Chapter Thirty-Six
"I have to put this place back to normal," Lord Leo said the next morning.
"Of course," Halia said.
"Make me a Jacuzzi!" Garnet shouted, the succubus crouched on the bed, her tail swishing back and forth.
"Can't," he said. "Bath has to do." He padded to the door then paused. "Why do you want a Jacuzzi?"
"D'oh, big bro, to have sex in it!" Garnet's wings flapped.
SMACK!
Maya's hand slapped the succubus on the rump, sending ripples through the undine's blue body. "Didn't you have enough sex in the hot spring last night?"
"Well, yes!" said Garnet. "Me and the puppies got frisky." Halia knew that Garnet called the wildhounds "puppies." "And then the mama-bears joined the fun. Mmm, those werebears are passionate. And you were getting it hard from those orcs."
"Well, they can make metal items," said Maya. "Including metal dildos. I was pinned between Slepkavi and Orka. They were just drilling my pussy and asshole. Ooh, Leo, you have made me into a complete whore."
"Yep," Leo said. "Soon you'll be THOTing it up."
"I'll leave that to the professional," Maya said, giving Lana Fulmine a playful look.
Thoughting?
Halia wondered. Then she decided to ignore it as Lana Fulmine laughed and preened, one hand on her hip, the other at the back of her head, her breasts jiggling before her.
"Let's get started on breakfast," Mrs. Baldwin said, smacking her daughter on the rump.
"How is Garnet's cooking coming along?" Halia asked. She had been asleep for a week or two.
No, petrified. That's far, far more terrifying.
"I'm awesome, of course," Garnet said. "Kweh, heh, heh, breakfast does not stand a chance against my adorableness."
"She's getting better," Mrs. Baldwin said. The dryad grabbed her daughter and dragged her to the kitchen. "Care to join for any lessons?"
Halia shook her head. The world rippled for a moment. No one changed positions. The room looked the same. It had been disconcerting the first time that had happened, but Halia was used to it now. Leo had just changed the dungeon. Apparently, his plan with the twins involved a massive trap.
Feeling restless and knowing breakfast would take some time to make, she padded naked from the bedroom to walk the dungeon. Her large breasts jiggled. She didn't need to go armed. Of course, if an intruder attacked...
She passed through the living area. There were plenty of books on the shelves. Maya grabbed one and sank on a chair to read. Halia left it behind and found an elevator. That was new. She rode it down, marveling at how fast it went. It was an amazing device. Dungeons were said to be full of wonders and death.
She stepped out and headed down the hallway. The throne room looked the same. She glanced down at the map and it showed the map of the dungeon. It was different from when she remembered it. There were more rooms, two more false labyrinths, and a lot more traps. She studied the monster girls spread out through it. The water room was easy to spot with the mermaids and hippocampi in there.
Leo had added a room full of metal automatons. Not monsters, but traps made of Metal. A second room would shake when entered. The ground would split open in random spots to drop people down to the pit far below. That was full of spikes. A nasty business.
In the corridors, there were rock spikes that would burst from the ceiling and impale the head or metal scythes that would slice out at waist level. Standard defense for a dungeon. Halia touched those traps.
Adventurers like her would be injured by them. Maybe even killed. She shook her head. A strange guilt suffused her for living here. For having happiness in Lord Leo's harem when people she knew would be risking their life.
People like her.
Who believed that dungeon builders were evil.
That was why she had to help show the world that Leo was different. That here was one dungeon builder that could be their ally. Now more than ever, she felt the desire to be his champion. To march out into the world and tell them all of what he could do.
To put out the call for adventurers to serve him.
Cute adventurers,
she thought.
Girls with big boobs. He likes big boobs.
Halia glanced down at her own tits.
Okay, he likes small boobs and round boobs, too, but big boobs are just more fun. He could have a busty dwarven thief and an elven priestess, all tall and graceful. A halfling wizard would be interesting, though he has his own spells.
Priestly magic and wizardry worked differently than dungeon builder spells. Wizards didn't even pray to one of the twenty-four gods.
Why do they answer dungeon builder prayers and their own priests and paladins?
wondered Halia.
The dungeon rippled again. Halia shuddered as Leo had changed something. She glanced down and blinked. The map was pulling back to reveal a long tunnel thrusting off that went to the west towards...
"Astovin?" she gasped. The tunnel was miles long. Narrow and straight. She focused on the end and there it ended at a small room that had a door to the surface, perhaps in the side of a hill. Maybe the wooded ones on the outskirts. "Leo? What are you up to?"
She headed back to the quarters.

The Void Crystal hummed louder. I gasped and felt the increase of magic rushing through my dungeon as the tunnel I had designed to run almost to Astovin quivered.
"You hit another Mana Vein," said Souleen. She jumped up and down on the Void Crystal, her breasts jiggling. "Well done. Well done indeed!"
"Yeah," I said. That hadn't been my intention. I was just thrilled that I had enough mana to drive the tunnel all the way to Astovin like I wanted. "Makes getting there easy. I can teleport a whole force of monster girls to the end of the tunnel to protect them. Supplies will be easy to get. No more spending all day walking to the village and back. And if adventurers do penetrate it, they'll only be funneled to the normal entrance of the dungeon."
"Well done indeed!" cheered Souleen. She squirmed on the Void Crystal. "Have you thought about whom you'd like to bring over as your new companions?"
