Chapter 304 - Here's Your Reward!

-----

"Yes… She's something extremely exotic, a Doppelganger…" said Natalia.

"I see! I see! She's so cute…! Hehe, I am going to enjoy you tonight! T-Then after this, can I join your crew, Natalia-sama?!" asked Jake.

"Of course!" said Natalia.

Everyone looked at the man smiling perversely as Boxxy sat down over his lap and smiled at him, resting her arms over his shoulders.

"Hmm, you look tasty~" she said.

"S-She's quite rough… I like that… So, where can I go- huh?!"

Jake realized way too late that sharp fangs were piercing through his shoulders, the arms of Boxxy had turned into masses of melting flesh with countless sharp fangs, piercing through his skin!

"W-What the…?! B-Boxxy-chan?!" cried Jake, as he was shocked to find out Boxxy's face distorted itself, spreading over as she turned into an aberrant slime made of flesh!

"Hehehe… You look delicious…" she said, her long tongue licked Jake's entire face, tearing apart skin and eyes with it, as it had sucker-like razor teeth on it.

"Aaaaaggggghhh…! N-Natalia-sama! Help! HEEEELLP…! GYAAAAAAAHHH…!"

Boxxy's entire body suddenly covered Jake's body, as he began to be devoured alive, pulverized by her jaws very slowly, so he died an agonizing death. Boxxy herself felt angered at him because she learned she had been enslaving the natives of the planet, and made sure his death was not quick.

CRUNCH… CRUNCH… CRUNCH…

"Hmm, human meat is always so tasty! I want more! One is never enough…" said Boxxy while still eating.

"You still have him inside of your mouth and want more already? You're such a gluttonous girl…" sighed Yuki.

Meanwhile, the rest of the party began to discuss their next course of actions, as they quickly decided to infilter into the city before anything else this night, and quickly rescue the slaves from all the points.

Thankfully, there were only three brothels all over the entire city, and they contained the most slaves in there, the other slaves were mostly spread around, and would be hard to retrieve, especially because each one was given to a different person and worked as servants.

However, there was also another gathering of slaves, a few hundred were being used to extract the soil in the shores to the other side of the city, they were also going to be rescued this night without doubt!

But aside from this, there were other things troubling the group as of now, especially things related to what they heard.

"It seems that Valen had made a bounty out of us? He doesn't have our faces though, but he said that whoever could find us would get a lot of Credits…" said Abyss.

"Well, if he doesn't have our faces yet, then there isn't much to fear, right? We can always just camouflage or hide in the shadows with me." Said Erebus.

"You're right… but still, I can't shake this uneasiness out of my own mind, I fear that we might get attacked by enemies in the middle of our travels and that we would be ultimately forced to fight them… we have to prepare ourselves as much as possible…" said Abyss.

"Hmm, Abyss is right, let's take a break until the night comes, and we can prepare something. I recommend everyone to build formations inside your divine realm, like Chaos-sama taught you, with that, you will be able to receive a boost in your capabilities and even enhance regeneration whenever you need it in a dire situation." Said Belphegor.

Formations were an advanced form of magic constructs, often seen as the next step after magic circles, by accumulating runes and many catalyst, often as divine materials extracted from divine beasts, magic circles of great power can be engraved in certain areas, with a variety of effects.

Gods are known for having the advantage of using their own divine realms to set up formations inside, they can activate these formations at any time and acquire extra effects to their capabilities.

When Chaos and the rest fought against the Demigods, they experienced these things, and realized how powerful they could truly become if they were to build many formations.

"We had been all working on them." Said Abyss.

"Yeah, I'll keep doing so for a while then, until the night." Said Yuki.

"Nom… Yeah, me too~" said Boxxy.

"Then let's rest for the moment… Does someone wants something to eat?" asked Nesephise.

"Me!" said Boxxy.

"You're always hungry!" cried everyone, glaring down at Boxxy.

"Geez, isn't Chaos-sama the same?" sighed Boxxy.

"Hehe, okay, oaky, I will go cook something… Erebus, can you make me a shortcut to the swamp area?" asked Nesephise.

"Yes, use that." Said Erebus, manipulating his own internal dungeon body, which was like his equivalent of a divine realm, and opening a new passage that led directly to the swamp.

"Thanks!" Nesephise said, quickly running inside, everyone followed her, it was better to rest inside of that place than in these dark dungeon rooms.

Everyone was quickly greeted by the Saphibian people, the twins Armonia and Ermenia greeted Nesephise happily, while the rest of the children gathered around her and the rest.

"Ah, you're back, how were things?" asked the Elder.

"We are slowly advancing to our goals, but we'll take a small side quest and do a few things, we'll rescue your people." Said Abyss.

"Our people? The other Saphibians?" asked the Elder.

"You mean… the slaved ones?" asked the chief, a burly man rescued by Nesephise back then, when the other three gods attacked the village.

"Yeah, we found a large concentration of them! We also plan to rescue anyone else through Erebus clones that can travel in shadows, he had made a special formation capable of detecting Saphibians." Said Abyss.

"Ooh, such bliss! This is the power of the Gods that serve the Great Chaos-sama!" said the Elder.

"Praise the Gods! Praise Chaos-sama!" said the chief.

The people were fascinated by their kind hearts and demeanors, and quickly praised the group as gods, praying to them while kneeling… it could be said that Abyss had introduced them to the Chaos-sama religion off-camera…
