Doll of Death
Chapter 21

Chapter 21

After exploring the capital for a day we decided to head out for Undir Cavern. It was about 15 kilometers away, after about two hours of travel time we arrived at the entrance. The dungeon is a seaside cave, we have to expect a lot of aquatic monsters. There's a sign with the name of the dungeon next to it and a warning.

Undir Cavern

Danger Rank: A+

Warning: Recommended to be at least Level 75 before entering.

Be at least level 75? Eh, I'm sure we'll be fine, it is probably talking about standard monsters, unique monsters outstrip the regular counterparts by almost a rank. We step inside, and the place is very open once inside a bit. I see pools of water in various places and the place is very damp. Oh, what's that crawling over there, it looks like a giant horseshoe crab.

Race: Titan Horseshoe Crab Species: Insect Monster Level: 68

whistles This place doesn't joke around when the first monster is already level 68, two levels from evolving. Oh, a few more appeared.  Their defense is high but their magic is abysmal. I see something on the ceiling. 

Race: Abyssal Torrent Slime Species: Slime Level: 83

Level 83!? What's it doing near the entrance, it's the first time I see a dungeon where monsters matching the rank appear normally and not as a boss. I see why this place is A+ rank and not just A rank.

Rosa went to battle the horseshoe crabs and I went to battle the slime. I initiated combat with the slime on the ceiling by throwing my dagger at it. It hit and caused the slime to let go of the ceiling from surprise. It was probably focused on killing those horseshoe crabs. Before it landed on the ground I ran to where it was falling and jumped in midair to knee kick it. The slime went flying to the wall, I took out my scythe and launch an energy blade at it. I get near it and it shoots water magic at me, I dodge it and use Dragon Fist on it. It collapsed into a puddle of water and a magic stone materialized. It died. 

I look at where Rosa should be and see three fried horseshoe crabs and Rosa eating the cooked meat. I see those horseshoe crabs got cooked to death, I see a bit of electricity on one, looks like Rosa used Electric Magic. I walk over and pick up the horseshoe crabs magic stones. I think these horseshoe crabs can't be sold anymore, the electricity made their shell to brittle, it crumbled from my touch. It doesn't matter, we don't need the money and we have plenty of it.

We spend the next few hours exploring the dungeon running into a variety of B-A rank monsters. Goliath Horseshoe Crab, Abyssal Axolotl, Torrent Frog, Thunder Eel, Abyssal Hoverfish, Giant Torrent Snail, Torrent Slug, Torrent Serpent, Storm Bat, and Aquatic Killer Tarantula. There were a lot of weird creatures here, the highest level monster we saw was a level 87 Aquatic Killer Tarantula. This is the fruits of our hunt.

Level Up! Rosa reached Level 70!

Level capped.

Evolution Available!

Level Up! Lilith reached Level 70!

Level capped.

Evolution Available!

As for why we don't evolve while training, simple. If we do that the enemies would start giving less experience. Anyway, let's check out our evolution.  

Lilith:

Evolution Available!

Doll of Death

A doll golem that embodies death. The body is made out of Star Metal. Emits a truly deadly aura. Danger Rank: A+

Rosa:

Evolution Available!

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Princess of Magic

A monster that has reached the pinnacle of magic. Emits a magically soothing aura. If not already, will become an advanced monster species. Danger Rank: A+

Our new evolutions seem interesting. I'm actually becoming a Doll of Death, like my namesake back in my previous life. As for Rosa, first Mage then Witch and now Princess? Well, I admit that she has reached the point in magic where there's nothing left to gain. I can't even think about what evolution can even give her at this point besides better stats.

We initiate our evolutions, I start glowing and I can feel my body breaking apart and recording out of Star Metal, my body size is now an 11-year-old girl, my black hair still reaches my butt and it has golden tips. My features look more lifelike, my body even has tinges of color as if I were an actual living creature, my dress looks more exquisite, the sleeves go from only covering my shoulder area to my whole arm.

Rosa turns into her slime form and starts glowing, the pink symbol on her body glows and becomes even more intricate, and similar to when she was a Magic Black Slime there are floating sparkles inside of her. She turns into her humanoid form and here were much bigger changes. She looks 10-years-old, her black hair reaches her back, it has a pink stripe through it, but the main change was her outfit, on her head what used to be a big witch hat is now a tiara with a tiny witch hat on it, her dress looks like a princess dress with the exception that the skirt area only reaches her knees and not covering all of her legs, she still has the gloves, the dress and gloves updated the pink symbol, and her shoes went from witch shoes to fancy pink short heels. The Ancient Sceptre she got is also perfectly placed on her waist and fits the outfit much better now. 

(Lilith) "Well, you look princess-like."

(Rosa) "Look at my pretty dress. spins"

True Doll of Death

Well, I shouldn't underestimate the evolution system it still has some nice stuff to give to Rosa, her species changed into True Slime, it is apparently a slime that has become one with their element and can now ignore physical limitations. She has a few new skills, first Princess Aura, she can manually emit a soothing aura that makes those in the surrounding think fondly of her. Then there's Thought Acceleration, which does as its name suggests, Parallel Thought, which lets her have multiple simultaneous thoughts and Prediction which can let her predict her opponent's next move with increasing success, at S-rank it has a 90% success rate. Her Alchemy skill advanced into Master.

As for me, I have a couple of new skills, Death Aura, I can manually emit an aura that can instantly kill weaker enemies, Illusion Step and Dimensional Step merged into Phantom Step, combining and enhancing their effects, Levitation which apparently allows me to float in midair, it's not as versatile as Flight which gives unrestricted aerial movement, all this skill lets me do is float in place, there are still applications for it, and finally two of my resistances advanced into immunities. 

We also gained new titles. Rosa gained Magic Princess, which grants her magic higher strength priority over magic from equal or lower rank opponents. I gained True Doll of Death, it gives all my assassin and death related skills a 25% increase in all effects.

After evolving we found the entrance to the boss chamber. We step in and there are 3 monsters there, a group boss, interesting.
