My Upgrades Are Invincible

We spent a solid week just destressing out in the mountains. But it's not like we truly left the more modern amenities we had back in Orario as the girls after a day and seeing we had no showers made me fuse a stall and hang over a big carton of water with holes in the bottom to shower people with the hot water made from the magic heating coil on the inside of the barrel.

I just had to give them a strict rule of five-minute showers as getting water and fusing it to get rid of any germs or river smell was annoying enough.

But even still as we were living out here, we still trained daily with Ryuu and Aisha who were level boosted by Haruhime to be able to thrash us like unwanted stepchildren so long as I didnt wreath myself in fire but the one time I brought out my fire Ryuu threw a rock into my chest and almost collapsed a lung from the impact, so I resigned myself to getting the stuffing beat out of me.

When Bell and I weren't getting our organs redistributed by the elf who I swear was getting back at me waking her up early when Freya wanted a morning quicky. I was working on the now named Heart of the Mountain.

Heart of the Mountain -By burying this within a pile of five tons earth at minimum it will slowly turn the surrounding soil into various metals, and they will grow faster the more earth and precious metals are surrounding the heart.- Gold

A pretty good thing besides the thing taking literally decades to convert all the earth it would be buried with but both of the Goddess's claimed that it would cause the Heavens to spark wars if found there as what's a couple centuries to entity's more than a million years old and watched this world be formed.

Personally, I wanted to fuse it into my armor and try to make some Heart of Lorkhan copy but after Freya and Hestia dissuaded me after very a 'vigorous' discussion that it would be best left here and buried and then the Hestia's Familia a centry later could dig up all the pure metal's left here.

I didnt fight it not just because they were so strong about keeping it as a nest egg but because it was just something I made after a weeks' worth of training, and I could make another one basically whenever I wanted to spend the time or just wanted to test my limits.

Now after looking through those magic glasses, we did confirm the dragon was a descendant of the One-Eyed Black Dragon as it had a very small spatial talent and that was how it managed to sneak up on us before it lost all of its subtility and tried to kill us all.

Hence something I have dearly been wanting since I landed here.

Dragon Eye Ring- Host's a small five-meter pocket dimension within eye of gem. - Platinum+

I was only able to make an identical set of two of them, but the funny thing was that somehow the spaces were linked so anything I put in the wielder of the other could take out or vice versa.

Naturally Hestia got the other ring as now we didnt need Lili to lug around that big ass bag and Hestia could just pull stuff out of the ring if we filled it up and needed more space if we were in the dungeon or I could even use it to send messages to and forth.

"So that was a good little trip, right?" I asked Haruhime who was sitting beside me as Hestia and Freya were napping beside each other in the back of the cart.

Haruhime looked a lot happier having spent so much time with people who actually cared about her other than Aisha and no longer having the weight of her soul being stuffed into a gem that would be shattered, leading to her living an existence of eternal agony.

"Yes, it was nice to get out of the city." She said gently and then laid her head into my lap as I drove the carriage back in the direction of Orario.

I simply smiled seeing her so relaxed around me and just started running my hands through her hair and lightly massaging around her fox ears.

"She better not be giving you head in public, Jake." Hestia muttered in the back of the cart looking at the front window but due to the back of the cart acting as a wall, all she could have seen was Haruhime giving me a loving smile and then go face first into my lap...

Even though we were still a good hour away from Orario I don't think I was brave enough for that despite how Haruhime would certainly be willing with how Aisha was 'Coaching' her on how to please me. "Don't worry Hestia I am not brave enough to be doing that in broad daylight.

Haruhime was blushing from her insinuation though.

The rest of the ride was smooth sailing and after we arrived back at the church and seeing that it was already past midday, we decided to get back into the dungeon tomorrow and actually push through into the water floors after we got the last bit of Excellia needed for us to break into the SS+ range in stats and level up as all my killing quests were ready to be farmed to there fullest extent.
