Goddess Wives x Eternal Dungeon

Chapter 140: Chapter 17: A Strange Dungeon



Standing on the fifty-first floor with Elena and Ayr, I felt a strange feeling while looking around—blue skies and wonderous forests wrapped a huge landscape with a fortress filled with boisterous life, the call of merchants, clang of the blacksmith followed by the chattering call of the farmers selling their eggs and wares.

This entire dungeon had no visible monsters, and the only things to kill were humans. No, to put it more clearly, I was the monster, and they were going to hunt me.

"Master... these are humans from the planet Lycan... I don't know why they are here... but the atmosphere feels similar to the world outside... but the mana is weak..." Ayr explained while she sniffed the air with her fluffy tail wagging, but there was no sign of happiness...

"Master... these humans smell funny... and they are using mana, but it is limited, polluted and putrid... maybe there is something we cannot see?" Elena added while she held my arm while Ayr sniffed the air again and nodded...

"Something isn't right.... it smells bad... like spoiled meat." Ayr whimpered, her tail no longer swaying happily.

"Okay, let's advance for now—there is something strange going on here. We can't kill them unless they attack us..." It was a kind of human hypocrisy that when facing other races, they show little to no issue, killing them to grow stronger, but the moment the enemy is close to human in looks, they suddenly cannot do it due to morals...

I didn't quite feel that way, but on the off chance, it was a trick-or-trial type dungeon. I couldn't risk killing innocent people...

"Aye, Captain!" Elena saluted while Ayr mimicked her, but her breasts bounced, causing my eyes to be drawn to them...

"Master... no peeping... we are advancing soon." Ayr pouted, covering her breasts with her fluffy tail as Elena smirked victoriously before licking my cheek with her forked tongue and squeezing my ass. It seemed they got a little friskier after the changes...

"Hehe~ master, I am the only one who can peep on you."

We came to the gateway, wondering if they would attack on sight, but I also began to realise something was wrong... there was a stench that I remember all too clearly: a cat killed a mouse between our house and the one behind them, leaving a nasty stench as it began to decay.

This smell was the same... rotten and filled with death...

"Master... it's here..." Elena whispered, pointing to a carriage that seemed to have crashed...

A man was lying in the dirt with his back against the wheel and a woman and child holding him while crying, but the stench was coming from there...

I didn't hesitate as I rushed forward while Elena and Ayr followed me, ready for battle—suddenly, from the gates, there was a loud call. "Get away! He's going to turn!" The two guards seemed terrified as they held their swords with trembling hands.

However, before I could reach them, a sickening crunch rang out as the man's stomach ripped open, and a creature covered in black ooze with green eyes crawled out... his wife and child seemed terrified as the guards rushed forward, slashing the creature in half with their swords...

"Fuck... the plague is getting worse... evacuate the town!" The guard shouted while Elena and Ayr looked at the creature that began to decay and turn to dust, but the stench remained...

A moment later, the woman and child also began to convulse... before their skin turned black and eyes green... Elena and Ayr rushed forward while the guards were horrified as the woman and child also turned into the creatures...

I couldn't react in time as both Elena and Ayr decapitated them—the two girls looked at me with sad expressions while the guards looked at me like I was a monster...

"Monster! It's one of them!" The guards shouted while pointing at me as I stood there, unsure of what to do... I didn't kill them, but I guess I appeared suspicious...

"Master... we need to go..." Elena said, holding my hand while Ayr licked her claws and tail swayed as she stared at the guards, ready to fight.

"Yeah... let's go..."

My heartfelt complicated, but these two girls were more important, and it seemed something was wrong with this world—something I couldn't fully understand in a short time.

****

For some reason, the carriage event would loop....

Every hour, the same couple and child would crash into the same wall, and then all three would turn into monsters... I had been sitting on the hill with Ayr on my lap, stroking her soft fur while Elena hugged me from behind, massaging my stiff back.

"Ayr, Elena, I think we might have to kill them after all—they are not human... The entire city is like an echo of death..." I began to prepare myself to fight because the scene made me feel strange.

"Maybe the dungeon had attempted to save them like the sirens on the floor below, but it was too late... whatever that creature is... not a single human doesn't have one inside them," Elena explained while Ayr nodded, yawning cutely while stretching her arms before leaning into my chest.

"Master... the moment we kill someone other than those three people, I think it might trigger another event." Ayr's words caused me to look at her with surprise as Elena also stroked her head, praising the clever girl...

"Smart pup~ master, let's try it!" Elena nodded while her forked tongue licked my ear as I stood up with Ayr on my shoulder.

"Aye... let's go..."

The guards looked terrified as I stepped forward, and the couple and child crashed once again, but this time, I rushed forward with my sword slashing—the creatures didn't even scream as their heads rolled...

Not the family but the two guards...

"Master..." Elena's soft voice sounded as the entire city seemed to change... the once clear and beautiful castle walls rapidly began to rot and erode while the trees turned black...

"Elena, Ayr, prepare yourself—something is coming..." I warned, holding the two girls close to me as a wave of darkness seemed to spread while the sky turned black, and a sound of groaning sounded... The quiet city had fallen apart as screams and chaos started, some not aware they were already infected and trying to flee from the wooden gate.

"Master... something is coming... something bad..." Elena trembled while Ayr tightened her grip on my shirt, and the fluffy tail wagged—but it was different, filled with fear...

The gates were hammered, a loud back as the very foundation shuddered from the creatures behind, hitting it in panic, the stress twisting and pulling on the metal hinges before the gates shattered... the entire landscape turned into a hellscape...

Monsters made of ooze and darkness with green eyes rushed forward, devouring everyone in their path, including the civilians... the guards were the first to die as they turned into monsters themselves...

"Master... something is controlling them... it's like a queen bee, but instead, it's a queen goo?" Elena seemed to realise the reason as she pointed to the castle, with a strange monster standing above everything, her green eyes fixated on the gate. Now, she wasn't a beautiful queen like Elena or Ayr... it was revolting to look at her.

A massive creature with green eyes and black ooze dripping from its mandibles while the entire city was decaying and dying—I didn't hesitate.

"Elena, Ayr, let's go—I don't care if they are innocent or not... that thing needs to die..."

The two girls nodded as we rushed forward, cutting through the monsters and civilians, but they no longer felt human—their faces were twisted and filled with rage, but their eyes lacked any intelligence or emotion.

They were like zombies, and as we approached the castle, the Queen monster also seemed to realise our existence... but once we made our way to the castle gate... the monsters changed, no longer absent and dazed.... they began to show intelligence and the ability to defend themselves.

"Master... the further we go, the stronger they get... the Queen is controlling them less, so they are more sentient..." Elena explained while Ayr slashed her claws, cutting apart another of the humanoid monsters with green eyes and black ooze dripping from his mouth—these monsters were far stronger, and we could no longer rush forward...

"Aye... it seems we will have to fight our way up to that monster and kill it... Elena, can you use water magic?"

Elena nodded while her webbed fingers moved, and a wave of water surrounded us, washing away the monsters, but they no longer died instantly...

"My lord... I am going to use my most powerful spell... the siren song... it will cause them to be enchanted by me... and break the queen's control for a moment, use that time to kill them..." Elena seemed to be worried as Ayr held my hand, her fluffy tail wagging with her cute smirk.

"Master, just hold me and look at me—the moment Elena used her song, these were the kinds of thoughts that flooded into my mind... her beautiful singing voice almost charmed me as she blushed, seeing my hands groping at her chest and Ayr kissing my neck.

"Master~ Elena... stop singing and let me seduce master first... your ugly face is ruining the moment."

"Hmph... dog, master likes my fishy parts better!"

It seemed the Siren's song caused both Elena and Ayr to fight, and I could hear the Queen monster laughing...

"Ahaha... little lamia, I am going to kill you and take your mate..."

Shaking my head, I finally recovered from the strange mental attack. It seemed that the spell worked, but the creature was adept with mental magic and somehow amplified the song of Elena to affect me and Tyr for a moment as she vanished from our sight.
