"W-Wait a second, please don't go yet!" My grandmother, however, stopped us before moving to the two doors.

"What's wrong?!" I wondered.

"Well, wait a bit…" She said, suddenly beginning to sweat a bit.

"Wait for what?" Miranda asked her.

"J-Just be patient, child!" Svartalf sighed, crossing her multiple arms. "It's almost there, why is it not showing- Ah, there!"

FLASH!

Suddenly, messages made out of darkness and phantom appeared above us, showing letters and items. [Congratulations on clearing Floor 1/5 of the {Phantom Dragon's Abandoned Castle} as a Party!]

[Rewards will be distributed evenly based on contribution and total monster slain.]

[You gained: [+100.000.000 Divine Power] [Dark Dragon Blood Elixir (SS Grade)] x1 [Crystalized Phantom Heart (SS Grade)] x1 [Divine Ability Fusion Marble (SSS Grade)] x1]

"Woah, we got rewards?!" I asked. "Is this… System, is this connected to you?"

"Not entirely, but I did feel a connection. I might have unintentionally hacked into it and improved the rewards." She noticed. "Much like it happens with Dream Dungeons you create. This entire "dungeon" has a very similar structure."

"TA DA~ See? Grandma is very generous and magnanimous! I shaped this like a Dungeon, so you get rewards based on the soul beasts you slay! It took a while to distribute them for some reason and… Huh? It seems the rewards are much better than I had planned, but that's for the best!" Svartalf said happily.

"Wow grandma! These are some cool rewards, thank you!" Benladra said.

"Yeah, they're nice. Maybe with this, I can strengthen my dark dragon bloodline." Kate smiled. "Oh, can this heart make my soul stronger if I eat it?"

"Yes! It is a consumable item that makes souls stronger, these rewards are all made so those that enter can both grow as dark dragons while making their souls stronger." Explained grandmother. "But nobody has ever explored it since I made it a few thousands of years ago… However, that has changed now with you all."

"Interesting rewards! A marble that can combine Divine Abilities sure sound amazing." Said Benladann. "Do we get one with each Floor?"

"Eh? I don't remember adding that reward at all though! I had added a Divine Ability Enhancement Marble, but it seems that got improved! Oh well!" Laughed Grandmother. "Whatever it is, I believe so, Benladann."

"Amazing." I smiled. "Well, Divine Abilities hit a limit at SSS Rank, but if we can now further combine them, maybe we could get new and stronger Divine Abilities. And using these marbles also makes it completely free, without Divine Power cost."

There are some Divine Abilities I am saving to create my Ascendancy Law, but there are also some that are just sitting there. So I might as well try fusing them together. If I'll get more marbles as I clear every floor, I'll end up with a lot. I'll try using them later though.

These could help me grow even stronger later, though I might need to first upgrade some more of my Divine Abilities into SSS Rank, and maybe learn some more supplementary ones as well.

"For now, we should continue."

Without further ado, we divided our parties again, because I wanted them to have the highest chances of success, I let my entire family create a whole party, while I went "alone". Well, not exactly alone. My weapons and my divine spirits are with me, and the system too, so I am never alone.

The second floor had only two doors, but both doors led to fifteen different rooms this time around, so double the amount of monsters than the previous doors. Nonetheless, it wasn't something that we couldn't handle anymore.

I dived into the series of rooms one after another, fighting the previous boss from floor 1, but now as a normal mob that appeared every now and then by the dozen. Accompanied with new enemies, such as Phantom Snake Banshees, Skeleton Wyverns, and Zombie Viper Dragons. freew ebnov el

I don't remember ever fighting so many Undead-type monsters ever before, and their fighting styles were all varied. Phantom-type Undead would usually attempt to sneak behind you and ignore physical attacks by turning non-corporeal for a few seconds.

The Phantom Snake Banshees gave loud screams that made my soul tremble, quickly making me flinch for a second, which the Skeleton Wyverns used to their advantage, using their sharp and long claws to release powerful strikes into my armor and then soul.

I had to fully reinforce my soul using a combination of Azure Ice Essence and then the Demonic Energy of my Demonic Physique to resist those attacks without being terribly wounded. Although my weapons were moving around rapidly and hacking and slashing them into pieces with a combination of my Soul Ether Coat and the [Divine Soul Pierce] and [Piercing Strike] Divine Abilities, they were still rather tanky, especially the Skeleton Wyverns and the Zombie Viper Dragons.

However, with a combination of powerful weapon techniques, my [Holy Sun] Divine Ability which was extra effective against Undead-type foes, even if they were Divine Soul Beasts, and my ever-growing Ice Magic powers, which allowed me to quickly freeze them, form shields, and spears to defend and attack, I reached the fifteenth room.

And what greeted me was the final boss was a single dragon-like soul beast, made of shadows and crystalized darkness. "That's the boss of the second floor! A Dark Umbral Dragon Shadow! The shadow of a great dark dragon turned into a monster." Svartalf explained. "I know it won't be easy for you this time, but-"

FLAAASH!

I summoned a giant sphere of pure holy light, which quickly engulfed the entire Soul Beast, blowing it up on the spot.

BOOOM!

"Phew, thankfully it didn't disappear when it died. Though most of the shadows were just that, darkness, it had a body inside, it was decently sized, huh?" I touched the carcass and stored it inside my inventory. "Do you have to end battles so anticlimactically?" Sighed Svartalf. "Haha, sorry, sorry. Anyways, we're done here." I stepped outside to find I was finally the first. Yeah, I did speedrun those fifteen rooms quite quickly. I only had to wait another minute before the rest of my family arrived.

"Aww, papa beat us to it!" Benladra said.

"Hahah! I won this round!" I said proudly.
