Chapter 274: The Goddess Descends
-----
Four days had gone by since Dhuja was killed and the Shadow Snakes were officially destroyed, and Zero and her squad had been working diligently for Frank, having already taken down four criminal organizations in this little time.
In this time Frank has been assessing things through, asking many things to Dead Spirits, learning new information and clues about the red-skinned demoness and the entity within the crystal ball, and more, but everything was often clouded in mystery.
Frank, although strong, was perhaps overly cautious now, and wanted to prepare as much as he could, he was also monitoring the groups of Adventurers that were entering the Dungeon within the city and had sent a Shadow Eye to scout the entire dungeon, but quickly discovered that the dungeon was unlike any other he had seen.
The dungeon had many random rooms that constantly changed in between, making it a complete and random mess.
This was a great method of making people have a very hard time finding the right path or finding the correct way ahead, and if the Tree of Rebirth was really here, it has been well-guarded by this method.
However, Frank realized that the groups sent by the red-skinned demoness possessed special mapping artifacts, which they used to guide themselves.
Frank was also using his Mapping Skill, which was now part of his Divine Sense, to map the entire dungeon through the long-ranged Shadow Eye he conjured, which was taking a large quantity of mana constantly, and which he wouldn't be able to make more than one.
Nonetheless, it was good enough, and whenever the group was to finally find the tree, Frank could easily Teleport there using Cosmic King Magic and the Space Divinity Fragment he acquired from Zudithe to reach that place.
After getting the memories of a God of Space, Frank naturally became good at using space magic.
He was not killing this group of high ranked brainwashed Adventurers because he wanted them to find the treasure for him and then Teleport there, grab it, and disappear.
As shameless as it was, he had no intentions of making any negotiations.
After he secured the Tree of Rebirth, Frank would move to his plans of attacking the hideout beneath the Eastgrande Family Territory, kill anyone there, eat the crystal ball and the soul of the old magus, and get the Jewel of Eternal Life…
But of course, the more one planned, the more unexpected things would occur, so Frank needed to make sure to prepare himself for many surprises, and for that, he was trying to hone his skills at the moment while cultivating, eating piles after piles of Mana Cores of Rank 4 Initial Stage farmed in the Dungeon, and more.
However, even as he ate many, to break through Rank 5 Middle Stage… he would need way more.
And everyone else was consuming them, so he had to distribute them.
Nonetheless, he felt as if he were getting somewhere with all of this, and for the moment, honing his battle capabilities and Skills was the best he could do.
A few days ago he had felt the sudden presence of a lot of miasmas slowly forming around Westwind, and quickly realized that many Abyssal Horrors were about to emerge all at the same time.
Frank was strong enough to be confident in defeating all the ones that were to emerge in a few more days, but was still practicing and trying to grow as strong as possible, although nothing could satiate his hunger for bigger numbers of EXP.
As Frank prepared, Orb suddenly called him through their connection with their souls.
"Master! Come here quickly! Something is happening! A girl spawned in the Dungeon as if she were a monster! I don't know what to do! And she… her aura looks a lot like her!" said Orb, as Frank barely could even guess what she was even talking about.
However, because he felt concerned nonetheless, he decided to quickly go there.
"Orb? What is going on?" he asked while using Teleport and moving immediately inside Orb's Dungeon, right at her side, even.
"Uwah! You startled me! You can even use such a cheat Spell now…" said Orb.
"It is very convenient, but it costs like 10000 MP per use, so I can't use it continuously… So? What happened?" asked Frank.
"There's a strange girl that appeared in the dungeon, I already told you!" said Orb.
"Strange girl? Are you not playing with me?" asked Frank, it simply didn't make any sense that a girl was suddenly summoned as if she were a monster inside a dungeon.
"Yeah! I am sure! Just go check!" said Orb while pouting… well, she would pout if she had a face.
But Frank knew that there could be a first time for everything, so after hearing Orb reassure him of what she said, he decided to go meet this girl, who was slowly making her way out of the dungeon while eating monsters around.
Frank walked through the corridors rather wary of this entity, he could feel its powerful presence from far away, it was as if it were the incarnation of dread, bloodthirst, fear, and destruction all packed… Frank began to think that it could even be some new kid of Abyssal Horror that could appear inside Dungeons, and was considering summoning Gram at any second to slay it.
However, when he met with the girl, amidst her face and her glowing crimson eyes, he found that her aura… her chaotic aura… was rather familiar.
He had petted and given a lot of comfort to a particular goddess of chaos before with a very similar aura, even…
"Ah! Frank! Frank, you came already!" she said, running towards Frank.
Frank didn't recognize her completely, and stepped back a bit, although her long and fluffy black hair, pale-white skin, crimson eyes, and the small horn certainly reminded him of someone…
"Eh? Don't you remember me? It is me, Axitl! In the flesh of a mortal now!" said the girl while puffing her nude chest proudly.
Frank was left a bit paralyzed, feeling as if such a statement was… more than the girl made it up to be so carefreely.
He knew that Axitl held immense power, if she were to descend to Terra, the entire area where she descended would explode and turn into ashes and a pool of chaotic miasma…
But right now this little girl wasn't doing any of that.
Certainly, her chaotic aura warped her surroundings a lot, but she was not doing THAT much chaos…
But she called herself Axitl anyways.
And she said, "in the flesh of a mortal now".
"Axitl?" asked Frank in disbelief.
"The very one! I constructed this Avatar to look more like a mortal, it is made of miasma like most monsters, so it could be said to be a mortal-shaped monster body…" said Axitl.
"An Avatar?! And you made it yourself? That's…" muttered Frank.
"Yeah, I know! Amazing, right? I know I am amazing…!" laughed Axitl.
Frank smiled a bit, she was indeed Axitl…
He quickly took away a large coat from his Inventory and put it over her nude body, after that, he hugged her tightly.
"I don't really get how you did it, and you better explain it afterward… But I am glad to see you again," said Frank gently, as he petted and caressed Axitl's fluffy black hair.
Axitl suddenly got all red, as she hugged Frank as well.
"W-Why so lovely all of the sudden?" she asked.
"Well, I know you did this so you could be more with me, right?" asked Frank.
"Eeh? N-Not at all!" said Axitl while pouting, although Frank was completely right.
