545 Fated Encounters: Nyzzets Labyrinth Conquest 7/?: The Childrens Progression (1/2)
.
.
When Lazuli was finally 'freed', her soul went into slumber to recuperate for now, as she had been sealed for so many years, her mind and consciousness were fragmenting, and now that she had been finally freed, her mind was finally recovering at an outstanding pace, but she needed to rest for it to recover properly.
And about her physical body, I got a few words from her before she went to sleep.
”My physical body? It was sealed into a mortal body… it was killed and… butchered by the humans that defeated me for the first time…” she said.
Due to her words, it seemed that the body generated by the dungeon was not the original body… I began to think of a way to replace it so the boss could keep respawning.
What I did was a bit complicated, but it seemed to work.
I scanned Lazuli's soul with my Mirage Magic combined with my soul and aura, and created a small copy of it, which I inserted into an area of my soul, I split it from my main soul and inserted it into the body.
What I did was using Mirage Attribute Magic to scan through the mind and the experiences and copy that 'information' into a new existence, I could call this a 'primitive soul copy'.
I made this 'soul copy' similar to how it happened to Athos and the sword Athos, but it was way simpler and more rudimentary, as it was similar to a simple computer archive copy than a whole new being.
It was similar to an AI of an enemy foe in a game than anything, it contained most of Lazuli's attacks and patterns, and it was a good replacement.
Nyzzet was bewildered by the many abilities that I showcased.
”Kireina-sama, you can copy a soul?! That's… that is something that only the very rare Soul Attribute Gods, children of the Supreme Goddess of Souls and Reincarnation can do… If this information were to be leaked, many other gods would lose their minds… And it is even more impressive when it is considered that you did it with the Divine Soul of Lazuli, who is a Living Deity of Rank 1, a being already above mortals…” muttered Nyzzet.
”I doubt I am as good as those gods, I just 'scanned' her soul through Illusion Attribute Magic, then used Phantom Magic to insert this information copied into a part of my soul and then separated that part into a soul copy… it could be said that it is not a true soul copy,” I said.
”Even then… although the method might have some extra steps… it is still… well, I should get used to these things happening,” said Nyzzet.
As Nyzzet muttered those words, my children were having a bit of fun by slaying the new High Ice Fairy Empress, which was now, perhaps even better than when Lazuli was inside of its body. It moved fast and it seemed to be rather strong, being of a sizable challenge for the younglings. But for the eldest children, it was no one at all, and for my wives even less.
”She is currently resting; she needs to recover her mind and soul from the slow fragmentation she was suffering,” I said.
”It must have been very boring to be a dungeon boss for so long!” said Nirah at my other side.
”Poor Lazuli-san… let's cheer her up when she wakes up!” said Vudia with a gentle and innocent smile.
”Yeah! Let us do that!” said Ailine.
”We can also show her Nereid and the other spirit girls, they're kind of like her, right?” asked Belle.
”Good idea, Belle-chan!” said Ailine.
”Yeah, Nereid-chan is also a fairy!” said Vudia.
”What about Blaze-san?” asked Nirah.
”She's also similar, so we will gather everyone!” said Belle.
The little girls were scheming a small meet up for Lazuli so she could cheer up after waking up… they were indeed very pure girls…
After this new Ice Fairy Empress was killed, the Marduk, Nammu, and Nanshe, alongside the seven harpy babies devoured it entirely… and after a few hours, a new one appeared, which was also promptly devoured by the voracious appetite of the babies.
Nyzzet helped in the rapid respawn of the bosses, and the babies even fought the other two bosses, the Ice-Cold Tyrant Ape, and the Three-Headed Ice Basilisk.
Also, it seems that you can only get system rewards once per dungeon boss floor, so even if I were to beat the Ice-Cold Tyrant Ape and the Three-Headed Ice Basilisk, I wouldn't get anything as I had acquired something in my previous visit.
Going into a dungeon exploration was a good idea for a relaxing and carefree trip while the younglings gather more skills through eating the monsters and boss monsters, I was sure that I wouldn't get anything from it as I got many already in the previous visit, so after a few minutes where we cleansed the babies, as they were drenched with blood, we continued through the stairs towards the next set of ten floors.
As this dungeon had around one hundred floors, we had reached almost the midway point, reaching floor 41, which would lead us to floor 50 where yet another boss was awaiting.
The next ten floors were like an extension of the damp and saltwater pond biomes of the previous floors before the ones that the Ice Bosses governed.
The monsters in these floors were all types of aquatic beings, there was a large variety of flying fish and sharks, which roamed around the dense and colorful forests made out of coral and seaweed.
The walls and ceilings were made out of azure bricks, which had many types of aquatic plant life growing in them, there were also many types of small aquatic animals living inside of these forests.
The ponds of saltwater were deeper than they seemed, and most of them would lead to traps where the ones that fell over would be attacked by many monsters at the same time.
The overall atmosphere was damp and foggy, with the smell of saltwater filling our nostrils, but without the refreshing feeling of the sea when we went to the coastal regions of the continent.
I grabbed a book that I once bought to lead us through some of the floors in this dungeon, and according to it, we were on a floor that we previously visited, named 'Ocean Guardian Grotto'.
Reading through the book for a second time to refresh my memory, the monsters on this floor are the Scaled Koi Warriors and Leader, Ocean Slime, Ocean Slime King, Coral Beast, Aquatic Demon Spider, Floating Shark Snake, and many other types of monsters similarly to these, such as Flying Piranhas.
