Chapter Fifty-Seven

“Lightning explodes, let the destruction of Lord Enlil detonate!”

Electric Detonation obliterated the monster girls rushing into my dungeon. Wai caught me in an ambush. My companions were spread out, easy pickings for a builder to shift his dungeon around and spring ambushes. He used all those Level 1’s to scout for him. Now…

I glanced at Smerta. She stood with my claimed companions, those monster girls I had accumulated from all the builders I had defeated. Paanee, Baaghi, Geista, Stute, Tuyet, Yaramaza, Jenny, and Hafmeyja. A fierce group.

“Attack,” I growled.

Smerta grinned and raised her sword. She rushed up the stairs, the other monster girls following. I rushed after them, Bellia running before me while my two mages were behind me. It was time to take the fight to Wai the Drowner. To find his dungeon and whittle his foes. My dragons were in the fight now. They were killing his forces.

I stepped out onto the battlefield and smiled. I had burned so many mana veins. I was down to 33, but it was worth it to see them, those five ancient beauties, my dragon-MILFs, swooping down on the enemy. Motes glittered in the air from their breath.

With them, the giants marched, their mammoth tits heaving as they crushed the foes on the way to fight Wai’s own giants. He didn’t have as many of them as other monster girls. I smiled as Kugkininduseg landed on the back of one giant, crashing her to the ground. She breathed a hail of stones that destroyed the monster girl.

And a horde of others on the ground.

She took to the air, roaring her triumph.

“I’m in his dungeon,” Alizee sent to my surprise. “I think he knows. Yeah, he knows!”

“I’m coming,” I roared to her and spotted a group of kappa rushing at us.

“Death slays, let the finality of Lord Nergal despoil!”

Blight withered the plants around the monster girls. They died with them, bursting into sparks. I marched with my monster girls toward the nearest opening into the dungeon. The dragons were attacking those, killing monster girls that spilled out.

Would I be able to kill Wai the Drowner today?

Probably not. His dungeon was massive. He must have extended himself so far. I would have to march my monster girls through a hundred miles or more of tunnels. So I had to first establish a beachhead.

Once I had that, I could return to my dungeon and start funneling in reinforcements. I glanced behind me.

Siwang’s tower had vanished. He had pulled back.

“I’m meeting up with Munjan,” said Siwang. “Once we’re ready, I’ll thrust my tower up and unleash our monster girls.”

I nodded. This would be a long war, but we had weathered the assault. I just had to get into the dungeon before Alizee died. If Wai closed off his dungeon permanently, he would retreat across the mountains. This would be a waste. We had to deal with him now.

He was a threat.

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

Alizee threw a wind blade, cutting the fairy’s hand off. Her wand fell to the ground, the beam of light slamming into the wall instead of the ground. The fairy gasped in shock, anger on her face. She created another wand in her right hand.

Alizee swung her arm and cut off the fairy’s head.

“Yeah!” she shouted, thrusting her arm into the air. “Team Leo for the win!”

A baku bounded out of the shadows at her.

She yelped in shock and jumped back, slashing her arms before her. One of the wind blades clipped the baku’s shoulder. She vanished into the shadows again as a carbuncle rounded the corner, her garnet glowing.

The blast struck Alizee in the stomach.

She screamed in pain. The agony consumed her. She wanted to just give in and surrender to the Void. To the peace, but Leo needed her to hang on. So she shot down the tunnel away from the threat. She zoomed past the baku as the monster girl emerged for another attack.

Alizee darted around a bend and came face to face with a naga. Acid spat at Alizee. She twisted with all her cheerleader grace. The spit hissed on her body. She shot past the naga only to have a blast of lightning from a lightning sprite shoot at her.

Squeaking in fright, the wounded Alizee dived beneath it and soared through the narrow tunnels. She took the next turn, the pain consuming her. She was dying. She couldn’t hold out much longer. Darkness started devouring the edges of her vision.

The baku jumped out of the shadows before her, goat hoofs flying at Alizee’s face.

They collided.

The hoofs shattered Alizee’s pretty face and killed her in an instant. Her last thought before the Void dragged her into sleep was, she failed. Wai would close off his dungeon. She just had to stay alive for Leo.

Sorry…

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

“She’s dead,” Pouli the Baku said.

The alarm did not end.

He glanced down at the map of his dungeon. He had moved it into his Vault.
A large group of monster girls with a builder had entered his dungeon.

Leo himself had entered the battle. He was supposed to be a risk-taker.

Wai ground his teeth. Other monster girls had entered his dungeon. He had to use the soldiers now. This was not going to end. He left behind his Void Crystal and marched out of his Vault. He walked through his throne room, a dozen giants lining the wall, there to intimidate anyone who walked into his presence.

He should have used them. Too late now. Five dragons.

Wai thought his dragon would be enough.

He left behind his throne room and stepped into the palace proper. Here, ranks of animated armors stood ready to defend the entrance to his dungeon. He moved through them. They were all perfect, feminine and polished to a gleam.

Wai stepped out to where his command staff awaited. “General Torvin, organize your men. I want the entire army marching into my dungeon. They will have two days of forced march to reach the foes.”

“Of course,” the man said, saluting. The ends of his long mustache fluttered. Wai had long since dominated him with Siren’s Call, turning him into a slave.

“I will be in my throne room. Report when it is done.”

General Torvin spun and marched out of the room to begin making the preparations. Wai turned and strode back into his dungeon. He had to return to his Vault. He walked past the giants and into his sanctum. He stared down at the map on the floor of his Vault, staring at the movements of Leo.

His force worked deeper into the dungeon, killing the last reinforcements that Wai had conjured.

This would be a long, long fight. Wai smiled. When was the last time he had faced a challenge?

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

I marched through Wai’s dungeon. Alizee had bought enough time for us to enter.

There were no traps. This was created in haste for the ambush. A network of tunnels that would lead to, presumably, one long, narrow tunnel back to Wai’s main dungeon. We had to find that, secure it, and prepare for the long fight.

I considered contacting King Thanitis and start mobilizing his army, yet… I didn’t want to have them fighting monster girls. Of course, how much of a force did Wai have by now? He must have committed the bulk of his forces.

Most were dead, unable to be revived.

“Light burns bright, let the radiance of Lord Shamash hurt!”

The light from Incandescent Burst destroyed the naga that popped out of a side passage. Smerta slashed her sword, lopping off a carbuncle’s head while Jenny and Tuyet pounced on a shesha. The last of Wai’s monster girls rushed down the tunnel at us.

“Thunder bursts, let the passion of Lord Ishkur explode!”

My next spell ripped apart a simurgh and a shade.

My monster girls were fanning out, moving down tunnels. It was a maze down here. Wai didn’t organize it well. It was hard to know which was the right one. Bjorni roared and dodged a wind blade from a sylph. She leaped up, biting the monster girl’s leg and ripping her from the sky.

“Hyoo! Hyoo!” a nue screeched, the sound slamming into my ears.

“Fractured rock,” Hagza cursed, clutching her ears.

Baaghi pounced on the nue, cutting off that awful noise with a powerful bite. A blast of lightning struck Baaghi a moment later, throwing her back. A lightning sprite’s wings crackled down the tunnel, preparing for her next blast.

Geista burst from the floor, the shade grabbing the lightning sprite’s tits and draining the life from her. The enemy burst into sparks. Sadly, a baku appeared out of the shadows and killed Geista. The Darkness monster girl vanished.

Bellia spun and swung her wooden blade at nothing. No, she swung at where the baku was about to appear. The moment the goat-like enemy appeared, Bellia’s wooden blade cut her head off. The baku had been about to leap at me.

“Lady Ianna, thank you for your warning,” Bellia prayed.

I nodded and we kept marching into the dungeon.

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

A new alarm went off. Wai shifted his map. A man had entered.

General Torvin.

Wai left his Vault. It was going badly. Leo’s force cleared out Wai’s surviving monster girls. Siwang’s dungeon had retreated. He would come back with his own reinforcements. The army was all that Wai had left. Monster girls were deadly, but they had trouble facing tens of thousands of men. The soldiers would die.

They must die.

His empire would not fall.

Could not fall.

His perfection would last for eternity.

Wai stepped into the throne room. General Torvin marched up to the builder with confidence. Wai stepped before his throne and put his arms behind his back. He stood there, ready to receive him. Not a hint of fear could be shone.

No defensive spells to give away his fear.

His giants stood motionless. Statues ready to fight for him.

“The orders are given?” Wai asked as General Torvin reached him and bowed low.

“They are,” the general said as he straightened, a dagger in his hand.

What?

The blade buried into Wai’s chest, right into his heart. He gasped as the man’s other hand clasped over his mouth. The giants roared in fury. They moved forward to crush the general, but the man did not show any fear.

He just smiled as Wai felt darkness pulling him down. His heart was destroyed.

No, he thought as death pulled him down. No, my empire!

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

The giants exploded into motes that rained down around Therodin. The illusion Lightweave Barany cast had worked, He had to follow the paladin while invisible to manipulate the illusion. A spur of the moment decision, but Therodin liked to rely on his instincts. The power rushed through him and into Barany.

The massive power of Wai the Drowner.

Skulking through the palace under Barany’s illusions had paid off. Therodin had not expected this, though. That he would get his opportunity. He had been in the room when Wai gave the orders. The general had marched out.

It was easy to kill him. Therodin was a Paladin of Earth. Once he had the disguise, he just had to march with confidence into the dungeon. A gamble, but one that paid off. This dungeon was dead. Wai the Drowner’s empire would crumble.

Therodin closed his eyes. The first of the most dangerous builders in the world had perished. Fuegin and Leo would fall next. Barany now had the power to rival them. Therodin smiled. They just had to escape the chaos of the tyrant’s fall.

He turned and marched out of the room, still wearing the disguise and Barany following invisible after him.

What a wonderful day.

Chapter Fifty-Eight

The dungeon changed.

“What?” asked Leo. He looked around. “What just happened?”

“The builder is dead,” said Hagza. She looked up in surprise. “That’s what it feels like when a builder dies. This isn’t… a dungeon any longer.”

“All the magical girls just died, Lord Leo,” Agubnamus sent. “Congratulations on killing Wai the Drowner?”

“But I didn’t kill him,” I sent.

What the fuck just happened?

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

Hagane was studying the porno on the TV, taking notes on what the woman did to the man. It did not arouse her one bit. She just had to study for the day that Leo noticed her. She couldn’t quite say why she was obsessed with him.

She just was.

It was madness. She knew that.

Knowing changed nothing. She—

Something strange happened. She felt it. A smile spread on her lips. She was awake now. She was his. Tomorrow was a school day. She would give herself to him then. She kept watching the porno. It was more important than ever that she was ready to serve him.

She glanced at the clock. It was just after midnight. She could study for a little while longer.

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

Halia woke up.
She lay in bed with Mrs. Baldwin. Her lover in this world.

She would rather be in Lord Leo’s bed, but he was sleeping with his sisters tonight. Halia rose and moved to the window. She felt something dark outside. Something evil approached. A shiver ran through her.

What was this?

She studied the streets but couldn’t see anything. Darkness choked the world. Her skin prickled, so she left the room and marched down the stairs to the front door to hold a vigil. Evil crept through the night.

Halia had to be ready to protect her Lord.

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

Todlicht strolled down the dark street.

He had arrived.

This was where Leo lived. The real one. The trek had been long, but he was undead. He didn’t need to rest. To eat. He walked from Panama to here after swimming to shore. The cargo ship had gotten him far enough. Now…

He arrived at a door.

This felt right. A place to send a message.

He rang the doorbell.

Then again.

The Lucina residence.

He rang the doorbell a third time.

An angry shout from upstairs. Todlicht closed his eyes. The Leo in this world had no magic. No way to defend himself. It would be so easy to kill him, but where would be the fun in that? From where would he derive any enjoyment?

No, no, he wanted to send a message.

The door opened. A sleepy, overweight man rubbed at his eyes before glaring at Todlicht. “The fuck are you?”

“You are the angel’s husband?” asked Todlicht before he reached out.

“What?” the man said.

“If you wake up in another world, tell Leo that Todlicht knows where he lives.”

With that, the undead builder touched Mr. Lucina’s cheek.

The man’s face turned gray. He gurgled, his eyes rolling back in his head. He dropped to the ground like a heavy sack. He stared down at the twitching body. Foam bubbled from the mouth. Todlicht could feel the last moments of his life.

“Please, deliver a message for me,” Todlicht whispered.

With a final wheeze, Mr. Lucina died.

“I am coming for you, Leo.”

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

Auniasiiriliiania stared at the captured lightning builder.

Three elves had died to secure the builder and bring him to the capital. They only needed a fire builder to re-establish the barrier, but this would be a different sort. One that would dominate Fuegin and turn him into the Company’s second pet builder.

“We have the location of a fire builder,” Elder Asharialiana said. The elderly elf woman, her hair gray but face smooth, smiled. Her ancient, blue eyes shone with delight as she moved forward, her body bent by age and stress, requiring a cane to support her.

“We will seize him soon,” Elder Caeriathiasil promised. The Elder of the Builders, he was a young, strong elf with short hair. He looked… resigned.

“Are you finally agreeing to the plan?” Auniasiiriliiania asked him. He had opposed it since she proposed it.

He sighed. “There are no good options.”

“No,” Auniasiiriliiania agreed.

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

Fuegin had not slept.

He poured through the library, consuming book after book. He had to find the answer to his riddle. If he killed Leo, would he inherit the goddesses? Indecision paralyzed him while Leo marched forward to victory.

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

Queen Nyilianathiamia prayed for her husband.

The attack by Wai the Drowner had come so suddenly.

She knelt in her throne room, surrounded by her treant guards. She shivered at a sudden chill while prickles ran up her arms. She blinked at that, staring at the goose pimples rising across her skin. She frowned at that. What could have caused it?

“Wai the Drowner is dead,” Leo spoke in her mind. “Somehow.”

He did not sound happy.

A cold breeze whipped over the queen. She looked up and gasped to see her treants dying.

“Nilli!” her husband cried in her mind as the last of the treants vanished into motes, heavy icicles falling from their chests and shattering on the floor around the kneeling queen.

The elf trembled as a dwarf made of ice stood before her, a big grin on her lips. “Your Majesty, Lord Anshar wishes a word.”
