Chapter 530 – 530: Utilizing The Octopus
◈-LANT SIDE
Tikia’s research into her reclusive mask was going smoothly, and I was also resolving my beloved’s worries, so peaceful days continued.
Of course, those peaceful days included dungeon exploration.
The current floor we’ve reached is the 20th.
It’s the floor with the metal skeletons.
Quite some time has passed since we reached this floor.
In the past, we would have quickly defeated the metal skeletons and moved on to the next floor, but…
There’s a reason for this.
It’s because of Niña’s advice.
Up to the 20th floor is the domain of B-rank adventurers.
And the 21st floor is where A-rank adventurers operate.
As proof, there aren’t many adventurers on the 20th floor, which can be considered the highest level for B-ranks.
That means the 20th floor is difficult and requires skill.
When we first arrived on the 20th floor, even Niña and Noah had a bit of trouble.
In Tikia’s case, she didn’t struggle much since she could enhance her magic power for attacks.
To improve the skills of the two of them and to coordinate with the newly joined Gracia and Lyfa, we stayed on the 20th floor longer than usual.
But that’s about to end.
Even Noah, who was the biggest concern, can now easily defeat metal skeletons, and Niña also upgraded her spear at the smithy.
Our coordination with Gracia and Lyfa is now seamless, even when all four of them are facing me at the same time.
Just in case, Elsie and Tikia also received training from Niña and Gracia, and have grown to be able to handle close combat to some extent.
Moreover, everyone has leveled up once while constantly hunting on the 20th floor, greatly increasing their abilities!
We could say that we’re fully prepared.
Then it’s time to move on to the next stage.
“Is everyone ready?”
“Yes!”
“Let’s go, let’s go!”
“I’m excited to go to the next floor.”
“I’ll blow away all the monsters on the 21st floor with my magic!”
“I’m ready.”
“Let’s go quickly, darling!”
“Then, let’s depart!”
I used telekinesis to lift my lovers gathered on the 20th floor and immediately flew towards the 21st floor.
My control of telekinesis has become quite proficient, so it didn’t take long to move to the stairs leading down to the 21st floor.
And after arriving at the stairs, we walked down to the 21st floor.
After passing through the black space connecting the dungeon floors, which we hadn’t seen in a while, we could see the scenery of the 21st floor.
“Ooh…”
“This is the 21st floor…”
“It’s a bit different from the other places.”
Until now, the floors were forests, plains, swamps, or deserts, but the 21st floor was… there were many places like lake puddles here and there.
“Huh? That’s…”
While looking down, I saw an adventurer in full plate armor wielding a halberd, someone I’d seen before.
It was Jen.
After going down to the warp device and finishing the registration, I told my lovers to wait for a moment and approached Jen.
“Hyaap!”
*Slash!*
“Nild!”
“Speed!”
Jen was in the middle of fighting the monsters of the 21st floor with a middle-aged man who seemed to be a priest.
With the priest’s buffs, Jen moved at high speed and instantly sliced through the monster in front of him.
A giant octopus monster the size of an adult man.
Jen quickly sliced off the Land Octopus’s eight legs, and finished by cutting off its large head, then immediately retreated.
*Swoosh!*
Black ink shot into the sky, staining the surroundings black.
“Your skills are as impressive as ever, Jen.”
“Hoo. Your accurate support magic is still the same.”
I approached the two of them, who were praising each other, and called out to Jen.
“Jen!”
“Huh? Well, if it isn’t Lant.”
Jen looked at me with a bright expression.
“You’ve reached the 21st floor. Did you come alone?”
“Yes! I just arrived! Ah, everyone’s over there by the warp device.”
When I pointed towards my lovers, Jen leaned his halberd on his shoulder and said.
“Hahaha, it hasn’t even been half a year since you came to Pludan, Lant, and you’re already on the 21st floor with your companions… As expected of an S-rank! Well… if it were just you, you would have come even faster.”
“I like adventuring, but I want to do it with my companions.”
“Yes, that’s a good mindset. Oh, by the way, this friend here is new to you, right? Nild, this is… well, no explanation is needed, right?”
“Of course. There’s no one in Pludan who doesn’t know the Dungeon Crasher.”
The priest next to Jen bowed his head to me and said.
“Hello, I am Nild, a B-rank adventurer and priest. Elsie is always in your care.”
“Do you know Elsie?”
“Of course. We’ve lived together in the temple.”
Come to think of it, Elsie is an orphan who grew up in the temple.
So it was natural that she knew the priests who lived in the temple.
“Lan~t!”
At that moment, my lovers, led by Noah, approached us.
“Ah, Priest Nild!”
Elsie looked happy as soon as she saw Nild.
“Hello, Elsie. I’m glad you seem to be doing well.”
“Yes, yes! Have you been well too, Priest Nild?”
“Of course. To think that Elsie is already a B-rank adventurer. Hahaha, I’ve been caught up to.”
At Nild’s words, Elsie’s face turned red and she waved her hands.
“N-no! It’s all thanks to Lant and my companions! There’s no way I could catch up to Priest Nild…”
“Humility is important. But you must also acknowledge your own skills, Elsie. The Adventurer’s Guild does not give the B-rank qualification to those who only rely on their companions’ strength. So, have more confidence in yourself. If your companions’ strength was significant, then strive to be more helpful to your companions this time.”
“Ah, yes! Thank you!”
Nild, who was teaching Elsie about mindset, looked very kind.
A typical clergyman style who leads young children on the right path!
It’s very nice to see.
But even if he’s a clergyman, considering Solario… especially the scenery of Sol, the “holy” in clergyman feels more like the “lustful” in clergyman.
Lustful clergyman.
Middle-aged priest.
Octopus!
My imagination is running wild.
Nild, a priest of Soli, who governs life and creation!
He has a duty to give the necessary experience to the novice priests who have just become adults.
That is the opening of their sexuality!
Nild, being a man, is in charge of opening the sexuality of the female priests!
Nild thought!
Life and creation are good!
But what if he did it himself and a child was born!
New life should be blessed, but it is necessary to prevent accidental births without their consent!
Then he thought of monster taming!
The inspiration of Soli that descended upon Nild, who was desperately wishing!
Nild tames several Land Octopuses and makes the novice female priests realize the opening of their sexuality!
The Land Octopuses, after special training, use their tentacles to attach suction cups to the naked bodies of the female novice priests, gently sucking and increasing their sensitivity, and inserting their tentacles into the three holes of the mouth, vagina, and anus, injecting a pleasant pleasure so that they can enjoy any penis!
『Is there a version where Nild does it himself?』
The legs of the Land Octopus were wiggling so much, I tried it with a tentacle fetish.
Today’s fap material is decided!
◈
Jen, Nild, and my lovers greeted each other briefly and then talked.
“Is the 21st floor your current floor, Jen?”
“No, we’re on the 45th floor. We came today because we were asked for Land Octopus materials.”
“I see. Should we help you?”
“No, it’s okay. Unlike the flood, I don’t need your help. If I need your help, Lant… I’ll ask you when I need to gather materials from monsters in the 40s.”
“Yes.”
“By the way…”
Jen glanced at my lovers and said.
“Just looking at the gender ratio, it looks like a noble hired female adventurers to come and play. Hahahaha! A harem party!”
“Ahahaha…”
My party consists of all my lovely lovers except for me.
It’s literally a harem party.
“Well, if you’re skilled enough, it doesn’t matter. Right, Nild?”
“Yes, if you’re skilled and have good coordination, it doesn’t matter what gender or how many people there are. And… as a priest who serves Soli, Lant, you seem very desirable. May I ask… do you plan to marry all of your lovers?”
At Nild’s question, I nodded confidently.
“Yes! I’ve already bought a mansion to live in together.”
“Oh, that’s a very good decision. I hope you create many lives under the teachings of Soli. Elsie, do your best too.”
“Ah…♡ Yes, yes♡ If, if Lant wants, I want to have as many… lovely children as possible♡”
I also want to have as many children as possible with my beloved Elsie.
…But I also want to have sex, so I want to take about a year after giving birth.
“That’s very commendable, Elsie. It’s no wonder Priestess Misha praises Elsie so much.”
“Huh? D-did Priestess Misha praise me like that?”
“Yes, she says she’s happy that Elsie seems to have grown so much.”
“Ah… I’m happy.”
“Hey, hey, Jen~. Is there any trick to catching Land Octopuses?”
When Noah asked, Jen tapped the ink on the floor with his halberd and said.
“First, be careful not to touch this ink. If it hits your face, your vision will be completely black and it won’t come off easily, which will interfere with the fight. And you should also be careful of the tentacles. Their suction power is strong, so once you’re caught, it’s not easy to get out.
To catch them in one go, aim for the magic stone hidden in their forehead, or cut off all the tentacles to neutralize them.”
“So, speed is the most important thing?”
“You could say that. Land Octopuses are strong against blunt weapons, so it might be disadvantageous for Hoyeom.”
At Jen’s advice, Lyfa snorted and grinned.
“Hmph! It’s enough to just punch them with a punch that will work, right? Besides…”
Lyfa gathered magic power and surrounded her fist with flames.
“If necessary, I can just make octopus skewers.”
Land Octopus skewers…
Would they be delicious?
When I get back, I’ll ask Kelban.
“Are you and Nild going to hunt more, Jen?”
“Yes, we’ve only caught three so far.”
Then we can’t be a hindrance by staying nearby.
“Then we’ll go further ahead and hunt. Good luck, Jen, Nild.”
“Okay, good luck to you too.”
“May fortune be with you.”
After saying goodbye to the two of them, I used telekinesis to fly my lovers into the air and towards the middle of the 21st floor.
“…That’s amazing.”
“Hahahaha! It’ll be easy when we hunt together next time!”
◈
When we reached the middle part and looked down, there were swarms of Land Octopuses.
Since the 21st floor is the domain of A-rank adventurers, there were fewer adventurers, and the number of monsters living there had increased accordingly.
“Hmm… Should I clear them with telekinesis?”
“No, leave this to me, Lant.”
Tikia took out her staff, gathered magic power, and said.
“Seeing them gathered in such large numbers reminds me of when we hunted the ogre groups. It was the best feeling to take them all down at once!”
“Are you going to use Cosmo Impact?”
“No. I’m going to use fire magic this time.”
“Fire magic?”
Tikia is an elemental master.
Of course, she can use fire magic.
But it was a bit strange that Tikia, who usually insisted on using original magic except when doing tricks, was using fire magic.
“I think those guys would taste good if they were grilled. I want to try it.”
No way!
Tikia had the same thought as me!
Is this what it means for lovers to be on the same wavelength!
It’s very touching.
“Huh? Are you going to eat that?”
“W-would it be delicious?”
Noah tilted her head and Elsie expressed her doubts.
“We can eat orcs and minotaurs deliciously, so…”
Tikia pointed her staff towards the ground and shouted.
“These guys will be delicious too! Fire Tornado!”
*Whoosh!*
A magic circle appeared on the ground, and at the same time, a vortex of flames was created, sucking in the surrounding Land Octopuses.
“Hahahaha!! Get nicely grilled!”
Tikia’s cute and loud laughter spread far and wide.
Watching the Land Octopuses being helplessly grilled in the vortex of flames, I thought.
…Wouldn’t it be more delicious to blanch them in water before grilling them?
