Reaching floor 64, we encountered a long passage that was surrounded by small rooms, the rooms were covered on mummified corals of various colors. The beautiful azure, pink, green, and orange of the corals contrasted heavily with the dungeon massive walls made of old-looking clay bricks. The monsters that walked around the long hall were humanoid Chiras nad Chira Fishn. Now instead of representing one species of fish, these fishn were a combination of various unrelated species, generating disgusting-looking monsters. So had the head of a long Eel but claws of a Crab, others had massive shells, tentacles, and free nacing shark heads, and others had the head of crabs and the tail of a fish, wearing a shelled armor.
After taking a whole day to rest, my family was enthusiastic about fighting and killing monsters, and my children were allowed to take on the first groups that we encountered while we explored the rooms at a fast pace. I was quite worried about the traps scattered around, but I now had a new ability that I developed using my Aura when I had all of those armors, which seed to stay permanently.
Infusing Thunder Magic on my Aura, I was able to expand it over five hundred ters, covering the entirety of the Dungeon, and while manipulating my Aura, I created powerful yet small Thunder Shocks that targeted each Trap Artifact that entered on my domain, easily blasting these Artifacts to pieces without much effort. My Sli Clones were now given the task to gather the loot in each room instead, and also the pieces of the destroyed Trap Artifacts, as I saw so value even in the small bits.
After my children took around six groups of around twenty to thirty Chira Fishn, my wives and the Fire Onis also entered the fight. The Fire Onis were having a lot of hardships as even an individual Chira Fishn could easily fight against Oga and overpower her in so things. These Fishn had amazing magic manipulation but weren't separated in classes, all Chiras had a magic affinity, being mostly Water, Earth, and the occasional Thunder, who were mostly part Eel.
The rest of my wives didn't have many hardships, even when fighting alone, they had polished their strength a lot lately, they were more than ready to take on big groups of monsters by themselves, even with the powerful Magic and Physical power of the Chira Fishn, they needed big groups to even put a fight against my wives, even against the weakest, who was Isna, they were having hardships. Isna was easily evading their attacks with her light armor while releasing powerful Spells based on Monster's Skills. She also gained so Spells from these Chiras and her Grimoire shined brightly, seemingly close to a qualitative change.
[Calculating EXP gained…]
[Kireina] gained 194.509.503 EXP (Includes EXP gave from her party mbers like Family)]
[LEVEL 042/250?EXP 650.528.822/890.000.0000 EXP]
Although I devoured around a hundred, no Skills were obtained, perhaps because I had already eaten a Chira Boss three tis. I also tried to use [Assimilation] on them, but although I assimilated a ton of their parts, nothing was obtained either.
Having looted the rooms, we found plenty of equipnt of [Mythical ] rarity, Gold, and precious gemstones or minerals. There were also different types of potions, so having strange effects like the [Crazed Plant Potion], which literally makes plants beco monsters for whatever reason.
Other potions were more beneficial, like [Subclass EXP Potions], which were very rare, I gave so to Rimuru and she quickly gained so knowledge on her Alchemist Subclass, if soone has various subclasses, it gives EXP at random between these fields, she luckily got the most EXP into [Novice Alchemist] and ended up "promoting" her Subclass into [Alchemist Scholar].
Demi-Humans or Monsters like Rimuru cannot evolve Classes or Subclasses like Humans, but we can "promote" classes, which just replace our class with a better one but it doesn't co with the amazing benefits of Class Evolution.
I was looking through the chests and found so [EXP Potions], these gave 50000 and 300000 EXP each, although I could drink them, the EXP that I need to level up it's absurd and these potions would be wasted, I just saved them for now, I could feed them to a newborn child of mine, perhaps.
We swiftly reached floor 65 through the long stairs. Stairs this ti were filled with traps as well, but I quickly destroyed all of them with my Thunder Shocks generated from my Aura. Monsters appeared in big waves but were killed easily with my Aura as well, devouring them and nourishing my Physique and Psyche.
Floor 65 was a breeze, the monsters weren't different from the previous floor and the rooms were scattered around in areas, we decided to just ignore the treasures and keep on moving. On our way towards the next floor, we found a group of ten Chira Fishn Mini-Bosses. They held quite the punch and were good practice dummies for my children, who still were developing their Auras. However, through the training yesterday, I could easily feel that Ryo and Amiphossia had increased their strength a lot, they were at least three tis as stronger than before.
Ryo also practiced with his Transformation Skill, turning into a powerful and muscular eight-ard red Ashura. He noticed that he could hold his transformation for way longer without any burdens to his body, realizing that this was most likely due to his control over his energy and Aura, as he had learned how to passively garner his Aura inside of his body, permanently increasing his physical capabilities beyond superhuman.
Amiphossia changed positions from ti to ti but used her new Magic Pool to generate stronger Spells and powerful combinations of techniques with her dual Icy Swords. She was even able to release Phantasmagoric Slashes that could freeze a whole Chira Fishn Mini-Boss of over fifteen ters tall. She also used her Aura in various ways, one of them was by adding Heavenly dicine Magic, and expanding it to heal her siblings and boost their abilities. She was very flexible and could control the whole battlefield with her capabilities.
Valentia on the other side was learning more about how to use her Dominating Aura and was now enhancing her muscles to bulge imnsely, this created qualitative change son her body, increasing her size, transforming into a Titan of over ten ters tall.
When she transford into this Titan, her [Monster Hand] also reacted to this, expanding its deep black scales through her entire arm and reaching her shoulder, it transford into a powerful Shadow Wyvern head, in the shoulder part there were its wings as well, and if Valentia could manage to transform extend to her other shoulders, she would be able to fly, even with her massive size. The Wyvern Overlord's children were way bigger than her and could easily fly without any problems. Also, as her transformation beca better, her Dominating Aura would fuse with a Shadow Aura from her arm, becoming more intense and aggressive.
While they practiced, more armies of Fishn would appear from ti to ti, which I would get rid of with my wives. When we reached floor 66, I took around two hundred Chira Fishn with my Aura alone. Although I ate most of them with my Aura, I still snacked on so with my mouth too, they were quite good if grilled, the flavors varied a lot of because of the different types of ats, but it was like eating sothing new with each Fishn due to their variety. A nice Soy Sauce would co amazingly well with them, sadly, there isn't anything similar to that in here.
[Calculating EXP gained…]
[Kireina] gained 227.192.120 EXP (Includes EXP gave from her party mbers like Family)]
[LEVEL 042/250?EXP 877.720.942/890.000.0000 EXP]
Just like floor 65, floor 66 was filled with monsters like Chiras, this ti Fishn weren't the only thing, as the monsters were just crazed beast instead of organized humanoids. The beast would charge at us whenever they felt our presence, and it was getting normal for the Chira Beast to be Giants of over ten ters tall.
Groups of around ten to twenty were common through all of the floors, but we quickly disposed of them with overwhelming strength and cooperation. My children gained the most EXP here and also learned more about their powers. Valentia seed to be on a rampage as she destroyed anything on her way, her [Monster Hand] expanded its black scales through her back and breast, reaching her belly and then her other shoulder. When this happened, she obtained another Shadow Wyvern Wing, but she didn't know how to use them.
Valentia was getting stronger but her personality also beca wilder, due to this, and with Amiphossia's help, we created a "tranquilizing mist" that cald her down. It didn't hinder her at all, but made her nature more composed, she actually thanked us for this afterward, saying that her [Monster Arm] forces her to act like a beast. Hm… I wonder how could I deal with this… Perhaps an accessory of so kind could work.
After killing the Desert-Adapted Fish Chira Beasts, another group tried to block us from going down the stairs, and suddenly various Spawn Artifacts appeared inside of small rooms surrounding us, which we ignored. However, unlike other tis I wasn't going to sit and watch how an army ca our way. In a second, I blasted the Spawn Artifacts with my Thunder Shocks using my Aura, and then fried the Chira Beasts in front of us alive, they were around thirty, not so much.
Going down through the stairs, we easily reached floor 67.
[Calculating EXP gained…]
[Kireina] gained 232.542.338 EXP (Includes EXP gave from her party mbers like Family)]
[Kireina] gained one level!]
[LEVEL 043/250?EXP 220.263.280/1.100.000.000 EXP]
Oh damn, I already need over a billion EXP?! This is getting out of hand. If it wasn't for the various EXP bonus from my blessings coupled with my buffing skills, I would never gain as much EXP as I am gaining here.
At floor 67 the Chira Beast beca very common and now were around ten to twelve ters of size, big groups of behemoths blocked our way all the ti, and so even had Thunder Immunity all out of the sudden, so I had to use sothing else than Thunder to kill them. Then I used Fire. Although I used the Thunder to destroy the Traps, I enhanced my Aura with the Fire Attribute and created powerful spirals of fire with ease.
Using my Aura to do elental attacks similar to Spells was even easier than casting spells themselves, I also had better control, as my Spells tend to be chaotic. Maybe when I learn the arts of Refined Magic like Zehe and Rimuru, I could use my Magic more majestically.
The Chira Beast ca in big groups, but were all roasted, the ones that survived, were turned into massive piles of minced at and shattered bones. The big beasts were delicious and their big bodies contained amazing quantities of at, I happily devoured many of them with both my body and Aura.
We explored so rooms with treasures and traps and then went towards floor 68 through the stairs.
On floor 68, the amount of Chira Beast increased and their forms were more horrifying and mutant-like. There was also a lot of giant eggs that contained hundreds of small Chiras inside. I detected that such eggs weren't produced naturally by the Dungeon Monsters and that at so ti in the past a Monster was born here with the capacity of laying eggs. We mostly massacred this floor with a quick showcase of magic spells. It was quite a dull floor with a straight corridor, we ignored most of the small rooms and keep descending to the next floor…
[Calculating EXP gained…]
[Kireina] gained 271.982.130 EXP (Includes EXP gave from her party mbers like Family)]
[LEVEL 043/250?EXP 492.245.410/1.100.000.000 EXP]
When we reached floor 69, we found sothing quite disturbing, but interesting. A massive fleshy being was residing there instead of the Boss, its body had hundreds of tentacles and crab claws, thousands of eyes and mouths. The fleshy Chira was sticking on the Dungeon, passively absorbing the delicious Dungeon Energy and nourishing itself while creating Chira Beasts Eggs. The Boss Floor Door was wide open as hundreds of fleshy tentacles spread through the walls, tightly engraved in the bricks.
The monster was nad [Demonic Mother of the Sea Chira]. It seed like it couldn't move at all on its own, and was just laying eggs while absorbing energy when it noticed us, it yelled in a horrible screech as she commanded hundreds of Chira Beast to kill us.
