Milkers in the Dungeon Chapter 16

War Shadows were honestly... My favorite monster so far to fight. They gave a more valuable monster stone, and with their human size, and very clear weakness in their brain crystal, they were easily dealt with as well.

Though offensively, they were bar none, the most dangerous monster in the dungeon on the first twelve floors of the dungeon. Besides the Silver Back and an Infant Dragon, anyway.

But Silver Back's and Infant Dragons were for one more on the rare side as elite enemies. And secondly, they were both huge, the infant dragon was still a horse-sized dragon with anger issues.

A loud crack rang out as Shenhe used her new claw hammer to crack open the head of a Killer Ant that leaped up into the air towards her.

And then I couldn't help a small smile seeing the new zipping arrows from Ganyu and Xianyun that broke through the armor of the killer ants as well.

"This One's pyramid style arrow tips in fact are able to deal with the armor haha!" Xianyun cheered with joy at seeing her newly designed arrow tips doing good work.

With a swishing noise, my conjured ethereal swords shot outwards and killed the last of the small group of killer ants, allowing Shenhe and Fillia to start cleaning up the kills. And of course, gather up the monster stones.

Then, as we were working, I watched with a dozen more floating magical swords forming around me as a wagon being pulled and escorted by a dozen adventurers came by. "Hold up young man. We are just passing through."

The speaker was a large dwarf, and by large I meant he was fucking fat. And by fucking fat, I meant his armor looked like a series of fried onion rings stacked atop one another.

But just because he was fat didn't mean he was weak at all.

I nodded and called out. "Then go in peace."

We then watched carefully as the cart pushed through the large atrium room we had been previously fighting in, and I counted a dozen and a half members of this group.

Fillia then whispered quietly after they passed by. "It's likely they are doing a money run as well. As I only saw some padded medicine bags. If it were a guild delivery to Rivira, then it would have had actual supplies on it." 

Fillia's observation was spot on. That and the adventurers in the group didn't look like they were the type to work for the guild. Also they didn't look like the type to be 'evil adventurers'

Sure, they looked at the girls with appreciation, but they didn't look ready to rob and murder us.

Still I didn't lower my guard until they had long passed us by and then I said more seriously. "They likely have a couple of level twos in their group so it's good we didn't force a fight." Although I could easily kill a level five even by catching them by surprise my divine sword's AOE attack.

I was still a very squishy level 1, and an arrow from even a mundane bow could easily kill or cripple me.

"Let's get going to the Pantry. Maybe we can find those cow beastkin who betrayed us as well." Shenhe said quietly with cool murder on her tone at the mention of those two big titty wretches.

And you know what... I wasn't exactly in a rush to save them either.

We all nodded to Shenhe's words and we kept moving. As it was looking to be a good dungeon dive today.

Across Orario... Tiamat's face pinched with disgust at the scent of filthy arousal, drugs, and other things hit her nose.

She strode forward through the red light district with her hand pulling someone from behind her.

Ereshkigal... Literally whining every step of the way and using her free hand to pull her oversized hood over her head to block the gazes of the amazons, whores, and the enjoyers of such activities who looked over at sensing the divine mother who was stepping with purpose.

The two divines strode up to the Verdant Pleasure. Home of the Ishtar Familia's headquarters and the Amazons in charge obviously blocked their way.

"Lady Ereshkigal, who is..."

But her response was Tiamat speaking loudly. "It is I! Tiamat, mother of life, the sea, and your very goddess. I am here to check on her as I have just arrived from Tenkai!"

The leading Amazon gave the two goddesses a look before chuckling and saying. "Alright then. You haven't brought any adventurer, so you can go up to see the goddess, Lady Ishtar. Already gave standing orders for Lady Ereshkigal to have free entry." 

Tiamat nodded proudly and like the mother she was on a mission, she headed into the palace with an unwilling Ereshkigal being dragged behind her.

And it was only within the silence of the large palace's grounds that Ereshkigal muttered quietly. "Tiamat... Ishtar won't change. You know that. Why are you making trouble like this."

But Tiamat just said calmly. "We gods are but guests of Gekai. We swore an oath not to use our powers or to hurt the potential of mortals as they are needed in helping drain the dungeon as well. Ishtar needs to clean up her act!"

Although Ishtar only had a single level five, her familia was in reality still one of the most powerful due to the sheer number of adventurers she had. To say nothing of the soft and cruel power she held by ruling over Orario's red-light district.

Still Ereshkigal said helplessly. "Then you should have waited for your own familia to get strong... It's not like you can suppress her like you could back in Tenkai with your own power."

To which Tiamat looked back at the cloaked figure of Ereshkigal, who was all but afraid of the sun's gaze on her form. And she said calmly.

"A mother has plenty of ways to get to her children... And if words fail, this sandle on my foot will clear her head up right quick!" Tiamat said firmly.

But inwardly, Tiamat still new that the proud Ishtar wouldn't be cowed via a simple beating... She needed to be tamed, and put into her place like the rest of the war goddesses who went a little crazy when their leashes were too long.

And there was another secret weapon Tiamat had planned. Despite Ishtar herself trying to be the queen of whores, she was still a fertility goddess, and that could be turned against her.

If she refused to behave... She would just have to have Jake make her daughter see reason after he made her breasts too big to be running around, causing stupid issues. Stupid issues that shouldn't even exist when she should be just taking care of all the beautiful children her many Amazon children were having!
