Danmachi: Is It Wrong To Devour Monsters In The Dungeon - Chapter 5.1 (Patreon)

A soft, warm body shifting against mine drew me from my slumber. My eyes blinked open and I yawned, making to raise my arms up and stretch them out.

Though I only managed the one.

Because the other was being used as a hug pillow by Hestia, both her arms wrapped around it, while her legs were encircled around one of mine.

It was a bit awkward for my body since I was basically a body pillow for her right now, but I'm not complaining.

Especially feeling those huge breasts of her smothering around my arm. I have no idea how a pair of tits as big as my head, can be so perky, yet so soft at the same time, it should almost be near genetically impossible for natural breasts that large to not sag at all.

Yet, despite their size they stood high, proud and everlastingly perky on my goddesses chest.

Still, there are no complaints to me, praise be to the divine and all that, I'm quite, no, immensely happy that Hestia is so overly affectionate with me and very clingy in her sleep.

Though I'm glad she hasn't ended up rolling on top of me and waking up. For…specific reasons.

I glanced at my morning wood tenting out my boxers massively, as if I'd crammed a spear down there.

…Perhaps my only complaint really was that with how small our current living space is, I've not really got much privacy unless Hestia is working to crank a few out and take the edge off.

Two days have passed, this would be the third since I took my second trip into the dungeon, and I've managed to jack off all of once since then. Between my frequent trips to the dungeon and strolling through the city to get a feel for the layout of it all, I wasn't alone in here much, and while I could do it in the bathroom, Hestia would probably start asking questions if I was in there for too long.

Sometimes, not being a one pump chump could have its drawbacks.

I gently eased myself out of Hestia's grip and swung myself off the small bed. I was clad only in my boxers.

Thanks to one of the skills I got from the Infant Dragon's magic stone I devoured a few days ago, I could regulate my body temperature as I pleased, so I didn't really need anything to keep me warm.

I poked at my abs.

No pain.

I felt no pain at all actually, despite the fact that I'd been working out quite a bit before bed. I don't have any healing abilities, but with just the base falna alone, my recovery rate is far superior to what it was before I got it.

Delayed onset muscle soreness from a standard workout, wasn't a thing for me anymore it seemed.

The gains are real.

In just a bit below a week since I got here, my muscles have bulked noticeably and my abs, while slightly noticeable before and decently defined, stood out proudly. I think I've even grew about an inch.

…I wish I could say that was all my own efforts, but while my base physique was pretty great before this, the progress from there was because of my skill.

'Evolving physiology towards a pinnacle body, huh?' I mused, glancing over at the piece of paper sitting on the rickety night stand beside the bed. It had my latest falna update from last night just before I went to sleep.

Magic

In the last two to three days, my stats have practically doubled. It was a stupendously fast growth. I think it took Bell a bit over a week to get stats like this after he got his special skill.

Then again, I've been making over ten pieces of crystal armour and selling them at the guild for ten thousand a pop. I've got one hundred and twenty or so thousand valis right now, but I would have had over three hundred thousand worth if not for the fact that I'd been buying magic crystals of Infant Dragons.

I'd eaten six of them in the last few days, and spent a total of one hundred and eighty thousand valis on them. That made a total of seven Infant Dragon's I'd eaten.

And it told me a lot about my skill. Well, a lot that I generally already confirmed from the Crystal Mantis magic stone I'd eaten, but the Infant Dragon ones had highlighted it.

Simply, I didn't get even close to the full strength of the monsters I ate the magic crystals of. One Infant Dragon had the strength of a level two adventurer, and a Crystal Mantis was above even them.

And the higher my stats went, the less I got out of them.

Granted, not that I'm complaining at all, just because there were some limits to my overpowered skill, does not at all mean it's not overpowered.

It's the best skill for sure.

Putting my falna out of mind, I grabbed my clothes from where I left them folded on the couch and got ready for the day.

It was time to hit up the dungeon once again.

So far, I've only went down as far as the fifth floor, but today I'm going deeper.

There's a bunch of monsters between the sixth and ninth floors with abilities I want to get my hands on. Two specifically have rather powerful abilities that if I can get my hands on…well I'll be jamming.

Just as I finished getting ready, there was a yawn behind me and I heard the smacking of lips together. I looked over to see Hestia rubbing her eyes and giving me a bleary look, "…Caelan are you heading to the dungeon already?" she asked sleepily.

"Aye, while cuddling with you is amazing, today's the day I head a little deeper in the dungeon, there's a few monsters I've been wanting to get my hands on." I replied with a smile.

"Muu, you keep saying you want me all to yourself but you spend more time in the dungeon than with me," Hestia pouted cutely, "Couldn't you just make more crystals, sell them and then buy the monster magic stones you want to get their abilities like you've been doing with Infant Dragon's?"

"I could, but if I do everything like that while I'll get strong, I'll be a shit fighter without any experience," I pointed out, the dungeon was the best place to test out the practical use of my abilities in combat and get better with them, plus I wanted to save the valis I spent for Infant Dragon ones just for the raw stat upgrades, "And the dungeon is the best place right now for me to make a lot of cash so we can get a sweet place to live in." there is a limit after all to how much crystal armour I can make in a day.

It's made from my mind after all, my magical energy.

Like a place with a swimming pool so I can get Hestia in a bikini.

Her cute pout deepened, "When you're all logical like that I can't argue."

Heh.

"How about once I finish up with the dungeon, we go out later on? I've got plenty of cash for us to enjoy a night out with." I asked.

Hestia blinked before her eyes went wide, "Like a date!?" she asked excitedly.

"If you want, you already know I'm all for it," I grinned at her, "We can make a day out of it, pick out some more clothes and stuff for you."

"Hehe, alrighty then!" Hestia woke up fully and bounced up to her feet on the bed, her large round breasts bouncing and jiggling noticeably, which drew my eyes, "A date it is then! Actually, wait, what about clothes for you?"

"I do need some, which should be easy, I'd rather see you in a bunch of different cute outfits though." I replied with a shrug.

Hestia's eyes followed mine before I managed to pull my eyes away from her breasts and she grinned widely, "Heh, I see I see." she nodded knowingly, crossing her arms under her bust and intentionally pushing her cleavage up.

I pointedly didn't look, it took a great deal of effort and her grin got wider.

"Right, well I'm off then." I coughed. While I'd love to push the issue here with her, I didn't want to force it too much and just let it develop more.

Even though I'd love nothing more than to rail my busty goddess into the bed hard enough to snap it.

"You're so cute Caelan!" Hestia laughed, jumping off the bed, landing on her bare feet easily and prancing over to look up at me.

Knowing what she wanted, I bent down and Hestia wasted no time in pressing her lips against my cheek, "Good luck today." she chirped as she pulled back, giving me a beaming smile.

Ah, I felt my cheeks heating up. She really was gorgeous. That was a goddess for you.

                                                              ____________

Hestia couldn't wipe the smile off of her face as Caelan left for the dungeon. What a good child she had, and so cute to!

"Ah, my heart feels all cozy hehe." Hestia cupped her cheeks. A date! A real date with her first child and he wanted to buy her lots of presents.

Not that he hadn't been doing so already. She had a bunch of new books thanks to him to read in her spare time and…

She glanced over at the night stand where the bell hair ornaments had been left before she went to bed.

He was such a good boy, trying to spoil her all the time now and was always happy to listen to her talk, or just sit with her when she was reading.

Though he tended to spend a lot of time when he was here exercising. "Hehe, not that I'm complaining." Hestia wiped a bit of drool from her lips.

He always did it shirtless and his muscles were really nice to look at. She'd have to make sure none of those skanks like Aphrodite saw him without a shirt on!

Not that Aphrodite could coax him anyway, for a goddess of love she sure had some pitiful Loki-tier boobs. And she knew Caelan had a thing for big boobs like hers!

He after all could barely keep his eyes off of her breasts, "Kahahaha!" Hestia laughed victoriously, crossing her arms und throwing her head back.

Aphrodite had always been envious of Hestia's bust. She hated her on principal because she was a virgin goddess, alongside Artemis and Athena, but it was made all the worse because each and every single one of the three virgin goddesses from their area up in Tenkai…all had better figures than Aphrodite.

Feh, no wonder she was so proud of that silly little charm ability of hers. She'd never be able to attract a man otherwise hehe!

"Right, enough thinking about that slut," Hestia slapped her cheeks and focused, "I've got a big date with Caelan! I need to go get ready before he comes back from the dungeon!"

He'd be in there for a few hours at least, so it gave her enough time to head to the divine bath house and get nice and squeakily clean.

…And!

She pranced over to the small closet and opened it up, looking over her clothes.

It was pitifully barren, most of her clothing being a few coats, a single formal dress and blouse combo….and!

The best piece of clothing she had, a casual white dress with long sleeves that came down to her thighs had a purple hem and neckline. The neckline specifically being quite plunging.

"Caelan will like this!" she grinned, pumping her fist and pulling it off the hanger.
