Chapter 1217
“Selena, begin the battle cry.” I ordered.
She began to sing, her voice letting out an invigorating tune that would buff allies. In the end, she wasn’t intelligent enough to be a general nor physically powerful enough to be a soldier. Her strength came from being able to use her voice to buff her allies and weaken her opponents. As the soldiers were invigorated, the armies began to march forward.fre ewebnovel.com
The door that the portal formed in was the entrance to my dungeon. However, instead of exiting out next to Chalm, they were moving through the entrance to Gram’s Passage. In essence, the way things worked was that a magical connection formed between my dungeon and his dungeon, causing them to link during a battle and sealing them off from any outside influence.
I wanted to go with them, but the dungeon master needed to be in their boss room during such an event, so I returned to my boss’s lair. Thankfully, I could see what was happening. I wasn’t sure if it was a function of the dungeon or something Elaya set up, but I could view the battle from each of my three lieutenants. I could see them enter the long pathway of Gram’s Passage. Since this attack was sudden, there was no one waiting for us.
“We need to find out where they are keeping the rest of this dungeon,” I explained. “As far as anyone knows, the path is all there is.”
“I’ll find it!” Celeste declared, flying off down the corridor.
With her sensitivity to wind, I had confidence that she’d be able to find it. Dungeons did have some rules after all. There had to be at least some connection between the entrances and the boss room. They couldn’t just block it off completely. That didn’t mean they couldn’t make the path convoluted, even involving teleports, but at some level, it needed to be accessible. I didn’t know the reason why. It probably wasn’t a rule of the council, since there were actual physical ramifications to cutting off contact.
“What is this?” A voice echoed down the passageway.
I recognized the voice immediately. It was the Dungeon Master Gram. He hadn’t shown himself, but he was using the dungeon to demand what was going on.
“Can I talk?” I asked Elaya.
“Mm! Just speak!” Elaya grinned.
“Gram, you desired to take what is mine. Since you decided to start this fight, excuse me if I’m going to finish it!”
“You…” His voice echoed out in disbelief. “Heh, if you think you’ll be able to breach my dungeon, you have another thing coming! Do you wish to know my trick? The tunnel is only the first floor of my dungeon! The rest of my dungeon is hidden! You can look all week, and you’ll never find it!”
“Master! I’ve found it!” Celeste cried out as there was a boom.
I could see that there was a hidden door. It looked just like the wall, except that Celeste could see the flow of air and was able to discover it in record time.free(w)ebnovel.com
“…” Gram had grown speechless after finding his best defense was destroyed in an instant.
“Elaya, Xin, attack, Astria, hold back and secure our position.”
Ultimately, Elaya and Xin’s troops were replaceable cannon fodder created by the dungeon, while Astria was using evolved fairies which formed with not an inconsiderable amount of effort. I wasn’t willing to put them into a situation where they could get hurt. I also wanted to play this safe. I didn’t want to put anyone into a risky situation where they could get hurt. I sat back in my chair. This fight was just getting started.
