My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem

“They’re here!” I cried out, although I really didn’t need to say anything.

The way I had constructed the dungeon, it was shaped like a cone, with the bottom of the cone being where the barrier had been and ultimately where Twilight’s forces would be coming in. Each subsequent level heading up was wider and contained a greater defense. Since I was a Dungeon Master, I had awareness of everything that was going on in the dungeon. I was able to replicate a trick that Elaya used to use, and with the wave of my hand, I created an image of the entrance.

The entrance to my dungeon had been breached, and it was no a portal connecting to Twilight. This wasn’t the Infernal Hell Dungeon, but the lifestream herself had directly connected to my dungeon just like a dungeon. She wasn’t the dungeon master that had invaded my territory either. That job went to her new avatar, King Diorite. Seeing him again had shocked me for a moment, but then I realized that this was always what was going to happen. He was now completely under her control, and she would use him like a doll to attack us.

I sent a wave of skeletons down to meet the wraiths. Then, I grabbed Alysia and stood up, heading for the safe room’s teleportation array.

“Master, what are you doing?” Alysia asked worriedly.

“If we can’t stop King Diorite, we can’t stop Twilight’s advance,” I responded.

“Master, we’re not that much stronger. All of your leveling has been in Blacksmith!”

I lowered my head. “I know. He was able to defeat me before, and now he is likely even stronger. The only advantage I may have is that he’d be more susceptible to silvthril now that he is taken over by the dungeon lore. Still, we have to attempt it.

“Master, I’m coming.” Terra walked up to me.

“Terra, I need you just in case…”

“I’m Master’s guardian! I am your shield. I’m going.”

I opened my mouth and then closed it. She was right. I would have died to that squirrel if she hadn’t saved my life. I might need her again.

“Where are we going to fight him?” Alysia asked worriedly.

I’m having our forces redirect him to the first boss room. This is the room where we will battle him.”

“Which boss will he fight?” Terra asked.

“Bosses…” I responded. “The Raging Cyclops, the Apeman, and the Blood Spirit are all in that room. Two physical and one spiritual attacker. If I could move the Ember Vine without weakening the entire dungeon, I’d have him there too, but this is the best I can do.”

“That’s over half our forces…” Alysia, having been a general, could see the risk.

“Everything depends on stopping them there.” I reiterated. “If we can’t defeat King Diorite, then Twilight’s victory is assured!”

The three of us teleported down to the large stage I had built to battle King Diorite. I had tried to select an area that would be more advantageous to the bosses and less advantageous to King Diorite. This was going to decide how this all ended.

I waited as the fight continued, most of the skeletons being wiped out. I claimed and recovered the armor and weapons when I could, and used mana to create new skeletons. Eventually, King Diorite reached the first boss room. It was time for round two.
