Dungeon Annihilation 2 - 3

Morning Everyone! Why such an early post you ask? I had to wake up three hours earlier than normal to take my daughter to school. lol. Enjoy!

I stared at the woman that we took from the town. Her unholy mana was a bit denser than the others besides maybe the chain user. She was still knocked out in a cell I made for her. A few hunters literally stared at her without blinking in case she did anything stupid upon awakening. 

“It appears the town didn’t appreciate you taking the necromancer,” Set said appearing next to me.

I chuckled. Served them right. “They notice anything?”

“It might be best if we keep our use of the shadow realm down for a few days. I heard some of the mages mention the use of dark magic. While they might not be able to find us while we are inside, they might be able to track it with enough data.”

“I don’t have too many plans for the town for a while. Maybe check out the tournament. I wanted to get some practice in my other form with a few weapons.” Set remained silent for a few moments, but she appeared to want to say something. “Out with it,” I said figuring it was about my safety or something similar.

“I was eavesdropping at the adventurer’s guild. If we don’t do something, adventurers might stop coming due to the high death rate of the dungeon.”

“Is that what you were musing about?” I asked then gave her a mental grin. “Don’t worry. I knew perfectly well what motivates people to do things, and as such, I have a plan.”

Set nodded, satisfied I was thinking about the overall health of the dungeon. I turned back to my prisoner. I hadn’t interrogated the other necromancers yet. The attack had only been two days ago and with everything going on, I hadn’t taken the time to deal with them yet. I was also worried I might break them and they were giving me a nice chunk of mana. 

I extended a tendril of shadow and sent a jolt of electricity into the sleeping woman. She jerked awake, jumping to her feet. “What’s going on!? Where am I?” she yelled looking around.

“In a cell, of course,” I said forming my shadow monster avatar. She locked onto my voice then stared at me. 

“You!” she said before her nose started to bleed. She dropped to her knees as another puddle formed under her. Being in my dungeon, I instantly knew she both wet and climaxed herself at the same time. “Death personified!”

“I like it. What is your name?” I was glad she didn’t pass out, but this reaction had me wondering what exactly she could see.

“Julie! Master, no, my lord!” She answered grabbing the bars of her cell with a fervent expression. 

“What can you see?” I asked simply, moving my tendril over her face. I sent the shadowy mass into her eye surprised that she reached climax several times just from that. Using my mana, I connected with her nerves and the world changed around me. In a sort of double vision, I was looking about both Julie and myself.

In her sight was more than just me. A shroud of darkness lingered behind me with what looked like faces. So many faces it was impossible to count, but just from a look I somehow knew there were billions. But there was something else, an oppressive and cold feeling, and almost instinctively I knew what it meant. I had destroyed a universe. 

Pulling back from the woman, she collapsed to the ground twitching. Most of the orifices on her face were bleeding and she had gone in a spasm from climaxing so many times during the brief connection. I kneeled with a grin. “I think we’ll get along just fine, Julie.”

“There is something wrong with that mortal,” Set commented as we walked away.

I glanced back before looking at Set. “Most mortals have their kink. I just happened to be the ultimate form of hers.”

The sun was starting to set outside meaning most of the adventurers that had attempted the dungeon today were leaving. I had plenty of mana thanks to the killing spree of undead as well as the necromancers and undead that were still in my dungeon feeding me tainted mana. It was as good a time as any to grow my dungeon some more.

Moving above the workshop, I came to my garden as I was starting to call it. Maybe forest would be more adapt, but no forest was planned like this. The plants I had gotten from the town had flourished throughout the floor in the few days it had been. I wasn’t too worried about if adventurers managed to get this far. Most of the plants had their worth after all. If anything, it would be a great draw for people once they reached this level.

“What should I do for monsters though?” I mumbled looking the floor over.

Dryads would be the way to go, but I would have to create them from scratch. Mentally thinking about the monster list I had available to me. I found my link to the automata had weakened significantly. Given that I hadn’t used it once that would explain it. Magic did tend toward being similar to muscles on this world.

It might not be a bad idea to create something just so I don’t lose that option down the road. Robots were frighteningly hard to deal with after all. Moving away from that for now, I examined all my possible paths I could take. None of my calculations paned out to a dryad though. 

Looking through the floor, I decided some explosive evolution was needed. I chose a few plants at random and began feeding them mana. I had a nice selection, and I used several dozen permutations to get as many results as possible. It wasn’t long before the first transformation happened. A weed had absorbed a large amount of fire mana and grew into a flaming bush.

“This might be more fun than I thought.”

~~~

A few hours and more mana than I cared to admit later, I had a lot of new creations in the Garden. A few of the trees had managed to become both treants and dryads. I had gained some other aspect confused plants as well. There was a flower that froze the air around it, a herb that turned whatever ate it to stone, and many more interesting things.

I had considered adding some goblins and oni to the mix, but wasn’t sure of that yet. Just my few experiments with the plants had cost me the mana I’d built up the last two days. I had a bit more that I wanted to use on the Garden but something like that might cost more than I was willing to put out at the moment.

“The Garden is looking much more energetic,” Set commented appearing above the floor.

“Maybe a bit too energetic,” I replied with a laugh.

“Are you done with it then?”

I looked the Garden over but couldn’t help but feel something was missing. Then I realized that all my other floors had a theme. The choice was obvious as soon as I thought of it. I looked through the floor and found one of the dryads that I’d managed to make. 

She was the most powerful somewhere around tier one level eight. The dryad had taken the appearance of a green haired young woman with crystals hanging from her hair. She had originated from a tree that had green crystals growing out of the bark. A hybrid of a tree and the plant the herbalist warned me about. I suppose it was my fault, but her nature was decidedly wicked.

I moved my presence down next to the girl. She looked at me with a glare and didn’t say anything. More do to the fact she didn’t know how to. She was a tree a few minutes ago after all. I concentrated on the girl then began flooding her tree with mana all while focusing on both making her the boss for this level and flooding the Garden with the theme.

The tree exploded upward as it grew rapidly. It was soon over forty or fifty meters tall. The Garden’s folded space allowed for plenty of growth. The young woman didn’t change too much as the mana took hold. When it finally came to an end, the green haired woman with some elvish features stood in front of me.

She radiated sexual appeal. Where Greed had been entrancing for anyone looking at her. Lust seemed to latch onto every part of your body to try and pull you into her grasp. I grabbed Set as she started moving forward slowly. “Not so fast. We really need to work on your mental defenses.” Ever since the incident with Greed, I had been practicing various methods with Greed trying her best to break through them.

“My… my apologies.”

“Well. If it affects you, then I would call that a success.” Looking back to Lust, she was sitting in a provocative position and was gesturing for me. “By the way. What do you see when you look at her?”

“Huh?” Set said confused. She looked over at Lust then quickly looked away. “A very beautiful woman only with a member that would bring shame to most men.” 

I looked at Lust, but only saw a beautiful woman that most if not all men might try to kill to be with. Lust might be a bit overpowered for the people of this world. Especially if she is even able to appeal to women as well as men. I had thought the parties with women might be able to control their men. 

“Well. What will be will be.”
