As I flew through the sky activating my Speed boosting skills, I resembled a flash of pure light that pierced air itself, in a few minutes we reached the depths of Floor 50, suddenly, the burning desert became dark and cold, there was a small underground section of dangerous caves made out of hardened sand, that could crumble at any moment.

Such a place was often not explored by the Sphinxes, this is why they did not have any information about the Boss, they had never encountered it in the first place.

Sand flowed through the ceiling like waterfalls, the ground in these underground sections was not any different than the ceiling, as it was extremely frail and would often crumble, sending those unfortunate enough to their doom, falling through a large precipice.

However, I just had to use the Labyrinth's Sovereign Magic Spell 'Dungeon Area Assimilation and Manipulation' to manipulate the sands at my own will, converting them into solid rocks that would never crumble, like this, although I was flying, we didn't risk the sand falling over us, we would be unharmed for the most part, but it would have been pretty annoying.

As I continued through, ruins made out of pure gold appeared, and the presence of a powerful monster awakened.

Sensing our presence, from within the ruins, a massive Golden lion showed up. It had long feathered golden wings, four heads, and its feet were like the talons of a bird. It had multiple tails, all of them having sharp needles leaking poison.

"Grooowwwl!!!"

Its size was tremendous, surpassing the fifty meters of height, each head looking like it could eat a whole building like a snack. Its wings released sparking light and its entire body exuded a dignified Aura, it was a combination between Holy, Light, and Life Attribute.

The Giant monster prepared itself for battle as its muscles bulged and its aura became reddish, its six eyes were engulfed in flames of rage, using its sharp talons, it jumped towards me with the intent of destroying me.

However, this Boss was far from Megusan, and it did not even compare to Athos, so a level of cautiousness was not as needed. I realized that I could easily kill it through this angle by simply releasing a large breath attack in the form of a beam through the jaw of my dragon head, but I decided to leave it to some of my wives and children, so they have some fun.

Amiphossia decided to put her plan in motion, as she expanded her Phantasmal Soul widely, creating a small domain of the undead and ghosts, Geraldine, Seishin, Sesshomaru and Shirohibe appeared, accompanied by the countless of other Ghosts that she had tamed, they resembled a giant mass of wailing and dreadful beings.

"Now, everyone! Possess the Sand!" she commanded, as every ghost worked together as if they were the same creature, possessing the sand and rocks surrounding the Lion and grabbing it in the middle of the air.

"G-GAO?!"

The giant tentacles wailed in the terrifying words of the dead, even the Giant three-headed Lion was a little bit frightened, wielding its Light and Holy Magic, it quickly tried to purge the death with its magic.

Blinding yellow lights showered the 'Sand Golems' created by Amiphossia's ghosts, however, a barrier of lightning appeared covering them, as if they were a thin coat.

"I won't let you!" said Vudia, as she controlled the electricity produced in her fingers to create a barrier over the 'Sand Golems'.

The 'Sand Golems' quickly shouted in anger as they created a large arm and punched the Lion on its face with immense force, even if they didn't use any Technique, the power of such a heavy arm made the Lion groan in pain.

"GUOOON!"

Without giving it a second opportunity to retaliate, a second Sand Golem emerged, this one was covered in golden sand as well, being controlled by both Amiphossia's ghosts and Vudia's Magic Gold, its weight was even greater than the one that punched the Lion previously. By using its entire body as if it were a mace, the golden sand golem crashed over the lion's back, sending it flying through the air like a meteor.

"GAAAAAAOOOHH…!!!"

But before the Lion could even recover, two blazing figures appeared behind it, as if they were about to be crushed by the Lion by their own will.

"GAH?!"

It was a muscular and beautiful red Oni with a tyrannical smile, Oga, and a young and handsome Ashura with red skin, white hair, and eight arms, Ryo, who had transformed using its Skills into a stronger version of himself, its musculature now was almost similar to Oga.

"Alright, Ryo-kun! Let us blast it off! Inferno Barrage!"

"Alright, aunt Oga! Onslaught of the Eight Divine Fists!"

Oga and Ryo worked surprisingly well together as they released a powerful barrage of blazing and shining fists that took the form of giant punches and shock waves through the air, breaking the wind itself, the powerful blows intercepted the flying Lion Boss as its body was covered in large holes, its bones breaking and its innards bursting into a bloody mess, the three heads instantly vomited blood, as the beast shrieked in agony, the centrifugal force made by the two sent it flying through the opposite direction.

"GAAAAOOOOHH…!!!"

As the three lion's heads could barely muster the strength to watch where it was going towards, it saw Aarae, Ailine, Gaby, and Ismena chanting a powerful spell, combining their Magical Auras into a single spectacle of aquamarine colors.

"Tandem Magic; Ocean's God Thunderstorm Judgement!" shouted the four at the same time, as a large magic circle over them opened a portal to the ocean, a flood packing up the force of the ocean and thunderstorms emerged, flowing towards the three-headed Lion with immense speed."

"G-GAOO?!"

Flash!

The Lion used its magic powers to create a large barrier that tanked most of the damage, but the whole force of the attack made its already broken bones break even more… And it seemed to realize that something wrong was going on because it was not regenerating any of its wounds.

"GEHH… GAAOOH…!"

Mustering the strength that it could in the ground, it activated a powerful boosting Skill, its muscles once again bulged and its Aura became fierce, for a moment it forgot about pain as a berserk-like attitude took a hold of its mind.

"GROOOWWLL!!!"

Its wings expanded as they released piercing rays of Holy Light, which were blocked by the teamwork of Ailine, Vudia, Aarae, Ismena, and Rimuru.

Meanwhile, its tail began to shoot bullets of poison everywhere, capable of melting the golden bricks of the ruins, however, those were intercepted by Amiphossia's Miraculous Medicinal Princess Magic Spell 'Heavenly Antidote Barrier' and her own domain, the poison was easily neutralized in seconds.

Oga and Ryo rushed towards the lion's back, using their blazing fists, they torn apart its tail and then crushed one of its legs into bloody mush, the Lion shrieked in agony but it twisted its body, directing its jaws towards the two.

"GRAAA!!!"

Its giant fangs shined in the light as it released a powerful Biting attack towards the two, however, this was blocked by powerful Dark and Slicing winds that pierce the lion's mouth, cutting his tongue and pieces of their mouths.

"GRAAAAAA!!!"

It was Altani and Acelina working together from the other side, the two floating in the air with the Spell 'Levitate' that I previously cast in the two. The two held their weapons as they flew like a sharp meteor, their lances were as sharp as needles, and the immense speed provoked by the propulsion of their Wind Magic made the fly like a bullet, piercing one of the Lion heads brain and making it burst into pieces.

Clash!

Suddenly a massive beam of concentrated magic power was fired from far away, piercing the lion's stomach, vaporizing its flesh, and leaving a hole that let others see the other side of the beast, it was Charlotte who had emerged from the shadows grabbing on her magic cannon.

Somehow the Lion was still alive, but this quickly ended when Lilith appeared from its other side, wielding her large Battle-Axe and Mace, she smashed and sliced the two left heads into minced piles of flesh, blood, and broken bones with the immense power granted to her by her evolution to a Chaos Human.

"GAAOOO…!"

It was a very one-sided fight, but it ended in a nice practice for everyone.

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 Boss's 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 Boss's room, there was a large staircase that led towards an even deeper room, there wasn't 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 it's made out of gold…" said Vudia, as she tried to approach the Dungeon Core.

"Wait, Vudia, don't 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 'Labyrinth Plunder' a superior version than 'Dungeon Snatch'.

Once again, my soul shaped itself like a large and dark hand, greedily grabbing on the 'treasure' 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…

I was able to control if I wanted the Dungeon Core to be completely infected by my Attributes or remain its main attributes while just adding mine as secondary. I suspected that the second option would be the best if I wanted to later farm Life Attribute materials.

I selected the second option as the Dungeon was completely taken over by my Soul, its bright and shiny colors mostly remained, but hints of black dots appeared from time to time around its spherical body.

Ding!
