Chapter 147 – Clean-Up

Letting go of the anger was simultaneously easier and harder than John had imagined. Typically, he had kept his emotions on the downlow when he fought, so this was simply new and unusual. After a bit, however, his heart calmed and his jaw relaxed.

Aside from Aclysia, who looked slightly worried, everyone was smiling. “What did you realize, master?” the artificial guardian asked, she was afraid that whatever Undine had revealed to John was unhealthy for his psyche.

“That I should focus my effort where it belongs and that I should keep a level head,” John stated and shared the revelation with Aclysia.

At the end she looked calmed, even if not entirely convinced. “Take care that effort doesn’t become obsession, Master,” she left a piece of advice with him before joining everyone else in their happy expression.

“I will. Now!” he turned at the beige windows, “Let’s get through this!”

That was quite the good skill, it would eventually increase all of the four elemental girls’ stats by 50%, although John was not quite sure what the Main Stats were supposed to be. Observe would identify that over time, just because he would see the buffs. ‘Here goes hoping that Libido is not one of them in Sylph’s case,’ he thought.



John looked at the choices with wide eyes. He would take the left one, he needed experience more than items right now, but this was a very good reward, stupidly good even. He still had two more Keys of Forgotten Sins, therefore he could nuke the entire floor two more times and doing so this first time would not only give him instant access to this floor but also fulfil the Quest he had been carrying since the start of this whole grind. It really was insanely good.









Two level-ups at once. It had been a while since he had gotten that from a dungeon. He noted that he could also enter at any Floor between 5 and 10 now, which would be a non-insignificant time saver. With that done, he checked the reward for the Quest.



“Wha-!” Gnome quickly hid her crotch from everyone’s view by violently pushing the skirt back down. “You are awful, Salamander!”

“We all know you are a closet pervert, just admit it already!”

“I am no such thing!” Gnome cried out, but the way she decidedly avoided everyone’s eyes betrayed her lies. Sylph laughed at the whole scene from her lookout on Aclysia’s head.

Undine took the place where two of her sisters had stood before, in front of John. The slime girl hadn’t changed, she had the appearance of a little girl made entirely from a blue highly dense liquid. Her short hair twirled around a maelstrom at the back of her head and her misty white eyes stared at John as he asked, “Are you ready?”

Everyone went silent as John opened his status screen, his finger prepared to push the button once Undine was. Slowly her feelings filled everyone’s thoughts. Doubt, slight fear, but above that, curiosity and desire, the desire to no longer be the last one stuck in the first Tier, to be bound in a form so inappropriate for the environment she had found herself in. The negative emotions were drowned out and then he heard a single word, ‘Yes.’



He really wanted the Mending Elemental. A group with a healer was a lot safer and it would fit Undine as well. As it currently stood Undine was the least useful part of their party and that had been this way for a long time, her only job was to protect John from projectiles, a job Mana Protection did a lot better. Yes, he would take the Mending Elemental. A little nod from her confirmed that she was fine with it.

Undine’s form was suddenly consumed by a pillar of water. Her new form was revealed from the feet up. Naked feet and legs, long and reflecting the light of the sun outside beautifully came into view. She was still of the same light blue, still clearly a being based in liquid. A summer dress, a shade deeper than her ‘body slime’, formed, its skirt was short and the edges waved like a calm sea.

C-cup breasts formed above a pleasingly narrow midriff. Her shoulders were unclothed, contrasting with the sleeves of the same, darker blue. They hovered around her arms, which ended in hands with long, slender fingers. Her blue face was noble, from the form of her nose, to the elegant curves of her lips to the melancholic expression of her eyes. Undine’s hair was a single mass, separated from her head through tinges in colourations and segmentation. Towards the tips, the hair parted into individual strands. Swirling patterns within created the image of it flowing eternally.

Salamander whistled. “Hot damn, Undine, from a girl to a lady.”

John could only agree. Undine indeed now looked very much like a lady. Standing at 1,78 metres she wasn’t small anymore either, which Sylph greatly lamented. “I am the smallest again, this is unfair, UNFAIR I TELL YOU! Or maybe it is secretly great? Yeah, I am the smallest now! The very smallest, like no one ever was!”



“I demand an orgy!” Sylph shouted, “I do not know how that will make things better but it feels fair, so I demand it, are my demands met?”

“Sylph, you can’t just first get your solo time when you evolve and then rain on Undine’s parad-”

“Sure,” Undine said, an exceedingly rare instance of her actually talking out loud. Her voice was even more graceful than her appearance. An opera could have been built for her and her alone. ‘I don’t want to monopolize,’ she added mentally.

Well, it seemed like the decision for the evening was made.
