Chapter Twenty-One

Halia watched on. The human paladin and the monster girls had stopped their romp as they watched the dragoness crying on Lord Leo’s chest. He stroked her back until her tears passed. Then Isatu sat up, looking around.

“I’m not alone at all,” she said. “There are all of you.” Her wings stretched wide as she sat impaled on Leo’s cock. “Hello, I am Isatu.”

“You truly have claimed a dragon,” Halia said, a smile on her lips.

“That’s so awesome, big bro!” Garnet cheered. “Kweh, heh, heh, now we are unstoppable. We shall conquer the world!”

“Garnet,” groaned Leo, shaking his head at his little sister’s antics.

“Then I need more power,” said Isatu. “To regain my form. I do not want to sleep for centuries to regain the power. Not if you need me now.” She rubbed at Leo’s chest. “I can feel the power in you. Give it to me, and I shall regain my glory.”

“I can feel it’s true,” said Leo, glancing at Fara. “That if I want to restore her to her size, then I have to sacrifice one of the Mana Veins that travels through my dungeon. There are words in my soul that I can speak.”

Worry rippled through Halia. “This is one of the reasons dungeon builders are feared. The sacrifice of mana. It’s not just that you horde it, but that you can destroy it. The priests say it shall lead to the world’s collapse.”

“That is the consensus in the scholarly world,” said Fara. “Though Mana Veins are a hard subject to study since they only flow through the earth. The loss of Mana in the world could have dire consequences if it continues. Some think that is the point of the dungeon builders. They are brought here to slowly use up the world’s supply of Mana and leave us barren.”

“No,” said Leo. “That’s not why we’re here.”

“So you’re not going to make me big?” asked Isatu.

“If I make you big, how can I do this?” he asked and slid his hands up to grab her breasts.

Halia swallowed. She had not really considered that Leo could destroy Mana Veins. Damming up the power was thought to be bad, but at least the power wasn’t being consumed. Making Isatu regain her former size would be a crime against the world.

For now, Leo wasn’t doing it. He was playing with her, but what if he needed her power. What if Fuegin attacks? How can Leo defend himself against that monster?

Leo might trust Fuegin, but Halia never would. Her father had died at the monster’s hands. The cities of Nyias and Kelias had been destroyed by Fuegin. So many had died. He ruled his lands to the west with iron control.

And he had some scheme with Leo in mind.

Halia had to be vigilant and make sure that Leo kept being an ally to this world and didn’t succumb to being an enemy. So long as he was guided by those who cared for him, she had nothing to fear. But the stresses placed on a dungeon builder could break any man.

Would he survive?

“Creampie!” squealed Garnet, her red, leathery wings flapping! “Creampie! Creampie! Creampie!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone looked at Garnet as she thrust her hand into the air with such enthusiasm. She wanted to just fall to her knees and eat some dragon pussy. It would be such a delicious treat full of her big brother’s cum. She would go to town on her.

“What?” Garnet asked, looking around in confusion. “Why are you all looking at me like that.” She lowered her arm, feeling self-conscious. Then she put her hands on her hips in defiance. “Kweh, heh, heh, I am going to eat the dragon-puppy’s pussy and lick up all of my big bro’s cum!”

Leo rolled his eyes. “Isatu, she’s going to be a brat unless you get off my cock and let her eat your pussy.”

“I greatly enjoyed it when you licked my pussy, Lord Leo,” Isatu said. She stretched out her wings. They were red and leathery like Garnet’s, but Isatu’s hue was more like flame and the succubus’s were more like passion. The crimson of love and sex and climaxes.

The dragon-puppy rose up Leo’s cock. Her tail sliced back and forth. This wicked and eager delight built in Garnet. It was so exciting. She smacked her lips, so ready to eat so yummy pussy. She would make the dragon-puppy cum so hard. Isatu would gasp and moan and cry out with ecstasy.

And the cum.

All her big brother’s yummy cum would be hers!

Garnet would drink down that incestuous seed that brimmed in Isatu’s pussy. She would give it to Garnet. All her cum are belong to me! thought the succubus, remembering that old meme.

Isatu sank onto her back and spread her scaly thighs. Her pussy lips spread to show off her pink depths swimming with the liquid that Garnet loved most in this world: her big brother’s cum. Smacking her lips, her tail swishing behind her, she darted forward and fell to her knees.

The leather of her thigh-high boots creaked as she bent over. She spread her wings wide and slid her pale hands up the dragon-puppy’s pebbly, red-scaled thighs. Garnet went higher and higher, her tongue licking over her lips.

Then she pressed her head into Isatu’s cunt and licked at her. She lapped at her cunt with hunger. She caressed those naughty folds, loving the taste of smoky pussy and salty cum. A shudder ran through the succubus. This is so good!

Her tail swished back and forth as she feasted on the creampie, eating all the naughty cum leaking out of the dragon-puppy’s cunt. Garnet thrust her tongue into Isatu’s pussy, scooping out more and more of the spunk.

“Oh, my,” groaned Isatu. “Oh, Garnet, that feels so different from Lord Leo’s mouth.”

“Of course it does!” moaned Garnet. “My big bro is a man! A big, hunky, virile man. I’m a cute and dainty and adorable succubus! We’re as different as night and day.” She licked the dragon-puppy’s cunt. “And why aren’t you fucking me, big bro?”

Garnet glanced over and saw why. Mrs. Lucina had straddled Leo and worked her angelic cunt up and down his cock. Her white-feathered wings flapped as she worked her cunt up and down his dick. He groaned, his face twisting in delight.

“Oh!” Garnet puffed her cheeks in annoyance. “Fine. I’ll just eat out her pussy without your wonderful cock in my cunt.”

“Sounds good,” Leo said and flashed her a thumbs up.

She squealed in annoyance and buried her face back into Isatu’s pussy. The kinky succubus licked up the cum and pussy cream, her own pussy getting wetter and wetter. Then she groaned as warm hands grabbed her butt-cheeks. They tingled with an electric delight.

Sviesos had taken pity on Garnet. A moment later, her wonderful lips were licking at the little succubus’s tight pussy. Pleasure rippled through Garnet. Such delight shot through her. She thrust her tongue deep into Isatu’s pussy. She licked and lapped at her. Her tongue fluttered up and down, caressing her with hunger. Just licking and lapping at her, wanting to make her explode. She ached to have the naughty dragon-puppy drown her.

“Oh, Garnet!” Isatu moaned, her big tits jiggling. She grabbed her pink nipples and twisted them. “Yes!”

“Just enjoy, dragon-puppy!” moaned Garnet, her pussy drinking in the staticy tongue lapping at her folds.

“Mmm, and you, too, Garnet,” purred Sviesos.

The will o’ wisp licked her tongue up and down the succubus’s cunt. The stimulation rippled through Garnet. She grabbed Isatu’s scaly rump, squeezing those butt-cheeks. As she did, the naughty succubus plunged her tongue deep into the dragon-puppy’s cunt, swirling around and scooping out more cum.

It was always a treat to the naughty succubus to find her big brother’s cum in Isatu’s pussy. The smoky juices enhanced the salty flavor of Leo’s taboo jizz. The little succubus feasted with enthusiasm, plunging in over and over to find all her big brother’s cum.

But it was running out.

She had gorged on it, and now there was less and less for her to find.

But that didn’t stop this naughty succubus. She sealed her lips around the dragon-puppy’s cunt and suckled hard. Isatu gasped, pinching both her nipples and arching her back. From the depths of her smoky pussy flowed the last of Leo’s cum.

Garnet savored that salty delight spilling over her tongue and soaking her taste buds. She shuddered, her pussy clenching around Sviesos’s own probing tongue. The succubus rose towards her orgasm as she nursed one last time.

“There!” she proudly declared. “All clean! Now let’s make you cum, dragon-puppy!”

“Yes, Garnet!” moaned Isatu.

The succubus sucked on Isatu’s clit, nursing on her bud with hunger. At the same time, the wicked, little succubus thrust her thumb into Isatu’s butt-crack and found her asshole. She jammed her thumb in hard. She buried her thumb to the hilt in Isatu’s bowels and loved the way her velvety sheath clung to her fat digit.

The dragon-puppy gasped. Her back arched and her boobs jiggled. She tossed her head, her cute, little horns wiggling as she furrowed and relaxed her brow. Then she squeezed her thighs tight around Garnet’s face.

“Yes!” Isatu moaned.

Her pussy juices gushed out. A smoky tide of delight.

Garnet feasted on the dragon-puppy’s cream while her own cunt hurtled closer and closer to cumming. Sviesos kneaded the naughty succubus’s rump and licked and lapped at her cunt. The will o’ wisp’s tongue found the succubus’s clit.

Sviesos licked the bud. Suckled on it. Garnet’s tail swished and wings flapped. She groaned into Isatu’s cumming pussy. The succubus licked up the cream as her orgasm swelled and swelled. She hurtled towards her climax.

“So good!” Isatu moaned. “I love cumming. I love it so much!”

“It’s awesome!” Garnet shouted, on the verge of hers. She just needed those tingly lips sucking on her clit. It was amazing to feel. Her entire body trembled. “I’m going to—”

“Leo,” Lana Fulmine’s voice rang out through Garnet’s head, “the dungeon’s under attack.”

“What?” Leo gasped.

Garnet shuddered. Sviesos stopped sucking on the succubus’s clit, leaving her on the brink of her climax. She glanced over at her big bro lying on his back with Mrs. Lucina impaled on his cock. He sat up.

“Who’s attacking?” Leo asked.

“It seems to be one man,” Lana Fulmine answered. “The basilisks and werebears in the entrance hall are engaging.”

“I am coordinating the defenses of the labyrinth, Lord Leo,” Smerta’s voice came in. “We’re going to hit him hard.”

Leo winced. “We just lost Skamianiela and Panja. We’re on our way!”

Chapter Twenty-Two

Crystal smiled at the sight of her dryad-mother on the bed. The ice sprite licked her lips as she leaned her head down and latched onto a nipple. She suckled on the brown nub and savored the motherly milk flowing into her frozen body.

The warmth of it seared the roof of Crystal’s mouth in such an exciting way. She shuddered, loving it. Her pussy clenched. She wiggled her ass, the mattress dimpling beneath her knees. The bed shifted as Terra moved closer.

The tip of the golem’s clit-dildo pressed into Crystal’s pussy lips. Pleasure shot through the ice sprite. Even the golem’s flesh felt so wonderfully warm. The temperatures should melt Crystal’s frozen body, but magic was at work here.

This world is amazing.

The clit-dildo thrust into Crystal’s cunt. She moaned around her mother’s nipple. She suckled hard, more of that molten milk flooding her mouth. The ice sprite moaned in delight at the creamy sweetness of it, her pussy clenching hard on the clay dildo fucking her pussy.

“Oh, that’s so good,” Terra moaned as she pumped away at the ice sprite’s cunt. “That’s just amazing. Yes, yes, Crystal.”

“Mmm, fuck my daughter,” the dryad moaned. Crystal’s mother shuddered, her hot finger caressing Crystal’s icy flesh. “Just pound her hard. Ooh, she’s drinking all my—”

The intruder alarm blared through the dungeon. Terra froze in her plunge while Crystal’s mother gasped and released the ice sprite’s head. With a mouth full of her mother’s milk, Crystal popped her lips off the nub, swallowed, and groaned.

“Really?” asked Crystal. “With Leo out of the dungeon?”

“We have to get to the throne room,” said Terra, ripping her clit-dildo out of Crystal’s asshole.

“Yeah, yeah,” Crystal said. “More dumb adventurers come to get themselves killed.”

A pained expression crossed the woody face of Garnet’s mother. “More of them are going to die. It’s such a waste. We’re their friends.”

Ooh, I want to find them and kill them. It was just starting to feel good.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lana Fulmine’s stomach trembled as she reached the throne room. While it was heartening that Leo was on the way and that Smerta was coordinating the initial defense, the lightning sprite was still the one in charge of the dungeon.

It was her first time having to lead the dungeon during an attack in Leo’s absence. Her wings of glowing plasma fluttered as she entered the throne room. She reached the map of the dungeon and saw it focused on the front floor.

She glanced at the dungeon map and saw that the intruder, his dot in red, had already cut through the entrance hall. Bhaaloo, Panja, Skamianiela, and Vielmi were already dead. Four Level 2 monster girls killed by one man.

“What are we dealing with?” gasped Lana to Smerta and Feya. She could see them on the map in their forward command post. They would be communicating with the monster girls in the labyrinth on their own telepathic band.

“We’re not sure,” Feya answered. “Something about shadows or darkness. He cut through the four of them in moments. They hardly had a chance to do anything.

Crystal, Mrs. Baldwin, and Terra entered the throne room and joined Lana. Then Baaghi came in, abandoning her guard room. With both Usiku and Paanee with Leo on his exploration of the new dungeon, there was no point in having her alone in there.

What if Leo hadn’t taken away Daant and Piaro, thought Lana. There would have been three werebears and three basilisks in the entrance room. Would they have held then?

“Satyrs and oozes, regroup on me,” Smerta broadcasted, including Lana in it. “We’re going to hit him all at once.”

A chorus of yes echoed in Lana’s mind as she watched the red dot move into the first labyrinth. Traps flashed as they were triggered one after the other. Arrow traps. Pit traps. Lightning traps. None of them slowed down the dot.

What are you? Lana thought.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mrs. Zoe Baldwin worried for the satyrs as they moved to join the oozes, Smerta, and Feya in the forward command post. The satyrs were such gentle and loving monster girls. They were playful like Mrs. Baldwin’s youngest daughter.

The dryad wanted all the satyrs, and the other monster girls, to stay unharmed. She had died before. Though resting in the Void Crystal was soothing, there was pain. This was such unnecessary suffering that would be inflicted.

Smerta set up her ambush. She moved out, the monster girls all represented by blue dots. Mrs. Baldwin rubbed her hands together, standing by her oldest daughter. A chill bled from the ice sprite as she watched the map.

The red dot was moving to the ambush spot. All the satyrs, oozes, Smerta, and Feya were in position. They would swarm the enemy at a corridor that had an arrow trap set to hit the intruder. It was a good idea. Smerta was an amazing fighter, a wrestler in the real world, and Feya had her wand and magic.

“Where is he?” Feya asked.

“Corridor 7B just past the third junction. He’ll be on you in half a minute,” Baaghi sent. Her whiskers twitched, and her striped tail flicked back and forth.

“Get ready,” Smerta shouted through the link. “Get ready to hit him when he hits the fourth junction. Baaghi, you give the order.”

“I will,” the rakshasa said, studying the red dot. She licked her lips while Mrs. Baldwin’s guts twisted.

“You have this, Smerta!” Leo shouted. “We’re coming as fast as we can!”

The red dot reached junction four.

The dots for the three oozes appeared and fell around him as they came out of the holes in the ceiling. The satyrs charged in from three directions, Smerta leading one group. Feya held back to support with her magic.

The blues converged on the red.

It was chaotic for a moment, so many dots overlapping. Terra zoomed in on the fight, showing all the dots more clearly. The red was in the middle, moving in quick darts. Monster girls were dying. Cikhala and Philtara’s dots winked out, the oozes killed. Then the satyrs started dying.

“No,” groaned Mrs. Baldwin as Doodh and Seeng vanished. Then Bakara winked out. The red dot charged and Ullo’s vanished.

“Retreat!” Smerta called, her dot meeting the red. “I can’t hold him. Feya, fall back to the second labyrinth. Rally the unicorns and—”

Smerta’s dot winked out.

“No,” gasped Mrs. Baldwin.

“Shit,” Crystal cursed while Baaghi growled with fury.

Lana fluttered her wings and shook her head, her silvery brow furrowed. Lightning crackled between the golden strands of her hair. Terra zoomed out the map. Three blue dots fled from the red. The satyr Khur, Cikata the ooze, and Feya.

The only survivors of the first labyrinth.

Chapter Twenty-One

“How is this one man?” I demanded as I ran through the ruins of Meskalamdug’s labyrinth, following the way we had marked. A ball of light floated before us. Isatu was right on my heels, the rest of my monster girls, Halia, and Fara right behind us.

“He’s like a living shadow, Lord Leo!” Khur shouted.

“He flowed like liquid darkness,” Feya added. “He kills so fast!”

“Fuck!”

I ran as fast as I could, taking the turns. Then Marwo, Ci, and Gwyllt darted past me. My three wildhounds scampered at the lead, guiding us through the maze. They didn’t have to think about which way to go.

But we were deep into this dungeon. And we still had to rise up the ascent and rush through my dungeon. Fears squeezed about my chest as I ran naked through the dungeon, abandoning my armor and robes, just holding my spear in hand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“He’s at the lightning room,” Terra found herself saying. She knew the others could see it, but the golem couldn’t help herself. Fear gripped her. She remembered the desperate fight with the dwarves, Led, Smerta, and Feya right after being summoned.

That had been a force and they had taken causalities, but they had a chance. This shadowy man had cut through Smerta with ease. Smerta!

“He’ll get through it,” Baaghi growled as the red dot entered the room full of pillars that would shoot him with lightning. They flashed on the map as they activated it.

“We should go and fight,” Crystal said.

“Defense in depth,” said Baaghi. “The labyrinth tunnels are narrow. The monster girls are chosen for their areas for a reason to maximize them. It’s still one man. He’ll be weakened. He’s being hit by the pillars.”

“And destroying them,” muttered Crystal. The pillars winked out one by one.

“This is a battle of attrition,” said Baaghi. “We’re the last line of defense. We’re here to make him spend as much time as possible getting through our defenses to buy time for Lord Leo to arrive.”

“He’s almost to the second labyrinth, Feya,” Terra sent.

The golem’s eyes flicked to the force that was assembling to hit the shadowy man in the second labyrinth. Feya had rallied all the defenders. The four arachnes (Damhanalla, Sreaga, Gaiste, and Greasai), the last two werebears (Garjan and Maan), the last two basilisks (Mastab and Dychannie) along with the unicorns (Rih, Sriblo, Nezaymana, and Chystota) who had been pulled out of the Overgrown Room.

Smerta’s last orders.

“They’re a stronger force of monster girls,” said Lana. She swallowed, more lightning arcing amid the strands of her golden hair. “All Level 2. They can overwhelm him. Feya will stop him.”

“So let’s go join them!” Crystal barked. Mist spilled off her body. “We’ll make it impossible for him to get by. We’re more powerful then Level 2 monster girls.”

“No time and it’s too many bodies as it is,” said Baaghi. “Iaidas, take your quetzalcoatl to the Flooded Bridge Room and join your sisters there.”

“You’re pulling them back to the thirdlabyrinth?” Crystal gasped. “Lana, you’re in charge!”

“They’ll be more effective in that room,” Baaghi said. “He has to raise and turn the bridge. He’ll be vulnerable in the water. They’ll be in the air hitting him with lightning while the mermaids and hippocampi attack him from below.”

“You’re already giving up on the second labyrinth?” Crystal shook her head.
“She’s not giving up,” Lana said. “She’s being prudent.” Lana took a deep breath. “We’re staying here. We’ll defend this room. Our powers will be most effective in the open.”

“Feya, he’s thirty seconds out from you,” Baaghi sent.

“I hate this,” said Crystal.

Terra nodded her agreement, watching the three blue dots of the quetzalcoatls moving through the labyrinth to the Darkness Room and the path down to the Flooded Room. Then she glanced to the red dot, her stomach tightening.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Crystal fumed.

She was so angry, she was surprised that she wasn’t melting. This was her new life. Her little brother had brought her to this new world, given her these icy powers, and she was helpless to do anything about protecting them. She had to wait here.

Just like she had to wait when Leo didn’t pick her to explore the labyrinth. He left her behind.
It was so infuriating.

The red dot reached the next ambush. The blue dots converged, Terra zooming in on the map once more. Mist spilled down Crystal’s body and spilled over the display. She stared down at the dots as they collided with the red.

Garjan and Mastab died in the first second. Cikata fell from the ceiling on the red dot. For a heartbeat, they overlapped as she tried to suffocate him. But then she vanished, too. Crystal’s teeth ground together.

“Come on,” she muttered.

“Please, please, stop him,” muttered Terra. She tapped her clay foot.

“No!” Mrs. Baldwin gasped. Crystal’s mother clasped her hand over her mouth as Chystota, Sreaga, and Rih all winked out in two heartbeats. Then the red dot had a clear path at Feya. He moved down the tunnel too fast. It wasn’t a sprint.

Feya’s dot winked out.

“Come on!” groaned Crystal. “We should be down there! He’s murdering them all.”

“We hold!” Lana hissed, her wings thrusting wide. Lightning crackled around her.

Greasai fell next. Then Damhanalla. Nezaymana rushed in and vanished. The red dot brushed Gaiste’s and she was gone. The others fell fast. Sriblo, Dychannie, Khur, and last fell Maan the werebear.

“Not even a minute!” Crystal shouted, her rage burning through her. Mist fell in thick waves down her body. “This is a massacre. We need to get down there. Support the next attack.”

“No!” Baaghi shouted. She pointed to the map. “He has to figure out the second labyrinth, find the Darkness Room, and survive the will o’ wisps. They have the best chance of killing him. And if not, this buys Leo more time.”

Crystal knew that and didn’t care. This was the worst. She couldn’t do anything but pace and fume and yell. This couldn’t be how it ended. How this wonderful, new life would snuff out. She had finally overcome her own shame at her attraction to her little brother.

Here, she could tease him and dominate him and then be fucked hard by him.

And it was all falling to pieces.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is insane, Lana Fulmine thought as she watched the red dot near the Darkness Room. A single bridge across a deep chasm with will o’ wisps firing lightning blasts at him. It’s just one creature!

“What is he?” Terra asked as the dot moved down the final stretch of hallway.

“Fara or Halia would know,” muttered Mrs. Baldwin.

“Hurry, Leo,” Lana called “We’re barely clinging on here.”

“We’re coming! Just hold on! I believe in you all!”

Crystal let out an angry hiss.

“Orcs and yuki-onna, be ready for your ambush,” Baaghi sent. “I want you to hit him when he makes it through the Darkness Room.”

I should be giving those orders, Lana thought. This was too much for her. She was a movie star. When things got rough, she got high. She had had no craving for her drugs since coming here, no longer addicted to them, but that didn’t mean she was strong. She was a weak creature. Why did you leave me in charge?

The red dot entered the Darkness Room.

He moved across the bridge too fast. There was no hesitation. He should be unable to see. The lightning would strike him from both sides, pummeling him if it didn’t just kill him. It was a narrow bridge and a deep fall. He would not survive. If he did, how could he get back out?

“He’s dodging our attacks!” Svyte, one of the will o’ wisps sent. She and her sisters lined the edges of the room.

Gintaras winked out.

“How did he kill Gintaras?” gasped Terra even as Dvasia vanished.

“He threw his sword,” Svyte cried. “He’s at the door. He just hacked through it.”

“Get ready, orcs and yuki-onna!” Baaghi growled.

Please, please, we need you, Leo.

“FOR LORD LEO!” the four orcs shouted as the red dot neared the ambush point.

“Hold him!” Slepkavi suddenly shouted. She was the orc who had gone with Leo. Her voice snapped with command. “We’re on the first floor. We’re coming!”

Lana shifted the map. Her heart lurched. There, moving through the first floor, was a white dot. Behind him came six blue dots, three gold dots, and two green dots. Those were Halia and Fara. The gold dots were companions like Lana herself.

Leo was the white. The only one that would ever be found in the dungeon.

He was here. Hope surged in Lana.

Chapter Twenty-Four

“We can’t hold,” shouted Zobens, the first orc I had made. “He’s spotted us. FOR LORD LEO!”

“FOR LORD LEO!” the others roared in my mind.

I ran through the labyrinth in a full suit of armor summoned by Metalcoat. Static Aura crackled about my body, Revitalize suffused me with greater energy, Strength of Mountain gave me immense strength, and Granite Flesh made my flesh as hard as stone. I had every buff I thought I could use.

Then the next round of dying began.

Orka died first. I felt her vanishing.

“Fuck!” I snarled, racing through the labyrinth as fast as we could. The others were right behind me.

Snezhinka perished. The yuki-onna snuffed out by this monster that had invaded my dungeon. How could this be the work of one man? Moroz, Dzelzs, and Briesmoni died. He was cutting through my orcs and yuki-onna.

“KILL HIM!” Zobens shouted. “NO FEAR! FOR LORD LEO!”

“No,” I groaned as Belyy and Sukkub died.

That left only Zobens in the fight. The rest of the orcs and all the yuki-onna dead. My forces were getting so horribly reduced. I burst through the lightning trap room, racing past the ruined pillars towards the door that had been cut down.

“I hurt him!” Zobens cried out in my mind, such joy in her voice.

And then she died.

I roared my fury. I would murder this thing. I would kill it. Extinguish it. Whatever it was, it would not survive the day. I had come too far, learned too much, to let it end. I would not let my family perish. We were surviving today.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lana Fulmine fretted.

Leo was in the dungeon, but the attacker was almost to the Flooded Bridge Room. He would have to swim into the waters, raise the bridge, and turn it. All the quetzalcoatl, mermaids, and hippocampi would be there.

He would have to enter their element.

Please, please, stop him, She prayed. She didn’t know to who. Lana couldn’t remember the last time she had been in church. Not since she was a kid.

Lana Fulmine didn’t want Leo to get anywhere near this monster. The more monster girls he killed, the more it scared her that Leo would perish if he faced this monster. The other deaths didn’t matter. Even if Lana herself died, that would be a price worth paying to stop this creature.

She could come back to life.

The monster who had invaded the dungeon reached the Flooded Bridge Room. If he wasn’t stopped here, Crystal would get her chance to fight. He would reach the throne soon. Unless he couldn’t figure out that there was a concealed door and that he had to swivel the bridge. Leo didn’t use any other hidden doors in the dungeon.

He didn’t want his enemies to figure out it was something he did. This was his best plan of trickery. If they could get this far, they were a dangerous group. He would rather have them enter the false labyrinth and deal with more traps.

The red dot burst into the room. Here he paused. The quetzalcoatls converged in to attack from the air while the mermaids and hippocampi were ready to pounce if the shadowy man jumped into the water. Lana rubbed her hands together.

Please, please drown him, she prayed. Stop him.

The dot moved. It was a two-dimensional map, so it was impossible to say what elevation he was, but he must be in the water. The quetzalcoatl circled while the mermaids and hippocampi surged in to attack.

Hope rose in Lana. Surely in the water, he would be at such a disadvantage, the mermaids and hippocampi could drown him. He had to be able to breathe. Almost everything breathed. Not Terra nor Hagane. But this monster had to breathe.

Skela’s dot vanished.

“Just one,” whispered Lana. Only a mermaid. Not a—

Kelpa the Hippocampus winked out.

Terra groaned.

“Fuck!” snarled Crystal.

Only three blue dots remained in the water. They could do this. Lana’s wings trembled. They had to stop him here. This madness had to end.

But Pani, Mase, and then Ghoda all died. The waters were clear. Nothing to stop him from raising the bridge. He moved to the middle of the room where the activation switch lay. Lana trembled, fear rippling through her.

“The bridge is up,” Gyvate reported. “And he’s rotated it. He knows about the door. We’ll try to hurt him!”

The circling dots converged. They would be over the shadowy form. He marched towards the door, moving at it. Lana imagined the flying serpent-girls firing their lightning from their eyes while their rainbow hair flowed behind them.

Gyvate perished first. Followed by Iaidas, Skale, Vaivory, and Sparnas. The red dot reached the door and breached it. All that stood between him and the throne room were a series of trivial traps that would only slow him down.

“Get ready,” Baaghi growled. “Fan out. Mrs. Baldwin, restrain him with your roots. Lana, support us from the air.”

Lana nodded, flapped her wings, and rose. Terra shaped her fist into a battering hammer while Crystal formed shards of ice that she could throw. They spanned out, Baaghi falling in a crouch. The dot moved down the hallway and reached the guard room where Usiku, Paanee, and Baaghi lived.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I burst into the darkness room, able to see because it was my dungeon. The will o’ wisps had thrown out their ropes with grappling hooks and left their alcoves, shimmying over the bridge. It took them time, but Zaibas, Svyte, and Kibir fell in behind me.

“He’s at the throne room!” Lana shouted as I burst into the second labyrinth.

“Just hold!” I cried, fear beating through my chest as I ran the most direct path to get to the throne room. “We’re almost there!”

Chapter Twenty-Five

Leo’s words echoed through my mind. Almost there…

The door to the throne room burst open and the thing represented by the red dot entered. Flying above the others, Lana had her first glimpse of him.

It was a man with black hair and a grizzled face. Black blood dripped from a cut across his forehead and ran down his right cheek. He had a burned scar across the left side of his face, the skin puckered and raw.

And that wasn’t the only thing wrong with his skin. It was gray. Like ash. Almost as if shadows had poisoned him. He wore black armor, heavy plate that clad him from neck to foot. Gouges, scrapes, and rents marred it. It had weathered the damage of an army of monster girls. In his hand, he held an inky sword that bled darkness, but it wasn’t a straight sword. It was malformed. Bent in strange ways.

Mrs. Baldwin’s roots surged in at him as Lana gathered her lightning and unleashed it. The arcs of white-blue plasma fired from her wings and shot down at the man. A void ripped open before him. A tear in reality that led to pure darkness. It swallowed her blast of electricity.

“What?” Lana gasped.

A heartbeat later, the lightning fired back out of the void at Crystal. The ice sprite dove to the side, the electricity blast arcing through the mist she left behind. She rolled and threw her ice daggers. They hissed through the air.

Only for the void to swallow them.

Baaghi charged in, the rakshasa’s striped body almost a blur. A feline roar exploded from her lips. The shadowy man slashed his deformed blade. An arc of shadow hissed out at Baaghi. She leaped over it with the nimble grace of a catgirl. She landed while the dark blade slashed through Leo’s throne, cutting it in half.

Lana’s wings crackled with lightning. They had to stop him. Leo believed in her. She would not let down her number one fan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Crystal threw another ice dagger at the shadowy figure as lightning crackled down. The void swallowed the electricity attack and spat it out at Mrs. Baldwin. Crystal’s mother gasped and barely dodged it, her roots, creeping at the intruder, snapping from the motion. The broken ends vanished.

“Damn it!” Crystal hissed and formed an ice dagger in her hand.

All her fury transformed into an icy blizzard in her. She rushed at the enemy just as Baaghi bounced. The rakshasa hurtled in at the shadowy knight. His blade flicked out before him and cut Baaghi in half.

She barely screamed out her pain before she vanished into motes that sprayed over the enemy.

Crystal reached the enemy, hissing her fury. Mist spilled off of her body as she stabbed her dagger at his neck. He moved in a blur, leaving behind a streak of darkness. Then something hot slammed through Crystal’s guts.

She looked down to see his sword had buried into her frozen guts. The ice sprite gasped in pain and then she vanished into a burst of motes. Her soul flowed to the darkness of the Void Crystal to slumber in the arms of Souleen.

Will I ever wake up? floated through Crystal’s mind before she fell into her dreams.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“NOOOOO!” screamed Mrs. Baldwin. “That’s my daughter!”

Fury shot through the dryad at the death of her eldest daughter. She rose from her tumble and sent her roots growing fast across the floor. More lightning shot down while Terra rushed in to hit him with her hammer fist. Already, their defense had been cut nearly in half. She had to stop this.

Her roots seized the shadowy knight’s armored feet. As he drew back to slash at Terra, Mrs. Baldwin yanked hard on her tendrils with all her rage. The loving satyrs and motherly werebears had died. All the other monster girls had perished. Now her daughter!

The man crashed to the ground in a clatter of metal.

He snapped his gaze to her and then slashed his weapon. She grew her vines up his body as death hurtled at her. She snapped her roots and turned to dodge, but it was too late. She wasn’t a warrior. Didn’t have the reaction speed.

Lana swooped down and snagged her.

The shadow cut beneath Mrs. Baldwin and hit the wall. Lana’s wings crackled as she carried them up into the vaulted ceiling of the throne room. The man snarled and shadows chased them. Blades of darkness flashed up at them. Lana banked and turned and swooped to avoid them.

“Drop me!” Mrs. Baldwin shouted. “You can’t dodge these forever carrying me.”

“He’ll kill you!” Lana shouted.

“I know!” The dryad squirmed hard, breaking out of Lana’s grasp. She fell twenty feet and landed in a crouch, breasts bouncing.

She turned to see Terra slamming her hammer fist into a raised arm, doing nothing to the armor. The knight slashed his blade at Mrs. Baldwin, his eyes intent on her. She dodged it to the right, rolling and darting into a spring.

Lightning arc down only to be swallowed by that rip in space. Mrs. Baldwin changed direction, knowing where the lightning blast would fire. It shot at her, but she was already moving to get clear. She ran two steps only to realize her mistake.

He had anticipated her dodge and slashed his sword to strike her where she had turned. The shadow cut her body in half. She hardly felt the pain. Something cold washed through her body and then she felt herself falling to the ground. She hit and then…

Fell into the dream.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I jumped into the water of the flooded bridge room and swam to it. The bridge lay just above the water level with a spot to climb up in the middle. Behind me, monster girls jumped into the water. Garnet, Isatu, and Mrs. Lucina soared overhead and landed on the bridge. Garnet fell to her knees, thrusting out her hand to me.

I swam with power, Strength of the Mountain giving me the prowess to swim in the heavy plate. I reached the bridge and climbed up, Garnet helping me. Isatu watched on with worry on her face while Mrs. Lucina stared at the concealed door that had been burst open. A corridor lay beyond, pit traps triggered, arrows lying broken on the ground.

My mother died.

“Fuck!” I growled. Only Lana and Terra were left. “Almost there!” I shouted as I ran dripping wet down the bridge. “Just hold for one more minute! Lana, Terra, one minute!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One minute…

Lana didn’t know how she could do that. Terra swung her hammer-fist at the enemy. Now that Mrs. Baldwin was dead, the enemy just turned and slashed his sword. Terra jumped back, the blade missing her, but not the arc of darkness that shot out. It slashed through her chest. She blinked in shock before she fell apart, vanishing before she reached the floor.

It was all on Lana Fulmine.

She soared through the throne room, lightning bursting from her wings and arcing down at him. She twisted and dodged. Arcs of shadow hurtled up at her, nearly clipping her wings. She couldn’t stay predictable. She had to keep moving.

How is Leo defeating this monster?

She didn’t see how much longer she could keep this up. How she could stop this bastard? She fired another blast of lightning from her wings. The static discharge shot down at the shadowy man. He ripped open a void and caught it. She twisted and banked. Lightning fired out before her. She dove down. A blade of shadow hissed over her.

Please, please, please, get here, Lord Leo, she thought.

She soared through the throne room, doing all she could to stay alive. Twists. Turns. She danced in the air. She climbed to the vaulted ceiling. She skimmed over the ground. He tracked her, firing blades of shadow at her.

He could be hurt. She knew that. The orcs had done it. She just had to find a way to distract him. But her lightning couldn’t be fired rapidly. The static electricity took several seconds to build up to another discharge. She couldn’t rapid-fire it.

Could she trick him?

She soared at him. He slashed his sword. She twisted past the shadow blade. Her wings crackled. She flared them to fire. His void ripped open. But she didn’t discharge. She held that energy dancing over the plasma wing bones. She banked hard right and then fired to shoot past his rift.

He dove to the side. Her lightning struck the ground. Sparks flared. He came up at her and slashed her sword. She immediately dodged to the right as she saw his blade start to fall.

Only it didn’t complete the swing. It was a feint. A heartbeat later, he slashed his weapon, changing where the blade of shadow went. Just as she had tricked him, he used it on her. She couldn’t dodge it, her momentum slowed by her sudden change of direction.

Death hurtled at her.

Leo burst into the throne room, his silver spear in hand, his armored body dripping wet, his skin like granite. He had come for the fight.

The shadow blade struck Lana Fulmine.

Sorry, was the last thing she thought before her soul was claimed by Souleen. In the Void Crystal, Lana Fulmine slumbered with so many other monster girls. In the depths of her heart, she felt only despair.

How could Leo win against this monster?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The blade of night struck Lana Fulmine just as I burst into my throne room with the last of my monster girls. It was such a small force compared to what had just been destroyed by this one man. This shadow bastard who stood before me. Rage burst in me.

A new spell blazed in my mind. The words to Fireburst whispered through my thoughts.

“Fire explodes, let the rage of Lord Gibil erupt!”

The fire exploded where the man stood. And I mean stood. He jumped out of the way just as the flames erupted. He came up in a crouch facing me. He rose to his full height, a terrifying figure dripping in shadows.

“Blight on the World,” he snarled, leveling his sword at me, “the Gods of Darkness have sent me to slay you!”

“Really?” I snarled. “The thick night falls, let the enmity of Lord Zuen smother!”

Shadows engulfed the figure. A crushing, choking darkness that would smother any who engulfed. He didn’t have a chance to dodge it. I stared at it, gripping my spear in my hand, staring at him. There was no way it could be this easy, but I hoped.

I fucking prayed.

The figure stepped out of them. “Really,” he said, a mocking smile on his lips. “Can you survive their power?”

He raised his sword

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Father!” Halia Vobria shouted in shock. She moved up beside Leo, staring at the shadowy form. There was no mistaking her father’s visage. That man whom she had last seen heading off to Fuegin’s dungeon when she was a girl. Strong and loving. It was him, but there was something twisted about him. “How are you alive?”

He glanced at her. Then at the sword that hummed in her hand. “You have my sword. Are you with him, daughter?”

She hesitated for a moment. Her father had been the greatest adventurer of his generation. He had slain Argian the White and Thunder Hammer Gludhug before his death in Fuegin’s dungeon. Now he stood before her to kill another dungeon builder.

Her dungeon builder.

“I am, Father,” she answered with a resolve that surprised her. “He’s not the—”

“Then die,” her father said without a hint of emotion. Of regret.

He slashed his sword upward. A blade of night rushed at her.

Halia couldn’t believe it. Such profound shock rooted her that her beloved father could ever hurt her. And yet the very attack that had just dispatched Lana Fulmine now rushed at her to cleave her in twain.

Someone crashed into Halia. The blow flung her forward. She crashed to her hands and knees, gasping. The blade of night flashed past her. She threw her gaze over her shoulder to witness Slepkavi getting cut in half by the blade.

The orc didn’t stand a chance. She just vanished into glittering motes, a smile on her green lips.

Halia’s spirit broke. Tears spilled down her cheeks from the horror that her father would murder her. It didn’t make sense. How could the man who had loved her, cared for her, cherished her whenever he had returned from his adventures be this same cold monster.

Her mind retreated from the horror, shock gripping her in its deadly talons.
