So, I am confused why you decided to go sightseeing when you have business to attend to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Vale, Mias summoned chairs of smoke for Awilix, Toy, and himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Awilix is being well-behaved...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was her instincts for survival kicking in. Greed was a threat beyond anything any of them had ever experienced. Their life was a matter of her whim at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed smiled as she crossed her legs, her eyes drifting over Vale’s Champions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The coup in Windshire, you mean? Cha Cha, one of my Champions, is taking care of that; I needn’t worry on that front.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale nodded his head slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, that would make sense... But you came all this way alone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed laughed, then gestured her head outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alone? Heavens no! I brought two of my finest Champions. One is too big to fit in here, and the other is currently scouting the area... There was a band of Celestia knights traveling about; he’s making sure they don’t follow me here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She traveled away from her dungeon with merely two Champions at her side?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just how strong was she to feel confident enough to do that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale’s eyes flickered and washed over Greed’s alluring form, studying her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her uncalloused hands, smooth skin, shining amber irises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked delicate and weak...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he realized what he was doing, he suppressed [Charm] and [Flame of Lust].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed looked amused at the gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, you don’t have to do that for me. You’re at a level much too weak for me to be affected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale replied with practiced ease:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to practice it anyway... I’ve recently come to realize the effect it may have on others when I don’t wish it to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed looked over at Salome, then said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick on the uptake. She’s a victim of me simply looking at her by accident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Looking at her did that to her?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale looked at his Champion, who was still trying to tear at the bars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed studied the succubus, then added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All my ability amplifies someone’s wants and desires to an uncontrollable level. Yet, even I was a little surprised when she went into that murderous frenzy so quickly. She must have some sinister desires.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale sighed, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That would be because she really wants to kill another one of my Champions, but holds herself back. Oh, she may also want to kill Mias now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale gestured to his left at the smoky reaper, whom Greed had called ’snack...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Whatever that meant.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed studied Mias’s body and repeated the name as if she didn’t already know it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mias. That’s a weird name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mias replied evenly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I’ve been told.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed chuckled at his languid response, then summoned glasses and slid them on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she did, she looked over Mias then gave an approving nod. Next, she looked over at Toy and Awilix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft note of confusion crossed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale watched Greed’s odd gestures, then followed his gaze to the two to his right. Toy looked beyond spooked, and Awilix assumed a defensive posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed finally broke her silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re quite strong for an Aberrant. And you have quite the strong Trait for a Nascent Monster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Huh?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale didn’t exactly know how Greed could assess such a thing...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But it’s probably to do with her ability.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale leaned back in his chair, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for the praise of them, but I do hope you know they’re not for sale.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed laughed candidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lust, oh Lust! Anything and everything in this world has a price! But don’t worry, you can keep those two. As for that one...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed looked at Mias again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’d love to take him off your hands. Or at least a part of him. He could be very useful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale slightly shuddered as Greed grew a wicked grin and sized Mias up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mias himself looked perturbed as he replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t particularly take fondly to those who put me in tubes, so I’ll have to respectfully decline.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed laughed uncontrollably at the Reaper of Knowledge, then bellowed out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Darling! The choice is not yours to hold! It would be Lust which holds that burden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awilix shrieked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re in luck, turns out he’s on clearance—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale threw his hand over Awilix’s mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Where’d she even learn that?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I don’t wish to part with him for any price. He has a lot to make up for before he’s allowed to leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed feigned a sigh, then looked over at Salome, who was finally starting to calm down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s too bad... what about that one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale looked at Salome in her pitiful state, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s much too valuable to me. Giving her away would be the same as trading my own life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed clapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How admirable, my friend! How resolute!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When her soft claps ended, an odd silence took hold of the dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few moments later, Greed broke it by summing another pair of glasses and tossing them to Vale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A gift for this exquisite welcome and for the tour you’ve yet to give me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Tour?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, if Greed wanted a tour, Vale didn’t necessarily have the liberty to decline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale curiously put the glasses on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have equipped UR-ranked Item: Essence Pryer]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What the...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Vale looked at Mias, his status page summoned... but that wasn’t all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His abilities had a secondary, more literal description detailing how they worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale looked over at Awilix and Toy, which revealed the same kind of information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his eyes fell upon the dormant Dawn’s Eye in Awilix’s hand...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dawn’s Eye] - [Oh, spider of heaven who looks upon the brink of day.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A description?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did that even mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And under it was a secondary description of the Enchantment:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Luminosity] - [Activation will cause a luminous glow.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I wonder...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale drew his gaze to Greed, but unfortunately, nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed smiled, then uncrossed her legs and stood up. At the same time, Salome’s frenzy came to an end, and her reason returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed recalled the cage and throne, then gestured for the chair Vale sat on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale slowly rose and handed it back as Greed said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, let’s start the tour...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1072,"2026-06-06T01:43:37.938Z",1,"novelbin.me","d87e0ab9d18f22af74142d6c0e8ea0fd22173b64f1382cd522d04414fc1240fe","dungeon-of-lust-managing-otherworldly-beauties-chapter-187","dungeon-of-lust-managing-otherworldly-beauties-chapter-185",306,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdungeon-of-lust-managing-otherworldly-beauties-cover.jpg"]
