As we reached floor 57, we quickly went down through the stairs to floor 58. Because everyone was riding on my giant dragon-like golden back, I was able to travel at incredible speed.

The Dungeon tried its best to stop us as it threw hundreds of monster's waves at us, from all sides countless of the monster's species we encountered in the latest floors appeared form small rooms that were connected to the direct stairs.

Using my already showcased power, I once again expanded my Aura wildly as I detected every spawn point and gathered a group of monsters. Concentrating the magic within my Aura, I conjured powerful Thunderbolts that rained over the unlucky monsters, grilling them into a crisp. The small rooms were devastated and crumbled into pieces. Although the dungeon could regenerate, the destruction I caused would make it take plenty of time.

When we finally reached floor 58, I promptly got rid of the monsters waiting for us and then left my family and the Oni group to rest. They immediately went to gather the different corpses of monsters as they started a feast out of nowhere, they were awfully hungry.

After snacking in some more Fishmen, I decided to kill the Boss on my own, as I was wondering the extent of my abilities. All the previous bosses were taken by teamwork, but I wondered how well would I got if I did solo instead.

The Bosses are getting progressively stronger, and if I don't use my full power, I may find some nice challenge. Although I also wonder what are the extents of my full capabilities, going all out, I fear that it might cause the destruction of the dungeon or perhaps irreparable damage.

In my current form, I wasn't really fit to use weapons as I took in a more savage and monster-like appearance, wielding weapons wasn't convenient and it was better as a Humanoid. Nonetheless, I still had two massive arms that were generated after the armors mutated and fused themselves, I had six arms before, however, three from each side fused together into massive arms that held incredible power, each arm having long claws that could slice a mountain.

I decided to take on two of my trusty swords, [Nether Sword of Undying Pain] and [Thunderstorm Glimmer Odachi; Raiu]. Using the power of my Armor and Aura, I was able to transform the weapons to a certain extent as they were connected to my soul, the weapons quickly increased in size, now each one being of over ten meters tall, fitting for my massive size. Both of them were also enhanced to a certain extent as they were now covered in golden armor and looked sharper and stronger.

I entered the room in a blast, opening the doors wide open, I expended my Aura around the darkroom as it illuminated itself. The powerful presence I felt before appeared once again. A formless shadow suddenly grew in size in the middle of the room as the doors closed tightly with a thunderous sound.

The shadow quickly took the appearance of an incredibly tall monster with different features and arms, in two seconds the monster was finally done materializing. I could feel its connection to the dungeons still. The Dungeon was wildly giving it power, more than it originally had, it was obvious that it was because the Dungeon somehow already knew my intentions and didn't want me alive anymore.

The monster was towering over sixty meters and had eight different arms, a fish-like body, and three legs. Each arm was a different-shaped claw of a crustacean monster, while its three legs were golden crab legs. On the back of its fish body, there was a massive group of red-colored tentacles. The head of the monster was ugly and intimidating, that of a disfigured shark beast with more than twenty eyes, it had three different jaws as well, filled with sharp fangs. The monster fish body was azure-colored and released a strong pressure.

Releasing a loud cry, the beast pounced at me at max speed, in that slight second I appraised the monstrous being.

My Split Minds swiftly went through the information, the monster had incredible stats and seemed to be an all-rounder specialized in the attack. Although it had less bulk than the Whale Centipede, it was around three times as deadly.

The Chimera rushed towards me furiously, with the intent to get rid of me for good. Its eight arms opened wide as it gathered in Magic and threw eight different blasts of elemental magic, each blast being a different element. Although I had immunity to some, there were also others that I didn't have any immunity get and without wanting to risk getting vaporized, I evaded the beams gracefully with incredible lighting speed. Then I approached the Chimera myself as I opened my Thunderstorm Phoenix Head beak, releasing a powerful blast of Thunder Magic.

My speed surprised the Chimera as it tried to dodge with its amazing speed, sadly my Thunder Blast was incredibly strong and penetrated its chest, leaving a gaping bloody hole, the surrounding flesh and organs were completely grilled, however, the monster didn't yell in pain at all as it kept moving towards me as nothing has happened.

I swiftly flew around him as I released a barrage of techniques over its head, the different thunder slashes penetrated its head and released big chunks of meat and bones, nonetheless, the monster didn't feel any pain at all, no yelling or suffering. After another confirmation on its Skill Window, I saw it, the Chimera actually had [Pain Nullification].

Although the Chimera couldn't match my speed, it could still throw its beams around, leaving me with little areas to go to. When I tried to approach it once again, I fell over its spine as I began to bite its flesh voraciously while releasing hundreds of techniques inside of its body, the powerful energies colliding inside of the flesh inflated its back and made it explode. The beast, however, saw this as an opportunity, and due to not feeling pain, it tried to ravage me with a powerful onslaught of its eight claws, without even caring if it could damage its back.

Infusing my Aura over all of my body I managed to evade most attacks, and the ones who I received, although strong, were nothing that could put me in much danger. The monster tentacles were swift and seemed to have a mind of their own, skillfully moving around while trying to catch me, even trying to bait me sometimes by playing dumb.

The monster didn't possess flying abilities and was too heavy to jump, so it could only run to whenever I went. Although the monster had taken serious damage, it was beginning to recover all of its wounds back. I decided to do the same as the Whale Centipede, using my [Mystic Eyes; Eye of Demise; Anti-Heal Curse].

The curse easily went through the monster and as long as I didn't stop looking at it, it was virtually impossible to release itself from it. The Chimera quickly noticed my trick and yelled not in pain but fury, although it couldn't feel pain, it could feel the fatigue generated by a tired body, and knew that if it couldn't recover, it was bad news for it!

Suddenly the Chimera azure fish body turned scarlet red as its head released steam, it was furious. I had already seen this form before in other Bosses, it was named [Berserk Mode]. The Monster becomes wilder and more savage in exchange for increased strength and speed.

In a flash, the Chimera appeared in front of me with incredible speed, I was barely able to dodge its powerful jaws as it only managed to bite the air. Seeing its new strength, I released six [Arms of Demise] as I commanded my Split Mind to steadily produce more.

The Chimera could easily destroy my [Arms of Demise] as the giant dark phantom arms were destroyed one after another by the Chimera powerful claws. Nonetheless, each time one was destroyed, they could detonate into powerful magical explosions.

Using this opportunity I released another technique, enhancing them with my Magic and Aura, massive hammers made of pure Lava and Venomous Gemstones appeared out of thin air as they began to smash and blow the Chimera head and back, the monster was able to destroy the hammers with its tentacles, but the hammers kept appearing one after another, at the same time than my [Arms of Demise], successfully creating a very nice distraction. Two of my Split Minds were working on the creation of these powerful things.

Even when the Chimera tried to approach me, the Arms and Hammers would stop it in place and blow its claws with strong explosions and attacks. The monster desperately tried to get rid of them with its eight-elemental blast, filling the floor with powerful explosions of magic elements colliding with each other.

Making use of its stupidity I appeared on its back as I enhanced my draconic body with my Aura and other buffs and then rushed like a meteor towards its first left claw. Raising my two swords I released a powerful slash of Nether and Thunder that generated a sudden flood of magic that pierced the Chimera left shoulder with a powerful force, the claw suddenly fell to the ground as the shoulder started to released floods of blue blood.

"I'm going to slice you up really well so I can eat you more easily! Don't worry it won't take so long! Conveniently, you can't feel pain!"

Hearing my provocation the monster twisted its body with incredible force as it tried to smash me with its massive claws, to its surprise I had already disappeared of its sight and was now on its back once again, releasing another powerful burst of Nether, Thunder and my Aura, I pierce the Chimera second left arm.

Furious, the Chimera enhanced its body as it grew in size and musculature! Bulging fish muscles appeared as its claws became colossal. A deadly aura filled the entire room and its powers were slowly showing, its Aura suddenly turned into a Sea Domain and it seemed as if the room was now filled with water. The Monster used this opportunity to swiftly swim around with its fishtail, rushing towards me while opening its massive jaws.

However, I didn't even need to dodge as I expanded my Lighting Aura towards each direction, my Aura was already voraciously eating the Chimera's aura like nothing, gaining its strength. The Chimera was surprised by my showcase of powers and tried to quickly finish me with a sharp bite.

The moment the beast opened its massive jaws I had already accumulated enough energy and magic on my swords, with a single swing of them, powerful energy primarily made of Thunder flew through the air, entering the Chimera's mouths as it closed them by reflex, bad choice.

Suddenly a powerful explosion blasted the Chimera's jaws into pieces. Although it couldn't feel the pain, it was very worried about his life now. Without its intimidating jaws, it tried to attack me with its claw's elemental beams, as he tried to, I flew at max speed and appeared on its back, with a single swoop, I sliced its third left arm.

The colossal arm and claw fell to the ground creating a thunderous sound. The beast tried to follow me around but it was futile, its Domain was devoured by mine and it couldn't even float in the air like before, once again it was in the floor trying to shoot me with its stupid beams.
