I swam rapidly, moving quickly through the power of my new Skills to both tank the hits and evade and swift quickly. The Three Headed Eel was being overwhelmed as I began piercing through its body with my magic attacks and my very body. At the same time, it desperately attacked more, unleashing lightning and water attacks, I resisted the blows which carried strong divinity, my resistance Skills were increasing in levels!
Ding!
[The [Lightning Resistance: Lv1] Skill Level has increased to Level 2!]
[The [Lightning Resistance: Lv2] Skill Level has increased to Level 3!]
[The [Lightning Resistance: Lv3] Skill Level has increased to Level 4!]
[The [Lightning Resistance: Lv4] Skill Level has increased to Level 5!]
[The [Water Resistance: Lv1] Skill Level has increased to Level 2!]
[The [Water Resistance: Lv2] Skill Level has increased to Level 3!]
[The [Water Resistance: Lv3] Skill Level has increased to Level 4!]
[The [Water Resistance: Lv4] Skill Level has increased to Level 5!]
…
Oh yeah, this is pretty good! But being in the brink of death each time is not my style-
"SHAAAAAAHHH!!!"
The Eel grew even more desperate, cosmic energy melded with its lightning, unleashing an even more destructive attack against me, I evaded it, but the lightning spread further all around the place, which made it so several little lightning strikes reached my body at the same time.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!
"Shit… this Cosmic Energy really packs a punch."
Ding!
[The [Cosmic Resistance: Lv2] Skill Level has increased to Level 3!]
[The [Cosmic Resistance: Lv3] Skill Level has increased to Level 4!]
Good, that was what I was actually aiming for, anyways!
This should be enough gains for now, I don't want this thing to get any more cockier than it already has. You're going down now, friend.
FLAAASH!
Quickly after that, I reached the three-headed Eel's heads with a smile on my butterfly face. Chaotic power began emerging from my entire body as my shape distorted into a monstrous beast, my tentacles engulfed the entire boss monster and crushed its entire body in a matter of seconds!
"[Chaos Chains]! [Abyssal Spears]!"
I laughed as I conjured powerful Chaos-Attribute Divine Spells, enormous chains chained the eel while spears pierced through its entire body, killing it on the spot.
"SHAAAAAHH…!"
The eel gave out a last cry before Black consumed him, turning him into an Ego with the element of lightning, pretty interesting. I wonder what I could make out of it…
At the same time, the rest of my Party already had slain the rest of the monsters, so I just got a ton of EXP as a result of all the monster slaying.
Ding!

"And done… Everyone, how's it going?" I asked everyone else. They seemed to be alright, slightly tired. Moving around water meant going against the pressure of the whole water, so it forced to muscles to exercise quite a lot.
"Yeah just physically tired!" Brunhild sighed.
"I am alright." Sol said.
"These damn fishes… I'm going crazy with these things!" Fiere cried.
"I can detect more monsters down there, let's go finish them off quickly." Luminous said. "The more we last here, the more time we'll give to the dungeon boss to prepare something, whatever it might be."
"I agree, though I am feeling a bit hungry." I sighed, quickly storing everything we slain and eating the shark meat that was cut and roasted into slices by Sol. "Oh this shark's good! First time these damn monsters taste well for a change!"
"H-Hey give me some! I am starving too!" Luminous said.
"Don't hoard everything for you!" Eriant complained.
"Kireina-sama is an exceptional glutton." Ariant nodded.
"Eek! Okay, take as much as you want, let's just keep swimming down for now!" I sighed.
As we swam down we reached the second floor, but we found little monsters other than the previous ones, but in lower quantities and without any boss. I barely scrapped any EXP out of it.

Frank, however, seemed to act concerned.
"This Dungeon's strange…" He said. "These monsters are overflowing with cosmic energy, but this wasn't simple granted to them individually… Its like the dungeon made them with this power."
"What do you mean?" Sol asked. "Wait… I get it."
"You mean that the Dungeon itself is making the monsters like this?" Asked Fiere. "So the Boss took over the Dungeon's Powers somehow…"
"A Dungeon Core you mean?" Frank asked.
"No there are no Dungeon Cores in this world, they're only named Labyrinths and there's no core, power flows through the entire thing and it seems to not be managed either." I said. "It just spawns' monsters and environments. Labyrinths are born from the remains or bones of the Ancient Gods. All dead by now." I explained to Frank, he nodded while listening to my words.
"I see, this is truly a different system than the others I remember. Then again this world is both familiar yet unfamiliar to others I've visited…" Said Frank. "This feeling of familiarity yet unfamiliarity is what makes exploring new worlds so fun though."
"Hahh~ You better give me some of your system powers one day I also want to go around World Traveling with a System like yours." I sighed. "I might eventually bite a piece of it, you better watch your back." I giggled playfully.
"Hahaha, you're too much." Frank laughed as if this were a carefree conversation.
I mean it you little brat! I'm gonna eventually take a piece of you! There's no way I'll miss out on it!
