Oh! Just after I collected the loot we got, I found that I got to Level 55 and I even learned a brand new Skill! Just what’s this? Fist Strike? Sounds pretty fancy! I wonder if I learned this by using my Phantasmal Limbs as fists to strike the lizards? I was doing that mostly leisurely, but I never expected it would end up turning into a damn Skill from all things! And it is a pretty good one at that. Hm, perhaps I should do something now, shouldn’t I? Oh right, we need to go down!

“Are you guys ready to go down?” I wondered.

Everyone was mostly done with resting for a few minutes. They had drank a lot of potions to recover Mana, and we were mostly all out of them by now. Additionally, Lucifer ate a lot of raw lizard meat there was left behind, as he was feeling very hungry after using his energy a lot, meanwhile, Partner drank a lot of vampire blood and even the lizard’s blood, so she’s feeling pretty energized. We still had plenty of the blood we got from the damn vampire that tried to assassinate Julia.

“Yeah, let’s get going.” Said Partner.

“I am ready…” Said Lucifer.

“Me too, I am alright now. I’ll try to use my new bow better!” Said Partner.

“Gryshi!”

“GUUUUUUUU…!”

I guess the whole party is ready. Then let’s get going, onwards to the lowest floor!

Mercury quickly decided to give us all a ride. He spread out the entirety of his body and then solidified parts of his liquid metal into seats, where we could sit over comfortably. He began moving downstairs at a rapid pace, rushing through everything down. The lizards were approaching but he just crushed them to death one after the other through his sheer size and weight.

CRAAAAASH!

We kept going down through the floors, until we began to realize that the walls and ceilings were covered in red veins and oozing miasmic and slimy substances. The chilling presence of a creature way bigger than all of us combined began to quickly emerge…

“T-This is flesh in the floor, ceiling, and walls?” Asked Lucifer. “And it all has some sort of dragon scent to it! What’s… going on in here?! What has the dungeon done with my remains?!”

“Something pretty bad I would assume… and nasty.” I said while admiring the incredible sights surrounding us. “Mercury, hurry!”

“GUUUU!”

Mercury moved down at a fast speed and then we finally reached the last floor. We were greeted by a hundred lizards, which were promptly taken down by the power of Mercury. And what lied before us was… something within the shadows. Thanks to my ability to see through darkness, I was one of the first to see what was lying in silence there, dormant… it was a monster that we had never seen before.

This thing was probably the source of the lizards, a creature that had been feeding of all the miasma that was accumulated here, and most likely the Final Boss of this Revamped Dungeon. It was quite hard to describe this creature, but it was a gigantic mass of flesh and bones, in the shape of a horrifying and mutant dragon.

Its head was made of many bone pieces and made into an empty skull without eyes… the rest of the body was covered in red flesh and spikes made of bones. The entire creature looked completely uncanny… And its size? It made most of the floor. It was… maybe over 50 meters of height? The worst part was that its own body was stuck to the dungeon’s walls, floor, and ceiling, and there were many tentacles around, all part of its body.

“T-This is… To think such an abomination would be born from the little remains I left…” Sighed Lucifer. “This damned dungeon… I’ll destroy it!”

“No you can’t destroy it, it still a source of income for the fiefdom!” I said.

“T-Then we’ll cleanse it!” He roared. Lucifer’s entire body exploded into dark smoke and flames, quickly turning into a gigantic and fierce Death Dragon.

“ROOOOAARRRR!!!”

The dragon greeted us with a loud roar, as countless tentacles immediately targeted us. It wasn’t going to do any introductions nor talk, it couldn’t. This thing was just going to try to kill us with everything it had at its disposal, and that was it!

The entire room began to tremble as more fleshy tentacles emerged, shapeshifting out of the flesh spread everywhere, with various eyes and jaws of their own, each tentacle targeted us rapidly and attempted to crush us with their weight and speed!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

We quickly evaded while I ordered Mercury to tank most of the hits. He roared loudly at my command, utilizing the [Provoke] Skill and making the tentacles attack him the most! He was a tank, so an Agro Skill was a must within his arsenal!

“GUUUUUU…!”
