145 Ancient Scarlet Eyed Illusionist Kraken & Relentless Rock-Shattering Hell Warrior

[Day 133]

Today we decided to ascend back to the surface as we won't have enough time to explore the dungeon with the Athetosea Kingdom issue.

I have spied on the boss room and found that the boss respawned back, however, it wasn't like the one yesterday, but a young Sand Wyvern that was only five meters tall, its skin was way less sturdy-looking and it had a very playful personality. However, it looked at me fiercely the moment I entered the room.

When I decided to kill it, it didn't respawn until two hours passed, where I killed it again. Not wanting to waste more time, I collected the materials and went back to my group.

[You gained 22680000 EXP]

[You gained one level!] [LEVEL 031/250 EXP 3.027.755/110.000.000]

That was a very good EXP, even if it was a weakened version of the boss that I was able to easily kill. Perhaps the dungeon rewarded me as the boss from yesterday was becoming too strong due to killing the nearby monsters and has begun to take control of the dungeon.

This also may explain why the God of Sand and Earth rewarded me as if saying "damn, thanks for that, here, have some liquor" or something like that…

After the boss died yesterday, I've felt as if the dungeon has gained a lot of vitality and energy, some very old and decayed parts began to regenerate and the monsters became stronger and plentiful, the randomly generated treasure chest was also way more, but the traps increased too.

I saved the two young Sand Wyvern corpses on my Item Box and prepared breakfast with Rimuru for the rest of my family.

Today as some of my wives got outside of their tents, I discovered that some had slight changes.

First of all, it seems that Mady evolved for the second time. Mady evolved the first time while she was still capturing and enslaving the criminal groups on the Aquaria Kingdom.

On her first evolution, she evolved into a High Ancient Armored Kraken, which retained most of her original appearance, however it made her shell sturdier and smaller, becoming less rough and more refined, she gained some new tentacles but her facial features remained mostly the same.

Most merfolk would evolve into a "High" version of their original race without many changes as if it were just a way to break their level cap easily. Unless they are given a special blessing, they usually won't evolve into subspecies and become stuck on that High version. There are reports of some reaching their max level already and not being able to evolve, so sometimes they aren't born with the talent.

Mady is not really a strong fighter, even when she took all of the criminal organizations on the Aquaria Kingdom, that's was because they were too weak from the beginning. She specializes in deception and Illusion magic, her tricks and treachery taught her the title of "The Treacherous Kraken Witch". She also had exceptional talent in information gathering and deciphering.

Due to her help in yesterday's battle, she was rewarded with an absurd amount of EXP that quickly made her reach the max level. Although Mady had already given up on the idea of evolving a second time, as she was seeing herself fall behind my other wives, to her surprise, she evolved once again.

In the middle of the night, Mady was granted with the blessing of the God of Deception, Lies and Tricks Loki, alongside the blessing of the Demi-Goddess of Information Xaphy. Even I was taken aback over such a thing, but nonetheless, it made me happy that she has obtained new strength and ways to help me.

Even though Mady hides her happiness behind her "teasing" personality, it was clear has water that she was very happy, and she couldn't hide her smile and enthusiasm.

Due to these blessings, she evolved into an Ancient Scarlet Eyed Illusionist Kraken, a rare variant and an extinct species of Kraken merfolk that specialize on Illusions and mind control, it is said that they are close to the Mindflayer, another species of the Scylla group of merfolk.

Mady's body remained on its same stature but her proportions changed a tad bit, her humanoid body became slim and more refined, giving her new youth. Alongside this, her tentacles became slim and thinner and weren't as thick and invasive as before. Her shell also became very small, resembling a little decoration on her back, which was decorated with beautiful pink and purple colored gems alongside countless tattoos.

Her hair turned pink, while her eyes became scarlet-colored, just like the name of her species says. She had certainly gained a new beauty that was very enchanting… Almost intoxicating.

Due to evolving while being pregnant, the three children inside of her belly obtained some benefits from this evolution and may have evolved alongside her. Although I still need to confirm this hypothesis, I can confirm that they have become stronger than before and are releasing a strong magic presence.

Although Mady's new evolution is not meant to fight in the frontlines, she has still gained a substantial number of stats that have increased her power to a new level, already being more than three times stronger than before.

After her previous shell transformed into a small and refined shell filled with tattoos and gemstones, she gained a very sustainable boost in Speed and Resistance, however, her Defense was lowered in exchange for this.

Mady also gained a set of [Organic Armor] of her own, which resembled a beautiful semitransparent light pink colored blouse. It came with a small skirt of the same color that connected with her blouse through tiny golden chains, giving her a beautiful and exotic feeling. Her [Organic Armor] was actually very strong and compensated her low defenses greatly, it was even able to withstand the hits of my [Legendary] weapons until a certain point. It will most likely get stronger as she levels up.

Even though she gained this Organic Armor, I will still gift her a new set of equipment. Some more accessories to boost her magic and defenses. I will certainly give her a [Legendary Relic] that fits her whenever I obtain some.

"Good work, Mady. I will make sure to give you a [Legendary Relic] whenever I obtain something that can fit your powers"

Mady gave me a teasing smile as she blinked.

"Fufufu, there is no need for those things, with you at my side, there is plenty of fun already. I always look forward to every night at your side…"

As she said these words, she approached me and grabbed my arms, while rubbing her face to my shoulders in a lascivious way.

"Oh…"

On the other side, Lilith surprisingly obtained the [Blessing of the Demi-God of Stone and Rocks] and the [Divine Protection] of it too. This is probably because of her intense training and the awakening of her Dwarf Bloodline, which gave her several Classes and spells related to the Earth Element.

However, because her human blood is very prevalent, she can't evolve, having a level cap of 999 like every other human I've ever met.

Blessings in humans work differently than demi-humans. Demi-Humans evolve into rare variants related to the blessing, while humans retain their qualities but gain a substantial boost on their stats and gain several new skills alongside classes to compensate. To be honest, blessings still seem to be very strong on demi-humans, as it completely influences their next evolution and makes them evolve into incredibly powerful beings.

Nonetheless, humans still get a lot of compensation, alongside something that demi-humans do not get, which are called [Divine Protection]. It usually works differently with each human, but sometimes if they are fated to be important figures, these gods are very protective of their toy, just like Apollo with Evan, it can even make them intervene and curse those who dare interrupt the fate of their protected one.

Thanks to this blessing, Lilith's appearance changed a tad bit. She gained some clay-colored tattoos on her left breast and the rest of her back. Alongside this, her eyes turned from the former purple to clear brown color, with sparkles of gold. Her body was slightly strengthened and she gained some sturdy muscles on her belly. Her aura became strong and firm, just like a rock.

Lilith has changed a lot once again, she doesn't even resemble her past self from some months ago, she has grown quite fast, most probably being her demi-human blood helping to mature quickly while leveling and becoming stronger.

She obtained three new classes and told me that the blessing may also be related by her defeating the Sand Wyvern Overlord, as she remembers there were some "hidden requirements" on what she obtained, although they weren't clear, she told me that there was just a "feeling" of doing it right.

She obtained the Classes [Mythical Creature Slayer], [Relentless Rock-Shattering Hell Warrior], and [Immovable Stone Mountain Knight]. Her punches packed a very strong force and her body was as sturdy as a rock.

"You have become strong, Lilith"

While saying these words, I patted Lilith on her soft head, while smiling. She responded to me with a happy smile and her adorable brown eyes, she looked almost like a very cute puppy.

"I hope I can be of more help, Kireina"

And this about sums it up for the changes. Gaby and Adelle were quite sad because they didnt managed to evolve last night, feeling left out and even mediocre. I just couldn't keep calm while seeing their saddened expressions, so I went to comfort them. Although Adelle evolved quite recently, and Gaby missed a lot of training due to spending time with our children, which is understandable.

I promised that I would train them personally using Rydia's Super Elite Skeleton Soldiers while using various EXP buffs. With my healing abilities that can even restore Stamina and Rydia's endless summoning, it's possible to do an "endless training" where they will be able to gain EXP for several days consecutively until they hit max level and evolve.

However, this training is usually too harsh and I leave it only to those who are desperate to evolve like some of the rookies that want to catch up with their seniors.

Charlotte and Altani had gained plenty of levels and techniques alongside the same [Mythical Creature Slayer] Class, which gives special skills related to slaying [Mythical] class monsters. This classification of monsters contains those who are of ancient lineages and contain strong blood, like Wyverns, Dragons, Phoenix, Giants, etc.

My children didn't participate for the most part except for Amiphossia and Aarae, as they both helped strengthen my wives' magic or heal all of us. However, just by the shared EXP alone, they gained plenty of levels and by eating the monster meat, obtained useful and strong abilities. Aarae and Valentia may be close to their first evolution, I hope Valentia doesn't become wilder with each evolution, or I will be barely able to handle her…

When we finally reached the surface, we quickly flew towards my Kingdom, where I was greeted by my servants and the townspeople. Like usual, everyone did a festival for my return, with fireworks, music, and dance, alongside delicious food.

Geez… They don't need to do a festival every time I am back home, it was barely three days… I suppose it is a nice excuse for the restaurants to profit more, so it's fine, I guess.

Because the meat left of yesterday's boss was so much, I decided to share a fair amount to my people inside of the castle, as everyone feasted on the delicious and plump red meat of the Ancient Wyvern. Eating such a delicacy would usually cost a fortune on my Kingdom, but because it was a "special" day, I allowed them to indulge in it.

As I devoured on Wyvern's meat, I obtained some new Skills.

[You learned the following Skills]

[Ancient Mythical Beast Slayer]

[Protector of the Dungeon]

[Dungeon Energy Absorption]

These skills were rather interesting, and perhaps the reason behind the amazing power of the Sand Wyvern Overlord.

[Protector of the Dungeon] increases my stats while being inside a dungeon that belongs to me or where I was born, the stats keep increasing until they are doubled.

[Dungeon Energy Absorption] lets me absorb the energy of a dungeon that I belong while I am inside of it, I can use this energy to increase my capabilities or heal myself. That damned Wyvern probably used this skill to heal itself all the time when it was on the brink of death. And should be why when it died, a massive amount of energy was released and absorbed by the dungeon, the monster was most likely using this power to become stronger, without caring about deteriorating the dungeon.

As night fell and the festival ended, I went to sleep on my comfy bed with my wives and children. I wanted Ryo to sleep at my side but he refused…

Oh…

It seems that most of my wives are in the mood… When I made sure that Amiphossia, Valentia, and Aarae were soundly asleep, I went to have some fun with my wives in a separate room. I've been recently taking the lead more often, and they seem to like it.
