Chapter 942
Chapter 942
From the moment Lydia suddenly ceased to be connected to my bond, I immediately began looking for her. It didn’t take long before I thought to bring up the map. I had to reset my dungeon points to bring out a skill, Sense Life Plus. I hoped I’d gain it in one of my job titles soon, but it was extremely useful as a dungeon skill too. I had found that if I used it, then any dot I selected on the map would also display the information regarding that person. I quickly located Lydia. She was in my room?
She also appeared to be next to someone. However, when I attempted to click on their name, it brought up question marks. It was someone I couldn’t identify? What kind of creature would be able to confuse my Sense Life? It left me rather terrified.
I quickly ran to my bedroom, and behind me, all of the girls followed. We were supposed to be discussing war matters regarding the appearance of Lord Reign. Now, I was dealing with the loss of Lydia. Was this some kind of trick Lord Reign came up with? Was he stealing my slaves now? That question mark was that the strange man who had attacked us in the castle. If Lord Reign had sent him, then we had a major fight ahead of us. If he also could break the bonds between my women and me, even despite my blessing, it left me feeling afraid.
My mind worked quickly through a million different possibilities. I’d even considered just casting meteor and destroying the entire mansion. No, that was perhaps too impulsive. However, that could be a possible plan B. I could always resurrect everyone later. On the other hand, if this mysterious monster was allowed to wipe us out, it could mean Lord Reign won without a single shot fired. It’d be horribly embarrassing.
“Master, is Lydia okay?” Miki asked worriedly.
Of all the girls, Miki and Shao were the closest to Lydia. There was a time it had just been Miki and Lydia. They had fought together in Karr’s dungeon when they thought they had lost me and even had to drag my corpse back together when I unexpectedly died retaking the city. As a result, the girls formed a closer bond. Celeste was a bit of an airhead, and Terra liked to keep to herself. Shao, on the other hand, saw Lydia as a repository of sexual knowledge and her ideal to strive for. Either way, all of the girls respected her as the leader and scout for our group, and if she was lost, our fighting potential was also lost, as well as a close friend.
Rather than answer, I opened the door to my bedroom and looked in. My eyes landed on Lydia, but what I saw was far worse than her being dead. If she was dead, I could summon her back to life. Instead, she was in the arms of another man. They were kissing passionately, his back to me. A cold feeling spread through me, and I pulled out my blade. Whoever this man was, he would die!
