My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem-Chapter 1629

When I had ended up on the Faerie Plains, I had been half of a man. I was filled with anger and loneliness. I had fought for my life in the Twilight dungeon and had been deprived of my harem of girls for a long time. I was possibly at my lowest point, and when the fey started to advance on me while treating humans like trash and slaves, I had grown angry. I recalled the name of the woman I had killed. It was Nerissa. She wasn’t the first person I had ever killed, and she wouldn’t be the last.

At the time, it had seemed like the best option. I had feared Nerissa would cause trouble for me if I left her alive, so I had killed her. I had left her sister alive though, never thing that the tame and peaceful Kaia would change so much. It had only been a few months, but she had hardened a lot. Her once naïve eyes that sort of reminded me of my own when I first came to this world were gone. She was a hard woman, the kind of person who would stab someone in the back whom she had promised to negotiate with.

The human rebellion on the Faerie Plains had ended so pitifully, that it was kind of sad. Demetri, who had once been saved by Kaia, had trusted her to talk peace with him honestly. Meanwhile, I was sure her family told her that this was her last chance to fix the mistakes she had caused. It was abundantly clear which choice she had made.

“Great Human King, we await the day of your return!”

Those were the last words that Demetri had left for me. Yet, I hadn’t even made a single attempt to return. I had almost completely forgotten about the fey. On the list of things, I had to do, it was so far back on my list that it might as well not exist. Had they not invaded, I might not have ever honored that promise. Yet, that man had died believing in me, and this woman had become a monster becomes of my actions. Was this entire invasion my fault? Was I the reason they were here? freewebnσvel.cѳm

It wasn’t like I had any more time to ponder this question. It was only a moment after we finished talking that a slot opened in the floor and a pedestal began to raise out of it. On top of the pedestal was a shining orb, the dungeon core. No, it was the human core.

At the same time, Carmine began to glow with light. Most of her armor was in pieces now. The majority of her body was exposed, the undergarments filled with cuts and bruises. She hadn’t looked at me once, even when I shouted her name. Her eyes were blank, staring ahead. This was some kind of puppetry magic. I was certain of that.

“Let her go!” I shouted, taking a step forward.

“Hehe… will she even go with you?” Kaia asked teasingly as the glow stopped, and I could see a completed blessing on Carmine’s arm. “Carmine, go fetch the orb for us.”

“No! Carmine, stop!” I called out. “It’s me, Deek. I’m here.”

Carmine did stop for just a moment, but then she started walking toward the orb. I cursed, using Phase shift to lunge for the orb. When I got close to it, I felt a burning in my arm. A powerful strike shot out and I stumbled back. It was the girls from Titan’s Fall that caught me.

“Oops…” Kaia laughed, lifting her arm. “It looks like you didn’t complete the blessing.”
