526 Side Chapter: Dungeon Conquest! (2/2)

”You've worked very hard, Rajaba, take a break for now,” said Gufumin.

”Let me help you out,” said Jorogumo, generating many spider threads that wrapped around Rajaba's reattached limbs to stuck them tightly together while Yurei closed the wounds with her Phantasmal Healing magic, which wasn't as strong as other attributes, but still worked on the living.

Rajaba saw the carefulness and benevolence of her companions as she smiled.

”Thank you, everyone… for letting me accompany you through this long journey… haah… it feels so long since I saw my father, I want to meet him… but first, we must speak with Kaggoth-sama…” said Rajaba.

”You're right…” said one of Kireina's Slime Clones, who appeared behind Rajaba's back and released a strong glow of yellow light that healed her limbs and pain faster than anyone else in the party.

Most probably, if it were not because of Kireina's Slime Clones, the party would have needed to go back and forth from the dungeon because Yurei was simply not enough as the only healer in the group.

Ganjo began to munch on the corpse of the giant Kraken while Erathe grilled large chunks of it alongside its crab-like claws.

”So where is the god? Is he sleeping?” wondered Ganjo.

”I am here…” said a calm yet loud voice that resonated through the entire floor, everyone became stiff as they glanced at the ceiling, where the voice came from.

”Kaggoth, right?” asked one of Kireina's Slime Clones.

Kaggoth's presence expanded through the entire floor like a domain, as his ethereal manifestation finally showed itself to the mortals present at this moment in his dungeon.

”Indeed. I am Kaggoth, the Demon Demigoddess of Exoskeletons and Aquatic Invertebrates…” said Kaggoth, showing her true appearance. She was incredibly similar to the statues they had in the tribe of Red Carapace, she was a giant red-colored crab with two pairs of long claws, small and spiny legs, many spikes atop its back and claws, and two large and beady black eyes, her mouth was filled with tiny jaws that released bubbles.

”Ah… Kaggoth-sama! Wait… goddess?” asked Rajaba.

”Y-Yes… I am indeed a Demigoddess, not a Demigod… but it seems that no matter how much I tried to tell you, my children, you never understood and worshiped me as a male deity…” said Kaggoth with a bit of embarrassment that she felt in front of Kireina, someone she wanted to meet.

”I am deeply sorry, our matriarch!” said Rajaba, trying to kneel to apologize, but Kaggoth stopped her.

”Don't worry, it is in the past, please don't feel ashamed, my daughter…” said Kaggoth with a gentle voice.

”Ah… T-Then… goddess-sama, do you know anything about my brother?” asked Rajaba.

Kaggoth sighed.

”Your brother… I was currently sleeping when he entered the dungeon, and when I began to check on him after hearing the discussions of his disappearance, he was already dead… But I still have his soul in here, so I can revive him for you… but it will be sadly a newborn child from one of my eggs” said Kaggoth.

”My brother… oh… b-but he can be saved?” asked Rajaba in the middle of tears.

”He has been secured… his memories are still intact, and I've fed him with magic to stay healthy as a soul… but I cannot bring him as a Cancer because you were only conceived with another god I met and… hm?” Kaggoth suddenly stopped in place as she inspected Rajaba's belly.

”Oh? You have sharp eyes” said one of Kireina's Slime Clones.

”It seems that Kireina was already aware, but you're pregnant my child… would you mind for your little brother to reincarnate as your child?” asked Kaggoth.

”Y-You're pregnant?!”

Gufumin, who was currently in a relationship with Rajaba and only spent a single night with her, almost fainted out…

Rajaba was not anything less than baffled as well.

”Eeeeeeeeeh…?!”
