Chapter 1055: A Baby

Golden script appeared over Kaiden’s vision.

[Defending Dungeon Master located.]

For a moment he could only stare at the creature curled inside its sac. He had been looking for something that could speak, or fight, or at least stand up to greet the people slaughtering their way through its home.

This thing had yet to stretch its legs.

As they approached the hollow, its head shifted against the membrane. A row of eyes opened beneath its brow, followed by another below them, and Kaiden stopped.

Six eyes looked out from under growing plates of stone.

He remembered that arrangement looming over his home, high enough that looking up at it had hurt his neck.

"Kaiden?"

"The Claimant. Look at its face."

Yunohana came beside him. Recognition drained the amusement from her expression as her gaze traveled from the eyes to the folded limbs beneath the unfinished carapace.

"A creature of the same kind?"

"I’m not sure. But it is a Dungeon Master, like me and like Pebble used to be."

The sac bulged toward them. Inside, a hooked forelimb scraped against the membrane, too short to reach either intruder from the bottom of the hollow.

Kaiden extended his blood blade and drove it through the sac, straight between the creature’s eyes.

Its body convulsed around the weapon. Pale fluid gushed over the lip of the hollow as he pushed the blade through its head and into the stone beneath, pinning it there. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The folded limbs jerked once more, then sagged.

[Defending Dungeon Master slain.]

[Dungeon Master Duel concluded.]

[Victor: Kaiden Grey.]

"It says I’ve won," Kaiden said.

Yunohana stared at the body pinned by his blade.

"It’s over?"

"Seems so."

"It didn’t even try to defend itself."

Kaiden withdrew the weapon. Fluid dripped from its point into the torn sac, where the dead creature’s unfinished limbs lay tangled beneath its belly.

"I don’t think it could."

He had driven the blade through it expecting resistance, some hidden defense that would explain why the system had given this thing the same status as the monster that became Pebble.

It had died before he needed to put his back into the thrust.

[The defeated Master’s domain is forfeit.]

[Recipient: Dungeon #A23-6679.]

[Initiating Dungeon Integration.]

Golden light opened beside the hollow, widening into a view of the Abyssal Cavern. Kaiden recognized the dark rock beyond it as pale streams began lifting from the dead master’s sac.

"Maybe we should give it some room," Kaiden said, keeping hold of Yunohana’s hand. "I’m not sure how much of this place it’s going to take."

Unlike the Claimant, who itself was a walking dungeon, Kaiden was just the master of one. It seemed the dungeon claiming happened between the dungeons themselves.

They backed toward the chamber’s entrance while the streams thickened into a rushing current. Light drained from the veins overhead, pouring down the walls and into the opening to his dungeon.

All around them, the luminous channels went dark. The dead master’s plates crumbled into the flow, followed by its flesh, until the torn membrane sagged into an empty hollow.

"You’re taking the dungeon," Yunohana noted.

"Yeah. The Claimant lost everything it had consumed after the battle, too."

Watching it happen from beside him, she could feel the pull of the passing mana against her skin. The power that had sustained this master and its creatures was flowing toward the home of the man holding her hand.

"How much is this one worth?" she asked.
