A Cliché Multiverse Story

(My love, you forgot to take the aura pills!)

The dungeon also treated me like a god. No one knew what grudge the dungeon had with gods but it hated them to death, trying to annihilate any god it sensed.

"Earth Prison."

Yuriko cast a spell at the right time.

Walls rose and imprisoned everyone. I caught Yuriko swaying as if she would pass out at any moment. Saya hurriedly brought a mana potion near Yuriko's lips. Observing her handwork trembling from the dungeon's attacks, Yuriko gulped down the potion.

"Darling, I used the entirety of my mana to buy some time. What is happening here? Is this some trap?"

I shook my head and explained everything. Grayfia pushed up her glasses. "So My Lord is not a human. That explains your monstrous amount of magic power."

"High Human counts as human, okay?"

"Why are we bickering over this now?!" Saya's timely retort reminded us of the current predicament. "Let's find a way to get out of this."

The dungeon's reaction to Hestia, the genuine blood and flesh god, was tamer in comparison. It only threw a black goliath at her. However, its current anger seemed like it was a yandere waifu hellbent on killing her love rival!

(I won't tell.)

'Better.'

Actually, the route of escaping with the teleporter was always an option, but I remained here to test the water. A black monster boss will be a cherry on top of the massive horde's XP.

The rumbling suddenly died. The walls made by Yuriko crumbled into pieces.

"My Lord, should I buy more time?"

"No need. We are going deeper!"

Rika reloaded her sniper, licking her lips. "You nutjob of a husband, I love you so much."

Saeko nodded along, a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Aye, don't they say only a crazy can appreciate another crazy.

"Dear, why don't we go to that forest tomorrow and fuck there like wild mutts?"

My dear mistress climbed on my back and tempted me with the devil's words.

"Sure, if you want the dinos to observe our session."

Her wet tongue licked over my earlobes and then cheeks. "That's a no no."

Saeko nudged my attention. "Don't you think the hallways are longer now?"

"Probably a restructure to keep us on edge."

I turned my attention to Saya skipping beside me, her arms locked behind her. She never fails to amaze me with her brain. She could easily sew perverted delusions and talk to someone at the same time.

I also unlocked a new skill 'Instinct'. Was it the same as Rini's skill?

(Yes.)

'Why though?'

(Eromancer…)

'Wait, I can use the skill of other girls with Eromancer?'

(...)

She seemed reluctant to answer.

'Come on, tell me, so we can cuddle again tonight.'

(...Yes, only to an extent.)

'I am getting the Eromancer class first!'

(Sob… You cruel, manipulative man.)

'You still love me for it.'

Talking with Klyscha made me forget about the danger stalking me from the shadows. The girls all kept a composed face, except my always-worried Nee-san behind me.

She noticed my gaze and shirked closer. "Aa-kun, is it safe?"

Rika slapped her back. "It's gonna be fine. In the worst case, I mean the nightmare-level scenario will result in one of us dying. Aa-chan can still revive us."

My feet froze. Frowning, I forced myself to turn around. "Stop talking about death like it's nothing."

Someone's death had forced me to close my eyes to the world. It definitely wasn't pretty. The mere thought of someone close to me dying clogged my heart with sinking emotions.

Rika flinched and lowered her head. "I am sorry, Aa-chan."

Yuriko brushed her cheeks against me to calm my anger. The sides of my lips quirked upward. Sighing, I ruffled Rika's hair. "It's fine. Just don't say it again."

"I promise."

I took a step to look over everyone. "Let's wreck the dungeon."

The girls broke into cheers, shouted curses, cracked knuckles, and kicked the wall with Grayfia being the exception. The dungeon-chan might be sweating wherever she was hiding.

Almost an hour passed. Turns after turns passed, and the hallway refused to end like an endless maze. I stopped to sense any presence. A dot showed up on my mental radar. The wall on my right intercepted our path.

"Rini."

The gauntlet clad Rini charged and pummeled down the wall. A silhouette flashed behind the dust storm, which turned out to be a black wingless dragon. Everything about it resembled the dragon Tione fought except the scales were pitch black, flaming red eyes, and thrice as large.

The monster dungeon spawned to take care of me. Taking a step forward, it released a bloodcurdling roar.

Yuriko jumped off and stretched. "Work time."

"Noo, leave this one to me."

I whipped out my daggers and dashed. The dragon stomped. Raising the daggers, I cast the new spell learned from Shiori. Also the reason I woke up with Shiori.

"Ride Lightning."

Baal's Level 5 spell.

Electricity flowed through me, and blue sparks crackled around me. My muscles stretched, brimming with raw energy. The dragon's foot crawled above me like a movie playing at slow-mo.

Everything was normal, it's just my perception that had reached a new height.

I evaded the foot and reached its tail. Storming over its back covered in sturdy scales, I reached its head.

"Glacial blade."

Frost covered the daggers. Grinning, I shoved the dagger in the reptilian eyes. I dodged the stream of blood. The dragon bellowed in pain, shaking its body to get rid of me. I hung onto its snout and stabbed the other eye.

Vision down.

I jumped off. The dragon's screech at the heavens and summoned a wave of orcs, imps, and the bats—all kinds of monsters. Flames twirled out of Saya's grasp, imploding a good amount of monsters.

"Leave the mob to us then."

The Busujima twins and Rini recklessly rushed into the army, guarding each other's back. Leaving the mobs aside, I stored the daggers and added Beleth's strength spell into the mix. I rocketed toward the dragon and swung my leg. A full-powered kick sent the dragon flying like a weightless fella. It spun like a barrel and crashed into the cave, breaking a good amount of the dungeon.

I probably broke my nail now.

(My love, please wear the boots I sent!)

'...'

Amidst the chaos, I perched on my butt and wore a shiny, spiky, dark, and edgy pair of boots.

(Now kick the dragon's ass.)

I had no intention of converting a dragon into a masochist. The edgelord protagonist was good enough for the task.

I had no choice but to use that.

"Ayamur."

The wind spun around my hand, condensing into a spear. A strong gust blew everything away.

"Aa-kun!!!"

Shizuka included…

I caught Nee-san before she fell into the monster wave. Her pouty face, as she clung to me, was priceless.

"I-I wanted to heal you but you attacked me."

"My bad. Didn't see you lurking around me… stay put, I am gonna end it quick so we can celebrate.���

An orgy awaited me on the other side!

I kicked the ground and darted for the dragon glaring at me. Fucker had already regenerated, though it took him time. Only shattering the magic stone could kill it as was the case with Black Goliath in Danmachi Season one's finale.

The dragon loosened its maws and spat out a whirl of flames. I thrust the spear; the tip pierced through and dispersed the flames.

"Nice!"

The dragon growled and threw its giant claw. Easily evading its rage, I traveled up to its spine and forced the spear down its upper back. A mere intention gave rise to a storm inside its core. The dragon writhed, whimpering for mercy. But the wind storm only got stronger and poked a hole through its chest.

The dragon ensued its last cry and collapsed.

My gaze rested on the girls slaughtering the horde. Short-term battles favored them as their mana was still not much.

��You earned 4166.66 XP from killing [Level 25 Black Infant Dragon]

I calculated the total XP and blinked my eyes.

'This weakling gave 37500 XP?!'

(It was unlike the other monsters. It was the strongest monster this dungeon could create for the current level.)

I checked my XP bar.

—Current level progress: 54,132,900/66,355,200 XP

Almost there…

I went ahead and cleaned up the monsters with the girls. Shizuka healed the bruises on Saeko and Shiori's hands while we collected the magic stones.

"My Lord, what weapon was that?"

"The spear of wind god!" Shiori and I simultaneously replied with a chuckle. She rubbed my cheeks with her sleeve. I also cleaned her face with my sleeve.

"Better."

Grayfia's gaze bore into me. "My Lord is hiding more secrets from me."

"That's not true. You know Leme, right?"

"Yeah, I know that dark-skinned girl. She said something about being Diva."

"Yep, she isn't lying."

I explained bits and pieces about Diva and their connection to me. Grayfia absorbed the information, her expression looked like she wanted to learn more.

I swallowed an aura suppressing pill and gave one to my devil maid.

We followed the only passage on the floor to arrive in a new place. Ash-colored rocks made up the walls, floor, and ceiling. A dank air flowed from the narrow pits carved into the cave.

This was the 13th floor.

Klyscha left a magic circle for me and then we returned to the inn. The whole point of this was allowing my women to relax. They already overworked after fighting the horde, I can't have them going deeper now.
