Fantasy Dungeon Builder's Harem

My monster girls died. The dragon was hurt, but she was killing too many of them. That breath was devastating.

"Blinding brilliance hardened, let the light of Lord Shamash cut!"

Dazzling Sword flashed into existence and cut through the dragon's right horn before slamming into her head. She snarled in pain as blood spurted. But that wasn't good enough. I needed to deal more damage. Esclava hurt her with fire.

I had tried Flame Spurt, an Intermediate Fire Spell, but I had Expert Spells now. Third Tier. And there was one that Sulanga had used on me. I had so many new spells, but this one rose in my mind. I thrust out my hands.

"Flames erupt, let the conflagration of Lord Gibil blaze!"

A massive conflagration engulfed the dragon. She roared in pain as the fire burned across her wings and back. It blazed down to her scales. The heat danced in the air over her, buffeting Garnet and Alizee as they soared above.

"Beautiful," Esclava cried as she whirled above me.

Snarling her fury, the dragon turned to face me for the first time since my monster girls had attacked. She breathed black flames at me. It was in that moment that I realized I hadn't renewed Static Aura.

Flames engulfed me.

The fire gripped me and lifted me off the ground. I gasped, realizing I was in Esclava's firewhirl. I had a glimpse of her eyes amid the inferno as she lifted me up. A suggestion of a smile on the ifrit's fiery body at the heart of the conflagration.

"Such beautiful flames," she cooed.

Hagane's glasses slipped on her nose as she swung her arm-blades. An affection since the glasses held no lenses, she ignored them. She slashed against at the dragon's front legs, leaving bleeding rents behind in the scales. Terra bashed into the other leg, crunching scales. Some shattered and revealed the flesh beneath.

The animated statue attacked with methodical motions. She thought where each strike should land to deal the maximum amount of damage to the monster. This beast had to be taken down. Leo's fire burned over it. The dragon snarled with fury.

He will push himself too hard and get killed, Hagane thought. Every time he went into battle was illogical. He should stay on his throne directing his monster girls. He was a general, not a captain. It was not his job to lead his women but direct the battle.

But that was not Leo.

He's too chivalrous to let women die in his place, thought Hagane. And though it shouldn't give her this pleased thrill since she was a reusable asset that could come back time and time again, it did. She liked that he was illogical even as it frustrated her. I'm no more logical than he is, I suppose.

The dragon's legs quivered as Hagane and Terra followed them around, dodging their attacks, and attacking. They had to bring her down. Once her legs collapsed, she would be done for. She had no room to fly in here.

Unlike Isatu in that massive room in the First Dungeon.

Maya jumped into the leg that Hagane attacked. The animated statue blinked in surprise as the undine scrambled up the dragon's limb with ease. Half flowing and half climbing. Maya had unorthodox ways of fighting.

Hagane approved.

Movement blurred before the animated statue. She gasped, distracted by the undine. She raised her arm-blades before her at the last moment before the dragon's foot kicked her. The force snapped Hagane's left arm-blade and threw her into the air. She soared towards the ceiling. She almost hit it before hurtling toward the ground and the damaging impact.

Lana Fulmine caught her as the dragon's head snapped down. Terra cursed and darted to escape, but the dragon tracked her and snapped her jaws down on the golem. A clay arm and leg tumbled through the air and vanished into motes.

"Get me on her back," Hagane said.

"You got it," Lana Fulmine said. The movie starlet banked to the right and dove towards the dragon. Hagane grew a replacement arm-blade like she was the T-1000. "Here we go!"

Lana Fulmine flew over the dragon. Maya had reached the creature's shoulder as the lightning sprite dropped Hagane. The animated statue fell like a missile towards the beast, thrusting both her arm-blades before her. She struck the dragon, impaling her sharp limbs into the dragon's back.

The beast roared, her head arching. Blood dripped from a hundred wounds. Some of her scales smoked, half-melted together. She had taken a beating, crimson puddles splattered across the throne room.

Lana Fulmine was ready to do her part. The dragon turned her head back to face Hagane as Lana's wings crackled. They discharged. Lightning crackled down and struck the dragon in the side of the head, right below the horn Leo's Dazzling Sword had cut off.

Electricity danced across her head. The dragon's wings twitched, but that didn't stop her from breathing shadows down her back. Hagane ripped out one of her arm-blades and stabbed downward, impaling into the dragon's flesh before vanishing in darkness.

Lana Fulmine drew in a deep breath. It hurt watching one of her friends die.

Maya climbed up the dragon's long neck now as the fliers pelted the dragon with attacks. Lana built up another charge in her wings as Alizee's wind blades tore into the dragon's hide. Garnet hurtled more dildos.

They just annoyed the dragon.

Esclava's firewhirl deposited Leo on the side of the room. She rushed at the dragon as he cried out his new Fire spell.

"Flames erupt, let the conflagration of Lord Gibil blaze!"

The amount of flames it unleashed staggered Lana. The spell engulfed most of the dragon's body but missed Maya working up the neck. The dragon snarled in pain and wrenched her head around to hit Leo with a blast of shadows.

Esclava crashed into the dragon's head. Fire engulfed her face. Pain roared. Esclava laughed from the scent of her fire. Then shadows swirled in her flames. She screamed and her fire went out, leaving the dragon's head smoking, one eye boiled and burst. Scales sizzled.

Morana rushed forward. She threw herself at the dragon's leg. But the foot lashed out and struck her. Morana burst into motes. Lana sighed, not sure what the girl was even doing. She gathered her lightning and fired another barrage.

"We can do it," Alizee cried, fighting against that despair crushing her. It was the bottom of the 4th. They were down by twenty. They had to score some TD's now. It was all or nothing. She couldn't give up.

She had to keep fighting.

"Go, Leo's harem, go!" she cheered as she slashed her arm.

The blade of wind struck the dragon's wing, cutting through scales to the bone.

For the third time, Leo unleashed devastating fire.

"Flames erupt, let the conflagration of Lord Gibil blaze!"

Leo hadn't given up. As the dragon roared in agony, Alizee dove and slashed at the neck, striking it. Blood spurted. The dragon snarled in pain. Her one good eye fixed on Alizee. The sylph zoomed by, her white hair streaming by her.

She turned around to make another attack only to see black slashing at her. The dragon's forepaw.

Claws ripped into Alizee's light-blue flesh before she even realized what was happening. They ripped deep into her. She screamed in pain then burst into motes of light. Her soul left her body and she plunged into a black void.

I'm dead, Alizee gasped, the pain fading. I just died.

Arms embraced her. Soft breasts rubbed on her back as Souleen hummed. Alizee's fear melted away. Peace engulfed her as she fell into a dreamless sleep.

Alizee vanished from the claws as the dragon turned her head and lunged her jaws for me.

I pulled a new spell from my mind. Arcing Chain.

"Lightning arcs and sizzles, let the fury of Lord Enlil spread!"

The bolt of lightning struck the dragoness in the face. It crackled around her. She recoiled back as the electric attack then arced into the ceiling like current jumping from a Tesla coil. It sizzled on the stones and went out.

How much more damage could this bitch take?

Snarling, she resumed her attack, her mouth opening to engulf me.​
