To the entrance, I mean.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, mini Mias evaporated and left the dazed Master of Lust behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Shit...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale began running through the dungeon, ordering all imps and nearby warriors, and Sivian to guard the path to the core. With their lives if necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he found Awilix and Toy and ordered them to follow him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were confused, but that was until the trio entered the maze and a cold presence wafted into their very souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scent of Greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale picked up the pace, sprinting toward the entrance, praying Salome didn’t attack Greed, nor Greed attack them. But as he got closer, he felt something in his mind bloom...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as quickly as it sprouted, the insidious presence vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What was that?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though if Vale wanted to make sense of anything, he knew his mind would not be settled until he knew the facts of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale focused on putting one foot in front of the other until he rounded the final corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the stretch that led to the entrance, Vale saw...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What in the absolute hell is going on...? Huh?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed, in her characteristic yellow dress, stood with an effervescent look on her face as she dragged Thirty-One around by the ankle with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her other hand, she held a murky vial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glow of a Vice was absent from her eyes as she lay a path of gold before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is she suppressing her power?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, it didn’t feel like that at all. Vale could feel every hair stand on end and every instinct begging him to flee...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sadly, fleeing simply wasn’t a possibility in this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Salome was also before him, in a golden cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toy muttered softly when she spotted the succubus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was she in a cage, but something was wrong with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Salome’s eyes had been consumed with a murderous frenzy as she tore at the gold bars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like all of her maturity and reason had been stripped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surviving warriors from Level 8 were also present, but all of them were unconscious on the stone floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed stared at him and waved with the hand holding Thirty-One, flinging the poor spy all about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lust! Oh, how I am glad to see you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale slowed his pace while studying the situation, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Greed. What is your business here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awilix was about to let off some heinous insult, but Vale managed to stop her in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed laughed, then stopped flinging Thirty-One, who had blood dribbling from her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was sightseeing and decided I’d visit a friend. Take a look-see around his home. And might I say, what a beautiful location this is. I’ve heard that the Scar was huge, but to think it’s greater than the Grand Canyon?! That was truly a shock! And that waterfall? It’s second in height only to Victoria Falls! Truly a splendid spot you’ve been gifted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Since when were we friends?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed laughed and covered her mouth with a partially bloodied hand as she threw the body of Thirty-One forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warrior was still alive, but barely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale chose his words carefully as he continued to approach Greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? Well, why is she like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale pointed to the caged Salome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed laughed, then summoned a throne and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, sorry about that! She spooked me when I walked in, and I accidentally let a little of my authority slip. Oops! But, don’t worry, she’ll go back to normal in a few minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale’s eyes narrowed as he studied his rabid Champion and took the last few steps until he stood at the end of the golden-plated floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what of the pale guy? Where’s he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed smiled, then lifted up the vial in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Smokey? Right here. I noticed this snack watching me, so I decided to snatch him up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Snack?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale’s eyes fell upon Thirty-One, who was barely holding onto consciousness and fighting to stand up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would you mind letting him out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed sighed with a shrug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wanted to take him home with me, but if my good friend insists on it, I’ll let him go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale scowled as he watched ashy smoke pour out of the tube, then pool together and form the small man who tumbled to the floor with a scared look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mias shook his head, then stood up and muttered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really hate being put in tubes...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale, seeing that Mias was alright, looked down at Thirty-One and then over at the unconscious warriors of Lust. Before he could even ask a question, Greed spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry for my uncouth entrance... I’m usually a demure and classy woman, but I saw a rat and couldn’t let go of the anger of a born and raised city girl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale kicked Thirty-One’s head down and planted a foot on her back, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess there goes the element of surprise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Might as well confirm it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no use trying to get any information from her anyway. It’s not like the warrior would reveal anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale drew a sword from [Nexus of Beginnings], then slid it into the warrior’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the beasts’ form wobbled and wiggled into a mass of green goop, then slid into the ground alongside an announcement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have slain Emergent Warrior of Envy]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[+5 Aether]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As I thought...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed reeled back with a look of feigned apologies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, my! You knew? To think I just foiled your plot like that. Oh, heavens, I am toats sorry! Oops! I meant ’totally’ sorry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale put the sword back into the subspace and studied Greed’s slender face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Well, it was going to happen sooner or later.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad they didn’t get to use the spy to their full advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, Greed, welcome to the Dungeon of Lust.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Now, please leave...’\u003C\u002Fp>",1017,"2026-06-06T01:43:37.938Z",1,"novelbin.me","8c3f5aadc28e7a939e3ce16f21f2d895bef6e6f363ae0a9c299c0e30719e3631","dungeon-of-lust-managing-otherworldly-beauties-chapter-186","dungeon-of-lust-managing-otherworldly-beauties-chapter-184",306,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdungeon-of-lust-managing-otherworldly-beauties-cover.jpg"]
