My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem
Chapter 1656

Anger, rage, and fear seemed to twist in my stomach. I had never experienced an emotion like this. I had experienced loss before, but it had always been hot and sudden. Nothing had felt so cold as the moment that Kaia stabbed Eliana. I had even managed to save her, but in the end, I couldn’t save our child. I knew Anne was right even before she had spoken. I knew it the second Eliana was stabbed. There were things I could do, and things I couldn’t. This was something I could do.

I put Eliana down, and then closed and locked the cell. I then lifted my hand and began to cast a spell. A few short moments later, the familiar blue light appeared as a portal opened. After Calypso had stopped chuckling to herself, she had watched silently with some interest. When the portal opened, I pulled out the blade that Sapphire had given me and cut off Calypso’s restraints.

“Those eyes… I’ve seen those eyes before.”

I kneeled and picked up Eliana. “Come.”

I said nothing else as I stepped through the portal. Calypso rubbed her wrists but didn’t say anything as she stepped through. I heard some shouts of confusion from the other side of the cell, but I shut the portal closed before anyone could ask where I was going or what I was doing.

I was standing in a familiar hallway, the hallway of the fey Champion Gauntlet. Specifically, I was in front of the final door, the one leading to the dungeon boss. It had resealed itself since the last time I was there. I brought Eliana’s unconscious body close to the door, and it immediately started to glow. Her half-fey body was enough to trigger it.

“Oh, so is that your plan? If you defeat the dungeon boss, then the orb will reset. The dungeon will pull the human core back to the pedestal and present it to you. That’s an interesting theory. It might even work. I don’t know, though, can you defeat an SSS boss by yourself?” She asked.

“That’s why I brought you,” I responded, walking into the dungeon boss room as soon as the door finished opening.

“I may have the ability to deal with such a boss.” Calypso continued to speak as she followed me casually. “But, why would I help you?”

“You helped me before,” I answered as we walked into the boss room.

The pedestal had been reset, and standing in the middle was the sabretooth tiger. It turned to us, letting out a low grumble.

“You think that because I gave you the core once and you lost it, that I am in some way indebted to you?” She let out a laugh, crossing her arms. “Tell me, Deek. What will you do if you had it?”

I cautiously put Elaya down in a corner, looking down at her and gently stroking her cheek before I stood back up and faced the tiger. “I would absorb it, and then I would use it to kill them all.”

“The last person to do that became a monster.” Calypso sighed. “Like this, I have no intention of helping you get the human core.”

“I know…” I pulled out my blade.” That’s why I plan to take it from you!”

Just as the tiger went running forward, I spun around and slammed the blade into Calypso, stabbing her directly in the heart.
