Chapter 685 Growing Stronger
-----
"[Spirit Fusion]!"
My powers and Eleanora's became one, as for a split of a second, she fused with my body, our spears became one, and they unleashed an ultimate barrage of blows. The combined auras turning into a ferocious, Blood Dragon.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
"[Vampiric Blood Spear Arts]: [Gluttonous Blood Flare Dragon]!"
"ROOOOOAAARRRRR!"
A gigantic dragon made of blood, darkness, and flames surged from within our blows, completely devouring the entire Wasp Queen, and then, detonating into a devastating explosion.
BOOOOOOOMMMMM…!
"KRIIEEEEEGGGHHHHH…!"
As the Blood Dragon engulfed the Wasp Queen into an explosion, the gigantic bug gave its last scream of agony before completely dying. The beast's charred body fell into the floor, completely immobile.
At this point, C Ranked Monsters seemed like a joke, and I had yet to even go completely all-out since my battle against Beelzebub, the amount of power we have acquired was simply insane.
Maybe after this, we'll even brave a B Rank Dungeon, who knows…
Ding!

Good, looks like I have grown much stronger once more. Six Levels in a single row is excellent. After having struggled for so much back when I was younger to Level up, to level up so fast now… It truly feels good.
"Hahh… I'm tired…"
POOF!
Eleanora quickly stopped her fusion, resting over the Wasp Queen's head.
"The Spirit Fusion wasn't even that necessary…" I said with a giggle. "Did you felt so excited you wanted to merge with me?"
"E-Eh?!" Eleanora suddenly blushed. "T-That's not it… Well, it does feels… it feels good."
"Sexually?" I wondered.
"W-Wha…?!" Eleanora quickly changed her attitude, from the bloodthirsty vampiric lady to an innocent maiden. "N-No, that's not it! Don't be a pervert…"
"Sorry, I just like to tease you sometimes." I laughed. "Anyways, [Store]"
FLASH!
The entire Wasp Queen corpse disappeared in a single second, stored inside of my Inventory. As the other bugs were all dead too, I picked them up one after another, and using the Inventory's Dismantling ability, I separated them all into pieces and parts, separating the Spirit Orbs they held.
As of now, we had already farmed over a hundred Spirit Orbs, they were one of the most valuable resources in this country, alongside the Monster Materials, of course. And well, there was also the Treasures within the Dungeons.
Every time the Dungeon Boss is defeated, they'll drop a Treasure Chest, much like the previous ones we've visited before, usually low ranked dungeons give some gold coins, magic gems, and sometimes, pieces of low grade equipment.
To make our funds we've mostly sold everything we get, and we split our earnings regarding the monsters. But we've come to an agreement where I'll give away 70% of my monster materials to all my friends instead if they gave me 50% of their Spirit Orbs, which we came to an agreement.
Some of them wanted to just give them all to me, knowing my Job Class needed them, but I didn't wanted things to be so unfair, so I decided to pay them back too.
"Anyways, with this, we're almost done! The last floor's the next one!" Erika said with excitement, running to my side. "Oh? Was I interrupting something?" She giggled.
"A-Ah, nothing at all…" Eleanora sighed while blushing a bit. "Anyways, is anybody too tired? Maybe we should move down immediately and take advantage of the buff we have."
"I guess you might be right in that regard. With Lily, we can extend the duration of the Buff Cards to twenty minutes, we've taken around… Nine minutes to take down everything here." I said with a smile. "Should we continue?"
"Alright, I'm not tired either." Eric nodded. "Alberta, are you?"
"Oh? A-Ahahah, aside from the bug guts over my armor, I-I'm fine!" Said Alberta. "The Buff Card of the Blazing Bear is really good at keeping me from exhausting myself!"
Alberta had become a mixed fighter, between a frontliner tank, a long-ranged damage dealer, and also our support blacksmith. She was quite crucial, so if she was tired, we would rest.
"I'm also alright." Elfriedden nodded. "Let's get down right away, we can't waste this power…"
"Same! Let's do it!" Chris said with a laugh.
"Okay then, let's continue our charge!" I commanded.
Swiftly, by riding Fenrirs and while I was riding the Cave Drake, we moved downstairs at an amazing pace, reaching the last floor so loudly that once we landed on the ground, we were greeted by over a dozen Giant Black Spiders, the only rulers of the last floor.
After all, this Dungeon was the Nest of the gigantic Black Spider Queen who rested on its depths. Her children, which could even reach as many as a hundred, happily greeted our arrival with fierce roars and sharp, red eyes.
"SHIEEEEEHHH!"
"KRIIEEEHH!"
"SHAAAAH!"
Hissing ferociously at us, the Giant Black Spiders charged towards us right away, their enormous legs making the entire dungeon tremble with each step.
