My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem

“They have encountered the fairy level.” Elaya responded worriedly.

The girls, particularly First, had seemingly been worked into a frenzy. They had pushed forward with nearly reckless abandon, almost like King Roth behind them was a reflection of their doom. I had placed all of the evolved Fairy’s on this level, and they swarmed the group as soon as the battle began, launching decimating spells.

The fairies began to overtake the harem. More and more fell. The lioness queen had gathered the other lionesses and created a circle, protecting themselves. Those outside the circle were falling quickly, but the rest seemed to hold the line. It was at this point that First seemed to lose all reason. She let out a scream, grabbing a nearby woman who was trying to protect herself, and then cutting her throat. Her hand seemed to reach into the woman and then pull out her soul, and a moment later that soul burned into flame.

“She’s using a soul as a magic reagent.” Miki gasped.

Mana existed in many forms, and those forms that had a physical form were called reagents. Spirit fire, miasma, gaia, and fairy dust were all examples of reagents we had found in the past. It turned out that the soul could also be burned directly to enhance magic too. Well, I had known that for some time, but I had never put two and two together until that moment that she had deliberately killed someone to steal and burn their soul.

That person would never be resurrected. It was truly a permanent death. Even Gaia only chopped up the lore into thousands of pieces. The lore still was allowed to exist. This was pure destruction. An eruption of magic shot out, creating a wave of fire that rose into the air.

“Get out of there!” I gave the order, although it was anyone’s guess if they heard.

The fairies scattered, many of them being severely damaged in the subsequent flames of sacrifice. When the flames finally disappeared, the body of the woman turned to dust. Even the lioness queen was staring at the magician with uneasy eyes, let alone the rest of the girls present.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

She looked around them, her eyes unhinged and completely out of breath. “Let’s go!”

The remaining women moved forward.

“The remaining fairies, come back here.” I sighed. “We’ll make our last stand here.”

Elaya relayed the message, and the harem was allowed to continue unhindered. When the remaining evolved fairies appeared, most of them looked extremely tattered and beaten. Counting out our numbers versus the enemy, we still were outnumbered two to one. I pulled back all of the forces and made it easy for them to move forward. King Roth was coming, and I didn’t want them to meet up. If I could defeat the rest of his harem before King Roth arrived, maybe there would still be a chance. That was what I was my only hope.

Thus, even though King Roth was moving down level by level, completely wiping them out one after another with his slow and inevitable march, the harem made it down to the lowest level, walking into the boss level.

“There you are…” The crazed first grinned. “Are you ready for death?”
