The dragon's harem

Chapter 668 Void’s Second Stage: Reform

With a spark, the ball of light in front of Arad’s jaw disappeared. CRACKLE! The whole place exploded into a brilliant blue inferno.

[Curse of Domination: Fire Master]

Alony flew back, using his curse to fend off the flames. ^Those are hotter than this layer’s flames, but they aren’t that impressive compared to the lower layers,^

“What…” He tried to speak, but the moment he took a breath, his chest and throat exploded from the inside out, flashing into the blue flames. ^This smell? What did he do? It wasn’t magic…^ Alony fell from the sky, not being able to sense any magic before getting his lungs blasted was strange. Any spell that activates inside another person could be easily tracked since it touches their mana.

As he fell toward the ground, the sky of Dis shifted for the first time since the hell was created and it started raining. Alony could see Arad flapping his wings, disappearing into the lightning-infused storm clouds.

ROARRRRRRRRRR! Arad roared shaking the clouds as lightning struck down. Hundreds of bolts fell from the sky, sparking between each droplet of water and reaching Alony, charring him before the whole layer exploded into blue fire once again.

^Not a single drop of magic…how is he doing it?^ Alony’s body rolled on the ground, charred to the bones as he couldn’t even predict Arad’s attacks coming.

And before Alony could know it, it started raining again.

[Curse of Domination: Barrier of the Golden Jail] Alony protected himself with a powerful barrier. Just like before, lightning blasted the whole place before it ignited into a blue inferno.

^Same pattern? That dragon isn’t a fool. Can’t he control whatever he’s doing?^

**** .

Arad can control the void, even that exists in atoms themselves. This had allowed him, so far to crush matter back into pure energy and fire it as a powerful beam. Now, he’s discovering that with his improved control over his void, he reforms that energy back into matter.

He is by no means skilled to create anything he wants but still could recreate the simplest atom, the basic of basics, Hydrogen.

Dis is a layer of hell that boasts a temperature around 1500c, enough to melt iron. To keep that, it was akin to a massive, oxygen-rich furnace in which devils and sinners live.

Instead of firing a beam, he created a massive amount of hydrogen gas and released it into the air of Dis, which ignited upon contact with oxygen and heat of the layer leading to a massive explosion of blue flames reaching temperatures over 2000c. That heat was far above what the people of this layer are used to, burning Alony and everyone else to a crisp.

When oxygen and hydrogen burn together, they result in water vapor, which forms clouds and rains down. By flying through the newly formed clouds, Arad’s void agitated the water particles around his body, creating static electricity in the clouds and resulting in a massive lightning storm.

The light degraded the water back into hydrogen and oxygen, which re-explodes and repeats the cycle, over and over.

“I don’t what you’re doing, but I’ll kill you anyway,” Alony looked around through the thick fog, “Show yourself.” He quickly regretted that, seeing two massive void dragons prowling around him, growling like starving wolves.

“Two?” Alony cried, waving his hand. [Curse of Domination: Point Shift] He teleported away, but the two Arads remained around him as they followed him with void steps.

“You’re wasting my time,” One of the two Arads said. “Release Roberta’s bind,” The other said.

“Like I would do that,” Alony smiled, “It’s only a matter of time before run out of energy. I cannot die,”

“Go search for Lydia, burn the entire hell to the ground if necessary,” One of the two Arads said, and the other flew away.

“You think you can threaten hell?” Alony stared at him.

“Did I stutter?” Arad swung his claw at Alony.

Alony lifted his arm [Curse of Domination: Barrier of the Golden Jail]

Arad’s claw smacked him, shattering his protective barrier and sending him flying into the horizon.

Alony puked blood, staring toward the deserted layer and seeing Arad open his jaw in the distance, charging a massive beam.

With a swing of his hand, he pulled Roberta’s mother out of her cell in the basement of his castle. “Void dragon! Look, do you know who this is?”

Arad stopped charging his beam.

“Yeah! That’s right. You have a good nose. They smell alike, don’t they,” Alony giggled, “This is your beloved Roberta’s mother. You don’t want to kill her over and over, do you?”

Arad’s knowledge about the situation was very limited, he only woke up and wasn’t present for the whole devil investigation. All he could understand was that Roberta was taken by a devil and is under a curse, and that devil can lift it up.

Roberta’s mother wanted to scream, but being under the devil’s domination curse she couldn’t utter a word. Danging as the devil held her by the hair like a doll.

Alony smiled as he saw Arad closing his jaw, “That’s it, you better behave and…”

ZON! Arad appeared standing before them in his humanoid form, glaring down at Roberta’s mother with a void burning from his skin, creating a gentle breeze around his body.

“You!” Alony gasped. He didn’t expect Arad to be able to morph into his humanoid form and teleport in that split second.

Arad lifted his hands, grabbing Roberta’s mother’s face in his palms, staring directly at her eyes as he burned with a purple flame. “A mother, a black soul, yet still fighting,” He sucked air through his lips, and her body disappeared into his stomach engulfed by darkness. “It’s between her and her daughter,”

“You bastard!” Alony screamed as Roberta’s mother was snatched right from beneath his hands, “Die!”

Arad dodged Alony’s fist and swung back at him, unleashing a barrage of blinding fast punches, then grabbed Alony by the face and ground him on the floor as he flew away.

^What’s this raw power,^ Alony gasped, kicking Arad in the guts and flying away, ^No matter what I do, he just keeps coming after me,^ He looked back, seeing Arad’s foot flying toward him, kicking him in the back and breaking his spine.

^I see, gravity magic. He’s getting pulled toward me at all times.^ Alony healed his back and flew into the sky, keeping an eye on Arad.

Arad suddenly appeared in front of Alony’s face and punched him back to the ground.

^That wasn’t teleportation. He used time magic to accelerate.^ Alony gasped. ^I should be the strongest. I have the domination curse,^

Thud! Arad landed beside him, looking toward him with a passive face. “It’s all on your face. You wonder why you can’t beat me with your curse,” Arad said, lifting his hands, “You have an overpowered one after all, taking the abilities of anyone you control and using them.”

“What are you babbling about?” Alony growled.

“Don’t worry, I’m as a fool about curses as you are.” Pink tattoos appeared around Arad’s body, “But I can show you what true curses are about,” Arad’s voice shifted into a woman’s midsentence.

[No touching]

CLACK! Alony’s skin bubbled like soap, falling apart as he howled in agony, rolling on the ground and flailing his arms. “The stronger Arad gets, the stronger curses I can conjure,” Doma said, “This is a simple one that hits people touched by devils. You’re one, so your entire body gets messed up,”

^How does it work?^ Arad thought.

^[Long explanation. Let’s focus on giving this idiot a lesson first.]^

“Release Roberta and her mother from your curse. I’ll consider releasing mine,” Doma said with a grin.

“This won’t keep me down,” Alony growled, standing with his skin falling off, “Just how you aren’t going all out. I’m still not taking you seriously,” He put his hands together.

Doma jumped away, ^[Arad, we need to keep our distance.]^

“Let’s see who gives up first! Me or you, dragon.”
