She reached the main hall, but just as she entered, an arrow whizzed past her face, leaving a scratch on her cheek. Malenia froze in place; she didn't dare utter a word and stared in the direction from which the arrow had come.
~~~
Slowly, five men revealed themselves: three appearing as basic knights, one young man looking like a spoiled brat, and finally, an old man with three magical arrows floating above him. The others seemed less threatening, but the old man was the most dangerous. Malenia knew this just by looking at him.
'Is he the baron? But I don't sense a strong presence like I did from Dante, so he's probably a rank below Dante's.' Malenia thought, quickly searching for ways to buy more time without getting killed.
Little did she know that she wouldn't have to do anything. These lustful men had no intention of killing a stunning woman like her without satisfying their desires first.
"Woah, look at what we have here. A helpless woman in slutty clothes, all alone in the dungeon. Well, I can't call you completely helpless, since you're the dungeon mistress." They knew she was the dungeon mistress because they could see the dark aura surrounding her, a unique trait of dungeon masters within their dungeon.
Malenia remained silent, her eyes fixed on them, waiting for their next move. "Well, what tricks are you hiding? Tell me now, or I'll use this arrow to pierce your head." the old man said, his tone cautious. He had experience and suspected something, as a group of four adventurers hadn't returned from this dungeon.
"Wait! Take back your arrows; don't harm her. I want to make her my slave." the young man ordered the old man, pulling out a black collar adorned with strange markings.
The young man had only come to the dungeon to clear it and be rewarded by his father.
He hadn't expected to find a beautiful woman like Malenia here. Even if she was the dungeon mistress, as long as he didn't destroy the dungeon core, he could enslave her.
"Hey, if you want to survive, come here and put this collar around your neck. I won't treat you badly if you comply without protest." the young man offered.
"But young master, she's a humanoid
dungeon mistress. They always have strange tricks. It's not safe to make her your slave." the old man cautioned, having heard stories about human-like dungeon masters becoming huge dangerous threats.
"Shut up! I make the decisions here. I want her as my slave. You're just my father's servant, so keep your mouth shut." the young man, Cedric, retorted.
The old man fell silent, offering only a small nod.
As for Malenia, she was pleased. These fools were wasting time without any effort on her part, and the evolution process was nearly complete.
She decided to play along to stall them until her monsters finished evolving and arrived. "No, no, please don't make me a slave! I don't want that." Malenia pleaded, feigning helplessness. To them, she appeared as a truly vulnerable woman, and their lust grew looking at her.
[Congratulations! Gob has evolved from a rank-8 to a rank-7 monster!]
[Congratulations! Rave has evolved into a rank-7 servant!]
'Perfect timing.' Malenia thought, communicating with her monsters through her senses, instructing them to launch a surprise attack on the old man.
"Hey, are you listening, woman? I told you, the only way to survive is to become my slave. You can live your life with this handsome young master." Cedric said, drooling as he spoke. Malenia couldn't believe how arrogant and disgusting he was, but she had to keep them distracted for her minions to strike.
Malenia slid one of her bikini strings down, revealing her right side breast, causing all of the men, even the old one, to become entranced. Her charm stats were three times the normal human maximum, so it was natural for them to be mesmerized.
While they were caught in their lustful daze, a head went flying through the air, shocking them back to reality.
Gob, who had evolved and gained new ability—Stealth Step, had sneaked up to the mage and decapitated him in a single strike.
Heads rolled one by one as the scene turned bloody. Malenia had ordered them not to kill Cedric, thinking he might be useful against the baron.
"N-no, how dare you kill my guards! Don't you know my father is a baron? W-wait, don't touch me! St-muff-muffh!" Before Cedric could finish his sentence, Rave had already gagged him and bound him with ropes.
"Good job. He was so annoying. Does he think I care that he's a baron's son? Is he mentally ill or something?"
[Congratulations! You have successfully defended the dungeon! You received:
• 100 breeding coins!! (2x)
• 3 stat points!! (2x)
• A skill upgrade card!! (2x)]
"Oh, nice! I got double rewards as the system said. And a skill upgrade card sounds powerful. Since it's 2x, I'll add all 6 stats to mental strength." She allocated the points to mental strength again, realizing its benefits, as she hadn't reacted emotionally when Gob and Rave killed the invaders. Unlike the first invasion, her mental strength now kept her calm.
After cleaning up the mess, Malenia instructed Gob to throw Cedric in the prison. She returned to the throne room to examine and use her rewards and perhaps reward her minions too.
First, since she had 250 coins now, she bought the OP Semen ability.
[You bought:
OP Semen ability!!! -250 coins!]
"Oh, nice! Now, how do I use the skill upgrade cards? System, show me all of my abilities with their descriptions." Malenia pondered which skill to upgrade.
[Here are Mistress's abilities:
• Pregnancy Control: Allows the user to control whether they become pregnant or not.
• High Fertility: Increases the chances of getting pregnant quickly.
• Pregnancy Acceleration: Speeds up the pregnancy process by 50%. Upgradable!
• Universal Breeder: Allows the user to breed with ANY species/races.
• Divine Breasts: Produces divine milk that grants power to those who drink it.
• Kin's Blessings: Allows the user to copy one of their child's abilities with each birth. Upgradable!
• OP Vagina: Makes the user's vagina extremely tight, and they gain 0.1% of their partner's strength during sex. (Cooldown: 1 hour) Upgradable!
• Dual Breeding: Permanently increases the strength of both parties involved in breeding. Upgradable!
• OP Semen: Enhances the user's ability to absorb semen in all three holes. Increases charm and defense with each mouthful of semen absorbed. Upgradable! ]
"So, six out of nine of my abilities can be upgraded." She carefully reviewed them and decided to upgrade OP Semen and OP Vagina first.
[OP Semen (F) upgraded to OP Semen (E)!
• OP Semen (E): Enhances the user's ability to absorb semen in all three holes plus semen all over the body as well. Increases charm and defense by each mouthful of semen absorbed. ]
[OP Vagina (F) upgraded to OP Vagina (E)!
• OP Vagina (E): Makes the user's vagina extremely tight, and they gain 0.2% of their partner's strength during sex. (Cooldown: 50 minutes)]
"Wow! That's a great upgrade for OP Semen—I can even absorb the cum which gets on all over my body while having sex. The OP Vagina skill upgrade isn't bad either, though not as significant as OP Semen. And they're showing skill ranks now. Nice!"
Malenia smiled, satisfied with the upgrades, knowing that they would help her grow stronger faster.
Then to celebrate defending the dungeon and to test her new powers, Malenia called Rave and Gob to her room to reward them.
