We continued hunting monsters for roughly two hours.

Over time...

Ding!

[Your Contracted Spirit: [Yggdra] Level has increased from Level 27 to Level 41/700.]

[Your Contracted Familiar: [Glutton] Level has increased from Level 79 to Level 80/80.]

[Your Contracted Familiar: [Nephilim] Level has increased from Level 56 to Level 63/300.]

[Your Contracted Familiar: [Red] Level has increased from Level 59 to Level 66/80.]

[Your Familiar [Glutton] has reached Max Level and can now Evolve and Rank Up!]

The familiars continued leveling up steadily and reached their maximum levels one by one.

Larger monsters emerged from the ocean depths, but none proved stronger than the ones we had already slain. Everyone unleashed their strongest techniques. It was an exhilarating time as we pushed our abilities to the limit and beyond.

Ding!

[Your Contracted Spirit: [Yggdra] Level has increased from Level 41 to Level 53/700.]

[Your Contracted Familiar: [Scarlet] Level has increased from Level 66 to Level 72/400.]

[Your Contracted Familiar: [Nephilim] Level has increased from Level 63 to Level 77/300.]

[Your Contracted Familiar: [Red] Level has increased from Level 66 to Level 73/80.]

Thanks to the rich mana and spirit energy saturating the first floor, we surpassed even our own limits. With every battle, our power grew noticeably, and the experience points flooded in at a massive rate.

Even my highest-level familiars gained plentiful levels from the surplus of EXP.

[Your Contracted Familiar: [Scarlet] Level has increased from Level 72 to Level 80/400.]

[Your Contracted Familiar: [Sapphire] Level has increased from Level 72 to Level 80/400.]

[Your Familiar [Red] has reached Max Level and can now Evolve and Rank Up!]

Even after two hours, one final horde of Ocean Beasts surged forth. This time, I combined the power of all my familiars and charged to the front lines.

Facing the mighty foes, I raised my sword, Scarlet, and drew the abundant energy of the first floor through my authority as Dungeon Master. The Dungeon Heart beat faster and faster until a giant pillar of azure, green, and red light formed in my hand.

Scarlet’s divinity exploded with immense power as I infused the divinities of Sapphire and Yggdra into one final attack.

"Begone!"

"Divine Dragon Sword of Genesis!"

The mighty roar of a dragon echoed as my blade slashed through every foe at once, cleaving them in half before they exploded across the sea.

It was a complete and devastating massacre. Over a hundred high-tier monsters perished in that single strike.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

It was a one-time opportunity, after all. The atmosphere here amplified my power to ridiculous levels. I doubted I could replicate something of this scale outside until I grew much stronger.

Still, the thought lingered. Luring powerful foes into my dungeon might be a smart strategy. I was clearly far stronger here than anywhere else.

Nonetheless, the battle was over.

Ding!

[Your Contracted Spirit: [Yggdra] Level has increased from Level 65 to Level 93/700.]

[Your Contracted Familiar: [Scarlet] Level has increased from Level 80 to Level 101/400.]

[Your Contracted Familiar: [Sapphire] Level has increased from Level 80 to Level 101/400.]

[Your Contracted Familiar: [Nephilim] Level has increased from Level 91 to Level 109/300.]

"Wow, you girls are all almost level 100!" I gasped, clapping as I watched them grow so strong.

All four of them quickly returned to their humanoid forms after turning purely spiritual to fuse into the blade. The moment I landed on the beach, they rushed over and hugged me tightly.

"That was refreshing, Master!" Scarlet laughed. "I can’t believe we slew so many beasts! That was the best fun I’ve ever had! Hahahah!" She pressed my face into her breasts repeatedly.

"Indeed! I am overflowing with power! So this is how it feels to be level one hundred!" Sapphire nodded, patting my head. Her tall, muscular body pressed warmly against mine. "I wonder, can’t we reach max level if we keep doing this? Perhaps the next evolution is already around the corner?"

"You’re being way too optimistic," Nephilim said with a slightly jealous tone, pulling me back from the others and kissing my face. "Also, stop hogging Master all for yourselves. I have been by her side much longer... and I won’t lose. If kisses are what wins her over, then I shall deliver. Mooch. Mooch. Mooch."

"W-Wait! What are you doing?!" I cried, unable to free myself from their arms, hugs, and everything else.

"Master! Thank you so much for helping my divine realm!" Yggdra sighed in relief. "Also, I can’t believe I leveled so much. Fufu. Almost level 100! How incredible is that?! Thank you! You have earned a lot of hugs, cuddles, and kisses from Mama Yggdra."

"Mama Yggdra? Since when do you call yourself that— Aagh!" I cried as she stole me from Nephilim with her roots and wrapped me in her big arms.

I could not free myself as she hugged me tightly and kissed every inch of my face.

"You’re so cute, Master. So cute ever since you were a baby! The cutest master alive, fufu!" she chuckled, kissing me nonstop.

"E-Enough! Uwaaahh!" I cried, my face burning red with embarrassment.

"If she’s turning red, that means she loves it," Scarlet said.

"Do it more like this!" Sapphire added.

"W-Wait!" I gasped as Scarlet and Sapphire joined in, kissing my face as well. "No, stop it... Eugh..."

"Fufu, I am joining!" Alice said, appearing beside Yggdra and adding her own kisses, covering me in white lipstick marks. "So cute... Master, you’re the cutest."

"I am not the cutest!" I protested angrily. "Ah! N-No!"

I was powerless to fight back. They were simply too strong. I was left completely at their mercy, being smothered with kisses until I nearly passed out.

Even though I kept struggling, deep down I felt incredibly happy.

And so I passed out from the sheer joy of being smothered between my beautiful, voluptuous familiars...

I’m sorry, Aquarina...

I hope she doesn’t get mad...
