The dragon's harem

159 Roar Respond

The incubus started at the crescent moon in the sky, his body burning. “Coming today was a mistake. I should have waited longer.” The flame eating his body faded and his wounds started healing with a sizzle.

FLAP! He flapped his wings, taking to the sky.

CLANG! A small hard object hit his head. He looked down, it’s a crossbow bolt.

The incubus looked in the direction the bolt came from. He saw a half-armored guard aiming a crossbow at him, sweating. “A monster! Shoot!” The guard screamed his lungs out.

CLACK! CLACK! CLACK!

Guards emerged on top of the building, from the corridors and streets. All aimed their crossbows at the incubus, “Don’t let him escape! Fire in the three batches!” One of them shouted.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The guards started shooting. The first team fired while the other two are reloading and so they kept a steady stream.

The bolts are too weak to cut the incubus’s skin, but they are good enough to gouge his eyes in they hit them. He covered his face with one of his wings and ran across the street.

CRACKLE! KA-DON! Arad and Abel reached the incubus. Abel swung his lightning-engulfed sword at the incubus’s neck and Arad threw a kick at the back.

[Blink]

The incubus’s body shifted, disappeared from his position, and appeared one meter forward. The attacks didn’t hit him as he kept running.

The incubus started at the guard who first shot him. He stood in the middle of the street, lifting a small shield with a sword in his hand, ready to fight. He glared at the man.

The soldier’s eyes rolled back as his body went limp. The incubus swings his claw, beheading him in a single swing. The incubus might have seemed weak when fighting Abel and Arad, but those two are monsters on their own. Normal humans won’t stand a chance against such a monster, unless.

CRACK! The steel boot cracked the ground. Her golden glowing eyes glared at the incubus from the side as she swung her longsword. [Holy Smite]

CLAP! The incubus lifted his hands, blocking the strike from Lydia. CLANG BAM! She immediately shifted her weight, stepping behind the incubus. [Holy Smite]

Lydia’s hint threw the incubus off balance, sending him like a ragdoll. She glared at her shaking wrists, “He’s as hard as stones. The sword might break,” She held a steel sword, and it wasn’t going to hold for long hitting the incubus.

The incubus felt the divine magic burning his flesh, slowing his regeneration. “A paladin?” He ground his teeth and then giggled, “But a woman, how unlucky.”

“Kill them!” The incubus growled, glaring at Lydia with his eyes glowing pink.

“No, you won’t!” Abel flashed forward, swinging at the incubus’s eyes, trying to blind him. CRACK! BAM! Lydia blocked Abel with her sword, [Holy Smite]

She sent him rolling back.

“Abel!” Arad called Abel. Lydia’s hit wasn’t strong enough to knock him out. But able couldn’t move well, “Are you okay?”

It was then that Arad noticed that the white of Abel’s left eye turned back, and the pupil glowed red. A small horn was peeking from his head as the holy magic burned his skin.

[Arad! Focus on the incubus.]

Arad shifted his attention toward the incubus. That monster already controlled Lydia. Having women fight him is a bad thing, he can control them. For men, he seems to be only able to knock them out.

Lydia pointed her sword at Arad and took a stance as the incubus ran away. [Holy Smite]

BAM! Lydia rushed forward, swinging her sword at Arad and he dodged. ^Damn! Should I teleport, should I know her out with gravity?^ It took Arad a second to figure out how to deal with her.

The incubus ran as fast as he could, it was time for him to get away. He expanded his wings and took to the sky.

PEW! An arrow pierced his left wing, pinning it to the right one. “What?” He gasped, glaring at the distance and seeing a figure standing at the city wall with a bow.

Aella stood at the city wall, aiming her bow with Mc panting at the wall. He carried her all the way here as fast as he could.

The incubus fell on his face and stood immediately. “I need to hide!” He ran between the building and to the other large street.

Thud! As the incubus was about to keep running, he heard a heavy step in front of him. His face turned pale.

Alcott stood there in his casual clothes, his blade tied to his waist. He took a stance, grabbing the sword hilt.

^He’s going to behead me!^ The incubus saw his life flashing, but Alcott stopped. His face turned pale.

The incubus got confused, “What’s with him? Doesn’t matter,” He turned around to run, only to see a woman standing ten meters behind him.

The woman was tall, with two long braids and yellow eyes. Alcott’s face didn’t turn pale because he was sick or because of the incubus. He saw Nina, standing with an angry smile.𝒃𝒆𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎

“Good! Stop him!” The incubus growled, sending his mind control at Nina. CRACK! At that moment, he felt a fist hit his lower jaw. An uppercut.

BAM! Nina punched the incubus into the sky. ^I need to get him out of the city to avoid collateral damage.^ As a barbarian, she always caused mayhem when fighting.

Nina looked up, getting ready to jump and kick the incubus to the city skirts, hoping he survive the kick. KA-DON! In a red flash, Arad flew with flame gushing from his feet, reaching the incubus.

“GAH!” The incubus growled. “Insistent bastard!” He glared at Arad, trying to knock him off. Sara wasn’t on his back.

BA-BAM! For a moment, the incubus found himself glaring at a titanic, night-sky-like dragon. It was all in his mind, but he knew it, rejection. It usually happens when someone tries mind-controlling a stronger monster. The being consciousness rejects them. What he saw was Arad’s true form.

“Wait! You’re a…” The incubus growled as Arad swing his fist, veins popping on his forearm.

[Dominious Alph] The incubus extended his arm. A spell he kept as a trump card.

CRACKLE! CLAP! A flash of lightning flew from the ground, slicing the incubus’s arm. Arad saw him, with two horns, red eyes, blond hair, and a long tail and bat-like wings. It was Abel. “Finish him,”

[Firefist] Arad charged as much power as he could, swinging at the incubus. KA-DON!

The moment Arad’s fist connected with the incubus, it exploded in a massive ball of flames. Crimson light fell on the city as the incubus’s blood splattered.

BAM! Arad landed beside Nina, smoking. The incubus’s body got torn to pieces. If Arad used such power inside the brothel, he would have killed everyone.

“You’re quite strong. More than I expected.” Nina smiled. “You killed him in one hit,”

Arad only then noticed her, “Nina, what are you?..AW! AW!” She grabbed him by the ear, “Look around at what you have done.”

Arad looked, blood and guts were everywhere, from rooftops to the streets, “Who’s going to clean this? I heard the ground shattered earlier, was that you taking flight with flames? You better not have burned or cracked the street.”

“Nina, can you let him go?” Alcott approached them.

“We’re in the city. Fighting like that can get people hurt and damage property. He needs to learn how to hold back.”

“I’m paying for the repairs, let him go,” Abel walked from the shadows.

“Are you sure you want to stay like that?” Nina asked. Looking at his form.

“I will be able to change soon,” He replied, and Nina let Arad go.
