End of the dungeon

When Rose went under my clothes, we started walking towards the next point in the dungeon. We walked out of the forest and into a new dungeon section. Here, there were a lot of rocks and what felt like a never-ending horizon.

We were standing on a mountain, and the cave we had walked out of vanished into thin air. Looking around, I saw that there was a timer in the sky. The timer was going down and said, " 71:59:25."

This timer determines how long you have to survive in this dungeon section. I wasn't interested in being here that long, so I went to the system shop and bought two items: a black glove and a special barrier.

The glove was named the demon goddess's right hand, and the barrier was called absolute defense.

The item's description is as follows: The demon goddess's right hand is a black glove that gives a demon the power to become one of the strongest goddesses in her universe. This glove can manipulate time and gravity with a wave and the intention behind it.

The absolute defense downgraded version is a barrier that can block any attack and ignore everything that is going on outside of the barrier. The downgrade means that you can only use this one time. (Jack bought it on purpose because he didn't see any use to have it after using it on this occasion.)

He put on the black glove and activated the barrier. A yellow-golden castle appeared around them, and Jack, who had put on the glove, felt its power running through his body. He waved his hands around as if testing it, but nothing happened. He inspected it and then pointed his hand forward.

He waved his hands again, this time with the intention of having the timer run out. When he was halfway through his hand movement, the surroundings outside the barrier suddenly changed. Everything was a blur, and you couldn't see anything with the naked eye. 

When he finished his wave, everything outside the barrier returned to normal. The only difference was that the timer stood at 00:00:00, and a portal with a white light appeared far from him.

He deactivated the absolute defense and teleported towards the portal, with Amaterasu and Aphrodite closely following him. He entered the portal and was met with the last portion of the dungeon.

There were a lot of monsters here, but not as mindless as the apes he fought before. These monsters were the real deal, which is why this was an A-rank dungeon. The apes were easy target shooting compared to the monsters here. And the survival challenge would only be had for the people who didn't come prepared.

There were also monsters in that mountain range, but they weren't worth mentioning in front of him. These guys are A+ rank, so they are slightly weaker than me but have the number advantage. 

This was the reason that I summoned Aphrodite. I knew that I was going to have some challenges for myself here. I could buy items from the system shop and be done with it, but I wanted to train myself, even if it was for just a bit. 

I turned towards Aphrodite. "Buff me with your power." 

"Yes, master," she said lovingly and came towards me. She kissed me, and as your lips met, she wanted more, so she stuck out her tongue. I didn't refuse it and opened my mouth and let her tongue enter. I opened my eyes to see what she was doing, and she was also looking at me. The only difference is that her eyes were glowing pink, and she was using her powers.

Her power entered my body and mixed in with the flow of magic. She parted our lips, and salvia connected our lips. "Done, master. You have all the buffs that I can bestow on someone."

Aphrodite has special powers that are different from those she had in the stories I saw in my past life. Instead of a charmer, she was more of a support here. One of her powers is a type of buff. The more she loves someone, the more powerful the buff becomes. And because she gave it to me, her only true love, all my powers are now in a 200 percent buff state. 

It could go higher, but I limited my influence to make it harder on myself. I took my sword out of my inventory and walked towards the clearing, where the monsters would spawn if I came close to it.

While I could sense the monsters, they hadn't appeared yet. This part of the dungeon was an arena where the monsters spawned in waves, and you were stuck in a ring with them. Walking towards the spot where a golden light glowed, I felt the monsters' excitement at seeing new prey arrive.

When I finally arrived at the spot and touched the golden light, a rumbling sound came around me. A real arena was being constructed around me, and I could see Aphrodite and Amaterasu in the seats as if they were spectators.

The golden light floated into the air and became text.
