***

The plan was shockingly simple. Remus finds a more palatable mimic with his senses and we go to him. Since it should have the best treasure, according to the logic - the stronger the monster, the more it brings profit. And then we all get involved. After all, in fact, the mimic opens his mouth when he wants to eat people like me, and the mouth - the most unprotected place and, I'm sure, hit all of us in his mouth, he will hurt, whether it is even the strongest mimic in the dungeon. After all, not for nothing dragons in various fairy tales killed by piercing their jaws with his sword ....

And we have a mimic and comparing him to a dragon was unnecessary. Basically, the plan should work without flaws, in case of what happens, we can stab it in the mouth with a fireball.

'Master, behind the wall is the most delicious!' - Rem and Ram enthusiastically licked their lips.

Now let's check it out. Taking the wooden key out of the ring, I held it up to the wall, waiting for... magic? There was no keyhole.

And I was right. When the key made contact with the door, it shattered into small pieces, and from it... strange mana flowed out and was quickly absorbed into the wall. I jumped away. Slowly the wall creaked, and then lines of light travelled across it, forming the pattern of a door, and then the wall slowly opened to the side, revealing to me a room as flat as the one before, only this one had no other entrances.

'The master! There he is!' - Rem pointed her tentacle towards a steel chest once we were inside. And strangely enough, that one glowed, just like the wooden one.

'Get ready sisters, now we have to try and kill it in one hit!'

The sisters silently agreed, forming blades on their tenacles.

Next, I approached the chest with a carefree step and stopped next to it.

- Hmm... a treasure chest! What an unexpected find!

'Evaluation!'

Steel Chest

Strength - 89%

Quality is normal.

Material - low grade steel

Value - impossible to determine

Hehe... the chest wasn't much different from the wooden chest. But damn it, I'm getting more and more interested.

Slowly, I placed my hand on the chest and ran it over its surface. Hmm... gloves are in the way, I probably should have taken them off... but okay.

'Now, girls!'

I took the chest by the sides and started to lift it slowly. But no sooner had I lifted it even a little bit than it came to life and threw itself at me, pinning me against the wall like a bad schoolboy to a girl and opened its mouth as if it wanted to suck me in: its hands quickly clutched at my arms and its tongue licked me, testing the taste. Everything said that he had me pinned down and was assured of his victory. Mimic was convinced that his victim couldn't do anything to him, he was literally savouring my taste! But no sooner had he licked me as best as he could, his tenacles quickly slid into his open mouth and began to deliver rapid stabbing blows.

*SIGHING* Three stabs pierced his tongue and possible throat. Mimic groaned in pain and backed me into the wall.

*BAM*

I landed next to the wall and the girls were already on top of him and crumbled his mouth, ripping out chunks of meat.

- YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! - The mimic screamed in pain, falling on his back and tried to close his mouth, but couldn't. His arms flew off to the sides and the sisters began tearing his mouth open and were already inside him. The lid of the chest protruded at an unnatural angle downwards and hung from the piece of meat, and he himself quickly went silent. Blood was spurting in all directions. At the smacking sounds, he twitched finely until he fell completely silent.

Experience +150

Yes... it was quite a sight. As I approached, the sissies were engulfing the mimic, dissolving his insides into themselves. Soon, after about a minute or so, they were adding a little more volume and glowing with contentment.

'Master! We found the thing inside him again! Here, have a look!' - Ram pronounced, finishing the chest along with Rem. Her tentacle extended towards me and a new item, a ring, fell into my open palm.

'Thank you, I am pleased with you' - and while I had the chance, I managed to use the assessment on the mimic and afterwards on the girls, stepping back to the wall and leaning against it. They have a strong emotion of enjoyment, as much as I can do without pouncing on the munchies myself.

Hmmm... lucky me, a new evolution is coming soon. Very fast... apparently, the 'portion' of deliciousness is not just food for them, like my magic - but material for evolution. I should have known that a long time ago. But... to feed them 'yummy' all my time... of course, it will be nice, and the sisters are happy, but fuck... I will not get out of here then...

'But I'll have to give them both more time. I want them to evolve quickly. After all, then they'll be much stronger, which is a plus,' I thought, watching the girls, twirling the silver ring on my finger. I wondered if I'd be lucky. If my ring was copper and this one is silver... it's also... I won't guess, I'd better check.

'Evaluation!'

Wind Ring

Strength - 79%

Quality - good

Material - silver

Value - ordinary

Enchantment: Shield of Wind

A transparent window appeared in front of my eyes, not preventing me from watching my sisters' new magical metamorphosis. The sisters simply glowed with their colours and were covered in a fine, incomprehensible crust....

Now this was unexpected, and I ran up to them excitedly.

'Master... don't worry... just... wait...' - I heard Ram's weak voice and they both crusted over. Right now I didn't know what was happening to them. Even with my magical vision, it was impossible to tell the difference. There were two stones in front of my eyes.

Visually...

- Eh... now that's unexpected, okay, since they're sure they're fine, I'll leave them out of the way and look at the copper ring.

Spatial ring.

Strength 69%

Quality - good

Material - copper

Value - ordinary

Enchantment: spatial inventory

Yeah... if we remember the previous evaluation of the ring, there... there was a description, here... there is none. And if we try to evaluate the enchantment itself?

'Evaluation!'

Spatial Inventory - allows you to store inanimate items in a spatial vault.

Well... at least that's how it works.

Wind Shield - deflects arrows.

...

Um, okay. Now I have two rings on my arms and arrow protection... useful, if you think about it that way. Now I won't be so scared to go out naked on the balcony and fear an arrow coming at me.

Heh heh heh...

Really, how much it will block is the whole question... Now... since my sisters are evolving, it's time for me to undergo skill evolution as well.

Dangerous, of course, but I put an anvil in the passageway just in case. It should definitely keep the door from slamming shut.....

Mentally, I prepared myself and agreed....

Darkness...
