The dragon's harem

Arad’s body started dripping with blood like it’s a coat over his shoulders, he glared at Kayden with glowing red eyes, a smile crossing his face. “So, this is your true form? It’s even uglier than mine. I guess we’re both monsters unfit for this world.”

Kayden shifted back into his humanoid form, “That’s why we’re here fighting. This fight would’ve already ended if one of us wasn’t a monster.” His sword disappeared, if Arad is

unarmed, he’ll fight him unarmed.

The fight immediately resumed as Arad used [Void Step] To teleport straight to Kayden’s face and swung his fist down.

Swung his fist to counterattack and immediately teleported behind Arad, dodging he attack and bracing to counter in a single move.

Kayden’s fist hit the empty air as Arad teleported again, and just like Kayden, he was aiming at the back with a punch of his own. Kayden turned around and blocked Arad’s fist with his palm, “I see, you’re starting to master it. Keep going, don’t stop, teleport, and accelerate at the same time, blend your offense and defense.”

One swing after another, the two exchanged fists as they teleported everywhere. Now, they weren’t flying to each other at high speed like they did before. They teleported to attack and only accelerated their attacks, resulting in a far more efficient fighting style that’s several times more unpredictable.

At one point, Kayden managed to slip behind Arad and swung a fist as he did before, waiting for Arad to either turn around and block, or teleport away to counterattack. But Arad’s draconic brain wasn’t thinking anywhere near what a human or a demon would.

Arad accelerated backward toward Kayden’s fist, smacking him with his fist. For a fraction of a second, Kayden seemed confused and that was enough for Arad.

Arad’s arms twisted backward at a painful angle that they shouldn’t be able to, his shoulders cracked loudly as he hugged Kayden to his back. “HAAAAAAAA!” Arad gasped as his head turned back 180 degrees, glaring straight at Kayden, “Caught you!”

Kayden teleported away, but Arad teleported with him, not allowing him to get out of his hug. As the two-phased through space and teleported everywhere, Arad’s chest turned red with blood, ten vampire spawns crawled from there, lifting their fists up as all of them glared at Kayden.

All the vampires threw their fists down, showing Kayden with punches, putting all of their might in it, trying to kill him.

“You fight like Vlad…did he have an influence on you?” Kayden growled, and Arad’s body suddenly split in half across the torso.

Arad’s body fell toward the ground, ^I see… stabbed my torso with his open palm and ripped me in half. What stupid strength.^ When Arad’s body hit the ground, he exploded into a pile of blood, and quickly disappeared into the dirt without a trace as if he evaporated.

Kayden landed on his feet and looked around, finding himself surrounded by an army of vampire spawns, all armored but none of them carrying a weapon. It didn’t take him a second to smile, Arad had learned how to teleport mid-acceleration and is now evolving it with his abilities.

The vampires charged at Kayden and he started smacking them around, as strong as they were, they were nothing close to Arad himself. It was as clear as the day that Arad was using them as a distraction, the only way he could get past Kayden’s teleportation was a sneak attack, and those spawns were covering up for him.

CRACK! A woman wearing black plate armor stepped forth, lifting a black flag with a purple dragon drawn on it. She growled, “Blood for the blood Lord!” With her roar, all the vampire spawns seemed to get stronger and faster, the army charges at the command of the flag bearer.

Kayden zapped across the vampires and rushed toward her with a clenched fist. It was wide to kill who was buffing the army first, and Kayden didn’t waste a second, swinging a fist at her.

The woman didn’t move an inch as Kayden’s rumbling fist approached her, to the last second, she kept the flag raised before her chest, standing tall. Kayden’s moves seemed to be too fast for any of the spawns to respond to him.

The moment when Kayden’s fist was about to smack into the flag’s pole, the woman’s arms turned around, pinning the fist with the flag as she swung a punch at Kayden’s face, stopping him in his tracks.

Kayden was surprised at how fast she moved, no, that wasn’t just speed, she accelerated as well as Arad did. ^Did he teach her at night? So he had some of his spawns trained, how many layers is he hiding?^ Kayden took the woman’s punch and swung back at her, hitting her in the chest.

She didn’t even budge and grabbed his wrist, she threw the flag into the sky and started swinging at Kayden’s face, smacking him with several punches at once.

Kayden tried to teleport away, but she kept chasing him, putting even more pressure. Finally, Kayden got a solid punch in her face, and her helmet flew into the air, spinning like a top. Her body flew back, but she landed on her feet, looking forth as she spat the blood out of her mouth. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

When Kayden looked at her, he saw the face of a young woman with fair skin, long black hair with strands of purple, glowing amethyst eyes, and a giant smile over her pink lips. He lifted an eyebrow, confused.

The woman caught the flag as it fell back to her hand, the ground beneath her feet shattered as she accelerated forward.

“Arad?” Kayden gasped as the woman smacked him with her arm to the neck, sending him flying back. It was already too late, with Kayden topping his strength and speed to match Arad, he now couldn’t get a step ahead.

Even Kayden the god slayer couldn’t see past [Virgo] shapeshift. Thanks to that Arad managed to take back the lead, throwing Kayden left and right as he is now always one step ahead when it comes to teleportation.

Kayden flew back in the defensive and Arad flew after him, clenching his fist as he pulled a longsword out of his stomach. He had learned this the hard way, pushed close to death several times by her, the burning strikes of her who faced death head-on and survived.

[Divine Cleaver] {Back in the university, Eris gasped and smacked her head on her desk as she got jolted with a headache, Arad had absorbed quite a bit of holy magic from her in an instant. Mira who was walking around Hati’s house felt a light headache, stinging her for a second by it wasn’t anything worth thinking about, and she forgot about it a second later as she got

called by Merlin.}

Kayden had pulled his sword at the last second and was blocking Arad’s burning divine smite, his feet digging into the stone ground like it was made of chalk.

^I should’ve expected it, two of your wives are demi-goddesses, you can worship them for free holy magic. ^ Kayden’s skin burned as the divine magic started reaching him. “You’re a demon, right? Holy magic should still hurt you.” Arad growled; a smile crossed his face as his long hair sparked with holy magic, he had never used a divine cleaver before, but seeing Lydia use it many times had given him enough experience to at least make it work. Black flame engulfed Kayden’s sword and rushed up to push on Arad’s divine cleaver, the demonic and holy magic spiraled into the sky like snakes and exploded in a massive burst of fire, ripping the ground apart like a massive pillar of inferno.

Arad landed back, his body smoking from the fire and Kayden landed on the opposite side of the fire pillar. “A normal demon would’ve died.” Kayden smiled, “I’m impressed at how fast

you learn.”

“Let’s keep going.” Arad stepped forward, “I want to throw another smite.”

Hati was sitting far away watching them, she sighed while scratching her head with one of her tails. “Using [Virgo] to confuse Kayden wasn’t a plan anyone had ever thought about. That constellation indeed can’t be detected, Cain is the one who made it like that. Arad isn’t just fighting with raw power, but he’s using his head as best as he can. At this rate, he’ll make it in a week.” She smiled, clapping with her feet once as she jumped, landing on her nine tails, sitting with her legs crossed.

“We’ll need a massive feast for him tonight. Hunt him a Tall Neck, you’ll find one in the southern part of the jungle.” She said and two of her daughters emerged from a door behind

her.

“The Tall Neck that been burning the emerald mountain?” One of the daughters asked. “Yeah, the trouble makers die first. And don’t forget to get some deer and elks for the other guests.” Hati looked at them with a grin, “Arad is growing faster than I expected.” The two daughters looked down, and then back at their mother, “Arad? Where is he? No,

who’s that woman brawling with Kayden.”

“She’s Arad.” Hati replied, and they froze in place.
