Chapter 34: Bloody Sacrifice Dungeon

Epic of Caterpillar

As we crossed the Crimson Blood Forest, an eerie feeling started to exude from this forest underground, and a rooting smell could be felt everywhere around.

Wagyu was concerned about this eerie feeling.

"Master… I smell something dangerous… It's on the underground…"

"Hmm… I also feel it, but how can we access the underground? We can't just dig the entire forest right…? Hmm"

"Y-You want to go?!"

"Of course! Hmm? I can feel it from the east… Let's go everyone!"

While we approached further and further to this strange and deadly aura, we came across more and more Blood Monsters, however they were way bigger and stronger this time.

A gigantic Blood Beast with the skull of a bear came rushing to us, opening its gaping and ugly mouth.

"Screeeeeechhh!"

As it opened its mouth, countless red and bloody tentacles started to sprout from it, it probably uses these to consume its prey with ease while its still alive and struggling inside its mouth.

Nesiphae came rushing at an incredible speed, and raised her massive axe, performing a powerful vertical slice.

SLASH!

"Screeeech!"

The slash took the Blood Monster right through its head and back, splitting it in two in just a second!

SPLAT!

The big Blood Monster two halves fell to the ground motionless.

"Thanks, Nesi"

"Hehehe! Its nothing! It is my duty as your wife!"

Suddenly, the two halves of the sliced Blood Monster started to move.

"It's regenerating?"

"That's new, the smallest ones weren't able to regenerate"

The two slices of the Blood Monster started to regenerate themselves, slowly forming two new Blood Monsters!

"Hmmph, maybe they just need to be roasted alive…"

I swiftly casted a strong fire spell that engulfed the two Blood Monster in a strong flame, roasting it alive. While the monsters were roasted alive, they cried in pain.

"Screeeeeechhh!"

When the flames completely roasted the two monsters, they finally give up and died on the spot.

| YOU GAINED ONE LEVEL! | | LEVEL 34/50 EXP 04478‬/28000 |

"Oooh! It smells good! Can we eat it, Master?"

"Its true, it smells quite good when roasted. Sure, let's eat it"

"Nice!"

Zehe and Rimuru took out some more food they had on their Item Box alongside Beer, and we had a big beast over these two big roasted Blood Monsters.

When roasted, their meat would become extremely juicy, this juice contained the flavors of countless monsters, making this meat flavor extremely unique.

Nesipha had a great appetite, eating the whole Blood Beast head using the bear skull has a plate.

"Hmmm! Munch, munch. This meat is the besht! Hmm!"

Zehe brought a set of dishes and with my help we cut the meat in nice slices, and we accompanied them with pickled forest veggies and beer.

| ROASTED BLOOD BEAST MEAT SLICES WITH PICKLED FOREST VEGGIES: An improvised but delicious preparation made in the middle of the Crimson Blood Forest. The roasted Blood Monster meat is extremely juicy and flavorful, accompanied with carefully pickled forest veggies to give it a nice balance between salty and sour. Goes well with beer. |

| Effect: Grants +5 to Strength and Defense|

| Heals 50 MP and 70 Stamina |

Rimuru ate countless pieces at the same time, being a Slime, it can digest food extremely quickly.

"Nom, nom. Hmm… More!"

"H-Hey Rimuru! Stop eating everything, you won't leave anything for us!"

Rimuru only laughed at me.

"Hehehe… If you are going to eat more… Hurry up… Nom"

"Ghh! We will see about that! Nom, nom, nom!"

Zehe, Wagyu and Kekensha watched as I competed with Rimuru for who ate more.

"H-Honey…"

"Amazing, Master! Couldn't expect less! She has a great appetite!"

"Indeed!"

| YOU AND YOUR SERVANTS LEARNED THE FOLLOWING SKILLS: |

| BLOOD MONSTER KING BODY DIVISION |

When we finished our improvised meal, we continued our journey through this forest.

While we approached further to the eerie aura, more Blood Monster King got in our way.

"Screeeeech!"

"Screeeeeeech!"

"More?"

Four Blood Monster Kings came rushing and surrounded us.

A Blood Monster with the skull of an Alligator opened its large mouth and tried to chomp Zehe right on the spot!

However, Zehe intercepted it with a powerful shadow spell.

"Screeech!"

Suddenly, a big black hole appeared in the ground, sucking the big Blood Beast in.

"Screeeeeeeechhh!"

The black hole slowly drowned the Blood Beast in place while it cried for help. The other Blood Beast looked with fear as their companion died in agony.

Seeing the strength of these enemies, the Blood Beast decided to run away and save their lives!

"You are not running anywhere! Gate of Bjarmia: Hades Armory!"

FLASH!

Suddenly, countless flaming weapon shaped magic projectiles started to rain over the big Blood Beasts, slicing and roasting them alive!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Screeeech!"

"Screeee!"

As much as they tried to run away, the Blood Beast were sliced and roasted alive, and when trying to duplicate and escape, their burning flesh wouldn't let them do it properly.

| YOU GAINED 44560 EXP | | THE REST OF YOUR PARTY GAINED 22280 EXP |

| YOU GAINED ONE LEVEL! | | LEVEL 35/50 EXP 21038‬/29000 |

"These big ones deliver very good EXP!"

However, after this fight, no more Blood Beast Kings attacked us, although I felt as some were observing us, they ran away the moment I glanced at them.

"Sigh… Oh? We are here!"

When we finally reached the origin of this eerie aura, we found a massive blood colored cave, this cave entrance was shaped like a gapping mouth, full of grotesque fangs.

Suddenly, a system message appeared out of thin air.

Ding!

| LOWER DUNGEON FOUND |

"D-DUNGEON?!"

| BLOODY SACRIFICE DUNGEON: An old temple used in ancient times to make sacrifices to the Blood Demi-Gods by the Merman race. Now abandoned, the countless souls of the sacrificed beings wander this place and possess nearby monsters. A rewarding price awaits the one who beats the dungeon boss |

| DANGER LEVEL: HIGH EMPEROR |

"Ooh! So those Blood Monsters are actually from this place? Also, Mermans? As half fish and men?! Here?"

Although my curiosity over seeing would the mermaids of this world look like. We decided to first explore the dungeon.

Wagyu and Kekensha were surprised by this place.

"Impressive, this dungeon is immense, and the cave keeps going down…"

"Hmm… However, this eerie feeling, it doesn't let me relax…"

Nesiphae laughed.

"Hahaha! I can't wait to fight the boss of this dungeon! I wonder how strong it is?! Will we have a life and death fight? I can't contain my excitement!"

Even Zehe was a little thrilled by her new adventure.

"Hmm… Even though this place is quite scary… I wonder what price awaits us?"

I told my servants to stay together while exploring this cave, and as we went further down below, the deadly aura became thicker and thicker.

After going down caves for some time, we found a big door, it was made with a red colored material, and had multiple markings and drawings, depicting the blood sacrifice rituals.

In these paintings, a group of mermen were sacrificing a young mermaid, taking her heart out and offering it to the heavens. Afterwards, they would burn the heart while it was still beating.

"This ritual is very crude, what is the purpose of this? Good to know that this place abandoned, I assume that they already stopped doing such things"

Asking Nesiphae for help, she gladly opened the massive door with her powerful strength.

CLACK!

"Eh?"

"It's dark…"

The room the door was protecting was completely dark.

"There isn't anything here… Ah!"

BOOOOM!

Suddenly, a giant bloody hand almost squished Zehe.

Thankfully, I was able to move her away with my threads.

"H-Honey? W-What is that?! It's so big!"

In front of us, a massive Blood Monster started to move its body, unlike the previous ones, this Blood Monster seemed to have a deformed body, having multiple mutated limbs and heads.

"Screeeeeechh!"

The Blood Monster seemed to have been dormant for too long, as its movements were quite dull.

CLASH!

"EH?!"

"Master, the door! Its closed!"

Ding!

| YOU HAVE ENTERED A GUARDIAN ROOM, DEFEAT THE GUARDIAN THROUGH THE DUNGEON |

"This is unfair! We are trapped with this beast?"

The Blood Monster noticed how the door closed and completely stood up.

"Gggrr…"

One of its head, decorated with a Wyvern Skull started to spit a potent blue fire.

Kekensha quickly reacted to this and created a strong light magic dome to protect us.

FLASH!

"Master! This monster is at least of Emperor level!"

"Is this the boss already?"

"It isn't, the system message told me that we were just fighting one of the guardians…"

The Blood Monster noticed the protection magic and jumped over the light dome, slapping and slashing it with its countless mutated limbs!

BOOM! BOOM! SLASH!

The light dome slowly started to shatter!

"Screeeechh!!!"

"Should I get a little bit serious?"

Zehe and Nesiphae stopped me.

"Wait, Master! Let us do it!"

"Yes! We want to show off our strength! We can take on an Emperor!"

"Oh? Sigh… Okay, do your best!"

The Blood Monster hit the light dome with its powerful claws, until it completely shattered!

CLASH!

"Screeeeechh!!"

"Now!"

"Yes!"

Suddenly, in a matter of seconds, Zehe and Nesiphae flashed out of my sight, appearing behind the Blood Monster!

"Ggrraah?!"

While on the air, Nesiphae used a myriad of buffing skills, increasing her power and size, causing her muscles to bulge and increase in mass. A strong deadly aura started to exude from her armored body!

Nesiphae raised her arms on the air, and using countless of spells over her axe, the axe also grew in size and became covered in multiple colors!

"VERTICAL SLASH!"

SLASH!

The Blood Monster big size made it have a slow reaction time, taking the blow completely!

BOOOOOOOM!

The strong vertical slash hit the monster right into its back, pushing it down the ground several meters! Completely breaking the room floor.

"Grrryyyyaahhhh!!!!"

Zehe who levitated by Nesiphae side, already finished casting a strong spell, and countless magic rings surrounded her body.

"Advanced Shadow Manipulation Magic: Black Hole"

FLUOSH!

While the Blood Monster was still recovering from the strong slash, a powerful shadow slowly engulfed its limbs.

"Grrah?! Grryaaaahhh!!!"

When the shadow engulfed the Blood Monster limbs, they were completely triturated inside, causing incredible pain to the beast.

"GRYAAAHHH!!"

The beast struggled and started to spit blue fire everywhere, while its other heads casted other types of spells, throwing Ice Pears and Thunder Shocks!

BOOOM! BOOOM!

CLASH! CLASH!

Suddenly, one of the Monster heads who was decorated with a bird skull casted a strong light flash, which quickly dissipated the shadow engulfing its limbs.

FLASH!

A head decorated with a deer skull casted countless healing spells, completely regenerating the lost limbs in seconds. Then, the monster jumped right back to action, charging towards Nesiphae!

"Hmmph! How about some binding? Medusa Snakes!"

Nesiphae raised her hand and casted a strange spell, summoning thousands of long snakes, they were completely made of a purple colored magic, and moved at increasing speed.

Flash! Flash! Flash!

The snakes quickly wrapped the monster limbs and stopped its movements.

"Ggrrahhh?!!"

"Magical Detonation!"

BOOOOOM!

The countless snakes wrapping the monster limbs started to detonate themselves, causing severe wounds, and some even completely destroying the limbs after the explosion.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

The monster yelled in pain, but its Bird and Deer head quickly started to cast healing and protection spells. While the wyvern head casted fire meteors, making Nesiphae retreat.

"I got your back, Nesiphae! Ice and Thunder Catastrophe!"

A strong storm appeared out of thin air, consisted of deep black clouds, these clouds quickly flew around the monster and started to rain it with Thunder Shocks and big Ice Spears!

BOOOM! CLASH! BOOOM!

The powerful Thunder Shocks roasted the beast flesh, causing strong burns and even paralysis in some areas of its body. While the Ice Spears stabbed the monster deeply on its flesh, freezing its body on place.

"Gggrraaahhhh?! Grryyyaaaaaahhh!"

"Well done, Zehe!"

"Nesiphae, quick! Use your snakes to detonate around the frozen areas"

"Yes!"

Nesiphae commanded the snakes to wrap around the monster frozen wounds and then detonate!

BOOM! BOOM!

The explosions shattered the frozen wounds, taking big chunks of frozen meat from the beast, quickly reducing its size.

The Bird and Deer heads could not keep up with the amounts of wounds, quickly diminishing the monster performance.

Zehe and Nesiphae were able to easily avoid most attacks in time, making the monster magic onslaught a complete waste of energy.

As the monster Stamina and MP quickly exhausted itself, Zehe and Nesiphae saw this opportunity for a finishing blow!

Nesiphae raised her hand and summoned countless snakes again, however, this time the snakes covered her massive axe, increasing its size even more, and fortifying its endurance and strength!

FLUOSH!

Suddenly, Nesiphae axe had three times her actual size, becoming absurdly massive!

Nesiphae used all her strength moving the axe, showing her beautiful and bulging muscles.

"Nnnnggghhhh!! Now, Zehe!"

"Yes! Advanced Fusion Magic: Multi-Elemental Shadow Meteor!"

Boooooooomm!

A gigantic shadow sphere appeared over Zehe head, it was covered in countless elements, and its flames were multi colored.

"Go!"

Zehe commanded the massive Shadow Meteor to move directly towards the struggling Blood Monster!

FLUOSH!

At the same time, Nesiphae moved the massive axe, thrusting it down, doing a massive Vertical Slash!

"Ggggryyaahh!!"

BOOM!

The axe vertical slash went through the entire monster body, slicing it in half!

"Ggrrrraahh!"

The monster tried its best to regenerate, however, the Shadow Meteor came just in time, hitting it right on its sliced body.

BOOOOM!

"Grrryyyaahh!"

The Shadow Meteor caused an impressive multi colored explosion, blowing the monster into pieces all across the room.

Rimuru watched this whole fight with enthusiasm, while jumping with her slimy body.

"Mastaaa! They did it! They did it! Lady Zehe and Nesiphae are so cool! Eeh?"

"Phew… They did really well, I got worried at first when I saw the monster having multiple spells, but this monster used them very badly. These types of monsters have a very low intelligence"

"Yaaay! We did it Zehe!"

"Yes… That monster had an incredible variety of spells, it was close… Your combination between the snakes and your axe was wonderful, Nesiphae. I was surprised that you were able to lift such massive weapon"

"Hehehe… I'm strong after all! You also did amazing, Zehe. Your magic was very elaborated! It was in pair with Master magic!"

"Aaah? Hahaha, thanks, but I don't think I can compare to Honey magic yet…"

I went with Rimuru, Kekensha and Wagyu to congratulate the girls on their kill, and then we collected the big chunks of roasted or frozen meat from the monster, and we had a little lunch break in the middle of the room.

We ate not so long ago but we still ate this monster meat as it would grant us new skills, for the sole exception of Nesiphae, who uses big amounts of Stamina to her attacks, and to maintain her big body with sufficient energy.

Nesiphae munched on the roasted meat, stuffing her cheeks with meat.

"Munch, munch. Hmm! This meat is even more flavorful, Master!"

Gulp.

Nesiphae gulped all the meat she had stuffed inside her mouth and then grabbed a big piece of the bones of the monster.

Crunch, crunch.

She started eating the bones too!

"Hahaha, she is quite hungry today… Those skills were very impressive, Nesiphae, Zehe"

Nesiphae who was munching on a crunchy bone blushed with embarrassment.

"E-Eh? D-Do shu think sho? Munch, munch"

"Indeed, the basics of a combat system is the adaptability of your techniques, and the power to evolve during battle, you two have completely grasped the idea"

Zehe also blushed at my praise, while munching a piece of meat.

"Fueeh… Thanks, Honey… I considered what you said regarding the Combat System, and applied it on my spells… Although I still feel like they are on an early stage"

"Hmm! Our ability to slowly gather the shadow of your enemies to refill your MP and increase the power of your spells is a good starting point, you must keep improving from this point onward"

"I see… I will take this into consideration"

Zehe looked me with lovely eyes and a warm smile, and slowly approached my face, it seemed that she wanted a little kiss. She looked quite adorable.

Mooch

"Hehe…"

Zehe rested her head over my small shoulders, while I patted her head.

Rimuru didn't liked how Zehe got all the love and wrapped her body around me, asking for a kiss too.

"Mastaaa… I want a kiss too!"

"R-Rimuru… Could you wait a little bit? I…"

"B-But Mastaa!"

Zehe looked at Rimuru with a smug face!

"Heh…"

"Geeh! Z-Zehe don't look me like that! Guuuuuuu!"

| YOU OBTAINED A NEW TITLE: BLOOD MONSTER CHIMERA KING |

| YOU AND YOUR PARTY LEARNED THE FOLLOWING SKILLS: |

| BLOOD MONSTER CHIMERA KING: BRIGHT SHINING HOLY FLASH |

| BLOOD MONSTER CHIMERA KING: NATURE HEALING |

| BLOOD MONSTER CHIMERA KING: WYVERN BLUE FLAME BREATH |

| BLOOD MONSTER CHIMERA KING: THUNDEROUS ELECTRIC SHOCKS |

| BLOOD MONSTER CHIMERA KING: CURSED ICE SPIKES |

| BLOOD MONSTER CHIMERA KING INCREDIBLE RESISTANCE |

| BLOOD MONSTER CHIMERA KING REGENERATIVE BODY |

I decided to assimilate some big chunks of the Blood Monster, including pieces of the skulls. It was quite painful but it came with great rewards. Most of my servants also assimilated some pieces, although Zehe was a little bit annoyed by the pain.

| YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ASSIMILATED THE FLESH OF A BLOOD MONSTER CHIMERA KING |

| YOU LEARNED A NEW SKILL: BLOOD MONSTER CHIMERA KING FIVE HEADS |

The assimilation of this powerful Blood Monster let me grow five Chimera heads, they would assume the form of my own appearance, but covered on the skulls of the head they represent.

It felt very weird having five more heads around my neck, and I deactivated the skill for now. I will need to train on controlling each head in the future.

My servants and wives also had this power too, and everyone could grow five more heads on their necks, this look oddly fitted Zehe the most, as she was an Ashura with multiple limbs. I wonder if she will evolve into having more heads naturally on the future.

After having this settled, I decided to check this strange "Reward Gift" that the system give to us after defeating the guardian.

"Why is the system rewarding us for completing a dungeon boss? Maybe the whole world wants this dungeon to be purged… Hmm… That would actually kind of make sense, incentivizing other beings on completing dungeons and defeating the bosses, making this world safer…"

The Reward Gift was a little box packed with decorations, resembling the gifts given on earth.

| REWARD GIFT (C GRADE): A reward gift box that will grant you a random piece of equipment or item, the item or equipment will be based off the monster slayed |

| OPEN? |

| >YES NO |

"Yes!"

The little box started to shine in a bright light, and it slowly disappeared, leaving an item on my hand.

Flash!

The item left on my hand was a small silver ring, it had a red gem which was decorated with five different animal heads made of silver, resembling a chimera.

"Ooh?"

| SILVER BLOOD GEM CHIMERA RING: A beautiful silver ring decorated with a blood gem and the chimera heads made of silver, generated by the system itself. Part of the Chimera Set |

| Effect: Grants +10 Strength and Magic |

| Extra Effect: Increases your Blood Affinity by 15% |

"Interesting, I will equip it for now" equipped

|YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY EQUIPPED: SILVER BLOOD GEM CHIMERA RING ON YOUR RIGHT HAND|

"What did you girls get?"

Zehe got a Chimera Pendant, it granted similar bonuses compared to my ring, but higher Magic stat.

Rimuru got a Chimera Sword, it was a beautiful silver short sword, decorated with red gems and five chimera heads.

Rimuru doesn't possess a job for now, but she is still a humanoid, giving her the possibility to equip anything she wants. She ended up liking the sword and told me that she would practice on sword proficiency.

Nesiphae obtained a Chimera Concentrated Blood Potion, which can increase her base stats by a little if consumed. And she did, she got +4 Strength and +3 Defense permanently from this beverage.

Wagyu obtained a Chimera body armor, which was silver colored, and decorated with red markings. A big chimera head made of silver decorated the middle of the chest area.

I told Wagyu that it would be ideal if he ate it, he could get a skill that could grant him an armor even if he can't equip them.

Wagyu usually does not like to eat minerals and things like this. Thankfully, this time he had the new skill that those Blood Lotus Plants give us "|BLOODY LOTUS DISSOLVING JUICES|". This skill was interesting, as it could extend in any part of your body like a sticky slime, and slowly dissolve things.

Kekensha obtained a Chimera Shield, a fitting piece of armor for him. he used the same method as Wagyu to consume the shield, obtaining the skill |BLOOD MONSTER CHIMERA SHIELD|.

Seeing how everyone was ready to depart, we kept advancing further below the cave.

When we reached another guardian, Rimuru wanted to join the fight, and joined forces with Zehe and Nesiphae.

This guardian was different than the last one, having a long snake body, it had a humanoid torso with multiple arms, however its head was grotesque and deformed.

Just like the previous guardian, the girls were able to defeat it without much sweat, Rimuru showed off her powerful skills, that included the manipulation of different elements at the same time, and the solidification of them, thanks to the skill |MAGIC SOLIDIFICATION| that she got from the Goblin Arch Mage meat some days ago.

She was able to infuse multi elemental magic around shape-shifted parts of her body to reinforce them, and even create a luminescent rainbow armor, which protected her from the furious attacks of this Blood Monster Claws.

Nesiphae worked mostly as a tank, taking hits from the Blood Monster and attracting its attention, while Zehe attacked it from behind with Shadow spells and Black Hole. While slowly draining its MP and Stamina with her Shadow Absorption.

Rimuru used its multi elemental solidified magic to create an incredible version of my Gate of Bjarmia, finishing this Blood Monster with a rain of powerful weapon shaped solidified magic projectiles, slicing the monster in countless pieces, while Zehe roasted and froze the parts so they wouldn't regenerate.

"Impressive, Rimuru Combat System has evolved incredibly fast… Couldn't expect less from her, she has accompanied me since I was an Undine Butterfly…"

Rimuru flew down below with her glorious rainbow armor and her Gale Bird Emperor wings, looking like a beautiful angel.

"Mastaaaa! I did it! Did you see? Guuu!"

"Hehehe, well done!"

Pat, pat.

"Uuaaahh…! Mastaa pats are the best! But please, I want a kiss too!"

Rimuru approached her cute and blue lips to me, I could not deny my cute wife request, she worked very hard.

Mooch.

"Hehehe! Mastaa I love you, guu!"

Rimuru wrapped me around and hugged me tightly, expressing her love in the Slimes way!

"Uuuaaagghh! I-I love you too! Please let me go! Uugh!"

Zehe, Nesiphae, Wagyu and Kekensha laughed at my side, enjoying my adorable struggles.

"Hehehe… Rimuru is very adorable when she wraps Master like that"

"Yeah, I wish she wrapped me very tightly like that… Haaahh…"

"Y-Yeah- W-What? Miss Nesiphae what did you said?"

"A-Ah! Nothing! Hehehe!"

"…"

"…"

"…"

We celebrated Rimuru triumph while roasting this Guardian meat, this time the meat had different flavors reptilian flavors, from alligator to snakes, and even some fish. It was a very unique meat.

We also assimilated its flesh, until we got the system message.

| YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ASSIMILATED THE FLESH OF A BLOOD MONSTER BASILISK KING |

| YOU LEARNED A NEW SKILL: BLOOD MONSTER BASILISK KING SNAKE BODY |

This assimilation skill granted us the quick and flexible snake body of the Blood Monster Basilisk, it also came with the creation of its six limbs, which could come handy in battle.

After absorbing the blood of two guardians today, my blood vitality leveled again and I algo got some extra stats in Blood Strength.

| YOUR BLOOD STRENGTH HAS INCREASED BY 6 POINTS |

| YOUR BLOOD VITALITY HAS LEVELED UP! 7>8 |

Everyone seemed quite tired, and a lot of things happened today, so we left the opening of the Reward Gift for tomorrow.

According to the system clock, it was already night outside, so we decided to pass the night inside the dungeon, I took out the big house I carried on my Item Box and everyone fitted inside just well, however, there wasn't a fitting bed for Nesiphae so I made an improvised one with my magic threads.
