We continued our dive into the dungeon. The thirty-first to fortieth floors were all desert landscapes which was no fun. Luckily we had cooling magic, or it would have been worse. The boss for that floor was a huge scorpion which, after some effort, we were able to take down. Luckily this time, we were all able to damage it without issue.
When we reached the forty-first floor, it was nothing but a canyon area with many wyverns flying about and giant lizards. These floors were a bit more tricky as they required us to deal with many flying enemies at a time. It took us quite a while to clean up these floors because I stopped helping as much and went to being a support role to give the girls more practice.
And now we were standing in front of the staircase that leads to the next boss. "Everyone ready?"
I looked around, and when everyone nodded, we moved down the stairs. We came to an oddly ordinary door which I pushed open. But to be honest, what was in front of me was not something I would expect. I was met with a strange room. It looked like a rest area, maybe an inn. I am not sure because when we walked in, there were a few couches and chairs. A table and even a few beds, all set up throughout the entire room.
There was also a door directly across from the room from the door I was standing out that said exit to floor fifty-one. While the room did look inviting and was not really big enough to be a boss room, we still entered the room in a wary manner.
"Welcome!" A booming voice was heard overhead. "You have arrived at the midway point! From this moment on you, when you enter the dungeon with this team of people, you will be able to continue from this floor. There is a teleport on the right side of the room that will allow you to leave the dungeon and return to the entrance. But be warned, if you reach the one-hundredth floor and are able to reset the dungeon, you will need to start from the first floor once again. Have a good stay at the lazy dungeon retreat…."
"Ummm… just to be sure, but I am not the only one who heard that, right?" Sei asked as she rubbed her ears.
"No, we all heard it. It looks like we can return to the capital for some time. I do wish to take a bath and sleep in a comfy bed." I answered as I stretched. And looked at the girls. "What do you all think? Want to go take a break?"
They all looked at each other before nodding their heads. I smiled and walked towards the teleport, with them following behind me. We all got into the teleport, and after I fed it a bit of mana to activate it, we were all teleported out of the dungeon.
Clear skies and fresh forestry air filled my nose as we appeared just outside the dungeon. The people who were standing there seemed startled, but I felt dead. I was tired. I really wanted to bathe and sleep.
"Alright, let's head home…." I used dimensional transfer and sent us all back to the palace. The others were still in the midst of their training, so I was not going to interrupt them. We all dropped our gear off and went to the baths. Atollie followed us as well. However, she was looking around at everything, which was probably fun for her since she had been stuck guarding a gate this entire time.
After stripping our clothes off and washing off, we all soaked in the tub. I closed my eyes and leaned back against the side of the bath, and let the hot water sink into my muscles. It was truly relaxing. Of course, Sophie and Adel sat on either side of me and used my shoulders as a pillow, which I did not mind one bit.
I will say Atollie has a nice body. Perfectly shaped hips and chest that were a little bigger than my own. After watching her undress, I began to realize I was one hundred percent a pervert now. Luckily no one seems to care if I look. Not like I planned to touch or anything. I got enough girls at my side. As for my friends, Sally's cheeks were red due to Sei being pushy and wanting to wash her body for her. In the end, she gave in and allowed it, but only after Sei pushed a few times.
"Faith, you turn eighteen soon." Adel suddenly whispered as she hugged my arm.
"Mmm…. But I do not think my body will age any more than it already has. Adel, what age do you plan to have me reset you to when you begin to grow older?" I asked out of curiosity.
"Me? This age. Whatever age is closest to yours." Adel replied. I could see that. She did not want to look older than me, I guess.
"I want the same. I do not want to age any more than I already have." Sophie nuzzled into my neck as she jumped into the conversation.
"Then I can just stop time for your bodies. Well, more like your cells that would force you to age. Now that I have full control over the spell, I can pretty much do anything. So if you want to stay at this age forever, let me know, and I will cast the spell on you." I did not wish to keep other cells from being affected. I would only stop the aging process of their body so they will never have any issues as the years go on. Kind of a false immortality.
"Then please do!" Adel hugged my waist, and this was followed by Sophie doing the same. I then got to warm sets of lips pressed against each cheek, causing me to smile. I hugged both girls' waists and cast stop on them. They will now live forever unless someone undoes the spell or they ask me to undo it.
