355 Morpheuss Life-Attribute Dungeon Conquest 1/?: A Small Trip Through Cilane & A Giant Lion! (2/2)
The Explorers party, consisting of five people, a Yuki-onna wearing mage attires, a small goblin wearing thief clothes, a troll wearing armor, a Fire Salamander wearing fighter clothes, and a Oni-type Chaos Human woman wearing cleric clothes kneeled on the ice of the floor.
”C-Calm down… you don't have to be frightened of me, my citizens… Hm? Aren't you…?”
The Yuki-Onna, the Goblin, and the Troll had familiar faces… now that I think about it, they are the same guards I once met in the outside Wall of my Empire…
”Oh, you three are Explorers as well?”
The trio froze, and then slowly stood up.
”To think that the Empress recognizes us?” said the Goblin.
”How blissful…” said the Yuki-Onna, putting her hands in a praying position.
”T-Thanks for the lunch of that day, Empress-sama” nodded the troll, with a thankful and humble tone.
”Don't worry about it! So, why are you here? This place is dangerous, I was about to conquer it”
The trio then glanced at each other, the Fire Salamander boy and the Chaos Human girl began to ask questions.
”You guys know the Empress-sama!?” asked the Salamander boy, bewildered.
”Incredible, expected from our senpais!” praised the Oni-type Chaos Human girl, with a happy smile in her beautiful red-skinned face.
”Yeah…and about us being explorers, you see, Empress-sama…” (Goblin)
”We wanted to taste delicious monsters!” (Yuki-Onna)
”That time… when you shared that Dragon meat with us…” (Troll)
”It awakened something within us!” (Yuki-Onna)
”Greed!” (Goblin)
”Desire to grow stronger so we can eat more delicious monsters!” (Troll)
”I-I see… I would recommend you guys to go back to the city, for now, this Dungeon is a high-level dungeon that I haven't taken for myself yet, so it's not as monitored and you may end up dying…”
The trio seemed understanding.
”We understand”
”Please, have a nice exploration with your family, Empress-sama!”
”The best of lucks!”
And the three then carried away the dumbfounded Salamander and Chaos Human away. Although they seemed to be running away than anything else.
”O-Okay… bye!”
My children glanced at me with smiles, some were chuckling.
”Haha, mommy you scared them!” said Vudia.
”What?”
”You did, your Aura… it's being constantly released…” said Ailine, containing her chuckles.
”That's right, that's right…” said Ryo, giving the explorers a bitter smile.
”Mom, try to maintain your Aura inside of your body if possible…” said Amiphossia, seemingly reprimanding her own mother.
”O-Okay, I see… I just instinctively coat myself in it and all of you as well… I will try to be more sociable and contain it within my body…”
And with this small scene, we entered the Life-Attribute Dungeon, and the first thing that greeted us was a large, fifty meters tall golden lion, which was incredibly enraged and covered in daggers, arrows, and swords, red blood dripping from its small wounds…
”Were those guys fighting this thing…? oh, I see why they ran away, aside from my intimidating Aura, they feared me reprimanding them for leaving an angered monster to greet us…”
”Growl!”
The giant Golden Lion, who was mildly wounded roared, as its footsteps made the floor tremble, its shiny mane released sparks of light and its Aura was strong and filled with vitality.
”Is this a Life-Attribute Monster, guu?” asked Rimuru, as she calmly admired the enraged Lion, who launched itself towards us.
”It does have something different than other monsters and beasts we have fought before…” analyzed Zehe.
”Oh, I wonder how it tastes, with such high vitality… Dark's Death Vertical Slice!” wondered Nesiphae, as she jumped into action, raising her large Battle-Axe and releasing an Axe Technique.
SLASH!
”GROWL… GEEEEH…!”
Nesiphae's Battle-Axe sliced through the hard fur, skin, and flesh of the Lion, however, it was stopped by its strong bones, however the Lion roared in pain, releasing a voice unfit of a Lion…
The Lion roared, opening its mouth wide, suddenly, a bright yellow light surged from within, releasing a powerful beam of what seemed to be Light and Life Attribute towards Nesiphae.
”Little Lion, you shouldn't resist~! Armor! Venomous Guard!” said Nesiphae, protecting all of us from the large beam as she covered herself in a powerful dark armor made out of metallic scales, then she released an Armor technique, increased her defenses with a Poison Attribute barrier.
FLASH!
The beam was completely blocked by her as the light dissipated, the Lion tried to go around the large Nesiphae, aiming towards Rimuru.
”Oh? Rimuru, it's yours!”
”Guuu! Come here, little Lion!” said Rimuru, as she raised her two swords, her Rainbow Sword and her Wind Sword, releasing a series of Mana Blade Techniques combined with her magic, showcasing hundreds of slashes of all colors.
The Lion did not possess any kind of defensive method and was greeted by Rimuru's attacks, the slashes penetrated her flesh, snout, eyes, and skin like butter, leaving traces of magic within his flesh, stopping its amazing regeneration for some seconds.
”GROOWL…!”
And then, as the Lion released its own Claws techniques to defend itself, a new threat appeared from behind it.
Zehe teleported herself through a small Black Hole and appeared floating behind the Lion, without it even realizing, countless Shadows Tentacles began to attack the lion's back. Zehe was able to use her physical techniques not only with her own body but with the tentacles that she created through magic.
The Lion was bathed on its own scarlet red blood, and Nesiphae rushed for the finishing move.
”Venomous Executer!” she said, activating another Battle-Axe technique, raising her Battle-Axe towards the lion's torso, slicing it in half.
CLASH!
Now not even the lion's sturdy bones could save it, its innards leaked out as the two halves struggled to move, he Lion's face, all disfigured because of Rimuru's onslaught, releasing its last roars of pain after closing its eyes. Its large soul popped out but was quickly absorbed by the Dungeon.
