Chapter 1538: Preparing An Army Of Monsters

After around three hours of taking a small nap, I woke up to another pile of monsters. Black, White, Aquamarine, and my Chaotic Beasts were there as well, mostly resting.

"Oh, you guys are back. Thanks for everything." I said rather happily. Looking at the enormous pile of monsters' kind of filled me with a strange sense of happiness. I suppose I was happy they did as I told them and were competent? I had forgotten the feeling of ordering other people already. Seeing how I've been an Empress of my place and all.

Huh, my mentality has changed quite a bit since I got here. I guess I've gotten… humbler? Maybe. I am still quite insane sometimes, so I can't take my word for granted in that regard. But there's this strange feeling of "honesty" that I didn't felt as much before dying.

Perhaps because I started from the bottom and got to know so many new people in a world where I can't just resolve things so easily… It feels definitely different. This world is also mysterious, and the people here so realistic too. Ah, of course they are, this world is real and also Genesis and perhaps, the many other worlds out there.

It's just that… Well, I cannot truly sort out my thoughts correctly yet, so I shouldn't really pursue to try to think cute things about my mentality change.

I might as well solely focus in growing stronger for the moment, especially in this situation where things might get even worse in a few more hours.

"Thank you for helping, sleep well for now." I said with a smile, seeing my Ego Weapons sleeping while the Chaotic Beasts, restless, simply remained looking at me in silence. "You guys… Erm, sleep too. Can you sleep?"

The octopus and squid-like entities looked at one another, and suddenly closed their various eyes, dozing off. I guess they can really sleep… Huh. Well, they might die in the war. Chaotic Beasts are disposable summons, so I might as well not get too attached to these little guys… Though it makes me a bit sad when I put it like that…

…After that, I looked into what they brought, it was 153 monster corpses. I think they just hunted anything within the vicinity of at least two or three kilometers from here. Black, White, and Aquamarine are covered in blood too, so I decided to use [Purification] on them to clean them and left them as new as ever.

Lastly, I decided to wake up the little Cooking Knife Dungeon Ego, Silva, who was currently sleeping with all the commodity of the world atop a large pillow I had inside of my Item Box. She preferred it way more than the gold grass below.

"Mwuh… Huh? Mama?"

"M-mama?!"

The adorable little Silva suddenly called me mama! I couldn't help but feel flustered about it. Who wouldn't?! She was so cute that it was the normal thing anybody would feel, despite looking like a knife!

"Sorry dear, but you have to wake up, we brought you more food and your MP is full. Can you help me do the things you were doing before? I want you to be very strong and gather monsters to help us. Is it possible?" I asked her as humbly as I could. Forcing her made me feel bad. So if she ultimately refused, I guessed I would have to give in.

"Okay…" She said sleepily, without even refusing. Silva had such a sweetheart!

"Thank you!" I said happily.

"Hmm… I am still slightly tired, but this looks appetizing enough." She said happily, as she began stuffing the monster corpses inside her dungeon body while absorbing them into MP. She was able to store several times her own MP, so it was fine to regain it while having it full, as it would simply become "stored" after she devoured a corpse and absorbed it into MP.

While she absorbed the corpses, I checked her status again and decided to move my sight towards her Summoning Skill, the Salamander and the Ogre were there.

[Summon Dungeon Monster: Lv2]

Skill Proficiency: 780/10000

As a Dungeon, you're able to summon Dungeon Monsters. Each Dungeon has their own set of unique monsters they can summon. The monster's innate power depends in the strength and level of the Dungeon and the level of this Skill.

Summoned Dungeon Monsters cannot level up by themselves nor develop skills but can become better at their already acquired Abilities through practice, and if they have high amounts of Intelligence Stat, they're able to learn patterns and even languages.

New monsters are unlocked with each Skill Level. All Stats of all Summoned Monsters increase by +20% with each Skill level naturally. Additionally, their HP and MP regeneration increases by +5% with each Skill Level.

Available Monsters:

Level 1: [Monkey Barbarian (E- Rank)], [Armored Rhino (E+ Rank)]

Level 2: [Ogre Warrior (F- Rank)], [Fire Salamander (F+ Rank)]

Level 3: Locked.

We have yet to summon them because she fell asleep right after we got the opportunity. Now it is finally time to see what they might all be about. From what I am reading here, the Barbarian Monkeys and Armored Rhinos are only E Rank. While the Ogres and Salamanders F Rank… Can't we get straight to B or A Rank, please?

No? I guess… But still, thanks to the Skill having leveled up, it granted an amazing boost to the monster's total stats passively, so they were probably twice as strong as they usually are. Maybe comparably to a Rank higher than normal. Both were F- and F+. Are the next Summons finally going to be more decent at D- and D+? Maybe we can finally get something okayish by then, but Silva needs 10k Skill EXP for that, she ain't getting it any time soon, even with her previous loop of eating the summons and then summoning them again constantly.

"Burp… I am done, mama." Silva quickly said, as she seemed to have devoured all the stuff. The portal leading to her true dungeon body was open as well.

"Alright, let's see…!"
