My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem

Chapter 1459

She glowed, and her body came at me with incredible speed. I directly met her attack again, but with the added momentum of her speed, I was the one thrown back this time. I had hoped that this sudden explosive speed was merely a skill like my own Explosive Movement, but I was being too hopeful. She began to launch attack after attack, throwing me back. However, where I was aiming to methodically knock her out of the ring, she seemed to be fine throwing me around any which direction, playing with her prey rather than trying to win.

Although she was injuring me, it still wasn’t at a level where I felt hopeless. She hadn’t healed from the damage I had done earlier. Meanwhile, my regen had me quickly recovering from attacks. I could also always cast a heal and recover damage I had received. As much as I hated to admit it, this became a battle of attrition. I’d need to slowly build up damage until she fell.

Our battle was at a silver level, so it was one of the more interesting battles going on. Silver battles were more common, but the fighting occurring within was closer to what one would see in a Diamond or Gold battle. There were usually only 2-3 Diamond and Gold battles a night, so such a display quickly grew a crowd. People cheered as they watched a tall woman toss a man twice her size around the ring. This is exactly what I meant when I said women were just as strong as men. Physical size seemingly meant very little in this world. A bunny rabbit could kill a goliath given the right stats.

“Master, I think we should rely on that.” Alysia offered as I hit the ground again.

I was having trouble getting another hit on her. If I couldn’t at least build up damage, then I’d be the one who eventually wore out. On that note, how long would a fight like that go on? There was one other plan I had to increase my power in a fight.

“You certain you can pull it off?” I asked her.

“Yes, Master, I’ve been practicing with shaping myself a lot lately. I should be able to manage.”

“Alright, do it!”

I rolled back to my feet and then lifted my hands. The blessing on the back of my hand glowed and then that glow grew, covering my hands. When they finished forming, I was wearing two metal gloves. This was Alysia’s new weapon form, gauntlets! Although Alysia had become several other items since she had become a sword, those were usually tools. There was a difference between the stress a tool would have to face and the stress a weapon would have to face. Ultimately, she was most powerful as her sword form. If she changed forms too radically from that, she would lose a great deal of her strength. The drill could be cut in half with a powerful enough sword strike.

That’s why we had held off on the gloves. Her body integrity would assuredly be reduced in this form. She had to practice a bit and get comfortable with this form. Still, I wouldn’t use this form if the opponent had cutting weapons or anything like that. It would ultimately be too difficult to keep her safe. However, with her form so close against my own hands, I believed we could pull it off.

“Oh? What’s this?” the lioness smirked.

“It’s time to end this.”
