Dread Sovereign: Monster Girl Harem-Chapter 193 12: Strange Dungeon [1]
Raven stepped forward, the slight sound of his armour rattling.
The two girls followed to his side with silent steps as both of them were like stealthy killers, Evelyn with her black hair and fair skin carrying sharp, deadly daggers and Lilith with snow white hair and her sharp claws flickering in the dim light of the dungeon passage.
"Come, sisters of mine. We have rats that need catching." Evelyn commented.
Raven only nodded grimly, his eyes hard and cold as the girls flashed him mischievous grins. He started walking through the dark, wet stone passage swiftly. At the same time, both girls vanished and began walking along the slight stone platforms around the room.
Lilith used her strange blossom step, where her body would become like pink mist. Evelyn was like a shadow, her body turning dark as she vanished into the shadows, before appearing 5 metres away, crouching on a tall pillars roof, eyes fixated on the distance with her long thin tail swaying, like a cat hunting her prey.
Raven just slowly walked along the ground, his neon eyes staring at the enemy with a soft smile, his Axe resting on his shoulder; why the two girls seemed to be fighting about who could move and avoid detection better as they both lounged right above the enemy, pressing their chests against the stone pillars while appealing to Raven with slightly erotic poses.
'These girls... If those hobgoblins start shooting, they will suffer.'
The enemy was a group of fully evolved goblins into Hobgoblins with leather and metal armour and weapons, 12 archers, 5 scouts and 10 warriors all sitting around a small fire, the smoke billowing as it left the dungeon's roof through a small opening.
All hobgoblins had a horn-like growth on their heads and yellow/greenish skin. Some even had purple scars along their bodies, showing strength and willpower, signifying that the survivors, even if they were many, there were strong warriors among them.
"Finally caught some meat, ha-ha; I say we eat and screw before moving." (Goblin)
One hobgoblin commented, scratching his large, round, bulbous crotch area, a depraved grin on his face as he licked his yellow, greasy lips; the 9 warriors and the scouts grinning similarly and looking greedily towards 3 dead male humans.
Unlike these weaker cousins, the hobgoblin didn't mind fornicating with the female hobgoblin; although elves and human women were best, they weren't bothered in the grand scheme depending on type and clan.
Mel'Zentia was a form of goblin from another world, beautiful and fair, more like a corrupted elf than a monster.
It would be similar for the elf race and other monster clans but instead would seek fair and attractive men, no matter the origin species; even humans were the same in all fairness.
So Raven didn't pay much attention as these goblins and Zentai differed. Thus, he didn't feel guilt as his body began to rush towards them, his Axe ready to strike.
A 'smile' appeared on Raven's face. It was ruthless, uncaring of others but filled with pleasure.
He rushed forward, the weight of his large metal axe on his hand, leaving a grinding sound on the floor before vanishing in his hands with incredible speed, rushing forward and jumping.
His Axe glowed bright crimson as he struck the first hobgoblin, who raised a club in retaliation; Raven raised a gauntlet and Axe, gripping the small pointed stone-edge club and striking his armour chest plate.
Instantly, the armour shattered, and the hobgoblin armour flew along with bones and blood; the hobgoblin's armour broke along his rib cage and sent shards inside, breaking bones and cutting up innards.
Even Raven felt the blunt force of the heavy club and felt it quiver from his attack; instantly, his feet landed on the dying hobgoblin's back, crushing the poor creature with a disgusting crack. His 'smile' became crazier, and bloodlust leaked from Raven.
With a slight flourish, his Axe gleamed, the red light turning darker red.
"Come at me then. You damn savages!"
Raven sneered, rushing ahead and meeting his enemies fearlessly, with Evelyn and Lilith covering him using their stealth.
Lilith used her body to roll and wrap around the pillars before piercing the throat of the hobgoblins with her sharp claws or tail and snickered before she vanished into a blossom of pink mist and attacked the next victim.
While Evelyn was brutal, using her longer tail, she executed the goblin archers while crawling and darting around the shadows, her daggers slicing their throats to muffle their screams as she enjoyed the hunt.
Their coordination wasn't bad, and Raven had clear intelligence, plans, and the ferocious desire to fight and beat down his opponents, not just kill them.
His Axe cracked skulls or armour before he smashed into their bodies, destroying their limbs or cores. But what made the 2 girls of the clan smirk was the ferocious lust that he could direct towards them.
Even amidst the destruction in front of him as Raven crushed all hobgoblins using their strength and teamwork, the final one's skull was smashed open by his gauntlets fist, his brains smeared against his black armour and dripping over him.
Of course, both Evelyn and Lilith displayed no shame as they crawled atop the small stone altar, stabbing the dying last hobgoblin with their sharp tails, before looking at Raven with their chest's almost hanging out, squished flat and grinned seductively towards him.
"Don't take too much enjoyment; this is work, after all." Raven groaned.
Seeing the two acting shamelessly was becoming a problem, in his opinion.
He shook his head but allowed these two girls to follow him, acting brazen and vicious towards the enemy without too much guilt. Yet they were too seductive and flirtatious towards him. He would love to enjoy their bodies or be like them if normal.
But this dungeon was a little difficult; the only reason they didn't notice was Raven took all their attention and damage, as under his black scales were many deep wounds and bruises slowly healing.
And this was a mere scouting group!
"Be careful."
?You levelled UP?
?Evelyn levelled UP?
?Lilith levelled UP?
All three made a slightly erotic sound as they groaned from the growth, Raven's body and muscles improving all around thanks to his cultivation technique, meaning he could use the level-up bonus for his skills.

The increase was quite drastic compared to early on; the same was true for Lilith and Evelyn, who seemed to improve more based on his growth, especially Lilith, who was actively sleeping with him.
While as for Evelyn, she had only swallowed his essence a few times after sneaking into one of the Sunday night orgies.
"Let's move on. Otherwise, we'll be inside this place for a week," Raven ordered before walking towards the passageway behind the stone altar.
Evelyn and Lilith quickly followed.
While Evelyn seemed annoyed, as if Raven was denying them some quality time, Lilith didn't care either since she always found him near, and the two continued forward. It wasn't easy progressing, and 4 hours in, the goblins attacked 3 groups with increasing intensity.
They had a variety of evolved forms of combat, the hobgoblins knew basic tactics, and using shield walls and archers caused Raven a headache.
Thankfully Evelyn and Lilith were vicious killers when out and about, so he didn't need to do everything, but the sheer stamina these goblins showed made him believe this was a strange dungeon.
There had to be no less than a 1,000+ goblin force, and once he got tired; he began to wonder how there were so many inside the dungeon when there was normally a limit to how many of one race could live in them...
'I don't like this feeling.'
It was strange, but he couldn't pinpoint the danger; a sense loomed closer the deeper they went into the dungeon.
Raven started getting increasingly tense and careful, always watching and making sure Evelyn and Lilith, during the 4-hour, were safe during their sneak kill and acted together with him.
Due to the goblins' early scout and raid forces, no less than 150 goblins had died so far, but there was an annoying layout to this cave; the current opening was filled with jagged rock walls, but there were four entrances!
Whenever the trio tried to rest, another group would sneak inside to replace some stationed there, showing even more intelligence.
Raven was getting irritated, as the two girls with him didn't show weariness due to sleeping together with him and resting, or they would stay silent.
'This fucking dungeon! I hate it; luckily, my vitality isn't falling, and my stamina is near infinite, but my mind is a little foggy... Is it natural, or is there something in the air?'
He couldn't rule out that there might be a goblin shaman casting a curse at the main camp, or rather how would they tackle the main camp with only 3 people and a boss?
"Raven, are you alright?" Evelyn asked sweetly, climbing down from the pillar beside him as she hugged his shoulder and brushed her cheek against his, holding herself up with both legs wrapped around the pillar walls.
"I'm fine. This dungeon is just very strange and dangerous." 𝒃𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝙡．𝙤𝒓𝙜
He didn't push her away as this much skinship to him now was nothing. Turning his gaze to the northwest, yet another Golbin squad appeared.
There were 30 and two larger hobgoblins in full metal armour carrying huge clubs this time.
'Seems they noticed something is wrong...'
