The dragon's harem

Chapter 461 The Dragon’s Heist: Wild Card

Thud! Isdis jumped from the balcony, carrying her mother in her arms, “Rotten bastards!” She screamed, glaring back at the hordes of flesh-eaters on the balcony.

“Isdis! The ground!” Her mother cried, but Isdis smiled, shaking her legs to rattle her ankle bracelets. CHA-CHIN! In the blink of an ice, an ice slope burst into reality, and the two slid on it, jumping over the walls.

CRACK! The two landed on a tile roof, falling inside a house and destroying a bed. .𝙘𝙤𝙢

“GAAA!” Isdis cried, and her mother puked beside the bed. She took a heavy hit to the stomach.

When Isdis looked to the side, she saw a woman hiding in the closet with a little girl, a mother with her daughter just like them. “Ah, Shit!” She sighed. Her mother isn’t a fighter and is injured, and on top of that, she hands two civilians that she can’t just abandon.

She approached the window, pulled a whistle, and blew it. A few seconds later, two whistles replied from the castle. “Good, Rey and Ray are fine. If it’s just running around, those two would be fine.”

“A coin, please.” Isdis heard a voice behind her, and she almost freaked out, “You scared me!” She turned around, glaring at the old lady staring at her. Isdis’s mother, the civilian mother, and her daughter stared at the old lady. They didn’t see her enter the room.

“A coin, please.” The old lady replied, and Isdis snorted at her, “Fuck off old hag. We have a city to save. You can beg for money later.”

The old hag laughed, “Always the same, aren’t we? Gin and Kin must have taught you well,”

“Not enough to save the capital, it seems,” Isdis scratched her head, “As the princess, I ask you to blast every undead in the city if you can. Avoid Eris and Arad. You don’t need me to tell you that, right?”

“Fine, but I expect an adequate payment,” The old hag disappeared.

A flesh eater accompanied by several zombies and skeletons approached the house. They got word that the princess was hiding there, so they came to kill her.

BAM! The flesh eater kicked the door open with a smile on his face, excited to taste royal flesh.

He froze in place, seeing something he didn’t expect. A massive, cat-like green eye stared at him from the room. A brass draconic head so big it was breaking the ceiling glared at him.

From behind the house, the other undead could see the body of a massive brass drakaina, only her head in the house with her neck and body sitting beside the wall, hiding by the other houses.

“Run!” The flesh eater screamed, but it was too late. The drakaina opened her mouth, and her lungs expanded. ROAR!

A blast of compressed air exploded in a repulsive breath. The shockwave shattered the skeletons’ bones and sent everyone flying back across the streets.

Back in the fort, Vars pulled a crystal orb and looked at the city from the sky, “The brass drakaina of Cluckenberg. The retired warmonger is a problem, isn’t she? I was surprised when she decided to stop Gojo and the white dragon from fighting before, but I guess she’s been paid to protect the city.” He giggled, shifting his focus toward the castle.

“Kin and Gin, the agent sisters of the metallic dragons. They’ve been monitoring the humans for centuries while serving the royal family, but they seem to have gotten a bit too attached. The golden diviner is currently protecting the castle’s servants from the undead while the silver storm is taking care of the royal family. Those are the three dragons in the city,” He smiled, “No other threats are left unmonitored.

As Vars smiled with everything going according to plan, one of his monitoring points blacked out. “What?” He looked once again into the crystal, “A lucky shot? I’m sure Arad’s group, the dragons, or Alphonse are nowhere near it,” He looked, but another one blacked out.

“Something is taking the vultures down,” Vars shifted the vision into one of the undead in the city, and he saw it, a black Jaguar leaping from one building to another, hunting his undead vultures one by one.

^A druid? No, that magic belongs to a warlock,^

Thud! The Jaguar stopped for a second, glaring at the flesh eater Vars control for a brief moment before disappearing into the darkness of night.

ROAR! From the dark, the Jaguar lunged, crushing the flesh eater’s skill in his jaw.

Engulged in black smoke, the Jaguar shifted into a little kid, wiping the sweat off his face, “I’m the blade of the capital. You think I won’t smell your evil from here?” The kid growled, his eyes turning toward the mountains.

“AH! Maharaja, grant me thy power. Today, we shall have a great hunt,” His eyes flashed golden.

CLACK! Vars growled, almost throwing the crystal ball away, “The blade of the capital? Who’s that kid? No, he said Maharaja. That’s the Rakshasa’s queen of the hunt and the god eater. Since when that wild animal is granting power to people?”

“Send Titanozora! I don’t care about the damage. Kill that kid. I don’t want any wild cards on my table!” He growled, and a pair of ghosts rushed out, flying to the mountains.

Inside the dungeon, Arad lunged forth with a kick, hitting Gug in the face with a passive face, sending her flying back at the wall.

CLANG! Meimei tapped the ground with a staff, [Horrid Wilting] Strands of magic rushed toward Arad, sucking water out of his body at a rapid rate.

“I will dry him out! Knock him out the moment he started showing weakness.” She cried but soon gasped as she felt a massive amount of water getting sucked out of him with no end in sight.

Keno luged forth with a horizontal swing at Arad’s neck, “Die!”

Thud! Arad bent down, dodging the strike, and caught Keno by the ankle. CRACK! Keno’s bone shattered under Arad’s grip in the blink of an eye, and he cried. “Let go of me!”

Without hesitation, Arad swung a fist at Keno’s head.

Thud! Gura caught Arad’s fist by the wrist and kicked him in the face, sending him rolling across the room.

“GAAAAAAAAA!” Keno screamed on the ground, missing his left foot. “Amolis! Fucking heal me!”

“At once, don’t move!” Amolis rushed in, but as soon as he started healing Keno, he saw Arad lunging at them. “Stop him!” He cried.

BAM! Gug rushed in, punching Arad in the face, but he retaliated with another punch.

ROAR! Gug growled, sending a punch after the other, and Arad kept retaliating. In one second the two were exchanging punches at a terrifying rate with blood splashing everywhere.

“When will your spell work?” Amolis glared back at Meimei, but she replied with a sweaty face.

“I don’t know! It’s like he has a whole fucking lake inside him!” She cried. Arad’s water supply seemed bottomless to her. She didn’t know about his stomach or that he kept it stocked with massive amounts of water, food, potions, weapons, and gold.

“Damn it, then do something else!” Amolis growled, “Keno almost bled to death here!” He slapped Keno’s back as he finished healing him, “Go!”

Keno quickly jumped back into the fight, and Meimei ground her teeth.

“I have another thing. It’s bad news.” Meimei growled.

“What now?” Keno shouted as he swung his blade at Arad’s neck, forcing him to move away from Gug. Jogan lifted his hand and shouted, [Force field]

A clear sphere of pure magic engulfed Arad, locking him for a few seconds.

“I don’t sense any stress on his body yet,” Meimei said, “He isn’t using even a quarter of his power,”

CRACK! The sphere shattered, and Arad lunged forth, swinging his sword at Meimei’s head.

“Heh!” She gasped, ^I’m dead,^

CLANG! Keno lunged in and deflected Arad’s sword, “Gura!” He shouted, and Gura kicked Arad away from them.

“At least his movements are simple. Whoever is controlling him, he can’t tap into Arad’s full skills, or at least anything that relies heavily on his mind and experience.” Keno said with a smile on his face, “We can with this, as long as we don’t make any grave mistake.”
