My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem - My Dungeon Life – Chapter 1280-1282
Chapter 1280
The person masquerading as Master let out a cry of shock as I came slamming toward him, but he still managed to take my blade with his sword. The original head scientist didn’t have such combat abilities. His only trick had been to use a death spell to try to instantly kill me. As soon as I had bypassed that, he had been extremely easy to destroy. This was only a soulless copy of him, attempting to follow an approximation of what the original man wanted to do in an attempt to appear like a living being.
His memories and personality were like an infection. With his understanding of life and death that exceeded anyone in Dioshin, he was able to do something quite impressive. He was able to secretly infect and take over the dungeon master of a forming dungeon while it was in the progress of being created. Using his newfound power, he began to exploit and influence Miki. Her own will resisted, but he slowly gained power and bent her to his will, all so that when the time came, he could live again as Miki.
Taking over the body and mind of a dungeon master in progress had its perks. He was able to gain all of the skills and abilities of such a dungeon master. These were skills and abilities that Miki had given him, skills and abilities that I possessed. However, there was a disconnect there too. Miki only knew some of my power. She could only imagine what she had personally experienced, and I was growing all the time. The me at this moment was nothing like the me from before. Even if she had a high opinion of me, there was no saying that opinion would match reality.
Thus, this clone wasn’t an exact copy like the doppelganger from previous dungeons. This clone was more an approximation of Miki’s belief in me. To defeat him, I merely had to be better than that. However, that was no longer good enough for me. I had to be more than better. I had to show Miki who her Master truly was.
With Alysia in my hand, every attack against the Hero was harder and faster. He was constantly falling back. Just as I was going to pursue him as he retreated, I saw the giant pair of tits and the wrestler begin to race toward the trapped Miki. Given that they didn’t want her dead, I figured their bluff was up, but it seemed like the Hero had other plans. A form suddenly flew through the portal from my dungeon.
“Master!” Celeste cried out.
“Just in time. Deal with those two.” I ordered.
I had planned to handle it on my own, but I didn’t mind a little backup when the other team was trying to cheat.
“This fairy make good companion.” the fake Terra declared as she saw the real Celeste.
Being one of my Slaves and possibly the very reason Terra had created her escape, Celeste was immediately recognized.
“I don’t care! Kill her!” the Hero roared.
“Mmm… Gmmm… Mmgggmmm.” The fake Celeste mumbled from between her cleavage.
“What?” Celeste tilted her head. “No one can understand you. Your breasts are in the way.”
“…”
“…”
Celeste just went ahead and said it. The two looked at each other and then charged her. I wasn’t the only one who had changed drastically since Miki had last seen me. Celeste was now a complete evolution beyond the woman she once was. Her body blurred and then appeared behind Terra. She waved her hand, and a blade sliced up. The other Celeste threw up a wind protection. It took some of the blow, but the gash still flew through it and struck Terra, sending her massive form flying.
“Did you just use wind against me?” Celeste asked giggling.
“Mm… Mmmggg!” the other Celeste cried out.
“I said… I don’t understand what you’re saying! I’m just going to destroy you now, whoever you are!”
Celeste disappeared again. The other Celeste tried to flee in panic, but even with all the speed Miki could imagine, she was outclassed by the current Celeste. She grabbed her from behind, taking her two wings, and then she began to spin in a circle. Her body became a whirlwind as she spun, sending the floating rack flying around at nauseating speeds.
Terra stood up after recovering from her hit and then began to charge, attempting to protect her friend. At that moment, Celeste let go, and the tits flew off like a bullet. They were aimed though, directly at Terra. The back of the little Celeste slammed into Terra with a horrific force. Terra flew back, creating a crater as she struck the ground. Although boobs were thought to be soft, when thrown at such a brutal speed, they were more brutal than a cannonball.
Terra’s sternum was destroyed, and her front was collapsed. Meanwhile, the little celeste had been turned to mush. As her labored breaths became harder and harder to take, the stunned Terra looked down. For a moment, Celeste’s enormous chest had been plastered to Terra’s front, and it appeared as if Terra had a pair of large tits. If only for a second, she got to experience what it was like to have a big rack.
“H-heavy…” She croaked her final words.
A single tear fell down her cheek. She collapsed back, taking her last breath, a slight smile on her face. Even in Miki’s imagination, Terra had a boob complex.
Chapter 1281
The false hero had stumbled back, landing on his behind. He crawled away as I stepped forward with my blade. My body glowed with the light of the dungeon blessings, and there was a spark of fire in my eyes too. This man had tried to destroy and use Miki not just once, but twice. Whether he was some dungeon copy of the real man, he was scum any way you looked at him. It was only worse that he was once a foxkin himself.
Suddenly, the ground began to shudder, and I felt a sudden surge of miasma. The look of terror on the scientist’s face as his defeat drew near turned to happiness.
“Haha… it’s too late! The evolution has begun!”
I glanced over at Miki to see the chains had started to shift, lifting her into the air. She was glowing now, although the glow was coming from a bright orb that seemed to be within her chest. The miasma started to swarm violently. I was a bit familiar with this because I had been in a dungeon right before it collapsed once before. It felt a bit like the Twilight Dungeon as it was dying, although the energy felt more vigorous. It seemed like in the evolution process; this dungeon was going to collapse as well.
“Celeste! Get out of here now.”
“But Master…”
“Go!” When I saw the look of concern on her face, I smiled at her. “I already said. I’ll handle this.”
She nodded, giving one last worried look at Miki, and then flew back through the portal.
“Haha… handle it? In a minute, this dungeon will cease to exist, and everyone in it will be turned into miasma. Then, it will reform anew, stronger than before!” When I lifted my sword, he let out a cry and backed up several more steps. “Even if you kill me, you won’t accomplish anything! My memories are burned into the lore. I will return! It may be an inconvenience for me, but even if the dungeon evolves, I’ll still win in the end.”
I stopped my advance. “What do you propose?”
His lips flickered in a smile for a moment. “Only I am capable of turning things around. As her master, I can hold back the evolution, for just enough time.”
“Enough time for what?” I asked, frowning.
“For you to cut her soul out of the dungeon, of course!” He explained as the dungeon shaking grew more violent. “All you need to do is free her and take her soul with you. Had I known you could have connected your dungeon to this one like this, I would have suggested it. It’d be no different than taking a dungeon core.”
“Why would you agree to that?” I asked hesitantly. “Without her lore, won’t this dungeon still break apart, and you die?”
“Heh… it wouldn’t be too difficult, given the number of souls in this dungeon, to fashion a new core. I just need to find someone powerful enough. Once I sacrifice all the rest, I can use their energy to create a new dungeon core.”
“You’ll still be in Miki’s body,” I responded. “You’ll still be alive to torment this land.”
“What do you care what I do in Dioshin? You’ll have your precious Miki back. She may not have a body, but you can make her a new one and she can live out her days in your dungeon. If you do this, when I defeat the king and become the ruler of Dioshin, I will make a peace treaty with Aberis. How about that? It’s a win-win. I get what I want, and you get everything you could ever want! How about it?”
My face twisted in thought for a moment. I didn’t have much time though. The dungeon was falling apart. Any moment those souls would start being devoured, and then it was the end. After a bit of thought, I nodded.
“I agree…” I put out my hand.
A relieved smile formed on his face. He reached out his hand and I clasped it.
“Master…” Alysia said in disbelief.
I help him to his feet, but then when he went to pull his hand away, I didn’t let go. The smile on my face didn’t leave either. Instead, my eyes started to change. As he looked into them, his expression started to change from one of triumph, to fear.
“Wh-what?”
“Absorb,” I responded simply.
Chapter 1282
Our hands began to glow, and the Hero, or rather the scientist, let out a scream as he started to collapse to his knees. He desperately tried to pull away, but he couldn’t. As he reached for his sword with his free hand, I kicked it away.
“You fool!” he screeched. “What are you doing?”
“You said something that interested me. You’re just lore. You’re nothing but the memories of a man. You said that only you know. You may be right. We’ll find out in a moment, as I’ll be absorbing all of your memories!”
This wasn’t the first time I had harvested memories from another within a dungeon. It had only occurred to me as this guy was begging for his life. I knew that if I did what he wanted, it wouldn’t turn out in my favor. He was going to betray me one way or another. Therefore, I decided to betray him first.
His body started to break apart as he let out screams, but I held on tightly. As I absorbed his memories, I also tore them up. It made them more difficult to go through, but I didn’t want to accidentally invite him to try to manipulate me as well. I found that his memories were mostly of the dungeon. After all, the only lore of him the dungeon would possess was the lore that existed while he was a dungeon master. Thus, there was a lot of information about his experiments. It would take months, maybe even years to go through it all, and in reality, my mind couldn’t hold someone else’s memories, so it’d start fading almost the second it entered my mind, but I’d take what I could, specifically about this dungeon and Miki.
“This… isn’t… over…” He cried out.
“Sorry…” I lifted Alysia. “I’ve already dealt with a bastard that just wouldn’t die. This time, I’m not going to leave behind any baggage!”
I sliced down, even as I held onto him. His body broke into two and then disappeared into dust.
“Did you get what you need?” Alysia asked worriedly.
I hadn’t finished absorbing him but destroyed him with her blade in the middle. That was also to ensure his viral side didn’t show its ugly head.
“I don’t need his memories.” I shrugged. “I just absorbed him as a distraction. He couldn’t protect his soul while I was sucking it in.”
It was the equivalent of grabbing someone’s shield and pulling on it. While they were trying to hold back from losing their shield, they naturally couldn’t use it to block an attack from the side. I did want to know a bit of what happened, but my main concern was his swift death. Of course, there was another reason I absorbed a part of him. It was a small test. Now that I had seen it, I was certain what to do next.
I lunged toward the glowing Miki, and without anyone blocking me I chopped the chains holding her down. As soon as the chains broke, Alysia returned to my hand. Miki collapsed from the sky, falling into my arms. I immediately used some high-power spells on her, healing her damage and refreshing her mind.
Her eyes flickered open drowsily. “M-master?”
“Hello, Miki.”
“Master!” Her eyes popped open, and then she let out a cry.
She struggled in my arms, but her small form wasn’t able to break my hold in the slightest. She settled for covering her face with her hands.
I reached down and grabbed her wrists, pulling her hands from her face one at a time. She had tears running down her cheeks, and she was bright red. There was a look of embarrassment and shame on her face.
“Miki,” I repeated. “You should look at your Master when he’s talking to you.”
“Master… I’m sorry…” Miki responded weakly. “This is all my fault. Everything is my fault.”
I reached out and stroked the tears from her cheeks, although she continued to make more. “I don’t believe that, and even if it was, I wouldn’t care. I’m your Master. The fault is ultimately my own. I was responsible for all of you, and I failed you.”
“That’s not true!” Miki tried to protest. “I’m the one who didn’t believe in you. I’m the one who let him trick me into those experiments. I’m the one who allowed him to manipulate me.”
“So, you do understand.”
She looked down and bit her lip. “Y-yes… the lore… it’s all in my head.”
“Then, you understand that your mistake was not trusting in me.”
“I understand, wait… what?”
“Master always figures it out.” I flicked her forehead.
“Ahhh! M-master!”
“Since you understand, let me show you what your Master truly is capable of.”
“What do you mean?” Miki asked, rubbing her forehead.
“What is it that you wish right now, more than anything?”
“I wish…” She looked away. “I wish all of the people I killed… I wish I could set things right.”
I smiled. “Then, just watch. “
“I-it’s too late, the dungeon is breaking apart!”
Even this area was cracking apart. The walls were breaking down, and the floor was giving way to nothingness. We were standing in a dungeon that was falling apart at the seams, yet I was completely calm. I reached out and put my hand on Miki’s chest, where the glowing orb rested.
“Absorb.”
