Dungeon Builders Harem Book 05 Ch 54 55

Chapter Fifty-Four

"We're confident in these calculations?" I asked as I stood in the Vault. I had a special teleportation room connected to it. Kassie and Fara were the only ones in here with me.

And Souleen.

"Based on what I observed with the scryer," said Fara. We had spent an hour moving it around so she could make calculations. "And from my survey of Astovin and its farms."

"When did you even have time to do that?" I muttered. "You've been working on the translation."

"Once we cracked it, there has been little to work on." Fara's ears twitched. "While you were engaged in that endless debauchery of creating your Level 3 monster girls, I kept busy." Fara didn't have any bite to her words. It wasn't an indictment but an observation.

"Mmm, so did I," Kassie said, this dreamy look on her. "Garnet and I toured the dungeon for three days."

I smiled. "Okay," I said and began making the changes. "Tell me the measurements."

Fara walked me through extending my dungeon out beyond Astovin's walls, using the tunnels that ran around the perimeter of the city. I brought it up to the point beneath the king's pavilion. I moved the teleportation room that connected to the one that lay off my Vault and teleported all the combatants there. My companions. Siwang and his. Halia. I created the stairs, but didn't thrust them up.

I drew in a deep breath. This was it. The attack that would end this madness. It would be simple. I waited for my monster girls to all be in position before I thrust the staircases up through the ground and formed new exits to my dungeon.

I cast my defensive and buff spells.

"We're ready, Leo,"

Hagane reported.

"GO!"

I created the five exits and released the Void Crystal.

Kassie, standing in the doorway to the teleportation room, rushed to it. She stepped on the circle. I joined her and glanced at Fara. She had the scrying device before her, watching it. I glimpsed my forces pouring out.

"Good luck," Fara said.

"Asud Gu!"

Light flashed and I appeared in the empty room. I rushed to the stairs that led to the king's pavilion. I charged up them and burst into the tent to find my monster girls taking charge. Maya, Mom, Vilkas, Crystal, Smerta, Halia, and Terra.

"What is the meaning of this!" a young man gasped as he reeled back from my surprise attack. He reached for a sword he wore on his hilt, a golden circlet on his head. "Guards!"

"Behind me, my king," a hard-faced and gray-haired man in a tunic that fit him like a military uniform. He already had his sword out and thrust himself before the king.

A wizened, old man stumbled back, clutching at his chest with liver-spotted hands. A robed woman stood in the back, her cowl hiding her face. Another woman in a blue dress with a circle of silver woven in her black hair pressed back into the tent.

The old man cried out,

"Gu-Dub Hum!"

A burst of deafening sound exploded in the air. My static aura crackled and devoured the sound, but Halia collapsed on her back, her body twitching. Kassie joined her while Maya and Smerta, who were reaching for the man, reeled and stumbled, disoriented by the sound.

A Thunder mage.

I had to kill him.

"Shadows flow and darkness sharpens--"

I began to chant.

"Dub Gu-Dub!"

the mage roared.

A hammer of thunderous sound slammed into my conjured breastplate. The metal dented my armor. My granite skin cracked beneath from the concussive force of the blow. I stumbled back a few steps, but I didn't stop casting my spell.

"--let the cunning of Lord Zuen stab!"

A dagger made of darkness flew through the air. The first offensive spell I had ever used. It slammed into the old man's eye. He dropped to the ground, dead. His hand clutching not at his chest, but at his brass medallion.

"FIEND!" roared the older man with the sword. He charged forward.

Crystal flicked her wrist. Her dagger of ice slammed into his arm. He screamed in pain, his sword falling from his hand. At the same moment, Mom's toes grew into roots that surged across the tent and grabbed the robed woman. Terra rushed at the other woman with the circlet. Maybe she was a queen.

Snarling, Vilkas leaped at the king. The crackling wolf made of lightning snarled as she flew through the air. He dove to the side, rolling on the ground. He came up in a crouch to face the raiju. She advanced, her entire body sparking.

"Electricity surges and binds, let the chains of Lord Enlil's lightning bind!"

I chanted.

Bonds of lightning wrapped around the king. He gasped as he was completely engulfed in the magical chains. He squirmed on the ground, his sword pinned to his side. Vilkas flowed into her human form and planted her foot on King Thanitis's chest.

"Surrender, your majesty," she said, her smile big. "It is time to negotiate."

I glanced at Halia. She was still breathing, as was Kassie. Maya and Smerta were shaking off the effects of the Concussive Blast spell. It was time to deal with the king. I marched to him, anger shaking my body as those fires burned in my mind.

He

forced

me to kill those men. He ordered them to attack me!

"We have much to talk about, Your Majesty," I growled.

The king spat at me. "I will not surrender! You will have to defeat me!"

"We'll be in my dungeon before your army can rally," I said. If I took someone prisoner, as I had learned with Halia, I could remake my dungeon. "I fear that you will be my hostage until we work out our differences."

"Come on," Vilkas said. She bent down to pick him up.

"What should we do with the others?" Terra asked, holding the blue-dressed woman's arms behind her back.

"Yeah," Crystal asked, pressing an icy dagger to the knight-general's throat.

"We'll take them--" I started to say when the king burst out in defiance.

"By the ancient pact, I free your shackles, Agubnamus! By ancient oaths sworn, I liberate you to fulfill your duty!"

"What?" I growled.

Metal clinked to the ground. I whirled to see a pair of manacles lying at the feet of the robed woman. The cloth around her swelled. Mom gasped as something about the woman changed. She expanded.

Chapter Fifty-Five

Morana burst out of the stairs outside the pavilion and screamed at the group of soldiers nearby. But not enough to kill them. Leo's request. Her deathly shriek washed over them. They clapped hands over their ears and fell to their knees, overwhelmed by the wail.

They collapsed, twitching.

Morana nodded as Lana Fulmine and Mrs. Lucina took to the air. Light and lightning flashed down at other soldiers in the surrounding tents. Chaos erupted. Morana smiled. She was here to keep back the enemy for the king to be secured.

She glanced at the pavilion. Shouts echoed from inside. Then a loud thunderclap.

She hoped it was going well as she screamed at another group of soldiers.

Garnet chortled as she threw a dildo into a guard's face.

He reeled back from the thudding impact, the fake dick bouncing off. Garnet threw another, knocking him off his feet. The little succubus burst out of the exit and took to the air to support the assault. Her red wings beat as she formed two more dildos in both hands. Big and floppy.

"For Dark Lord Big Bro!" she cried and hurtled them as hard as she could at a soldier rushing to help.

Cries erupted. Morana's deathly scream echoed through the night. Light flashed. Ms. Trueno roared. Her thunderous shout slammed into a group of soldiers rushing to their king's aid. They were flung back from the powerful yell.

"That's right!" Garnet cried.

Feya fluttered into the air on her butterfly wings. Her wand swept through the air. Beams of light struck soldiers and threw them off their feet. Ljosa's eye-beams flashed out like she was the X-Man Cyclops. A knight on a horse was thrown off, his armor smoking.

"That's right!" whooped Garnet. "For Dark Lord Big Bro!"

Hagane surveyed the efforts to secure the tent and drive back the enemy, the animated statue liking what she witnessed.

Esclava's firewhirl erupted, spinning to cut off a group of knights. Nina Naughty flung her flaming pitchforks, setting tents on fire. She added to the chaos. Daleitha soared over, her rainbow wings bursting with dazzling lights that confused soldiers.

Siwang stood by one of the exits, ready to escape.

"Hammer concusses, let the might of Lord Ishkur deafen!"

Thunder hammer threw a knight off his horse. The man hit the ground, groaning.

Xiongbu flowed into another group of soldiers, tearing at them while Guang fired eye-beams to aid her. Lei stood by Siwang's side, her thunderous hammer in hand, her one eye scanning the darkness for threats.

"Bright and distracting, let the illumination of Lord Shamash distract!"

Lights strobed before another group of soldiers. They reeled as it distracted them. Ms. Lucina's light slammed into some of them as she soared over followed by a flick from Feya's wand. The djinn and the ifrit swirled out deeper into the camp to cause more problems.

Yes, this is going good,

she thought, glancing to the tent. The king should be secured by now. Leo would retreat with the prisoners and close off the dungeon. He would strand the rest of them out here, but that was fine.

They would be reborn if the fliers couldn't carry them to safety.

Alizee soared through the air, watching as Paetu's whirlwind hurtled down an avenue between the tents. She ripped them away and flung the canvas to slam into soldiers and knights struggling to regroup at the early morning attack.

"Yes!" whooped Alizee, waiting for the signal to withdraw. "Let's go, Team Leo, let's go!" She clapped twice.

Baaghi and Bjorni charged at a group of soldiers, roaring fiercely. A blast of lightning from Lana Fulmine struck them. The soldiers screamed and ran before the rakshasa and bugbear. It was all going so wonderfully.

A roar turned her attention to the tent.

That didn't sound like Morana or Ms. Trueno.

The king's pavilion exploded outward. Something large swept out in the air. Another roar shook the skies.
