--[Greater Water Crow] POV--

Hungry!!!! Smell power!!

--Magnus POV--

That damn bird! It is breaking my earth dome barriers! Luckily I have a made 2, but he keeps clawing them and at this rate I only have 1 minute until he gets here! Damnit! THINK, JUST THINK! He has no poison resistance but I already tried the [Poison Winged Centipede]... that's it [Poisoned Thorns]! I quickly command the existing [Poisoned Thorns] to tangle around my core. But I bet this is still not enough! It might poison him and he might even die but it's such a weak poison that by the he dies it would be in 8 minutes. I don't have that time!!

Feeling a headache as I watch the damned bird brash once more into the earth barrier and finally destroys the top barrier I curse it.

As I look around for a solution my eyes suddenly lands on the two herbs I have in my dungeon and I blank for a moment before I smile and turn to the [Poisoned Thorn].

I didn’t have time to try and quickly try to have the [Poisoned Thorn] mix its roots with a sleeping her to try and see if a new monster was born but suddenly Pochi crawls out of the barrier.

“Pochi!!” She cried as the flowers over her body opened up.

The stupid bird suddenly attacked at this time but as soon as it entered the domain where I could sense it Pochi sudden seem to explode as a dense cloud of yellow pollen spread out over the entire area around my dome covering the entire dungeon and blasting the damned bird who tries to rise but it lose control and slammed his damned beak right into the dome and broke through but only the head had crossed the barrier allowing it to see my bound core.

It’s body was spasming as I realized that Pochi had released a kind of potent paralyzing pollen probably a result of her being born from an [Alluring Rose] and a [Paralyze Herb]

A grin appears on my mental lips as I command the [Poisoned Thorn] to unbind me causing a glint to appear on the damned bird’s eyes but I quickly instructed the [Thorn] to bind the neck and suffocate it while injecting as much poison as possible.

I could see the damned bird was willing his body to move as it thrashed trying to get out of the [Thorn]’s grasp but Pochi was pouting outside and she made a long vine with a black rose at the end and to my utter astonishment the vine as filled with dangerously sharp thorns that put the [Thorns] to shame.

She swung her arm causing the rose whip to slam on to the bird and I didn’t know whether to laugh or be in awe because at each swing she would go “Pochi! Pochi!”

All the while the bird kept thrashing even more frantically until it finally broke the barrier enough to escape.

It quickly limped and beat its wings trying to take flight and just as it was about to leave the dungeon domain, Pochi’s vine swung out and wrapped around the bird.

As it slammed the ground it looked back only to see Pochi’s face who grinned and licked her lips.

A shiver ran down my spine as I thought, “Damn this glutton! I just finished feeding her and she is damned hungry again!”

She slowly dragged the bird and I even felt some pity for the thing because he would be reduced to fertilizer for this glutton but I was surprised when that actually happened. She wasn’t going to eat with her mouth and was actually dragging the bird into the ground as I thrashed around. Sadly for it and to my horror I had to watch as the roots of the surprisingly sadistic rose with an infant's mind, wrapped the bird and slowly crushed its bones and dragged it underground until it finally died.

You have obtained 1525 mana from a dead [Greater Water Crow]

I stare at the wind and realize the strength of that bastard bird was even more than I expected and then it kind of made me think, “As expected of a dungeon boss monster. Even when I’m so weak it's still over powered.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

Because the [Stunning beauty] has spread her Paralyzing pollen, it has pollenized several plants creating new creatures. The pollen has also invaded the body of one of your creatures.A [Sleeping herb] has been pollinated by [Stunning Beauty] and has birthed a [Snaring Tranquilizing Vine]A [Thorn] has been pollinated by [Stunning Beauty] and has birthed a [Paralyzing Thorn Spitter]A [Poisoned Thorn] has been pollinated by [Stunning Beauty] and has birthed [Poisoned Thorn Warrior]A [Poisoned Swamp Tree] has been pollinated by [Stunning Beauty] and has birthed [Poised Swamp Treant]An [Earth Wisp] has been invaded by [Stunning Beauty] pollen and due to the nature of the being it has assimilated the pollen and evolved into an [Alluring Pixie]

I just blinked as I read all this and took a quick look around as I see several new plants and even see the walking tree sprout moving its roots like feet as it tries to find a good patch of dirt for itself.

Suddenly a small extremely cute pixie 10 cm tall appeared near the dome and it strangely looked similar to Pochi. She hugged Pochi on the neck before turning to me and stared at the core for a long moment.

I wondered what she wanted before I heard that familiar sound of a bear growling. My eyes narrow as I see the fairy grow teary eyed and rub her belly and look at me before opening her mouth and pointing and say “Ahn!”

I almost wished I could hit my head against the walls as I try to figure out why I had so many gluttons appear.

I feed her 5 mana and she rubbed her belly and burped before she flew close and kissed my core and then flew off.

As I was rubbing my mental forehead a message suddenly popped up.

For obtaining more than 1000 mp you have unlocked the following features on the menu.

[/tds]

[tr]

Island ExpansionAt the cost of 100 mana for 1 meter in diameter added to the island you can expand your dungeon island.

Max until second island is 50 meters in diameter

Monster MergeA boss monster is the creation of two monsters but for common monsters until now breeding was the only option. Now you can take and merge any living creature with any other living being or inanimate object.

One creature must be the base, the creature that will be the dominate mind, and the other will merge with the base creature.

Mana cost is 200 mana to start the process but each monster has its own extra cost. Stronger base monster results in higher mana cost

If I had a body I would be on my roots with joy because these are vital things I had lacked. Although experimenting brings about unique combo’s it won’t make the strongest creatures I can get at full maturity like I can get with this. Also expanding the island is completely vital.

I waste no time I pouring 600 mana to getting 6 meters and reaching 15 meters in diameter for my island.

I grin as I look at the remaining mana that was still over 1000 mana I could work with. With all the new plants and seeing the pixie appear it began to make me think of how to bulk up my dungeon so that other crappy birds don’t fuck with me any more.
