My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem - My Dungeon Life – Chapter 1178-1180

Chapter 1178

“It’s too late!” Elaya cried.

“Not on your life!” I leaped forward.

“It’s him!” The guards finally noticed me as well, raising their weapons to fight while the Xin knockoff was farther back.

“Get out of my way!” I slammed through the guards and leaped over the edge, using the full advantage of my speed and haste to move almost like a blur.

Hanging from the ledge, my eyes dropped to the falling Faeyna. Without a moment’s hesitation, I shoved off the wall with all of my force. I still had all of the strength modifiers I had added, and I shoved against the bridge with so much strength that the concrete exploded out under my feet, shot out into the air, and knocking the guards back. I flew down at Faeyna at an impossible speed. Her arms opened as she looked at me with wide eyes.

I reached out and grabbed her, incidentally pulling her toward the water at an even faster rate. I didn’t care though. I threw up several buffers and barriers, putting my body around her protectively. We slammed into the water.

“Master!” Elaya cried out in worry. “What’s happening?”

She wasn’t able to be in this part of the memory. Just like certain mobs were only allowed on certain floors, she too likely faced invisible walls keeping her from entering this area, so she could only guess what was going on by guesswork.

At that point, I was a bit too busy to answer her. I was in the water now, and I was slamming into rocks and walls as the current pulled us along. I was using myself to protect Faeyna who was in my grip. The barriers I put up managed to take some physical damage, but they wouldn’t hold up for long. That wasn’t even the only problem. The miasma flood had already reached the bridge and incinerated it. If it reached us, I didn’t know what would happen to me. As for Faeyna, she would likely be reset back to the beginning.

“I’m pulling you out!” Elaya declared.

“Wait! Can you get Faeyna…”

“I… I can’t…”

The shields protecting me, some composed of mana and others composed of wind shattered. The next strike slammed my back into a rock.

“I’m not going!”

“Master, we can try again next time. You know what to do now!” Elaya urged.

My eyes opened, and I looked down into Faeyna in my arms. She wasn’t a short woman, but she seemed so small in my arms now. She looked up at me and gave a gentle smile. It was filled with trust. It seemed to say that no matter what happened, she trusted in me. I wouldn’t let her go through this dungeon again. I wouldn’t let things repeat.

Although I had made this declaration, I felt the miasma getting closer. As it did so, it felt like it was sucking away my mana.

If its ultimate goal was to reset the entire dungeon for the next cycle. To do that, it sucked up everything and then recreated it. Powerful beings like Elaya and Xin were able to survive such waves, and perhaps I could as well. However, that involved whatever tricks Elaya had up her sleeve. She certainly didn’t let herself get struck head-on by the miasma wave. The Twilight dungeon likely had a process similar to this, but we had been fortunate enough to arrive at the end of the dungeon, just as it started falling apart, so the next wave was unable to begin.

My body hit a rock and another rock. For a second I felt like I nearly blacked out. I also wasn’t in a situation where I could just heal myself, so the wounds were accumulating, never mind the lack of oxygen. My eyes saw a light. This was my chance. I had to go for it. Letting out a roar, I used Create Step. I put all my power into pushing off from the step. The step shattered under me, and moments later the miasma wave reached that point. However, I had propelled myself forward at an alarming rate. As the light grew, I lost consciousness.

Chapter 1179

“Master…” A voice came distantly. “Master!”

My eyes opened, and I could feel the wind blowing against me. Faeyna was on top of me, her arms wrapped around me, her feet up in the air, the wind blowing wildly. I blinked, and then the rushing wind finally clicked in my mind. We were falling. I reached out and grabbed Faeyna. Looking back, I was floored to see that we were falling from the sky. We were above Chalm!

How the heck did we get up here? My eyes landed on the mana fountain. That hole I had jumped toward… that must have been the exit to the mana fountain! I went in the dungeon, and then blasted out of the mana fountain like a whale spout. Ah… I might have used a bit too much force because we ended up in this situation.

“Faeyna, you’re free from the dungeon!”

“Master, you’re alive!” Faeyna grabbed me and pulled me into a kiss.

When she broke it off, I gave her a guilty look. “I’m not sure if we will be for long.”

“That…”

“That reset sucked out all my mana, and I’ve taken a lot of wounds. I don’t think I can cast a spell if I wanted to.”

Even trying to access the dungeon store hurt. This was ridiculous. I had broken through the invisible wall, snatched Faeyna, changed the lore, and saved her, all so that the pair of us could fall to our deaths.

“You’ll think of something.” She smiled, snuggling against me.

She wasn’t worried at all! She could be a little worried. I was worried. My best bet would be to desperately force myself to cast spells to try to slow us down once we got close to the ground. Whether I could manage or not was anyone’s guess. I let out a sigh. If we survived out not, I had done it. I had changed the lore. I pulled Faeyna from it without taming her like a monster or doing something ridiculous.

“Faeyna…” I lifted her chin so that she looked up at me.

“Master.”

“I love you. I’m not going to let you go from now on.”

Faeyna shook in my hand. Tears fell from her eyes, but they flew away almost as soon as she cried. “Mm!”

The pair of us kissed one last time. If I had to face a sudden death, there were worse ways to go than with the feeling of a beautiful elf maid in my arms, her chest pressed against mine as she cried tears of happiness.

“MMMMaaaaassster!” I heard a screech.

“Huh?” I looked up just in time to see something flying at me. “Ah! Bird feet!”

“Ahh!” Faeyna cried out.

“Geh!”

Talons came down, one grabbing her and the other grabbing me. They seemed to yank us apart fairly aggressively. Then there came a beating of wings, and our falling speed started to drop.

“Selena?” I cried.

“Master!” She beat her wings excitedly.

The pair of us had been caught by a Sirin. I had no clue when she had chosen to leave the dungeon, but she was now flying us above the city.

“Aiiii! Ahhhh!” I looked over to see Faeyna in distress.

Selena had caught Faeyna by her ankle, and she was now dangling upside down. She was desperately trying to keep her dress from falling up and revealing everything. Meanwhile, she grabbed me by the back of my clothing and had me sitting quite comfortably.

“Um… Selena, could you perhaps…” Selena shot me a look. “I guess… it can’t be helped. Please bear with it, Faeyna!”

It seems like I couldn’t protect her from everything. Some battles she’d need to handle on her own.

Chapter 1180

“Take us down!” I pointed toward the entrance to the dungeon.

As we made our way down, I could see people emerging from the city. It seemed that we had been seen by those in the city in the air, and they were coming to meet us. A few people were pointing up, but no one seemed to be hostile. It looked like the city was calm at the moment. Xin must have been able to take over the de-angering of the population. Perhaps, Elaya had given the key to how before she released her from the dungeon.

When Selena reached the entrance, she let go with her talons all of a sudden. I landed on my feet without issue, but I moved quickly as Faeyna let out a scream, just managing to keep her from being dropped on her head. I shot Selena a look, who whistled innocently before landing just enough distance away that I couldn’t yell at her.

“Master, I think you should return to the dungeon.” Elaya declared.

“Return?”

“You don’t need to worry, it’s safe now. You can bring everyone with you.”

I decided to take her word for it. Xin approached me still holding onto Alysia. As soon as she got close to me she turned into a ball of light and escaped Xin’s hand, flying into the back of mine. Xin let out a cry.

“D-daughter!” She wailed. “Leaving me so suddenly…”

“M-mother’s love is scary.” She whispered to me. “Please don’t give me to her again.”

“I see…”

I tried to think about how scary a mother’s love could be. I supposed Shao could sometimes be scary, so I figured it might be something like that. I took Faeyna’s hand, causing her to blush slightly, and then I gestured for Xin to follow me. Selena stepped forward as well, seemingly curious. We stepped through the dungeon.

As soon as I stepped in, we appeared in a clear field much like the one I had first started in. However, this time, there was absolutely no rain and the sky was bright and sunny. It might be a bit too sunny, as the light was blinding my eyes. Wait for a second… that light wasn’t the sun at all.

“Seriously?”

I didn’t run or curse. Instead, I braced myself as the glowing orb suddenly dived down. However, instead of entering me, it went into Faeyna instead. She let out a little cry of surprise, but she didn’t show any signs that it hit her. After a few moments of her eyes being closed, she opened them again and smiled.

“So, the power of the dungeon merged back into me.” She sighed.

I had been thinking that I would end up with another blessing. However, it wasn’t so much that the curse was destroyed as that the reason for the curse subverted. As a result, there was no longer any curse. Faeyna reabsorbed the energy from the dungeon. By the look of it, she had also ended up gaining a bit of strength because of this. I wasn’t too worried though, because some text had appeared in front of my vision too.

{You have reclaimed the dungeon, Deek’s Dungeon.}

It looked like something remained of my dungeon after all. That’s when another piece of text appeared.

{Your dungeon has gained sufficient lore. It has started to evolve.}

What’s this then?
