[You have entered the 2nd Level]
The moment I entered, one of the mobs attacked me like a rocket. I managed to avoid it, but got hit by the lightning it gave off. My [Lightning Resistance] offset most of its effects, although the attack on its own was barely acknowledgeable.
[You have lost 30 health points]
I grabbed the beasts tail with my talons and brought it up close. It was an eel, with dark brown scales and a black head. It had spikes sticking out of its back, acting like lightning rods. It tried to bite me, but I easily cut off its head with [Lethal Black Claw].

In front of me, there was easily over a hundred of them mixed with otter fish and hippocampi. All growling at me like the intruder I was. They were prepared to swarm me and so was I to kill them.
[Thread Creation], [Thread Control] and [Netting] together, I managed to trap most of them in a massive network of wires laced with my blood. The trapped creatures tried to break free, but only ended up causing my net to get tighter around them.
Akkun had a new trick he wanted to test out, so we decided to use this chance to do so. It was [Blood Magic: Blood Blade], a magic skill that turned my blood as sharp as steel. With it, I managed to slaughter the lot quickly, shocking myself to an unexpected extent.

‘Success~’
Akkun was thrilled to see that his new magic spell was able to kill over 50 creatures with an ungodly amount of ease.
The remaining monsters paused in their tracks and as if for the first time, I could see dread in their eyes.
‘Ugh, that’s kinda cringe now that I see it.’
‘Yeah. It’s no fun when they start to get scared.’
‘And don’t put up a fight.’
‘S-Sorry.’
‘Don’t worry about it. Let’s just clear this floor and attend to the next floor.’
I activated [Deadly Beast Roar], stunning most of them even further. Using the surrounding water, I pushed the paralysed creatures together and decided to use one magic trick that took quite the hefty amount of mana.
1500 MP, just to summon it.
‘[Ice Magic: Ice Berg]!’
The whole cave turned cold and dead silent.

[You have killed 18 Undead Otter fish]
[You have killed 21 Carnivorous Hippocampi]
[You have received 1,750,000 experience points]

The monsters were crushed in an instant by the ice berg which shattered into millions of pieces after completing its purpose. The mashed-up corpses of the creatures laid flat on the bottom of the cave and I almost felt too disgusted to pick them up.
In the end, I did put them in my item box and proceed towards the dungeon boss.
The room was about 10 times as big as the previous room, but had one tiny silver fish that sat on a pedestal with tons of gold coins all around it. When I scanned the fish, it was weaker than a goblin so I expected for there to be another monster lurking, but the dungeon cleared that up for me.
[Level 2 Dungeon boss <<Silver-Tongued Lying Fish>>]
[Defeat this boss to proceed to the next level]
‘Silver tongue lying fish? That’s a weird name.’
‘Maybe its supposed to trick us? Wouldn’t put it past this dungeon.’
‘I-I don’t s-sense any t-traps.’
‘Scouring through its skillset, it doesn’t seem to possess anything dangerous.’
‘What about the gold?’
‘Completely safe gold we can steal, I guess.’
‘Maybe no one was supposed to survive that swarm then? Yeah, it would make sense.’
‘Or maybe this is supposed to make any who enters go deeper to the next level?’
‘Then they get killed by stronger monsters.’
‘Ha! You thought you could trick me dungeon, but I see through your schemes. Jokes on you because I want a stronger opponent. Once I’m done stealing all this gold, I’ll proceed.’
Hurriedly, I gathered up all the gold and shoved them into my item box. I racked up over 100,000 thousand gold coins and some other jewels, that were probably of no real value on the surface. I would just need to refine them and make counterfeit money in order to be rich. Although, they did have more value in the store than the usual gold coins.
When I was done, I went in closer towards the sliver fish to kill it. I wouldn’t even need a skill for this.
‘W-wait!’
I stopped myself from killing it and moved back.
‘W-What?’
‘Don’t touch it.’
‘Eh?’
‘I just realised why it’s called the Silver-Tongued Lying Fish.’
‘Eh? Why?’
‘Look. It has the [Double Persona] skill. Just like that guy.’
‘Eh? For real? But what does that change? It’ll still be weak either way.’
‘No, no, no. The [Double Persona] is essentially two bodies in one.’
‘Meaning it has another form?’
‘Yes.’
‘Oh. Then we just need to one-shot K.O it, right?’
‘I guess so?’
‘But that was what I was gonna do.’
‘G-Guys.’
‘Yeah, I know. But I felt like I had to tell you.’
‘Tch. Wasting so much time for nothing, Hyakun.’
‘Guys.’
‘Oi, oi. I was just giving you a warning.’
‘Trying giving a warning when it’s necessary.’
‘Wanna fight?’
‘Bring it o-‘
‘Both of you shut up and look!’
Akira shut us up, allowing me to notice the monstrosity that had formed in front of me.
If I had to describe it in one word, I’d say fat.
It took up half the entire room and definitely wouldn’t have fit in the other rooms. It was larger than the whales I saw on the feast day and those were at least twice the size of regular whales from earth. It had dark green blubber and 10 milky white eyes on its head. Its nose was like that of a pinniped. Weirdly enough, I didn’t see any way for it to move from its current location. Its body was touching the very ends of the room, meaning it was essentially stuck.
[Level 2 Hidden Dungeon Boss <<Devourer of the Depths>> has appeared]
[Kill it to proceed to the next level]
‘Uuuh… [Water Spear].’
My attacked bounced off his skin harmlessly. It looked at me with all ten of its milky eyes and opened its mouth wide for me to locate over 1000 sharp drills for teeth all around, going down the throat. For the first time in a long while, I was creeped out.
‘You a meat grinder?’
From all sides, I had conjured up balls several magic attacks. [Water Spear], [Lightning Daggers], [Lightning bolts], [Geo Crushers], [Light Shots], [Dark Shots] and even [Holy Fire]. I fired them off quickly, but they had absolutely no effect on this massive body whatsoever.
‘Ah… that defence is higher than Minerva’s.’
‘And his skill, [Impenetrable Fortress].’
‘T-Too hard.’
‘Uh, [Bubble Knox] then?’
At the thought, I created a mountain of air bubbles to attack the beast. The bubbles collided with its head and made a bigger bubble. If I couldn’t beat it, then I could suffocate it. Easy as that. Unfortunately for me, the creature was unfazed by this and started to suck in the bubble.
Somehow, I was being sucked into its mouth.
‘Well, no thank you.’
Of course, I tried to swim out of the way, but a snake shot out through its mouth from the bubble and pierced my wing.
[You have lost 1200 health points]
‘Huh? Just from getting stabbed in the wing?’
‘Also… ow~’
‘T-That was weird. Don’t make that sound again.’
[Lethal black Claw]
I decapitated the snake and threw it out of my wing. With [Quick Auto Regeneration], my wing was healed up in no time. When I came to, there were a bunch of snakes coming from that thing’s mouth.
‘Groosssssss!’
Teleportation was such a blessing, you know? You could teleport to anywhere you wanted. Especially out of harms way. Take it from me, you want a teleportation skill or someone to constantly teleport you.
Luckily, I was that teleporter. Without asking any questions, I moved out of the way. I shot off some more attacks on its back, but they resulted in nothing.
‘It’s no use. Maybe if we use [Mithril Body] to imitate Minerva’s strength, we can do something about it, but I doubt that’d be effective on its own.’
‘Yeah. It’s too tough on the outside.’
‘On the outside?’
‘Yeah. You have something to say Akkun?’
‘W-What a-about from the i-inside.’
‘Eh!?’
I was in shock.
‘Could work.’
‘Totally makes sense.’
They agreed with him. This idea was obvious, but none of us wanted to suggest it, mostly because they were thinking about my mental well-being. Yet, the moment our cute little Akkun suggest it they all agree with him.
These shitty bastards, betraying me at the drop of a hat.
‘No. That wouldn’t work.’
I argued.
‘Why are you lying?’
‘We have no way of confirming that.’
‘We do. Just go in. If it fails, then you can simply teleport us out of there. Easy as learning English alphabets.’
‘Oi, oi. We need to redefine your concept of easy. We hate English.’
‘No. We love it.’
‘Lies.’
‘Not the point here. Just get into the mouth.’
‘N-‘
‘Stop being a wimp. Get in there!’
‘B-‘
‘Come on.’
‘You’re wasting time.’
I was losing to myself. Talk about lame. I quietly accepted my fate and swam in front of the monster. A rope of snake tongue-things came and grabbed me. Another bundle hit me from the top like a wrecking ball.
[You have lost 400 health points]
Slammed down and restrained, I was sucked into the mouth.
‘Noo! I’m too young to die!’
‘No one’s dying.’
‘Shut it! You’re not the one who has to feel themselves getting swallowed.’
The mouth shut close and all the spikes came in close. I had manipulated the bubble knox to create a bubble barrier around me for protection. Fortunately, the spikes were unable to break through, but even if they did, I wouldn’t be crushed because of how many defensive skills I possessed.
Now, the problem was getting Akkun’s plan in place.
‘I know we said till our life was in danger and all, but waiting out for this thing to transform back will take forever.’
‘Agreed.’
‘So… we’re breaking our vow this quickly? Do we want to be the kind of person that can easily cancel promises the moment it suits our best interests?’
Hyakkun disagreed.
‘I-I can live w-with that.’
‘Yeah.’
‘Same.’
‘… Ah well.’
The rest of the more logical members agreed with Akkun.
Since majority agreed, I summoned about a thousand shadows and three shadow generals to come help me. The shadow generals were different from my usual five, but I didn’t think too much about it. I ordered them to summon more shadow soldiers to come fight and they did.
The order was simple. They just needed to help me kill this thing from within. They looked at one another, then nodded. The summoning had begun outside my bubble. The black creatures came in floods, some getting destroyed by the teeth, some destroying the teeth, most attacking any vulnerable spot they see.
It was a messy sight with hundreds of shadows dissipating within seconds and a lot of blood and broken teeth. I honestly didn’t have to do much except for hide in here and wait for the shadows to finish doing this.
After about 10 minutes, the shadows finally succeeded in ripping me out from the beast.
[Level 2 hidden boss <<Devourer of the Depths>> has been killed]
‘Ah…’
‘Note to self.’
‘Never get swallowed by a monster again.’
‘Really traumatising stuff.’
