Upgrades Chapter 107

The wave of monsters were slain via fire and blade as my team and especially Parthurnax did work on the poor mindless bastards running towards us. "Well this is a good little nest egg." 

As this was a good bit of monsters killed which was not only money in my bank, but also some good fodder for my fusion projects.

"Are we going to camp out in Rivira or something?" Kali asked as she and Blake were looking exhausted from shooting at least a couple of hundred bolts from the crossbows they had.

I shrugged and said. "Well, I guess we can."

Still, we got to work cleaning up the mess we made which kept us busy... For a long while after especially after I put Parthurnax back into my fusion space with several large battle boars corpses for him to munch on.

And all the while as I worked. I could 'see' Lannsseax on the other side of the taming space perking up at the smell of the well 'cooked' meat of the boars.

Either way I stretched a bit before I said. "Yeah let's get going back to Rivira then. I could use some rest before we deal with another horde."

Though... One the other hand, poking the dungeon in the eye was a good way to get the Juggernaut created by the dungeon to kill me. And I most certainly coudn't kill the Juggernaut even with Lannseax and Parthurnax.

The Juggernaut was a level five and up blender that not even the Zeus and Hera familia wanted to fuck with, despite being a boss on demand basically.

We then made our way back down from the nineteenth floor and went back to Rivira with the trip being a quiet one due to how we had already killed most the monsters due to the monster on the floor getting caught up in the small horde that attacked us.

Once we got back to Rivira and I put down a fused metal house that could take a hit from even the Goliath without breaking down. While the girls settled down and started making some food, I was left to my thoughts as I myself relaxed a bit.

And from within the taming space, I heard the deep voice of Parthurnax speak. "You seem troubled by deep thoughts. Or you are... Lost perhaps."

I gave a slight exhale before I said thoughtfully to Parthurnax through a mental connection. "I am sorta. I am worried about the Zeus familia pulling more nonsense, and if they do. What the hell happens should Ouranous literally just throw in the towel and head back up to the higher realm?"

I wasn't arrogant enough to believe that canon WAS going to happen as not matter what karma changes things. Hell, if anything, even in canon, I believed that the mutated Amphisbeana burning down more then half of Melen would have been mentioned.

Hell... If I weren't there, and without my existence. Materia and also Eris the sword saintess woudn't have been there at Melen during the attack. Without myself, and Eris especially, with how Evilus took advantage of the attack. Melen would have, without a doubt, been burned down.

So I truly... Truly was worried about what the world would become if Ouranos just said 'Fuck it!' And decided to run off. As I knew of the old times, where entire tribes of Goliath's would roam the deep mountains and countless monsters would constantly flood the world.

And other than Ouranos? There wasn't another Primordial god who was here in Orario that would be able to keep the dungeon in a deep stupor with their overwhelming divinity smothering the dungeon.

Parthuranx was silent for a moment before he said a bit helplessly. "Those are heavy thoughts indeed partner... Something that should indeed be kept in mind. However, can you yourself do anything to change the course of the future?" 

To which I could only shake my head and say frankly. "No, Maxim is fucking driven to become immortal and damn the world if it gets in his way. He is the strongest non-god alive currently... Besides the One-Eyed Dragon anyway." 

'Is that the key? I need to force canon to continue and just either wait or help Maxim and his merry band of assholes go commit suicide by the overpowered dragon that was the setting's Madara-sized plot hole?' I mused.

I then sent Parthurnax a massive barrel of wine I had fused in my free time making the large dragon snort in amusement as I also took out my own large flagon to drink from as Kali spoke up. "Jake, the surface-born Battle Boar steaks are done. You want some eggs as well with some bacon made from the Battle Boars?"

To which I saluted the catgirl milf and called out. "Hell yeah, that sounds awesome!"

And thus like a fucking kind, I drank a heavy mead fused with divine blood that ran through my body like the fire's of Hephy's forges. All the while eating the fused meat of the surface monsters we killed previously, when I was making my way back and forth from Melen and around Orario.

"Man, this surface monster meat is fucking great. We need to get more." I said with a hum as I wondered how I could make up a valid excuse to leave Orario to get it.

Then Tina added rather calmly. "You are super rich, remember... You can sell off a couple elixers and put up a mission to have them bring the corpses of a bunch of monsters to you."

I nodded but then shook my head as I said with a frown. "No... I can't, as any large amount of monsters being shipped would take stupid amounts of distribution costs."

Still... Hmm maybe I could ask for an ice mage to freeze any kills that are made?

Anyway, my relaxed state and slight buzz was ruined all to quickly as Blake came in from the outside with a slight frown. "Hera's Captain Albion is here to see you Jake. She wants to commission a weapon from you, apparently." 

Albion... The sole level nine of the world, an elf, and of course a mage, wanted a weapon from me. Yeah, something fucky was going on obviously.
