Chapter 313: Harpy Aello
The bedroom war with Gremory ended in what was technically my victory. Just like someone said, my dick nearly got crushed into the shape of Gremory’s pussy, but I endured that pain and patience and succeeded in sending Gremory off.
"Nice. It’s been a really long time since I enjoyed it this much."
Even after cumming inside once, both Gremory and I had plenty of energy left. For me, I had things to do afterward so I kept some strength in reserve, and Gremory just had energy to spare.
"Hey, you said earlier we weren’t doing seed-planting sex. So what’s this about?"
Gremory smirked and made me grab her belly with my hand. My eyes went dizzy at the phrase flickering on the system window.

"You said we’re having sex because we’re making love. So what’s this all about?"
"...I-I said I’d make you have kids so you’d only look at me! When I pulled my hips back, you thought I was pulling out so you wrapped your legs around me even harder—who was that?!"
"Me. I’m happy about it. Who would’ve known that a menopausal woman, someone who had no choice left but tentacle egg-laying, would get to hold new life in her arms again like this? Hoho."
"...Yeah, yeah. Let’s at least check what’ll be born first."
What would the compatibility be like with fallen angel Gremory? I checked the family tree between Gremory and me.
[Dungeon Lord × Gremory]
[Expected Result - Gremory (★★★★☆)]
Fallen Angel/Orc (☆☆☆ 99.3%)
???? (☆☆☆☆☆☆ 0.7%)
"Ninety-nine percent 3-star? Hey, this is totally expansion gacha level, right? Aside from the 1% reincarnation possibility, our daughter’s definitely coming out as an angel."
"...It might not be a daughter though?"
"Have you ever seen a male among the harpy species? It’s the same with angels. It’s definitely gonna be a girl."
Therefore, the gender of the child I’d have with Gremory was definitely female. I continued talking while putting new stockings on Gremory, who’d just changed her panties.
"Later when you take charge of a legion, you can give the Gremory name to our kid."
"Already acting like you unified the legions? You won against one legion and you’re getting all cocky?"
"Of course I gotta walk around with my shoulders back. We’ve got nothing but smooth sailing ahead in life now. Hehe."
Starting with the Legion of Pride, as I increase them one by one, I’ll rise to a key position in the Demon King’s army and unify all demons across the continent. And a new religion—the Church of Ras—will spread widely across the entire continent.
"From now on, we’ve only got winning ahead of us. I ransacked the 38th-ranked dungeon—what are the other guys gonna do?"
"Once things stabilize, the 40th-ranked dungeons will start sizing you up one by one too. You’re mistaken about something, you know? The enemies we have to fight aren’t just those above us. You gotta watch out for uprisings from below too."
"Why?"
"Don’t think that just because you stole a name, the dungeon with that name will just stay put. If people just sat still after losing their name in Seizure Battles, would Solomon’s 72 dungeons have lasted?"
"...That’s true too."
I systematically ransacked them starting from the 72nd-ranked Andromalius dungeon. Even with some gaps in between, I erased all of them up to the Flauros breakwater.
"Do they come back to life? But I stole the name, right? How does that work?"
"In the past, it’d be like ’Someone of unknown identity has been granted the name [Gremory]!’ I don’t know anymore though. What’ll happen to names subordinated to a legion?"
"Hmm... I don’t think they’ll increase anymore though? Won’t they be reorganized into our legion?"
"That’d be best. But if there are any names you didn’t get, stay alert. Guys staging uprisings might launch a surprise attack on Flauros’s dungeon."
"Ugh."
If you get attacked first, you have to take attacks one-sidedly for 3 days. It’s a pretty shitty aspect, but for the attacking side, it’s a great system.
"Isn’t there some way to exploit the portal direction changes?"
"You’re trying to do something weird again, aren’t you? Don’t mess with Lord Solomon’s system again. You could get seriously burned doing that, you know?"
"Solomon’s on the side of capable people. Hell, if I somehow screw over all the 40th-rankers and organize them into legions, he’d probably be happy, right? And I won’t fully commit. I’ll just feel things out to see if it’s possible and dip my hand in and out real quick."
"Ha, is the Seizure Battle your dick? You can stick it in and pull out whenever you want?"
"Calling it a dick. Sticking it in and pulling out whenever... Gremory!"
I lifted Gremory up.
"Thanks! Thanks to you, I just thought of a killer idea! A way to follow the system without bothering Lord Solomon and screwing over enemies!"
"What is it?"
"Hehe, let’s find out later. I’ll tell you once the legion reorganization is done. I’m gonna launch battles on a wide scale."
It was about time. I linked arms with Gremory and went outside. In front of the summoning facility, Shaitan was fiddling with the system and welcomed me.
"One minute left. Right on time."
"I cleaned up a bit too, and talked about the direction our legion should go. You didn’t just keep it on and only check the time, did you?"
"...Just in case something happened."
"Hehe, how cute, Shaitan."
Gremory linked arms with Shaitan and poked her cheek. Shaitan showed displeasure but started sniffing Gremory’s body with her nose.
"Congrats on the deflowering."
"...Wow, you can tell by smell?"
"It stays even after you wipe it off. Especially the smell of virgin blood. Especially when it’s a smell mixed with Master’s like this."
"Hmph, you got deliciously eaten by him yourself."
"That’s why I’m congratulating you, isn’t it?"
Leaving the two bickering for now, I stood before the cocoon with its membrane pulsing. What form would the synthesized harpy greet me in?
"Congrats on being born as a new existence!"
Rip, rip.
The shell began opening. And from there, I met a completely new existence I hadn’t expected at all. Not a harpy, not a Black Raven—a completely new species was born.
"A... harpy?"
"I’m Harpy Aello, Legion Commander."
A clear female voice. To put it extremely, except for the talons below her wrists and ankles, she was basically in perfect human form. Even her voluptuous body line that seduced men made me gulp.
"The wings... quite unique."
1-star harpies had wings sprouting from their elbows.
2-star Harpy Angels had wings on their backs with their entire arms shaped like bird legs.
But this 3-star Harpy ’Aello’ likewise had wings on her back. However, those wings had gray feathers with a steel-like texture.
"Shaitan. These get registered directly with the Demon King’s army when summoned, right?"
"Yes. They should have been registered immediately with Magic Stone Summon. Even if you summon now, the Demon King’s army will somehow give birth and send them."
The recipe should have transferred to the system too, so when I summon with magic stones, whether they use time-acceleration magic or some special measure, they’ll make it somehow and send it.
’But that’d be making them suffer, so I should do it.’
[Magic Stone Summon]
[Harpy Aello 487 / 77 (Mid-grade)]
"...As expected, ordering raw materials and processing them fresh is way better. Hmm."
It’s definitely not because summoning one Black Raven is cheaper. It’s just that the harpies in our dungeon have worked hard, so they deserve this reward.
"Then Harpy Aello, from today your quarters will be Halphas’s dungeon. Reside in the tower on the surface 2nd floor."
"Um... Legion Commander, does that mean I can’t work at the ranch anymore?"
Harpy Aello showed disappointment with a regretful face. It seems my assumption that getting stronger to 3-star would mean no more sexual activity was wrong.
’She seems to have an even stronger sex drive.’
While I’m happy that she herself hopes to keep laying eggs, can she actually lay eggs? Or more precisely, who would there be to make her lay eggs?
"Hey. Spread your legs."
Harpy Aello immediately sat on her butt and spread her legs. Born naked from birth, Harpy Aello was very pale—all the Black Raven components must have gone into the wings.
"That’s big."
"Super big."
"...My forearm could just go right in, couldn’t it?"
However, there was one component that didn’t escape at all.
Size.
"Looks like easily over 3 meters..."
"Legion Commander? Don’t tell me... I can’t do it because I’m too big?!?!"
"There are many people capable of various things in this world, Harpy Aello."
I could only console her.
"...Should I summon a troll or ogre who can handle avian types too?"
No matter how well-endowed I am, it was impossible against a subordinate of post-human size. While it might be possible to stick it in a hole and cum, that wouldn’t satisfy Harpy Aello’s desires.
’That’s literally just cumming in a hole.’
Just firing into empty space with left and right wide open. In that case, it’d be way better to requisition a monster matching her size.
"...22cm."
The diameter was 22cm.
***
[Shortly after, Halphas’s dungeon.]
"Wow, she flies around really well because she’s big. The space is totally filled up."
Harpy Aello was moved to Halphas’s dungeon as planned. Since it was an empty dungeon with no one moved in yet, Harpy Aello could freely fly through the sky alone.
"Legion Commander, I’m really living here?!"
"Yeah, yeah. I’ll have the ghouls bring materials to build a house, so you stick logs into the wall or whatever to make places for you to step."
"Can I really use that entire wide floor at the top for my nest?!"
"Of course. There might be some blood smell, but you can use it. Just don’t touch Halphas’s floor. That has a separate owner."
I gave the Corpse Hawk’s floor to the harpies as their nest. They could come down to the lower floor whenever they wanted to fly freely, then go up when tired to rest comfortably.
’Perfect for intercepting those coming up from below too.’
What reaction would adventurers show when encountering a flock of 3-meter harpies suddenly descending from the ceiling? They’d have a binary choice for climbing the tower:
Dangerously come straight up the stairs.
Or climb up through the slime tunnel I dug out.
You could call them the frontal assault route and the shortcut route, but the latter has one route in the middle that goes straight up a pillar. And they converge at the stairs at the 2/3 point anyway.
’Even if there are those flying through the air, the harpies can handle them.’
Harpy Aello’s max level expanded to 55 when she became 3-star. Considering Shax was executive-class in Halphas’s dungeon, she should be able to demonstrate her abilities sufficiently against ordinary mobs.
"Harpies synthesized with Black Ravens will be summoned here one by one. Until then, you two need to manage this dungeon well. Got it?"
"Got it, Master."
Andras. She was temporarily put in charge of managing Halphas’s dungeon. Taking the position of administrator, not granted the name [Halphas].
’I gotta strengthen these guys too.’
Andras is 5-star now, so there’s no growth limit. Therefore, if pumping through magic fluid and regular sub-dungeon conquests happen, she’ll fully play the role of aerial forces leading the Harpy Aellos.
"You’ll find out soon which sub-dungeon you’ll conquer. I’ll send magic fluid regularly."
"Got it, Master. ...Then what happens to Harpuia? You gonna strengthen her too?"
"Well."
Her own will matters most, but still, thinking of her as a monster carrying my blood made me not very keen on it.
"...Wouldn’t it be bad to have a 100-level 2-star Harpy Angel? Right?"
"If that’s what Master thinks."
There are many who need to get stronger. The stronger they get, the more diverse their roles become.
"From now on, even without me going directly, you need to become my role and block invaders. Operate the dungeon here for a while and gain experience. Can’t let the name [Andras] rot forever."
"Master, could it be...?"
"Yeah. I’m planning to gradually increase the number of bases now."
Just like Ami from Halphas’s legion attempted an attack on Gremory’s dungeon, I plan to attempt the same against guys from other legions.
Me, registered as Andras’s dungeon.
Gremory.
And [Halphas], who will resurrect someday.
"If I start a war next time, I’ll open portals in 3 places simultaneously."
Hit the enemy legion’s leadership, forward base, and rear all at once.
