"There's a sky?!" I gasped. "And a sun! And clouds! Even though we're down here?! Wait, how much did we walk down?"

I looked up through the hole, suddenly it felt like we fell over three kilometers down.

"E-Eh? It felt like we didn't walk that long!" Alma gasped.

"Wait a second, there's really a sky down here!" Emily said.

"Huh, a sky? Well that's nothing new for us right?" Partner wondered.

"Yeah! Could it be similar to Dungeons?" Emeraldine wondered.

"Have you visited dungeons with skies inside?" Nia wondered.

"Ah yes, back then…" Emeraldine started chatting with Nia.

"Hey! Stop talking about your gaming sessions, there's giant pterodactyls coming here!"

Emily screamed, thinking Emeraldine was talking about their memories playing MMOs or something.

But maybe it's for the better if she believes such a thing!

"Are you afraid, Emily? You can take care of them easily by now," I said with a smile.

"Eeeh?! No way! They're gigantic!" Emily panicked.

"CRAAAAH!"

The giant flying dinosaur-like nightmare beasts roared at us, each one was… perhaps a bit over ten meters of height, and their wingspan was over twenty meters.

They were indeed giant monsters, their massive wings, as they flapped, let out massive shockwaves of winds everywhere. The original source is M|V|L5EMPYR.

"Oh well, if you're panicking over such a thing, we can take care of it ourselves!" Nyx said confidently, stepping forward. "Mama, you have to upgrade my Dream Weapon after this, ok?"

"Heheh, alright!" I giggled, as I saw her rushing towards the skies.

"I'll go too!" Arachne said, jumping into the skies with her giant spider legs sprouting from her back.

"I should go help Nyx a bit!" Celes also flew into the skies, encompassed by a bubble of water.

The three children clashed against the incoming giant dragon-sized dinosaurs, the monstrous creatures, four of them at that, greeted them by firing giant fireballs made of nightmare flames from their jaws.

"Hehehe!"

Nyx giggled playfully, without even transforming into her dragon form, she reached the dinosaur and swung her axe at its head, ignoring the fireballs entirely with her incredibly fast flight speed.

CLAAASH!

"GRAAACK?!"

The dinosaur screamed in agony, falling from the skies with a huge wound on its head, but still alive. I was quite surprised myself; the thing was tougher than I thought.

"SHAAAAGH!"

It responded by unleashing an even stronger fire breath against her, but Nyx descended while spinning with her axe, without any proper technique or skill tied to that at all, other than her own sheer physical might.

"HYAAAH!"

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

SLAAAASH!

As she slashed through the flames, she hit the dragon's jaws, cutting the entire head into two clean halves, as an explosion of flames erupted from the attack's shockwave.

BOOOM!

"Nyx is so strong…!"

I heard Celes murmuring to himself, praising my daughter. The boy was sure amazed by her, lowering his guard enough for the dinosaurs to get close to him.

"Celes, watch out!"

Nia panicked, about to go after him, but Celes quickly glanced back, all three of his Water Fairies manifested behind him, spinning around and releasing powerful magic.

"{Azurite Tsunami}"

SPLAAASH!

A swirling tsunami of azure colored water splashed the two dinosaurs attacking him, pushing them down into the ground beneath.

It wasn't just normal water, but "Azurite", resembling the crystal itself, the water grew giant icicles, piercing the monsters' bodies and damaging them even further.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

As the monsters agonized, Celes rapidly rushed down, pointing his Dream Weapon at them, which was the spear I had mass produced back then and gifted one to him.

Since it became a Dream Weapon, it had absorbed his powers and transformed into something similar to a trident, without any of my prompts or help at all.

It was honestly quite amazing, even more as he descended and attacked the monster with everything he had.

"{Ultramarine Trident}!"

All three of his Water Spirits, former servants of his previous incarnation, fused into his trident, growing into a gigantic size, resembling a massive trident made of water, and piercing the two dinosaurs with it.

CRAAASH!

BOOOM!

SPLASH!

An explosion of water splashed everywhere, sinking the surroundings on cold sea water, that probably got bothered a lot of small critters living around here.

"Oh wow, I'm stronger than I imagined…" Celes was quite surprised.

"Of course you are, dummy!"

"But it's also thanks to us helping out, heh."

"You're so clueless about everything unlike our dear master…!"

"Well, isn't he her reincarnation though?"

"Hmm, the same soul at the end!"

"But a different person altogether…"

"T-Thanks for helping, girls…" Cecil smiled cutely and innocently, although he often seemed overwhelmed by how chatty they were and always comparing him to his previous incarnation was a bit annoying, I bet.

Celes was the reincarnation of the Soul of the Divine Oasis Spirit that once lived and created the Oasis within the Sapphire Temple City of the Goldsand Confederation.

It hasn't even been a year since we met him, but he had been growing and developing a lot since then, and his powers have continued evolving rapidly.

The Divine Spiritual Power within his own Soul has given him amazing talent over the Water Element and was the reason he was persecuted back then as someone capable of creating water in a city deprived of it.

"You're big…! I wonder if your meat is tasty?"

Arachne asked the giant dinosaur nonchalantly, as she kicked it with her legs and her giant spider legs, constantly accumulating large quantity of damage into its entire body and then.

"{Slothful Aura Manifestation}: {Demonic Spear of Sloth}"

And right after that, her Aura manifested out of her body, manifesting pure demonic power and fusing into a giant, dark red spear, impaling the dinosaur is the chest.

CRAAASH!

The giant thing collapsed into the ground, dead on the spot, as its blood splattered into the ground slowly, resembling nightmare miasma.

"Alright, let's taste your meat."

Arachne then stood on top of the corpse and by using her spider legs as blades, she cut off a large chunk, trying to eat it on the spot.

"W-What is she doing?!"

Sofia, Martina, Alma, and Emily had the same reaction.
