Dungeon Builder's Harem Book 05 Ch. 58-59

Chapter Fifty-Eight

Lana Fulmine dropped off Terra on the back of the dragon by Baaghi and Bjorni. The dragon breathed a large swath of acid, cashing Morana and Paanee. The lightning sprite's heart tore as she took off back into the air, watching the monster girls dying.

Vilkas jumped up on the dragon's back, the lightning wolf rushed up the dragon's back to join the three other monster girls. Lana Fulmine hoped they could do something. She felt so useless as she fired a blast of lightning that did nothing.

Feya swung her wand, striking the dragon near the eye in a beam of light. The beast roared and turned so fast. Her head snapped out. The fairy flapped her wings. They beat as she struggled to change her direction.

The jaws snapped down on her, crushing her in a burst of sparks.

"What do we do, Leo?" she cried as he fired a blast of lightning at the dragon.

It crackled across her hide.

"I don't know," he said and soared off to the right.

Esclava whirled in, burning hot. The dragon turned to face the firewhirl and breathed. Acid slammed into the flaming tornado. The acidic breath swirled around with the burning vortex. They washed together.

"Metal missiles fly, let the spikes of Lord Nabu pierce!"

Metal stakes struck the dragon's head and neck, piercing through the scales as she kept breathing. The bitch didn't care about the damage they took. She guarded the king's ruined pavilion. Esclava's firewhirl turned, the acid choking off the flames.

The fire went out.

"No!" Leo cried.

Another monster girl dead.

Despair weighed down on Lana Fulmine.

* * / *

Kassie trembled as she moved with Halia through the ruins. The dragon loomed over them. The halfling mage clutched at her amulet. She had to do something. The dragon was murdering them. Blood dripped from her muzzle.

She could be hurt.

Kassie focused on that. She could be hurt. "Izi Zum!"

A blast of fire burst from Kassie and hurtled through the air. It smote the dragon in the head. The flames rippled over her scales. The dragon snarled, her head flinching. Hope soared in Kassie seeing the wounds on the dragon.

"She's getting weakened," Kassie said.

"Hit her again," Halia said, holding her humming blade.

"Izi Zum!"

The second burst of fire hit near the jaw. The dragon roared and breathed acid at Lord Leo. He soared through the sky, dodging the attack. The dragon shifted her stance. The ground shook with her every step.

"Izi Zum!"

Her flames struck the dragon in the nose. Fire curled around her nostrils. Kassie gripped her amulet as the dragon snapped her jaws shut. Her wings folded in, her eyes scanning the ground. Fear squeezed about Kassie's heart.

The dragon spotted them. Eyes full of rage and contempt stared at the halfling.

"Izi Zum!"

The dragon's watery breath burst from her mouth, a flood of acid surging right for Kassie and Halia. The mage stared at her death. A calm fell on her. She fought for Lord Leo, the savior of her people.

* * / *

"Lady Sherida, shield us from our enemies!"

The prayer burst from Halia's mouth as she stepped up before Kassie and pointed her blessed blade at the incoming acid. Light burst around them. A brilliance that engulfed Halia and Kassie. Her faith manifested in radiance.

The acid engulfed the light. It sizzled against the purity of Halia's belief. She knew Lord Leo was the way. He was the hope for this world. Every sinew in her flesh, every drop of blood in her veins, every breath in her lungs had faith in him. He would prevail.

Her light armored them. Protected them. She stood strong. Resolute beneath it. She would not waver. The dragon would not crush her belief. They would win. The roaring died down. The world sizzled around them. The acidic reek stung her nose.

The light died down to reveal them on an island, puddles of acid sinking into the ground, devouring it as melted tents, stakes of wood, ropes, and the bodies. Kassie stepped up beside Halia, looking around at the destruction then back at the monster.

"What can we do against her?" Kassie asked. "Besides annoy her."

"Believe in Leo!" Halia said, pointing at him soaring through the sky. A boulder crashed into the dragon's head, bursting into stone. She roared in fury. "Believe, Kassie!"

* * / *

"Come on!" His mother cried.

"No!" Siwang fought against his mother's pull. He stared at the fight as she dragged him towards the tunnel that led to the safety of Leo's dungeon. "I have to fight!"

"You can't!" she cried.

The dragon's acidic breath hurtled at Halia and Kassie. Light burst from the paladin a moment before the torrent engulfed them. The dissolving liquid splashed across the ground and washed towards them.

"You're not strong enough!" Xiongbu cried.

The flood rushed towards them. Siwang relented, letting his mother pull him down into the dungeon. Embarrassment flushed through him as they fled. He had to get stronger. He had to become Leo's equal. There was no choice at all.

He was useless.

A parasite until he could become stronger.

Acid washed down the stairs of the dungeon, dissolving the stone. Siwang watched it drip closer, smoke rising. He needed power. Leo sheltered him too much. His hands balled into fists. "Next time," he whispered. "Next time, I'll stand with you."

If there was a next time. How could Leo defeat this monster?

Chapter Fifty-Nine

How do I beat her?

The thought echoed over and over in my mind as I flew over the bitch. I had to switch tactics. Maybe I had to blind her. I found the right Light spell as she turned her attention back to the air. On her back, my monster girls were crouched low, struggling not to fall.

This was hopeless, but...

I could not give up. Everyone was counting on me.

"Sunlight explodes, let the radiance of Lord Shamash erupt!"

A blinding light exploded before the dragon. A miniature sun burned before her eyes. She screamed in draconic pain and ripped her head from the source. Hope surged through me. Maybe I had blinded her. If she couldn't see.

Her head snapped back, and her eyes focused on me.

"Shit!"

Acid exploded from her mouth.

* * / *

Terra watched the spray of acid streak across the air at Leo. He flew ahead of it while the breath spread out into a deadly rain that fell back on the camp. The soldiers must be running in every direction by now, fleeing their own defender.

"Come on," Terra said as she watched Baaghi, Bjorni, and Vilkas tearing at the scales.

"Hard!" snarled Vilkas.

"Let me!" Terra shifted her balance as the dragon moved and raised both her fists shaped into hammers. She slammed them down together.

They struck, her big breasts heaving. Cracks ran across two of the scales she struck. She raised her arms again and crashed them down on the armored hide. A chunk of the hardened protection snapped off and struck Bjorni in the stomach. The bugbear snarled and grabbed the other half.

She ripped with her mouth.

Baaghi joined her. The two monster girls tore at the broken scales. Blood welled up from beneath. They ripped the protection free, exposing flesh beneath. Vilkas crackled, her electric tail swishing back and forth.

"We're opening a wound!" cried Terra as she stepped back.

The dragon shifted, her body moving beneath Terra. The golem planted her feet wide, shifting her body with the rocking, and raised her fist. She slammed them down on a new set of scales. The dark-blue cracked again. She hammered at them as Vilkas darted in and tore.

Scarlet ran around their feet and stained the muzzle of the three monster girls tearing up the scales. They ripped a wider hole in the dragon's defense as Leo's voice filled the air with his magical spells. The dragon shuddered and shifted, her tail swishing.

"Yes, we have an opening!" Terra cried as they had exposed a spot six or seven feet across.

"Incoming!" Nina Naughty shouted in Terra's mind

A flaming pitchfork plunged down into the wound. It buried deep. Blood sizzled and smoked. The dragon roared in pain. Terra grinned and slammed her hammers down into the wound, striking the exposed flesh.

Tenderizing it.

Howling, Vilkas ripped at the dragon's flesh, ripping it out. Baaghi and Bjorni joined her in the grisly feast, eating their way through the outer layers of the dragon's skin to the muscle beneath. Terra grinned, blood dripping from her hammer-fists.

"Got you," she breathed.

* * / *

Garnet soared up to her big brother as the dragon breathed acid.

"What are you doing?" he asked. "It's dangerous around me."

"I know!" The succubus beat her wings. "I'm your shield, big bro! It's all I can do!"

"Shield?" He stared at her in shock.

"I can't hurt her, but I can defend my big brother!" She stared at him with love. "I won't be useless. I'll keep you safe. Dark Succubus Naughty Garnet is your guardian!"

For a moment, a smile spread on his lips. He nodded.

He turned and studied the dragon. Nina Naughty flew over and threw a flaming pitchfork that hit the beast on her back. Terra, Bjorni, Baaghi, and Vilkas had done something. Terra had shouted it in their minds. Blood spilled across the dragon.

"Yes," Leo said.

"They've opened a wound!" Garnet cried.

Leo soared for it. Garnet followed, her wings beating.

The dragon bent her head around and breathed acid across her own back. The four monster girls ripping into her flesh vanished in the deluge. The dissolving liquid spilled off the dragon's back. Smoke rose from her wound, her acid sizzling against her own flesh.

Garnet's stomach sank. The four brave monster girls were gone.

* * / *

I stared at the hole. Hope burst in me. Four of my monster girls had died giving me the opening to hurt her. "Everyone," I cried in my mind, "Hit that wound! Unload on her!"

My surviving monster girls flying in the air all soared at the dragon. Nina Naughty, Mrs. Lucina, Lana Fulmine, Alizee, and Paetu rushed at the beast as I focused on the wound. Garnet flew at my side, bravely ready to die for me.

I had to end this.

"The sharpness of ice cuts, let the razors of Lord Anshar slash!"

Shards of ice hurtled from me. The glittering blades slammed into the wound. The dragon's head snapped back. She roared as blood splattered. Her acidic breath sprayed out at me. Garnet gasped, her hand grabbing mine as she flapped her wings fast.

As the dragon's breath rained down on the camp, my other flying monster girls swooped in. Mrs. Lucina's halo erupted with light. Blades of air from Alizee and pitchforks of flames from Nina Naughty. Lana Fulmine's wings exploded with lightning. Paetu flew into the edges of the dragon's acidic spray and caught it with her wind.

She threw a ball of the dragon's own acid into the wound. It smoked. The dragon's tail slashed behind her as she snarled in pain. I flew over the dragon, staring at the wound. It was still small. It was little more than a small cut for her.

We weren't doing enough.

"Isatu, I need you!" I shouted in my mind. We were weakening this dragon, but we weren't beating her. She whittled down my forces bit by bit.

"Yes!" my dragon shouted in my mind.

She burst out of one of the tunnels, her red form standing out amid the destruction. I reached out to my connection to her. I felt it. I closed my eyes and sacrificed the mana vein with the words resonating through my soul.

"Ancient and beloved lineage, let the true nature of Isatu shine! Accept my sacrifice of power, Lord Usumgallu and Lady Palil, and awaken your descendant!"

I fed the power of the Mana Vein into Isatu. I poured the power of the world into her flesh.

She expanded.

My dragon roared as she grew bigger and bigger. Her wings spread wide. Her neck elongated. She crashed onto all fours as she expanded. Her tail swished behind her. She grew bigger than a house. Her horns curled up from her head. She looked deadly. Dangerous.

And she was still only half the size of the enemy.

Roaring, Isatu jumped on the large dragon. The ancient beast turned her head, but Isatu was faster. My dragon's claws tore into the blue scales. Her head snapped down at the wound and bit. She tore out chunks of the flesh.

The ancient bitch roared in pain.

"Yes!" Garnet cheered. "Go, go, go, Lady Isatu! Yes, yes! Dragon Lady Fiery Isatu!

Isatu's fire burst from her maw. She poured it into the wound. Smoke rose. The bitch arched her back and twisted around. She slammed her back down on the ground, crushing Isatu and a large swath of the camp, exposing the water dragon's belly.

Isatu roared beneath as the ancient bitch rolled back over. But my Isatu held on. Her claws ripped down the enemy's side, leaving vast rents in the flesh. Burst of fire exploded up from Kassie, hitting those wounds. My flying monster girls surged over and threw their own attacks, hitting the exposed wounds.

I flew after.

Isatu bit at the base of the ancient dragon's neck. Her teeth sunk into the enemy, red tail swishing. The blue dragon's wings flapped as she twisted her head around. She breathed acid that engulfed Isatu's right wing.

The membrane stretched between the wing bones melted. My dragon roared in pain and ripped free another chunk of flesh. Blood sprayed across the ground. The ancient beast snarled, cutting off her breath.

The two roared as the smaller Isatu's claws dug deep into the older dragon's flanks. Light flashed from Halia, engulfing Isatu's jaws. She bit again, a savage bite that ripped out another chunk of scales and muscle from the older dragon's neck.

"Come on," I growled as I waited for my opening.

The older dragon seized Isatu's throat and crushed. The bitch ripped Isatu off her back. My dragon hit the ground, her melted wing flapping. Isatu spasmed on the ground, her mouth opening in a roar. I had to stop this.

"Metal missiles fly, let the spikes of Lord Nabu pierce!"

Metal stakes slammed into the dragon's wounds. Blood burst. She roared as she crunched Isatu's throat. My dragon spasmed. Flames burst from her maw for a moment only to be cut off. The monster slammed her claws down on Isatu's belly and ripped her open.

"The sharpness of ice cuts, let the razors of Lord Anshar slash!" I screamed.

The razor shards of ice slammed into the dragon's wounds, cutting deeper into her neck.

Isatu spasmed as her entrails spilled out. Her body kicked then she exploded into motes. Her entire body swirled with energy. She died and vanished into motes, hurtling back into the embrace of Souleen and my Void Crystal.

"YOU BITCH!" Garnet screamed and threw a shadowy dildo that slapped the dragon in the neck. Right In the bleeding wound.

"Metal missiles fly, let the spikes of Lord Nabu pierce!"

The Volley of Spikes tore into the dragon's neck. She swayed, her blood gushing from the wound. Her claws dug at the ground. Hope surged through me. Isatu had damaged the bitch badly. Blades of air slammed down on the wound, cutting deeper into the flesh. A flaming pitchfork and beam of light crashed into it.

Garnet threw another dildo that burst with golden light and struck the dragon with a burst.

Fire flew from Kassie below.

"Hurtling down the mountain, let the boulder of Lord Abzu crush!"

The boulder slammed into her damaged neck with a sickening crunch. Her body collapsed. Her head slammed down on the ground. She didn't move. Through the blood, I glimpsed the white of vertebrae. I had snapped her spine.

Energy exploded from her. Like with Isatu, the massive power that animated her into that size vanished. She swirled down into the form of a woman lying amid the destruction. She didn't just die like the death dragon or my very own Isatu.

She didn't return to her owner.

She was a wild dragon.

Her human form pushed up on her hands and knees. I had to get down there. I had to claim her. I soared to the ground and opened my robes. She had appeared near the edge of the camp, away from most of the destruction.

"Yes!" Garnet cried.
