Chapter 50 Jake Vs Goliath Electric Boogaloo

I cheerfully rolled out of bed with Lili after our long night together and helped her get cleaned up as a form of aftercare from our rather rough joining.

Hestia leered at us as we walked upstairs, and I saw there were a few futons laid out on top of the pews which explained why none of the other ladies joined us as we slept but I didnt see Aisha, Bell, Ryuu, or Syr anywhere?

I stretched as I entered the church main and then asked Hestia my prior thoughts. "Oh, they all went to get some stuff. Oh, and Freya went to go collect a few things she said we would need." I nodded to Hestia and saw Haruhime walk through the back of the church who gently smiled seeing me.

"Soooo I just want to say all this stuff burning down is all your fault Hestia..." I clearly joked but even still Hestia clutched her chest as my words rang true.

She furiously pointed at me with a shaking finger as her face turned red. "What the hell do you mean Jake!"

I helplessly shrugged. "Hestia, I mean just think about it. Before you came from the heavenly realm did all this stuff happen in Orario without Evilus being involved?" Hestia froze as though struck but then she slapped me on my thigh in annoyance.

"Heh more like you are the one lighting things on fire, I am a gentle goddess and other than helping manage this Familia I don't even really leave this church." She grinned and pointed at me. "No, it's when you joined me that the world became chaotic."

I helplessly shrugged as it was true in her own way not to mention as an outsider with a golden finger, it was inevitable for me to make waves.

I decided not to argue with the goddess anymore and it wasn't at all that I didnt have rebuttal, I just wanted to make sure Haruhime didnt feel left out so I turned to the much gentler to my heart fox girl. "So Haruhime do you plan to join the Takemikazuchi Familia with your friends who have been looking for you?"

She looked down at her hands that were nervously twirling in her lap as she spoke softly. "I wanted to stay with Aisha, so I joined Lady Hestia last night after you went to bed." Huh well that's interesting, I suppose.

"Well in that case, welcome our family and I hope you are ready for our shenanigans..." Now Haruhime looked a little nervous but that didnt stop her from scooting closer to me.

"So how far have you gotten in the dungeon Haruhime?" I questioned making me facepalm at her answer.

She shrugged as she blandly replied. "Ishtar's adventurers would drag me all over the dungeon and would even bring me to buff them during battles against the juggernauts to help them level up."

So, I am going to assume she probably has the second most experience in the dungeon besides Ryuu, but either way she is going to join our adventure parties as she already has an ice spell at this point and combining me boosting her level up spell and then boosting my own fire could probably allow me to kill the Amphisbaena without having to make a massive minefield in the water.

'Actually, its best we test how that works before we decided a raid plan.' I thought and then poked Haruhime who without me even noticing had wrapped her tail around my waist as I was in deep thought.

Asfi cried out to me seeing me pull back from its split open head. "Keep hitting it! It will regenerate!" 'Yeah I know that...' I thought grimacing at the throbbing in my hands after slamming my axe through the hard as hell skull of the monster.

But even as I was shaking some feeling back into my hand and ignoring her incessant complaining I saw the monster's head explode into steam and before the steam could even fully dissipate it was fully healed and was already crawling back its feet as it roared at me.

This time I had no interest in testing my armor's capability at blocking the sound waves as I saw the wave literally dredged the ground and throw tree's aside like it was nothing, so I franticly dodged by flying sideways around the monster and then shot forward and sliced open its Achillies heel making it crouch on its knees.

A series of loud explosions greeted me as the residential adventurers living in Rivira casted their own spells and blasted me aside from the force of the various elemental effects.

I could faintly hear them cheering in the distance, but it was short lived as the Goliath soon staggered out of the smoke screen of the spells.

Thankfully the Goliath was now walking towards the crowd of mages who were franticly taking mind potions to prepare for another volley, but I made that unnecessary as I remembered that the monster's core was in the middle of the waist, and I just rammed into the small of the Goliath's back and started pouring my purple flames into its back which were obviously more powerful than it's regeneration as it couldn't heal the charred portions of its body.

I could feel its death was announced as a loud crack rang out throughout the floor and the monster poofed into smoke leaving its drop's but sadly no monster stone and making me fall to the ground in exhaustion as I didnt want to chance using my jet boots with how low mind I had.

"Ughhh this was a terrible idea." I moaned as a set of boots stepped beside me and likewise collapsed to her knees.

"How did you get in here? The exit to the floor is blocked and I would know if there was a level five around here?" Asfi questioned me.

"Fuck Hermes." I said simply making her chuckle and if I had to guess she thought I meant that Hermes somehow brought me down here, but I wasn't going to correct her.

"Actually who are you to begin with as I should know of you with that kind of strength...' She muttered.

I just ignored her and after grabbing my drops I staggered off as she tried to likewise stand up but failed having probably fought the monster for a long while as the only level four in attendance, she was probably not far off from just falling unconscious right then and there.

"Hestia I am back!" I called cheerfully after getting back to my feet from being launched from the fire portal.

"What the hell happened to you!" Hestia and Lili cried seeing me stagger in and just drop into a pew exhausted.

I had a lovely idea... "Blame Hermes for whipping his metaphorical dick out in the dungeon and calling out a mutated monster rex in the middle of Rivira." I groaned sinking into a nice soft chair as the room looked ready to grill me as everyone was back from there morning errands.
