Chapter 59.
In the moment this world-unique Black Goliath was about to vanish, Eugene seized the opportunity and covered it completely with his magic power.
Countless gnawing sounds converged, sending shivers down the spine.
Standing on his trophy, Eugene's expression was calm, awaiting the result.
The sacred gold on his body had faded.
Now, only a large expanse of boiling purple smoke and fire wrapped around him.
Inside the entire Boss room, the floor was shattered, the walls were ruined, the stone slabs were reduced to powder, and large patches of charred blood and still-raging flames made the place look like hell.
And Eugene was naturally the only Demon Lord in this hell.
All kings' blood must end by the sword.
This monster born of the Dungeon also completed its exit in the manner most fitting for it.
[Ding! You have completed Plunder!]
Eugene's eyes regained their clarity.
Next would be the moment he completed his first transformation since arriving in this world!
[Gained the target's most prominent attributes-Strength +1000! Endurance +1000!]
[Gained the target's strongest Skill-Super Regeneration, consumes a large amount of stamina and magic power to fully repair one's injuries]
[Gained the target's strongest Magic-Giant Breath, charges up for a large-area magic breath, power is proportional to the charge time]
[Gained the target's most prominent Ability-Infinite Battle Will, the angrier you are, the stronger your resistance]
[Gained all the target's dropped items-Black Goliath Hide, Black Goliath Meat, Black Goliath Bone, Black Goliath Hard Leather, Black Goliath Tusk, Black Goliath Trachea, Black Goliath Magic Stone Fragments, Black Goliath Arm War-Hammer...]
[Warning!]
[Your System Space is insufficient to contain the dropped items, please process them as soon as possible]
Damn...
Eugene's face was a little stiff.
He was so excited that he was a little spaced out, unsure how to react.
Strength and Endurance Super Specialization, adding 1000 points to both at once!
Plus that huge pile of unprecedented materials, and new skills and magic.
All of this was a massive profit!
Eugene truly wanted to thank himself for choosing the Dungeon Monster clone back then!
The Plunder magic was truly an "ultimate cheat among ultimate cheats"!
"Open Status Bar!" His voice trembled slightly.
The information that appeared before his eyes could certainly be considered the strongest in history!

[Development Abilities: Fortune F - Turnaround in adversity, rebirth from the brink]
Having all abilities reach S-rank was already legendary.
And Eugene's lowest attribute was now SS-rank!
The rest had all reached an off-the-charts, unknown level!
With two layers of enhancement, he single-handedly, at the cost of minor injuries, completely annihilated and devoured the ferocious messenger of the God-Slayer!
Such a feat was impossible for anyone in the world to replicate!
Eugene scrolled down.
At the very bottom of the system panel, a prompt was dazzlingly bright.
[You have met the level-up requirements]
[Would you like to level up?]
Eugene felt his heart pounding like a drum.
His brilliant golden eyes were slightly trembling.
He swallowed once, and with anticipation for the future and a thirst for power, Eugene solemnly pressed the button!
Clang! Light burst before his eyes!
Gates leading to new worlds opened up to him, and countless energies flowed into his limbs and hundred bones.
"This... are these pathways to other worlds?"
Eugene was incredibly shocked. This was the first time he realized he could travel to other worlds.
But he quickly calmed down after a moment of surprise.
Those things were too early for him.
He had been in Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? for less than ten days.
Even for a rapid-traveler, this was too hasty.
It was better to settle down first, stabilize his foundation, and then make plans.
At the same time, the light before his eyes gradually dissipated.
Eugene had officially completed his advancement!
[Congratulations, you have reached Level 2!]
[Time taken: 7 days, 6 hours, 45 minutes, 32 seconds]
[Level-up Feat: Single-handedly defeating the Lv5 Floor Boss "Black Goliath" as an Lv1 and achieving victory]
[System settling rewards...]
[You have received the highest evaluation! Rewards doubled!]
**[Congratulations to the Host, you have received Primary Gift Package *2, Intermediate Gift Package *2, Advanced Gift Package *2, All-Worlds Prize Pool Lottery Ticket *20, System Space 200 cubic meters, All-Worlds Store Consumption Points 2000]
[The System has opened the Lottery Pool for you]
[The All-Worlds Store requires arrival in at least two worlds to be unlocked]
Holy cow? It was time for the beloved "padding" (no, it was actually paying for the lottery) stage again?
Eugene felt amused but didn't immediately start the draw.
He first quickly crammed all the collected spoils into the rapidly expanding System storage capacity.
Then he quickly left the area.
After all, the Safe Zone was directly below, and many adventurers lingered in Rivira Town year-round.
No matter what form of fame he achieved, it would not be a good thing for Eugene.
Next, he intended to surprise his opponent, so he couldn't be too high-profile.
...
On the other side, above ground.
The lightly sleeping Eugene slowly opened his eyes.
In his sight, Haruhime's lovely face was full of tenderness.
"Master, did you succeed?"
"Mmm."
Eugene smiled and reached out to pinch her small cheek.
"Soon you won't have to call me 'Master' anymore."
This was an honorific used by women for men in the Far East (Yamato).
In Eugene's view, it lacked a certain level of intimacy.
"Then what should I call you?" Haruhime tilted her head in confusion.
Eugene sat up and gently bit her smooth neck.
"Of course, you'll call me Husband~~"
"Ah!!"
Haruhime's face flushed red like an apple, and she playfully punched Eugene with small, shy fists.
"Big pervert!"
Though she complained out loud, her heart was blossoming with sweetness.
After all, this represented not just a progression in their relationship,
but also the imminent arrival of the "freedom" Eugene had promised her.
