Epic of Caterpillar

I began to take out every reward chest or loot box that I obtained from the dungeon and put them on the floor, they amounted for… over fifty.

I decided to just do the [Open All] Function and instantly open every chest, this is why I placed each one on the floor without putting one above the others.

The rewards were as follows;

[Ancient Reward Loot Box (S)] x4

[Giant Sand Worm Mathonth Grand Treasure Chest] x1

[Ancient Reward Loot Box (S)] x4

[Ancient Relic Sand Wyvern Zakon Grand Treasure Chest] x1

[Ancient Reward Loot Box (S)] x4

[Legendary Rank Equipment Random Loot Box (A)] x1

[Ancient Wisdom Sand Whale Manon Grand Treasure Chest] x1

[Ancient Reward Loot Box (S)] x4

[Legendary Rank Equipment Random Loot Box (A)] x1

[Shark Head Chimera Beast Grand Treasure Chest] x1

[Ancient Reward Loot Box (S)] x4

[Legendary Rank Equipment Random Loot Box (A)] x1

[Ancient Giant Turtle of Phantoms Grand Treasure Chest] x1

[Ancient Reward Loot Box (S)] x4

[Legendary Rank Equipment Random Loot Box (A)] x1

[Undead Green Scaled Basilisk Grand Treasure Chest] x1

[Ancient Reward Loot Box (SS)] x4

[Legendary Rank Equipment Random Loot Box (S)] x1

[Hellish Cat of Blazing Claws Grand Treasure Chest] x1

[Ancient Reward Loot Box (SSS)] x4

[Legendary Rank Equipment Random Loot Box (SS)] x1

[Ancient Wisdom Dragon Athos Grand Treasure Chest] x1

[Divine Dungeon Treasure (Phantasmal)] x1

To not mix things up, I decided to open the [Ancient Reward Loot Box] of S and SSS rank first, leaving the boss specific treasure chests for afterward.

[Open [Ancient Reward Loot Box (S)] x28 and [Ancient Reward Loot Box (SSS)] x4?]

[>YES NO]

"Yes!"

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

[Kireina] Received the following Items]

[Heavenly Spoon of the World's Delicacies (Legendary)] x2

[Greater Repair Stone (Legendary)] x3

[Greater Enhancement Stone (Legendary)] x2

[Heavenly Golden Radish of Evolution (Legendary)] x3

[Immortal Polishing Diamond (Legendary)] x1

[Lesser Dungeon Core (Legendary)] x1

[Cosmos Elixir Soda (Legendary)] x1

[Moonlight Spirit Stone (Mythical+++)] x3

[Phantasmagoric Unforgiving Fabric (Mythical+++)] x2

[Premium Dungeon Gacha Ticket (A-S) x1] x3

[Elixir of Unforgiving Love (Mythical+++)] x1

[Permanent Strength Enhancement Potion of Ares (Mythical+++)] x2

[Permanent Magic Enhancement Potion of Athena (Mythical+++)] x2

[Permanent Speed Enhancement Potion of Hermes (Mythical+++)] x2

[Permanent Defense Enhancement Potion of Atlas (Mythical+++)] x2

[Permanent Resistance Enhancement Potion of Hecate (Mythical+++)] x2

Suddenly, 32 loot boxes shined brightly as new items appeared in their places, filling the room with heavenly treasures. The lower rank that any item had was Mythical+++, meaning that everything that was on the floor was tremendous treasures that would make kingdoms wage wars only to obtain them.

There were present various items that seemed to be straight up upgrades from lesser ranked items, like the Radish and the Repair and Enhancement Stones. My wives immediately began to inspect the items and saw various that could be useful for them.

Zehe sneakily grabbed the Dungeon Gacha Tickets, but I considered it her gift. I gave the [Immortal Polishing Diamond (Legendary)], to Brontes, as she is the most experienced blacksmith here, she would appreciate an item that can polish weapons limitlessly and is also of Legendary Rank meaning that it can even polish Legendary Weapons for greater effects and sharpness.

The [Moonlight Spirit Stone] was given to Lilith, as she wanted to forge something with such a high-quality item, the fabric was also given to her.

Gaby wanted some of the Radish, as her Thunder Slime Pet Gubo hasn't evolved since long ago, and seemed stuck, so this item would force evolution on tamed monsters and pets (excluding demi-humans, humans and other humanoid species). She wanted to give the three to Gubo, but I only gave her two, I wanted to give one to Mao.

There was a strange item named [Heavenly Spoon of the World's Delicacies], after inspecting its description, I discovered that this strange item was a spoon that could summon any time of food that one could remember in the top of its head, it was strange but interesting. However, I decided to save them for now, I may need to convince someone with food in the future, and summoning Earth's food for that may come in handy.

The [Elixir of Unforgiving Love] was an item that could make someone fall in love for the one who owns the Elixir… A very dangerous item. This love ends up becoming obsessive, something similar to my Charm, I suppose. I decided to save it for now and didn't handle it for anyone.

The Permanent Stat Enhancement Potions would give 10 stats to the respective stat permanently, and were very appetizing to everyone. I decided to give them to the ones who needed an increase in their stats, mostly my human wives, Altani, Lilith, Acelina, Ismena, and Charlotte.

Just giving these potions to the strongest wouldn't do much of a difference, but to the ones who had low base stats compared to the rest, like Charlotte and Altani, it was very useful.

After seeing everyone's expecting faces for more, I decided to open the rest of the chests.

As the treasures opened themselves and incredibly high-quality items filled the room, everyone was taken aback by the item's appearance, information, and abilities. They were not only top-notch but amazingly well designed.

My family had already obtained their own chests and rewards from the dungeon and had obtained several Legendary equipment-like accessories or a weapon. But these items seemed to be greater than whatever they have obtained, and strangely enough, they just lacked that exact item.

Could it be that chests in dungeons and their rewards correspond to the user necessities, or perhaps, the necessities of their party members?

Going back into the Water Shrine Dungeon Exploration, each of my wives at that moment obtained a different weapon that went incredibly well with their talents and affinities. Could it be that this has happened a second time now?

First of all, the items [Earth Shaking Golden Claymore of Ancient Sands; Mathonth (Legendary)] and [Grand Runic Palace's Wall of Protection; Zakon (Shield) (Legendary)] were immensely big equipment, which also had a great affinity with Earth, they fitted Nixephine the best, as she was the perfect shield-bearer in the party with her great size and multiple arms. She can hold on the armor with two of her arms while using another two to hold on the giant claymore.

For some reason she only received accessories with the chest that she opened, which she was already wearing over her beautiful half-nude body, so obtaining some kind of reliable weapon was a nice gift for her. Her eyes were shining with blazing determination into learning Sword and Shiel Techniques.

The equipment set [Thunder Giant's Bikini Armor (Full Armor Set) (Lesser Legendary)]'s was an obvious gift for Brontes, who dislikes full armors and only wears some leather in her breasts and a loincloth or shorts, she likes to wear kimonos sometimes, but her leather equipment is usually what she always wears.

This Bikini Armor was ideal for her, as she would be able to obtain all of the bonus in stats that an ordinary heavy armor would grant but on her style of clothes, the Bikini Armor was cushioned from the inside, so it wouldn't damage or put pressure on her breasts or hips, the armor was purely made of a golden material, with red painted decorations, Brontes looked gorgeous.

The equipment set [Deadly Noble Lady of Blood and Death's Dress (Full Armor Set) (Lesser Legendary)] was an obvious gift as well. It was ideal for Alice. This Full Armor Set came not only with the entire dress, but stockings and beautiful heels. The dress was completely dark with red decorations. This set didn't offer much physical protection, but increased magical power and greater Blood Attribute Affinity.

I was confused at first with the [Amazon Queen's Lioness Leather Robes (Full Armor Set) (Lesser Legendary)], but then I realized that it was for Altani as she was glancing at it intensively. She was very serious but liked this equipment set as it made her remember the robes, she would wear daily on her tribe originally. They were very revealing leather robes, with painted decorations depicting wars between tribes. This equipment set increased her Speed and Strength the most.

The set [Shining Golden Lady's Brilliant Light Armor (Full Armor Set) (Lesser Legendary)] was an obvious choice for Acelina, as she liked to wear golden colored light armor. It also had a great affinity with her Heavenly Gold Magic and made her resemble a beautiful and refined princess knight, she accepted it and immediately equipped it while laughing with her usual "Ohohoho~!".

The weapon [Light Slicing Rapier of Wisdom; Manon (Legendary)] seemed to be specially made for the beautiful Adelle, who glanced at the item with great expectation. She hasn't received an item like this before, so she was incredibly happy. The Rapier not only had great Light and Holy affinity, but it increased her Speed Magic and Resistance. She was already a powerful rapier specialist, but with this Legendary Weapon, her role was reinforced even more. She already wanted to slay some beast the moment she grabbed on it.

Gaby was in love with the equipment set; [Thunder-Clapping Bikini Armor of the Pirate Queen (Full Armor Set) (Legendary)] and immediately asked me to give it to her. She had a great affinity with it due to the item name being designed for a Pirate Queen, and well, her species depicted that she was a pirate somehow, so it went well with it. It was a beautiful Bikini Armor ideal for her slim yet muscular body, becoming even more alluring while wearing it. The Armor also granted her [Lightning Immunity], eliminating one of the few weaknesses that Merfolk have (except Eel Merfolk).

The equipment set; [Soul-Corroding Illusive Witch's Dress (Legendary)] seemed to be made for either Zehe and Mady, but Zehe said that she did not need a new set, as she had already obtained a Legendary Class Leotard that she was currently wearing that increased her Dark and Shadow Attribute Magic power.

So, the item was then given to Mady, who received the beautiful dress happily. It was a wonderful noble lady-like dress which revealed the shoulders, neck, half of her breasts and her back, it had purple and pink colors and increased her Illusion Magic and Deception abilities, while also giving her a nice increase in defense, despite the delicate appearance of the item. It also granted Mady with Soul Magic and Phantasmal Magic.

The equipment set: [Kimono of Deadly Eyes of the Basilisk; Yiksukesh (Full Armor Set) (Legendary)] was an obvious choice for Nanako, it was a precious and silky Kimono Dress that had pink and red colors, decorated with several basilisk-like eyes. It increased her Psychic Skills powers and granted her the ability to release some of the power that Yiksukesh has in her eyes of petrification.

Yet another incredibly obvious choice for someone was [Arcane Magic Gunner Princess's Loosen Clothes (Full Armor Set) (Legendary)], which was the perfect equipment set for Charlotte. They were loosened clothes that resembled those that a highly futuristic gunner would use in some Earth's game. It had tight jeans short, enclosed in straps, a tight white shirt and a short jacket that only covered half of her torso and left her hands free, it even came with futuristic goggles.

I was rather surprised about the design myself, and Charlotte resembled a girl right out of a futuristic movie or a certain anime about a boy trapped in a VR game, which in his second season made him travel to another VR game were Guns were used instead of medieval weapons. Aah, I can't remember the name, but that guy was a Gary Stu.

For a moment I thought that the [Blazing Gauntlet Claws of the Hellish Cat; Karna (Legendary)] were just another item that wasn't generated for anyone in specific, but in reality, they were specially made for Kaguya, who had advanced a lot on her Feral Form and wad in dire need of a physical armor like a gauntlet or claws to enhance her physical combat in this form. She received it happily and equipped them right away, although, in her normal form, they seemed out of place with her serene and calm personality.

The [Slicing Windstorm Greaves of the Feathered Queen (Leg Armor/Weapon) (Legendary)] were an amazing item that was perfect for Nephiana. I was about to craft some greaves myself for her, but seeing how strong these greaves were, I decided to gift this instead, and perhaps in the future, forge some new greaves by using this equipment as one of its materials.

The greaves shined brightly in an emerald light and seemed to be made of a light green mineral, they had long and sharp jewels encrusted in them that were used to slice opponents. The greaves served both as armor by increasing her defenses and as a weapon by increasing her physical attack. They even gave her the ability to fly faster and walk in the air with her talons.

The weapon; [Ancient Blazing Dragon Slayer Great Sword; Athos (Phantasmal)] seemed to not have been made for anyone in specific, and exuded an immense strength, as expected of a Phantasmal Weapon. It was long and incredibly heavy and seemed to be made out of Atho's skin, scales, fangs, claws, and horns, carefully refined and then covered in a sturdy divine material.

The Great Sword had increased damage against Ancient Dragons and seemed to have the spirit of a dragon living inside, having its own will, which I discovered that was a copy of Athos's soul as I talked with it, it made me remember the Wyvern Overlord, I wonder if they will make good friends. I decided to keep this item for myself for now, but because it has a will of its own, I may let it socialize with others.

And last but not least, the [World's Wrecking Titan Shield of Endless Defense; Gaia (Phantasmal)], a gigantic shield that could only be worn by a titan, not even Nixephine on her giant form would be able to properly wield this, neither Nesiphae, Amiphossia or Valentia. I could make it float with [Levitate], but it was too big, becoming inconvenient for the most part.

This Shield also had a will of its own, but it was less active than Athos's Soul Copy. It had the voice of a sleepy young woman, who called herself Gaia. For now, I decided to keep this item for myself, saving it inside my Item Box. If I were to move it too harshly around, the whole castle may collapse.
