185 Vol. 3 pt. 55 Patch 10.0: A Growing Crew (2/2)
”Heh. You have now witnessed my true power! You should consider yourself lucky for surviving that, mortal. Had I used my ultimate power, you would have been blasted away alongside all other life within this continent! My true ultimate unlocked power could even destroy this entire star,” Azalabulia declares.
”Sure, sure. I wonder if we've got any loot now,” Fenrir says, turning his back to her to look over the boss's remains.
”There's a chest over here,” Cassiel says, pointing at a new hole in the wall.
The party walks over to investigate it.
With tentacles and skulls all over the chest, Fenrir opens its lid and gets met with… a conflicting sight. Sure, it looks like epic loot worthy of being the reward for killing a dungeon's final boss, but it's just… weird looking as well.
One of the items is a tome with a skull on it and tentacles slithering out from its pages. Another item is what looks like a robe with skulls on its shoulders and dozens of eyes sewn into the sleeves similar to how the boss had eyes all over its body. There is also what looks to be some crafting materials based off of the boss and the dungeon's inhabitants, and then a single tentacle with an eyeball at the base of it that is wiggling around and looking up at the party.
”Wow, a mini. These are pretty rare,” Cassiel says, looking down at the wiggling tentacle.
”A mini?” Fenrir asks.
”Pets that follow you around, but they're purely cosmetic. They also stay with you even if you die or get reset. There's a low chance of getting them from bosses, and some can be crafted,” Cassiel explains.
”It's so cute!” Azalabulia says, borderline squealing as she picks the miniature tentacle up and cuddles it against her face.
”Don't you start thinking anything weird,” Cassiel whispers to Fenrir when she sees him watching her nuzzle the tentacle.
”But I don't have anywhere to put you, and I don't want you accidentally getting stepped on… aha! I know!” Azalabulia says, sticking the miniature tentacle down into her cleavage with only the tip of it poking out.
”Don't you think anything weird,” Fenrir whispers back to Cassiel.
”I'll also take this,” Azalabulia says, picking up the tome and strapping it to her side.
”I'll take this then,” Oleander says and grabs the robe, slipping it on over his current garb. It shrinks in size to fit his body as soon as it's on.
”Hey, Rao, you like crafting and all that, right?” Fenrir asks Rao.
”Yeah. Why?” Rao asks.
”Do you think it'd be possible to build a tentacle into my fishing rod?”
”I don't see why not, bro. You'd just have to find somebody good enough to do it.”
”Well, I guess I'll take this then,” Fenrir says, picking up a curled-up, lifeless tentacle and sticking it inside of his bag.
”I'll grab the rest then.”

”How're you going to carry it?”
Rao smirks. ”I've got some tricks up my sleeves, too! Just you watch, bro.” He places his hands on the chest and says, ”Portable mode.”
The chest shrinks down to the size of a peanut, allowing Rao to pick it up with ease and place it inside of one of his pockets.
Everybody but Azalabulia looks at him. She's too busy playing with the tip of the tentacle wiggling around at the top of her cleavage.
”You… can do that?” Oleander asks.
”Yeah! Building places on my own is difficult, so I had this one dude teach me how to easily move materials by myself. He taught me how to shrink chests and other containers, so anything that I can put inside of a chest, I can move it around by shrinking the chest which shrinks the stuff inside until I make the chest big again. Makes it super easy to move lots of materials at once,” Rao explains.
Oleander pulls on Fenrir's vest to lean up and whisper into his ear, ”I'm starting to think this guy might be pretty useful.”
