I know I said I wouldn’t be going into monsters’ mouths ever again, but you had to understand, that was the only way to kill this thing. There were a few ways this could play out. Unfortunately, dragons weren’t so easy to kill from the inside like other creatures. Maybe if it was a fire dragon I could destroy it from the inside with explosions, but I would need something better.

Castil’s slimy tongue felt weird under my feet, but I could ignore it. I tried scratching it, but got nothing. I then attempted using [Lethal Black Claw] and his tongue started bleeding. The cut closed up almost immediately though, probably due to his [Quick Auto Regeneration] skill.

Next, I tried a simple fire ball spell. It worked perfectly, suggesting that my magic would work from the inside out, but that wasn’t a fun fight.

This was going to be tough. His mouth shook mightily. Their beam attack finally hit the bastard and he swallowed me whole, sending me into his stomach. It was an absolutely horrendous experience. I couldn’t do this. No, no. Entering monsters definitely wasn’t for me.

I activated [Bubble Space] and started making lots of bubbles to forcefully expand the dragon’s stomach. He had an absurd amount of elastic ability, but fortunately the bubbles were made with my [Acidic Ink], so in due time, he would die. I could wait. This even gave me time to think up ways to beat the others.

From what I gathered, the white one, Castillo had the highest defence, Castor possessed the most fire power, Castillian possessed the weirdest body type and speed and the black dragon, Casturn was the smart one. Castil was the weakest out of the five and evidently the stupidest, so I could take him out first now.

Well, I could simply claw my way out from inside here now. I was definitely strong enough to physically do that. But there was no fun in doing that. To watch your prey suffer as they died slowly. That was the best way to do things, no?

‘Oi! What are you thinking?’

‘Huh?’

‘Stop wasting time and get us out of here.’

‘Right, right. [Riptide] should work fine enough, right?’

‘Yeah. That should do.’

What was I thinking? That’s disgusting.

I focused on trying to manipulate the pressure and torrents within Castil’s belly. The result would be a very painful rip through his organs. If he was lucky, he would heal from that, but I doubted it.

In a horribly grotesque fashion, my black acidic bubbles aided in the tearing apart of the dragon from the inside. By the time I was done, I was looking at surprised dragons, all shocked by my sudden emergence.

[You have slayed 1 Sea Dragon]

[You have received 150,000 experience points]

‘Eh… this guy is as big as Goliath but the difference in power is unbelievable.’

‘Well, size isn’t everything.’

‘True.’

I quickly gathered up his corpse into my item box and the others started to speak to me.

‘The weakest finally lost his life.’

‘Well, as expected of that idiot.’

‘Still, he was our weakling. How dare you hurt our weakling!’

They were angry at me.

‘Woah, woah, woah! I thought you didn’t like him? Why are you getting angry?’

Their bodies were being covered in cloaks of power. Their [Dragon Rage] was starting to show its colours. Their surroundings were changing. There were icicles, rocks and diamonds all forming up around me. Even orbs of bright orange light were coming up.

‘Silence, you insolent insect!’

‘Death unto thee!’

‘No mercy!’

They all hated me. What kind of bipolar nonsense was this? One second you hated him, the next you act like he was your beloved brother. Be upfront with your feelings for crying out loud!

I was so angry I decided to quietly take their hits. Of course, those dealt no damage to me since I consumed them with [World Eater]. They were all confused by my sudden ability. Honestly, [World Eater] was surprisingly strong. Like too strong. Even able to eat attacks? That was absurd.

Anyhow, that wasn’t important now. I somehow found the concept of fighting these guys boring now. In this world, you would need at least 20 B rank creatures to go toe-to-toe with an A rank. So, right now, in my eyes, these guys were barely an afterthought.

I summoned [Crushing Void] and transformed into my human form. Like I said earlier, there were multiple ways to easily kill dragons. Including stupid [Soul Weapons] that refused to take me on as their master for some reason.

[Dragon Scales] prevented one from using magic on a dragon’s body. But if my experience inside a dragon has taught me something, it’s the fact that inside of the dragons, they could be affected by magic. That meant, the loophole to their anti-magic was spatial magic.

‘[Crushing Void], looks like you’re gonna have to help me here.’

[[Crushing Void] warns of the penalty that you haven’t taken yet]

‘I’ll take it.’

I informed it and prepared to use its effects once more. In one flawless swipe, I caused lacerations to the innards of their throats. The wound wasn’t natural and as such wouldn’t be able to close till I turned off the spear’s effects. Unfortunately for these boring dragons, I wouldn’t be doing such a thing.

They choked on their own blood and died in a boring manner. One fitting their boring characters. I looked at the black dragon. He stuck his tongue out, almost as if he were amused by the current turn of events.

‘You coming or not?’

I asked him, but he shut his eyes.

‘I’m not so stupid as to risk my life if you can take it so easily.’

After saying his piece, he swam off, back to the fourth level. I wanted to do the same to him, but just then, the effects of [Crushing Void] kicked in. The spear disappeared along with my left arm and right leg.

'Aaaaggghhh!'

'Ouch.'

'Ooof.'

'Ugh... good luck.’

The pain was intense. Was this how it actually felt to lose an arm and leg? This was beyond absurd. There was no blood or anything, just missing limbs. Worse of all, it felt like my hand was crushed into nothing. Maybe that was what happened to it?

[[Scorching Winter] laughs at you]

[[Crushing Void] apologises]

I swear, if I got the chance, I’d shatter the sword. I’d make sure it could never make a sound again. While grunting through the pain, I decided to watch Daxia’s progress.

[You have received 800,000 experience points] f𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺

[You have gone up 1 level]

[You have received the title [Sea Dragon Slayer]]

When I got to the edge, a powerful burst of energy hit me in the face. I struggled to see through it and when I did, there was a horrendous scene before me.

Bloody whirlpools with fangs in them all around Daxia. Charybdis’ scales were bloody as well, but Daxia was completely uninjured. The number of whirlpools – each the size of castil – that popped up around the shark fishman was insane. They all spat out various elements at her, but none were even able to break through her thick chaos energy cloak.

There was something interesting to note. With the whirlpools around her, there were two kinds. One that was bloody and one that glowed a pure divine blue. When Daxia stabbed a whirlpool with her sabre, it turned bloody and slowed down. A hole would also appear on Charybdis’ scales.

“Come on, I don’t remember you being this week. Did five years of sleep seriously make you weaker? I mean, you’re even too fat to move now.”

She taunted him. I just noticed that Charybdis actually couldn’t move from the spot he was.

She was getting bored with his lack of proper shows in prowess. Such a beast should surely have been able to do something even with a tiny environment, no?

Or… I made a mistake. He should be able to do something, but through his calculations, he came to the conclusion that there was nothing he could do. The whirlpools were mostly a result of a self-defence mechanism. The way he was shaking, I recognised it.

Even his status showed it. He was paralysed with fear. Was this the absurd difference between two S ranks?

When I think about it again, Charybdis did not even produce chaos energy. Maybe there were different levels to that kind of stuff. I overestimated him. No. Even if there were a hundred mes, I wouldn’t have been able to even scratch Charybdis’ scales.

I made no mistake when it came to his power. The one whose extent I wasn’t properly measuring was the monster I summoned. I underestimated Daxia even now. That was impossibly stupid of me.

? Her sword started vibrating violently. The waves of power it radiated paralysed me with awe. The entire floor shook. I presumed that was from Charybdis’ body quivering in fear. It was absolutely thrilling to be able to witness such a sight.

She muttered something to Charybdis. For some reason, I was unable to hear it. Just then, she stabbed her sword into his eye. Black chaos energy spread from the sword to the eye. For a brief moment, there was no reaction.

I blinked, only to find black lines drawn all over the beast.

‘Is this… my end?’

I heard his thoughts loud and clear.

‘I see, now there should be nothing tethering Makrov to this plain. This dungeon will collapse.’

He said something interesting. If the dungeon was going to collapse, didn’t that mean I would be trapped in it as well?

Before I could come to a conclusion on that matter, Charybdis’ body shattered into a billion pieces.

[Congratulations! You have completed a never-before-seen achievement]

[You have slain the Dungeon boss Charybdis with the aid of the [Help Ticket]]

[You have received [Golden Scylla]]

The item appeared in my item box. It could supposedly create wild whirlpools that Charybdis was summoning. That looked like a really nasty ability and was generally useless out of water from what I could tell.

‘Guess that’s that.’

“Hinotori.”

Daxia’s clone called out to me. When I saw her, she was grinning wildly like it was the best time of her life.

“Thanks. That was fun.”

She admitted as she slowly faded away. There was something nice about seeing her so happy.

‘No problem.’

“Give the real Daxia some more fun like this sometime later. You’re lucky.”

‘I don’t think I will be doing such a thing.’

Once she was gone, I gathered up the corpses and started harvesting as many mana crystals as my item box could take. As of now, I had only one more available slot. Depending on the next floor, I’d have to throw away certain items.

[You have completed the 5th level]

[You may choose to exit the dungeon now]

[Do you wish to proceed to the next level?]

>[Yes]/[No]

I’d forgotten that after this floor, my movements were now optional. If I proceeded, I’d simply be plunging headfirst into danger that was scarier than this floor. If I didn’t, I’d return back, get stronger then later return to continue where I left off.

The more logical option was obviously to leave the dungeon. However, just as I was about to choose that option, I heard a cry. A plea for help. In the darkness, I could feel Makrov’s sorrow. He was begging me to help him.

I didn’t know how to do that so I would simply ignore him. Also, I made a solemn vow to never help strangers. Let alone a friggin devil that traumatised the seas. If the hero put him down, it was definitely for a good reason.

I chose [No].

[Alert! You have been invited to the DM room]

[Will you accept this invitation?]

>[Yes]/[No]

This bastard was really desperate, wasn’t he?
