After all the things that Chaos had decided to do in his absence, all the people around the entire castle began to move hurriedly!
A large group quickly emerged out of the castle, as Belphegor and Chaos began to separate the groups.
A large group of fighters quickly was designed as the Dungeon Explorer Team, which would continuously go inside the dungeon to kill monsters and bring their corpses and also any treasure they could find! Additionally, if the dungeon was exhausted of resources, they would let it rest for some time and go hunt outside.
Another group, composed of the Elder Treant, most of the Scarecrows, and a few Orcs that knew a lot about the swamps became the Gatherer and Farmer Team, as they would concentrate on gathering resources that could be planted and multiplied through farming and magic. Additionally, they were also given the task of finding monsters that could be raised like cattle, out of experimentation. Chaos had requested something that could produce milk similar to a cow because he wanted to see if Yogurt or Cheese could be made.
A third group was made, which was named the Teaching Group, they would be designed to the simple task of teaching others about their specialties, Chaos wanted to multiply the number of Alchemists, Crafters, Blacksmiths, and more that there were.
He also desired to learn more about Alchemy, as he had a skill about it, but for now, Chaos was going for the dungeon, afterward, he would probably take his sweet time and do more practice in such things as Alchemy, Crafting, Blacksmithing, and more, while also reading as many things as he could.
When things were settled, Chaos formed his own party. It included Erebus, Abyss, Belphegor, and Dura. He had considered bringing Lilith and Ifrit, but by doing that he would be cutting too many strong members, so he left them in the castle, mostly working in the first team of dungeon exploration.
Without anything else to say, Chaos wished everyone good luck as he said he would keep in contact with everyone through his Psionic Techniques, such as Telepathy.
He quickly transformed into his Dragon Form and with everyone within his party on his back, he flew through the skies.
FLASH!
Flapping his wings, Chaos felt the cold breeze bathe his body, it felt rather good.
Although Erebus wondered something.
"Papa… How can you… keep cloth?" he asked.
Erebus wondered how it was possible for Chaos to not destroy his clothes each time he transformed.
"Oh, that's because my clothes are magic items that Belphegor gave to me. They become pure magic when I transform, and when I become humanoid again, they reform into fitting clothes," said Chaos.
"Oooh!"
Erebus's clothes were different, they were the materialization of his body made of darkness, which was a different thing than clothes made of magic thread fabric.
"Oh, it was something I always wondered… In my case, it's the same, Belphegor gave me a maid dress that becomes pure magic when I transform into my big form… But when I am compact like this, it comes back," said Abyss.
"These were clothes that were once used by other members of the castle. Other members had humanoid forms and then took monster forms afterward. So out of convenience, he crafted such items with the help of a summon," said Belphegor
"A summon?" asked Chaos.
"Yes, it was a Giant Nether Arachne Empress, a beautiful monster with the upper half of an enchanting woman and the lower half of a giant spider. She used her magic threads to craft all sorts of clothes. The ones our lord wore were made by her as well. Sometimes, my lord would aid her and enchant the clothes with powerful magic runes, giving them greater effects," said Belphegor.
"An Arachne… I wish we could find one. Or maybe I could eat a giant spider and learn how to make spiderwebs…" said Chaos, wondering the possibilities of becoming a thread-wielding dragon!
As everyone was in the skies, they quickly teleported away and got inside the dungeon in an instant through the teleportation jewel. Chaos had jumped into the skies because he wanted to feel the breeze, but they were still going to use the teleportation formation they had settled up in the Dungeon…
FLASH!
Chaos's sight changed as he was greeted with a volcanic land overflowing with lava and ho temperatures everywhere. Dura and Erebus had not come here before, so they were a bit surprised.
Thankfully, none of the two were affected by hot temperatures. Dura was a Fire Oni, so she had a natural immunity to heat, and high resistance to fire attribute, while Erebus was a Dungeon Dragon whose body had no flesh but was made of darkness and his core, so he had no problems here either.
"Hot…" said Erebus, still pointing out the change in temperature, which was abrupt.
The party glanced around them but found no monsters in the immediate vicinity, so Chaos and Belphegor undid the rune formation and brought back the teleportation jewel within it, saving it inside of Chaos immense spatial storage.
"With this, we should be ready to continue our journey," said Chaos, as the group began to walk around.
SPLASH!
However, the first thing that greeted their sight was an army of Fire Wyrms and the evolved versions of them that resembled alligators!
There were… dozens of them, all laying below the lava!
Of course, Chaos had detected them beforehand, but they were so weak he didn't care if they were to ambush them.
"A large army of monsters had emerged, my lord, it seems that the dungeon was waiting for us," said Belphegor.
"Good, Erebus requires some training at fighting, so let's go massacre them," said Chaos nonchalantly, as the entire group quickly separated, jumping over the giant alligator-like wyrms and the small piranha-faced wyrms, crushing them and splattering their bodies all over the place!
Erebus suddenly transformed into a giant Chaos Dragon, roaring furiously as he unleashed several beams of darkness made from his own body of darkness!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
