Chapter 1054: The Power of the “Hearth Protector”
When Idan accepted the offer to participate in a special Dungeon challenge, he and Arabel were forcibly teleported away.
For a mont, they were surrounded by darkness, and then they found themselves in the now familiar white starry space.
“Dan,” — Arabel called, and Idan, turning to her, saw not a silver-haired Dragoness, but a familiar beauty with long red hair and azure eyes.
Idan had already missed his wife’s true appearance.
While he was enjoying being able to see his wife’s true beauty again, she had already wrapped him in her arms.
Arabel, feeling the familiar warmth and seeing her husband in his true form, could barely contain her emotions.
Standing on tiptoe, she wanted to kiss him, but he stopped her by touching her lips with his finger and shook his head.
Then he kissed her gently on the forehead.
“Not now,” he said, and looked down.
Following his gaze, Arabel did not find the “bird” that had built a nest on his stomach.
“Are we in the bodies of avatars?” she wondered, and, feeling her own body, she doubted even more. After all, she felt sothing that she had not experienced when she was in the form of a Dragoness — the nascent life in her stomach.
“Silly,” — Idan laughed. “The dungeon has completely copied our real bodies. Unlike a bird, what you carry inside you is a part of you and .”
After giving them the opportunity to feel their real bodies again, the dungeon brought them back to empty space.
With their appearance, the empty space began to transform, and a large battle arena appeared around them.
In front of them, two familiar figures appeared from the blue light particles: a young vampire with long white hair and scarlet eyes and a silver-haired Dragoness with red eyes.
With the appearance of their avatars, Arabel was teleported to the edge of the arena, and Idan was left alone.
No matter how hard Idan looked, the vampire remained completely different from him.
“I really did a great job creating this image,” he thought proudly.
The vampire studied him with curiosity and thoughtfulness, while the Dragoness, on the contrary, opened her eyes wide, her pupils narrowed.
Watching the avatars’ reactions, Idan couldn’t help but smile.
“I guess I was right,” he told himself.
The Dragoness blinked, and her gaze shifted behind Idan, to the edge of the arena where Arabel was standing.
Upon seeing her, the dragoness’s face distorted and her eyes narrowed.
At that mont, a system notification appeared in front of Idan.
[Ding! Hostile creatures have been detected within 10 kiloters of your pregnant wife. The status of “Hearth Protector” is activated. All Host stats are temporarily doubled.]
Idan’s smile grew even wider.
This was exactly what he had hoped for, putting forward his condition and accepting the Dungeon’s offer.
“After all, I know my wife very well.”
Idan’s hair, as well as his eyes, began to glow red the mont he transford into an Alpha of Fire, and his Golden rank rose to Platinum. At the sa ti, his new stats, rather than those of the Golden Rank, doubled.

Looking at his stats, Idan felt like a cheater.
The gains were simply incredible. Previously, {Ghost Stats} could only improve one stat, but this temporary status increased all stats at once.
And that’s just one gain.
If he uses his Spirit Form and applies another boost of madness energy from above, then his characteristics will go far beyond the capabilities of a Diamond-ranked creature.
“Hmm…” Idan frowned. Just like in the Simularium, he felt like he couldn’t use his Spirit Form right now. The dungeon or the simulation itself did not allow him to activate it from the very beginning.
But he was confident that he would be able to use it during the battle.
He was sure that if the battle lasted until that mont, then its outco would be completely predetermined.
The vampire was the first to join the battle, creating spears from blood energy and attacking Idan with them. In response, Idan created fire spears.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The spears collided with a deafening crash, shaking the arena.
With the doubled advantage of stats, Idan easily deflected the vampire’s attacks.
“Now it’s my turn,” Idan instantly appeared in front of the vampire, catching him off guard. He swung his crystal sword, and at that mont, the blood, as if by its own will, began to move and at the last mont protected the vampire, preventing Idan from chopping off his head.
Arabel was stunned by Idan’s speed and lost sight of him for a mont.
From the mont Idan took action, the battle turned completely into a vampire beating.
He understood well what a vampire was capable of, and could predict his actions by barely noticing the movent of blood.
With a light swing of his sword, he cut off the vampire’s right arm.
The second blow severed his left arm.
The vampire couldn’t keep up with Idan’s movents, completely overwheld by his strength.
He glanced at his partner and saw that she was still standing in place, not moving. Having a personality copied from Idan himself, the vampire quickly realized that he shouldn’t expect help from her.
But to her surprise, the Dragoness suddenly appeared behind Idan and swung her silver sword.
Сlank.
The crystal sword easily deflected her attack.
“Ah! I’m sorry, husband,” the Dragoness said apologetically. “I can’t go against the dungeon’s orders.”
“It’s okay,” Idan shook his head with a smile, wondering at his wife’s character, that even her avatar is so loyal that she doesn’t want to attack him. “Show what you can do without holding back.”
The Dragoness bit her lip, and there were determination and bitterness in her eyes. Her silver sword flashed with a cold light, and a vortex of spatial slashes swirled around.
“If that’s what you’re asking…” she whispered, delivering a series of blows that seed like they could slice through reality itself.
Idan just chuckled. He saw her every move. With stats exceeding a thousand, the world seed to slow down for him. The Dragoness was fast for a Platinum Rank, but now she resembled a graceful but slow dancer.
He did not use the elent of fire, so as not to harm his wife’s “image” more than necessary. Instead, he used the flat side of the crystal sword.
Bam!
A strong blow sent the Dragoness flying to the edge of the arena.
