[Your dungeon will be assimilated into the real world in: 0:05:59]
Just like when Toy and the other goblins had attacked, Salo and Vale stood next to each other, facing the black translucent wall. This wall wasn’t in the sa place as the first; it was a little further beyond and was more opaque to the point where not a single feature beyond could be made out.
Vale was ard with his whip, while also storing one of the swords he got from the goblin in the pendant.
While he still wasn’t adept at fighting, yet, now that he had a weapon that could kill, he felt a little safer.
As for the dungeon itself, they weren’t able to do too much with the resources they had. The roof of the main room was at least 4 ters high, so they’d be unable to make a wall that went to the ceiling; they settled on making a 2.5 ter wall that blocked the entrance from viewing into the rest of the room and led straight in, from the entrance on the right side (looking in), all the way to the left before it opened to the larger room.
The wall was pretty thin, and this world probably had beings able to scale it easily, but they’d work on connecting it to the ceiling in ti. In fact, the three builder workers had long been sent to aid in mining so they could continue progress on the wall later.
He’d kept Larry and the other imp he deed an artisan, Sizzy, on their task since he figured that skill would definitely be helpful in the future. Even right now, they found a use...
It seed that while he couldn’t block the way to the core, he could at least cover it, in a sense. The path needed to be accessible, but he was able to fix the strears Sizzy and Larry made from the loincloth above the entrance and let them drape down in front of it, at least hiding what was beyond it a little from direct view.
He accomplished that by mining out divots above the door, then holding the strears while he placed the rock back using the blueprint and affixed them in place.
As for Toy, since she was pretty weak, even weaker than Vale, her only job at the mont was to defend the core. She was tucked away, standing in the corridor leading to the Core room, wielding a sword.
If things went as Vale hoped, she shouldn’t see any enemies. He wished he didn’t either.
Salo’s face went pale as the wall began to grow transparent.
"Master, I sense... sothing strange."
Vale looked over at Salo, whom he’d eventually convinced to readopt her outfit.
"What? What do you an?"

"It... it feels like..."
Vale looked over at Salo and studied the odd expression on her face as her already alabaster skin grew paler and her eyes narrowed
Salo’s voice grew quiet.
"N-no... here? Already?"
[Your dungeon will be assimilated into the real world in: 0:00:15]
Then she let out a feverish scream:
"Master! Hide in the Core with Toy! Now!"
’Huh? What?’
[Your dungeon will be assimilated into the real world in: 0:00:10]
"No ti to explain, just go! Don’t co out!"
"But—"
"Hurry!"
Vale slowly began backpedaling toward where the wall t the main room, deep in contemplation.
Was he going to take orders... from his supposed ’servant’?
It seed like Salo had sohow sensed sothing dastardly and downright atrocious on the other side of the wall. She looked like she was sure of his death if he stayed.
Whatever was going to happen, he had no right to witness! To live, he should listen.
Vale began to turn around, then stopped...
’Why do I always run away from shit?’
’Have I ever faced... anything... after losing Fleur?’
Salo’s voice cracked as she looked at Vale, who’d slowly started walking back to where he stood.
"What are you doing?!"
"I’m supposed to be your master, are I not? That’s what you’ve been calling at least... What kind of master hides while their followers risk their lives for them? What kind of master only stares at their followers’ backs? Not one who’s going to go very far..."
"You won’t go very far if you’re dead! Ru—"
Vale cut her off sternly and faced forward.
"It’s simple... Then protect . In turn, let protect you. As a ’master’ should."
[Your dungeon will be assimilated into the real world in: 0:00:03]
Salo opened her mouth to say sothing, but quickly decided against it. She clenched her jaw, faced the wall and grimaced before sighing.
"Fine..."
[Assimilation beginning...]
[The Dungeon of Lust has been assimilated!]
[Challenge different levels to grow your Core!]
[Explore the world outside and all the pleasures and resources it has to offer!]
[You have obtained a Vice-Rank item: Throne of Lust!]
[Good luck, Fifth!]
The onyx wall fell, and a sea of varying, disgusting abominations looked back at the two lone defenders.
Unlike the attractive goblins before... these creatures were vile and repugnant.
Black ooze dripped from every orifice. They had misshapen limbs, snouts that extended too far, and teeth arranged in ways where the only goal was to puncture and kill.
So of the abominations were like malford dogs with bony skin, their flesh looking like one rough step, and it would slide off. So were missing skin on their cheeks, letting one see their entire mandible and teeth.
Others were beings with no likeness to anything Vale had seen back in his ho world.
So had twisted limbs that were much longer than their body and eyes that seed permanently affixed open, bloodshot. So had long, spiky tails and flailed around.
The only thing they all had in common seed to be their desired prey...
Vale would have tried counting how many there were, if there were any rit in doing so. Not only could he not see the end of the vicious beasts, he couldn’t see himself surviving this onslaught.
In an instant, the horde began bounding into the Dungeon.
"Don’t let the black substance touch you!"
Salo’s wings began to glow brighter than ever before, and fifteen quills separated from the leather canvas and floated around her.
Vale slowly let his arm holding the whip fall to his side.
’Oh... we’re dead.’
Then... Vale felt it again. The sa ancient darkness he felt when he’d first been transported into the dungeon.
In the next mont, a literal tide of shadows washed over the charging abominations and then consud him and Salo.
