Novel Full Chapter 562 - A New Responsability
-----
Frank took a glance at the little dragon sleeping over his lap, after realizing how important it truly was, he sighed. he seemed to have finally understood why it was how it was. This little dragon was the future guardian of the coastal regions of Japan, just how Ryujin in the past, before perishing used to be.
"But its gonna take a while to evolve and grow big, right? What a pain, it will take thousands of years." Sighed Frank.
"Yeah, it will take a long time, Ryujin was born big because he was created that way, but his child seems to have his power dormant yet, it requires training and to grow bigger." Said Kaguya.
"At that stage it cannot even defend a little beach from some jellyfish." Said Clementine.
"What a pain. Now that I am his guardian, do I have to raise him?" wondered Frank.
"Why are you acting so lazy out of the sudden, brother? You have raised several monsters into massive divine beasts already! You're complaining a lot to do something you're the best at!" said Kamei.
"Hmm… Right." Sighed Frank. He remembered his beloved monster pets which are as of now hanging around inside his house.
"Indeed! With your Trait of the System, you could hasten Ryujin's growth, Frank-sama! If you use the power of Leveling, Gaining EXP, and Skills, Ryujin could grow fast very quickly!" said Kaguya.
"Ooh! That's right!"
"Kami-sama can hasten his growth with our lord's help!"
"All hail Frank-sama!!!"
The Elders began to kneel before Frank as he felt rather embarrassed.
"Can you guys cut that out please?" he sighed.
"Frank-sama!"
"Frank-sama!"
"Frank-sama!"
They didn't cut it out.
"So for now that you know the Shoguns and all, the thing we can do is just raise this little dragon into someone formidable! Bringing it to the Dungeon should be a priority, making it level up as fast as possible so it can grow bigger is also the priority!" said Kaguya.
"Okay but what about Chaos Gate and Tokyo? I cannot just shift all of my attention to him." said Frank.
"O-Oh, right…" sighed Kaguya.
"I also have yet to go meet the Werewolves… I think I will take a week of rest before going to meet them, I don't want to make too many fights constantly. A bit of relaxation is required… I suppose I can use that time to help out Ryujin. Time goes slow inside my Divine Realm, several times slower, a week is a month inside, that's more than enough to achieve some level of decent growth." Said Frank.
"Oooh! That would certainly be useful, my lord, thanks a lot." said Kaguya.
"Now… what should I do first… Ah, there's a lot to do…" sighed Frank.
Frank suddenly remembered something, as he took out a black key from his inventory, it had a skull shape on top of the key, and it seemed to emanate a strong dark aura from within.
…
[Rotten Necropolis Labyrinth Key (A)]
Open a Gate to the Rotten Necropolis Labyrinth, a special Dungeon that adapts to the power level of the user. A Labyrinth infested by all sorts of Undead monsters, a tunnel that connects to the various Realms of the Netherworld Plane, a Dimension where Undead Dwell and the Hegemonies of Death reign supreme. Necrotic Energy is required to further grow stronger in this Dimensional Plane.
…
"Netherworld Plane… that's the "Other universe" that the Yggdrasil tree spoke about before? It is more of a Dimension now that I think about it… so by completing this Labyrinth or simply walking out if through the "tunnel" I can even reach this place… Maybe it could be a good place to strengthen my Death Attribute and Necromancy, and all my Undead… Also the EXP would be welcomed with open arms." Thought Frank.
"T-That's a very eerie-looking key, my lord…" said Kaguya.
"What's that thing, it emanates such a strong presence…" said Clementine.
"This is a special item that lets me enter a Labyrinth that connects to another Dimension known as the Netherworld Plane… Do you know something about it?" asked Frank.
"Netherworld Plane… a bit. Although this planet also has its iteration of such place named the Underworld or Tartarus… there are many Death gods in here!" said Kaguya.
"Wait, really!?" asked Frank.
"Indeed… It is a dangerous place." Said Clementine.
"Hmm… Oh well, this thing was gifted to me by the System, I might use it in the future to go increase my power… For now I will save it." said Frank.
"For now… You Vampires all gather in here, bring them all here, Clementine, I will share the System with you guys, and help you form Mana Cores to strengthen you." Said Frank.
"System? Oh… I see… So that was your plan to strengthen us!" said Clementine.
"The Mana Core? Like the one Matsuo has?" asked Harumi.
"Yup, it's a super useful crystal that will help you almost double your total mana and magic power, and it grows too, so you can develop your power even further." Said Matsuo.
"And with leveling, you can kill living beings and gain experience points which will let you level up, increasing your stats, which slowly fortify your muscles, magic power, and even total mana!" said Kaguya.
"Oh so like a game…" said Harumi.
"I see… Very well then, Frank!" said Clementine.
After an hour of preparations, a large row of Vampires was standing in front of Frank as he quickly began to grant them the System, slowly, all of them gained a Status within the System, making many of them grow surprised.
"W-Wow…"
"This feels surreal."
"Unbelievable."
"Strange…"
"Now comes the time of truth, absorb these things by touching them." Said Frank.
Frank began to distribute piles of Rank 1 Mana Cores from Terra Monsters he had been saving. The Vampires quickly touched them curiously and while raising eyebrows, as they were quickly amazed by its wondrous effects, the mana cores turned into sparks of light as they fused with the people's chest.
Harumi and Clementine were of the first that got their new Mana Cores, flashing with bright light from their chests.
"W-What is this?!" cried Harumi.
"Oh my…! I had never felt this much mana…!" said Clementine.
It was a bit of a show…
