Chapter 61: 62. A Hideous Dessert

Dungeons very rarely reached this level. The only reason why this was still considered Monsoon was because despite all this; it only required a competent raid team to subjugate. Frost was essentially the only one capable of doing anything here, but now that completely changed.

It’s ATT DEF and MAG DEF stats were unbelievably high. It meant that every single one of her attacks were effectively useless against it; save for her maw. Since the Abominations were slower than herself, she weaved between them and climbed onto the top of the Plagued Heart. From there, it was a matter of chewing through its flesh to her heart’s content.

The towering spires seemed to be connected to it as well, anchoring it permanently into place. Thankfully they were not its appendages, although, that didn’t stop her from planning to take them down.

This ordeal was not going to be dealt with any time soon, and these creatures were not the only ones being formed. Among the cries of “MANAGEEEEER!” emerged others, some screaming out names or begging for help with a hideous choir of voices.

It was a meld of male, female, children, and elderly voices – spoken in unison with terror and rage.

“Why are they speaking like that? Is it a vendetta or something? A grudge against certain people!?”

“No. It’s worse than that. As they mimic the bodies of those they capture, however poorly they do, they also retain the last few words spoken by them. What you are hearing is exactly that.”

“MANAGEEEEEER!”

Frost’s heart sunk as she heard them scream out loud again. Nav’s words caused her coat to rustle. It half confirmed that the Scarlet Logic personnel were somehow able to return from the dead, most likely using their Atelier’s technology.

The other explanation was that these were other previous Scarlet Logic forces who had succumbed to the Crimson Hunger, all with their last words being a cry towards their Manager.

They chewed at the air as they hobbled onwards, dragging their limbs behind them. One of their arms were grossly enlarged, wielding a blade made from bone shaped like a crescent.

“Die. Die! JUST DIE!” Frost screamed between mouthfuls, never ceasing her feast as she burrowed deep into the Plagued Heart with her maw alone.

No matter how much she ate the food just magically disappeared, like her stomach was connected to Dimensional Storage. She ate, using her jaw like an excavator as she slurped up its putrid innards to her disgust.

But the tainting of her tastebuds was the least of her concerns. As she gnawed out a cavity large enough for her to slip into – a geyser of blobs suddenly spilled like puss. These creatures flew all over the place, making strange splatting sounds as they fell and melted upon landing.

They were strange critters. Passive, and appeared like traditional fantasy slimes save that these were most certainly made from flesh. They strangely wore weird accessories, such as ears, tails, wings of certain races and the abdomens of the Insectids.

These things were weak. So weak that Frost could have easily ignored them. However – her blood instantly ran colder than ice when she pulled up their statuses.

“What… these are…!”

She immediately stopped devouring the Plagued Heart as more of the Abominations spawned, alongside quadrupedal creatures that very vaguely resembled a fawn, as they were made entirely of rearranged organs and had the misaligned face of a human.

But they hardly shocked her more than the revelation of these slimes.
