Chapter 88: Victory, Reaching The Dungeon Core!
Chapter 88: Victory, Reaching The Dungeon Core!
—–
Chaos had defeated the Elder Winter Dragon King at long last, as he gained a new wave of essence that covered his entire body and merged with it… alongside that, he made sure to mercilessly devour the creature’s soul, without letting it have a peaceful afterlife…
The amount of power he gained was almost enough to reach the next stage on his Existence Realm… but not enough.
However, he still had the entire corpse of the dragon to devour!
“It is done…” sighed Natalia.
“It was… More intense than we thought, it was really quite the challenge,” said Abyss.
“Indeed, but we pulled through. Our lord’s strength carried us to victory while we supported him from the back, wonderful teamwork,” said Belphegor.
“My lord looked spectacular as he roared monstrously and killed the ice dragon!” said Dura.
“Gaaooo!” said Erebus, roaring cutely as he went back to his humanoid form, he rushed to his papa as Chaos petted his head.
“Papa, amazing!” he said.
“It was a good fight. Now, let’s enjoy the meal for now. Afterward, we should go down and conquer the dungeon. And after that, let’s go back home. We can come back here on another occasion to hunt the other biomes from the previous routes we skipped,” said Chaos.
“Okay!”
Erebus and everyone else started to work together in butchering the beast, while Chaos started to eat parts that the rest wouldn’t usually eat, such as the scales, claws, and more. He even ate the entire head with its juicy brains and most of the internal organs.
The scrumptious flavors made him feel the fulfillment of his victory, even more, devouring this mighty beast was slowly increasing his cultivation, the essences flowing through his body boosted his stats every single second.
As the meat was grilled, everyone quickly began to dig in. It was a simple meal of grilled steaks, but they were delicious by themselves, the meat of the ice dragon was even greasier than the earth dragon, and it held a lot of flavorful juices the more it was grilled. Using some spices over it and accompanying it with death fruit ale, more than half of the entire creature was quickly consumed, mostly by Chaos.
Ding!
[Elder Winter Dragon King Bloodline] Assimilated]
[The bloodline has been integrated into the existing bloodline!]
[You learned the following Skill]
[Elder Winter Dragon King’s Freezing Roar]
[Elder Winter Dragon King’s Tundra Claws]
[Elder Winter Dragon King’s Element-Resistant Metallic Scales]
[Elder Winter Dragon King’s Powerful Freezing Breath]
[Ice Dragon Magic: Winter’s Call]
[Draconic Eye of Cryokinesis]
[Elder Dragon]
[Draconic Soul Orb of Ice Element]
…
Chaos quickly gained an assortment of new Skills. He had noticed that the Skills of each dragon were very similar to one another, they were often a Roar, Claws, Scales, and Breath Skill, which usually came with a Draconic Eyes Skill as well, granting them power over a certain element.
Chaos had already been messaged by Edward that the Synthesis Artifact was ready, so he was with high expectations over fusing all these Skills together with their certain categories to make even stronger versions. With this, he would surely be able to suppress those that might soon arrive looking for trouble.
The Skills descriptions told him about their usefulness in battle, which was more like reskins of previously learned skills, Elder Dragon was also an authority-based skill similar to Dragon King, and if both combined, he could have an even stronger authority over lesser races of dragons which he could suppress and give orders to.
The last skill was like the same version but of Earth element, which let him create a special Soul Orb inside of his soul that enhanced his defenses against ice and also his power-wielding ice element, while also infusing this element into his soul, making it even stronger.
Now Chaos wielded the power of three powerful Dragons, the Blazing Fire Dragon, the Earth Dragon King, and the Elder Winter Dragon. By unleashing his soul aura, he was able to generate phantoms of these three creatures, as they emerged as if they were part of his soul… It showed off an intimidating pressure, which would surely make known to any who were to fight him that he had already taken the lives of three strong dragons.
Feeling in a hurry to go back home, Chaos quickly saved the rest of the meat inside his Inventory and flew into the skies with everyone on his back, as he reached the depths of the Dungeon, the last floor, the boss floor.
Of course, it was empty.
The group entered inside and found nothing much, so they rushed into the last area of the floor where Chaos quickly felt the presence of the dungeon core.
“Here…”
CLASH!
Chaos shapeshifted his hand into a dragon claw and crushed the wall open, as a secret room was revealed to the party.
“T-This is the Dungeon Core room!” said Belphegor.
And greeting everyone’s sight there was a large sphere in the middle of the room, gleaming with white light. It exuded a strong pressure, but it was not strong enough to suppress Chaos…
“This is it. So you’re the Dungeon Core of the Boundless Abyss Dungeon…” said Chaos.
The Dungeon Core generated more vibrations, trying to attack Chaos, but it was useless.
“Papa, is that like me?” asked Erebus.
“Hm, it could be said so. I will make it a friend of ours now, so wait here, Erebus,” said Chaos.
Chaos walked towards the Dungeon Core which tried to fight back against his might, but it was useless!
TRUUUMMM!
Chaos continued to walk there, even with the enormous pressures hitting his face!
TRUUMMMM!
Chaos was unfazed, unaltered, and marching straight, no matter how much it resisted, the Dungeon Core was done for!
“Your efforts are useless… Now, greet your new master,” said Chaos with a dominant demeanor, his eyes flashed with crimson-red light as he unleashed his dark aura of chaos, infusing this chaos and miasma into the entire Dungeon Core the size of an elephant!
FLAAAASH!
The enormous amounts of energy began to infect the Dungeon Core, as its entire thought process began to be rewritten like a computer being infected by some malware…!
