Chapter Twenty-Five

“Oh, Leo,” Lana Fulmine moaned as I pumped my cock into her pussy. I thrust hard into her, my balls smacking against her taint. Her silvery face twisted in delight, her blue eyes almost electrified with her passion.

Her pussy certainly was.

My cock tingled as I plunged into my movie starlet's cunt. Her golden hair crackled with current that filled her body. I shuddered, the pleasure of fucking her pussy such an exquisite delight. I buried into her hard.

Two days after sending out Hela and Marwo found me enjoying my first fuck of the day. Lana had the honor. I thrust my dick into her while Maya watched us, her watery form undulating as I plowed into her. Mrs. Maia and Garnet were making breakfast. My dick throbbed and ached in Lana's cunt.

“Oh, Leo!” she moaned, her tingling hands running up and down my back. “My number one fan, yes!”

“Oh, he's definitely that,” Maya purred, her fingers between her thighs. “When that first Jane Dangerous movie came out, he had such a hardon when we came out of theaters. He tried to hide it, all embarrassed about it that way young boys just hitting puberty are.”

“God,” I groaned, my cheeks burning. “You remember the worst things, Maya.”

“That's what childhood friends are for!” she moaned, smiling. 

I grinned at her, slamming my cock to the hilt in Lana's pussy. “You can't blame me. Those booty shorts you wore in the movie, Lana. I mean...”

“I know,” she groaned. “Mmm, want me to dress up as her again. You can be BaronDoom.”

“Fuck!” I groaned, remembering our roleplay when it was just me, Lana, and the will o' wisps. “You are such a—”

The dungeon alarm blared.

“Fuck!” I groaned, burying to the hilt in her and pausing. “Fuck, fuck, fuck.”

“More adventures?” groaned Maya.

I nodded. This was the fifth attack since the wildhounds had left. The adventurers new about my dungeon and were flocking to it. No thanks to Lord Shorvin and the bounty he placed on me. I defend Astovin and this was how the asshole thanked me.

I rose off Lana. So far, none of the parties had made it past the monster girls in the labyrinth. The Level Twos—werebears, quetzalcoatls, and the arachnea—were decimating them backed up by the satyrs, slimes, will o' wisps, and wildhounds. 

Still, I couldn't just relax. 

I rolled off the bed, Maya already grabbing my robe and holding it for me. Lana went for my silver breastplate, my enchanted spear leaning against the wall beside it along with a sheathed dagger. They helped me dress as Garnet popped in.

“'s says breakfast is at a critical stage,” reported my little succubus. “Is it all right if she keeps cooking.”

“Yeah,” I said. “I doubt these adventurers will get anywhere.” I glanced down at my cock thrusting against the front of my robes. “Fuckers have the worst timing.”

“I was so close to cumming,” Lana said as she helped strapped me into my armor. “Almost there.”

“Kweh, heh, heh, then we shall crush the intruders and make them pay for interrupting your pleasure!” my little succubus declared. 

“They're real people that are going to be hurt or killed,” I reminded my little succubus.

“Real assholes,” muttered Garnet.

“Still,” I said, the alarm blaring.

I marched out of the bedroom, my three monster girl companions with me. We reached the lift and rode it down the many levels to the dungeon proper and my throne room. I marched out of it to reach the map.

It showed my dungeon, well, the main level of it. Dots moved around on it. The blue dots of my monster girls swarmed the reds of the adventurers. They had penetrated not far into the labyrinth. They were bogged down. Monster girls were hitting them from all side now. 

I winced as Khur died. The satyr's light winked out. But then so did a red dot. My satyr could come back, but that person wouldn't. They were dead trying to defend their world, mistaking me for evil. The others clustered for the door. Three of my blue dots slammed into them, the werebears. Another red dot went out.

The remaining two broke for the exit. The arachne dropped down on them, cutting them off. I closed my eyes and looked away. I could feel when my dungeon was cleared of intruders. I didn't like killing them, but survivors just returned. They would get better gear and come back with more knowledge.

I had to stop adventurers from wanting to attack my dungeon.

“Man, we barely even got down here,” Garnet said, shaking her head, “We could have stayed in bed.”

“No, we couldn't have,” I growled. “This isn't a game, Garnet.”

She flinched. Pain flashed across her face. “I know that. It's just...” She bit her lower lip. “It's easier to pretend. I don't have to think that they're people and... that they're dying and... and...”

I sighed and held open my arms.

My little succubus flew into them and hugged them. She pressed her face into my breastplate. I held her tight as she shook. I stroked her back between her wings, caressing her. I wanted her to be safe and happy.

“I know,” I whispered. “I'm not the only one suffering, am I?”

“No,” Maya said. “We all hate this. It would be so much easier if this was a game.” Maya shook her head. “Whoever brought you hear is sick. This is messed up. They put you in a situation and make you fight to get stronger.”

“Like honing a dagger,” I muttered. That was something Usiku had said. An idea of hers on why this was happening. “Sharpening me up for something.”

“What?” Lana asked, staring at the map. The monster girls were resetting to their position, happy to wait in the dark. “Why?”

That was what I wanted to know. Would my letter I sent to ElFLIbrary and its library achieve any results? I doubted the elves would actually answer me. I was an “evil” dungeon builder, after all. One of the deplorable monsters that afflicted their world.

They thought we were blight. Cancer. And hearing stories about some of the actions of my fellow dungeon builders, and seeing what Jindag and the Twins did personally, fed that perception. I couldn't blame the world for thinking we were dangerous.

They had plenty of examples to prove it.

“Let's get cleaned up and eat breakfast,” I said. “I'm sure we'll have another wave of attacks soon.”

If the adventurers were attacking enmass like this, then I wouldn't be able to attack the Twins. Not if I would get defeated by some fighter who managed to hack through my traps and reach my Void Crystal. 

I reset my dungeon. The loot from the adventures was added to various chests scattered about. They were bribes, in a way, hoping that the greedier adventurers would take what they could and leave. But maybe that was a mistake.

But what would I do with it? I didn't need it.

Khur reformed out of the darkness. The busty satyr stretched her back, her cloven hooves clopping on the stones as she shifted. Her big boobs quivered. They were ripe and full of her milk. Her curly, gray hair spilled around her youthful face.

“Thank you, Lord Leo,” she said brightly. “That was a nice nap.”

“It doesn't bother you that you died?” I asked her. “That you were hurt?”

She blinked at me. “Why would it.” She clopped up to me, big boobs jiggling. “Lord Leo, I was so happy when I died because I was helping defend you. I just have to be faster next time and not get caught by the mage's fireball.”

“Didn't it hurt?” I asked, swallowing. Fire?

She nodded. “But I would suffer so much more pain for you, Lord Leo.” Her arms slid around my neck, her large boobs pressing into the front of my robes. “You know that I love you, Lord Leo.”

“Because I made you.”

“Mmm, you did.” She sounded so happy. “Lord Leo, what hurts me is that my death hurts you. I don't want you to feel bad. You know why?”

“Why?” I croaked, emotion thick in my voice.

“Because when I die, I'm not afraid. Yes, it hurt, but then it's gone and I get to rest before you revive me. I don't have any fear because I know you'll bring me back. You proved that, Lord Leo. You didn't discarded me so you could have another werebear. Thank you, Lord Leo.”

I tightened my arms around her. Tears built in my eyes. “Thank you, Khur.”

“Mmm, I like being held by you.” She rubbed her face into my neck. “Mmm, and you smell so good, you know that.”

“So do you,” I whispered, my hands sliding down her back to grab her ass. “You've been a good monster girl.”

She giggled. “That's another reason we don't mind dying, Lord Leo! You reward us. You're so loving to us after we're reborn.”

I chuckled. “I suppose I am.” My fingers dug into her rump. Then I broke the embrace and scooped her into my arms. “Come on. I have to go love you.”

She let out a baaing squeal, so goat-like and feminine all at the same time. Her little horns peeked out of her mass of gray hair. It didn't make her seem old. Now, this gray had a vibrancy to it. It made her seem more youthful.

I passed out of the vault room into my bedroom and carried her to my bed. Maya, Garnet, and Lana weren't in here. I wondered what they were up to. I sighed and hoped Garnet was staying out of trouble.

Sometimes, she would wander into the dungeon proper and play with the monster girls on guard duty.

I set Khur down with care. She quivered, her lithe legs twitching. They looked so human until her calves got fury and she had those cloven hooves. She bit her lower lip as I slid out of my gray robe. Her gold eyes gleamed with excitement.

“Lord Leo,” she groaned. “Do you know how sexy you are?”

“So I've been told,” I said, shrugging.

“So sexy,” she cooed with a naughty quiver, her legs twitching and big boobs jiggling.

I grinned at her and slid onto the bed. I licked my lips, so hungry to feast on her and reward her. I pushed her knees apart. Her thick bush dripped with her cream. The tangy aroma of her pussy filled my nose. She and her fellow satyrs all had the same scents, though with minute variations. I breathed in again, loving the aroma.

Then I pressed my face into her curly pubic hair, the silky strands tickling my nose and cheeks. My lips kissed her pussy. My tongue flicked out, dragging through her folds. She gasped, her big boobs jiggling. My hands shoved beneath her ass. I held my monster girls' cute tush.

“Lord Leo!” she moaned, her big boobs quivering. 

She squeezed her thighs about my head, pining me to her pussy. She groaned, humping her furred muff against me. I loved the silky caress of her pubic hair. She felt so good on me. Such a wonderful delight. I devoured her. I feasted on her with hunger. This was such a good one. I licked and lapped at her.

I drank her tangy juices. I lapped at her with hunger. I flicked my tongue through her folds. I caressed her with hunger. My tongue dove through her wonderful labia. She baaed out her passion, her head tossing.

I squeezed her ass as I feasted on her. I couldn't stop licking at her. I owed her and my other monster girls so much. They all deserved to have me worship them for what they did for me. Thrust my tongue into Khur's depths.

“Lord Leo!” she moaned, her boobs quivering. “Yes, yes, yes, you're so wonderful. I love you.”

“Love you, Khur,” I groaned.

My tongue danced through her sheath. I caressed her pussy walls and gathered up her tangy juices. I drank them down as I devoured her snatch. My tongue flicked through her folds next. I brushed her clit. She bucked. Her boobs shook, two quivering mounds topped by pink nipples thrusting from them. 

I swirled around her bud. I caressed her with my tongue while her curls rubbed on my face. She whimpered and baaed, her passion building and building. The heat of her pussy was something spectacular.

“That's so good, Lord Leo!” she moaned as I fluttered my tongue against her clit. I drummed on her little bud. “Yes, yes, yes, Lord Leo, please don't stop. Please keep licking me. Lapping at me. Oh, Lord Leo!”

“Mmm, my delicious Khur,” I groaned and sucked on her clit.

“LordLIfe's vital dick,” she groaned. “Oh, yes, yes, that's amazing. That's wonderful. Keep sucking on me like that. Yes, yes, yes! I'm going to cum, Lord Leo!”

She humped against my mouth, her curls rubbing on my lips and cheeks. I nursed on her bud, my fingers digging into her flexing rump. Her boobs smacked together. They rippled from the impacts. Her passion echoed through the room. It was such a wonderful delight to hear. I loved every moment of her crying out.

I nibbled my lips on her bud. My fingers dug into her rump as I brought her closer and closer to her orgasm. I wanted to give her so much pleasure. My cock ached, but I ignored my own needs. Khur had to be loved.

“Lord Leo!” she gasped. “Oh, yes, yes, yes! LadyLife's juicy cunt... Yes!”

A loud baaaaaaa burst from her lips. Her tits heaved while tangy cream gushed out of her pussy. I groaned and drank down that wonderful flood. I gulped down the wonderful flood of cream. It spilled out of her. It washed over my tongue and lips. I fluttered my tongue up and down, gathering up the wonderful delight.

My fingers dug into her rump as I drank down all that wonderful cream. Her silky curls rubbed on my face as she bucked through her orgasm. Her baaing neighs echoed through the room. It was such a wonderful treat.

“Oh, yes, yes, that's good,” I groaned. “Damn, you taste good.”

“Thank you, Lord Leo,” she baaed. “You make me feel so loved.”

“You are loved,” I panted, lifting my head form her pussy, her cream dripping down my thighs.

“Now let me love you, Lord Leo.” she smiled, her cheeks flushed. “My pussy is all juicy and wet. Why don't you just slide your cock in. I know you didn't 'get to finish this morning.”

“How do you know that?” I asked.

“The dungeon quivers when you're having sex.” she said. “And when you cum, well, it's like this energy is released. It's all subtle and it makes us happy. But those annoying adventures interrupted you.”

“Yeah,” I groaned, crawling up her body, my cock twitching and throbbing. I grabbed her boobs and squeezed them.

Milk squirted up in the air and then splashed own on my hands and her tits. 

“That was so mean of them,” Khur moaned and grabbed my cock. “Just slide into my pussy and let me love you, Lord Leo.”

I smiled as she brought me right to her pussy. My cock slid through her curls and then pressed into her pussy. I groaned and squeezed her tits again. My mouth opened wide. I caught one of the streams in my mouth. Mostly. Milk splashed on my lips and chin. 

It was a wonderful taste. I savored it as I thrust into her juicy pussy. Khur baaed her delight, her cunt squeezing about me. She shook her head, her curly hair dancing around her small horns. Joy burst across her face.

“Lord Leo's cock,” she groaned in delight as I sank deeper and deeper into her cunt.

I groaned at how juicy she was. How hot and tight. All my monster girls felt prefect when I was in them. They were all prefect in their unique ways. I squeezed her tits again, her pussy clamping down on my cock while her milk squirted in the air and bathed over my face. Warm drops ran down my cheeks.

She giggled.

I winked at her and then drew back. Her pussy clung to my cock. I groaned at the silky friction. The pleasure rippled through my body. I slammed back into her. I buried to the hilt in her snatch. My balls smacked into her taint.

It was an incredible delight. Her pussy squeezed about me in such a wonderful way. I thrust at her. I fucked into her pussy with hard thrusts. Her cunt massaged me. My heavy balls smacked into her taint. The pleasure rippled through me.

“Damn,” I groaned as I pumped away at her. “Oh, damn, Khur.”

“I know, Lord Leo!” she baaed. “My pussy is awesome.”

I grinned at her. “That's how Garnet talks.”

“Mmm, she's awesome, too. She's teaching us things to say.” Her pussy squeezed down hard on me. “Yes, yes, that's tight!” She said it an exaggerated manner. “Yes, yes, getting fucked by you is tight!”

I grinned at her. “So is fucking you.”

“That's because my pussy is tight!” she squealed and giggled, her pussy clamping down on my cock.

“Yeah!” I groaned, the pleasure shooting through me.

I pumped away at Khur, every thrust smacking my balls into her taint. My jizz built and built in me. I would have such a mighty orgasm. Just a big blast of cum that I would fire into her twat. I would baste her with so much of my jizz. It would be incredible. I groaned, slamming hard into her. Fast. I buried to the hilt in her again and again and again. I groaned, my nuts slapping into her.

She squeezed her thighs about me, her boobs jiggling in my squeezing hands. More milk fired up into the air. She baaed and clamped her cunt down on my cock every time I did that. I groaned, loving the delight as I pumped away at her snatch.

“Yes, yes, yes!” I moaned. “Oh, my god, that's good. Your pussy! Oh, Khur!”

“LadyLight's juicy cunt!” she moaned. “I'm going to cum on your cock, Lord Leo. Two orgasms from you... Oh,you're spoiling me!”

“You deserve it,” I groaned and slammed to the hilt in her pussy.

As I drew back, her body quivered. Then her pussy went wild around me. Her cunt spasmed and writhed. Her pussy rippled around me. It was incredible. My nuts tightened. I groaned, savoring the pleasure of this moment.

I pumped away at her. I fucked her with passion. I buried to the hilt in her snatch. Her pussy spasmed around me. That wonderful cunt convulsed around me, sucking at me. My balls tightened. The ache swelled.

“Khur!” I groaned and erupted.

“Oh, Lord Leo!” she gasped, her back arching. Her pussy rippled around me with such passion. “Yes, yes, you're spurting all your cum in me.”

“Uh-huh!” I grunted.

I pumped her full of my cum. It erupted out of me. Blast after blast of spunk that spurted into her. It was amazing. I shuddered, savoring every eruption. Every spurt of cum I fired into her snatch. The pleasure hammered my mind.

Stars burst across my vision. I groaned, her pussy rippling and writhing around me. She milked me while baaing her delight. I squeezed her tits hard as I erupted a final time. Milk squirted up in the air and splashed hot across my face.

“Oh, Lord Leo!” she mewled. “Oh, yes, yes, you're so wonderful. You're tight!”

I winked at her, my mind melting from all that wonderful pleasure. 

*  \ * /  *

Maya smiled when Khur darted out of the bedroom, cum matting the satyr's bush. The rippling Undine peered into the bedroom to find Leo lying on his back his arms behind his head, and a smile on his lips.

“Well, you look better than you had when you came in here,” Maya said.

“Khur gave me some perspective,” he said.

“Good,” she said. “Because breakfast is ready.” Joy rippled through Maya like waves over her body. He suffered so much whenever a monster girl died. Which was good and bad. He needed to love them to keep his humanity, but the pain he suffered would only scar his soul. Too much of that wasn't good either.

It was up to Maya and the others to keep that from happening.

“So, what did —”

The dungeon alarm blared again. Maya and Leo both groaned. 

Chapter Twenty-Six

The adventurers were wiped out. They had penetrated far. They were a stronger group, but my monster girls and the traps handled them. The lower level monster girls were the ones that were dying the most, but a werebear had also died in that attack.

I had to train them, I realized.

While we waited on Hela and Marwo's scouting report, I started training my monster girls. I would meet them in the labyrinth and we would discuss ways to fight basilisks, orcs, yuki-onna, and unicorns. Discuss tactics. 

With Usiku's help, we trained the will o' wisps, wildhounds, satyrs, and slimes in new ideas to give them more of a chance against the stronger monster girls. Ambush tactics. Dirty tricks. There was no playing fair.

I wanted my monster girls to win.

Over the next few days, the adventurer wave waned. Until we went twelve hours without one. It looked like the current crop had been defeated or the survivors had given up and went to find easier dungeons.

To grind and level up and come back, I supposed.

I added more traps and passive defenses with the experience I was getting. More dead ends in the labyrinth. More ways for them to get lost or killed. I had to be ready for when we attacked the Twins. I didn't want there to be any chance that adventurous could find my Void Crystal.

“Okay,” I said to my gathered monster girls. I was in our training room. I created it in the middle of the labyrinth. From here, they could get back to their posts fast if need be. It was on the level beneath the main dungeon. “We also need ideas if the Twins attack us again, I want to be ready.”

Discussions were had. Monster girls put in their own inputs.

“We should make use of the mermaids and the hippocampi,” said Maya. “They're very useful.”

“We have the water room,” I said. “They have to deal with them to get through to the throne room.”

“Yeah,” said Maya, “but I think we can do better. Make a room just to fight them.”

I arched an eyebrow. “We're going to take the fight to them. That's the best plan.”

“Is it?” she asked. “Marwo and Hela aren't back. It's been five days. These twins are not close by to us.”

I considered that. I knew that Marwo and Hela had reached the twins and had scouted them. They couldn't fully explain everything. It was better to wait for them to come back. Leaving my dungeon undefended for a week...

That wasn't practical at all. The twins had done it. What made them so self-possessed that they could leave their domain unguarded for so long. They must have sent all their monster girls to attack us. Even one of their minions was with them, the gorgon.

I pondered that.

The next day, Hela and Marwo returned. 

They scampered up to me as I sat on my throne, thinking about things. I did that a lot these days. The two wildhounds could easily walk on two legs, but they preferred to scurry about on their hands and feet in this playful manner when excited.

“Lord Leo!” Hela barked as she stopped before me, crouched on the balls of her feet with her legs spread wide, her small tits quivering.

“We're back!” Marwo said, her ears twitching. Both of their bushy tails wagged behind them. 

“I can see that,” I said.

“The twins are so far away,” said Marwo. “They're out in the Vorianil mountains. They're such huge mountains west of the Myrecilla. It took us two days of straight running to reach there. We didn't sleep at all.”

“Damn,” I muttered. It would take me even longer to march my army of monster girls there. I would go with them, of course. I had to sleep. “That far?”

“They've enslaved the dwarves of the mountains,” added Hela. “They make them build things. They're making a fortress.”

I groaned. “Really?” I leaned back at that. I didn't like that one bit. My fingers rubbed at the throne room. “That must be why they sent all their monster girls. Or most of them. They have dwarves and fortifications. They must not be under pressure from adventures.”

“It's so mean,” Marwo said. “The dwarves don't look happy at all.”

“Not at all,” added Hela. She rubbed her face into his crotch and whimpered. A moment later, Marwo was doing the same.

“How close did you get?” you ask.

“Not very.” Hela shuddered. The dwarves cleared away much of the woods. There's not much cover at all. We had to stay hidden.”

I bit my lip. How to handle this?

I casually untied my robe, my thoughts struggling to focus on this new problem. Dwarf slaves. Fortifications. Could I even attack the twins? But I had to. I had to kill Ziamili. They would send another attack on me one way or the other. I had to be ready for them. It was why I had upgraded to Level Two magic. I had to be as strong as them, but...

“Damn,” I muttered.

The wildhounds grabbed my cock. They stroked me. A moment later, their tongues licked and lapped over the crown of my dick. I groaned as they did that. A shiver ran through me as their tongues dragged over my cock and stimulated me.

My dick throbbed in their stroking hands. Their tongues licked and lapped at me. They bathed my spongy crown with their saliva. It felt incredible to enjoy. I shuddered, savoring every moment of them caressing my tip.

I placed my hands on their heads and scratched them between their doggy ears. Those twitched with their excitement. Their tongues kept licking over my dick. They bathed me, making me shudder. I groaned, loving the feel of them caressing me.

“Damn,” I groaned as they lapped at me. “Oh, damn, that's good.”

They both yapped in delight and licked me with their tongues. They were warm and delicious, the crown of my cock drinking in the pleasure. I groaned, shifting on my throne. They dipped into my slit and lapped up my precum.

Then Hela sucked my cock into her mouth and Marwo went for my nuts. The two naughty wildhounds sucked on me. I groaned as Hela nursed on my cock and Marwo nibbled on testicle. Her lips were soft, the stimulation perfect.

I arched my back, my chest rising and falling. This was incredible to feel. Marwo bathed my ball with her tongue then sucked on the other one. At the same time, Hela bobbed her head. She worked her mouth up and down my dick. Her suction was incredible.

I groaned, my back arching into the throne behind me. I scratched at their heads, savoring the passion they stirred in me. They were both moaning as they pleasured me. Their tails wagged, brushing over each other.

“Damn, that's great,” I groaned, the problem momentarily forgotten as the two wildhounds enjoyed their reward.

They sucked with passion on my cock and ball. Marwo's nursing sent little twinges of delight shooting up to my cock to Hela's hot mouth. She worked her lips up and down my shaft, suckling the entire time. Her cheeks hollowed.

The ache swelled in my balls and at the tip of my cock. That explosive release that would have my cum firing over and over again. I groaned, rising towards that amazing eruption. I shuddered, a big smile crossing my lips.

“That's fucking it,” I groaned. “You two did great. Yes, yes, just amazing.”

“Thank you, Lord Leo!” yapped Marwo. Then she sucked my right nut into her mouth.

I groaned at the pressure building in my balls. Her tongue bathed over them while Hela's naughty tongue danced around the crown of my cock. She sucked with such naughty fervor. I groaned, my chest rising and falling.

My fingers clutched at their hair. I held them tight as they worshiped me. Loved me. I groaned, rising towards my orgasm. I shifted in my throne, my pants echo through the open room. They reverberated around and echoed back at me. 

“Shit,” I groaned. “Hela, I'm going to cum. Share with Marwo.”

Hela slid her mouth of my cock to moan, “Yes, Lord Leo! Marwo's a good girl, too. She deserves your jizz!”

“Yes!” Marwo moaned and slid her head up, pressing her cheek into her fellow wildhound's. Their near identical features stared at my cock as they fisted my dick. “Cum on our faces, Lord Leo!”

“Just jizz all over us!” added Hela. “Yes, yes, yes!” 

I groaned, my balls tightening. I hurtled closer to that moment. I shuddered, my heart pounding in my chest. Hela's hand slid up and over the crown of my cock. The massaged that sensitive spot. That was enough.

I erupted.

I spurted cum. I fired over and over again. I basted the wildhounds' face. I coated them in my spunk. It was incredible. I groaned, sparks bursting across my thoughts. They sizzled as I fired more and more jizz onto them.

“Oh, fuck, yes!”

It was so hot coating their faces in my spunk. I painted over their features. Their cute and adorable faces were transformed into something slutty and naughty. It was such a hot look to see them dripping in spunk. Their ears quivered.

“Damn!” I groaned and fired the last of the spunk.

I slumped back onto my throne room, my mind clearing from the rapture. I closed my eyes. It would take three or four days for me to lead my forces to the Twins. That just wasn't going to be work. I needed a faster way. I couldn't leave Souleen vulnerable that long, no matter how good my traps and maze was.

There had to be a faster way to travel. My eyes widened. “Fuegin.”

“Lord Leo?” Hela asked, turning her face from Marwo's. The pair appeared to be in the process of licking each other clean. 

“Fuegin's dungeon isn't near here, and yet he comes to visit. Isn't he worried about his domain being attacked.” I swallowed. “Even if he has as much territory that he's pacified, it's still a risk. Yet he must have to travel even farther than it is for me to go the twins.” Something else clicked in my mind. “He also gave me a TelEisman. I can use it to call on him if I need to.”

“Oh, wow, Lord Leo,” said Hela.

It was easy to find things with my Void Crystal. Everything in the dungeon was archived and able to be moved around when I reshaped it. That meant I just had to move the TelEIsman that Fuegin had given me on our first meeting to my hand.

Viola.

I activated it. Then I sat to wait. He said he would come as fast as he could. I was curious what that meant. How fast it would be. And if he would really come. He seemed on the level. He wanted to figured out our role in this world. Yes, he had committed atrocities. He had his reasons. They made sense in a Thanos sort of way.

In other words, that I could see the logic behind them even if I disagreed that wiping out those villages was a necessary evil to bring peace and stability to his part of the rule. I would have found another way.

“So attacking the Twins is out?” Maya asked as we stood in the throne room after I had summoned Fuegin.

“Yeah,” I said. “It's out unless I can get there fast. I mean... Three or four days of travel. That's three or four days back.”

“We haven't been attacked by an adventurer for a day or two,” Garnet said.

“Yeah, a day or two. All it takes is one of them to reach Souleen and the Void Crystal and...”

“You can't let that happen to me,” Souleen cried in my mind. “You promised to protect me, Lord Leo.”

“And I will,” I sent back to her. “So that's why we have to find another way to get there that's—”

I felt the Fuegin had arrived. I was more and more in tune with my dungeon. The alarm didn't ring, but I could feel that another dungeon builder had arrived and desired to parley. A moment later, Damhanalla whispered in my thoughts, “Fuegin has arrived, Lord Leo, and vows to behave as long as he's your guest.”

“Escort him to the throne room,” I sent back to the arachne. I glanced at Maya and the others. “He's already hear.”

“After twenty minutes?” asked Mrs. Maia.

“I knew it,” I said, a smile spreading on my lips. This confirmed it. A way to travel great distances fast.

I watched the blue dot of Damhanalla escorting the two green dots for Fuegin and Amante, his cherfu. They came closer and closer. I drew in deep and calming breaths. I had to get Fuegin to tell me how he traveled so far so fast. 

The door to the throne room opened and then Fuegin strolled in wearing his cloak of fire. He had that unnatural bronze skin and eyes that glowed like coals. It was the theatrics. I could see this was how he played up being the evil dungeon builder. The one who had destroyed several cities to stop any more attacks on his territory.

He stopped before me and gave me a grin. “Having some problems with the twins?”

“You know?” I asked, not sure if I should be surprised by that.

“You don't stay alive as a dungeon builder as long as I have by keeping your head thrust in the sand.”

“Fair enough,” I said. I could see how that was useful. “I really just had a question for you. I hope you don't mind me summoning you for that.”

“No, no,” Fuegin said, waving his hand. “Honestly, it's nice to get out of my dungeon and stretch my legs. You don't get to visit too many people in our position.”

I smiled for a moment and then remembered why that was. The grin slipped off my lips as I asked, “How do you travel around so fast? Obviously, you got here way, way faster than if you walked.”

“If you have the excess mana, you can make warp points with your Void Crystal.”

Excitement rushed through me. “Really? Just some excess mana. Do you have to visit the spot.”

“You or one of your monster girls,” he said. “If you scout the place. Of course,” he glanced at Damhanalla who was behind him, standing proud on her eight spider legs, “if you are only at Level Two it's impossible. You need to be at Level Three to make warp points. Then your Soul will tell you how to do it.”

“Oh,” I said. That would mean finding two more streams of Mana to intersect my dungeon. It had been hard enough finding my second. 

“I'm sorry,” said Fuegin. “I understand your conflict with the twins. They attacked your dungeon.”

“And the village that I'm protecting,” I said, anger swelling in me. “It was luck that I'm here.”

“No, no, not luck,” said Fuegin. “I mean, that's a part of why anyone survived, but it's also skill. Determination. You beat back their attack and have grown in power. You have made decisions that helped you prosper.”

I leaned back. “So you know the twins.”

“Led and Ziamili,” he said, a smile spread on his lips. “I do know them. They are an oddity. They came together, were given dungeons that, as far as I can tell, are side by side. They are probably interwoven, one flowing into the other. I do not know if this has ever happened before. It makes them dangerous. Ziamili is the enforcer. He is the strong one. Older. He's calm, normally, but he has a temper and can be provoked.”

“Okay,” I said. “And he has which of the runes?”

“Earth and Metal.”

I thought so. I had figured out as much from what I'd gleaned from the monster girls. He was the one I had to kill. But Led was dangerous to. He had Light and Ice. They were interesting combinations of magic.

“Led is the planner. The brains. He is the one that no doubt came up with the assault on your dungeon, though he would have entrusted the execution to his brother. They make a dangerous team.”

I nodded. My plan to assault their dungeon was out of the question. I had to find a way to lure them to attack mine. How? I leaned back in my throne, chatting with Fuegin for a while longer. Nothing that helped. Nothing that mattered for my goal of defeating the Twins.

I had to figure out this problem. Ziamili was rash. He could be provoked. He was the one I wanted to kill. They were comfortable sending all their forces to attack. It had to be the dwarves they enslaved. They must also guard the temple, too.

I had to do something dangerous.
