My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem - My Dungeon Life – Chapter 1124-1126

Chapter 1124

“The Guild Master is rather tough,” I responded.

I had knocked him back twice, but each time, with a roar, he’d leap back onto the roof, charging at me like an animal. Well, animals didn’t use swords, and despite his current feral state, he seemed to still be able to understand how to use a weapon. Calling them completely mindless would be incorrect.

“What should we do, Master?” Alysia asked. “I can knock him unconscious.”

I glanced over in the direction of the undefended dungeon. If the residents of Chalm were being controlled by the dungeon now, it seemed kind of odd that the primary entrance to the dungeon wasn’t being protected at all. The people all remained in the city. This could mean that the people had some basic attachment to the city. They may be aggressive, but perhaps they remained in their comfort areas instinctively. This could also mean some kind of trap near the entrance. I didn’t know.

Shaking my head slowly, I focused back on the charging man. “Don’t take him down. I have another plan for him.”

I dodged the Guild Master, leaping back to the previous building. He immediately changed his footing to follow. He was quite adept with footwork. I had thought all of my time in the dungeons had caused me to far outstrip the simple people of Chalm. However, I continually find myself amazed at how small my worldview had been. The Guild Master, for example, seemed to be just as strong as any of my girls had been around the time we defeated Demon Lord Aberis for the first time.

I hadn’t seen him in the battle, although he had surely helped fight the demon armies, and he had even led the local adventurers in battle. I recalled hearing something about the adventurers being one of the stronger teams. At the time, it hadn’t registered. After all, I had joined the adventurers once, and while no one died, they had been beaten back by the zombies of Mina’s dungeon. This had given me an impression that Chalm’s adventuring guild wasn’t that strong.

Then again, that had been Chalm Crossing. It stood to reason that as Chalm was reclaimed and quests going out to the wilderness became available, that stronger and more capable adventurers would have been pulled out west by the promise of adventure. I had donated a lot of my coin which had ended up paying these adventurers to keep back the wilderness. It wasn’t all the dungeon dissuading them, but also the work of the people putting their lives on the line. That was something I shouldn’t forget. It looked like my party weren’t the only Chalm residents getting stronger.

Now that I remembered it, Big Sis Ruby had also managed to keep up with my girls, although she had ultimately decided that we were too reckless and stopped following me. Ah, speaking of which, if Guild Master was under control, then wouldn’t she…

“Trap!” I tried to leap to the side, but a hidden person had been waiting as the Guild Master had forced me back while I considered how I was going to capture him.

Ruby appeared, stabbing me in the back with her blade. She let out a howl as she stabbed into my back. Guild Master took the initiative and also attacked, stabbing me from the front. Blood splashed from my body as I was cut from both sides. I hadn’t expected them to coordinate like this. It looked like the higher their levels, the more intelligence they retained.

“Master!” Alysia let out a cry as I was skewered from both sides.

Chapter 1125

“Gotcha!” I grabbed onto the wrists of the Guild Master and Ruby, a slight grin on my face, using their moment of triumph against them.

With Mimic equipped, I used Karmic Control, diving into their souls and attacking the miasmic infection at its source. The two let out panicked screams, but after having already worked out how to do this once, it was much easier the second time. I could probably even do it from a distance, but I had to be certain this time. The two infected people collapsed to the ground. Whether it was because my skill was more refined this time, or because they were both heartier, they didn’t pass out completely.

Instead, the pair leaned on the ground, gasping for breath. It was the Guild Master who had recovered first. He looked up at me, his eyes no longer black, and he let out a horrified cry.

“L-Lord Deekson!”

I looked down at him. “Guild Master.”

“Deek… y-you’re alive!” A voice shouted behind me, and then large arms wrapped around me from behind.

“Ahhh! C-can you at least get these weapons out of me?”

“Oh no!” She turned red, reaching out and grabbing and pulling her blade out.

“I’m sorry!” The Guild Master ripped his weapon out at the same time.

“Gahhhh… that smarts!” I fell to a knee, but I was already casting Heal.

Actually, after the torture I had experienced through Alysia’s torment in the soul domain, this kind of pain was nothing. I had let the pair strike me. I had just been planning to let the Guild Master strike me. I hadn’t realized Ruby was there until it was too late, so I allowed her to strike too. My body was too tough for them to cause more than superficial wounds. My vitality was something that couldn’t be ignored. Even compared to Osterians, I would be hard to knockdown.

Although they were both fast and strong, they were still not thinking clearly. Perhaps, if they worked toward a fight of attrition, they could have slowly worn me down. That’s why I chose to ultimately take the hits head on. I needed to get close enough to grab them, and I needed them to let their guard down for a moment. I didn’t know if they could use skills in that state, and I didn’t want to tempt them to the point they were using powerful skills and potentially hurting themselves or the other infected.

As the wounds started to close at a visible rate, I heard a sudden sob. Ruby threw her arms around me again.

“I’m so sorry! I’m sorry!” She bellowed loud enough that even the infected downstairs awkwardly started to walk away.

“Who is this then?” Alysia asked.

She had been perfectly fine with princesses and slaves, but for some reason, Ruby, with her big chest that revealed a ton of cleavage being pressed against me had caused Alysia to grow irate. The Guild Master scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly.

“She had become a wreck after she thought you died.” He admitted. “I have to say, I’m glad to see the rumors were wrong. I’m even more glad to see you. As you can see, Chalm needs you.”

Hearing the screeching calls throughout the city, I had to say that this was an understatement.

Chapter 1126

“Alysia, this is big sis Ruby. She’s… um…”

“I’m his big sister!” Ruby pushed against me, her chest pressing against my arm as she glared at Alysia. “And who is this?”

“Alysia! I’m his sword.”

“Hmph… you weren’t able to protect him from my blade.”

“That was… he moved me out of the way!” Alysia shot back poutily.

In a time that felt like forever ago, it had been Ruby who had helped acclimate me to the Adventuring -0pGuild. She was over a head taller than me, and I had ended up knowing her as a big sister. Later on, she traveled with my group for a bit while battling bandits, but eventually decided we were too reckless and left our team. I had honestly been under the impression she didn’t like me all that much. Since I had merged, I was now a head taller than her, so my big sister was now smaller than me, but for some reason, she had her arm around me and was acting extremely protective.

We had fled back to the Adventuring Guild, the Guild Master using a smoke bomb to hide our escape from the other infected. We were now in his office. According to him, his office had many defensive spells placed on it, and it wouldn’t be easy for anyone to get in here, allowing us some time to speak in private. At that point, Alysia had returned to her human form, her arms crossed, glaring at Ruby, who had incidentally glared back.

I had always thought that Ruby was half-Osterian because of her size. Meanwhile, Alysia was half-Osterian, although she looked all Osterian because of her mother’s sacrifice. They were both well-endowed adventurers with out-going friendly demeanors. One would think that the two would get along fantastically. Incidentally, both of them had never shown an ounce of a problem with Lydia or any of my other slave girls, let alone Eliana or Raissa. Raissa and Ruby seemed to get along well. So, why were they glaring at each other? Women were truly confusing.

“I thought that you were angry at me,” I admitted to Ruby, partially to prevent the two from fighting even more.

“A-angry…” She cocked her head. “Why do you think that?”

“Um… the Guild Master… he said you didn’t want to adventure with us anymore. He said you retired. I thought, after we had done all of those dangerous things, you had come to resent us.”

Ruby blinked and then turned to the Guild Master. He straightened up. Ruby suddenly pulled out her blades.

“What did you say, old man?”

“Ahh! R-R-Ruby! It’s not what it looks like! The situation…” He looked at me and threw out his hand, pointing. “He said he wanted to get you pregnant!”

“Ehhh?” I stumbled back. “That’s… I mean, I said it, but I didn’t mean it!”

I did vaguely recall saying that if she wanted to have children, I’d have them with her, but I was more flustered after she suddenly dumped me. Not me! My team! I wasn’t dumped by Ruby!

“You what?” Ruby glared at me.

“Y-you misunderstand!” I waved my hands desperately. “I just didn’t want you to leave the party!’

“You said you were conflicted, so I was just trying to help!” The Guild Master cried out.

Ruby glared at both of us. “What kind of cheap woman do you think I am? You think either of you can decide these kinds of things for me?”

My mouth flapped open and closed a few times. Meanwhile, the Guild Master looked on with wide eyes. I shot a look to Alysia, hoping for some support here.

She glanced away with a sniff. “Men are scum.”

Ruby and Alysia shared a nod of agreement. Why did they start getting along now of all times?
