The dragon's harem

^She’s getting stronger, and rapidly…^ Jordan jumped from left to right and blasted Merida’s demons with a massive divine smite round kick before lunging at her. He kept eyes on Eris all the time, he couldn’t underestimate another demi-god.

Aella fired a blindingly fast arrow at him, but he caught it and threw it back at Meryem, all while tanking several hits from Betty. They all knew that great magic wouldn’t work on him, they needed Eris to deliver the finishing blow.

As Eris’s divine power kept rising, she and Jordan quickly outscaled everyone else, even Merida started finding it hard to keep up with them.

“Merlin! Can’t you teleport him around?” Merida yelled as she barely dodged a divine blast from a swing from Jordan.

“I can’t do that, he’s a divine being. He’s nearly impossible to teleport against his will.” Merlin replied, “That’s also because I don’t understand how divine magic works, I’m neither a god nor an angel.”

“If we can’t teleport then we should be able to trap him.” Mira said as she looked around, “Give me some wood.” She pulled a saw, her hammer, and a bunch of nails.

“What are you trying to do?” Merlin stared at her.

“You managed to make this labyrinth and pull him inside, we can’t forcibly change his location, but we can trap him. Using that same logic, I want to create a box with a barrier for you to coat the inside and fill it with a layer of this labyrinth. We can trap him inside to buy some time.” Mira smiled.

“Time for what?” Merlin waved her hand and pulled some wood from her magic pocket.

“Time for me to create a forge. Using the compressed stone, cursed metal, Tempo fire, Eris’s plasma, Lydia’s curse, Betty’s powerful light, and Aella’s air. She smiled, I’m confident we can cook a god.”

“So…” Abel giggled, “Trap him in a box to buy time, then mage a powerful force and throw him inside to burn.”

“If she can make it.” Jack shook his head, “Is it that easy to make such a thing?”

“It’s not. I doubt it’ll be stable; a few minutes is probably all we’ll get. Making the artifact isn’t the hard part, making it last is. Buy me a minute.” She smiled.

“Eris! Hold on for a minute!” Merlin sent a message and Eris shouted back. “You bet!” Her divine magic had started stagnating at 24658DP but it’s slowly increasing, but that was enough to hold back against Jordan who doesn’t have a fighting oriented.

Mira lifted her hammer and swung it down at a nail on the wood, sparking with magic with each hit. She sat on her desk alone behind everyone else, engrossed in her work, like a god focusing on his creation, her concentration reached its peak as she slowly pieced the box together with Merlin’s magic circles.

Creating the box itself wasn’t that hard, she had created hundreds and thousands of them, and each room she furnished had needed at least one. But engraving the magic circles was the hard part, she had to write it on the wood using a chisel while slowly dripping it in magic water, all above a circle of Merlin’s magic and lastly, integrate a power source in the form of a magic crystal.

In the meantime, the fight had taken a bad turn. Eris’s divine magic had completely stopped increasing, and she could feel what she got from Arad fluctuating. And then out of nowhere, all of it disappeared, leaving back at the starting point.

Eris gasped, “What did happen?!” She cried as Jordan punched her in the face hard enough that he sent her flying. Meryem and Merida engaged him in a close fight, but he was slowly getting used to them and growing faster and faster. Even Betty’s light fast and powerful attacks seemed to quickly lose all of their power, they were the ones getting tired first.

The main three aspects of a god’s power are their immortality, infinite energy, and dominion over mortals. Jordan is a demi-god, a near-immortal being with seemingly bottomless mana, but he lacks the ability to dominate mortals, as he isn’t a true god yet.

“Everyone!” Merlin shouted as she sensed a large burst of mana in the desert. “Arad is going berserk! His mana suddenly spiked to dangerous levels and he came all the way here in the blink of an eye! The area outside the labyrinth had been burned to the ground, all life in a hundred-kilometer radios had been erased.” She cried, “He’s facing another being with almost twenty times Jordan’s divine power. I suspect that’s a true god!”

Everyone froze for a second and Eris growled, “That’s why…” Arad doesn’t have the time or luxury to entertain her anymore, he has a bigger fight on his hands.

Jordan took the chance and lunged at Eris with a large smile on his face, “Give me your portfolio!” She swung his fist in her chest, aiming to rip her heart off.

Between then, Mira appeared out of nowhere swinging her massive sledgehammer, she teleported in using Merlin’s dominion over the labyrinth.

Jordan dodged the hit at the last moment and grabbed her by the neck, lifting her up. “What a strange hammer, did you enchant it with something that can harm me?” She lifted his arm and pierced her chest, “No matter how perfect your timing is, you will never touch a god.” Mira smiled as blood gushed from her mouth, “Now…we’re even…you also know how to make holes…” Her face shifted, and that was Abel. As Jordan gasped, Abel immediately wrapped his legs and wings around him, “Got him!” He screamed, burning with curses to prevent Jordan from running away.

The real Mira appeared behind them with the box in her hand and threw it beside them, “Sorry Abel! You said it!” She yelled as the box flashed with light and absorbed them both.

Mira clapped her hands and a massive stone furnace appeared out of nowhere. “I already love this labyrinth.” Merlin allowed Mira to pull this out of her magic pocket at will and teleport them around.

“Eris! I want plasma, a lot of it. Aella, added your air to make it burn hotter; Betty, I want all the light you can dish out, burn him to ash. Amber, you’ve recovered so do your best, the same for you Merlin. Lastly, Lydia hit him with the fattest, meanest, and largest divine attack you’ve got.” Mira clapped her hands and everyone teleported to surround the furnace.

“Cook him alive!” Mira smiled and everyone got to work.

“What about Abel?” Eris growled, “He’ll die!”

“Don’t worry about him.” Merlin shouted as she teleported to them, which was a risky move, if she was harmed, the whole labyrinth would collapse. “Abel is a devil, he can take a beating, get cooked once or twice. He’ll die here and resurrect back in hell.” Devils killed in the mortal world are sent back to the nine hells, where they can fully regain their power and come to the

mortal world again.

Mira threw the box into the furnace and everyone blasted it, she even threw a few bombs in there and the furnace got locked behind a ten-layered barrier.

As the heat rushed out, everyone felt like they were about to burn to ash just from standing nearby. Tempo waved his massive hands above them and created a fire barrier to protect them, “Just keep blasting him. He’ll eventually fail to heal and die. He isn’t a true god, he can’t survive this for long.” He said, breathing flame into the furnace.

After a minute and a half of cooking on high heat, the furnace cracked, it had reached its limit. “It won’t last!” Mira yelled, “Get ready to run away. We don’t know if he’s alive or not.” This was all they had, unlike him, they were mortals who could feel exhaustion.

“I hope he’s dead.” Eris sighed.

“Don’t say that…he’ll…” Jack gasped, feeling the red flag.

As the furnace crumbled down, Jordan flew out with a clenched fist, “This isn’t enough!” He swung at Mira’s face, “You! You’re the bitch behind those bombs and seals, you’re dangerous,

you must die!”

All the girls rushed to protect her, they were all out of mana, and all they could do was stand

in the way.

Jordan’s fist landed with a large boom, flashing with divine magic. “Closer to death I’ve sensed it, the truth of my greed! I’ll steal your everything, wealth, knowledge, life, and magic, fall to my hands, pitiful mortals!”

The girls looked around, confused at what happened, noticing they were engulfed in a large shadow. As Jordan’s divine light faded, the massive black humanoid became apparent. Arad had his wives engulfed in his wings and took the hit to the back.

“Arad? Is that you?” Eris gasped, “You look like a lizard!”

“Doma used my draconic soul to maintain my human form, that’s why I look like this.” He replied with a smile, patting her head. “You can rest now. I’m here, everything is fine.” “Who are…wait, you’re Arad, aren’t you? I’ve heard of you.” Jordan growled, thinking of a way

to run. He had heard that Arad was a problem and wasn’t willing to test him now that he saw

how powerful his wives were.

Arad slowly glared back at him, “Give it back.” He growled with rage.
