Makoto-san, is this ice magic? An enemy attack?

The temperature inside the frozen dungeon lowered sharply.

Of course Momo and Hero Abel woke up.

Hero Abel is trembling most likely from the cold.

Momo is most likely fine because she is a vampire, she isnt trembling.

But she seems strange.

Master, who is that woman? (Momo)

Momo pointed at Dia who was hugging me.

Wait, eh?

Momo, you can see the Great Water Spirit Dia? (Makoto)

Huh? Since when did you secretly bring a woman? Aah~, she is so beautiful~. (Momo)

No no, thats not it at all.

Wait, Momo, you are scary.

Wait wait, whats happening here, Dia? (Makoto)

Our King, with you giving me a name, I have managed to incarnate in this realm. I will serve you till death do us apart. (Dia)

Huh? (Makoto)

W-What does she mean by incarnate?

Uhmthe Great Water Spirit that you would have to train your magic proficiency to be able to see has now become someone anyone can see?

T-There was such an effect in giving a name?

Makoto-san, who is that girl? She seems to have a fearsome amount of mana (Abel)

Before I answered Hero Abel, I glared at Dia.

I heard none of this, Dia. (Makoto)

Teehee. (Dia)

This woman, she hid it on purpose!

Kuh, making a face like that of Noah-sama.

Master~. (Momo)

Makoto-san? (Abel)

UhmMomo, Abel-san, about this girl (Makoto)

While getting internally flustered, I explain about the Great Water Spirit Dia to them.

She is the Great Water Spirit Undine? (Abel)

When you gave her a name, she turned visible? (Momo)

Aah, Our King So lovely (Dia)

Hero Abel and Momo were looking at Dia, but the person herself was in her own world.

Or more like, you are clinging too much.

Hey, please dont cling so much onto Master! You just joined and all! (Momo)

Huh? I have been by his side all the time, you know? You are the one that just recently became his disciple, right? (Dia)

Master, this girl is cocky! (Momo)

Our King, this shrimp is cocky, isnt she?! (Dia)

Oi oi, they are already fighting.

Fighting between members isnt allowed in this party. (Makoto)

Muh. (Momo)

Hmph. (Dia)

Momo and Dia went pui and looked the other way from each other.

I feel like the pains increased.

Also, Dia can speak the common language.

So skilled.

Even so, theres something that bothers me.

Are you always visible, Dia? (Makoto)

No, I will be hiding my figure in the Spirit Realm most of the time. Theres the chance that the annoying Gods in the Divine Realm will have their eyes on us after all. (Dia)

The Gods of the Divine Realm? (Momo)

Will have their eyes on you? (Abel)

Momo and Abel looked in wonder.

Geh! This topic is bad.

I hurriedly cover the mouth of Dia.

XXXXXX. XXXXXXXXXX! (Dont talk about how my faith is with the Titan God Noah-sama. Abel is a Hero of the Holy Gods!) (Makoto)

XXXXXX! XXXX! (I-I am sorry! Our King!) (Dia)

I warned her in Spirit Language.

That was close.

If they were to discover I am a former Apostle of an Evil God, I dont know what Hero Abel would say.

More so when the current Apostle Cain is the killer of Abels mentor

I will be hiding myself now, okay~? (Dia)

Dia disappears.

What a whimsical girl.

I am tired

I will rest for a bit. Lets resume our exploration after that. (Makoto)

Understood. Then, I will keep an eye around. (Momo)

Thanks, Momo. (Makoto)

You really go at your own paceMakoto-san. (Abel)

I heard the amazed voice of Hero Abel, but I ignored it and laid down.

My body feels heavy.

The moment I laid down, I immediately was attacked by drowsiness.

I didnt dream anything.

After I woke up, we walked through the heart of Laberintos.

The ground and walls had magic crystals that were releasing lights of many colors.

It is a beautiful dungeon.

It looks like an inorganic dungeon at a glance, but there were springs like an oasis here and there, and places where trees were growing thickly.

I could see birds and small animals there.

But

It is quiet, isnt it, Master? (Momo)

Yeah, is this really the Core Floor of Laberintos? (Abel)

Momo and Hero Abel had questioning expressions.

The reason for that is because we havent seen any monsters at all for a while now.

There should be Calamity Designation monsters roaming all around the place in the Core Floor of Laberintos.

It is also called the Nest of Dragons.

It wouldnt be strange to be attacked by dragons at any moment

Fufufu, they must have gotten scared of my mana. (Dia)

Dia was dancing smoothly in the air.

There was mana overflowing from her body.

It is mana that feels as if it were a bomb on the verge of exploding.

She stands out beyond belief.

Dia, you cant reduce the output of your mana? (Makoto)

Oh my, Our King, this is already the lowest I can go, you know? (Dia)

Seriously? (Makoto)

In my eyes, it is an amount of mana that feels like just before someone shoots a monarch rank spell. This is apparently the usual for her.

Hero Abel and Momo were wary at first because we were in the Core Floor of Laberintos, but now the tension in their faces is gone.

It is most likely as Dia said.

Even dragons arent showing because they are wary of her mana.

This has turned into quite the different situation than calculated.

But this isnt bad.

Things being peaceful isnt bad.

Also, I have to confirm our power.

Hey, Dia, if this is the lowest, whats the highest when you gather mana? I think saint rank spells could be used without any issues, but could it be that you can gather mana enough to use god rank spells? (Makoto)

I am sorry, Our King. I dont really understand this saint rank and god rank stuff. I think thats a measure of people from the mortal realm (Dia)

I see. (Makoto)

It is true that the grades of the spells that people decided on has nothing to do with the Great Water Spirit.

But if it is how much mana I can gather, then I can answer. I want to say the mana of all the water of this world, but you wouldnt be able to use it as you currently are. If it is in your current state Our KingI can call my Great Water Spirit sisters from around the whole world. They will listen to you as well, Our King. (Dia)

Sisters? Theres not only one Great Water Spirit? (Makoto)

Theres others. The Spirits that were once one were torn apart by that wretched Titathat certain war (Dia)

She must be referring to the Titanomachy

That mythological talk.

Even so, I didnt know there were more than one Great Water Spirit.

Got it. When I am in trouble, your sisters will help me out too, right, Dia? (Makoto)

Thats right, Our King. (Dia)

Looks like several Great Water Spirits will lend me their help.

Thats reassuring.

Dia went hmph! and pushed her chest out proudly.

That gesture is similar to Noah-sama.

Is Noah-sama doing well?

At that moment, my sleeve was tugged.

It is Momo.

Master, theres a gaze observing us. (Momo)

Where? (Makoto)

I hurriedly turned there.

It is true that I think I managed to see something with Farsight for an instant there.

Ah, it must have hidden after making eye contact with me. It is most likely a dragon. (Momo)

I didnt notice at all (Abel)

Me too, Abel-san. (Makoto)

The specs of Momos body after turning into a vampire are fearsome.

If she trains magic on top of that, I feel like she will pass me in fighting power in an instant.

Thanks, Momo. (Makoto)

Ehehe (Momo)

I pat Momos head and she clung to me happily.

This girls so cute

It is hard to believe she is the same Great Sage-sama of the future.

Her looks are exactly the same, so theres no doubt she is that same person though.

Theres no need to worry, Our King. No matter the monster, it should be okay with me here. (Dia)

Dia cut into our conversation.

Lowering our guard like that can cost our lives, right, Master? (Momo)

Momo grabbed my hand tightly.

It is true that we must not lower our guards, Our King. Synchronize with me. (Dia)

Dia also grabbed my hand.

Uhm, having both of my hands occupied is a bit

Yes, you two make sure to be wary of the surroundings. (Makoto)

I let go of their hands and use Detection.

Theres no monsters nearby, as if natural.

We continue our exploration for now with caution.

But in the end there was no monster standing in our way.

It has been half a day since our exploration.

We arrived at the deepest part of the Core Floor.

This place is (Makoto)

The Deepest Floor of Laberintos (Abel)

Theres a giant gate-like entrance in front of us.

The gate is half-open, and there were stairs going even further down.

I thought there would be a barrier on it, but it doesnt seem to be the case.

Is it telling us to come if we dare to?

The legendary Holy Dragon is here

I gulped and went down one step at a time.

It was a long long staircase that felt like a downhill.

The steep slope suddenly became gentle.

And then, the bare rock ground now had plants growing from it.

Despite being inside a dungeon, it was overflowing with bright light.

However, that light is not from the sun. I could tell it was made from magic.

The ground had green spreading thickly, but they were all plants I havent seen on the surface.

The Deepest Floor was a dome-like gigantic space.

Also the big bodies I can see here and there are dragonsmost likely Ancient Dragons.

Even when we approach them, they dont come. I feel likewe are being watched.

It is a bit scary.

It doesnt seem like they will suddenly attack us, but they dont look friendly.

We advanced slowly.

There was a spring at the center of the Deepest Floor.

This spring that is made up of a massive amount of mana that must have flowed from the Star Veins was sparkling.

There were pure white flowers blooming around that spring as if surrounding it.

That place alone was overflowing with more light than the other places.

I noticed that that place is the center of the Deepest Floor.

At the side of the spring, theres one giant white dragon lying down.
