Chapter 39: Obligatory Beach Episode

-----

It has been two days since I slew the two gods of Eclipse, and after having come back to my second home, the village of the Silver Moon Beast Tribe, and explaining to my family what had transpired, I decided to rest and relax.

Yes, it was quite a long day, and my family didn’t easily accept what I did either. My mother knew that these gods were enemies of humanity and that they had been actively generating the gates to fill Earth with monsters to farm human souls.

But even then, being so brutal as to directly kill the deities of a world wasn’t something that she’d accept with a smile. She told me that I had taken away the pillars of belief and religion from people, and it gave me some time to consider my actions.

However, after I explained to her that if I didn’t take these rash implementations out of spite but out of concern for the safety of Earth and the future of Eclipse, she ended up mellowing down a bit.

I still remember how it all went, even now. It was a rather important conversation I had with my mother. For a while now, she has been rather conflicted with my actions and my strength.

It was something that needed to be talked about.

Nonetheless, through the past yesterday and yesterday, we spent the day leisurely, relaxing, talking, and overall cooling down from the intensity of the previous days.

And for a change, I decided to bring everyone to the beach.

Yes, the beach!

I had yet to climb to the second floor, as I still had a few things I wanted to do there. One of them was exploring more of Eclipse’s beautiful landscapes. And that included a large ocean area behind the mountains that surrounded the village of the Silver Moon Beast Tribe.

I happened to pick up the last five missions from the adventurer guild that were related to these areas of the continent, which were about exterminating all kinds of S-Rank sea monsters.

The sound of the ocean waves was very relaxing, and for once, I was able to fully enjoy the salty scent of the ocean. I do plan to visit a beach back on Earth as well, of course.

But for now, this place is ideal to both relax and hunt down some critters.

RUMBLE!

The oceans trembled as I watched with a calm expression while drinking some fresh fruit juice as a gigantic three-headed sharp covered with red horns surged from the sea, splashing a huge tsunami towards us.

“GROOAR!”

It roared, and the tsunami came, only for it to quickly enter a small portal I opened within space, which I redirected back to the sea.

SPLASH!

“Come on now, are you going to ruin my peaceful evening on the beach?” I sighed.

As I was about to get up to take care of the beast, two flashing figures reached the S-Rank Three-Headed Horned Megalodon. It was Merkite and Urbosa, wearing rather sexy swimsuits I bought for them. Urbosa held a huge black spear with a sharp, white tip resembling a fang, while Merkite held a pair of long black and white swords, finely decorated with black scales on the handles.

Both of such weapons were crafted using the plenty of materials I was able to secure from raiding both the underworld and heaven. All the weapons were made using the fangs of that perverted man from the tutorial, who became a giant black dragon, and then reinforced using black soul crystals from the God of Deep Darkness and holy soul crystals from the Goddess.

And of course, I added a few more materials, such as his scales and so on. I never thought that degenerate would have such good-quality materials out of his body; I’ve been using him really well. His innate ability to negate magic through his scales translated to dealing a large quantity of damage against magic creatures with weapons.

Yes, although the major specialty of weapons made using his materials was the ability to ignore a percentage of the defensive stats of the enemy!

“Let us take care of this.”

“Alright!”

The twins clashed against the three-headed aberration. Three days ago, they would have never been able to match its strength. But thanks to the amazing weapons they had, the Nine Heaven Protection set over their bodies as infallible, near-indestructible armor, and their cultivation reached the Peak Stage of Rank 2. Well, they were considerably strong.

CLASH!

Merkite pierced the middle head with her two swords, slashing away its eyes and then opening the skull wide, revealing its brains splattering out into the sea, blood covering the oceans. As she did that, waves of emerald winds were released, and the tip of her head gained a few green-colored fur strands. This was her primary Element awakened from her Inner Elemental core, and she was able to summon Emerald Wind Ki.

Meanwhile, her sister Urbosa aimed for the head on the left; her spear was charging with purple lightning, and her entire body was overflowing with an erupting thunderous aura. Golden fur strands appeared above her head.

CRASH!

With a single strike, an explosion of lightning pierced the shark monster’s head, blowing it up into pieces. With two out of three heads gone, the beast panicked, using its magic to unleash a storm of water projectiles on the two girls standing over its large body.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

However, without trying to rely on my protective ability, the two intercept each attack with winds and lighting-infused sword and spear techniques. Explosions of thunder and swirling winds destroyed the water projectiles before they could even reach her.

“GRAAAH!”

The formerly three-headed shark then panicked, beginning to swim rapidly and back into the depths of the sea. Despite being a Level 400 S-Rank Monster, it acknowledges its strength and immediately attempts a swift retreat.

“You’re not going anywhere!”

“We’ve already decided you’re going to become lunch!”

The twins, however, rushed towards the shark rapidly, leaping over the sea and running over the water. They suddenly activated a special technique I taught them: Wind and Thunder Elemental Ki flowing out of their bodies as both of their Auras converged into one.

“{Elemental Ki Aura Convergence}: {Thunderstorm Aura}!”

Their elements merged together, and an Aura of both Wind and Thunder was formed. Both twins rushed down into the Megalodon, their weapons piercing the monster’s spine, generating an explosion of thunderbolts and swirling winds.

BOOOM!

The monster stopped moving, its body going completely limp as it floated above the sea, bleeding out. I hadn’t noticed, but it was roughly twenty meters big—quite a large catch.

“Phew, that was good!”

“This strength, I am slowly getting used to it…”

The two quickly ran towards me, bringing me their prey.

“Well done, girls! I think this one is another S-rank monster.” I nodded. “It should be... Yeah, this one.” I took a look at the mission papers. “With this, we got two down, three more to go.”

Behind me was another thing I had caught when we got here: a giant black and blue crab fifteen meters in height. It was called the Blue and Red Shelled King Crab, an S-Rank Monster of Level 350. It was known as the King of the Shore by many, which is why the locals never came to this beach since it appeared a few years ago.

Accompanying us on this trip were also the rest of my family. My mother and my sister were preparing a tent on the left side while preparing everything for a barbecue. There was also Ash, the twin’s grandmother, who was building a sandcastle with Hekita.

And there were also a few other families that decided to come along, including some of the elders that were trying to fish for something to eat or bring back to the village. Strong monsters were fairly common around here, but as long as I was here, nobody should end up harmed.

“Should we go catch another now?” Urbosa was wagging her tail. “I don’t feel tired at all now with this Ki energy flowing all over my body!”

“Me neither!” Merkite nodded.

“Come on, you two, take a break. Sit down with me and relax.” I told them, slowly eyeing their beautiful and voluptuous figures. Ahh, indeed, those swimsuits really look wonderful on them. These two girls are criminally sexy.

“I gained some levels myself- Ah, I’m all wet now…” Urbosa sighed, readjusting her bikini and sitting by my side. “Do you have something cold to drink? I’m a bit thirsty.”

“Sure honey.” Waving my hand, a portal to my Inner Realm opened as a box full of ice and drinks came out. They were all purchased from Earth using Credits.

“Oooh! These sweet drinks from Earth are quite good.” Urbosa took out a Pepsi and started drinking it.

“Give me the one with lemon flavor! That’s my fav!”

Merkite wagged her tail, dragging herself over my belly and grabbing one of the cold soda glass bottles, unaware that her butt was rubbing itself all over my chest and face. Not like I minded her big fluffy tail slamming my head; she was way too cute.

As my two queens sat down at my left and right while enjoying their drinks, I was checking some stuff I had actually not checked through the last two days, mostly because I felt like I didn’t have the fatigue for that.

However, I was well aware I had already reached Max Level by now.

“Uh… No, not for now.”

I quickly waved away the annoying system messages. It seemed enticing, but I wasn’t going to take such thrones and suddenly gain enormous responsibilities. I already have enough. And becoming the goddess of Eclipse would tie me to this world as well, most likely.

Well, I got a lot of credits, some new skills, new classes, and a lot of Divinity and Stats. My mana increased at least by five times its original amount, and my divinity by almost three times. Above all, aside from Credits and Items, I needed to do something now.

And that was getting new Class Skills to properly assimilate the Broken Divinities and Shattered Divine Realms, apparently.
