The dragon's harem

Chapter 817 Obelisk’s Feed

“Damn it! What was that dragon? Such an eldritch power, my magic all but crumbled without offering any resistance.” Boronos growled, smacking his bony fist on the ground right after his body reformed around his phylactery. freeweɓnovel.cm

“I’ll need to prepare a large army of powerful undead, high death knights, no, death paladins. I need to find victims to corrupt.” He walked across the hallways of his dark layer, mumbling and growling as his bones rattled. Upon reaching his alter, he lifted his hands, “Let’s get to work immediately!” A lich and a death knight appeared before him. “Start preparing corpses immediately.”

ZON!

“Get some from the slaves below. I need their souls to turn dark before death…give them a fake escape route and kill them right as their hope reaches its peak.” He waved his arm.

“My slaves, did you happen to mean the people in the cells below?” A voice came from behind him.

“Of course, what else would I mean? Did your rotten body already…” Boronos paused…all the undead he created are already programmed with all the knowledge they need. They aren’t intelligent and won’t be asking questions. So what is this, who is it who asked him a question?

He wanted to turn back and look but all of his bones rattled, he already knew that whoever could make it into his layer like this. He didn’t even notice. That must be someone he should not face at such a close range.

“I’m not going to kill you. I would’ve already done that if I wanted.” The voice confirmed and Boronos slowly turned back, spotting a pair of blue eyes glittering in the darkness. Gojo slowly walked into the light and Boronos almost started sweating even though he’s an elder lich.

^I thought… that thing was a monster…^ Boronos thought, staring upon Gojo’s face. ^This one is just…a joke…isn’t it…^

The death knight and lich that Boronos had just summoned lunged at Gojo. The death knight swung his sword and the lich flung a massive lightning bolt. When both reached Gojo they disintegrated into ash, the death knight lost his sword and started crumbling and the lich’s powerful spell was no more.

“Common necromancy and lightning magic but at a much higher level than what most people could use, it’s amazing, but nothing special.” Gojo waved his hand, fanning the dust away from his face. “You’ll never hit me with a spell that isn’t your original magic.”

“What are you?” Boronos growled.

“Me? You’ve gone to meet my younger brother, he asked me to get rid of you.” Gojo smiled, waving a finger in the air. “But… you seem to be of use to me…or at least to someone I know.”

“Do you need my power for something? I’ll aid you however I can.” Boronos replied. He could tell at a glance that he couldn’t win, no matter what; he wasn’t a match for this monster. He had thought that Arad was a monster, but now that he had seen Gojo, he was certain. ^I was na?ve, this world still has too much that I don’t know. Even being an elder lich, I’m still nowhere strong enough to fight against those creatures.^

“Is that so!” Gojo smiled, “I was thinking of what to do if you refused. But you’ll be a real help, I can’t imagine what I would’ve done otherwise.”

“I’m glad to help, what is it that I can do for you?” Boronos smiled. ^Good, luck is with me this day.^

“You’ve told my little brother that you have some cursed metal, is that right?”

“Yeah, there is a large deposit beneath this layer. I’ve sealed it out with magic so it won’t expose my location. I’ll undo the seal for you.” Boronos replied immediately.

“So it’s there, but I was just asking about it. No need to undo the seal. There is someone I want you to feed.” Gojo waved his hands with a gentle smile.

“You can have the cursed metal anytime. I’ll also feed this person, what does he eat? I can get you pretty much anything no matter how rare is it.” Boronos started to feel at ease, now it’s only a negotiation. If he could offer a good service, he might end up getting an ally even stronger than Arad.

Gojo lifted his hand. “She’s a lovely little girl called Obelisk. A bit of a glutton, but I’m certain you can manage.” From beneath Gojo’s palm, a little girl with blond hair and black eyes glowing with magic appeared wearing a black dress. She stared at Boronos with an emotionless, passive face.

“What does she eat?”

“She’s on a bit of a diet, so elder lichs I guess.” Gojo said with a smile and Boronos paused.

“What did you say?”

“I said she eats elder lichs…” Gojo patted Obelisk’s head… “You can eat him.” He giggled.

“Yes.” Obelisk uttered a single word, leaving the stunned Boronos out of words.

“Come on, you’ve asked the undead to give the slaves below hope before killing them…don’t go falling for your own schemes…” Gojo stared at him with an evil grin, “Don’t look like that, even I’m starting to feel bad for you.”

“YOU FUCKER!” Boronos shouted at the top of his lungs in rage, and Obelisk lunged at him, grabbing him by the face.

Boronos immediately protected the phylactery that was in his chest, a small red gem. It was there only because he had just fully reconstructed his body, but it had become a weakness now that it was exposed.

Obelisk swung her tiny palm at his chest, denting his ribs with a barrage of powerful taps as she dangled from his skull. The barrier he formed around his phylactery cracked after just a few hits, showing him that this little girl wasn’t something he could underestimate.

[Death touch] Boronos cast an instant death spell that worked on touch and since Obelisk was touching his skull, this should’ve been her end. But she didn’t even flinch.

Obelisk swung a kick at Boronos’s guts, but since he had none, her foot hit his spine and sent him flying with a shockwave, smacking into the way so hard he left a dent in his shape.

“I’ve been pampering her a lot. She only eats top-rated food, like monsters, and dragons, and I even fed her two special dishes that no one could ever hope to taste.” Gojo said as he stood in the back with a smile. “Death touch is the spell of someone right? He lives in the abyss and uses it with his tail…” He giggled, “Demogorgan, the demon lord. I seem to have forgotten to tell you, but I fed him to her. Alongside an abomination that I happened to face in the past days, your magic isn’t going to harm her.”

Obelisk opened her mouth and a ball of red magic started forming between her teeth.

A large scorpion-like tail emerged from Obelisk’s lower back and she used it as a leg to stand on as her arms turned into tentacles and grabbed into the edge of the hole she made when blasting Boronos out. Those are Demogorgan’s limbs.

She used the tentacles to fling herself out and chased Boronos. In the meantime, Gojo looked around and started thinking, “What should I do now?”

“So, I was thinking what if I let her feed on my flesh? The result was that she could use me as a reservoir of mana.” Gojo giggled with a shy face, and Obelisk blasted Boronos away with an energy breath straight from Gojo in the same way Arad’s vampire can use his energy. But in her case, the magic has taken a shade of red due to her nature.

The layer exploded, and Boronos’s burning body flew in the air as he screamed. “GRWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” Even if he was undead, mana and energy still made him feel pain.

“Can I chase him?” Obelisk asked.

“I’m protecting everyone, go all out.” Gojo replied with a smile.

A large scorpion-like tail emerged from Obelisk’s lower back and she used it as a leg to stand on as her arms turned into tentacles and grabbed into the edge of the hole she made when blasting Boronos out. Those are Demogorgan’s limbs.

She used the tentacles to fling herself out and chased Boronos. In the meantime, Gojo looked around and started thinking, “What should I do now?”

His body fell in the forest below and shattered several trees before stopping. He immediately stood back and opened his palm, charging a spell called [Death Wave] He wanted to use it to kill all the trees around and turn them into undead treants. But his plan was thrown off as the first thing he saw was Obelisk’s foot smacking into his face, and she sent him flying through the forest again.

“GAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” Boronos cried, her attacks were abnormally painful as if they were digging at his own soul. He grabbed a branch and reoriented himself. “You little!” But like always, she was still a step ahead of him and grabbed him by the face and dragged him onto the forest floor, grinding his skull into dust.

Boronos growled and smacked his fist into the dirt, exploding the ground in a burst of sharp bones to fend Obelisk away, and she did let go of his face. He quickly waved his palm and pulled a staff, blasting her with a beam of necrotic magic. “DIE!” He screamed his soul away, putting his all into that attack.

ZON! Obelisk appeared behind him with glowing eyes and an evil grin and she kicked him in the chest, sending him flying across the forest.

Boronos fell in a large open field, barely managing to stand. The necrotic magic seeping from his body started withering the grass around him; it was a signal that his phylactery was damaged.

Obelisk walked out of the forest, staring at him with a passive face.

TAP! Gojo landed beside her, another little girl screaming in panic as he grabbed her from the back, she was wearing a large fur coat, not the type of clothes people wear around here. “Gojo! Let me down!” Lucy, Isdis’s little sister cried.

“I brought her to observe, I hope you don’t mind. Obelisk’s feed.” Gojo said with a smile.

“I was in the Arctic a second ago! Where are we?” Lucy looked around, almost panicking.
