Chapter 331 Dungeon Conquest
—–
When I reached the surface at long last, I felt exhausted, even after I had done all of this, I wanted to take a break for now, it was really a lot to take in… I looked around my surroundings to find everybody being alright. The giant Flesh Dragon abomination was long dead, and it seems that things had finally ended.
This damn dungeon was longer than I had expected, I really just want to go rest for now before I begin doing something as crazy as this! Hah~ Thankfully I can go rest in the premium bed that I have inside the room over Julia’s manor. Fufu, I feel like a privileged noble lady each time I sleep in such a nice bed.
“You guys alright?” I asked while floating around, ignoring the system’s several windows, it seems I was leveling up a lot, but my priority was seeing if everyone was alright. I saw Emeraldine and Partner standing up from the ground, all covered in blood, while Lucifer turned into his humanoid form from his giant dragon form.
“Yeah, did you do it?” Asked Lucifer. “Everything is in silence now, and still… I can’t feel a single monster nearby at all, and the abomination stopped moving some seconds ago.”
“Yeah, I did it! I even devoured the Dungeon’s Soul and infused my… erm, my powers into it, so I am the Dungeon Master now, or something.” I said rather pridefully.
“The Dungeon Master?!” Asked Lucifer. “W-Wha… You became such a thing now?! This is… Don’t you know that Dungeon Masters are?”
“They control a dungeon?” I wondered.
“T-They’re incredible figures! Perhaps there is none in the surrounding fiefdoms but in other Kingdoms and Nations of the world, Dungeon Masters are figures of great power and wealth, they even control the economy of the nations from the shadows, and there are even a long history of them fighting wars over the ownership of Dungeons… I had not heard about them since I was revived by you but… You should realize that you’ve become something very important!” Said Lucifer.
“Okay~ Not like I’ll be going around screaming to people that I am the Dungeon Master or something! Relax for a bit, big lizard.” I sighed.
“That’s amazing though, Dungeon Masters can summon monsters, maybe? So Master, can you summon meat at all times?!” Asked Partner. “Maybe like this we can solve some of our food production problems back in our village! Breeding Giant Rats is ok… But the variety of meat would be nice if it could increase a bit more, also even with all the rats we got, it is not enough to feed everybody each day.”
“Hm! I had not thought about it! We could use the power of the dungeon to do a ton of things, maybe even make crops and cattle!” I said, as new ideas began to emerge in my mind.
“I wonder if I could add my own abilities to the dungeon and try to do something nice that could help us!” Said Emeraldine. “And… well, now that we are done here, maybe we should go back? The Flesh Dragon didn’t dropped any loot though, but I got tons of EXP, I am only five levels from reaching the level cap… I wonder if I can evolve more or will… this be my limit of development…?” Wondered Emeraldine as she looked into her Status.
“Hm, I still need around twenty-five levels to evolve myself, as I recently evolved into a high ranked dragon… We grow slow, even with all the EXP we got from this adventure, I had not leveled up so much in a long time, it does certainly feels refreshing to feel so much strength coursing through my body like an aura of pure strength.” Said Lucifer with a rather prideful smile.
“Same! I might evolve very soon, I need a few little more levels, hehee!” Laughed Partner, excited about her next evolution. “What about you, Master?”
“Erm, let me see…”
Ding!
[Calculating EXP earned…]
[You earned a total of 5650300 EXP]
[Your Level has increased from Level 55 to Level 56!]
[Your Level has increased from Level 56 to Level 57!]
[Your Level has increased from Level 57 to Level 58!]
[Your Level has increased from Level 58 to Level 59!]
[Your Level has increased from Level 59 to Level 60!]
[You have reached max level!]
[Evolution is now available]
In front of me, several windows emerged, calculating all the EXP I earned. Not only from defeating all the lizards that we fought going down the floors after defeating the big Basilisk Boss, but also from defeating the Flesh Dragon and also killing the damn Dungeon Soul…Everybody only got a small share of that EXP, but I got all of it, and that’s… over five million EXP! What in the hell?! So much! With that, it was more than enough to reach Level 60 from Level 55, and I ended getting my level cap already, I am already level 60 out of 60! This is… it means only one thing.
“I can… I can evolve again!” I said happily, looking at my own Status with an obsessed face.
“Evolve already?! So soon?!” Asked Partner.
“Well, it isn’t so soon, we spent many months while barely earning any EXP in the village, Partner. I think it has been a year since Maria began her adventure as a Ghost- Ah, yes, it is indeed very quickly… Maria, what’s your current Rank?” Wondered Emeraldine.
“My Rank? B+!” I said with a childish smile. “That only means I am…”
“Y-You’re already evolving into an A Rank monster?! T-Those monsters are said to have the strength to destroy entire nations and even shatter the earth and blow away mountains!” Said Emeraldine while covering her mouth in surprise.
“Amazing! Couldn’t expect less from my Master! She’s the very best after all! No questions in that regard!” Said Partner while giggling mischievously.
“Hmph, it seems you’re already going to another level…” Said Lucifer. “I wonder what sort of ghost can even have A Rank…” Said Lucifer. “You might be quite unique, at least within the land of the living.”
