Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 210 - [Forsaken Labyrinth Conquest] 3/69; Nixephine Memories And Stronger Monsters

[Day 163]

When I woke up, I was surrounded by my nude wives who were all sleeping over Nixephine and Nesiphae. There was a certain murky smell in the air, most likely due to last night orgy. I decided to wake up my wives while taking out several whole houses from my Item Box, deciding to take a bath. The houses werenʼt as big so the baths were small and could fit at best four people. There was a unique house that I designed with a massive bath and a big door, this was originally designed for Nesiphae but not Nixephine could use it as well.

Although Nixephine as around the same size as Nesiphae, her lower scorpion half make her wider than my Lamia Wife, so she ended up breaking the door in the process of entering. After considering it for a while I decided to just bathe her with my [Heat Manipulation] and [Water Manipulation].

Meanwhile, I checked her stats once more to discover that they have not changed at all and that she had kept all those ridiculous numbers on her base form, to top it all she also had levels now and could become even stronger, but she needed absurd amounts of EXP.

She told me that she hasnʼt taken a proper bath in a millennium and finally experiencing it with a ”true” body was something very unique.

While bathing the beautiful Girtablilu Empress, I decided to ask her some questions as I was very interested in her past.

”Nixephine, do you remember something more about your pasts?”

Over my words, Nixephine wondered around her mind for a while, trying her best to remember.

”Hmmh… Itʼs very hard to remember things, everything seems… cloudy… Each time I remember something, itʼs very small and it doesnʼt really tell much…”

”I see… At least can you resume what you remember?”

”Well…”

In the end, Nixephine remembers that she was once the Empress of the Girtablilu of the Scorching Sands Region in Vida, itʼs a faraway region of this continent to the south, the Sun hits pretty strongly there and itʼs a very arid region.

Although it is also said that this area is like this due to the overconcentration of Earth and Fire elements colliding with each other but not enough to form a volcanic zone. She remembers herself as quite tyrannical, enjoying wars and conquering other Demi-Humans Kingdoms.

I also asked her about the Girtablilu that spawn in the Dungeon, and if she felt anything for them.

”Oh? Those little bugs? I donʼt really care… From the little that I remember, I always saw my Kingdom as a tool, and my people as well, but now that I am with you and have to serve you, Master, I suppose I am your tool now, fufufu, itʼs quite exciting…”

Hmm, Nixephine does indeed have a unique personality. She is rather ”evil” in a way, but that just makes me like her more, it even feels like a natural attraction… She also seems a tad bit sadistic and masochistic… She likes to dominate others but her heart races when she is dominated as well.

After admiring her flawless and beautiful dark brown body and washing each part with care and various aromatic soaps and oils, my other wives were bathed as well and Rimuru, Mady, Gaby, and Adelle began to cook as usual. My children were also awake and playing around while killing some weak monsters that tried to ambush us pointlessly.

Due to the changes in the dungeon, monster ambushes in big groups had become very common, but because we were still in the first ten floors, their strength was subpar to us and our auras were enough to make them submit the moment they entered.

Although I could easily enslave them in this state, I preferred to leave them as easy EXP for my children and wives.

Vudia flew around over her Golden Golem Throne while shooting hundreds of tiny Gold Projectiles powered up by her electricity, turning them all into pulp, she would celebrate every time she gained a level and asked for my pettings.

Meanwhile, Ailine used her own majestic Aura to make the monster submit as she made them explode in different colors with her magic. She liked to imitate Vudia and used strong Thunder Magic, she has even tried to acquire Vudiaʼs Gold Magic, but it seems that she was not able to, as this ”Magic” is more like a psychic manipulation and generation of matter. It was related to Elements Manipulation skills and were not truly Spells.
