Epic Of Caterpillar

2325 Breezing Through Dungeons

.

.

After the Griever finally perished by the power of the siblings combined, especially of the seven harpies and their spectacular showcase of might, things finally ended, and the Dungeon was over.

A huge treasure chest materialized right afterwards, which was the hidden boss treasure chest, and through my Loot Extraction abilities, I was able to produce a few more of them through the leftover essence of the that monster.

Although I didnʼt get to eat his fragment, that was fine to me anyways, as most of his essence went into these treasure chests filled with items and other potions.

”We did it mama!” Scarlet was particularly happy about it, celebrating and jumping around.

”I know, I know! Well done everyone!” I clapped my hands, celebrating. ”You all did well. Especially the harpies, I was shocked with your fusion! It has become even stronger.”

”Thatʼs right! Kaizer Ex is invincible!” they were still fused, but in their smaller form. ”Ugh, this is annoying, let me separate already! Kaizer EX is cool but I want to be myself for now. Hey, you are separating already?! Iʼm hungryyy, let me go!”

POOF!

As they started talking with several different voices out of nowhere, the rainbow harpy that created their fusion suddenly exploded into colorful smoke, leaving the seven harpies out as usual.

”Looks like you canʼt keep it up as easily as before now…” Nephiana giggled.

”Is it because theyʼve matured and developed their own personalities?” I wondered.

”Most likely,” Altani had been analyzing them so far. ”I suppose thatʼs to be expected, when they were younger they had yet to fully develop and so on… Emerald, well done.”

”I-Iʼll do better next time, mama… Sorry for not doing enough,” Emerald sighed.

”You did more than enough, my son, donʼt feel ashamed for working so hard,” her mother smiled, petting his head, and kissing his forehead.

”Did I do good too, mommy?” Fafnir asked Lilith.

”Of course you did my little boy, come to mama!” Lilith also hugged him tightly.

”As expected of my daughter, you did very well, excellent even,” Charlotte said with a prideful smile.

”And Iʼll keep striving for excellency!” Electra said, very motivated.

”Well done Alucard, you showed everyone your amazing leadership skills,” Alice congratulated our boy.

”Thank you mother!” Alucard seemed pleased.

Looks like everyone was getting their praises, good, good.

”Did I do well, mama?”

”Did we?”

And then Scarlet and Nirah moved to my side, giving me puppy eyes.

”Of course you did! Well done! Well done!”

I grabbed them two and lifted them up, hugging and kissing them.

”Are you tired or hungry? Letʼs take a break, eat, and then continue, thereʼs plenty more of those Dungeon Keys too! Letʼs grind you all to a very high level, so you evolve and get even stronger!”

”Yaaaay!”

After a break that included both resting and eating a lot of food to recover, mostly Cosmic Dishes, we moved on and continued with the day, we ended entering four more dungeons. Using the four other keys I had left. Two of them were for the Cosmic Otherworldly Dungeon and the other two were for the Ancient Vampire Dungeon.

The first were SSS Grade and the second were SS+ Grade.

”Wow this placeʼs sure hot…!” Scarlet said.

The first two dungeons were quite interesting, one was a gigantic, volcanic landscape dominated by blazing draconic monsters and fire elements,

”Yeah but the monsters do give a lot of EXP, hehe!” Nirah giggled.

And the hidden boss was a Divine Fire Dragon.

”ROOOAAARRR!”

”Careful with the flames! It can burn anything!” Alucard said.

”Woah! Is this a true cosmic dragon?! Insane!” Nirah gasped.

The second was a freezing tundra filled with snowy mountains and snowy landscapes, and even forests made of ice trees. Quite the chilly place.

”It sure is freezing here…!” complained Scarlet.

”You really dislike changes of temperature, donʼt you, big sis?” Alucard wondered.

And this dungeonʼs hidden boss was a giant Ice Titan covered with white fur, an Ice Titan Yeti.

”UNGAAAH!”

”Itʼs huge! Donʼt let it freeze you!” Aarae said.

”Let me take care of this chum!” Valentia roared.

Obviously, both bosses were hard, but they were beaten at the end. The two hidden bosses couldnʼt speak, so they didnʼt seem intelligent, but looked like ”remnants” of these two long forgotten worlds, once defeated by the kids, who kept leveling up and had already evolved once, they left behind quite a lot of interesting loot.

Lastly, we entered the Ancient Vampire Dungeons, which were both like ancient vampire castles or manors, they were filled with vampiric creatures and the bosses were ”Fallen Vampire Counts”, which were insane bloodthirsty monsters, that could barely speak.

”BLOOD! GIVE ME BLOOD!”

”Ugh, this is like an insult to my race…” Alucard groaned.

The first hidden boss was a man, constantly screaming like a madman.

”Oh, such adorable children! Please, let me drink you dry~!”

”Youʼre not getting an ounce of our blood, you bitch!” Alice hissed at her.

And the second hidden boss was, well, a woman, that kept talking about the children, creeping out Alice and making her very angry.

They were quite challenging, without any hidden bosses though, and ended being the last amounts of EXP we could get before finally finishing this long day of hunting and grinding.

The loot was plenty, but it wasnʼt all for me, I decided to distribute it amongst all the children that participated, we also fought ourselves in the last two dungeons, so I also distributed it with my wives.

As the dungeons were completed, their space would suddenly begin to be swallowed by a strange void though, so we had to escape. I had tried taking them along, but it seemed impossible, as the void was a much stronger force than my powers.

It might be a natural phenomenon, and these dungeons existence was only temporary, fragments of the past, as I imagined, of the history of a world, maybe.

Nonetheless, the strength and the levels we got out of them were all real, not only did all my children managed to level up a lot and hit level cap twice, helping them evolve TWICE again too, but my wives all evolved once too.

And with all the EXP, I also managed to get to Max Level, Level 200!

However, as I suspected, the evolution conditions were advancing to Star Eater Realm, so I was stuck at max level for now.

Well, until the next morning arrived, where the gigantic device was finally finished, and the extraction of the sunʼs mass began.

”It seems it is working properly now! Amazing!” Charlotte clapped.

”Mama, we did it!” Electra celebrated.

Using almost over half of all my cosmic treasures as fuel, and also with the ones donated by everyoneʼs cosmic world realms, the gigantic machine floating around the Sun we stole from Abyss was beginning to start.

However, it couldnʼt be done immediately, as we had to first ”clean” this sun from the creatures over it, mostly all ”wild” Recessed that didnʼt awaken as their usual selves, but as monsters instead.

”Now that the entire cosmic artifact is done, the only thing we have to do is take care of the sun itself, these Recessed are quite strong, but arenʼt as smart as the others, so they arenʼt cunning!” I said to my family. ”Iʼve helped you grow stronger and catch up a bit with me so you can help me out here, the sun is huge, so itʼll take a while… But letʼs begin!”
