539 Fated Encounters: Nyzzets Labyrinth Conquest 1/?: A Nice Trip Trough Icy Fields (2/2)
Today was a peaceful day and adventurer parties gathering all around, exchanging monster materials for money, dining in the countless restaurants, or having a relaxing day with their friends or family.
The moment we appeared through the gate, we were rained with stares, surprised stares, mostly of people that could not believe who we were.
”I-Is that…?!”
”Kireina-sama! Our Goddess!”
”Goddess-sama has blessed us today with her presence?”
”Ah… and her entire family is here too!”
”Are they… going to explore the dungeon?”
”Perhaps goddess-sama and her family will conquer it once and for all”
Many people approached us, offering us their prayers, gifts, and many other things, I could not simply ignore them… so I decided to act a bit and reward them for their strong faith.
”My children, thanks for your prayers, you are all blessed. Blessings for all you,” I said, releasing pink smoke and white light from my hands, making it cover the people, these were small buffs that could last for over a week.
The people that went towards us received my 'blessings' and immediately felt stronger and vigorous, some people that had wounds or scars had them instantly healed, and everyone seemed even strongly fascinated by us… but as my presence was 'too strong', they always kept their distance.
Various children also approached us as I patted their heads and granted them small gifts such as accessories or even money or food if they wanted candy.
All of my citizens were all well-fed so, food wasn't a necessity, and as long as they worked in the dungeon, there wouldn't be problems with money either, most people only approached me to met me in person and receive either my blessings or just a bit of my motherly love.
”Oh? This place has gone through some improvements, it seems… is it because Honey used her Construction System to improve over this small town and made it into a proper city?” asked Zehe.
”Indeed, I set some Slime Clones into it, alongside various tireless Undead soldiers' hat could construct the buildings in a few hours,” I said.
”Mama, many people here!” said Nirah as she glanced around the surroundings, there was an abnormal amount of people following us around.
”Hm… this is a bit annoying… Let us try this then…” I said, as I gathered my family and released semi-transparent illusion smoke that slowly made the people lose perception of us, something similar to a stealth skill.
The people slowly forgot about us as they continued where they left their daily life activities.
”Oh, they went away… Mommy has many incredible powers…” said Belle, noticing what I did.
”My dear Belle, you're probably even more incredible than your mother… Through this dungeon it will be time for you to develop your abilities better by fighting slightly stronger monsters… though you could also visit the dungeon at home, this one is more fun to explore in my opinion,” I said.
”Seems like fun, mommy! But wouldn't it be a bit troublesome on how the dungeon works?” asked Belle.
”Ah, don't worry my baby, there is no problem in that regard, you'll see, we won't even need Nyzzet's help,” I said, as we finally reached the dungeon entrance and we entered through it, going down the purple-brick stairs.
This dungeon was a 'labyrinth-type' dungeon, which does not have large-scale biomes and it is mostly a sole structure, similar to the Forsaken Labyrinth.
As we reached the first floor and my children had some fun beating to death a few monsters that were as weak as flies, Nyzzet appeared to greet us on his ethereal projection form.
”Welcome back to my Dungeon, Kireina-sama… well, would you and your family want me to create a direct route down below?” asked Nyzzet with a humble tone of voice.
”Ah, it is not necessary, I can manipulate this Labyrinth like this,” I said, as I waved my hands and used the 'Labyrinth Sovereign Magic' spells 'Dungeon Area Assimilation and Manipulation' and the 'Labyrinth Maintenance', which gave me the ability to mold the dungeon's walls, ceilings, and rooms as if they were mud.
”W-What?!”
Nyzzet seemed surprised by my power, he did not seem to know that I was capable of controlling the dungeons that I stepped in. Although it was not an all-powerful manipulation, it did let me open holes leading to the next floor while skipping mostly everything.
”Yeah, so don't worry about us,” I said, sending Nyzzet away.
”V-Very well, Kireina-sama…” muttered Nyzzet as his ethereal projection disappeared.
”It seems that the big dragon didn't know about Mommy's awesomeness!” said Ailine, chuckling.
Nyzzet expression when he became in disbelief was quite funny, and many of my children were laughing at the poor dragon god.
As we continued through the floor, we reached the area that would lead us to another random floor, but I decided to take over this entire area and its structure and mold it as a large staircase that led down to the last floor.
As we went through the stair, we also entered the small floors in between, filled with small biomes that only affected the inside but did not create large areas such as Morpheus's dungeon.
There were floors filled with saltwater ponds, coral forests, and flying aquatic monsters, floors filled with snow and ice-filled with fluffy monsters or ice elementals, and floors filled with dirt and jungle trees growing everywhere, with giant monkeys and rodents making their home in there.
After half an hour of a carefree trip, while slaying weak monsters, we reached the tenth floor where the first boss was waiting for us.
Usually, we would be lead randomly through all these floors and fight a random boss, but like this, we could select to fight it or not.
My children wanted to give it a go, so I let them jump out of the stairs as the rest of us followed them from behind.
