Reaching the stairs that connected floor 55 to 56, we quickly descended at max speed. Due to my increased senses and Aura that I had on this armor, I quickly felt the presence of new monsters on our way down, which were more than fifty meters away.

Being already tired of these pointless ambushes I thought about some kind of solution to blast them off from the distance and while asking for Vudia, Ailine, Rimuru, and Brontes's help, they channeled their strong Thunder magic on my entire body as I concentrated and molded it with my lighting Aura. And then, with only a thought, a powerful Thunder flew from the ceiling of the dungeon towards the small rooms that contained the myriad of monsters and spawn points.

BOOM! CLASH! CRASH! ZAAP!

All the rooms were suddenly blasted into debris and all the monster insides were burned by the thunder and turned into ashes no long after. I was able to do such long-range attack by extending my Aura tremendously until the monsters were within its reach, and then I only needed to channel some magic, that would have taken some time without the help of my wives and children, to just blast them away with my Thunderbolts, their chance to fail were minimum.

I kept repeating this process until every room had been converted into piles of burnt bricks. A sudden wave of EXP rushed towards our bodies as the system once again showed its typical message.

[Calculating EXP gained…]

In ten minutes, we reached the floor 56 and we were greeted by more burnt corpses that I quickly gathered using my tail. Although more Monsters ambushed us, their power was subpar compared to the previous waves. Or perhaps my strength with this armor was just too much? Maybe soloing the next boss by myself to test on my strength could be a nice thing to do.

As we approached the stairs that connected the floor 56 to the floor 57, I felt a powerful presence in the dungeon itself! A strange aura extended its power across the dungeon, from the walls to the floor and the stairs. A new monster was showing itself, by its aura alone it was a Mini-Boss as well.

Suddenly the walls and floor began to mold as if they were made of a formless mass or slime, creating different shapes, combining themselves, hundreds of gigantic humanoid figures made of the dungeon materials appeared from the walls and floor, and from its back, a colossal one appeared as well. All of these beings seemed to be Golem monsters and not just the simple golems of the first floors, these were made with incredibly powerful Cores that shined on a bright scarlet red. Their bodies were massive and colossal and their strength was apparent by their size.

The first one hundred Golems didn't hesitate at all as they rushed towards us, and without waiting any longer I as well got to work. Leaving some of the Golems to my family, I rushed like a lighting bolt towards the nearby group of over thirty Golems, their bodies towered over ten meters each and their arms were as thick as a mountain, they didn't have eyes but small red flames served as their eyes on the cubic heads they had.

With incredible speed, ten Golems tried to stop me but I slipped off their blows and released a strong Aura shockwave that conjured thousands of bolts around. However, the Golems seemed mostly unaffected as they were made of ground and rock, Earth Element was resistant to Thunder.

As they were about to charge over me, the sparks that remained on their bodies suddenly generated combustion that created golden flames. As the flames expanded through their bodies, with a sudden burst, their massive bodies started to explode as the broken pieces of rock fell over the ground.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

Ten Golems fell into pieces as their red cores shattered. The other twenty golems didn't care about the death of their "comrades" as they rushed towards me, raising their gigantic arms they threw a barrage of blows, while some on the back used their massive red cores to throw powerful Beams of concentrated Earth Magic Essence.

With my incredible speed, any of their attacks were completely useless as they never hit me, I used my long tail enhanced with my thick and surging Aura as I blasted three Golems in one blow, breaking their cores with a powerful force.

Another three went for me from my back, but with the incredible speed and senses that this armor gave to me, I disappeared out of their sights, seemingly as if I had teleported. I then appeared on their backs already releasing a powerful blast of thunder on their chest. My pure Thunder didn't do much damage, however, it once again created golden flames that detonated the golems into pieces.

Seeing the strength of my armor, the remaining golems tried to blast me away with their Earth Beams, however, the moment their powerful attacks converged into the place I was, I suddenly disappeared as they ended up attacking each other, three more Golems died this way, the remaining ones were desperate to get rid of me, their cores shined on a bright yellow light as their magic suddenly exploded, the moment they did, I was already far away from them. It seems that they tried to do a kamikaze attack, it didn't work for me, sadly.

As I was about to kill more Golems, my aura began to voraciously devour the Golem's shattered cores, they were filled with strong magic in high concentrations. The strong magic power was directly absorbed by my Armor and Aura as they distributed the power through my entire body as well, reaching my Orbs on my forehead and chest, which were already fused with the armor. After eating every Golem Core in less than ten seconds, my Aura once again expanded wildly in the form of a myriad of coiling thunder dragons.

I rushed through the Golems as I devastated them with my Aura alone while supporting myself with my massive tail from time to time. The Golems, albeit big and sturdy, were still easy to beat with my armor. As my Aura kept on feeding on the Golem's Cores, it increased once again in power and mass and was now voraciously telling me to go "eat" the Colossal Golem at the back, the gigantic being was too big to move properly, however it had hundreds of small Core son its body, which is used to shoot Earth Beams everywhere. It was easy to evade for me but my family was having a hard time. Thankfully Rimuru, Zehe, Nanako, and Acelina combination could create amazing Magic Barriers that protected everyone but took a lot of attention from these four.

My family was doing fine with the rest of the Golems, and my wives and children were even blasting them away with their powerful techniques, magic, and blows. Valentia was blasting away the Golems with her massive fists like nothing, while Nesiphae was cutting them down in half, even if they weighted a mountain, her arms and ax were surely heavier. Others like Lilith and Charlotte had a harder time doing it solo because of their sizes, but by working together they managed to take down some Golems.

Alice, Mady, Gaby, and Adelle were working together, skillfully fusing their magic elements into strong multi-elemental spells. Throwing powerful rays of elements or solidifying them into floating weapons of various elements. They were currently creating massive claymores made of Blood, Thunder, Water, and Light. It seems like Rimuru had taught them how to make her favorite Rainbow Claymore Rain spell that she was currently using while protecting everyone from the Colossal Golem with her Rainbow Barriers.

Things would be going certainly better if it wasn't for the Colossal Golem constant harassment, and while wanting to fulfill my Armor desire, I rushed like a lighting bolt towards the giant behemoth. In one second, I was already in front of it as I enhanced my Aura and body with various buffing skills, my muscles bulged as the armor mutated into a more savage look and less majestic. My two massive hands became sharper as I pounced at the Golem with immense force.

Deciding to use some of my Techniques and Arts, I released a powerful burst of forces and shockwaves colliding with each other, which were devastating to the Golem's colossal body, it suddenly began to fall apart in pieces as the immense forces went through its entire body.

Like a crazed demon, I kept on ravaging the entire body of the golem until I found its Cores, which I destroyed one by one, shattering into pieces and being quickly devoured by my Armor and Aura. My power increased with each Core devoured as my blows became devastating to the being.

When I found out its main Core, a powerful presence surged from it as it tried to oppose my onslaught. Red lighting bolts rushed towards me but they were merely absorbed instead of damaging me. Without caring at all about the last stand of the colossal Golem, I started to ravage its incredibly big Core, which was over ten meters wide a spherical shape. My blows seemed to not affect it at first, but as I punched and released my techniques, the force was enough to quickly generate cracks. The cracks turned into holes as the core started to be destroyed piece by piece. My Aura suddenly busted out of me as it changed into a voracious dragon that started to devour the Core while it was still alive.

With a flash, the Golem Core released a massive amount of energy as it slowly died. The energy of course was absorbed by me in time. The sudden burst of power once again filled my body as my armor evolved even further. Just how much can it evolve?

The Colossal Golem body started to fall into pieces as the dungeon floor trembled chaotically. Before I could even celebrate this small victory, I sensed sudden Spawn Artifacts appearing out of nowhere in the next ten nearby rooms. I quickly flew at max speed as I destroyed them one by one. Luckily stopping another senseless wave of monsters.

Afterward, I healed some of my children and wives out of their fatigue with some snacks and liquor as we quickly proceeded through the dungeon once again. This time, my armor had changed to a new and amazing degree, now resembling a massive golden metallic beast of over twenty meters long, I resembled a furious bird-headed thunder dragon.

I could even feel my armor merging with my flesh and Aura the more I devoured things with it. I wasn't really worried if this could be "permanent" as I was able to easily mold my body into a Slime and slip off this massive armor at any time, the connection would be lost of course, and the armor will most probably turn into magic dust.

Using my amazing Sparking Senses and my amazingly wide Lighting Aura Domain, I disarmed every trap that I sensed with a slight thunderbolt. There wasn't any need to use Slime Clones for now.

Due to my new size, I decided to carry every one over my golden back, even Nesiphae, Nixephine, Amiphossia or Valentia were almost weightless on my back. With everyone on my back, I was able to travel at max speed without holding back or having to wait for my family to catch up.

Flash!

In ten seconds, we were already in the middle of floor 57! Although more of these massive Golems appeared, I rushed through them with my strong Aura working as a barrier while my wives and children supported me with their magic from over my back, even after encountering three Colossal Golems, I blasted them away with my powerful Thunder Beams, that I could now spit from my Thunderstorm Phoenix metallic beak by concentrating my Aura over there.

And then, there it was! The small stairs that directly went towards the floor 58, were a long and intimidating door was concealing the powerful presence of the fifth boss.

"At last!"
