My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem-Chapter 1633

I made sure that the portal closed behind us. I felt a little better to not have the pressure of her party bearing down on me, but that only lasted a moment as I looked out over the bay. I hadn’t teleported into the city, but to the shoreline where the dungeon entrance had formed. It seemed like the safest place, as I didn’t want to startle anyone. The sea was filled with ships sailing in. Some were in the midst of battles with other ships. A few were acting defensively, trying to prevent them from landing, but the majority were trying to flee, only to be shot down with magic spells.

“No fog…” one of the girls from Titan’s fall commented.

“The fog would only get in the way,” Alysia spoke up, causing the girls to all glance at me. “They want to stop word of this from getting to the mainland. They’re aiming to take over the islands completely.”

It wasn’t a particularly bad idea. Their plan had been made without expecting me to be there. There was no particular reason the fey would believe I could make a portal into and out of the dungeon. I had only used that ability once in front of Kaia, and that was using my dungeon as a power source to make a portal I normally wouldn’t have had the mana reserves to cover. This place was isolated, and compared to the pirate’s cover, it was a step up.

Anyone who died in the dungeon was still trapped by the rules of the dungeon. They couldn’t be reincarnated outside of the dungeon, so as long as they could create an impenetrable blockade, it could be months before anyone found out. With all of the heads of the Ost Republic trapped here, the southern continent wouldn’t be able to respond to the invasion at all. Aberis would be completely clueless as the fey invaded a little bit at a time.

“The dungeon should be collapsing soon with the core gone.” Anne sniffed. “They won’t be able to hide for very long.”

“I wonder…” I responded quietly.

“Hmm?” Anne glanced at me.

“Ah, just having a thought.” I shook my head. “Were the fey aware that the peace talks were going on?”

“How could they have known such a thing?” Anne immediately dismissed it. “You’re giving them too much credit.”

I wasn’t so sure about that either. Looking at the plumes of smoke rising in the distance, various fires spread over the dark landscape of the main island, and the sound of screaming in the distance, I wished I had portaled much closer.

“Deek!” Eliana’s Slave communication which had been mostly quiet up until now suddenly went activated, and I could hear her distressed voice.

The only reason I had been able to survey the situation calmly was that Eliana hadn’t called on me. I had hoped she and the rest of the council were in a relatively safe position on the island. The invasion had only just started, so it stood to reason they hadn’t made it too far yet.

“Alysia, we’re going. Chance, keep up!” I didn’t wait any longer, instead of pushing off the ground and leaping toward the city and the center of the battle.
