After their [Rank Up], Auro and Argento became representatives of the race [Half-Human Lord (Mixblood) ・ Subspecies (Variant)]. We can see the big changes from the growth of their bodies. What I had found out was that they each gained a Demon Orb on their chest and still retained the other 2 located on each of their hands. The magic emanating from the Orbs made it easy to understand that their power had increased.
I recall that the main condition for the evolution (subspecies) seemed to be divine protections. In this case, Auro received [Divine Protection of the God of Gold] and [Divine Protection of the Demigod of Magic Guns], and Argento received [Divine Protection of the God of Silver] and the [Divine Protection of the Demigod of Magic Spears].
The [Divine Blessings] of the [God of Silver] and the [God of Gold] are very similar. The blessings manifest when the owners use magic items made of gold / silver; The [Divine Blessing] also allows you to temporarily turn your mana into gold / silver.
[Divine Protection of the Demigod of Magic Guns]is effective when using magic guns.
[Divine Protection of the Demigod of the Spear]is effective when using a spear.
They both said that they wanted to try their combat capability immediately, which greatly improved, but I placed breakfast as a higher priority. The unexpected can happen at any time, and I cannot fight with an empty stomach.
While eating breakfast, It seems that the body of the two demons rapidly increased in size. Now Auro is now a little bit beyond 180 centimeters tall and Argento is close to 2 meters in size - his clothes became too small to fit because of his growth. So, just in case this happened, the Sisters, whom are their mothers, already prepared things that I could pass on to them. Previously, it was the thing that was passed to me when we stopped at the bases.
When I changed their clothes after we finished eating breakfast, the size seemed perfect, and it doesn't inhibit the evolved children's movement. Such things like this give me an impression of what it's like to have the affection of a mother who gave birth through a painful cesarean section. After small adjustments to the weapons and checking our equipment again, we began to fight with the dungeon monsters around.
After watching the first battle, their improved abilities were visible. They easily defeated the monsters that they had been struggling fighting just one of before. The guns and spears that are summoned when they release the Demon Orbs could also become a hidden trump card that had even more power. The power of tactics had greatly improved one by one.
After that, I let the kids, which included Opushii, fight as much as they want with our aim being to reach the boss of the dungeon after eating lunch. Because we were close, we quickly got into position in front of the boss room without getting lost up there. In the place closest to the stern, the last level was the ship's bridge. According to the size of the[Ship Ambrasm Pontus], the inside of the bridge stretched out in a pretty vast space.
All the sides offer an extraordinary view of the sea and the interior had tables laid out with maps, ship rudders and other things necessary for navigation. Due to that fact, there were so many obstacles in this room compared with the previous boss room. It cannot be said this would ever be an easy fight. Despite its large space, there were places that felt painfully narrow.
In this room there's a dungeon boss called [Grand Admiral of the Black Sea], wearing a black military uniform that covers his muscular Beastman body while his head has the look of a killer whale. With a size just under 3 meters, it also has a tail; in addition, here and there are visible characteristic features of a killer whale. In particular, the real eyes underneath the killer whale's distinctive white pattern are glowing with the will to fight, which is unimaginably belligerent from its appearance.
It is equipped with a saber-type long sword, which is a living sword. I can feel magical power in that sword which means that that sword would be problematic. Among the beastmen of the ocean, the Killer Whales are known as a tribe that has spread its power alongside the shark-based beastmen. Somewhere in the ocean, their country exists. Its combat ability underwater can't be taken for granted, and it seems high enough to the point where we wouldn't be able to guard against him in the sea.
But, in spite of this information, it's not something to worry about, because I crushed it from the beginning with full force as soon as I met it. First, setting the motion to trigger the activation of[3 Steps of Annihilation], I leapt forward in the blink of an eye, while jumping over obstacles, and closed the distance between us.
The distance of about a few tens of meters disappeared in an instant. Reacting to my movement, [Grand Admiral of the Black Sea], in order to seize the initiative, began to pull out the saber from his waist. But faster than he could do so, I activated [Silent Pierce] and [One Sting Bee], hitting him with the augmented Vermillion Spear.
Against a conventional enemy, my Vermillion Spear, enhanced with activated abilities, can pierce through without much resistance, but as expected from the dungeon [God] class, it is not so simple.
His uniform already had a high defensive force contrary to the appearance of what it was made of: his skin is really hard to cut through. Being equipped with a strong skeletal structure and thick, supple muscles, the overall hefty body is not inferior to [Dragons] or [Giants]; it has an unexpectedly higher density than those.
Due to that fact, at the time of hitting the [Grand Admiral of the Black Sea], it felt like the response you get from stabbing some kind of huge mass of metal. Surely, the majority of attacks would not even hurt his skin. But still it was not enough to stop the Vermilion Spear.
After piercing his real skin, coming from the end of the spear tip, I could feel the pulsing of his heart. If possible, I would like to finish him off, damaging him as little as possible. But as expected, this one was not that weak.
Just tearing his heart was not enough to kill him. Without even grimacing, [Grand Admiral of the Black Sea] came towards me, and unsheathed his weapon.
He did it with such speed that it created a shock wave. But before his weapon cut my body, I closed the distance on a step, and using 2 of my 4 hands, completely stopping its motion. His sword froze, barely touching my side, but it had not been able to cut.
While immobilizing the enemy, restraining his hands, and releasing the Vermilion Spear that was stuck deep in his body, my other two hands went to work; I started to squeeze him from both sides, using concentrated power in my legs and activating my strongest abilities[Irresistible Destruction of the Black Demon King]and[Overwhelming Tyranny of the Black Demon King].
After this, all resistance by the [Black Sea Admiral] was completely pointless. Palms entered his violently writhing body, and I felt under them the torn muscles and breaking bones wrinkling inside. Like a squashed frog in a machine or cloth wrung after washing.
Having been pierced and squeezed by two silver arms, the body of [Black Sea Admiral], was ragged, being crushed into a poor state.
Flattened on both sides, his insides turned to mush, and then they started to come out the mouth, eyes bulging, blood gushing from his nose, and underneath him, a pool has begun to accumulate. From the state of his condition, just a glance and one would know that it was enough to be a fatal wound.
But, he is still not dead, barely clinging to life. Normally, this damage is enough to make one die dozens of times, being so injured in his condition, he is still trying to regenerate at a visible rate. Either way, it would be nice if I can observe an image of such a scene as going in reverse, like a playback of the destroyed object.
Frankly, I had not thought that any kind of organisms would be able to do something from this destroyed state. It tried moving its head, which was still safe, to do a last counterattack. The [Grand Admiral of the Black Sea] was trying to bite.
His huge mouth, studded with sparkling white teeth, was large enough to swallow my entire head. However, I take the last step and head-butt him at the same time. In addition to the [Head-Butting] and [Hard Head], which were activated at the time the attack, as well as the [Devastating Thunderhorn Blades] and [Frantic Dance Pair of Horns], one blow blasted out lightning while ripping the body of [Black Sea Admiral] in half.
It seems that it died without being able to regenerate. The blood becomes a spray of blood and evaporated, meat spreading the fragrance of something lightning-burnt. I took a bite at once. Unexpectedly, shockwaves ran all over my body. While it has the feel of a wild taste full of meat, rich, and delicious. I wonder if the flavor it has comes from the flexible and powerful muscles that were needed to swim in the ocean.
The quality of the meat is strongly reminiscent of the Dragon Empress. Unexpectedly, I took another bite, but then I came to myself, and the rest was recovered for the item box.
I'm afraid to think about the reaction of others if I'd eaten a demon whole.
[Dungeon boss [Great Admiral of the Black Sea] successfully eliminated.]
[Yatendouji awarded the treasure box [Killer Whale Meat of Orca King] as a bonus for the first elimination of the boss.]
[As a privilege for conquest, use of the Warp Gate will be enabled.]
[Since the Warp Gate will apply only to people that conquered it, please take caution.]
[For those who have awakened the Psalms／The key figures of God's Lost Psalms, a part of the[God of Ships]divine power will be granted.]
[As the collector is an important figure of a Greater God, the quality of the Divine Power collected will be inferior.]
[Portions of the Divine Power rejected by this rule will be turned into an object.]
[Yatendouji has obtained [Steering Wheel of the God of Ships (Polaidras · Hydra)]] !!!]
[Activating the unique ability [Dungeon Plunder], it is possible to seize dominion of the labyrinth.]
[Due to conditions being fulfilled, you can now plunder the[Ship Ambrasm Pontus].]
[Do you want to plunder?]
[≪Yes≫ ≪No≫]
Naturally, I chose ≪Yes≫.
While I was trying to understand the ability of the [Steering Wheel of the God of Ships], which can only be seen as a golden steering wheel of a general design with 3 straight lines superposed on a circle, I did some miscellaneous stuffs such as adjusting the newly acquired Labyrinth inside out.
Unexpectedly, I took a lot of time and when we went outside, it was evening already. The view of the sunset that dyed the ocean in a mad red color was unexpectedly wonderful.
