Looking at the curvy voluptuous succubus wearing tattered brown greasy fur that revealed some of her skin, her clear red eyes, small nose caused even the tunnel master's eyes to flash with lust "Slave's being disrespectful to the higher up in every corner, tell me Lester are you even doing your job," said the Tunnel master
"Mother no," said S10, as she sobbed watching the lady succubus groveling and begging for her life after running over here.
"Please master not the corpse mover position, at least take me, and let my daughter continue working in the mine." said S10's mother
"Pathetic," he said as he ruthlessly kicked her on the side of the head, sending her flying.
Bang! Crash!
"S7 no!" screamed Lester
Hitting a nearby boulder she got up looked resentfully at the young tunnel master and wiped away her blood dripping down her mouth, S10 then came running toward her mother crying into her embrace, "My dear I told you not to meddle in other people's business now look at what that dwarf has gotten you into," she said, staring at me resentfully.
Pointing at me while holding back her tears, S7 screamed, "If it wasn't for you stupid dwarf my daughter would not be taken away from me, to go to her death as a corpse mover" she said
With impulse, I kneeled to her " I promise from this day forward I will protect S10 to repay her tenfold for helping me earlier, on recovering from being beaten to the brink of death" I said firmly.
Slap!
Feeling my cheeks burning, ears ringing, I looked up at S7, "Trash you better keep your word, or next time if you don't do as you promise I will make your head explode with just a slap filled with Ki" she said
"Hahaha, how entertaining, such drama from the demon slaves, enough with the chit chat, pack up and come with me," said the Tunnel master.
The hell!? pack up what? This bastard is just teasing us.
We left together with the 40 slaves, walked into the still being constructed mountain-sized building that looked similar to the Disney castle from my previous world.
Passing the working slaves stacking, and aligning the stone cube boulders to construct the walls.
After walking for a while I noticed the luminous rock crystals mounted on the walls became fainter the deeper we went inside the castle, we stopped abruptly, I then noticed we arrived in a dark room, but I still after a moment my eyes adjusted quickly.
With no light crystals, the place was darkish gray, I spotted men wearing black robes with hoods that covered their faces as they scribbled human language in strange sequences, on a large circular metal disk on the floor,
The hieroglyphic symbols extended to the nearby walls glowing red as these men were using their own blood to write.
*Appraisal*
*Magic spell soulist inscription for the low tier Omega treasure, Teleportation fortress*
Information flooded my brain, of a castle treasure that can teleport beings across realms and how the runes are drawn.
"I get it now this is a treasure used to teleport people out of the Terra kingdom, and us building this place is what I'm guessing the Molens are trying to stop us from doing." I thought
"If only I had material to make this I could also make a miniature version to escape this place with S10 in the future because I know for a fact slaves like us are not counted as one of the people to escape with."
*White-eyes*
*Skill activated*
Immediately my eyes become open to a whole different realm filled with different colors, energy flowing around the open dark space.
Threads of different colors filled the place like a rainbow as the threads floated around the room but the most distinctive out of all of them was the white threads that connected all the different colors into one and intertwined with the disc on the ground.
The disk had a large maze-like Celtic symbol that attracted the energies using the white threads as tentacles to absorb other energies creating a white orb that kept on growing at a very slow pace, but thanks to the 'white eye' skill vision I received, I could still notice the growth of the orb.
Not wanting the tunnel master to notice my awareness of the secrets of the disk I quickly glanced at the whole room like I was admiring the symbols made by the robed men.
"Amazing," I said
"Hm! Such a lowly slave seeing the Artificers at work must be a new thing for him, but it's not that amazing. It's just a couple of symbols, bet he can't even read the words of the human clan on the sides." Thought the tunnel master
Continuing on to climbing spiral steps in the room and walking up, the darkness reduced the higher we went, and the luminous rocks started appearing again till we reached the top that had intense glowing light rocks crystals. We reached the roof of the fortress which was a tall, wide, long wall spanning more than a km with 4 towers behind it, and at the front of the wall were four enormous tunnels at least 500 meters away.
And during that whole journey, the white eyes had been active showing no sign of switching off as if it was scanning for something, following the energies to outside the building leading outside to the top of the tower that was continuously engulfing energy directing it toward the disk inside the tower we came out off and at the top roof of the cave, there were light crystals packed together.
Howl!
The sound of a creature unknown to me came ringing in my eardrums, but I did not know what it could be.
"It's the Molens noo, I can't be here now! I'm going back," said a little middle aged goblin among us he tried to run.
Swoosh! Boom!
Without getting anywhere far he exploded into a red blood mist, I looked over to the Tunnel master whose eyes faintly glowed yellow then faded back to his normal black indifferent eyes. "I've had enough of you insolent bunch, if any of you try to escape it will be instant death, when we battle tomorrow make sure none of our outstanding warriors' bodies are taken by the Molens,
Or else it's death to you all," he said, waving his two fingers across his neck with a cruel smile.
After that he left us to work on preparing for tomorrow by fortifying the walls, and building barricades. Then another thin old goblin in his late 70's walked out, " Okay guys gather around, I hope we all now see our circumstances and take this job seriously because our lives depend on it." he said
"I will be the leader of this group and I recommend we split up to begin constructing the barricades in a way that can help us push back the enemy as we retreat back up here carrying the dead bodies," he said
So the plan was explained simply that the job of corpse movers is to take away the food of the Molens as they can eat the human warriors after battle to evolve, and with us slaves, our job was to steal back the bodies in the heat of the battle.
Then out of nowhere, a voice with an arrogant tone protested, "Who made you leader old fart goblin? I want to be the leader."
