Chapter 893 Aquarina Likes Roleplay
-----
"I'm glad there wasn't any problems here while we fought Arachne." I sighed in relief. "Did you took good care of Zephy, Nephilim?"
"I did my best to protect him and the city, but thanks to Lord Arafunn's Spirits protecting the city with their Wind Magic, even if anything showed up, they would had been promptly dealt with!" Nephilim said with a proud smile.
"Well yeah, it's rather strange that she didn't attacked the city while we were all distracted." My mother began to wonder. "Maybe she lacked resources? She had prepared a whole plan to defeat you guys after all. Ugh, and where's that Arafunn now? Is he still sleeping?"
"Correct, yesterday he drank a lot of alcohol, so the Hero has been sleeping on his room since then." Nephilim nodded. "He had yet to wake up even when you summoned me here… Where am I, by the way?" She began wondering this after she was in her fourth bear steak.
"This is my dungeon." I said, as I explained her a bit of it to her, so she could get the gist of things.
"Oh, like what the gods can do! Incredible, I couldn't had expected anything less from my lady." Nephilim smiled proudly.
"Yeah, yeah, just don't get too touchy with her…" Aquarina's eyes were glowing bright red, but she was holding back.
"Don't be so jealous, geez…" I facepalmed. "A-Anyways, I wonder what's Lolth up to now, I doubt she's gone, we were only able to hurt a part of her after all."
"Hmm, when Evil Gods become as weakened as she has, there's little for you to worry about." My father smiled. "Right, Agni?"
"Nom, nom… Hm? Ah, that spider woman? Yeah, don't worry about that, brat!" Laughed the giant dragon made of flames, manifesting out of the sword as he ate a huge roasted shark. "Evil Gods tend to die off when they get too hurt like she did, she really risked herself there, the other Evil Gods are going to find her and eat her, that's what they do."
"T-They hunt one another?! What are they? Rabid rats or something?" Asked Celeste in surprise. "Do the other Gods do that too?"
"No, only Evil Gods are insane enough to hunt one another. They do this to gain power quickly. Usually they never fight because it's not worth the hassle and risk, but when there's someone so wounded that fighting her would be of little risk, they'll all begin to chase her to eat her." Laughed the Ancient Dragon. "Funny thing for sure! They're doing the job for us, those madmen."
"Though, whoever gets to eat her might gain more power… And could sometimes inherit her will to an extent." Sighed my mother. "Well, for now, I doubt they'll target us anymore, they know what we are capable of, and what you are capable of too, my daughter. Also, the Gods are watching over the populated areas, they will not let wild evil gods do as they please. If they ever get too close, you might suddenly see a very bright lightning strike hit an invisible area in the sky, that's a God attacking an Evil God."
"W-Wow, so that's a thing… Alright, let's just not talk more about this and enjoy the day!" I said, drinking some coconut and mango juice.
We enjoyed the feast while eating below a big shadow made by some parasols we crafted using the long leaves of the plants in the tropical island, it was a lively and fun dinner, and with Luck and Lara as our new team addition, there were even more mouths to feed, we cooked for way longer than I imagined.
"Phew, I'm beat…" Luck said while caressing his belly, it had grown a bit too large.
"I ate a lot…" Lara wasn't any different.
"You guys are real beasts! How much did you even eat?!" Celeste was shocked. "Luck did you just eat a whole bear?"
"Hahaha!" Luck only laughed.
"I-I ate half a bear… Burp." Lara giggled, covering her face. "Oh, my bad."
Despite how angelic she looked, she had a lot of the same traits as Luck, and one of them was a big lack of manners! My mother only let that slide through because they had just gotten here.
But I can already expect her teaching her and Luck a lot about manners, educating them so they could behave well before nobility… Bleh, well, it's a necessity but bleh.
After our feast, we moved on, this time, Aquarina's familiar, Pyuku, our beloved Slime Friend, grew to an immense size and helped us travel across the oceans, sitting over his huge, slimy surface.
"Thanks for carrying us over, Pyuku! You've been growing stronger and smarter lately!" Aquarina caressed her Familiar.
"Pyuuuu! Pyuukyuu~!"
Aquarina other Spirits, such as Leviathan Jr. and Undine Spirit really liked this place. They were usually much shier than my Spirits, and couldn't talk like mine either, but this time they were quite expressive.
Maybe I could give them System Seeds too, Aquarina got herself one, so why not her Spirits? They don't seem to have changed much since they were born, so a System to help them evolve would be ideal.
Then again, I also need to let Luck and Lara Rank Up, as they've hit Max Level, and also, I had been thinking about giving System Seeds to the rest of my friends too! And maybe my parents.
After seeing how they hit their limit in that battle against Lolth, I started to think that there might be still a lot of room for them to keep improving.
And that talk that Agni said about there being Monsters of Tiers above 10… It made me think that there must be a much wider world out there, one that my parents need to keep growing stronger to face at my side.
Though, it isn't going to be quick, as I can't make as many System Seeds as I want all the time, Alice needs to rest and all… For now, let's just enjoy the present and leave the other stuff for later.
"Wow, so this is that castle we saw at the distance!" Aquarina was amazed. "So cool! You've got your own castle! We're already queens of a kingdom then!"
"I-It's not really a kingdom, Aquarina." I laughed. "But well, if you want to think that it's fine too, my queen~" I kissed her hand.
"Kyaaah! I like the sound of it!" She was really into the roleplay.
We explored the Coral Castle with my family. My mother was frantically and excitedly analyzing the entire place, from the formation of the golems to the large quantities of Mana flowing everywhere.
"Fascinating! I never thought I would see the day to find out how Golems are born inside Dungeons! To think they just grow out of the walls! I guess it makes sense!" She said.
"It's really quite something!" My father agreed.
We ended spending the entire day exploring my Dungeon's third floor, we explored the Coral Castle, and had dinner there before finally walking out of the dungeon and directly to bed.
The next morning, we prepared ourselves to take a stroll outside Agartha, into the Emerald Forest and the Fishman King's Dungeon in look for materials to add to my Dungeon's biodiversity.
