"Ah! It was a Boss?" asked Nesiphae.

"Well, that was cheap easy" confidently said Zehe.

"Indeed, guu" said Rimuru, beginning to snack on the Boss.

I was also surprised that it was a Boss, as it died too easily. My wives didn't even need the support of the rest of my family, my children only watched the spectacle.

As Nesiphae and Rimuru butchered the monster, Zehe and my children began to analyze things.

"If it was a Boss, why wasn't it in a Boss room?" I asked.

"Could it be that those guys lured it out?" wondered Zehe.

"No, I don't think so, or at least, they didn't seem to do it intentionally" added Amiphossia.

"Didn't you see them? All of them were sweating and tired as if they had run a marathon" said Ryo, bringing an important point.

"Wait, does it mean that the Boss was wondering outside of its room? Seeing how things are here, it's just a very long corridor… I can see some rooms, but some of the walls are wide open and haven't regenerated" I said.

"Could this dungeon be in even worse conditions than the Forsaken Labyrinth?" asked Aarae.

"Perhaps, because it's from a Demi-God and not a God, it can't regenerate some parts without spending too much Divine Energy…" I answered.

"What's Divine Energy?" asked Vudia, flying around me.

"It's the power of the gods, my love"

"Ooh, so Morpheus-kun is weak," she said, nodding.

"P-Please, Vudia-sama, d-don't say such things of our founder god???" said Sofarpia, disappointed on the real strength of her ancestor.

"It is quite depressing…" added Sofelaia.

"Is it? Hmm, well, Sofarpia and Sofelaia-chan could be better goddess than Morpheus-kun!" said Vudia, implying that the twins should replace Morpheus on his place as a god…

A conversation like this continued for a few more minutes until we finally had each piece of the Lion packed in our Item Boxes, afterwards, we finally continued through.

I decided to use [Automatic Dungeon Mapping] right away, as the entire structure of the dungeon was revealed to me, even telling me which areas were broken, there was a large room several floors below where a giant boss was sleeping, it was the same lion that we just killed, it seemed to have respawned quite fast.

I used [Dungeon Area Assimilation] to assimilate a large area of the dungeon, becoming like my own limbs, I was able to open closed and sealed room, revealing monsters and treasures.

The monsters on the first ten floors were colorful giant animals, from Giant Rainbow Birds, Shining Sun Tigers, Vitality Golden Snakes, and more. All of them were related to the Light and Life Attribute, with some variations to the Fire Attribute.

The birds ran towards us with fast speed, but Amiphossia came in front and released her giant army of ghosts and phantoms, led by Seishin, Sesshomaru, and Geraldine, they massacred the birds without us having to do any work, only having to enjoy their delicious meat afterward.

Ghosts and Undead seemed to have a natural hatred against Life and Light Attribute monsters, so they acted more fiercely, especially Geraldine, who roared like a wild cat, slashing, burning, and freezing the large birds in her way.

As I opened more and more rooms to make our way easier without having to go around the labyrinth of corridors, we reached the Boss room on the tenth floor.

The Lion that was resting opened its golden eyes, however instead of being fierce, he seemed frightened.

"G-GAO?!"

Perhaps he thought that the previous fight was just some kind of nightmare? Well, it wasn't.

"Hey, we see each other again…! Please, give us your delicious flesh"

"GAAAOOOO…!"

[Kireina] and her [Party] gained 1.550.000.000 EXP!]

[Kireina] obtained the item(s) [Ancient Reward Loot Box (A)] x1]

After my children had their fun on the Lion until it couldn't move anymore, we quickly butchered it with the help of Nesiphae, Nixephine, and my Slime Clones.

Afterward, it was finally time to have some snacks, I created several fires with my Pirokinesis Skill and began to roast and grill the pieces of the different monsters we had hunted. All of their meat was juicy and tender, melting in one's mouth like butter!

"So this is the delicious food that our ancestors used to eat when they came to hunt in this dungeon!" exclaimed Sofarpia, surprised by the tenderness and flavor of the Lion and Birds meat.

"To think that our lack of diligence has prohibited us from eating such things for years… if we had continued training hard through generations, perhaps hunger would have never been a problem in Cilane…" said Sofelaia, munching on a large Great Rainbow Bird leg, which was roasted and then covered in soy sauce-like sauce.

Finally calming the hunger of me and my child inside of my womb, we continued through the next rooms…

[Kireina] learned the following Skills]

[Shining Life Beam]

[Healing Life Aura]

[Claws of the Life Lion King; Heaven's Onslaught]

The next floor, the floor eleventh was filled with wild plant life, unlike the first floor that was almost completely frozen, this place had a nice temperature and the monsters roaming the place seemed to have an affinity with Nature Attribute alongside Life Attribute.

There were Savage Amazoness Dryads, a wild type of Dryads who hunted for food and wielded weapons made of the Dungeon's bricks, their intelligence was nothing compared to the surface's Dryads, however they had superior physical strength and masterful control of magic.

There were Warrior Amazon Dryads, Druid Amazon Dryads, and the Chief Amazon Dryad, a beauty to behold, however, even though she commanded the rest, she was just as stupid and lacked a lot of common sense and advanced thoughts.

We overwhelmed their hideout with Amiphossia's army, Vudia's golems, and Aarae's Shark Familiars, taking them by surprise by me opening a large gap in the wall that protected inside a large room.

Inside the next couple of floors, there was vegetation similar to jungles, and other types of mutated carnivorous Dryads, in the form of carnivorous plants, of course. There were Tentacle Dryads, made out of countless sticky tentacle plants, they devoured their prey with the corrosive juices they released.

There was also Venus Trap Dryads, opening their large flowers in the form of jaws to eat unaware prey that came to feed on the sweet nectar that they produced. All of them were delicious, and I couldn't help but imagine if I could boil them or pickle them.

This floor boss was named Life Queen's of the Jungle, a giant dryad that had every type of dryad powers or abilities that we saw earlier, large Venus Trap arms, Tentacles and it also used weapons made out of minerals and hardened wood. Her body seemed like an amalgamation of plants that exuded strong vitality.

It seemed almost immortal as it kept regenerating itself even after losing its head, however this changed when Kaguya and Geraldine jumped in, using their powerful flame attacks, incinerating the being into ashes… Thankfully, a lot of its pieces that were cut off were scattered in the room.

Kaguya rushed towards me, seeking my attention.

"Master, did you see? Did you see?" she said, as her squirrel tails moved around, expecting a prize.

"I did, Kaguya, good work…" I said, as I began to pat her silky hair and caress her furry squirrel ears and fluffy tails, I was caught in the fluffiness and spent some time spoiling her.

Meanwhile, Geraldine received the spoiling of Amiphossia, being patted and caressed in the same fashion.

"There, there… you did good, Geraldine-chan~"

"Aah~ Amiphossia-sama, pat me more~"

Seishin and Sesshomaru glanced at Geraldine with envious expressions on their canine faces.

"Grr…"

"Grrr…"

[Kireina] learned the following Skills]

[Vitality-Draining Vine Tentacles]

[Jaws of the Carnivorous Plants]

Reaching floor 21st, a change in the scenery suddenly happened, there were now large pools of water everywhere, each living animal inside exuded vitality and energy. Confirming the third biome inside this 'medium' sized dungeon.

It seems that the Life Attribute was always coupled with other Attributes that always brought life, like Nature and Water, and perhaps the next couple fo rooms will showcase other types of biomes were different types of lifeforms can call home.

"Impressive… there was already a large Jungle filled with plant life before, and now these are large planes filled with pools and lakes, exuding with aquatic monsters and animals…" analyzed Sofarpia.

"Indeed… perhaps Morpheus-sama thought about the variety of food and materials that we could harvest from here, giving different types of biomes to suit all our needs… the first ten floors were filled with big land animals, the other ten with jungles and plants and these third teens will be filled with aquatic life forms such as seaweed, fishes, mollusks, and crustaceans" added Sofelaia, with a smart look in her face.

Zehe joined the conversation.

"You two are right, perhaps it was within your founder god to provide with several and varied types of resources, with the limited space and power that he had, he decided to just drastically change the biomes instead of creating large challenges, as this place was not made for it to be a trial but to provide nourishment to its children," she said.

Unlike the Forsaken Labyrinth, we haven't found a single trap in the Dungeon, and aside from the large corridors form time to time, there were very big open spaces… although it may also be related due to it malfunctioning, perhaps its not capable of creating traps properly anymore.

"The Forsaken Labyrinth was a very hostile dungeon, and unlike this one, it had deadly traps at every step… in here, aside from the strong monsters, it is quite the nice place to have a picnic," said Nesiphae, as she began to slash a group of giant Crabs.

"Aside from the first ten floors, there is even an artificial sun, sky and clouds, guu" said Rimuru, as she destroyed a large group of Giant Scaled Walking Fishes into a meat paste.

"And the breeze is nice, there are even small forests here and there, we could even make a village," said Lilith, remembering that she was once a village girl while smashing to death a large octopus.

"Yeah, when we conquer this place, I will make some changes inside, creating a large village or even a city is such a wide area wouldn't be impossible, it could even be a nice place to enjoy some quick vacations," I said, as I released my Aura in the form of dozens of solidified needles, impaling the large flying sharks that came towards us.

"Well… it would be easy for us as we can kill these deadly monsters as if they were flies…" said Amiphossia, as she commanded her ghosts to annihilate a small pool filled with ugly-looking fishes that had begun to shot Water Bullets towards us. contemporary romance

Indeed, the place was very peaceful.
