Oooh! Bubu and Colora can now evolve! Theyʼll finally become B Rank, or even higher I guess. Depending in what their evolution options are. I was also max level now, so I can finally evolve once more and transform into an even more aberrant butterfly… or something else.

I remember my previous evolution options included a massive fly and a moth, I think, so my options in terms of monsterʼs bugs are opening wider with each evolution. However, I simply canʼt pick something thatʼs not related to my previous evolutions, that would completely make me lose my identity! Right?

Oh well, in more important news…

”Here, catch it.”

I threw the Cosmic Stone to Frank as he caught it and stored it inside his Inventory. With that, we got all of the Cosmic Stones in this area of the desert done! The only ones left are the ones from the approaching undead army.

POOF!

And then, a massive Treasure Chest appeared in front of me, almost as if I was looking at a déjà vu! Eh?! What?! How come thereʼs a treasure chest here? This stupid worldʼs dungeons donʼt even drop items at all, so how come this is real?

”A Treasure Chest…” I felt flabbergasted by this sight. But then I realized it must be some external force that gave me this… unless this dungeon by itself gifts treasure chests?

”Wait brat, did you create this?” I asked Frank, as he looked at his own treasure chest.

”I think so… I just ate the stone and it seems to have given me back more of my powers. Whenever I defeat a foe it usually can drop loot, potions, magic stones, even equipment.” Said Frank.

Oh so this motherfucker really does have that power… It kind of reminds me of my own! Ah, I want my personalized system back! She was even my wife… Ugh, I am sad.

But on the bright side, free treasure chest!

Ding!

[The powers of the [Half-Overseer: Frank]ʼs [Trait: System] has been activated!]

[The residual essence of the Boss Monster has been converted into [Loot]!]

[You received a [Dungeon Boss Treasure Chest (S Grade)] x1 for your participation in defeating the Boss!]

[Youʼve opened the [Dungeon Boss Treasure Chest (S Grade)] x1!]

CREAAAK!

The beautiful red treasure chest opened, revealing a sea of gold and jewels, and even other rare materials I had not seen before. There were also different colored potions, with distinct bottle designs, and more!

Ding!

[Youʼve received [Divine Gold Coins (A Grade)] x200, [Fiery Red Ruby (B Grade)] x3, [Thunderous Topaz (B Grade)] x3, [Blue Ocean Sapphire (B Grade)] x3, [Random Skill Proficiency Potion (B Grade)] x5, and [Heroʼs Elixir (A Grade)] x1!]

Woah! What with these random items?! What the heck is Divine Gold Coins? And then Rubies, Topaz, and Sapphires? This is certainly something out of a game… And two special potions as well, to boot. The first items seem to be materials for alchemy I guess. They do emanate a rich amount of divine essence, so I guess I could use them to upgrade an Ego or make one.

The potions seem to be quite direct in what they do, the Random Skill Proficiency Potions give random skill proficiency to some Skills, and then Hero Elixir increases stats permanently, it seems. Theyʼre nice little gifts from Frankʼs System I guess.

However, more importantly, thereʼs a few things I have to do here before leaving. I firstly asked Luminous to give me a hand, as we both used [Purification] and cleansed the entire Dungeon from any Miasma left behind, we wouldnʼt want another spawn from hell to emerge again like that fat fishman, right?

And lastly, I swam to the depths of the dungeonʼs last floor, following the presence of the Dungeon Fragment within the Labyrinth. Silva used her special abilities to guide me there, while I told everyone else to just go back to the surface. They were curious what I was up to, but didnʼt annoyed me over it.

”This presence… without a doubt! Mama, we are getting closer! Swim faster!”

Silva was very excited, the last time she absorbed another Primordial Dungeon Ego Fragment was about a week ago, and it didnʼt quite unlocked her powers. However, I know that this kind of stuff builds up. She needs to eat a few more so she can finally ”unlock” or ”awaken” something, like completing the pieces of a puzzle.

”Hey, I am swimming as fast as I can Silva, wait up for a bit!”

As we swam, we found a small crevice in between a wall. When we got closer, we saw a shining golden light emerging from within it. The crevice glowed with this mysterious yet powerful light, and that was, without a doubt, an Ego.

”We found it!” Black said. ”Finally…”

”Now Silva, go take it.” Said White.

”No, wait, we should do this carefully.” I sighed, swimming in front of the Ego attached to the wall. ”This Ego is the entire dungeonʼs pillar, if we absorb it carelessly, the entire thing might collapse.”

”Right…” Silva said. ”Then I could condense an artificial pillar…?”
