"I think if we could somehow synthetize a compound using metals, crystals, and different types of stones, it could be possible to make something like an Elixir for these people." My mother-in-law, explained. She slowly walked back towards us after making sure she analyzed the other golden people, which she noticed had the exact same composition. "The organic matter we usually consume won't do."

"So we need to make them like… A specially tasty ingot?" Wondered Aquarina. "Or maybe a rock?"

"It would be better if it was in liquid form, but yes, something like that dear." Giggled Nepheline. "The problem is, it's not like we have every single thing we need at our disposal. I do have a giant stash of metals and ores back home though. But I barely brought anything with me. Orichalcum is an amazing metal, but it derives from their blood and well, it looks like they absorb it back once it dries off. We did hunt a lot of golems before, most of them made of Spirit Crystals and Mithril, do you have enough left from that, Sylphy, Aquarina?"

She asked us directly; I had a large pile of materials saved inside my Inventory. It was part of all my savings. Giving it all away was really painful, especially because you don't usually find such a huge nest of naturally occurring golems like we did back then. But if I could save the lives of these people with them, then I wasn't going to falter or something.

"Sure! Let's first gather all the things we've gotten. We could even use the materials we got from the Sunstone Plateau!" I said. "Those that have a lot of rich sunlight essence inside could be very useful for these people's recovery, seeing how they require sunlight to recover."

"That's right!" Aquarina nodded. "We could use those! We do have a HUGE haul from all the things we mined in the dungeon where we fought Apollo."

Sphynxiette looked at us with curiosity and a bit of surprise as we started taking out piles after piles of "tasty" food. She was beginning to drool as she saw everything. There was at least a hundred tons of Sunstone of varying qualities and types. I took out everything I wouldn't need for later; I was planning on using this over time or sell them off to accumulate savings.

"Sphynxiette, can you taste these stones?" My mother offered her a variety of Sunstones of different colors and qualities.

"Y-Yes, gladly!" She nodded, quickly beginning to munch on them like her life depended on it. "Crunch, hmmm! Such rich in flavor! W-What is this?! So tasty! Ahh!" She was having an ecstasy eating these stones nobody could ever digest but her and her kind.

As she ate and digested the items, Nepheline analyzed her body and her life force, quickly realizing that the yellow-colored Sunstones were the most effective. And even Sphynxiette noticed it. Her vitality was back to a hundred percent after eating only a few of those. The rest had different effects, from temporarily increasing her physical strength to make her feel weightless or even slightly relaxed, like a drug.

"Looks like the yellow ones could work! They boosted my vitality the most. Look." She used her own nails to cut her hand, leaving a deep wound, which usually takes up to ten seconds to recover.

However, right now, she recovered it almost as instantly as she cut through the flesh, a delay of less than a second. It was incredible how much it boosted their regeneration!

"This is it! This yellow sunstone! It happens to also be the most common, we're on a lucky streak!" My mother felt rather joyous. "But we'll need more than just this. Think of it as an Elixir. We use medicinal herbs as the base, but we also require adding all other types of ingredients to boost the healing effects and complement them, while enhancing digestion."

"We'll have to let her taste all kinds of things then." My father said. "But even then, do we even have enough materials at hand?"

"Hmm, well, we can always go inside my Dungeon." I said, finally accepting it. "There's the Fourth Floor where the dragon monsters and the volcanic landscape is located. I think we can mine all kinds of ores and crystals there which have grown a lot since the last time we went."

"Wait, there's a fourth floor now?" My father asked. "When did…?"

"Some little time ago, dad, don't sweat the details." I shrugged. "[Dungeon Gate]"

FLASH!

A blue gate opened, revealing the path inside the Dungeon's fourth floor. I can now create gate that lead to any point inside my dungeon without any issues. Everyone quickly followed me after what I said, carrying with themselves giant pickaxes.

"Was there such a place inside of your bracelet this whole time, little Sylph?" Sphynxiette wondered, looking around. "This almost feels like the power those "Gods" possessed. Incredible! And such a warm and welcoming landscape!"

"I'm glad you find it comfortable! But we got little time right now, Sphynxiette. Let's quickly search for all the materials we need; we have to save your friend's lives." I said.

"Y-Yes, thank you!" She nodded, feeling rather ashamed to receive so much help. "Just tell me and I'll do anything! I am strong, so I can mine these tasty minerals with my bare hands."

"That would be of great help, actually! Can you carry us to the summit of that volcano? On its depths there's a lot of precious ores the dragon usually eats. Let's take a few of those." I said, climbing up her back.

"But of course! Let's go!" She swiftly flapped her giant wings, carrying Aquarina, Mist, Lara, and me along. The rest stayed behind mining resources with our parents.

FLAAASH!

"Woooaaah! She's too fast!" Mist cried.

"Hahahaha!" Lara laughed. "Amazing!"

"We're here!" Sphynxiette said, full of vitality. "Is it down there? Can you girls dive in that boiling stone?"

"I can, leave it to me." I quickly leaped into the burning magma, swimming down.

SPLASH!
