The dragon's harem

Chapter 684 Arad Vs Vlad: Part VII I Keep My Words

?Arad’s void expansion faded from the distance as Kinryuu smiled, “He finished them,”

Vlad stared at his hands, “The blood,”

CRACK! Arad landed behind Kinryuu. Heat and steam gushed out of his massive back, “I ate them all,” Arad growled, approaching them.

“You look scary like that,” Kinryuu smiled, seeing Arad’s vampiric wyrmwolf for the first time.

“I was about to fight him alone,” Arad replied, shifting into his human form, “But thankfully, you and my clone returned,”

“My only job was to hold him off,” Kinryuu smiled, “I only made his defeat faster and safer for us. I also got to beat him to a pulp for Kin.” He walked past Arad as he shifted into his half-dragon form.

Arad cracked his neck, walking toward Vlad.

Vlad stared at his hands, “Where is the blood?”

“I ate them all,” Arad replied, “Your vampires, minions, slaves, and the souls you kept inside your coffins to feed off. Did you really think I wouldn’t smell them the first time you unlocked your coffins?”

“You did what?” Vlad gasped.

“Eris is already praying the sacrificed souls into the heavens and freeing them. I kept the vampires and sent the core of your blood magic to your daughter Scarlett, we call her Ginger,” Arad cracked his knuckles, “I was incompatible with that power. Otherwise, I would’ve kept and used it to kill you,”

Vlad grunted, conjuring a spear of blood, “Do you understand how long it took me to build this kingdom?” 𝘦.𝘤𝘰𝑚

“I don’t care,” Arad replied, “You mess with a dragon, and they burn your kingdom down. It doesn’t matter if you’re a human, an elf, a devil, or a vampire,”

“SHUT UP!” Vlad threw the spear at Arad, piercing his shoulder.

Arad stood still, unfazed. With one hand, he pulled the spear and threw it to Vlad. “Try again,”

CLANG! CLANG! The blood spear rolled to Vlad’s feet, and he looked at it.

“You bastard!” He lifted the spear and rushed toward Arad, stabbing him in the throat. “Die!” He twisted the spear, ripping Arad’s neck apart and leaving his head dangling with his spine.

“See! You die like all of them,” Vlad laughed.

Arad’s eyes opened up and he grabbed his head with one hand, returning it to place. The flesh around his neck healed as he looked at Vlad with glowing purple eyes.

“Your regeneration was stronger than mine,” Arad said, “Because it relied on countless people trapped within your blood that you fed upon.”

Vlad took a step back.

“But, even though my regeneration is weaker than what you had. It’s based on my bones fueling me with blood, it’s my own power. I’m not reliant on something that can be robbed,” ZON! Arad teleported behind Vlad and grabbed him by the balls.

“Who’s the wife you were going after?” He growled, pulling them off with one move.

As Vlad screamed his lungs off, Arad grabbed him by the neck, forcing his jaw open by breaking the bone that connects the mandibles to the temporal bone.

Vlad tried to regenerate but he had no blood, Arad had eaten everything and left him dry.

“Those are yours,” Arad pushed Vlad’s jewels into Vlad’s mouth, forcing him to swallow them. Arad then grabbed Vlad by the skull and started squeezing, “Eat yourself and scram from this world. Vampire, I don’t want you sniffing in the same plane of existence as my wives ever again,”

CRACK! Arad shattered Vlad’s skull and the body dropped down, twitching.

“How scary,” Kinryuu giggled in the back, “You’re growing into a scary dragon, kid. Reminds me of Alcott’s young days, he was just as savage.”

“It had to be done,” Arad lifted his hand and Vlad’s corpse started floating.

[Gravity Magic]

Using gravity magic he crushed Vlad’s corpse into a ball of flesh then burned it with a fire breath until it became nothing but a ball of ash.

Kinryuu pulled out some clothes and a long golden chain. “Come here,” He approached Arad and started wrapping the ball of ash.

“How powerful is that seal?” Arad asked.

“Not much how is it now,” Kinryuu replied, “But it’ll almost unbreakable when we throw it down the star mountain. The chromatic has agreed to take care of it,”

“Didn’t you say to my clone they are salty about losing a skirmish?” Arad asked.

“They are, but you’re a neutral party, we can work with you.” Kinryuu smiled, “Don’t tell anyone this, but apparently, our queen Mary and the chromatic queen Lola have both agreed that dragons should help you whenever possible,”

“Really? I should probably pay them a visit,” Arad watched as Kinryuu wrapped the ash and then chained the ball.

“How come the chromatic have a seal you metallic don’t?” Arad asked.

“The chromatic live in the star mountain, it’s an ancient place dripping with power. We metallic on the other hand are nomads. Our capitals change location all the time,” Kinryuu replied.

“You could’ve settled down, won’t you?” Arad sighed.

“We would take land from the humanoids. Since we dragon can live without land, we shouldn’t be taking that right from other people.” Kinryuu smiled, “And I bet our capital is better than the chromatic dragons,”

“What is it?”

“A massive flying kingdom that’s five thousand kilometers in diameter made of fortified steel,” He giggled, “An armed flying fortress bigger than most kingdoms.”

“That’s a flying continent,” Arad gasped, “How is it flying?”

“Our queen is a steel drakaina and is the one who made it. She’s also the one keeping it afloat with Gravity magic,” Kinryuu smiled, “You should probably have her mentor you about Gravity magic, you won’t someone as knowledgeable in that magic as her,”

“I would definitely visit one day,” Arad smiled, handing the ball of ash to Kinryuu after he inspected it, “He’s dead.”

“I’ll take care of the rest,” Kinryuu was about to fly away but he stopped, “By the way, we have cannons, guns, and muskets, we’re constantly inventing in them so you can consider us a weapon manufacturer.”

“Do you make swords?”

“We do,” Kinryuu replied.

“And you call for peace?”

“Peace requires weapons. We want it to be the land of freedom after all,” Kinryuu laughed, “We can protect the humans by selling them weapons to protect themselves, and make a profit for our hoards,”

“Dragons are dragons after all,” Arad sighed, “Send me a notice when he’s sealed,”

“I’ll do,” Kinryuu flew away.

Arad looked at the night sky, “Now, the legacy of the vampire kind has ended,” He smiled, “Wait, Ginger is the new vampire queen,” He looked back.

The power of the vampire king is hereditary like the crown in a human kingdom. Vlad’s only daughter is the only one who can inherit the throne. ^Wait, won’t that make Alcott the vampire king?^

Arad extended his wings and flew to the island’s beach, landing beside Nina who sat there waiting for him. “You done?” She asked.

“Yeah,” Arad waved his hand, letting Eris out of his stomach. “How did it go?”

“I purified some of the souls,” She replied, “I’ll work on the rest later. He seems to have over a million souls that he bleeds.”

Arad scratched his head, “We’ll, I’ll keep them safe so work at your own pace. We can have Lydia and the church in Alina help as well,” Arad shifted into his draconic form, ready to fly them back to the capital.

“Hm?” He gasped, looking around with a worried face.

“What is it?” Eris stared at him.

“Don’t tell me he’s coming back!” Nina growled, her skin turning red.

“No, it isn’t Vlad,” Arad replied, his head jolting to the side as he stared at the sea, “OH no, we might have messed up,” He jumped in the water and dove down.

“Arad!” Eris shouted, but he had already gone far too deep to hear her.

“What’s gotten into him?” Nina looked at her.

“I don’t know,” Eris looked at the water, “But he’s a dragon with senses stronger than us. He might’ve detected something,” Eris closed her eyes and tried to listen but heard nothing, she sniffed the air but didn’t get anything.

“I can’t see anything,” Nina looked at the water.

“See? Arad’s eyes can see magic, he probably saw something in the air,” She looked around and it quickly dawned on her, “Wait, where is she?” Eris gasped.

“Who’s she?”

“Aella would kill us,” Eris cried.

****

Arad swam through the water, even the largest of predators of the sea swam away upon seeing him. As a void dragon, Arad doesn’t have gills to breathe underwater, but he could stone air in his stomach to dive for a long time. As several scholars noted, dragons are the most terrifying, all-terrain assault monsters, it doesn’t matter where you hide, they’ll chase you down.

Arad sawm into a massive crack that he found underwater, following the faint tracks of magic he sensed. Several minutes later, he reached the bottom of the crack several thousand meters beneath the surface. He looked there and saw a tiny cube drawing in the sand of the sea bed.

With his jaw, Arad swelled the cube and saw back up.
