Chapter Eleven
With all the companions and new level 2 monster girls made, it was time to put a plan into motion. I had the energy to accomplish it now. When I saved the halflings, I didn't have the capacity to have a dungeon big enough to drive to Sharithin
and
to go out to the Twins' dungeons.
After exploring the Light Shrine, I had to pull back those tunnels. I had gambled in Sharithin. The plan was never to fight Sulanga. Save the halflings, evacuate them to Astovin, and settle them in the area. Then I could claim the mana veins that must be flowing through the Twins' dungeons.
Or so I hoped.
"Here it is," said Fara.
My elven scholar spread the drawings she made to guide me to Led's dungeon. They were still accurate. Nothing had changed save there was now the tunnel to Sharithin. The Twins' dungeons and the halfling city were both on the east side of the Low Carianith Mountains that my dungeon was in the western foothills of. But the halfling city was to the southeast, while the twins were more to the east. Not quite. I was still north of them. The two spots were still separated by quite a distance.
"How goes pinpointing all those shrines?" I asked.
"Well, Led did a good job," said Fara, her ears twitching. She was a slender beauty with milk-white skin and black hair that flowed down to her curving rump. "Based on the location of the two shrines we knew about, he's probably correct in his placement. That assumes they're on a perfect circle. When you have more energy, we should attempt to prove my theory and find one, but..."
"But the one opposite the Thunder Shrine is on the far side of the world," I said.
"Far, far, far longer than you've ever driven your dungeon." Fara shook her head. "It's an immense distance. I couldn't even fathom the obstacles that would be on the way. If you want to connect your dungeon to every shrine, you are going to have to spread your dungeon's tunnels across the whole world."
"And that makes the chance of a breach all the more likely," I muttered.
"And then you won't be able to teleport monster girls around," said Fara. "You won't—"
"I know the limitations," I muttered. If I had enemies in my base that were weeks away, it would be a disaster. No restoring to life slain monster girls. No remodeling my dungeon. Even now, we were taking risks. "We'll keep the tunnels deep. That should minimize anyone finding them and breaching them. And we'll figure out a network of teleportation circles or something. But that's for later."
"Much," agreed Fara. "Let's make you stronger, Lord Leo. The next level of power."
Greater spells and stronger monster girls. I would have to do a massive remodel of my dungeon after this. I needed those mana veins and... I wanted to have an outpost out there. The dwarves must see me in a favorable light after freeing them from Led and sparing the lives of the ones who had mined into my dungeon.
If I could forge an alliance with them, establish my power by them, and defend them, that would be amazing. I gripped my Void Crystal, ready to work. I had moved Vilkas to join Smerta in the forward guard post while Esclava I had sent to Paanee and Baaghi to guard the throne room. The harpies and Paetu patrolled the air. I had nothing else to do but drive to Led's dungeon.
Fara walked me through the tunnel I drove out from the one leading to Sharithin. I had Kassie building me extra teleportation circles. We would need one once I was done with this to make contact with the dwarves. It had taken hours to ride undead horses along a straight line at a full gallop to reach the Twins' dungeons.
Not a journey I ever wanted to repeat.
Finally, I found Led's dungeon. The first thing I did was connect to the Light Shrine, obliterating Led's dungeon. With the Twins dead, there was nothing to stop me from overwriting the space their dungeons occupied. That was what was so incredible about doing this. I had done the same to the Meskalamdug's dungeon, preserving only a few important spots like the inscriptions and the bodies of him and his wife for Isatu's sake.
Now I started driving exploration tunnels. There should be
four
Mana Veins to find. At least four. Each of the Twins had at least two. My stomach trembled as I explored carefully, driving my dungeon to overwrite Led's. I moved through it, my mind sunk into the interface.
I created a tunnel and...
Power rushed through me.
The Void Crystal hummed louder.
"Lord Leo!" Souleen moaned with almost orgasmic delight from her perch atop the black gem.
"Yes," I growled as I felt the Mana Vein. That brought me up to four. In that moment, I could feel the increase in power. I had found it. I hit Level 3. Stronger monster girls. More powerful spells. "Fara, I did it!"
"It worked?" she asked, her eyes twitching.
"It fucking worked!" I released my Void Crystal and grabbed my elf. I grabbed her slender hips and spun her around as I whooped in excitement.
Exhilaration surged through me. I had finally crossed that threshold into the next level of dungeon building. My blood blazed with passion. I set Fara down and kissed her. I claimed her lips with mine. She quivered against me as my tongue thrust into her mouth. I danced around in her, loving the taste of her.
I grabbed her ass, squeezing her rump as my cock throbbed against her belly. I twitched with my wild heartbeat as I kissed her with such passion. I made out with her, savoring this moment more than anything. It was magnificent.
I had done it.
I kissed my elf with such passion, my blood singing. My tongue danced in her mouth. She whimpered, her petite body rubbing against mine. I loved the feel of her smooth and silky skin. She felt so amazing against me.
So delicious.
I broke the kiss and dropped to my knees.
"Lord Leo," Fara moaned as I buried my face into her hairless pussy.
My elf's hot vulva kissed my lips. I tongued her snatch, licking at her slit and the nectary flavor of her cunt cream. I gathered up her flowery juices. Her small breasts quivered over me. She grabbed the back of my head as if to steady herself as she swayed like a willow in a storm.
