By increasing my sight by using [Mystic Eyes], I saw as the monster wave approached behind the walls of the city. I flew at max speed using [Illogical Propulsion Speed], resembling just a ray of light passing through the air. In a second, I appeared in front of the upcoming Monster army.

The energy in the Dungeon fluctuated heavily as it feeds the different spawn points in the remoteness. The monster appeared in high quantities almost endlessly as they clustered the floor rushing towards the city. Led by a group of around fifty Mini-Bosses, mostly being monsters from the previous floors like Giant Shark Fishmen, Coral Golems, Colossal Golden Lobsters, and even some Lesser Shark Head Crustacean Chimeras as well. The ones leading the group werenʼt just normal as they had different patterns and appearances than their fellow monsters, being rare evolutions most probably. As they noticed me, they yelled at me and increased their speed.

”Hm, such a generous offer from the Dungeon, with this we can have food for the rest of the week~!”

I quickly activated three of my armors in conjunction, [Tyrannical Wyvern of Fire and Lava Armor], [Fallen Winged Demon Armor], and [Azure Sapphire Dragon Armor] alongside enhancing them with the Thunder and Wind Attributes which Iʼve grown attached to due to their useful speed increase. Using my Aura and Orbs on my forehead and chest to put together and held the immense power suddenly generated, the three armors merged as three Sacred Beast Spirits, the Tyrannical Fire Wyvern, the Fallen Winged Demon, and the Azure Sapphire Dragon merged combined together, coiling with each other while trying to devour each other in an endless cycle.

Flash!

My appearance changed once again as my body was covered in a golden-red armor which shined brightly as a dense and thick Aura was created. I was covered in a spiky armor that had several decorations depicting fangs and incrusted with different Cores and Gemstones. My shoulders were protected by two Dragon Heads, these dragons had dinosaur-like heads with eight eyes, four in each side, alongside six demonic horns that curled to the heavens, their jaws were filled with deadly fangs and each their eyes shined in dim red light.

On my chest there was an open wide dragon head, showing inside a scarlet spherical gemstone that was drawing the energy of my Aura to boost my capabilities. I gained six-strong yet thin arms filled with small spikes, each hand had five giant metallic claws and one scarlet gemstone. I gained a massive, long, and thick metallic tail that moved around as if it had a conscience. My two fairy wings were completely merged with my Armor and Aura, transforming into long dragon-like metallic wings that released sparks of thunder and flames. A powerful atmosphere was generated, which covered my entire presence in a chaotic and eerie domain.

I havenʼt tried fusing three armors at the same time before, and I was already getting high on the amount of energy being constantly pumped to my body and mind. Time seemed to stop as the monsters saw my presence as if an evil Demon God was overlooking their pathetic lives. Some monsters stopped running and only looked, horrified. Others that did not know fear, got to know it now.

However, this wasnʼt enough, the number of monsters was too massive, so I needed an even greater destructive power. I then, took six [Legendary Weapons] from my Item Box, [Nether Sword of Undying Pain], [Thunderstorm Glimmer Odachi; Raiu], [Longsword of Unraveling Winds: Óvindandi Vindar], [Heaven Slaying Sun Piercer Claymore; Laevateinn], [Sea Guardianʼs Dragonʼs Annihilator Spear; Veles] and [Ollathir Demon Sword]. The five blades and the single spear shined in different colors as my Aura overpowered them and merged itself with them, quickly covering them in golden-red armor, changing their appearance into more demon-like blades.

I then selected the Skill [16th Winged Demon Overlord of Lust Transformation]. Another change occurred, a sudden burst of power shapeshifted my body and increased my metabolism, the sudden burst of energy merged my flesh with my armor as my body changed in the seconds, 16 different wings appeared on my back as my body grew in size, now towering over fifteen meters, I resembled a metallic titan. My head transformed in that of a furious demonic beast, with metallic fangs and tongue, my body became slimmer but colossal and the golden-red colors took a blacker dim. My Aura had changed already into something overbearing, extending over five hundred meters, it even reached half of the city, making most of the folkʼs faint unconscious.

The monsters glanced with horror as the horrifying thing just became even more horrifying. My demonic head overlooked everything as the twelve eyes I had shined in scarlet lights. I took a specific stance, raising my six arms and six weapons and activated the skill [Transcendent Battle Arts: Logic-Defying Army Annihilation Catastrophic Onslaught].

Thousands of forces suddenly appeared out of thin air as they collided with each other, the hundreds of skills that made the Skill seemed to be in a constant fight with each other, and the resulting force was completely catastrophic, a blast of wind and light appeared, over the entire monster army.

Blast!

Half a second later, an incredible force was released and devastated the thousands of monsters without any effort, the monsters were vaporized instantly, nothing was left other than a massive hole in the dungeon itself, the bricks fell and a big chunk of the floor and ceiling were destroyed, a hole to the outside of the Lower Realm suddenly showed up, but slowly was closed by the Dungeon regeneration capabilities.

I glanced at the monster left, only around eight hundred, they were scared and falling to the ground, suddenly, they began to run away, they did not even try to kill me anymore, they just ran away. The spawn points were mostly destroyed and the entire stairs that led to previous floors were vaporized as well.

I did not want to let any loose ends, so I brazed myself once more as I channeled my energy and Aura into my six giant arms, another use of my skill [Transcendent Battle Arts: Logic-Defying Army Annihilation Catastrophic Onslaught] was released, half a second later, a vaporizing force made of wind and light clashed against the entire dungeon, the entire tower trembled as it seemed to be about to fall to the Lower Realm. The monsters were received with this strong force from their backs as they ran in fear, completely vaporized, the intimidating Mini-Bosses seemed like Ants against my might, I was unparalleled.

In a try to stabilize the Dungeon for it to not fall into pieces over the Lower Realm, the God in charge of this place channeled his energy and stabilized things in time. Then, seemingly exhausted, the Dungeon stopped bothering me.

”Oh? Thatʼs it? Two attacks, thatʼs what it took on this form… Maybe some bosses can take this, but certainly not an army of weaklings”

[Calculating EXP gained…]

[Kireina] gained 674.992.125 EXP]

[Kireina] gained one level!]

[LEVEL 042/250 EXP 456.019.319/890.000.0000 EXP]

Oh? Only one level… I would have been happy if more waves came, I could have probably got another level, what a pity…

I suddenly realized that my two attacks created such a force that ended vaporizing the monsters leaving no traces left. I think I went a little bit overboard, there is anything left to eat… Oh well.

Having this done, I moved towards the area that was once being protected by the Forcefield and decided to create my own forcefield. This time I used it using my own Magic. Using different Traps as artifacts to maintain the barrier, I also infused the Traps with the Skill [Omni Elemental Spiritual Barrier Shield of Reflection] that I also filled with various [Azure Gemstone Tattoos] and merged it together with [Mystic Golden Light Arts; Unmovable Divine Force Field].

The result was a greater forcefield, way better than the last one. It shined brightly in rainbow color and it seemed to be made of a Divine Material. Whenever there was a disturbance, the forcefield would also release Azure Gemstone Castle Beasts to protect itself and fight back.

Having this task done, I moved back to the city, calling back my transformation. However, instead of disappearing, I ”devoured” my own armor with my Aura, absorbing the power and not letting it just disappear. Using this energy, I nourished my body, passively cultivating even more. When the armor was gone, I was still a fifteen meters tall Demon Woman. Using my Shapeshifting, I transformed into a formless Red Slime and then back to my original Fairy Form.

When I went back to the city most of the citizens saw me with horror and also admiration as if a new goddess appeared in the city. The majority of them worshipped me right away calling me ”The Scarlet Demoness Goddess”.

My family received me partially as some were doing their own things, I had already told them that today was a day to relax so we could continue with more energy through the dungeon tomorrow. Some of my wives like Brontes and Nesiphae wanted to join in and were disappointed after seeing how I just killed everything.

I then resumed my time with my daughter Amiphossia as if nothing happened. Amiphossia saw me with a little bit of surprise on how quickly I took everything. And then she sighed, probably thinking that she should be already used to this.

”Anyways mommy, Iʼve seen you talking a lot with Aarae and Ailine about something related to cultivation? What is that about? I saw Aarae doing it the other day, he was using his Magic to slowly nourish his body and soul… It was even mystical, could I do something similar?”

”Oh! That, Iʼm surprised that you arenʼt aware of that, didnʼt you take classes with Zehe for magic?”

”Yeah, but I only got to know the basics and then moved on to my Medicine studies… Perhaps I should have stayed more with aunt Zeheʼs teachings? Sorry…”

”Oh, if it was for medicine that you dropped her classes, then itʼs fine, you needed to learn that to make your Healing Magic stronger”

The reason why Amiphossia needed to learn Medicine in various ways was that her Heavenly Medicine Magic is different than normal Healing Magic. In paper, Heavenly Medicine Magic could be seen weaker than conventional Healing Magic, but this changes as the user learn more about Medicine and increase their innate understanding of the field.

Master Medics would be able to use Heavenly Medicine Magic to heal a whole nation or an army of one thousand soldiers. Although Amiphossia is far from there, she has been steadily studying Medicine to increase her innate understanding of it.

As I taught Amiphossia how to channel her magic to nourish her body and soul, I discovered that she had her own Aura as well. Although not fully developed, her Aura was a combination of Phantasmal Magic and Poison Magic, although there were hints of Heavenly Medicine Magic as well. After Amiphossia realized this, I taught her how to slowly feel the presence of her Aura and to manipulate it. She was indeed very talented, and just like Valentia, she figured it out very quickly.

The existence of an Aura would make cultivating with magic even easier for Amiphossia. After some hours we discovered that she could enhance her Aura with Heavenly Medicine Magic and create a healing Aura, unlike the usual use of Auras, which was to enhance a bodyʼs power, create pressure, intimidation or deal status effects, she could heal wounds, make people feel relaxed and even boost their stats. Due to this, Amiphossia had two different types of Aura, her Phantasmal Poison Aura, and her Heavenly Medicine Aura. This girl was really full of surprises.

After some hours, Amiphossia managed to nourish her body and soul with both of her Auras at the same time, infusing three elements into her body, which would be impossible if she wasnʼt already blessed by them and naturally had high conductivity of these elements. One hour after starting her meditation Amiphossia raised her Soul to Rank 3 without any need to consume souls at all. And two hours after her meditation she evolved her Flesh and Bones, this provoked a forced evolution into her Skill representing these fields, it was something similar to when I fuse skills, but without any fusion needed. I saw this as something that only my talented children could reach in such a short amount of time.

Afterward, Amiphossia kept meditating as I left her in a separate room on her own, while being accompanied by her Phantasmal Wolf. This Wolf seemed to have some understanding of what Amiphossia was doing, as it helped her ”cultivate” sharing its phantasmagoric essence with her.

I then decided to meet with my evasive boy, Ryo, I also wanted to know his capabilities now that he has grown more, and see how he could improve with my help.
