Chapter 447: Moonlight Goddess Luluna! Thunder Silver Wolf!
"Eh?! T-together?!" Hisako blinked rapidly, glancing at Erina. "Ugh… If, if it's with Erina-sama, I… I'm willing…"
"Ah? Hisako, you…" Erina was going crazy. But since Hisako had said that, she couldn't let her look down on her, could she? So, with her cheeks visibly reddening, she bit the bullet. "I-I have no problem either!"
"Very good. The deal is done." Ren gave them their abilities as promised. The two, who had just gained their powers, fled as if escaping. As Erina passed him, she felt her whole body burning. "I really am crazy…"
Everyone had left. "..." Ren looked at the only one left, Sakurajima Mai.
She was the one who was most frantic. Didn't everyone agree to just be ordinary people and slack off? Why did everyone suddenly become so motivated in such strange areas?
Ren's playful gaze made her scalp tingle. She was rubbing her arm, clearly uncomfortable. "Mai, you want to—"
"Alright, alright! I get it! Instead of being potentially taken advantage of in the entertainment industry one day, it's better to just do this. Ren-kun, make a deal with me too."
"Uh…" Ren was choked. He had only said half a sentence, and she had rambled on. But that was good; it saved him time. "As you wish."
With the abilities obtained through loans, Mai and Erina quickly formed a group and began hunting Level 5 monsters.
After clearing the fifth floor, they entered the sixth floor: the Land of Thunder. Thunder continuously fell upon the endless mountain ranges. Level 6 and 7 monsters now occupied the majority. But this didn't hinder their progress; it was practically a walk in the park.
Ren, as usual, entered the Demon King Challenge and quickly defeated the King of Thunder, a giant silver-white wolf.
The soul that condensed surprised him; it was a pink-haired girl. However, he remembered that the sixth floor of Soukai Mountain should have the Thunder Silver Wolf, a two-headed wolf, a pair of siblings.
Ren summoned Phoenix and Luluna. "Is she the Saint God of the sixth floor?"
After examining her, both nodded. "That's right. She is the Thunder Silver Wolf."
This is strange. Ren casually restored her soul. "Do you have a brother?"
Upon mentioning him, her expression became crestfallen. "Yes."
"Then where is he?"
She gritted her teeth. "My brother… he was killed… when resisting the giant hand…"
"..." Killed? Ren remembered that the other Saint Gods had only lost their powers.
"Alright." If it were the powerless Thunder Silver Wolf, he would still hesitate. However, her essence had changed significantly now, so taking her in was a must. "From now on, follow me. You can't return to Soukai Mountain for now, but perhaps in the future, I can help you revive your brother." First, he had to make a grand promise.
"Really?" she looked at him with surprise.
"Really."
"Okay. Please allow me to follow you."
After subduing her, they returned. Ren also realized that his girlfriends' abilities could advance further. So he spent some effort to perform a new transformation for everyone.
The most important change was their genes. All were transformed to have the same power as Kaguya, which he named the Moon God Body. Although it was her power, it couldn't reach her Lv7 level, but it could still reach Lv6.
Ren named this entire new power system the New Girlfriend Package. It included: Redemption Angel (Lv6) / Sin Apostle (Lv7), Chronos Apostle (Lv5), Moon God Body (Lv6), Armament Haki (Lv4), and Observation Haki (Lv4).
Except for Ch'en, Furina, Utaha, and Mai, who were trade personnel, everyone else received a set. As for Makima, he gave her a good 'education' in a cave before giving his doggie some rewards.
The Level 7 boss of the sixth floor was defeated by Kaguya. Ren had accumulated 850 million doomsday points.
[Ding! The seventh-floor teleportation channel has opened!]
He thought it would be full of high-level beasts, but he was wrong.
[Ding! Welcome to the seventh floor, the Land of Darkness!]
There was nothing here. It was pitch black.
Kiana: "What's going on? It's too dark here."
As she spoke, the black substance permeating the floor flowed in one direction, condensing. Their vision recovered somewhat, and the sphere of black substance before them writhed and stretched, transforming into a giant clad in pitch-black armor.
