"This is cool as hell. I had some maids back in Korea, but they were never as pretty as this. It's like she was pulled straight from a modeling magazine," Charna says, continuing to poke the maid's face.
"Okay, well, follow behind, I guess,"
It feels weird being treated with such respect…
"Hey, if you ever feel down. I have a shoulder you can rest on," Astra slips past me and wraps her arm around the maid's shoulder.
You motherfu-
"I'm very sorry, but I only exist to serve my Mistress,"
The maid then continued to walk forward, but when Astra tried to follow, she realized her feet had been frozen to the ground with ice.
"Lucy!" She shouted, but I just shrugged as I did absolutely nothing.
I can't access my ice powers unless I have the crown on my head… so that means the maid did that.
"Anyway, we're about to arrive back at that central place, but what are your evolutions?" I asked the rest of the group as I was extremely curious.
They weren't limited to the specific power granted by the power stones… but instead, they had skills that related to their base.
"Ancient Weakened Succubi," Mia says.
"Light and Dark Spirit," Aria says.
"Dhampir," Astra says.
"Weakened Blood Drake," Nell says.
"DRAKE!?" Some of us shout in unison.
The others weren't very surprising, but being related to a drake was terrific as they had high strength and speed.
Plus, with Nell having mana now, she can probably master magic as well.
From what I could see, she had the most potential out of all of us.
"Okay, well, I'll go next then. Sun Spirit," Amanda says, and we continue down the line.
"Weakened Shadow Drake," Charna says.
Our jaws all dropped, and I could feel the overwhelming jealousy seeping through the hivemind.
"W-well, mine isn't as cool, but I'm a High Human," Clio says.
"Same with me," Celestine adds.
Electra giggles to herself a bit due to the name… which I didn't think was all that funny, but I guess whatever makes her happy.
"Why are you snickering," But Clio ended up bringing the topic up.
"Cause… a high-human… Got it? Pretty funn-"
"It's not funny," Clio cuts off Electra.
Her smile turned upside down into a frown before she jumped into Ethel's arms, crying like a baby that was just born.
"Just stop it,"
"E-even you,"
Ethel's heart seemed to jerk at Electra's puppy dog eyes, but before she could respond, the wall beside us cracked, revealing another one of the massive crawlers.
"Mistress, please step bac-"
My maid tried to protect me, which I was grateful for, but we had already defeated this one thing before, and like branding in our brains, we executed the exact same attack from earlier.
SHING
Astra's large sword of blood pierced the crawler's head, shattering it into thousands of pieces.
"Just stay back," I say to my maid as we continue down the hall.
"A-as you wish," My maid stutters.
Wow… she completely underestimated us, huh?
"Anyway, shall we continue. Ummmmm… So, my evolution is a Weakened Water Drake," Nuala says.
"Mine is pretty similar to Lucy's now… I'm a Weakened Ice Drake," Electra adds.
"I'm last then. I'm a Weakened Merwoman," Ethel says.
"*sigh*... I'm not even surprised that there are more drakes…." I mutter, holding my forehead with my hand.
"Mistress, are you alright?"
"Yes, yes, anyway, we're here,"
I glance up and look at the large stone dome that we almost lost our lives in… and encountered a goddess.
Well, it was only me that encountered her, and I don't think it's the right time to inform them about an interspacial being that just took control over the dungeon.
I doubt they'd even believe me anyway.
"We're going down this path," I signal to the other girls to follow me down the path I had covered with ice.
I didn't want to stay here any longer…
"Is this where the boss is?" Mia asks, but I just shrugged my shoulders before activating [Stolen Tundra Crown] and melting the ice.
The path was revealed to us, so we quickly dashed down it without a hint of hesitation.
We were much stronger than before, so our confidence in this powerful dungeon rose.
kekekeke
The faint sound of somebody laughing came from down the stone hall.
The clacking off mandibles then began to echo through the cave, mingling with the faint laughing as it traveled past us.
Suddenly, a pair of red glowing eyes revealed themselves from down the hall.
Small torches were lit aflame with a basic fire that only provided light, revealing the large dome towards the end of the hall.
We swallowed a large gulp of saliva before regrouping.
The man with black hair and red eyes held a large rigid scythe that was sharp enough to tear through the air.
Every time he twirled it around himself, the air shook as if it was trying to escape the man's swings.
He had light brown skin and was dressed in armor made with the carapace of some of the crawlers.
"You all found me quite fast," He says.
"You can talk?" I speak up first.
"Of course, I'm not like any of those lowly insects you were eradicating from before… But, I will admit you girls are quite strong… but it's a shame that you'll have to die by the hands of my servants,"
He then waved his hand down, causing eight massive crawlers to come out running from behind him.
Krkkkkk
I first took action by activating [Aurora Borealis] and [Stolen Tundra Crown].
The lights surrounded us, giving us a boost in power that was so great we had a hard time controlling it at first.
The ice then erupted from my feet in waves, slowly melding together into the chains that wrapped around the massive spiky legs of the running crawlers.
They were able to break through them easily, but my job was just to slow them down.
Nell behind me was bleeding from her eyes and nose as she slowly separated her hands.
The crawlers were beginning to cramp up, causing them to trip on their own legs and eventually just completely stop moving.
First, Mia created a halberd from pink flames that she held in her hand instead of creating a large one to knock the crawler down.
She spun it across her back, building up enough momentum to crack the carapace on the face of the first massive crawler.
The rock-hard pieces crumbled from its face, and Mia just managed to dodge an attack by the crawler, which extended a pronged tongue that threatened to tear her head off.
Upon ducking out of the way, she spun the halberd across her shoulder and then her wrist, building up enough momentum to slice the tongue off and then go directly at the opening in the crawler's face.
She stabbed into the fleshy meat and then extended the halberd with all her power, destroying the brains of the crawler.
It was a bone-chilling sight, but it got the job done.
Next was Ethel, who used the same strategy as before and created an armory worth of weapons behind her that were aimed at all the weak points on the massive crawler.
The eyes, nostrils, and small holes that I ȧssumed were ears.
She was struggling to dodge the massive pronged tongue that extended from the crawler's mouth, though, so she sent the weapons flying one by one.
It was a tedious process, but eventually, she got the crawler to bleed out.
Its tongue went limp, signaling its death.
Next, there was Astra, who was taking care of two of the crawlers simultaneously.
Her power was utterly overwhelming, and she wasn't even a vampire yet, just a dhampir.
She created a liquid wall of blood that shielded her from the vision of the crawlers, causing their tongues to just limply poke through them, hoping to hit Astra.
Most of the time, they did come close, but with just a bit of time, she created two massive swords of blood that came crashing down onto the crawler's heads, exploding them into tiny pieces.
That was four down but four still remained and Nell was about to pass out.
If it weren't for Clio and Celestine healing her and buffing her, she would've lost control long ago.
Next was Charna, who killed the crawler quite fast by creating a puddle of shadows beneath it and continuously slashing at one part of its body while avoiding the tongue circling around the crawler's body.
Eventually, she was able to crack the carapace, but instead of stabbing her daggers into it and letting it bleed out, the shadow puddle beneath her into a small scythe that pierced deep into the crawler.
It was apparent it hit the internal organs as it writhed in pain before going limp.
"Mistress,"
"Yes, I see. He's not doing anything. He is most likely observing us and taking all of our powers into account,"
"Is that why Mistress hasn't made much of a big move?"
"Mmmmm… Kind of… It's just I'm making a plan," I mutter before looking at the massive corpses of the dead crawlers.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"This is cool as hell. I had some maids back in Korea, but they were never as pretty as this. It's like she was pulled straight from a modeling magazine," Charna says, continuing to poke the maid's face.
"Okay, well, follow behind, I guess,"
It feels weird being treated with such respect…
"Hey, if you ever feel down. I have a shoulder you can rest on," Astra slips past me and wraps her arm around the maid's shoulder.
You motherfu-
"I'm very sorry, but I only exist to serve my Mistress,"
The maid then continued to walk forward, but when Astra tried to follow, she realized her feet had been frozen to the ground with ice.
"Lucy!" She shouted, but I just shrugged as I did absolutely nothing.
I can't access my ice powers unless I have the crown on my head… so that means the maid did that.
"Anyway, we're about to arrive back at that central place, but what are your evolutions?" I asked the rest of the group as I was extremely curious.
They weren't limited to the specific power granted by the power stones… but instead, they had skills that related to their base.
"Ancient Weakened Succubi," Mia says.
"Light and Dark Spirit," Aria says.
"Dhampir," Astra says.
"Weakened Blood Drake," Nell says.
"DRAKE!?" Some of us shout in unison.
The others weren't very surprising, but being related to a drake was terrific as they had high strength and speed.
Plus, with Nell having mana now, she can probably master magic as well.
