Everyone worked together tremendously well, but I suppose that me cursing the Boss with my Mystic Eyes, [Inhibiting Regeneration Curse], helped. Although I still think that they would have been able to easily kill it, it would have taken a few more minutes at most.

My family sat down in the dungeon to rest as they opened their Item Boxes and began to open the reward prizes, some obtained valuable consumable items that increased stats, while others obtained accessories, clothes or armor, weapons seemed to be the rarest.

Nesiphae and Nixephine began to butcher the almost destroyed Bossʼs corpse and Oga settled a large fire to roast the meat, Charlotte began to take out several materials that could be useful, such as fur, claws, fangs, eyeballs, and magic cores.

Meanwhile, I decided to look around the small ruins made out of golden bricks accompanied by Rimuru, Ailine, Vudia, and Zehe.

The ruins continued behind the Bossʼs room, there was a large staircase that led towards an even deeper room, there wasnʼt any time for torches to illuminate, but Rimuru created a sphere of floating slime with the Light Attribute infused on it, creating a convenient floating lap that could move by itself.

”Guu… The Dungeon Core must be around here, right, Masta?” asked Rimuru, while carrying Ailine on her arms.

”Yeah, I do remember that it was very well hidden in the Forsaken Labyrinth… though, with the Automatic Dungeon Mapping Spell, I already know where it is…”

”Mommy, where?” asked Vudia.

”Oh! T-There!” shouted Zehe, who was moving ahead of us while inspecting things, she was able to easily see in the dark with her Dark Vision Spell.

As we descended through another set of stairs, we found a blindingly shiny sphere that was covered in dust and hardened sand, it seemed barely taken care of. However, it was clear that this was the Dungeon Core!

”It is smaller than the one in the Forsaken Labyrinth…!” said Rimuru.

”Uwah, so shiny!”

”Can I touch it? Maybe I can control it because itʼs made out of gold…” said Vudia, as she tried to approach the Dungeon Core.

”Wait, Vudia, donʼt touch it!” I said, stopping her little hands from touching the bright sphere.

”M-Mommy?”

”Sorry, my love, but it is very dangerous for you to touch it. Dungeon Cores are created by Gods, and they are special artifacts that cannot be handled by mortals… but I am the exception, look… Dungeon Area Assimilation and Manipulation!” I said, chanting the Dungeon Sovereign Magic Spell while submerging my hand over the Dungeon Core as if it were made out of liquid gold.

”Oooh!” shouted Vudia as her golden eye sparkled with amusement.

Different than last time, the Dungeon Core barely resisted my grasp, aside from a few zapping sounds, my hand was entire submerged in it.

I then decided to manipulate the core and heal it, as it had several cracks around its spherical body, alongside a lot of dust that went inside the cracks.

When it was done and perfectly healed, I used the Dungeon Sovereign Magic Spell ʼLabyrinth Plunderʼ a superior version than ʼDungeon Snatchʼ.

Once again, my soul shaped itself like a large and dark hand, greedily grabbing on the ʼtreasureʼ that was the Dungeon Core, infecting it with my essence and Aura, alongside bits of my Soul. The Dungeon core quickly changed its color, becoming darker… However, I detected that there was something new that did not happen before…
