My Dungeon Life – Chapter 1662-1664

Chapter 1662

“Kill him!” A few pirates noticed me as I rose onto the shore of the main island.

I raised my hand and sent out several spells. One of them was able to dodge the spells, but the rest quickly succumbed. I cut the third one down with ease and continued. Unlike the fey armada around the human core, there was a more diverse range of enemies here. They naturally wouldn’t have pirates around their more sensitive inner workings, but they were happy to use them in the take over of the main island.

Perhaps some were loyal to the fey, but most were just enjoying the chance to raid and pillage to their fill. They likely didn’t care who was in charge or what the political ramifications of their actions were. They simply aided in sewing chaos, helping the fey fulfill their goals while putting fewer of their soldiers at risk.  It didn’t matter to me whether they were fey invaders or pirate opportunists, I slaughtered them all just the same.

I didn’t go out of my way to destroy their souls. The fey didn’t have souls that could be resurrected, while the pirates were free to be resurrected, especially now that cracks ran across the sky, breaking any sense of restraint the dungeon might have held over them. That said, it was most countries’ official policy to not resurrect those who ended up with certain taboo jobs. These jobs included thieves, bandits, pirates, and dark priests, to name a few. If you had such a job, it was much like being a fey. After all, if no one was willing to resurrect you, then your death was assured.

Some bandit groups were lucky, getting the alliance of a dark priest or fallen priest who would resurrect them for a steep price, but the majority didn’t have such options, making their career decision come at a major cost. It was safe to assume that these pirates who were now being used by the fey were as good as dead, but such thoughts didn’t concern me in the slightest. I only wanted to kill them, one after another, until they all paid the ultimate price.

The farther along I went, the less my mind worked, and the more my desire to kill grew. My power also seemed to grow if not stronger, than at least sharper as I grew more comfortable with the flow of power, steadily depleting the dungeon and the souls of the humans nearby. Interestingly, this included some of the pirates, who had seemingly collapsed and started glowing with white light. I found I could suck out their energy and experience and make it my own with the snap of a finger.

I could feel the hate, regret, fear, and pain of a million years of human history, and I would make the world suffer for all of it.

“Attack!” A group of fey had laid in wait, attempting to launch a surprise attack on me.

My arms went wide, and I erupted with mana. A shockwave caused the souls to leave the bodies of the charging soldiers, and they all collapsed to the ground like their cords had been cut. Their souls floated back in confused silence for a few moments, and then faded away to dust. They were dead just like that.

“Regroup at the town hall!” I heard someone shout.

My eyes followed the fleeing stragglers as they ran. The fey was trying to form up on the hill where the town hall rested, the most fortified spot on the island and the place they had conquered with some effort. Since that was where they decided to make their last stand, I would oblige them. I started to walk in that direction, killing anyone in my way.

Chapter 1663

I walked through the city seemingly uncontested after that last ambush, that was until I reached the base of the hill that overlooked the city and dock. Standing in the middle of my path were a group of women.

“Master! We heard what happened.” Lydia bit her lip. “I don’t understand what Master is doing, but Master needs to stop.”

“You’re in my way,” I responded in a monotone voice.

“Your soul is on fire, Master,” Miki spoke up. “We can feel the pain you’re in. I can feel the life force of the nearby humans. They are all getting weaker at an alarming rate.”

“Move.”

“Tsk… Master wants to be difficult.” Shao huffed. “I don’t care who you want to kill, but you’re hurting yourself to do it, and that’s something I won’t allow.”

“This state your in is dangerous,” Astria added. “If you keep it up, your soul will irreversibly be tainted. This feels like what happened to me when I formed my dungeon and became a dark fairy. You’re becoming a dungeon monster! You need to snap out of it before your mind is gone.”

“I said move!” I screamed.

“Master, please settle…” Terra declared as she walked cautiously toward me with her hands up.

I lashed out with power, the ground erupting under her feet. Terra let out a shout as she was thrown to the side. At that moment, all of them charged me at once. They were more opponents, more red dots to be eliminated. I channeled a dozen spells, sending out attacks at each of them. The spells were countered by Elaya. Celeste was the one to reach me first, sending several wind blades aimed at my arms and legs.

I ignored the attacks as they cut into my armor, something she wasn’t expecting. Instead, I focused on a pure beam of mana and shot her with it. Her body flickered as her mana body was disrupted. She fell from the sky and hit the ground at my feet. At that point, the second-fastest Lydia had reached me. She spun a spear, aiming to strike me down. I caught the spear in my hand, and then reached out and grabbed her throat. At that moment, Shao appeared at my side, attempting to deliver an assassin’s strike. I threw Lydia in her direction, sending the two women sprawling.

Astria and Elaya sent our barrages of attacks, but I ignored them. Instead, I blurred and leaped toward Miki. She had started to form ninetails, and her focus had been on awakening her power to the point she wasn’t expecting me to appear in front of her. I struck her in the neck with an open palm, and she collapsed into my arms. I then picked her up and used her as a shield. The two women who were launching spells at me desperately tried to redirect them before they struck the defenseless Miki.

I was able to grab the flustered Astria before she flew away, and then I chucked her at Elaya. As the two women ended up tangled up, I continued to move up the hill.

“Master!” I heard Lydia shout as she got back to her feet. “No!”

“Stand down. Slave Order!” I snarled without looking back.

Chapter 1664

“My lord!” First cried out.

The lionesses were behind a hastily built barricade, and they were all tied up and on their knees. Alysia and Titan’s Fall were absent, but Anne and the rest of her church had also been taken as prisoners. The fey had their blades at their throats in a menacing way. My eyes immediately locked on a single person, Kaia.

“Take another step forward, and I’ll kill them! I swear it!” Kaia cried out, her blade held to the neck of Carmine, who looked to be barely standing, half of her face covered in black corruption.

I looked at all of them and then pulled up the menu. I selected all of the red marks and then raised my hand. Several dozen magic arrows appeared in the air. As Kaia saw this, she tightened her grip on her weapon.

“I said s-stop! Stop!” She shouted.

I lifted my hand and snapped. Every arrow was released at once. The arrows weren’t just targeted at the soldiers, but the hostages as well. The panicked Kaia lifted her hand, just managing to counteract the two arrows coming right at her and Carmine. The arrows aimed at the fey struck them. Some of the weaker ones collapsed dead, while the others were pushed back or injured. The arrows aimed at Anne and the others were blocked by a counterspell, and I could see Elaya to the side with her hands outstretched, breathing hard.

Either way, the Fey who had hoped to use hostages to hide behind knew that they weren’t effective. They started scrambling back, nearly entering the same crater dungeon entrance they had trapped the others in a short while earlier.

“Y-you…” Kaia spat. “You’d even let your die. Are you a monster?”

I started to walk forward, but a flicker in Kaia’s eyes caused me to turn just as a small form leaped out of a hidden spot and stabbed me in the leg. I grabbed her with one hand and pulled the knife out with the other. The Inquisitor looked up at me triumphantly even as I held her in place.

“Malacrum doesn’t work on me as it works on children.” I snorted, but then my heartfelt an intense pain.

I put the knife to her, and her triumphant expression turned to fear as she saw my leg heal and the infection not take hold.

“N-no…” She gasped.

“What about you?” I asked as her eyes watched the blade with extreme fear.

“P-please… spare me.”

“Spare?” I asked, throwing the dagger in my soul world and giving her a few seconds of relief before I picked her up by her arm. “I prefer a split!”

The inquisitor let out a bloodcurdling scream as I tore her arm off. As blood spurted from her open stump, she collapsed to the ground, trying to scramble away in terror. I reached down and grabbed her, before picking her up and throwing her into the crowd behind the barricade. I realized her hand was still clinging to my arm, I pulled it off and then set it on fire before throwing it away.

“You… you’re not a monster. You’re a demon.” Kaia accused. “You’re a demon king!”

“I am…” I smirked. “Now it’s time to bring you to hell!”
