When everyone had a light meal and rested, we decided to quickly descend towards the last floor of this dungeon. While walking down the stairs, an eerie feeling began to surround us. It was a very cold sensation. And an incredible blood lust.
I activated my skill [Flaming Blood Empress Intimidating Presence] and countered the powerful pressure. Making the travel downstairs swifter.
My wives and Gaby seemed to be welcomed by this aura and even liked it, while the spirits were intimidated by it and even called it more frightening than the monster on the tenth floor.
Even I don't know the true nature of my aura, but I'm glad that I'm able to alleviate the pressure that my wives and Gaby are having on their hearts.
As we stepped on the tenth floor, we were greeted by several of the previous monsters, but there were new faces that I haven't seen before. The most interesting ones were an evolved form of the Wisps, this time, they take on a more humanoid shape, however, without a face or expression. They are more intelligent and can easily conjure powerful fire spells.
There were also evolved versions of the Hundred-Armed Legions, becoming Emperors, their power multiplied several times, and also gained the power to wield cursed bone weapons.
And lastly, the strongest monster on this floor aside from the boss was the "Nether Hellish Worm Spawn", which were the offspring of this creature. They were rather strong, being able to warp around easily and attacking with corrosive ghost poison. Their bodies were filled with countless mouths filled with sharp fangs and their tongues were able to freeze anything they touched.
These strong ghost monsters used to attack in big groups of around 50 each time. We barely had any time to rest, as more battalions filled with monsters attacked us without mercy. Nether Hellish Worm Spawns were incredibly resilient and sneaky, warping around and dodging most of our attacks. I had to buff my whole party to its limit while supporting everyone with my Cursed Claws and different spells to deal with the massive groups. It was as if the boss of the room was sending these towards us.
When we finally reached the boss room, I settled a powerful solidified holy magic barrier. And so, we took some time to rest and eat before the boss. I couldn't count how many monsters we killed, but my Item Box was already filled with their corpses. I ate around 6 of each new monster.
[You gained 386543 EXP] [The rest of your party gained tons of EXP]
[You gained one level!] [LEVEL 50/70 EXP 110684/424000]
[The rest of your servants gained tons of levels!]
The evolved Wisps tasted like a very spicy fire, whit hints of sweetness. The Hundred-Armed Legion Emperors had the classic rotten meat flavor but made even more bitter. Lastly, the Nether Hellish Worm Spawns were surprisingly delicious! They had a very fishy flavor, that reminded me of Eel. I even chopped some and grilled them with a little bit of seasoning. My wives ended up loving them.
[You gained the following Skills]
[Wisp Specter Blazing Curse]
[Undying Blue Flame Curse]
[Cursed Bone Weapon Summoning: Sword, Axe, and Lance]
[Nether Warping Capabilities]
[Nether Corrosive Ghostly Poison]
[Nether Worm Comprehensive Learning]
Their skills were rather weird, these worms probably use these warping skills to move around their original realm. I tried using it but it needs a lot of practice, I also discovered that warping is limited to a few meters and I can't just warp to my Kingdom in a blink. The Nether Corrosive Ghostly Poison was a powerful and destructive poison that could dissolve even souls, it was extremely dangerous to beings that have no soul protection at all.
We rested for around half an hour, as I tried to use this time to practice my warping, but it was just too confusing, having to calculate the exact place in space that you want to warp in. It ended up giving me heavy mental fatigue, so I had to rest for the next of the 30 minutes.
When everyone felt ready and refreshed, I quickly activated several boosting skills on my wives and Gaby, as I covered my body on my [Four-Armed Crimson Wyvern Magic Reflecting Armor] and my [Omni Elemental Full Body Spiritual Shield]. I summoned my three weapons of choice and clashed the boss door with an immense triple blow using my multiple weapon techniques.
BOOOM!
It seems that the boss was waiting for us and greeted our visit with an intense ear-piercing cry.
"Screeeeeeeeee!"
A powerful and intimidating beast of hell glanced at us. It had an elongated blue colored body full of different sections. Each part of its body was covered in several mouths filled with sharp fangs. Each mouth had a long green tongue drooling with deadly poison. Without wasting a second, the beast began its charge, warping around the room while shooting a rain of Corrosive Poison Bullets. Each bullet melted the hard rock of the dungeon floor. Leaving a deadly and poisonous smoke.
Thanks to my [Poison Immunity] and the magic reflecting capabilities of my armor, I was able to tank and intercept most of the Corrosive Poison Bullets shot, successfully protecting my wives.
While I protected my wives, I also began to summon Cursed Claws around the entire room, distracting the several poisonous tongues of the beast. And ultimately detonating, blowing away its deadly jaws.
Meanwhile, Brontes and Gaby worked together jumping around with the incredible strength, throwing powerful Thunder and Blade Energy slashes at the colossal beast. Killing countless of its tongues and jaws and slowly diminishing its HP.
Nesiphae used her size to confront the beast head-on, clashing with its main jaw, attacking it with countless flaming blows. While also releasing her magic snakes around the floor, who sneakily attacked the monster blind spots.
At the back, Zehe supported everyone with her magic, trapping certain parts of the boss for others to easily destroy. Sometimes she would shoot a powerful barrage of shadow bullets filled with different status ailments and curses. The boss tried several times to take her but everyone protected Zehe and she was easily able to concentrate on her magic chanting.
Rimuru her strong magic power and adaptability in battle to fly around blasting the monster with different element magic attacks. When the monster tried to take her down, she would easily protect herself with her [Omni Elemental Rainbow Armor]. She also supported on buffing and healing whenever anyone needed it.
As several minutes passed, which felt like an eternity, the boss began to slow down its movements as it struggled while warping. On its last struggle, it released a powerful magic rain made out of corrosive ghostly poison. But I managed to grab everyone with me with my threads and protected them with a solidified magic shield with the Holy attribute.
Seeing that its "last resort" was completely wasted, the beast went berserk as it tried to destroy the dungeon itself, warping around while summoning its pawns. It seemed to be going all out for sure now, so I wanted to quickly end this before it could get out of control. I decided to activate my [Supernatural Demonic Core of Forbidden Magic] as my body was covered on a majestic demonic armor, increasing my power to a devastating degree.
The monster noticed the sudden change in my aura as it yelled at me and tried to take me down with its own body. Trying to slap me with its thick and muscular tail. However, it quickly noticed that its blows had no effect on me, and it even damaged its flesh, heavily breaking its bones and bleeding a greenish substance.
Wanting to test my strength, I decided to fight the monster without weapons, punching and kicking its entire body, it yelled in agony as I broke its countless bones, my armor quickly began to be covered on a thick layer of the beast green blood.
As the monster tried to stop me, it used its tongues to trap me, tightly grabbing my extremities, and using this opportunity to pull my arms and legs in an attempt to detach my limbs. The monster pulled as hard as its herculean strength could, but quickly began to tremble in fear as it contemplated my body staying in place. Its tongues began to break apart as it tried to detach my limbs. The monster yelled in furious pain and opened its gaping mouth, trying to eat me, as if by doing so, I would surely die this time.
Suddenly, my vision was covered on the vision of several rings made of countless sharp fangs, looking like an endless void going straight towards hell itself. Even the beast's main tongue had its own tiny mouths and tongues, creating a horrible sight.
As the monster closed its mouth on my armor, it felt an incredible pain fill its entire jaw. I saw as a greenish rain made of the beast fangs began to fall on the ground. The monster began to look at me with incredible fear, but it still tried to bite me again, breaking its jaw even harder.
Crack! CRACK!
"SCREEEE!"
Having successfully tested the durability and defense of my armor, I quickly ended the weakened beast's life with a powerful punch on its brain, destroying its skull to dust. Its entire head exploded like a gooey watermelon, spreading the monster bones and green blood everywhere.
After seeing their progenitor motionless on the ground, the boss spawns tried to run away, but my wives quickly disposed of them with their powerful and explosive techniques and magic.
[You gained 426822 EXP] [The rest of your party gained tons of EXP]
[You gained one level!] [LEVEL 51/70 EXP 113506/452000]
[The rest of your servants gained tons of levels!]

[Congratulations! You have successfully defeated the dungeon boss!]

[You obtained a special Item Drop: Nether Sword of Undying Pain (Legendary) x1]
[The dungeon has been purified]
[Certain conditions have been accomplished]
[You learned the Skill: [Empress of Lust Indestructible Conviction] x1]
That's certainly an incredible amount of rewards, and I haven't even received the Spirits Sacred Treasure yet.
Wanting to see this new sword that I received, I opened my Item Box and took it outside. The weapon was a very wide long sword and its blade was made of a very shiny pale blue alloy. The sword was decorated with bone-like spikes and had a skull on its hilt. The skull eyes seemed to shine with a blue flame from time to time. It was rather heavy, but I was able to easily slash and thrust with it.
[Nether Sword of Undying Pain (Legendary): One of the nine Nether Swords forged on the deeps of the Abyss Realm of Gehinnom. Made with the corrosive Nether Diamond and Dark Space Gold. It said that this sword was forged by Hades himself and it's virtually indestructible]
[Durability: ----/----]

[Soul Devourer] [Soul Storage] [Pain Share] [Pain Sacrifice] [Pain Boost]
[Masterful Nether Magic Creation and Manipulation] [Nether Coating]
[Blessing of the Nether God of Death: Hades] [Legendary Relic]
Just from reading its description alone I could tell that this sword was incredibly powerful. And after seeing its stats, I couldn't help but smile. This sword was on another level entirely, even more, powerful than the Wyvern Overlord Sword. Seeing such power and skill, I couldn't help myself as I tried to bite it and eat it.
[You cannot eat an [Legendary] Item]
I already imagined this would happen. A mortal cannot easily eat something forged by a god.
Just like the other weapons, I would temporarily get every skill that this weapon possesses as long as I have it equipped with me, this included the Hades Blessing. It seems that this sword can both eat and store souls, this is very convenient because souls are always quite sneaky and I never manage to catch all of them before they dissipate. It also can evolve consuming different types of minerals and when I evolve. It possesses the mysterious "Nether" magic creation and manipulation, which is a strange type of non-elemental magic that displays itself as a formless corrosive mass. It's very strong and resilient, and I can cover myself with it or create more complex magic with it.
Lastly, the sword has the power to use my wounds and pain as an attack towards my enemies, sharing my pain and wounds with them, easily spreading damage across a big legion of foes.
Sadly, I still can't figure Hades Blessing Effect, I will need Redgaria assistance in that regard.
After testing the sword to my heart's content, I went towards my wives as they were resting on the side of the room, thankfully they didn't get any serious wounds so I easily healed any abnormal status they had.
I started to gather the boss pieces that looked nice enough and I purified the poison on the blood with my [All-Purpose Fluid Manipulation], spreading the effect of [Poison Immunity]. When all the meat was purified, it looked like a delicious white eel meat, so I chopped it in big chunks and grilled it. The spirits looked at us with disbelief while we were casually cooking the beast that they had so many nightmares in the past.
While my wives and Gaby drooled looking at the grilling meat, I began to gather all the boss remains and found countless spirit orbs. I slowly opened each one, restoring the spirits life with my MP. There were more than ten at the end, each one with different shapes and personalities.
All of the spirit folk were happy to be free and reunited, hugging and crying while thanking us with all their sincerity. While I began to wonder when Koi would give me my Sacred Treasure, the old floating fish slowly floated towards me, holding a big golden chest with its water manipulation abilities.
"Here it is… The Sacred Treasure that the Superior Water Spirit once gave to us as a present… P-Please take good care of it"
Koi slowly opened the chest as it reveled their most precious treasure.
"Oh? A dress?"
The famous sacred treasure ended up being a complete set of armor in the form of a beautiful Arabic dancer dress. It was incredibly revealing. The breast and hips part was made of a beautiful pale blue fabric, that had a rainbow luster to it, and even decorated with countless shiny pearls and blue gems. The set also came with a beautiful tiara decorated with blue and green gems, on its center, it had a beautiful rainbow pearl.
[Sacred Treasure of Atabey; Enchanting Water Shrine Maiden Set (Legendary): A Sacred Treasure made with Celestial Water Wool and Undine Spirit Tears. Carefully crafted by the Superior Water Spirit of Water and Fertility; Atabey. Only the most beautiful of maidens can equip this set. Indestructible]
[Grants (Full set): +50 Defense and +85 Resistance]
[Special Effect: Grants +40 Speed and Magic]
[Second Effect: [Self Evolution] [Indestructible] [Water Immunity] [Water Absorption]
[Third Effect: Grants the skills [Charm of the Spirit Deity] [Hydrokinesis] [Total Water Domain]
Because I already had the adaptive armor that I planned to evolve and upgrade, I ended up giving this dress to Rimuru, who seemed to have a very good affinity with it.
"Guuuuu! Thanks, Mastaa! I really like it, guuu! How does it look on me?"
Just as I thought, the Sacred Treasure looked gorgeous on Rimuru beautiful humanoid body, it displayed her curves and breast wonderfully and even multiplied her natural charm hundreds of times. Rimuru looked like a dazzling fairy every time she moved with it.
"Haaah… Rimuru, you look so beautiful…"
To this sudden compliment, Rimuru blushed a little as she expanded her body and hugged me tightly.
"Guuu… M-Masta… D-Don't say such embarrassing things all of the sudden… Hehehe… But it makes me happy"
After giving such treasure to Rimuru, my wives looked at her with a little bit jealously. I really love all my wives equally, so I will need to gift each one a [Legendary] type of item in the future to amend for this.
However, even my wives couldn't resist Rimuru new charm, as they all praised her beauty, patted and hugged her. She is too adorable.
When the water spirit group saw Rimuru dancing around with the Sacred Treasure, they all began to tremble and cry, saying that Rimuru resembled the same Spirit that gave this Treasure to them. Praising Rimuru for her beauty and grace, calling her "Water Deity".
When the boss meat was ready, I opened my Item Box and took several foods that I have stored. These included pickled vegetables, boiled forest grains, and other types of prepared food like fried meat and even the Lizardman Emperor leftover meat. I also took several tables and plates and invited the spirits to enjoy with us. It was a nice night and everyone enjoyed delicious food and a warm atmosphere.
The Nether Hellish Worm meat was incredibly delicious, it was filled with tasty sweet juices and had a seafood fragrance, it was very good accompanied with pickled vegetables, boiled forest grains, and the beer.

These skills were rather interesting and expanded on my Nether Magic knowledge. It even granted me immunity to this bizarre element.
We finished eating very late on the night, and the spirits thanked us once again for slaying the monster. They all went around the dungeon, it seems that they will slowly "purify" it, cleaning the negative and corrosive energy that has infected this place.
While cleaning the things over the dungeon floor, I multitasked and drank the three potions I obtained beating the last bosses, these were the HP and MP Potion enhancement and the estrange Rainbow Elixir. The HP and MP Potions tasted like a rather sour liquor, the first one having a saltier flavor while the later had a sweet flavor.
The Rainbow Elixir was an incredible medicine that had the properties of all previous potions, healing HP and MP, healing status ailments and boosting each stat for some time. It was an incredible beverage that seemed to be made by the gods themselves. And it was because it was a [Legendary] Class consumable item.
[You learned the following Skills]
[Extra Max HP Reinforcement]
[Extra Max MP Enhancement]
[Rainbow Elixir Flesh and Blood]
[True Rainbow Essence]
Before sleeping on the bed inside the house I brought with my Item Box, I began to open the several [Reward Gifts] that I had. There was also a [Celestial Gift] which would give a random [Legendary] Class item! I was pretty excited about it but slowly opened the lower-ranked ones first. My wives and Gaby also began to open them as they obtained several treasures of various uses.
The first two [Unique+] gifts given from the Ghost Specter Boss gave me a [High EXP Potion] and a [Wailing Specter Bone Axe (Unique+)], the Axe was rather massive and I saw some potential on it, so I quickly ate it. I will save the potion for another day.
[You learned the following Skills]
[Weapon Summoning Magic: Wailing Specter Bone Axe]
The second two gifts were of [Unique++] Class and came from the Hundred-Armed Legion Boss. The first gift gave me a [10+1 Unique++ Dungeon Gacha Ticket], this ticket guaranteed at least one random [Unique++] monster for the dungeon. The second item was a beautiful black pendant with a pale blue gem inside of it. It was named [Hundred Ghost Gem Pendant] and granted a nice bonus on Resistance and Magic, so I decided to equip it for now.
Finally, the last three [Unique++] gifts given by the Nether Hellish Worm himself. The first reward surprised me a lot, as I got another radish, but this time it was golden colored and seemed to have a stronger effect, it was named [Super Golden Enhancing Radish]. The second gift gave me a strange Spirit Stone named [Phantom Nether Spirit Stone], I decided to save it instead of eating it, maybe for a future weapon or armor for my wives.
Lastly, the third gift gave me an enchanting ring named [Hades Nether Eye Ring], it had a powerful effect named [Armor Combination], this skill granted the ring the power to combine with another of my equipped armor for an enhanced effect, however, it would be permanent. I decided to gamble it and see if I can get the skill by eating it.
And I did. But I didn't get the accessory itself as a Skill.
[You learned the following Skills]
[Armor Combination]
"Now… The Celestial Gift!"
We decided to open the Celestial Gift at the same time with my wives and Gaby. So, everyone was waiting for me.
The Celestial Gift doesn't look at all like the previous Reward Gifts, as they were made of a golden material, shining brightly.
[Open Celestial Gift? A random [Legendary] Item will be obtained]
[>YES NO]
"Yes!"
Flash!
A powerful blinding light filled the whole room, the light was rather warm, and had relaxing properties. When the light slowly faded, a different item was on my hand.
[Shadow-Gathering Staff of Oblivion: A beautiful staff that possesses the ability to move on its own and assists its wielder. Forged by the Goddess of Shadows Nyx using the Legendary Dark Matter Alloy and her Divine Energy. This item is indestructible]
[Durability: ----/----]
[Attack Power: 400]
[Magic: 890]
[Speed: 650]
[SKILLS]
[Indestructible] [Magic Coating] [Self Evolution] [Wielder Assist] [Triple Cast] [Fast Chanting]
[Shadow Magic Domain] [Shadow Immunity] [Shadow Absorption]
[Blessing of the Goddess of Shadows: Nyx] [Legendary Relic]
This weapon was way more than I expected. It was incredible in every aspect. The Staff was around three meters tall, covered on a beautiful pure black luster. On the top of the weapon, there were several spikes made of this black material, carefully decorated with countless High-Quality Spirit Gems. Despite its size and power, the staff was extremely light. What I liked the most about this weapon was the ability to assist me in battle separately, casting spells for me while I can attack physically on my own.
After seeing what my wives and Gaby got, it looks like everyone obtained a fitting weapon for their class and affinity. Each one was blessed by a different god and was a straight upgrade to anything they ever had.
Rimuru obtained the [Radiant Rainbow Sword of Valhalla], a powerful magic sword made by the Omni Elemental Goddess of Spirits Medeina. This sword suits Rimuru perfectly because she is talented in both physical and magical damage. The sword had quite a simple design but its blade shined brightly with countless colors, it was hypnotizing.
Zehe obtained the [Vanquishing Staff of Starvation], a staff with an incredible magic concentration, probably both of our weapons are in equal power, but I can still feel a bigger potential on Zehe's weapon. This intimidating staff was made by The Goddess of Demise and Starvation Limos. The Staff had quite the terrifying form, being forged on a deep black material, it had a crown depicting countless tentacles and a bright red eye-like gem.
Nesiphae obtained the [Gorgon's Heaven Splitting Axe], a colossal Axe that fitted her giant size perfectly, it was deep purple with beautiful snake decorations and paintings. This Axe was made by the Goddess of The Poison Mist Achlys. The Axe was so big that Nesiphae had to quickly save it inside her Item Box if she didn't want the house to be destroyed by the weapon weight alone.
Brontes obtained the [Storming Club of Thundering Heavens], a majestic and powerful golden-colored Club with sharp black spikes. It was decorated with beautiful markings showing storms and thunder. This Club was made by the Oni God of Thunderstorms Raiji.
Lastly, Gaby obtained the [Oceanic Sword of Storm Waves], a beautiful pale-blue colored sword that had a series of teeth on its side, which were from a legendary water dragon. Made by the God of Oceanic Storms Aegaeon. When light penetrated the sword, I was able to hear the waves of the ocean.
I was very glad that everyone was able to obtain such a powerful weapon as a reward, they all worked very hard in each fight. I can't wait to see what the rest obtained; I hope everyone got a Legendary Weapon too.
