My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem

Chapter 815

I had reasoned that if someone opened a Portal to a place underwater, they would have no choice but to be the first victim of the massive flow of water exploding through. However, then I had a thought. What if the person on the other side was already in the water? Of course, he’d be sucked through, but he’d be riding the wave, rather than getting struck by it.

Of course, I didn’t have any particular mobility in water. I’d be as helpless as a barrel, slamming through the walls as the current tossed me down the hallways of the castle. That was, unless, I had a very strong swimmer to grab on to. So, with my hands gripping tightly on the mermaid, I opened a Portal, and an entire lake started to drain into the demon castle.

The Portal appeared in front of a mob, which I had made sure was facing away from the enemy before I used my spell. The Portal opened, and then water began to spray out. The mermaid tried to hold us back, but the suction grew too strong too quickly, and the pair of us were sucked in. Soon, my head popped out at the top of the waves. I was riding the mermaid girl like someone might ride a dolphin. Except, she needed her arms and she had no fin, so the only thing I could hold on to was her breasts.

I only had the time to get a single breath, before we were forced underwater again. The world around me was chaotic, and I felt numerous dings as various items struck my outfit. The mermaid was probably hitting a lot of stuff too, but what was she if not a dungeon boss? If that was enough to defeat her, then she was misplaced. We hit a corner and she managed to turn us before I went splat against the wall. We then took another corner and then one after that. She managed to get out in front of the wave, giving the impression she was dragging the wave, rather than it was pulling us.

Thus, I saw Bernard running down the corridor before his eyes widened and he let out a shriek, only to be slammed by a wall of water and knocked out just like the elites.

“We got to get to the boss room!” I yelled out, although I didn’t know if the mermaid could hear me over the chaos of rushing water and clattering items slamming into the rocky walls.

She dived under the water and began beating her tail roughly. We seemed to be flowing in a particular direction, and I didn’t realize until I saw the big boss room like doors that we were heading straight to the throne room.

“S-s-stop!’

I had wanted to get to the room, not enter the room, but there was little choice. The mermaid was helpless as the wave slammed into the doors, causing them to burst open. I didn’t know if the Portal closed, the lake emptied, or the demon lord had some special property in his room, but the second we entered the water started to slow and the pair of us slowed to a stop as the water dropped to only a few inches high. We came to a stop, me on the mermaid, about twenty feet from the throne.

The Demon King was looking down at us with a severe expression on his face. Perhaps my plan to reach the Demon King worked surprisingly too well?
