Jaune was very disappointed. He should have used less power, but he thought it would be okay since it was the 58th floor, and he would get to fight the Juggernaut head-on. But no! He had to go and incinerate it as it appeared.
Tiona approached Jaune, saying, "Now that you finished what you were up to, what are you planning to do next?"
Jaune sighed, saying, "I'll head back out. I need to make a meal for my girls."
Tiona had a confused look thinking Jaune had made an error in his words, saying, "You mean your girl, right?"
Jaune replied, "No, I mean my girls. I do have seven girlfriends."
Bete shouted, "Bullshit! There is no way that is true!"
Jaune sighed, saying, "Again, I don't care what you think. Anyway, are you guys heading back to the 50th floor?"
Tiona said, "Yup! Our expedition team is there, after all. But we'll head out after that since there is nothing we can gain for the time being since your spell has blocked our way. Look, it's still raging until now."
Jaune nodded. The way to the next floor was blocked due to the residual power of his spell. Trying to traverse it now is suicidal. He said, "If you plan to head to the 50th floor, I can bring you there."
Without warning, Jaune teleported him and everyone to the 50th floor where they had camp set up before.
Riveria said, "You can teleport. And it's a wide area teleport as well."
Jaune said, "This is only a simple spell. Why are you surprised?"
Riveria wanted to strangle Jaune. A simple spell? If that were the case, people would have used it on one of their three magic slots. However, she heard Jaune say, "Since you plan to head out as well, I can wait for you to pack, and I can teleport us all out of the dungeon."
Riveria sighed and instructed, along with Finn, the expedition group, to pack up and prepare to leave. It didn't take long for them to get ready, and Jaune teleported them out of the dungeon.
Tiona said, "Jaune! See you later! Let's have another spar!"
Jaune tossed something to Tiona. It was the direction to the Hestia manor. He said, "If you want another spar, come to that address. We have a training room that can heal any injuries incurred during training. We don't have to hold back too much and have fun fighting."
Tiona waved at Jaune they went their separate ways.
Returning to the Hestia Manor, Jaune heard a girl say, "Uhm…I think you dropped this."
It was a girl with bluish-gray hair kept tied with a small knot in a ponytail style. Her eyes are the same color as her hair, and she has light peachy-colored smooth skin. She's wearing a white blouse and a leaf-colored knee-length long skirt. She's also wearing a slightly long half-apron around her waist and has a pair of brown boots over black stockings.
Jaune shook his head as he would never drop anything; everything he had was inside his item box. He said, "Sorry, but that isn't mine."
The girl said, "S-Sorry. I thought you might have dropped it. I'm Syr Flova."
Jaune smiled and said, "It's not a problem, Syr. I'm Jaune."
Syr said, "Say, are you interested in having delicious food? If you are, stop by later at the Hostess of Fertility."
Jaune nodded and made his way to the Hestia Manor. As he met the girl, he used [Analyze] on her and saw her status, which said Goddess Freya. At this moment, he felt someone trying to peer into his soul, but they failed since they merely arrived in his Soul Realm, which houses his Beast Soul.
He smirked since they would have been in for a surprise. He laughed out loud without care. Whoever it was, they would think twice before trying again. As for having a meal at the Hostess of Fertility? Maybe if he was too lazy to cook, which would be never since he is cooking for his girls.
Syr Flova, aka Freya, was frightened. When she peered into the soul of Jaune, she saw a Beast that could have devoured her if it existed in the real world. The damn thing was a Nine-Tail Fox that had transcended! However, it got into the young man's soul, she did not know, but it was protecting him.
Syr thought, 'I have never felt such fear before. That Nine-Tailed Fox has reached the levels of Gods.'
She smirked and thought, 'It makes me want to know more about him! However, I won't be able to peer into his soul. But if I try again, that thing will devour me. It already took some of my Divinity.'
Jaune did not know it, but he suddenly heard the voice announcing.
[Beep! A new skill has been created]
[Fertility Control: The conscious and proactive management to prevent or facilitate pregnancy, depending on individual circumstances and preferences]
Jaune's eye twitched, saying, "Hah! What the hell? Why did I suddenly get something like this? Oh, my, Oum! Is Nora planning to do something? No! There is no way Nora would do such a thing."
He couldn't figure it out. Why would he suddenly get a skill regarding fertility? Sure, Nora had been horny for a while now, and so was he, but that should not be enough to activate such a skill; he was sure of that.
Jaune shook his head and said, "You know what, this is a good thing. In the future, when I do it with the girls, I don't have to worry about getting them pregnant until we are ready to have kids."
He started having crazy fantasies, imagining having creampies on the girls without worry. However, he stops himself, lest Nora's wish comes true, and he ravishes her in front of everyone.
Jaune thought, 'Got to get that out of my head. I need to concentrate. A big, ugly, tentacle-ridden, dimensional Beast of the Rift is coming after me. I need to get stronger as fast as I can.'
Arriving at the door of the Hestia Mansion, it was quiet. Going into the room of the others, they were still all asleep. The exhaustion of receiving Magic Circuit has taken quite a bit from them. They will not be waking up till the next day.
Jaune sighed, saying, "It gets quite lonely without them. Maybe I should join them on their hunt tomorrow? I could watch over them and give tips to better their hunting."
Jaune nodded to himself and added, "For now, I can test out that training simulation."
Sitting cross-legged, Jaune accessed [Simulator].
Looking around, Jaune saw an empty space. It was pure white and nothing else. A screen appeared before him with a list of people he had met and locations he had been to.
Jaune thought, 'Who the heck is Qrow Branwen and Raven Branwen? Ah! I get it! This is amazing! Even people I do not know are here merely because I crossed paths with them.'
It was not only people on the list. The monster he fought in the dungeon were part of the simulator. He smirked and looked for the Juggernaut. He wanted to fight it.
Making his selection of the opponent and the location to fight it, Jaune had to set the strength of his foe. Of course, since he learned his lesson about the Juggernaut, he set the monster to have a second evolution like himself.
When the match commenced, the Juggernaut appeared before Jaune without warning, but he could dodge its claws.
Jaune said, "Ha-ha-ha-ha! That's what I'm talking about! Let's get this show on the road."
Taking his spear out, Jaune parried the swipes of the Juggernaut. When it tried to bite him, he smacked it in the nose.
Inside the [Simulator], Jaune does not have the concept of the seal on him. He can exert his full powers without worry. This is why he set the Juggernaut with a second evolution.
The exchange kept going for ten minutes. Jaune decided he had trained his [True War Arts] and decided to train his magic.
[Frostbound Cataclysm: A devastating spell that taps into the cataclysmic potential of primordial ice. The caster summons a concentrated blizzard of unparalleled ferocity, engulfing the target area in an icy maelstrom that freezes everything in its path and causes widespread havoc.
Effect: Upon casting, a raging blizzard materializes over the designated area. The storm is so intense that it creates a localized cold vacuum, causing the ground to freeze and crack. The blizzard's winds whip around with immense force, hurling ice shards and freezing projectiles at high speeds]
With the barrage of Jaune's magic, the Juggernaut was distracted enough for Jaune to jump up and slash at its neck.
Jaune said as he swung his spear, "Of with your head!"
Juggernaut's head was dropped on the ground, and its body had turned into a mote of light.
Once more, Jaune chose the Juggernaut and set it as it was earlier. Rather than using weapons, Jaune was planning to use pure magic spells to beat it this time.
Dodging the attacks of the Juggernaut has become easy for Jaune, even at this level. Summoning lightning from the tip of his fingers, he aims it at the monsters, exploding upon impact.
[Thunderstrike: A potent lightning attack magic. It involves conjuring a concentrated bolt of lightning that surges from the caster's fingertips or magical staff toward the intended target. Upon impact, the bolt explodes with a resounding thunderclap, dealing considerable damage to a single target or a small area of enemies. Thunderstrike is known for its ability to overwhelm opponents with its electrical power and its deafening sound]
However, the Juggernaut was still not down. He decided to use a different spell this time.
[Frostbolt: A fundamental ice attack magic, forming a projectile of icy energy that shoots from the caster's outstretched hand. The Frostbolt travels with impressive speed, leaving a trail of chilling mist in its wake. Upon impact with the target, it explodes in a burst of frost, encasing the struck area or opponent in a thick layer of ice.
Effect: Frostbolt deals both direct damage and freezing effects. It can immobilize or slow down foes, making it an excellent spell for controlling the battlefield and disabling enemies]
With the monster slowed down, Jaune could use a more powerful spell that takes a few seconds to cast, even with his craziness.
[Nova Ignition: A manifestation of extreme fire magic that taps into the stars' energy, channeling the raw power of celestial infernos. This spell enables the mage to harness the brilliance and fury of a stellar explosion, unleashing a devastating burst of incandescent fire that can engulf entire battlefields and reshape the fabric of reality. It is cast by creating a luminous sigil as a conduit between the earthly realm and the cosmic forces. They then channel their magical energy into the sigil, invoking the explosive energies of a star's core.
Effects: A blinding flash of light erupts from the sigil, illuminating the surroundings with an intensity that rivals the sun. A sphere of scorching flames expands outward from the sigil, creating shockwaves that ripple through the air. The flames are not mere fire but rather a fusion of astral energy and elemental heat, creating an otherworldly blaze that defies comprehension]
The unleashed inferno engulfed the battlefield, obliterating everything in its path. Structures disintegrated, the ground melted into molten rivers, and the air shimmered with radiant heat. The energy released by the explosion distorted space and time, causing ripples that alter the perceptions of those caught within the blast. After the flames subside, the battlefield is left transformed, marked by the scorching remnants of the stellar eruption and the echoes of the harnessed cosmic energies. The Juggernaut was no more.
Jaune was shell-shocked. He created all these spells, but because he had not had a chance to test them, he didn't know how crazy they were.
Jaune looked at the damage and said, "These spells are not even the best I created. I have so many more powerful ones in my arsenal."
He continued until late in the evening.
