Hello everyone~~ I’m Pupil! Even after clearing the dungeon post-Dragon Deity boss, I felt zero joy in exploring it. Heck, the final Dragon Deity got knocked out by a random meteor summoned from set attributes.
[Ready?? The floor 20 boss is right ahead.]
Luna pointed at the massive stone door before us.
Yep! To actually enjoy dungeon crawling, we re-entered together. After grinding through twenty floors, we finally stood before the boss chamber.
[Let’s go!! Time for a proper boss fight this time!!!]
I swapped to weaker gear just to make it last longer.
[All set~~ Heads-up: I won’t fight~~ Though I know you’re strong!!]
Luna winked playfully at me.
[No worries with hubby here!!]
[I roughly know Pupil’s strength.... It’s just unbelievable.]
[Bro’s strong but a total pervert.]
[Shut it! No one thinks you’re mute—eat your waffle!!]
I stuffed Phyllis’s waffle into her mouth.
[No! Don’t!! Not in my mouth!!]
Ignore Phyllis. Seriously, why does this loli Darkblade spew nothing but dirty jokes? Did our lewd in-game chats corrupt her?
[Quiet! Door’s opening~~]
Luna pushed the stone door wide.
Here it comes!!! My long-awaited third boss battle.
We stepped into the dim lord’s chamber.
[Thump~]
[Thump]
A hopping sound echoed in the gloom.
What’s this boss!? My palms sweated with nervous excitement—I’d begged Aerin not to spoil it for surprise’s sake.
Torches flared to life. The door slammed shut behind us.
[It’s here!!! Boss appeared!!!]
A colossal figure materialized at the room’s center!
Aerin and Tia snapped into battle stances.
[........................]
Phyllis gulped loudly beside me.
A fishy seafood stench filled the air.
Fine, I quit! What garbage dungeon is this?
[Huh!? Pupil, you’re not fighting??]
[You two handle it~~ Train with Tia.]
I strolled to Phyllis, grabbed a waffle from her pack, and munched beside her.
[Hey!!! No way!! We can’t win alone!!!]
[Can’t win!? It’s just a Magikarp!!!! That dumb hopping Magikarp!!!]
Dungeon Floor 20 Lord: Magikarp Level 50
Seriously! The boss was a giant red-scaled Magikarp bouncing mindlessly on the floor—dull eyes, same lazy name!
[Hubby said so! Let’s fight!!! I feel way stronger now!]
Tia was right. Their levels had jumped to 50 and 45 after training.
[Just in case~ Magic markers on you two~~]
I tagged them with protective spells.
[I’m going in!!!!]
Aerin charged instantly. Respect—still hyped over a Magikarp. He lunged, spear thrusting at the hopping fish.
[Thump~~ Thump~~~ Th... thump]
Magikarp croaked.
Seriously!? Only hops!? Dies that easy!? Where’s the floor 20 challenge?
As Aerin’s victory seemed certain, the Magikarp glowed white.
[Is this...?!]
Evolving!? Right! Magikarp evolves into the mighty Dragon-type Gyarados!!
Alright!! Fired up now.
The light faded. I opened my eyes, ready for an epic duel with Gyarados.
[.................................]
[Where’s Gyarados!? Why’d it grow human arms and legs!?!?]
The evolved Magikarp crawled on all fours like a cockroach.
[Pupil!! Help!! This form’s the Human Ripper! It tears humans apart and swallows them whole!!]
Aerin screamed, scrambling as the thing chased him.
Its cockroach-like crawl made my stomach churn.
[Goddess of Flame, grant me power~~ Solar flames, incinerate this foe!! Flame Vortex!!!]
Fire swirled before Tia’s Magic Staff. A blazing vortex erupted under the Magikarp, trapping it.
[S... saved..]
Aerin collapsed, gasping.
But the Magikarp burst through the flames, lunging at Tia too fast for her to react. It snatched her up.
No!! She’ll be shredded!!
[Switch!]
[My turn~~ Face me!!]
I swapped places with Tia, radiating killing intent.
[Huh???]
A silver tendon mushroom sprouted from the Magikarp’s mouth.
[Biu~~ Biu~~~]
It shot sticky white goo straight at me.
[....................]
[What the hell is this!? Don’t say it’s corrosive again!!]
Dripping goo, I yelled at Aerin.
[Wait!! The manual says Magikarp rips and eats humans—not this!!]
[Hehe!! Big bro doesn’t get it!????]
All eyes turned to Phyllis.
[Instinct! When threatened, creatures try to pass on their genes.]
[..........................]
[So this is fucking semen!!!!!!!!]
[Nope!! It’s caviar!!!]
[What caviar!? Shoots from a mushroom in its mouth!?]
[Forget that!! You scared it!!]
[Scared!? When threatened, do you shoot ( )&&*@()@&&@)()#()#@ at enemies!?]
[Water Pressure Jet~~]
A torrent drenched me mid-sentence.
[Tia..... Why use this spell *&(^&*()(&^&*(*&*(* on me?]
[Cleaning hubby up. Water Pressure Jet~~~~]
[Stop spraying )()*()&()*&() !]
[Water Pressure Jet~~~~]
[()*&(^()(&^&(*)(*&**(]
[Enough!!! Making it stronger!? We’re on land—if it gets water, you’re all dead!!]
[Cough... cough......... cough.........]
[.................]
The Magikarp knelt, choking on water.
[You’re a Magikarp!!! How do you choke on water!?!?]
[Goddess of Water, grant purest tides—sweep this foe away!! Great Waterfall Technique!!]
[Huh!?]
Tia’s chant unleashed a flood, sweeping me and the Magikarp away.
[)&&*()***** )&(**——]
Post-flood, I lay on dry ground. The Magikarp drowned in the waterfall.
Tia’s still jealous.....
