My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem

It was Miki who put her hand on Sapphire’s head and began to work her magic. Her spirit tails flickered in and out of existence. She wasn’t doing anything particularly strenuous. There might have been a time where she would have had to summon all nine tails to do something like this, but she was far more spiritually entuned now since being Lady Death. After a few moments of prodding, Sapphire’s eyes fluttered open.

“Hmm? I… where am I? Master?” Her eyes seemed to land on me.

I immediately crouched down next to her bed. “Terra?”

“N-no… I’m Sapphire?” She reached down and grabbed her body. “I am Sapphire, right?”

I let out a breath, feeling just a bit uneasy. “Yes, you are.”

“I thought she was Garnet?” Celeste declared.

“I’m Sapphire now!” She responded defiantly.

“I see… then… Terra really is dead.”

Sapphire looked away. “I’m sorry, Master. I tried to tell you. Terra started acting weird right before we left.”

“Weird?”

“Mmm, she suddenly cornered me in a room, and then she… well…” She looked away.

“What?” I frowned.

“Sh-she kissed me!”

“Terra finally had her sexual awakening?” Celeste asked excitedly, only to get swatted on the back of the head by Miki. “Owie… I was just saying…”

“Stop talking and listen!” Miki chastised.

“She kissed you?” I frowned.

Not every girl I was with went both ways. Lydia would happily lay with any woman as long as Master was involved, and Celeste had opened her sexually. Miki was hesitant, and only Lydia could get her to play with girls. Elaya and Astria were both bisexual, while Xin was gay with me being the one exception. Salicia only loved her sister and me and had a sadomasochistic relationship with Carmine, who was disgusted by it even while participating in it. Shao would do anything I asked, but only had an interest in me. As far as I knew, Terra was straight, not liking being with other girls but tolerating it. So, why would she suddenly kiss Sapphire?

While I was considering this, Miki still had her hand on Sapphire and was concentrating. After a brief moment, she pulled away and nodded to herself.

“Master, I know what is wrong with Sapphire.”

“There is something wrong with me? I feel really weak and tired, now that you mention it.” Sapphire frowned. “Did I pass out?”

“You did… you nearly died,” I explained, before turning to Miki. “What’s wrong.”

“She’s carrying two,” Miki announced.

“I’m pregnant!” Sapphire’s drowsy appearance ended in a second.

Everyone turned to me. “Wh-what? I didn’t touch her! It’s not my baby!”

“That’s not what I mean!” Miki replied with a straight face, but a mischievous look in her eyes suggested she had intentionally worded things badly to create such a misunderstanding.

Perhaps the Miki I remembered before Lady Death was still around after all. I’d normally be happy, but at this moment I was done having my emotions played with and just wanted the truth.

“What did you mean then!” I demanded.

“She has the same illness I had, although where I grew gradually, hers is sudden.” As we all looked at her blankly, she continued. “She has too much soul power for her body! She’s dying from excessive soul energy!”

“How can that be…” Sapphire asked. “Is it… is it because I tried to merge all of my soul fragments back together?”

“No…” Miki shook her head. “It’s because your body has two souls!”

“Two souls!”

“Terra’s soul is inside you.”

“What?” I nearly jumped up.

“I can only guess, but I believe Terra used that kiss to abandon her body. She attached it to Sapphire before you left.”

“How? I saw her moving… speaking…”

“She’s a golem! You saw a golem moving, speaking… She was controlling it remotely!”

“That… clever…” My vision blurred, and I realized my eyes teared up as I thought about her.

I had a lot of things I wanted to say. I was angry, overjoyed, ecstatic, worried… Terra had pulled one over on Twilight and me! She did to herself what King Diorite did to me. He had pulled my soul out of my body and then had me control it remotely. I could still function, but my lore was only being read at a distance. She did the same thing, hiding in Sapphire while she sacrificed her body.

“Then, her body is just stuck to Sapphire, we can cut it out and I can resurrect her!”

“That will be impossible,” Miki said. “Her body was destroyed.”

“What? Her body has been destroyed before.”

“Yes, but not in this way. She’s not a human anymore. She has no human body. She instead had a connection to the golem body. That connection was destroyed when that golem died. You could say the lore of the golem’s physical body was obliterated in the explosion. That’s why she’s seemingly fallen into a slumber.”

“So, what can we do?”

“I’d need a new body… an unoccupied body to move her into,” Miki explained.

“How do we find that?”

“Master…” Sapphire spoke up. “We build it.”

“Build it?”

“You have the collective strength of the deep dwarves and the finest metals of the deep dwarf empire. We can rebuild her. We have the capability. We can make her better than she was. Stronger… Faster…”

“The six million gold golem…”

“What?”

I coughed. “Never mind. Let’s go talk to your uncle then.”

“Ah, Master, building a new body will take time,” Miki spoke up. “She’s dying now. They both are.”

“Oh!” In my excitement, I had nearly forgotten.

Just the last few hours I had been through so many emotions that my mind had turned dumb. I took a deep breath and focused. We had to protect Sapphire’s body, for both of them.

“What do we do?”

Miki looked away. “There is a solution… but only Master can do it.”

“What solution?”

“To sustain Terra’s soul, Master must inject life energy into Sapphire’s body. You must touch your soul to hers, and your soul will reinforce her soul and strengthen her body. As long as this is done regularly, then she will be fine.”

I closed my eyes. “I understand. This is for Terra and Sapphire.”

I reached down and grabbed Sapphire, picking her up.

“Eh? Huh? What’s going on?” Sapphire asked.

“Sapphire… I’m going to need to have sex with you!”

“What? Now?”

“Immediately! Don’t worry, I will be gentle.”

“Now? Now, now! I know I always tease you, but I’m just a little girl! I’m not emotionally read-”

I stopped her talking by putting a finger on her lips. “I’m sorry, but you heard Miki. This is for your life and hers. I won’t treat this casually. I’m going to fill you full of my life.”

“Ah… ah…ah…” With her mouth open, her face turning red, Sapphire had lost all ability to formulate sentences.

I carefully brought her back into my bedroom behind the boss room and closed the door.

Elaya leaned over to Miki. “You know, there are like a hundred ways you could have extended her life. That potion you used to take, your spiritualist job, even Deek has some skills that would work.”

“Hmm?” Miki looked up innocently, a fangtooth showing as she gave a grin. “Why would I ruin Master’s fun?”

Suffice it to say the mischievous fox girl was back to her old tricks.
