Chapter 949 Where To Get Materials?!
-----
Ding!
[The [Dungeon System] explains that Boss-type Monsters are pivotal pillars to each ecosystem, as they provide with vast amounts of energy and maintain the food chain, sometimes even being able to provide new young such as well.]
[Therefore, they cannot be easily replaced. And it might take forever for another to reappear, or maybe they might never appear again.]
[However, lesser monsters can still be hunted. Bear in mind that the higher their ranks within the Floors, the rarer they are and the slower their reproduction becomes as well.]
"Hah, I guess it couldn't be easy. I should probably let them grow their population over time then." I said. "Though... Should I really do this? Ugh, it feels different than hunting monsters outside. After all they're all so gentle with me because I'm the Dungeon Master..."This material is rooted in n0velbin★
"You're feeling bad about killing monsters now?!" Ignatius asked.
"It's not that! They're different from the outside monsters! I feel like they're my kids! ...In a weird way." I said, sighing.
"Ugh this is ridiculous." Ignatius sighed. "S-So you're delaying my evolution because you don't want to kill these guys?"
"Yeah! We'll find another way! And we can always just harvest some of their scales and blood if we ask them nicely." I said. "Claws, fangs too, I think that would be alright. Though, we'll still need a Heart. Hey Alice, do you think Crimson Dragon Scales and Blood would do to replace some of the other materials?"
"They should do as long as you give a lot of them." She said. "Though, for the heart, the most important material, you'll need something stronger, even with the single heart of the Crimson Dragon, you'll need... three to four more."
"Eh?!" I cried. "That's a lot! Why is your evolution so damn expensive?" I began shaking Ignatius. "You're such a golden spooned dragon!"
"Agh! Hey, I am a Great True Fire Dragon! What did ya expect?!" Laughed Ignatius. "To fully evolve my spiritual form, you'll need a lot of power! Heh."
"Wait, Sylphy, you're not thinking on just boldly trying to speak with the Dragon King, right?!" Beelzebub asked me in disbelief. "He's so strong he can give Divine Protections! Doesn't that give you an idea of how terrifying he is?! If you make him mad he could...!"
"Well, the old man spoke to me easily anyways, so let's do the same again..." I said, quickly concentrating.
By imbuing the newfound strength into my soul, I quickly fused it with the dragon energy coming from the Dragon King's Divine Protection
And then, I slowly followed the origin of this power given to me, slowly traveling across an incredibly long distance, with only a part of my bare soul.
FLAAASH!
Suddenly, I found myself floating inside a dark space, in there, two blazing eyes opened, gigantic in size, glaring at me.
"What do you want, brat?! You've gotten stronger but that doesn't give you the right to come and wake me up! I was having a nice nap and now it's ruined!" He roared angrily.
"P-Please don't get angry! It is about your son, Ignatius!" I said.
"My dead son?" He wondered. "Isn't he a spirit or something?"
He was surprisingly chill about it...
"Yeah, well, we need materials to help him evolve... In specific, a Red Dragon Heart..." I said.
He squinted his eyes, glaring into my bare soul.
"Hmmm..."
