My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem

Alysia’s panicked, haggard look grew even more frantic. Meanwhile, I was spamming spells. I had full mana thanks to the fact that Octius was controlling my body. That gave me room. Armor. Reinforce. Heal. Refresh. My body was glowing with white light as I healed my wounds and increased my strength. With every second, Alysia grew weaker, and I grew even stronger. Best of all, with Octius in control of my movements, they were moving automatically. I felt so free, unconstrained by a body that usually didn’t want to listen.

I leapt into the air doing splendid jumps, chopping, cutting and dodging around the slower woman. The pair of us together was like an unstoppable team. One body controlled by two people. At this point, my body was so numb I couldn’t even feel his influence. It was like the pair of us were moving as one!

“I don’t get it.” Lydia murmured. “If he’s not being puppeted, then how is he keeping up with Alysia?”

“Ah? You girls didn’t know?” Octius raised an eyebrow.

“What is it?” Miki asked worriedly.

“I already spoke of Alysia having limitations. It is also true that Deek limits himself as well.”

“W-we’re holding him back?” Terra asked worriedly.

“Not at all… I’m afraid in his case. It’s Deek who holds himself back. He’s too reserved in his movements. He fears truly hurting others, and doesn’t realize his own strength.” Octius explained casually as they watched the frantic fight. “Although I won’t say he could fight Alysia head-on when they’re both at their best, he’s full of tricks that most fighters don’t think of. That’s a benefit of being a supporter. He’s loaded with things he can do to change the tide of a battle. At this point, the battle has already been decided. He can heal, and Alysia is too injured. Her own support has been knocked out. Deek is like a warrior with a full party supporting him all by himself, while Alysia is just an injured dragon on its last legs. The difference is too superior.”

“Deek…” The girls all looked on as if they were seeing something about me for the first time.

“What you see now is Deek without limitations. He’s still convinced he’s being controlled, so he’s not holding back at the moment. Watch carefully, girls. This is the Deek you need to bring out. This is the one who will bring down dungeons and fight Demon Lords. Well, that’s just a border general’s wishful thinking. I’m sure you girls have your own plans for your master.”

The fight wore on for a few more minutes, but Alysia was already down to one knee.

“I can’t lose!” Alysia shouted. “I must complete my mission!”

“I cast Meteor…” I said simply, causing her eyes to widen. “But, you were there… and you already knew that.”

She glanced down a feeling of defeat and shame on her face. She knew my words were true. She just didn’t want to believe it was me who cast that spell. She allowed herself to doubt it because others who weren’t there didn’t see it. She had always known, but it was easier to lie to herself and say it was some kind of artifact or something. She didn’t want to believe it, because then it would cause me even more trouble.

“Why did you admit it…” Alysia said, tears welling in her eyes. “The Ost Republic… I have to report to them about this… and they may even send assassins after you.”

“Then… report it.” I responded. “And send your assassins. Send anyone you want. You were right, Alysia. I’m not strong. But you were also wrong.”

She looked up wonderingly. “What is it?”

“You don’t have to be strong enough to save this world.” I declared. “You just have to be willing to put aside your differences and work together. It’s not you against the world, it’s all of us, against our world enemy! Let’s end this…. Final Blow!”

“Fatal Strike!” She called to deflect it.

Our blades collided in a frightening strike. All of my remaining power erupted against hers, and the conclusion was made.

Alysia went flying back, the tattered remains of her clothing flying off as her naked body flew off the edge of the cliff. Only as she flew away did I realize how dangerous things were. She was covered in hundreds of wounds and fought to exhaustion.

{Last Chance has triggered. You have 1 remaining hp.}

Well, I wasn’t much better. Casting Heal and Refresh, I ran to the edge and leapt off after her. I heard cries behind me, but I ignored them as I reached out to Alysia. Her eyes were still open, and she was looking up at me with an indiscernible look. My arms wrapped around her body just as we hit the water, plunging into the cold depths below.

A few minutes later, Titan’s Fall, Deek’s Party, and Octius had all made their way down to the beach, looking around desperately for their fallen companions. The water broke, and a shirtless, somewhat muscular man emerged from it. In his arms was a beauty, whose size, rather than making him appear like a child, only emphasized the rippling muscles on his bare arms and chest. He wore pants, but they had been shattered to pieces, showing his nice toned legs.

As for the woman, she was completely naked, her eyes closed and chest rising rhythmically. It looked like a sailor had reached into the depth and emerged with a mermaid in his arms. Her skin was perfect, and there wasn’t a bruise or cut on her. Of course, he had healed all of that. The man walked without stopping, emerging on to the beach with confident, mighty strides as he approached the group of women, the expression on his face stoic.

“Dibs!” one of the girls on Titan’s Fall calls out.

“Shut up. He’s Alysia’s!”

“Yeah, he is…”Another girl winked.

“My… my… perhaps I should have Deek sooner rather than later. He might become too much man for me to handle soon.” Octius purred.

‘Don’t you dare!” Shao pouted.

“Brother, where the hell have you been! Ah, Deek? He’s really rescuing another woman?” Otto was running up.

“Another!”

Despite the previous tense atmosphere, things were rather relaxed.
