552 Fated Encounters: Nyzzets Labyrinth Conquest 14/?: Nyzzets Pas (1/2)

After the Grand Giant Blazing Drake Wolf Tyrant Overlord was butchered and eaten, another Boss spawned, which was a large and serpentine dragon with a crown of horns and the ability to inflate its throat like a frog to throw a large number of flames that covered almost the entire floor.
The monster was named Giant Blazing Wyrm Tyrant King Overlord, this monster seemed weaker than the previous Boss, but it covered a wider range with its attacks. Imagining normal human adventurers fighting this creature would only result in my mind showing them all dying by being grilled alive.
To make things interesting, the Boss changed its pattern and attacks when its Health Points reached halfway through, its red scales would turn gold, and instead of flames, it would release cannons of pressurized thunder from its mouth, dealing catastrophic damage to the room, making it tremble continuously.
It took longer than we expected, but the younglings managed to defeat it with the aid of their older siblings. Its meat was slim and flexible, and it was tender when cooked, tasting similarly to eel.
After a few hours that we spent cooking and feasting more, the third boss of this floor appeared, it seemed to be the weakest of the three. It was a quadrupedal Drake with a turtle-like red-colored shell covered in many jewels that amplified its magic capacity.
The Boss was named Giant Blazing Thunder Shell Drake Tyrant Emperor. Its attacks were slow and predictable, and it could only attack with its breath, which was not as strong as the one released by the Giant Blazing Wyrm Tyrant King Overlord.
It could hide itself into its shell and then spin at greater speeds while charging itself with electricity as a desperate measure, but this would quickly drain its Mana and Stamina and would become weakened after this rampage was done, creating many openings that my children abused to attain victory and defeat it.
The shell was rather delicious, and it possessed many precious jewels and minerals that could cost a fortune in some of the Human Societies, but for me, it was a mere aperitive. After eating these materials, I was able to replicate them through my Creation Skill.
The meat of this Boss, although it was the weakest of the three, was the most flavorful, tender, and juicy of the three. It had a grilled hint on its flavor, and when it was roasted or made into skewers, the juices created by the grease of the meat would increase its flavor even more.
It was an overall delicious meal, although I have eaten higher quality meat, they were still rather high in my mental ranking of food.

Nyzzet recently woke up from a nap that only lasted eight hours, as he glanced once again at Kireina's adventure. She had already spent a few days in his dungeon, but she seemed to not mind at all.
”Just how can she have fun inside a dungeon? She seems to enjoy the simple act of exploring a dungeon, even if the monsters inside are clearly below her current strength… though, it seems that she had slowly become a bit stronger than before… so even by devouring lowly monsters weaker than her, she can still increase her strength… she is certainly a frightful being. Phew, I am glad that I am on her side” muttered Nyzzet in between yawns.
Nyzzet scanned the dungeon with his eyes as he glanced at the last floors that Kireina had left to explore, in there, greater monsters such as Thunder Dragons, Great Thunder Wyverns, Thunder Behemoths, and Thunder Leviathans roamed freely through the strange biomes.
”The last floors increase in difficulty quite a lot compared to the previous eighty, but I suppose that it wouldn't be of any trouble for Kireina-sama… so I am worrying for nothing, I suppose” muttered Nyzzet.
As he glanced at Kireina hunting the dungeon bosses, he began to recall his memories of when he was a younger dragon.
In that time, he had been born from one of Tiamat, the Great Dragoness Goddess of Fertility and Motherhood's eggs. An egg that contained the power of the Thunder Attribute.
Although Nyzzet was born as a rather talented child between his vast amount of siblings, he never developed the intent of improving or becoming stronger or braver. He did all of it mostly because his own mother, Tiamat, order it to him.
”Nyzzet, you have to grow strong so you can keep living as you please. I do not want to force you to go to wars against other gods. But I only want your survival… I will not be there to take care of you for the rest of your life, as I am the mother of many, and I also have many responsibilities across many Realms…” said Tiamat to Nyzzet in that time, many years in the past when the Realm of Vida had just been born.
”But mother, I don't want to work hard, I just want to relax and sleep,” said Nyzzet… since he was born, despite his great talent for fighting, he was always a sloth amongst his siblings.
”Well, it is within our nature as Dragons to relax and slumber for many years to recover energy into our large and powerful physical bodies… but you have to realize that this world, despite showing a seeming peace… is still very hostile. This is why at least I want you to reach God Rank, so most of the smaller and common threats cannot touch you anymore” said Tiamat with a gentle slime, she understood her son nature and didn't want to disturb his way of living, but still desired his safety as any mother would.
