Summoner: Monster Girl Harem!-Chapter 13 Second Floor Dungeon - Wrath Backlash [Bonus]
The next morning, I left the house early. I didn't want to meet my mother and sister, as they would delay me from leaving for hours. They were both very clingy sometimes.
"Efrita, you look really cute in that dress." I complimented my dark elf partner.
She was wearing a black dress with leather undercoating to protect her perfect skin. Her golden-brown eyes shone with delight at my compliment as she continued to hang on my right arm like a lover.
"Hmmm…"
"What's wrong, Vincent?"
I turned my head to look at her as we continued to walk down the old town's badly maintained road. The broken down blacksmith was to my right and the siren's dream bar was to the left. My senses were sure somebody was following me during my walk.
"It's just I felt someone was watching and following us."
Efrita gave a sinister smile before she grasped my arm tighter. I could feel a sense of anger and murderous intent from the distance. They did not aim it at me, but at Efrita. 'I wonder who it is. Efrita hasn't been in this world long, so there shouldn't be anyone who know's she's a daemon. Wait, even I'm a daemon now, hahaha. Need to be more careful!'
She sniffed the air several times before her lovely eyes turned to me with a victorious glint.
"No need to worry, darling. It's just a defeated elf spying on the man she lost."
"UGH!" a feminine voice rang out in the distance.
"Oh, okay." Efrita wouldn't lie about something related to her life. So I let it go.
We walked for another twenty minutes before reaching the dungeon. I placed my bronze card on the guild's desk so I could enter the dungeon. This was much easier than actually handing in your spoils, as it was just a gate blocking off the dungeon.
"Welcome to the dungeon guild's checkpoint!"
A cute girl answered when I slotted my card into the desk's access point. She was a little short and had yellow hair. I wasn't sure about her race as she was standing on a box. Her chest was enormous, though. When I was looking, Efrita gave me a light elbow so I could remain polite and look away.
"I see you are a rank 1 bronze scout. You may only dive to the fifth floor! Good luck and take care!"
Her voice was very gentle and sweet. The name tag on her chest read [Tanya] I wanted to have her always be the girl that I see before heading into a dungeon. 'Nobody want's some sweaty old man to send you into the depths. Maybe some women would though…' I thought.
"Vincent Schwartz and his summoned monster Efrita. You may now enter."
The gate rose with a steam spreading from its box. Efrita held my hand as she ran towards the dungeon. This was the first time I was the leader, so I felt excited.
[Which floor would you like to begin with?] 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨ｍ
"Second Floor."
Vincent wished to grind the first floor. However, entering a floor you have completed would lead to elites spawning that were far stronger than the current floor roughly 10 levels higher.
This seemed to be the dungeon's own defence mechanism to stop grinding.

[Please take care! Enjoy your stay in the dungeon.]

The pair entered the dungeon. It differed from the first floor, that was only a single path and filled with nothing but cave and dirt. Under their feet was a grassland and several trees in the distance. This floor seemed to be a little more open.
It was around 15 metres wide and looked almost endless. They weren't able to see any enemies in the first few minutes of exploring. 'Hmmm, it's a little quiet.'
"Darling, enter your full sin mode. This dungeon is a wave type."
"Okay Efrita! you too."
His body flashed with a fierce mana and enlarged to 215cm tall. He was just over 7ft tall. Large black gauntlets filled his arms. Vincent looked over to Efrita and noticed she was now in her half sin form.
"I will stay in this for to avoid spending too much of my power. Unlike you, who belong in this world. I have to use anima to use any form stronger than this."
"Okay, Efrita, how did you manage your backlash from the sin you awakened?" ing enemy. It was a group of 7 goblins. She put a substantial amount of pressure onto the ground with her left leg cracking it deeply.
Efrita catapulted into the group of goblins. Her leg snapped at one goblin like a whip as her kick smashed its head like a melon. Large flames burned on her fists. She slammed them into two oncoming goblins who rose their shields in fear.
Their bodies tried to jump back, but her force and velocity were too much as her hands pierced into their bodies like butter and tore out their hearts, crushing them within her fingers. The blood and flesh oozed from between them. Her face had a twisted smile filled with delight and pleasure.
She opened her mouth as a large fire formed within her mouth. The remaining goblins felt the high purity of mana building and rushed towards the weaker looking male. This woman was far beyond their abilities. Monsters from the second floor up could keep parts of their intelligence. It would rise with each floor increase. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦
'Where are they going?' Efrita thought.
Efrita spat the ball of flame from her mouth like an unwanted piece of gum. It shot towards the goblins that fled towards Vincent with Mach speed.
Once it collided with them, it caused a grand explosion that destroyed the beautiful green land and created a crater of over 5 metres deep. The smoke and heat blew into Vincent's face as he stood there, stunned. That pretty dark elf looking Efrita made light work of the group of goblins. He didn't even move a muscle in the time she wiped them out.
'I have so much to learn! I will surpass her.'

She walked back towards Vincent. She had a pink hue covering her cheeks. Her hand stroked along his cheek affectionately. Efrita spoke to him, pressing a finger onto his soft lips to keep him quiet until she finished.
"In the past, to sate my desire for wrath. I would massacre cities, towns, even villages."
"Each person's way to deal with the backlash is different. However, the moment you accepted me and my blood. The constant desire to kill and maim humans or my enemies has vanished. I am left with only the desire to protect and love you. Is this some kind of compensation you offer to us?"
"It feels like you have accepted everything about me. Since I no longer feel the backlash. Maybe you will also have to shoulder out negative parts and our powers?"
He tried to speak, but her grip upon his lips was too strong. She pulled his body into a hug and diverted his attention with her soft body. His eyes frowned a little, but continued to enjoy the sensation of her body and explanations.
"Different sins have different backlash and coping methods. I know wrath is pretty simple. You either kill or fuck. Wrath is a pretty good sin. We become stronger in close combat. Our defence is higher, so for a summoner like you, it's perfect. No longer hiding behind your minions like a bitch."
Vincent felt happy with this change. He wanted to be like his father, who was a warrior and never left the front lines, even when heavily injured.
"However… You lose most of your talent with magic and as a caster. We cannot learn high-level spells like Silvari can. It doesn't mean we can't have any spells. The Wrath demons mostly focus on fire and earth spells that are instant cast or have a short casting time. Don't expect magic missiles like before. It will take you longer and your max is probably 2-3 now."
He was a little sad casting those missiles with Silvari made his heart race with joy. The fact he was at stage one made him wonder if the next stage he could try it with Silvari to make himself more balanced. Vincent didn't tell Efrita, as she would probably get jealous.
"There may be other drawbacks, but I'm not all knowing. You will probably need to explore them yourself. Just remember, you will need to fight often. Try to avoid feuds with others, as you can never forgive them, even for the slightest issues. It's good you made up with Dirk beforehand, right? Haha,"
'I agree… I am glad we managed to at least bridge our gaps a little before this happened,' Vincent thought.
"If you cannot quell your inner rage with combat. You'll have to resort to other means. I haven't tried it personally, but sex is apparently a great way to solve those issues."
"If you want to try it. I'm always wide open and waiting for you, darling!"
Efrita finished her speaking and looked towards the north and south.
"We have company. How about you take the five to the south and I take the northern bugs? Mwah" She kissed him on the lips with a light peck before her body dashed to the north. He wanted to speak more, but would wait until they finished the second floor.
He turned towards the south with a newly found determination. 'One day I will surpass these bindings! For me and my summoned girls!'
'Thank you once again, Efrita. You allowed me to step closer to my foster father!' His hands filled with colossal tangible flaming claws as his body blasted towards the southern goblins, causing small pits in the ground with each leap.
