Ear-piercing thunderous sounds broke through the large room, which walls and ceiling were made up of purple and golden bricks, the growls of a lizard-like beast, the size of a twenty-floor building resonated through the whole place.
Suddenly, its head was pierced by countless of shadow tentacles that formed into thin and sharp needles, afterwards, its neck was then sliced off by a giant sword made of heavenly light.
After the sound of such behemoth falling to the ground, completely dead, another beast of its same appearance appeared behind it, and then another and another, forming a small group of five, menacingly looking at their preys with their twelve golden eyes, their large lizard bodies covered in purple scales and their long wings, each time they released their breaths, small thunder sparks would come off their mouths. These behemoths were Thunder Wyverns.
The Shadow Tentacles and the Large Heavenly Light Swords were conjured by Wagyu and Kekensha, with the help of Palami. Currently, the Wolf Team, the Blood Team, and the Demon Trio are exploring the last floors in the Evergreen Dungeon, the lair where the Thunder Dragon Overlord resides.
"To think that after two weeks, we have finally reached the last floors! Humph!" Said Asure, as he moved his giant and sturdy body, summoning giant boulders made of Iron and Copper from the ground, hitting a Thunder Wyvern and impaling its belly up to its throat, killing it instantly.
"From we have heard from the citizens, it should have taken months and months, I can't say that we are lucky or lucky thought…" Said Raito, while moving at the speed of lightning, even faster than the large Thunder Wyverns while slicing their claws and feet, waiting for a giant crimson-colored wolf that had a gigantic red horn on its forehead, who stabbed the Wyvern's head repeatedly, creating a bloody mess.
"Well done Kurimu! But I am not losing either! Awoo!" Roared a giant wolf, whose fur was azure-colored, around its neck it had a long mane made out of crystalline water, and several gemstones decorated his large body. He was Tsuchimizu, one of the first-named Crimson Wolves, who had evolved in the trip here and managed to become a Spiritual Undine Wolf. Thanks to his unusual affinity with Water and Earth, he had become a new species of wolves never seen before.
"Nothing can beat my horn! Awwooo!"
The same could be said for Kurimuzonhon, the large Crimson Wolf, who had a giant red horn on over its head. He was named after his great crimson-colored horn, and after evolving several times, he became a Demonic Horn Crimson Wolf, a unique species of a wolf who had a single giant horn that they used to stab their preys to death. After his evolution, he was able to freely manipulate it as if it were an extension of his body or a limb.
"These guys are too noisy…" Said the annoyed Yuki, who was once an Ice Wolf taken by Kireina and her group to her early Kingdom. After training diligently in several expeditions, she finally evolved into a Tundra Werewolf, and afterward into a Winter Moon Werewolf. She was able to freely change her appearance from a giant ice wolf into a humanoid wolf beastfolk. She used her prominent physical abilities and Ice manipulation to create gigantic ice spears that pierced two Thunder Wyverns ahead of herself, who she deemed as too noisy, ending their lives.
"Aah, Yuki chan killed two in one go~!"
"We should do the same~"
"Yes, together!"
Suddenly, three beautiful maidens, with pinkish skin, scarlet hair and eyes, and long knife-like ears rushed through the floor, manipulating giant waves of blood and shaping them into different weapons, throwing them directly against the Thunder Wyverns that blocked their way.
Each one wielded a different weapon and had a slight resemblance with Kireina's, special her face and curves. They were the Blood Team leaders, who were once Blood Servants but that worked hard and evolved up, changing their race and becoming Blood Elves and afterward, High Blood Elves. These three beautiful vampire-like maidens were named by Kireina as Clumsy, Weird and Serious, due to their behaviors.
Weird rushed towards the frontlines, she had the greatest chest in the trio, with large hips as well, using her physical prowess, heavy armor, and great weapons, she defended the other two from the Thunder Wyvern attacks while retaliating with several weapon techniques and Blood Magic, severing the Wyvern's hands.
Afterward, Clumsy and Serious worked together and used their masterful Archery and Magic to end the Thunder Wyverns lives, a rain of sharp and solidified blood arrows and corrosive blood rivers rushed towards the Wyverns, bathing them in a bloody and painful onslaught of attacks.
Not long after, the Wyverns fell to the ground, with their bodies devastated and their eyes lifeless.
Palami and Kekensha, who seemed to be the leaders of the group, gathered everyone else and began assessing the corpses, butchering them and saving up the dropped materials. They already knew that Thunder Wyverns spawned more rarely than other monsters, so they used this small time to rest and assess their gains, while also snacking into the delicious Wyvern flesh.
Kurimu voraciously ate the leg of a large Thunder Wyvern, while Tsuchimizu ate the belly of another.
Wagyu had three heads, and each one would eat on their own, and after evolving his [Parallel Thought Processing] Skill, his extra two heads gained a greater independency. Thankfully, they all thought alike.
"Thunder Wyvern meat is delicious!"
"And the electric sensation of each munch, heavenly!"
"I would love it if we could eat it cooked, though… I miss Master!" Said the three heads at the same time.
All of the wolves glared at the crying head of Wagyu; however, they didn't ridicule him but agreed.
"I also miss Master; she makes the best food!" Said Kurimu, who was accustomed to Kireina's prepared food, whenever she cooked in the Royal Kitchen.
"Hmm… I miss some Karage… I wonder if Master, her wives, or Chokumotsu could make some with this Wyvern meat…" Said Tsuchimizu, while munching on the raw flesh.
"Well, I mean, we could try to cook… If Palami nee-san can help us out!" Said Clumsy, while grabbing her sister's arms, who were also eating the flesh and drinking the blood of the Thunder Wyverns.
"Sigh… Do I have to stop every fight to cook for you? Even I get tired! I'm not Master's who has an almost unlimited Stamina!" Said Palami, complaining while roasting a piece of meat, stuck to her sword.
Asure was at her side eating a whole Thunder Wyvern torso for himself, laughing.
"Bwahaha! No need to feel pressured, Palami, we are going to finish this dungeon in the next couple of days anyway, relax"
"Hmm… I'm fine with the provisions we had prepared, Master was very generous, although I would have loved if she gave us a cooking Slime Clone, it seems that those were gained by the other groups… we were too late" Said Raito, while opening a bento box, filled with colorful boiled rice (forest grains) and thin slices of roasted meat covered in a sweet sauce.
"We already ate them all! It only lasted a few days…" Said Kekensha, eating a Thunder Wyvern arm.
"That's because you wolves have giant appetites! I have a smaller and refined belly, I don't need to eat like a glutton to feel satisfied" Said Raito, proud of his slim physique and small build.
"And that's why you get tired so fast as well, if you ate more, you would have larger stamina and last more in the battlefield!" Said Yuki, angered over Raito's lack of appetite.
All of the wolves loved to eat big meals to save up Stamina and fight for large and prolonged amounts of times, while Raito and Palami would get tired more so often, due to their smaller Stamina stat.
"Ugh, I don't want to discuss with a mother…" Said Raito while moving to Palami's side, seemingly trying to guard himself against Yuki's angry stare, who was now on her wolf beasfolk appearance and could show her emotions more easily with a human face.
"Haha! We apologize… but that's how we are, we are different races, but we work pretty well together nonetheless… Very well, let eat and then we shall continue! I personally can't wait to reach this final boss" Said Palami, hugging Raito's neck with her slim yet absurdly strong arm, Raito who was eating spit the rice on his mouth and was being passively asphyxiated by her.
"Bugeehh! Ggaah! P-Palami…! Guaah…!"
"What? Oh! S-Sorry… Since I evolved that my arms and grip strength have become greater, my bad Raito. Are you okay?" Apologized Palami, with a face containing her laughter over Raito's ridiculous face after being casually asphyxiated.
"Do you think I am okay?! Gods…" Said Raito, cleaning his armor and drinking some beer.
As the colorful team made up of Wolves, Demons and Blood Elves ate lunch, in the coastal region of the continent, a young girl on her twelves, with the lower half of that of a crab explored the inside of a dungeon filled with water and deep pools. Marine life was common in this area, and giant floating fished and eels would sometimes surge from these pools and easily prey on the weak demi-humans that lived around the dungeon.
As the girl stepped in a trap, a large hole was activated and she fell hopelessly towards a deep pool, filled with small shark-like fishes ready to eat her alive.
"Uwaaaaahh! Noooo!"
Suddenly, a large amount of black hair entangled her crab feet and tightly grabbed her, moving her towards the surface. The girl couldn't believe her luck, but after seeing the scary deep black colored hair entangling her entirely, she feared that another strange monster rescued her, just to be eaten alive…
As the little girl, whose hair was scarlet-colored and her eyes aquamarine glanced at her rescuer, she found a beautiful humanoid woman, with a small and gentle build, scarlet eyes, and… a strange perverted smile.
"Bufufu… I've saved you little crab girl~" The seeming beauty of the woman who rescued her was completely shattered as the crab girl discovered that the woman's hair had a jar of its own and that she was about o eaten…
"Wait! Futima, don't eat her!" Said a young boy voice, who came from behind the woman's body.
"Huh? Oh! I didn't mean to, I'm sorry… My hair sometimes acts in her own, bufufu…" She said, apologizing to the sweating little crab girl.
A young, pale white boy with crimson eyes and short brown hair, wearing nobles' clothes greeted the little girl, whose race was Cancer, the Crab Merfolk. The young boy race was a Ghoul, an Undead who crawls in graveyards, seeking rotting corpses to eat. Yet, he was handsome and composed for such a race.
"Are you okay?" He said while extending his right hand, who was covered in a thin white glove, made out of soft fabric.
"Y-Yes… Who are you?" The Cancer girl accepted the hand of the young Ghoul as she was lifted with unexpected strength.
"My name is Ghumin, what was such a young lady like you doing in here? Don't you know that this is a high ranked Dungeon?" He said, introducing himself while asking the little girl why was she here in the first place.
"W-Well… I… Uaah!" As the girl was about to answer the young Ghoul questions, a group of demi-humans and monsters was revealed on his back, there were Arachne, Giant Lizards, and handsome Squirrel beastfolk, accompanying them there was a group of ghostly beings, a Slime Ghost wearing a white dress, two headless Knights, holding their severed heads with their left hands, and more creepy-looking ladies. There was also a playful Hellhound girl, who had long and black chains around her arms and legs.
The girl, terrified by such a big band of misfits, fell unconscious.
"Ah! A-Are you okay? Gods… What happened to her?" Asked the young Ghoul boy.
"You scared him!" Said a Jiangshi, a tall zombie woman wearing Chinese-like clothes who also had a muscular yet feminine and slim figure.
"I-I-I…? B-But I was trying to be polite… Oh no… It's really hard to socialize as a Ghoul in the outside world…" Said the Ghoul boy, depressed, while holding on the head of the unconscious Cancer girl.
"Is she alright?" Asked a large Lizard, which body was covered in countless rocky scales and spikes.
"Yeah, she's still breathing… You shouldn't be so scary, Ghumin san~!" Said a ghostly Slime Girl, floating around.
"Sigh… I'm sorry…"
"So, what do we do with her? Should we move her back to the village? Her parents must be worried about her!" Said a giant Arachne with her humanoid half resembling a four-armed Fire Oni.
"It's the least we could do…" Said one of the beheaded knights.
"Okay, let's go back… Sigh, just when we had advanced through the dungeon…" Said a Squirrel boy, with short black hair and shaman-like clothes, expressing his disappointment.
"But why? We don't need all to go back, just leave the boy to the task~" Said another, more mature-looking Squirrel men, wearing light white armor.
"What are you talking about, Kuraen?! Master said that we needed to do everything together, or that we wouldn't survive!" Yelled the giant Lizardman.
"Okay… okay… I get it, sheesh… What a cold-blooded fellow… Haha! Get it? Because he's a liza-"
Before the handsome squirrel man could finish his sentence, everyone looked at him with bored expressions, they were clearly tired of their companion bad jokes.
"Never mind…"
