My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem

“I don’t wanna die!” I cried, racing down the hallway back to the hole.

“He’s attacking! So fast!”

“Ahhhh!” I fell as my leg was suddenly gone.

A blur that was the squirrel had shot through my leg, cutting it off just like that. I collapsed to the ground, spinning around in time to see it a few meters away, sitting on top of my removed leg. I let out a scream and threw another blade at it. My throw was perfect, but just as the blade reached it jumped up. I swore it walking along the blade as it passed before harmless landing back on my leg. As for the blade, it split in two right down the middle flying off into two pieces behind the squirrel.

“Why are you so powerful!” I cried out.

“Master, what is going on?” Terra cried out, looking around the corner.

I wasn’t far from the hole and had already made it back halfway before I was hit by the squirrel.

“Terra, run for your life!”

Terra cocked her head, looking at me without a leg, and then the squirrel. “It’s… a squirrel?”

“Watch out!”

The squirrel jumped again, and this time I tried to hold up my hand to block it. My arm went this time.

“Master!” Terra’s eyes widened as she finally grasped what was happening.

Terra immediately ran to me and picked me up, turning and running. She did it in a way I was facing behind her. Lifting my hand, I started throwing out spells, anything I could to delay the squirrel. It dodged and danced around them, seemingly playing with me. It launched another attack, and I tried to protect Terra with my leg. It took my leg and Terra’s leg too. Terra didn’t fall as I had done. Instead, she immediately began hoping with one foot.

The squirrel looked up at us, and I swear in smirked. Was I going to die from a squirrel? Wasn’t that far too pitiful?

“It’s coming again!”

Terra jumped forward just as it blurred again. However, we reached the hole, and I saw it fly just over our heads as we fell into the hole. No… it had been aiming for our heads! We’d be headless had it succeeded in that attack.

We collapsed into the hallway, and Alysia took her human form, grabbing both Terra and me and pulling us down it. I watched in horror as the squirrel jumped down and landed in front of us. It leaped forward, clearly not happy at its failure to behead us. A blade trap launched, but it easily avoided it. Then, there was a sticky trap, which slowed it for a moment, but it quickly got out of it. Meanwhile, Alysia was pulling us back desperately to the end of the corridor.

She reached the end. Other than jumping down and being impaled on the spikes below, there was no escape. The squirrel jumped again, and an ice trap triggered. This came out in a freezing mist. The squirrel froze, its tail blaze going out, and then it landed a few feet in front of us with a thud, its body not moving. We stared in wonder as vine came from behind us, grabbed the unconscious squirrel up in its fine, and then began to consume it. It turned out the squirrel was extremely vulnerable to cold.

“We-we need more ice traps,” I spoke shakily.
