My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem-Chapter 1627
The second to last blessing formed on my arm, and I started to grow a bit more cautious about it. Up until this point, I had been following along that this dungeon was a simple dungeon designed to challenge someone and offer a gift. I was learning that the dungeon’s origins were far more complicated than that. I could understand that the dungeon was designed to keep humans from reaching the human core, but why did they save it in the first place?
Why did they give people a blessing that strengthened them each step of the way? If the goal was to keep them from surviving, this blessing seemed counterintuitive. There were just far too many questions. Every answer only created another question. The biggest question of all was Calypso. What was her involvement in all of this? At first, I had just assumed she was knowledgeable, but her knowledge went above what was normal.
I pondered these things as we moved at a brisk pace for the last boss room. We couldn’t afford to take a break or think about it. Our only choice was to get to the dungeon before the other party. Thankfully, this last stretch was no worse than the previous paths. From beginning to end, the dungeon hadn’t given off any surprises for a change. There would be no mobs or traps on this hidden side path. As we approached the door to the boss room, it immediately started to open.
“We made it!” one of the Titan Fall girls cried out excitedly.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
I frowned as I looked at the door. It opened as we approached like it was expecting us. However, in the past, Cici had to first touch the door. It was only after she touched it that the door read her fairy magic and then opened it for us. This time, it happened far too quickly.
“Be ready for anything,” I whispered.
The group of us walked up into the boss room. We emerged into a large savanna-like plan. Lying dead appeared to be a massive sabertooth tiger. It was dead, and standing around it was a group of people. The one I recognized immediately was a paladin in white armor.
“Carmine!” I cried out before I could stop myself.
The people across from me, all Fey, immediately drew their swords, turning to us aggressively. As that happened, I began to realize the truth. The door had opened because they had just defeated the boss. We were too late. The two groups faced each other silently for a few moments, taking each other in. That’s when someone stepped out in front. She had long yellow hair, and she immediately pulled out a sword and pointed it at us.
“You! When we found the paladin, I should have known you would show up soon enough.” A woman grinned darkly. “I didn’t expect us to meet so soon, but now I’m glad that I have. It’s time for you to face your fate.”
I blinked, feeling like the girl was somewhat familiar, but it wasn’t quite clicking. “Who are you?”
“You dare!” She snapped. “I am the princess of Fey emporer, Kaia! You killed my sister. Now, die!” frёewebηovel.cѳm
