My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem-Chapter 896
Chapter 896
A look of triumph appeared on her face. All of this was happening with miasma within my body though. The girls, as focused on the battle as they were, weren’t able to see what happened. Calypso had sent all of her Bandits into the ring now, and while Lydia and Terra were still landing blows on the barrier and it was covered in cracks, it might be another five minutes before they were finally able to breakthrough. Considering they were breaking through the laws set out by the Dungeon Master using the full strength of her dungeon, even getting this far could have been considered impossible.
As quickly as Calypso smiled in triumph, her smile dropped, and a look of confusion, and then horror painted her face. As the knife went into my soul, rather than cut it, it merged with it. Combining my affinity with miasma with Absorb, I had managed to directly convert her miasma, and use it to nourish my soul. She tried to pull it back, but now a stream of her miasma was seized by my soul. I began to consume it. Miasma began to flow out of Calypso, into me.
“No!” She cried out, feeling her power growing weaker.f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂
She was pulling her miasma from the dungeon itself, and now I was stealing that power and making it my own. This was the newly created skill, Soul Eater! In other words, this was a new combination skill, modifying Absorb with the mana derivative, miasma.
Strength flooded into my body, and I finally peeled myself from the wall. As the miasma flooded into my soul where it was consumed, my soul force exploded. My damaged soul, which had only been a sliver of its previous size, was now growing at an astronomical rate. However, as it grew, it was also changing. I was nourishing it with miasma, not mana, which meant my soul was becoming a karmic soul! I didn’t care though. This was the ultimate sacrifice I had to make. I wouldn’t allow Calypso to win now.
Sweat ran down her face, and she was panting as she desperately tried to sever the connection between us. However, doing this would be like cutting apart her soul! Who would have the resolve to do such a thing?
“Stop!” She cried out. “You can’t do this! I won’t let you!”
As my strength grew, so did the power of suction as I slowly consumed Calypso. At the moment, I hadn’t gotten to the point where I was eating her soul. Rather, I was munching down on the thick miasma of the dungeon. This quickly weakened the dungeon as a whole, and the new Bandits were being created slower and slower, and could no longer have the same strength as before. The pressure was taken off the girls at this point.
As the miasma of the dungeon started to weaken, I was able to get glimpses of her soul. I saw flashes of pain and suffering, memories of times long ago. I also saw something else that instantly caught my interest. It looked like some kind of source or connection. I instinctively reached for it through the bond. Feeling this, Calypso let out a shriek.
“You think you’ve won? Salicia! Kill him!”𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m
Salicia had stood to the side so silently that I had almost forgotten she was there. As soon as Calypso shouted the order, she pulled her weapon and attacked.
