When the furious Chimera tried to blast me once again while running towards my direction, five of my Arms of Demise appeared on its back as they tightly held five of its claws, the monster managed to destroy three but the remaining two twisted its arms towards its thorax, and as the beams were released from the claws, the Chimera received two new holes on its body.
The powerful beams grilled its insides as it desperately tried to use its free claws to destroy the remaining Arms of Demise. However, the moment it managed to, five giant hammers made of Lava and Venomous Gemstones fell from the sky, smashing the monster head and arms, a powerful explosion of magic and shockwaves of energy was released from each blow.
I quickly flew towards the monster back and once again sliced off one of its arms, now with its entire row of four left arms gone, the monster was severely weakened and it used its red tentacles more aggressively.
The hundreds of massive red tentacles suddenly transformed, opening thousands of tiny jaws, they started to throw a barrage of venomous bullets in all directions. The Hammers were blasted into pieces due to the power and speed of the venomous bullets while the Arms of Demise were already gone.
I already had immunity to Poison so I just flew directly towards the massive forest of tentacles, twisting my body around, I used my long and thick metallic tail to slice the tentacles while using my swords to do the same. Powerful slashes of Thunder and Nether cut off the tentacles easily. The monster's body was too weakened, and it couldn't move its claws towards its back, only smashing itself with the dungeon walls while trying to throw me off its body.
Seeing the delicious meal that was already on its last moments, my Armor furiously growled in hunger as it fused itself with my Aura and formed an intimidating Thunder Dragon that voraciously devoured the Chimera's back and tentacles. The delicious flavors and energy filled my mind as my Aura expanded wildly once again, enhancing my body and armor.
The Chimera couldn't do a thing over my actions as it yelled in fury, shooting elemental beams everywhere in hopes to do something that could help him out! However, everything was futile and it was now being devoured alive.
My Aura mutated and released ten phantom thunder dragons that devoured the monster flesh with incredible energy. Without having realized I suddenly reached the spine of the beast and using both of my swords, a powerful slash sliced off the piece of bone, killing the beast instantly.
Suddenly, powerful energy was released from the Boss as it flew around the air, towards the Dungeon. My Aura was still voracious and hungry, so it took a big amount and devoured it.
This energy seemed almost limitless. The energy flowed through all of my body, I could feel my cells activating out of nowhere and trying to absorb the energy, but as they tried, some of them began to die, my cells weren't able to hold on such power somehow and were instantly dying the moment they tried to absorb the energy.
I saw the danger of such thing and against my Aura wishes, I expulsed the energy, which showed itself as a dazzling white mist, which quickly flew towards the Dungeon.
This wasn't a normal type of energy or magic. Just what was that? It almost killed me from the inside. Even my regeneration abilities weren't able to keep up with the constant death of my cells.
I checked my body as I was still a giant metallic dragon and most of the damage was internal. However, the moment the energy was released from my body, my internal organs, muscles, and bones quickly went back to excellent condition.
"System, what was that energy?"
[Kireina] [Aura] tried to [Devour] [###### ######]
[Due to [Kireina] possessing a [Mortal] body, it wasn't possible to assimilate [###### ######]
"What? So, I can't even know what energy it was?"
But still… An energy that cannot be assimilated by a Mortal body, its most likely something related to Divinity... Perhaps, there is a Divine Energy?
If this is true, then the Divine Energy from the [God of Sand and Earth] is the one manipulating the Dungeon… In an away, Divine Energy is converted to Dungeon Energy, but even when converted, it still cannot be devoured by a mortal. Interestingly enough, such energy goes back to the dungeon when a Boss or a strong enough monster dies, perhaps this energy was powering it up? Well, it was certainly not enough.
Anyways, this confirms my suspicion over this God trying to sabotage me, he's trying very hard to kill me, but the Dungeon has its rules set by the System, he cannot exceed these rules or will be most likely punished by his insolence to the System.
If he could break the rules, he would have already killed me for sure, he could just manipulate the Divine Energy into some kind of attack or spell, and completely vaporize me out of existence. If the Divine Energy was already killing from the inside while I was just trying to eat it, imagining how it could be used more offensively makes me worried.
Well, each Boss possesses this energy more or less, and even in their flesh it remains, but in such small quantities, it doesn't seem to be dangerous, only when I forcefully try to ingest a very concentrated amount is when it will backfire.
I glance around the floor and noticed how awfully quiet was the Dungeon, I was already imagining the God trying to send me another Boss right after this one, but he seems to have given up for the time being. Or perhaps he was scolded by the System? Imagining a Divine Entity being scolded by the System really makes me want to laugh.
If my assumptions are true, Gods have a lot of restrictions in the Mortal World, and cannot directly confront a mortal. However, they can still manipulate their believers and blessed ones, and probably try to kill me through them. Also, the [World's Epic] is there with all of those dangerous [Scripted Events], if many Gods try to sabotage me through these events, I may be caught by surprise.
I need to be even more cautious from now on, by killing so many Champions and Elemental Knights some Gods probably already want my death. There could be some exceptions like the God of Storms and Winds, who blessed one of my wives, he seems like he doesn't care much. Perhaps he got a lot of Divine Energy to play around with it and waste it in multiple blessed individuals.
The next [Scripted Event] will most likely be related to Thanatos and Azuma, those two countries seem like they are very important in the continent. I may end up once again changing the events and take all the benefits for myself instead of letting one of the sides wins. The Athetosea Kingdom wasn't even supposed to fight me in the first place and the [Scripted Event] that happened was something that should have happened in years since I was born. My ability to control my destiny and that of others are showing itself more and more.
I must play my cards carefully and not be fooled; I won't hesitate if I have to crush the Thanatos Kingdom before things get out of control. And even other Kingdoms that I can already imagine are watching us. I've prepared a lot of surprises for all of those who try to get in my way, however its never enough, my Kingdom is steadily creating more defensive measures, armies, monsters, artifacts, and items.
After relaxing for a moment, I calmed down my Aura as it slowly shrank inside of my body. I then deactivated my Armor as it slowly went back inside of my body, shrinking little by little. I don't think this has happened before; it usually just disappears…
Hm? Suddenly realized that on my humanoid appearance, I had changed greatly, my body was still over five meters tall, my fairy wings were gone and were now replaced by draconic golden wings. My arms were covered in purple and golden scales, my fingers had long and strong claws, and so my feet had the form of that of a reptile.
Although I had a lot of nude skin, most of it was covered in these scales. My humanoid face remained, but I was now a beautiful Dragonoid Woman, my eyes were now golden color with reptilian pupils, I had scales on my long ears and eyebrows and some in my cheeks, creating an adorable yet wild look. My air turned into a light purple and my orbs on my forehead and chest became purple and golden colored, I also had a thick golden dragon tail. I was not just Dragonoid but a Thunder Dragonoid no less… How did this happen?
Perhaps, when my armor fused with the Thunder and the Wyvern Spirit… And the Aura, and as everything merged and merged so much with my flesh, these changes occurred. I would be a little bit horrified if I didn't have shapeshifting abilities.
I quickly turned myself into a giant Red Slime and slowly decreased my mass until my usual form, then the small and slight details… And done. I was now back to normal, with my usual eight of 187 cm, my massive breast, my wide hips, my beautiful fairy face, wings, and fair skin, alongside scarlet red eyes. My Orbs slowly went back to their usual appearances and seemed to recognize this form as the "main" form.
It's really hard to shapeshift into complicated appearances and I can only do it perfectly with my original appearance, if I can practice more with this and some Illusion Magic, I could resemble anyone. I really didn't have any other "recorded" form in my head other than my fairy form and the male human I become after using [Human Male Physique]. However, I now had a new "recorded" form deeply engraved on my mind, which was this Thunder Dragonoid of five meters tall. Any shapeshift that I could do before didn't rearrange my stats like this.
I think I can make it shrink to normal size, the same I can increase my fairy size to fit my Giant wives at the time of intercourse. Shapeshifting has its limits as well; I can just make myself grow muscles and my strength will miraculously increase, my mass will still be the same. However, this Dragonoid form wasn't just cosmetic, as it brought real changes in strength and power, it was stronger than my fairy form but it had lower Magic, it was as if my stat distribution rearranged itself to fit this new form.
When I glanced at the system window, I saw a lot of notifications pop up while I snacked on the Boss's tentacles. The EXP accumulated from some of the previous floor monsters was added as well as the one given by the Boss.

That's a very interesting Blessings, hopefully, this effect can start right away, I have quite a few Chimeras on my Kingdom that could use this power to grow stronger.
This Boss meat was incredibly delicious and varied in all of the flavors of the sea, truly a delicacy… The Tentacles were sweet and soft, creamy even. The meat on the fish body was tender yet firm and had a strong fishy flavor and scent. The massive claws had tender white meat inside, overflowing with juices.
Before I could lose my mind into devouring this being, I called on my family, who quickly entered and noticed that I wasn't wearing my armor anymore. My wives and children happily helped me butchering the colossal beast while snacking on the Boss themselves. Afterward, we had a big feast.
