Chapter 1180 The Family Is Here
"Chief, chief, chief!"
"Everyone. Back! So happy. Very happy."
"I am crying. I am so happy. Crying out of happiness right now."
"Mother! Father! You are. Back!"
"I thought. I would not see you again. Dear."
"So happy."
The robots quickly greeted the only surviving family left behind back where we ended being teleported into. Apparently they were all a big family and not separated smaller families. So every single person was missed by the family we meet.
Although they only had a little house, it wasn\'t because the rest were destroyed though, apparently they were on their way to make many more, they had recently started building things, after many years of accumulating knowledge and growing.
"The slimes told me they\'ve been living with them for a little while now." Said Pyuku. "And that they were good friends, the slimes helped them collect and clean scrap and the robots feed them whatever food they could find, such as mushrooms and small animals that crawled around here."
"I see!" I nodded. "Well, I\'m really happy everyone\'s back together, but I am worried now what could happen to these robots and the-"
BAAAMMM!!!
RUMBLE!
However, before I could even speak anymore, the entire caves trembled. Far away, something collapsed, the ceiling itself, making the entire underground tremble as if the world was coming to an end. Seconds later, we saw a group of people rushing here. My parents and Aquarina\'s parents leading them.
"SYLPHY! By the Spirits, you\'re okay!" My mother cried, hugging me tightly.
"What happened?! You were not responding any of our messages!" My father said angrily and worried at the same time.
Both hugged me really tightly, so much I felt that at any moment I would be completely crushed! Even my mother had a lot of physical strength, it was insane.
"S-Sorry! We were going to go the surface after a bit! We had to take care of an infestation of metallic monsters down here, so we took some time to dig upwards..." I apologized. "Honestly I\'m surprised it took you this long to get down here!"
"We had some faith in your strength so we tried to wait patiently, your life wasn\'t in danger until recently, as I could easily sense it through our connection as mother and daughter." My mother said.
"Wait, connect?" I wondered. "And yeah, I was fighting a Tier 10 Monster with Aquarina."
"Tier 10?!" My two parents once more screamed.
It was a similar scene with Aquarina right now. Her parents were both hugging her and thanking the heavens she was okay, but at the same time reprimanding her.
"You already have strong enough Earth Magic! Why didn\'t you dig upwards with Sylphy instead of staying down here fighting a Tier 10 Monster?! Are you insane! THAT THING COULD HAVE EASILY KILLED YOU!" Her mother was losing her mind.
"This time I can\'t be on your side Aquarina, your mother is right." Her father nodded. "You had us dead worried."
"Okay, okay! I\'m sorry! I just couldn\'t leave the robots and the slimes behind! And we didn\'t die at the end, we survived and made it out. We are a strong couple with Sylphy, a mere Tier 10 monster won\'t take us down, nuh-huh!" Aquarina said confidently.
Well, if it wasn\'t for my ability to change my classes temporarily and gain immense power against the Scrap King thanks to the bonuses of the classes I changed into, the outcome could have been vastly different, I fear to admit.
"Don\'t nuh-huh me!" Her mother roared. "You\'re grounded!"
"EH?! But I got sent here without knowing! Why would I be grounded! That\'s unfair!" Aquarina cried. "Also there\'s like a week left in our vacation, you can\'t ground me!"
"Nepheline, I think you\'re going too far now." Her father said. "Calm down, let\'s not go too far."
"Hmm… Agh, I guess…" Nepheline sighed. "Anyways, Aquarina… Hah, please don\'t be reckless, okay? I know you\'re strong, and I know you\'re confident on your strength. But there had also been many times you\'ve almost died. Growing overconfident and becoming reckless are the roots of dying a early death."
"…Okay, I get it." Aquarina said. "Sorry."
As she apologized with her parents, I did the same.
"Sorry!" I cried.
"Why are you sorry anyways?" My father asked.
"Sylphy I\'m happy you\'re okay, but you feel kind of stronger out of nowhere, what happened?" My mom asked.
"Ah, I was just cultivating…" I laughed. "I really got stronger, huh? That\'s pretty neat. Looks like I was able to create a new body refining technique that allows me to absorb metals."
"Absorb metals?" My father muttered. "T-That\'s insane…"
"Nobody in our family has that though!" My mother said. "How did you even develop that ability?"
"It just came from me naturally." I said, I wasn\'t lying. "I wanted to make a new technique, and through my alchemy and other skills, I thought, why not just absorb the metals? This technique came out as my physique developed. Maybe it could be related with the dragon blood?"
"Oh, I guess that could be it! Dragons do eat metals and crystals to make their scales tougher too." My father nodded. "But I thought her main physique ability was that dual aura and her Draconification, something like a body strengthening metal-absorption technique is not what I imagined."
"I guess so." My mother nodded, kissing my forehead. "I\'m relieved you\'re a genius, dear. At least you can get strong really fast."
"Hahah, I guess? Is Zephy around here- Ah, there you are!" I said, as he ran towards me and hugged me.
"Big sis! I heard you killed a Tier 10 monster?! Really!" He asked me with big, glowing eyes full of admiration.
"Yep! Your big sister\'s super strong after all, hehe!" I smiled, puffing my chest.
"So cool! I want you to tell me more about how everything went!" He said excitedly. "Ooh, what are those golems though?"
"Ah, these are the robots! Everyone don\'t be so shy. These are our family and friends." I talked to the robots.
"Family and friends? Welcome then. To the village. I am. Chief." The robot extended his big hand towards my father, as he awkwardly gave him a gently handshake.
"N-Nice to meet you… talking golem?"
