CH. 58: Juggernaut, Fury of The Dungeon.

(A/N: Have you ever wondered how can such innocent author right such gory content? UmU)

After Akira woke up, he was told to sit on the couch while Hestia was just turning around in circle around the table while he was resting nonchalantly. Hestia then stops and glares at Akira with a serious expression.

"I hope you know what this means!" Hestia yells with crossed hands and a serious face, "Yeah, i guess" Akira replies with a small grin, after remembering the amounts of love he made with Hestia.

The boy's face was readable like a book. After seeing his lustful expression, blushes appeared on the flustrated goddess's cheeks. "Idiot!!" Hestia yells while throwing a pillow at Akira.

Akira laughs. Hestia sighs after seeing this, she calms down then explains, "Now, since I gave you my most precious treasure, you will help me" Hestia said with a raised brow.

Akira gets up from the couch then gives her a wink, "Sure will do Hestia dear~ If having a successful Familia can cheer a harem member then I'll help you with it" Akira said, smiling.

Hestia's face gets more red after hearing that she was now part of his harem, 'They will eat me alive...!' She thought while holding her face. And it was true, there are some girls that'd eat her, probably not a horny Ultima.

――――――

While Akira was giving Hestia the payback, the girls went for a dungeon dive. Unlike the dungeon in Tensura, this labyrinth was more complex and well-designed. The smart ones like Testarossa would even go to say that the dungeon was personalized by having monsters and extra levels generated depending on the adventurer.

As for Saeko Busujima, it was a golden opportunity to atleast get a bit stronger compared to human standards. Who knows? Maybe she'll unlock an evolution after getting strong enough.

But at this point, she had no choice. If she wanted to stand beside Akira, she'd have to become a powerful person to reckon with. It was no secret for anyone that she likes him now.

The group arrive at one of the last levels before reaching their destination. A dungeon floor filled with labyrinths and forests with dragon nests ―Level 57―.

Some wyverns spot the group and attack them. Saeko takes a fighting position, but surprisingly, the tall pale woman that is Testarossa stops her, "Don't trouble yourself dear, they're nothing but mere trash that needs to be disposed of." She says with a cold and elegant voice.

Testarossa merely looks at the rushing monsters with her cold and red eyes. And in an instant, the medium sized wyverns stop flying. They suddenly stop on their tracks, paralyzed, before falling on the ground and collapsing.

Abruptly, their bodies explode in a gory mess of blood, organs and bones, not even the magic crystals ―That had an extremely high durability― remain.

Saeko sighs, she wouldn't spit on a fight with high leveled draconic wyverns but it's understandable i guess, she sheaths her sword and decides to keep her stamina for a more powerful opponent. "How did you do that?" Milim asks Testarossa, "What thing?" Testa asks with a raised brow.

Milim uses her small hands to explain, "Th-The— Booom thingy! H-How did you do it??" She asks. Testarossa sighs, she simply head pats Milim then gives her a little teasing, "This is simply the result of achieving godly power dear Milim~" The elegant woman said. The dragonoid girl pouts in anger then clenches her fists, it was obvious she was being mocked and taken for a children.

While on their way to the lastest floor. The primordials used their broken weapons to clean up the mess that is the path to level 61.

But considering the huge gap between attack potency and enemy vitality. Their attacks leave behind huge collateral damage and blood everywhere like it's a slaughterhouse.

Rifts of distorted space-time appear frequently due to Testarossa's space-time cutting claws ; The dungeon had underwent an considerable amount of damage, be it physically or specially.

And in their limited ignorance, conditions were net for the girls to meet up with the guardian of the dungeon...

(...)

Arriving at Mammon's ruin castle in level 60, the group spot the entrance to the 61th level, a pitch-black spectral portal that seemed to be guiding at a completely different dimension.

"It's there! Let's go now!" Milim shouts enthusiastically. But as she sped off, Ultima caught her hand, stopping her momentum as the three primordials felt a hostile and unknown presence that built itself in the surrounding area.

"Hey! Let go of me dummy i wanna fight some monsters!" Milim starts jiggling and resisting Ultima's grasp but the purple haired twisted demon won't let go of her.

The floor walls suddenly start shaking. The left part of the level start cracking and shattering, as dust starts falling down from the ceiling. A wide-open crack forms on the center of the wall. It shatters to pieces and becomes a hole.

The attention of the group fall immediately on the two yellow pupils sticking out of the shadowy wall insides. A loud roar resonates through the floor level and the creature hiding there comes out.

Ultima lets go of Milim who flies away. The three primordials look at this crawling creature with discerning eyes, "A defensive monster!" Ultima says.

Indeed, the creature before them was the Juggernaut, a lizard like reptile creature with no skin, no flesh, no insides and no mind. A monotone creature with dry bones and eyes that showed no mercy. It served as the defensive mechanism of the dungeon that would appear once the domain suffers a huge amount of damage. A way for it to repel adventurers and repair itself.

"KUUUYAAAAAK!!" The Juggernaut groaned with hostility. He started rushing towards the group while pointing his limbs and destroying everything on his path. Once reaching the group of female adventurers, he swings his dry bones that served as hands down and destroys the ground beneath them, failing in their execution as all five dispersed around.

"I wanna fight it!!" Milim shouts. She jumps from her position then flies across the air with a flaring fist. The Juggernaut spots Milim and her powerful attack, he jumps back, barely dodging it. Milim plants the punch on the ground then obliterates the rough floor. Large chunks of stone fly away and Milim looks around her.

Her gaze locks on the dry lizard creature. "Don't dodge my attacks you idiot!" Milim shouts. Both her fists flare up as she jumps once again in his direction. Throwing multiple fist attacks at the Juggernaut who felt her hostility.

The Juggernaut beast crawls to the ceiling of the ruin floor. He roars in anger then spits poisonous liquids which he throws on Milim. The dragonoid dodges all poison puddles, these latters were so acide they digged through the rough floor.

Juggernaut doesn't stop attacking. As long as he was on the offence he'd have the upper hand.

Spikes emerged from the floor and make of the ground a spiky mess of sharp rocks that can pierce through anyone's armor and defenses. Milim lets out a strong pink aura of adrenaline, the pressure destroys the nearby rough spikes. She flies again into the battle.

The other group members just watched Milim's fight. "Why is she taking so long?!" Carrera is irritated by Milim's childishness. Ultima alone was enough but adding Milim...

Carrera utilises her [Gravity Manipulation]. A potent ability that lets her control gravitational activities of any creation, including living beings and entire planets.

If used with malice and desire for destruction, Carrera could make an entire planet or even a star collapse on itself, in an extremely powerful singularity of attractive force.

By pouting her hand towards the Juggernaut, the latter finds himself unable to move, prisoner of his own weight that was being crushed on the ground. He tries looking around but his head couldn't move. Some of his dry bones were shattering.

"Playtime's fucking over. I'll take it now." Carrera says. She slowly forms a fist with her glowing hand then brutally compresses the Juggernaut creature into a circular shape.

His bones crack and body tearing apart into multiple parts. His mouth jaws gets ruptured and the sharp teeth inside all break. And when the blonde girl finished, the legendary Juggernaut had become literal dust, literal scrap trapped in a compressed singularity with a radius of one centimeter.

"Ooh! Impressive!" Milim slowly claps her hands with a 'o' shape in her mouth. Ultima cheers Carrera up while the blonde girl is puffing her chest in pride and distinction.

Saeko wipes the sweat and dust from her forehead with a smiling and surprised expression, she had seen from all colors with these crazy girls.

"Shall we continue onwards?" Testa asks, they all respond in affirmation. Then, they enter the portal towards the next level of the dungeon.

(...)

[[ Back with Akira and Hestia ]]

The latters were now at the guild. In the commerce department making business with the staffs of the guild. The precipitation between guild members was caused by the extremely high quality Akira brought, though they were all offered to Hestia by Nox.

Why would he give these top quality crystals from Mammon's body to the lowly goddess Hestia who was deemed as a failure?

Well, simply because Nox had no use for money, or materials. All what imported him, was his fellow harem members being happy. It was a waste to throw that stuff away, it was better used on Hestia's very very very limited assets.

"Hestia-sama, our staff have finished calculating the total worth of your treasury. Thus, we came into conclusion with a satisfactory price that will cheer you up" Eina announces with a smiling face.

Eina then says an astronomical number of Valis which make Hestia jump in surprise. Akira is disappointed because he was expecting way more than that, but guess even the richest establishment in town didn't have infinite ressources.

With that money, Hestia will be able to found a successful Familia filled with powerful members that'll dungeon dive and make more money and fame for the Familia. Hestia was overjoyed, she was finally stepping closer to her dream of being the best goddess in the world !

"Oh by the way, Hestia-sama, Akira-sama." Eina calls them out. She searches a bit in the paperwork then pulls out two letters with the Hephaestus stamp on it. She hands a letter to Hestia and Akira.

Akira opens up the later and reads the paper sheets. With the help of Freya, Hephaestus was hosting a banquet for gods and their Familias. In honor of the new god, that is Nox, of course.

"An invitation to a banquet?" Hestia asked. "How lucky! I heard Freya-sama was also taking part in it!" Eina added.

"But what am I going to where for the occasion?? If i want to make a ravage, I'll need attention!" Hestia comments.

Akira chuckles silently, Hestia remarks his giggling, "What's so funny?" Hestia asks him. "Nothing, i just taught of something~" He responds.

Hestia doesn't know what to reply with. What was he thinking now ?
