Building Harem And Dungeon With Monster Girls-Chapter 186: Minecraft

"Lord Leo," whispered Souleen. "Don't do this."

"I have to. They're out of control. I have to defeat them."

"Yes, yes, but this anger..." She rose to her feet, standing on the pinnacle of the Crystal. "You don't want to be a monster, do you?"

I closed my eyes. "No. But..." The yuki-onna's eyes rose. "How long can I withstand this before I stop caring?"

"We won't let you stop caring!" Souleen looked so fierce. So motherly. "Your monster girls and I will support you. We'll be there for you, Lord Leo. You won't have to do this alone. Okay? You'll have us to aid you."

I nodded. Then I winced. "I left Halia outside."

"She'll be fine," she said. "When you've revived your monster girls, they can go fetch her. Make sure she's safe."

I sighed. "How can I replace them when I find the next Mana Vein?" I stared at Souleen. "I made them. They're all unique and wonderful."

I remembered creating Sviesos. The first monster girl I conjured out of the ether. I gave her life. I spoke her name, and she sprang into being. I was the god who created her. But did that give me the right to condemn her to endless sleep?

"They'll do it for you," Souleen said, smiling.

"And then when I get Level 3 Monster Girls, I retire them, too?" I growled. "I'll have to, won't I? I have to upgrade to win. That's how video games work, and this world... Fuck, it's some twisted game. Some messed up online game, only I'm here in the flesh."

"I don't know what those words mean," she said. "Online? Video?"

"Don't worry about it." I closed my eyes. "I have a lot more mana."

"You killed a lot of monster girls today. You can easily double the number of monster girls you have and greatly expand your dungeon."

I felt all the slumbering monster girls. First, I would restore them to life. Could I really replace them, though? Could I condemn them to sleep for eternity? It didn't feel right to do that. Yes, it felt expedient. The easy choice.

The monstrous one.

I didn't want to be a monster. A demon feared by the world. I wanted to show them that I was their friend. That there was one Dungeon Builder who wasn't an asshole. I had to be different. I loved all my monster girls. My adorable wildhounds, my sexy mermaids, my delicious oozes, my busty satyrs, and my electric will o' wisps.

I awakened my mother first. I placed my dryad in the hot springs next to Garnet. My mother would comfort her. Garnet needed that right now. Lana Fulmine I put in the room with me. She appeared in a flash of shadows, her back arching.

"We won?" she asked. freёwebnoѵel.com

"Barely," I told her. "You don't even know what happened here, do you? They attacked the dungeon."

"Oh, my," Lana said, her face horrified.

As I awakened the other monster girls, I told her about what had occurred. I placed the mermaids and oozes, the will o' wisps and wildhounds, and the satyrs in the hot spring. Then I added Paanee and Baaghi. They all needed a break. A chance to relax. From what I knew of the twins, their domain was so far away, that there was no reaching us for days.

We had some time to regroup and recover.

"Lana," I said. "Halia's outside in a wagon. We had to leave her. Can you bring her in? I want to create a special room for her."

"Of course," Lana said, her face so sad.

I stood for some time in silence. I could hear the splash of the monster girls in the hot springs while I thought about what to do next. I glanced at Souleen. "How do I go about finding Mana Veins?"

"They flow through the world, but there's no predicting their path," she said. "This room is where one flows through your dungeon. There will be others in this mountain range. They don't flow far. Only a mile from their wellspring to their terminus. You just have to expand in the right direction."

I shook my head. "I need to treat this like looking for diamonds in Minecraft."

Her tiny brow furrowed. I grabbed the stone and concentrated on the dungeon. From the throne room on, I made a single tunnel that led to the exit cave. I picked up Lana in the process and placed her at the very edge of the base.

Suddenly, I realized just how much more I had to build.

"I have to build test shafts," I said. "I have to go out in different directions. Once I find the Mana Vein, then I can build a new dungeon around the point."

"Oh, wow," said Souleen. "That's smart. That's how they find diamonds in your world?"

"In Minecraft," I said, smiling. "Let's just allow Lana some time to get Halia, then we can begin."

"Right!" Souleen said. "You're going to find the power and get so much stronger."

I nodded. My Level 1 Monster Girls did do some damage. They fought with the help of the stronger companions. What if I mixed in Level 2 with them? Let them aid each other. Could that work?

I hoped so. I wouldn't be a monster.
