The dragon's harem

Chapter 546 A New Ally, But She’s Useless.

“Huh?” Amber stood and approached Merlin. She picked a stick and started poking her chest from afar.

“Guu!” Merlin growled, rolling away, “Mom, five more minutes…”

“Wake up.” Amber started poking her like a kid tormenting a worm.

“Pervert wizard, wake up,” Amber lifted the stick up. SWOSH! A small flame burned the tip, turning it into a red-hot amber.

PSHHHHHHH! With one poke at her side. “GYAAAAAAAAAA!” Merlin cried rolling away, “That stings!”

“Finally awake,” Amber stared at her, disappointed, “What am I doing here wasting my life on you?” 𝑖𝘦.𝑐𝘰𝘮

“AHHH!” Arad woke up, sat up, and turned toward them. “AH! Merlin, where did you come from?”

Amber stared between them in silence for a second before jumping between them. “ARAD! Don’t look!” She spread her robe, covering Merlin.

“ARA?!” Merlin looked down, “I’m naked, aren’t I?”

“So what?” Arad asked, “Is something wrong with her being naked?”

“You aren’t to say that!” Amber growled at him.

“She saw me naked enough to make that stone thing, and she even rode on my back. Why would she care if I saw her naked?” Arad waved his finger. [Gravity Magic] He lifted Amber’s legs off the ground, causing her to fall.

“Now that you mentioned it,” Merlin thought, remembering how she rode on Arad’s back in his draconic form. He’s practically naked all that time. “I did ride on your back while you were naked.”

“What relation you two are in?” Amber shouted, her eyes darting between them.

“She spies on me all the time with magic,” Arad pointed at Merlin. “That’s probably how her mind made that statue.”

“OI!” Amber turned toward Merlin, pulling her by the neck, “You pervert wizard! How could you spy on someone? Let alone someone we know, an ally? That’s an invasion of privacy,” She started shaking her like a jug of milk, no, she had two of those on her. .

“He’s a rare specimen,” Merlin cried, choking, “It’s like watching a rare bird in the wild… For magic.”

“I would take that over mages cutting me apart,” Arad said with a passive face.

“You shut up, kid! I’m sure this pervert had other motivations up her ass, big ones.” Amber glared at her.

“Can’t deny that…” Merlin growled with a shaking face, “But I have big motivations up my chest as well…”

“You’re choking her!” Arad called Amber.

“This pervert still jokes around, she’s fine, that won’t kill her.” Amber growled, dropping Merlin down with a grunt, “You better drop that act of yours, immediately,”

“I will think about it,” Merlin giggled.

Arad sighed, taking his shirt off, “It’s bloody, but you can wear it. Amber seems to be distracted by you being naked.”

Amber sighed, “Well, that would…hold up!” She cried, seeing Arad topless. “Why are you stripping?” She cried with a red face.

“I’m giving her my shirt?” Arad looked at Amber, confused.

“I mean, you weren’t wearing only one in the freezing snow, were you?” She cried.

“I was, the cold doesn’t bother me,” Arad replied with a passive face as he handed the shirt to Merlin.

Merlin looked at the shirt, and sniffed it, “ARAD’s scent?!” She took a deep whiff, “It reeks with blood.”

“Why sniff it!!” Amber rushed in and snatched the shirt from Merlin’s hand.

“Human’s sense of smell is weak,” Arad looked at Amber as if stating the obvious.

As a dragon, Arad identifies people by sight, sound, and smell like most animals do. But on top of that, he can also identify people based on their magic, the tremor they feel when walking, and their thoughts.

“Hoi! You, how defenseless can you be?” Amber stared at her, but she fell silent, staring at him topless. “HOLY ABS! Are those twelve?” She cried.

“See, how can I not spy on those?” Merlin giggled, “They look delicious,” She was starting to droll.

“Right…NO! I mean SHUT UP! Couger!” Amber growled, “Since you’re here, time to leave. No need for us to clear this whole labyrinth,”

Amber reached into her pocket about to pull out the teleport crystal.

“I can’t leave,” Merlin said with a serious face.

Amber paused, “What did you say?”

“I can’t leave, look at me,” Merlin replied.

“She’s empty,” Arad said.

It was then that Amber realized. Merlin doesn’t have a single drop of mana in her body. She’s a mana-less human.

“How come!” Amber cried.

“This labyrinth is smart,” Merlin wore Arad’s shirt. “ARA! Look, it fits me like a really short robe, as expected from the huge Arad.”

“Focus!” Amber stared at her, “What do you mean his labyrinth is smart?”

“It knows humans care about their lives. All of my and Arad’s powers are sealed at the top layer with the core.” Merlin looked up, “She let me and him here in hope we would give up, and leave without our powers to survive. Doing that would allow this labyrinth to absorb that power and grow stronger,”

Amber scratched her head, “That’s kinda smart, it’s the power the labyrinth is after, not killing us.”

“That’s true,” Merlin replied.

“Can’t we rush to the upper layer and steal your powers? I’m sure you can get us out in one spell.” Amber stared at her, “I don’t like how you act, but I’m not doubting your skill with magic.”

Merlin thought about it for a second, “I doubt I can do it. This labyrinth is resistant to my magic since it was built with it after all,”

“Then what can we do?” Amber scratched her head. ^That doesn’t matter. We get her power then I send her and Arad out. This is the only solution.^

“But,” Merlin smiled, looking at Arad, “The labyrinth is scared of Arad. It was really trying to kill him and be done with it,”

“Scared of me?” Arad looked at Merlin with a passive face.

“A labyrinth is scared?” Amber gasped.

“I mean,” Merlin looked at Arad with a smile, “With his power, he’s more terrifying than me. He could probably rip this whole labyrinth to shreds in a second.”

“Arad can?” Amber stared at him.

“He can,” Merlin stood with a smile.

“Well then, shall we go to the second layer?” Arad stood, cracking his neck. “I’m motivated now that we know Merlin is safe,”

“ARAD!” Merlin jumped at him, hugging him from the side.

“Come here!” Amber pulled her away, “You’re practically naked wearing only his shirt, stop getting too clingy!”

“I need Arad to protect me with those strong arms! I can’t fight now, remember!” Merlin pushed Amber away and hugged Arad again.

Just then, it finally clicked in Amber’s head. ^This labyrinth was releasing a strange aura into the city, was it this idiot’s hornyness?^

“Arad! Protect me!” She started rubbing her face on his chest.

“Come here!” Amber pulled Merlin away by the hair, ^Magic must be affecting her, but even so. I gotta protect Arad from this cougar, even if it was the last thing I do.^

As Amber pulled Merlin toward her, ^OH! It might really be the last thing I do if everything goes according to plan.^
