[You are about to enter a dungeon. Difficulty: Very Hard.]
[The Grunting Cave…]
What a weird fucking name, Clyde thought as the party made their way in.
[Airi activated Party Light.]
A volleyball-sized orb of light materialized in front of the group, hovering a few feet off the ground
. It slowly centered them, lighting up the dark, moist cave, which smelled of wet vegetation.
"Wow, it's been a while since I used this," Airi said. "Yep, your favorite Super Druid was once a noob herself."
Clyde was sure everyone could see in the dark just fine, but allowed it anyway. And the view of a brown chest made him smile. The young man almost stalked toward it, but Harumi's growl halted his feet. His mystic senses detected nothing. His eyes saw nothing.
"If you want first dibs, go for it," Clyde said. "I'm—"
"That's no chest," Harumi said.
Fuck. That could only mean one thing—an enemy in which gamers hated with a passion. The chest giggled. A bright light cloaked it for just a second until it turned into a girl who looked as if she wore a treasure box costume.
"You know this shit isn't funny," Clyde snapped. "And why are you here, anyway? No one comes out this way."
"Of course, they do," the mimic said. "My boss brings one and then later a friend tries to rescue the abductee. I don't understand why she won't let any of us take husband. Greed maybe?"
"None of what you said makes any sense," the young man said. He gave her an analyze.
The mimic was a girl with blue-green hair and blue eyes. Cheerful expression too. Her white clothing seemed a bit transparent. She wore two red ribbons. One on her head and of course the other covering her breasts, because the shirt she wore was cut that way. Anime fashion.
Mimic- Ila
Level: 107 (compressed.)
Type: Monster
Work under: Dungeon boss.
Special: Capture. [If she pulls you into the chest, you can forget about being in this nation anymore.] [Only works on men for some reason…]
Weakness: none.
Resistances: none.
Secret: she can actually teleport to different areas while waiting on the alarm set in her chest to go off.
"So even mimics," Clyde said.
"Indeed," Tear said.
[Your party has entered combat!]
The mimic gave them an innocent look.
"You're not going to…hurt me, are you?"
Tear shot her a blank stare.
"You know we're not going to fall for that, mimic."
Harumi blurred toward her and Clyde could almost wince at would've been a beatdown. The mimic blocked the attacks. Good. Wait…
[BCFUS multiplier.]
Harumi's fist flashed a white and green light. The next thing the young man saw was a mimic girl screaming as she flew backward at the speed of sound.
[BCFUS adjustment to Critical.]
[CRITICAL!]
[Ila's HP has dropped from 270% to 14%]
Airi had a short coughing fit before she got out the words.
"What in the tit."
The mimic girl stood, spitting to the side.
[Ila activated—]
[Harumi activated Lightning blast.]
[BCFUS multiplier.]
Clyde closed the BCFUS multiplier notice and set it to only show crucial boosts. He got it, his system was doing its job. Damned well. He winced when the electrical magic hit.
[Ila's HP has dropped to 0%]
[Battle completed. Victory! Reward: 58,000 EXP, 50,000 dollars and 1 sex potion.]
"Holy shit Harumi," Clyde said as the purple flames snuffed out. "Ass-kicking machine."
The pink-haired girl shrugged.
"It's way too early to celebrate."
Within minutes, the group encountered six goblins, which Tear struck down with a single ball of energy. Not wanting to get outdone, Airi soloed the next group of enemies—pumpkos—in just a few seconds. Clyde simply conserved his energy, searching for the bigger fish with his mystic senses.
They soon found themselves approaching another door, guarded by a monster girl.
"Ah, you're here to challenge my master and take the treasure. A very, very rare thing indeed." She chuckled. "Sadly, unlike the combatants you probably slain before this point, we are the real guardians. And we're not letting you take our relic."
Standing before them was yet another phantom with red clothing and flames this time. A videogame trope. Clichéd twin with different colors.
Volcanic Phantom- Nesi
Level: 150
Type: Monster
Work under: Dungeon boss.
Special: Ghostly violation!
Weakness: ice, light, and holy.
Resistances: dark and all of its attributes. Fire and all of its attributes.
Secret: the fires across her clothing don't actually burn nor have the temperature. It's an aura that brings pleasure to both men and women.
[Your party has entered combat!]
Clyde made the first dash, even used a flash step or two, just so the BCFUS-enhanced women wouldn't claim the first strike. Tear still did, unsheathing a black-steel blade from the air and colliding it against Nesi's steel.
"Do not underestimate me. I am an elite!"
Nesi tried to kick the succubus, but was met with a block. With one finger. Tear chuckled as the monster girl's eyes widened.
Tear's tail spawned, curled around the leg, hurling Nesi into the air. She aimed a hand at her foe.
"Absolute."
[Tear activated Special tier skill: Absolute.]
[BCFUS adjustment. Critical.]
Tear's attack seemed to consist of two phases. A lightning bolt raining down from nothingness, following by a giant burst of magic.
Somehow Nesi didn't take much damage. From all of that… it had to be the resistances, right? But Tear knew that—based on the previous battle, she used a wind skill. That wasn't dark magic. The prompt revealed the answer.
[Nesi used Shield of endurance.]
[Nesi's HP has dropped to 200%]
[Harumi activated tier 2 skill: Kitsune's thunderstorm!]
Nesi rolled when she hit the ground, dodging the lightning strikes, right into Clyde's awaiting magic. He even grinned evilly for the occasion.
[Clyde activated tier 2 skill: Blizzard.]
[Tier 2 skill: Blizzard: Type: ice. Class: very rare. Unleash a portable blizzard on your foes. Does Heavy Ice damage.]
[WEAKNESS EXPLOITED!]
Suddenly, the party found themselves staring at a frozen work of art.
[Nesi was frozen! Freeze still holds!]
[Airi activated Bronze tier skill: Warhammer fist!]
Everyone moved as the purple-haired girl smashed the sculpture to bits with a glowing fist.
"Finally putting that to use," she said. "And not on a cheating man, like I originally thought I'd do."
The women giggled. Clyde simply rolled his eyes.
"Let's see what's behind door number one," he said as it opened.
[Battle completed! Victory! Reward: 350,000 EXP and 1 bottle of Holstaur breast milk.]
Clyde somehow managed to keep a straight face for that one. But hey, at least he was getting loot, right? What did it…taste like?
Shrugging off the thought, the young man led his party into the boss room.
A few meters ahead, a golden chest awaited them, but of course it was doused in chains and a lock.
**
Celestial Medical Holding Center…
Titania awoke with the full fury of an extremely powerful fairy ruler. Because of that wench catching her off guard with some kind of spell, she ended up humiliated by an entity. A rather cocky one at that.
She observed the surrounding area then looked at the supposed anti-magic bracelets on her wrists and legs.
"As if something like this can hold me," Titania said softly.
<Titania called upon Green ki.>
<Titania channeled Air cutter>
The moment the fairy queen was free, an angel walked into the room. She gasped at the broken restraints. She didn't get the chance to sound the alarm—all it took was a simple slap of fairy dust and the angel women fell. Not dead, just asleep.
[Titania activated Special tier skill: Dimensional Warp.]
Light engulfed her with a goal to take the woman back to Lot City... And without the restraint of a sneak-attack, mind control…
The lust continued to pulse within the fairy. She figured the angels were only trying to remove it, but Titania didn't have time to wait for them to figure it out. And to think not a single deity stopped by to pay their respects to a fellow denizen. Even a simple human 'hello' would do. She'd be giving the master of this region an earful the next time she returned.
**
Grunting Cave Boss Area….
In a large room of violet stone and crystal floods, Clyde could feel the intense magic of the powerful being they approached. She lounged in a chair, reading something.
And she was naked, with a black cloak. Purple-white hair draped just past her neck. Her skin tone seemed slightly purple-grey. As if the theme didn't match the monster girl enough, her eyes, took the violet cake. The jewels embedded onto bracelets and a strange necklace, matched the theme.
An analysis revealed what they faced.
Asu, Master of Hallowsfer Dungeon.
Level: 464
Type: Lich.
Work under: N/A
Special: ???
Weakness: holy.
Resistances: dark and its attributes.
Secret: she is one of the creators of the Sex potion.
Clyde allowed his eyes to stop widening. Every day, he learned something new.
"Are you seriously one of the original founders of the sex potion?"
The beautiful monster girl looked at him then smiled.
"I'm recruiting," she said in a soft-spoken tone. "I…could use a husband to—"
"You know where you can shove that offer," Airi said.
"Level four hundred sixty-four," Clyde said softly. "Fuck."
"I don't know about this," Harumi said. "There's only four of us…"
The lich smiled.
"You've made it past my guards and now cower in fear? Alas, this is a research facility, somewhat. As an introductory, I shall show you some tests of my potion-in-progress." She waved a hand. The stony walls became transparent. There, they witnessed at least twenty men being done by monster girls. And true to the cave's name, the sound of grunts filled the room. Another wave and the walls were solid purple stone again, the sounds of sex gone.
"There are some volunteers in there, but that's not important. I need someone to do a direct test on me…Someone worthy."
Clyde invoked Mystic wrath. He didn't expect the boss to be this fucking strong. He reached for the power, but was met with a block. An invisible wall between him and his source of…oh fuck.
Asu gave the young man an evil grin.
"Now, now, we can't have that."
((Asu had triggered Connection to Soul Block))
"Are you okay, Clyde?" Tear said.
"She cut me off from the power," Clyde said as he fell to a knee, panting.
Harumi shifted into Kitsune form. Airi allowed a lot of green aura to radiate from her. Tear…well, her presence was just enough to remind the young man that despite being magically crippled, he was not alone. Damn, he should've brought Natalia to top off the OP cake with a cherry.
"Well, are you going to attack me?" Asu said, smiling.
[Your party has entered a *SUPER BOSS fight!]
"I can't activate the high chant," Airi said, worried. "I won't be able to connect you to nature."
"There goes my god of wisdom hope," Clyde said softly. He stood, activating all of his buffs. "I'm under-leveled and cut off from the power. I'll be relying on you three until I can break out of her spell."
That new prompt…What was triggering? Wait…there's channeling and now this. A form of essence he couldn't sense.
"If you won't make the first move, I will," the lich said.
((Asu triggered Halve))
[Your defense has been halved]
[Asu activated Special tier skill: Uninvited Tormentor. This is an unblockable attack!]
Clyde and his party dodged as the black magic smashed into the floor, leaving behind a smoky fifteen-feet crater. It sealed itself seconds later.
"Tsk." Asu teleported by Clyde but the young man's mystic senses were in overdrive thanks to Mystic wrath. He dodged all of her attacks then kicked her backward.
[Clyde activated Mystic lightning.]
[Tear activated Double Raid Ender]
[Harumi activated: Kitsune's Thunderstorm.]
[Airi activated: Solar beam.]
"Airi you can't go ripping off attacks from other…never mind," Clyde said then got to moving. His party too, knowing damned well that staying still why a Super boss moved about was just asking to get beat down.
[Asu's HP has dropped from 800 to 770%]
"Only thirty percent damage," Clyde said.
[Your defense has returned to normal.]
Asu teleported to an isolated section of the large room, raising a hand.
((Asu triggered Mass shock))
[- Mystic Calm: 100% resistant to fear, despair, discomfort, and shock. [Mystic Passive.]
[Clyde is unaffected due to Mystic Calm.]
[Tear is unaffected.]
[Airi is unaffected.]
[Harumi's natural Kitsune barrier reflected the attack.]
Asu sighed.
((Asu triggered—))
[Tear activated Special tier skill: Person Eater.]
Her magic pulled Asu into the air, exploding seconds later.
[CRITICAL! TECHNICAL!]
[Asu's HP dropped to 690%]
Asu chuckled.
"I must watch that one, she who hides her true power."
The lich teleported next to Harumi, but was met with an electrical fist-smash to the face, followed by a spin-kick.
[Asu's HP dropped to 680%]
((Asu triggered Sleep))
Harumi collapsed.
[Asu activated Special tier skill: Hell's Mary.]
A pillar of energy and flame plunged down on the kitsune before anyone could get to her.
[Harumi's HP has dropped to 103%]
[Harumi has snapped out of Sleep]
[Harumi is dazed.]
Clyde and Airi engaged Asu in a flurry of missing attacks. Tear attended to the fox girl. So much for "breaking" the spell. He was sure they could—
[Asu activated Special tier skill: Erupting flame whirling kick.]
The kick rocketed Clyde until he felt the painful scene of back meeting stone. The wall even dented.
[Clyde's HP dropped to 120%]
[Clyde was inflicted with smoke blight.]
His sight went blurry as the smell of smoke invaded his nostrils. With Harumi still out and Tear helping her, he couldn't immediately rely on her healing.
[HP: 120%]
[MP: 210%]
[Status alignments: smoke blight, Soul-blocked.]
He quickly downed two super health potions, wincing against the sour taste.
[Your HP has been restored to 280%]
Clyde was already tired of this bitch. He'd use his head. Even without the Power, he could still hit her with something that would hurt. Seeming to sense the challenge with the young man, Asu stalked toward him, ignoring Airi.
Clyde flashed stepped to her side, causing the lich to gasp as he aimed his hand.
[Clyde activated his special attack, tier 1 skill: Omen's desolation.]
[Tier 1 skill: Omen's Desolation. Does almighty, spiritual, and sound damage. Chance to cause hopelessness and despair. Triple, super-severe damage against entities, deities, spirits, and darkness-type enemies.]
The magic blasted her the fuck back. And she still lived, laughing.
[Your MP has dropped to 115%]
[Asu's HP dropped to 400%]
"For a second there, I thought you were going to hurt me," Asu said laughing. She dodged Harumi's burst of lightning, as well as Tear and Airi's magic.
Snarling, Clyde raised a hand. If her level wasn't so damned high, the lich would've experienced a multitude of status alignments.
[Clyde activated tier 1 skill: Star Storm!]
[Tier 1 skill: Star Storm 1: Type: light, earth. Class: very rare. Summon a shower of light and earth energy upon your enemies. Chance to inflict repentance at 2%. Chance to paralyze at 1%.]
Asu's eyes widened.
"I can't teleport."
[Harumi used Thunder stomp.]
[Asu was successfully stunned.]
Clyde's magic slammed onto her. He knew it wouldn't kill the lich, but the young man just wanted to rack up as much rage damage as possible. That's when something strange happened. Asu fell to her knees, crying.
"I've seen the light! The great revolution. I throw down my dark, pitiful ways and I give myself to the light. For the Stone has come! I repent!"
[Asu was inflicted with *repentance.]
[Asu has lost the will to fight.]
[Battle completed! Victory!]
"Master!" The monster girl anime-dove into Clyde. "Here, take the key, my lord. And maybe…" she blushed. "You'd let me service you. May you add my virginity to your pool of power."
Everyone comedically fell backward.
Well…a victory was a victory. And at last, the party obtained the key to the golden chest.
Clyde could not get the clingy monster girl off him. He unlocked the chest. There, was a red gemstone the size of a basketball, coated in a golden aura.
[You have found Heartcore. Item class: *Relic.* There are many incredible uses for a source of power as special as this. It is also a highly sought collector's items especially among liches, magicians, and demons.]
"Well Tear," Clyde said as he sent the item to his inventory. "We've got this."
The succubus hurried to the young man, kicked Asu to the side, and hugged the shit out of her fiancée.
"Thank you," she whispered. "My husband, protecting me."
Clyde felt his face reach nuclear hot, but relished in Tear's soft embrace.
[You are about to enter a dungeon. Difficulty: Very Hard.]
[The Grunting Cave…]
What a weird fucking name, Clyde thought as the party made their way in.
[Airi activated Party Light.]
A volleyball-sized orb of light materialized in front of the group, hovering a few feet off the ground
. It slowly centered them, lighting up the dark, moist cave, which smelled of wet vegetation.
"Wow, it's been a while since I used this," Airi said. "Yep, your favorite Super Druid was once a noob herself."
Clyde was sure everyone could see in the dark just fine, but allowed it anyway. And the view of a brown chest made him smile. The young man almost stalked toward it, but Harumi's growl halted his feet. His mystic senses detected nothing. His eyes saw nothing.
"If you want first dibs, go for it," Clyde said. "I'm—"
"That's no chest," Harumi said.
Fuck. That could only mean one thing—an enemy in which gamers hated with a passion. The chest giggled. A bright light cloaked it for just a second until it turned into a girl who looked as if she wore a treasure box costume.
"You know this shit isn't funny," Clyde snapped. "And why are you here, anyway? No one comes out this way."
"Of course, they do," the mimic said. "My boss brings one and then later a friend tries to rescue the abductee. I don't understand why she won't let any of us take husband. Greed maybe?"
"None of what you said makes any sense," the young man said. He gave her an analyze.
The mimic was a girl with blue-green hair and blue eyes. Cheerful expression too. Her white clothing seemed a bit transparent. She wore two red ribbons. One on her head and of course the other covering her breasts, because the shirt she wore was cut that way. Anime fashion.
Mimic- Ila
Level: 107 (compressed.)

Weakness: none.

Secret: she can actually teleport to different areas while waiting on the alarm set in her chest to go off.
"So even mimics," Clyde said.
"Indeed," Tear said.
[Your party has entered combat!]
The mimic gave them an innocent look.
"You're not going to…hurt me, are you?"
Tear shot her a blank stare.
"You know we're not going to fall for that, mimic."
Harumi blurred toward her and Clyde could almost wince at would've been a beatdown. The mimic blocked the attacks. Good. Wait…

Harumi's fist flashed a white and green light. The next thing the young man saw was a mimic girl screaming as she flew backward at the speed of sound.
[BCFUS adjustment to Critical.]
[CRITICAL!]
[Ila's HP has dropped from 270% to 14%]
Airi had a short coughing fit before she got out the words.
"What in the tit."
The mimic girl stood, spitting to the side.
[Ila activated—]
[Harumi activated Lightning blast.]
[BCFUS multiplier.]
Clyde closed the BCFUS multiplier notice and set it to only show crucial boosts. He got it, his system was doing its job. Damned well. He winced when the electrical magic hit.
[Ila's HP has dropped to 0%]
[Battle completed. Victory! Reward: 58,000 EXP, 50,000 dollars and 1 sex potion.]
"Holy shit Harumi," Clyde said as the purple flames snuffed out. "Ass-kicking machine."
The pink-haired girl shrugged.
"It's way too early to celebrate."
Within minutes, the group encountered six goblins, which Tear struck down with a single ball of energy. Not wanting to get outdone, Airi soloed the next group of enemies—pumpkos—in just a few seconds. Clyde simply conserved his energy, searching for the bigger fish with his mystic senses.
They soon found themselves approaching another door, guarded by a monster girl.
"Ah, you're here to challenge my master and take the treasure. A very, very rare thing indeed." She chuckled. "Sadly, unlike the combatants you probably slain before this point, we are the real guardians. And we're not letting you take our relic."

Clyde made the first dash, even used a flash step or two, just so the BCFUS-enhanced women wouldn't claim the first strike. Tear still did, unsheathing a black-steel blade from the air and colliding it against Nesi's steel.
"Do not underestimate me. I am an elite!"
Nesi tried to kick the succubus, but was met with a block. With one finger. Tear chuckled as the monster girl's eyes widened.

[Tier 2 skill: Blizzard: Type: ice. Class: very rare. Unleash a portable blizzard on your foes. Does Heavy Ice damage.]
[WEAKNESS EXPLOITED!]
Suddenly, the party found themselves staring at a frozen work of art.
[Nesi was frozen! Freeze still holds!]
[Airi activated Bronze tier skill: Warhammer fist!]
Everyone moved as the purple-haired girl smashed the sculpture to bits with a glowing fist.
"Finally putting that to use," she said. "And not on a cheating man, like I originally thought I'd do."

"You've made it past my guards and now cower in fear? Alas, this is a research facility, somewhat. As an introductory, I shall show you some tests of my potion-in-progress." She waved a hand.

[Tier 1 skill: Omen's Desolation. Does almighty, spiritual, and sound damage. Chance to cause hopelessness and despair. Triple, super-severe damage against entities, deities, spirits, and darkness-type enemies.]
The magic blasted her the fuck back. And she still lived, laughing.
[Your MP has dropped to 115%]
[Asu's HP dropped to 400%]
"For a second there, I thought you were going to hurt me," Asu said laughing. She dodged Harumi's burst of lightning, as well as Tear and Airi's magic.
Snarling, Clyde raised a hand. If her level wasn't so damned high, the lich would've experienced a multitude of status alignments.
[Clyde activated tier 1 skill: Star Storm!]
[Tier 1 skill: Star Storm 1: Type: light, earth. Class: very rare. Summon a shower of light and earth energy upon your enemies. Chance to inflict repentance at 2%. Chance to paralyze at 1%.]
Asu's eyes widened.
"I can't teleport."
[Harumi used Thunder stomp.]
[Asu was successfully stunned.]
Clyde's magic slammed onto her. He knew it wouldn't kill the lich, but the young man just wanted to rack up as much rage damage as possible. That's when something strange happened. Asu fell to her knees, crying.
"I've seen the light! The great revolution. I throw down my dark, pitiful ways and I give myself to the light. For the Stone has come! I repent!"
[Asu was inflicted with *repentance.]
[Asu has lost the will to fight.]
[Battle completed! Victory!]
"Master!" The monster girl anime-dove into Clyde. "Here, take the key, my lord. And maybe…" she blushed. "You'd let me service you. May you add my virginity to your pool of power."
Everyone comedically fell backward.
Well…a victory was a victory. And at last, the party obtained the key to the golden chest.
Clyde could not get the clingy monster girl off him. He unlocked the chest. There, was a red gemstone the size of a basketball, coated in a golden aura.
[You have found Heartcore. Item class: *Relic.* There are many incredible uses for a source of power as special as this. It is also a highly sought collector's items especially among liches, magicians, and demons.]
"Well Tear," Clyde said as he sent the item to his inventory. "We've got this."
The succubus hurried to the young man, kicked Asu to the side, and hugged the shit out of her fiancée.
"Thank you," she whispered. "My husband, protecting me."
Clyde felt his face reach nuclear hot, but relished in Tear's soft embrace.
