The dragon's harem

The fight didn’t last much longer than that after Tyal transformed. It didn’t matter how much Gale had enchanted himself. He was simply far smaller than Tyal’s beast form and too weak to oppose her domination over the wind. He still tried to fight back, but his tempest was quickly swallowed whole and destroyed in the violent tornadoes emerging from Tyal’s typhoon.

The spectators had to take shelter beneath the secondary magic barrier of the arena to hide from both rain and hail. Arad lifted his hand and caught one of the hails, which was at least four meters wide. It was quite horrifying to see one as big as a room in his house.

Thankfully, the hail was mundane and not magical, which made it easier to block with barriers. It won’t even harm Claug if she were to fly through it.

This meant that Tyal was at the level of a great natural disaster and nothing more than that, which was mainly due to her still not being used to it.

What made Arad even more surprised was that he could still see Tyal’s soul flying through the typhoon. This meant that while she had grown massive, she could still be taken down with a single hit by someone who could see and damage souls like him.

It was then that Gale finally fell down. His tempest form dissipated, and he turned back into his Titan form, falling to his knees with a body riddled with wounds.

Tyal also shifted back to her Titan form. Unlike Gale, she didn’t get any new injuries. She was extremely exhausted to the point that she looked a bit thinner, and the bones of her face had become visible.

Zeus jumped into the middle of the arena and landed between the two. “The fight is over! Tyal wins!” He shouted and signaled for the healers to rush in to heal them. The spectators remained silent for a second and then exploded into cheers.

Tyal had proven her strategic skills and connections in the battle against the monster flood and had just shown her personal power in this fight against Gale. No one could argue that she was the best the Storm Titan race could offer besides Zeus and Alice, who didn’t want anything to do with them.

By the time the medics started moving, Arad was already beside Tyal. he touched her shoulder, and the two disappeared.

Arad took Tyal into a private room beside the VIP watching room where Alice was waiting to heal her. But it wasn’t that simple.

When Tyal pulled the full power of her beast form, she drained her body of all of its mana and energy, rendering her starved and dehydrated with severe mana loss and exhaustion to the point that her organs might start shutting down.

There wasn’t much that could be done to heal her normally. She would’ve died if not for Alice being the one about to heal her. While most healers were just clerics and had to rely on the patient’s body having enough nutrients to use the accelerated healing caused by healing spells, Alice could play a few tricks as she was both a wizard and a cleric to the goddess of magic.

Alice at first used a spell called [Blood Shift], which allows two people to exchange a part of their blood. It didn’t work with everyone as some people’s blood isn’t compatible with others, but with ten servants in the room with Alice and Tyal, some were bound to be compatible with Tyal.

Two of the servants were compatible with Tyal, so Alice shifted their blood.

With some nutrients now in her blood, Tyal’s most dire wounds were the first to get healed by Alice to stabilize her. Alice then focused on making sure her digestive system was working properly to start feeding her some watered-down soup.

When Tyal’s situation stabilized, Arad finally felt a bit better and left, letting Alice take care of Tyal while he had more things to focus on. What he had to focus on here in the Storm Titan’s kingdom was that, unceremoniously, he was now their emperor as well, which meant more paperwork for him.

It was quite strange, and one of Tyal’s servants made it clear as she tried to call him. First, she called him Arad, as he had asked them to call him. He wasn’t that fan of being called master or lord. They were more than happy to just use his name before, but now, that servant immediately apologized and corrected herself into calling him “Your Majesty.”

“Just keep calling me Arad.” He walked with her toward the offices where some work already waited for him. It wasn’t anything big, just a declaration that it’ll take Tyal a while to come out and speak to the public since she is still recovering. He had to be the one to make that announcement.

Thankfully, Zeus was there to help him, making sure to give Arad a long lesson on the Storm Titan’s traditions and customs. For example, Arad had no idea that there would be a feast to celebrate the new queen and that it would be hosted in every city of the Storm Titans where food would be distributed freely to all of the Titans.

Thanks to the monster flood, they luckily weren’t short on meat. But still, someone had to deliver it alongside the message that Tyal is now the Eye of the Storm.

Zeus wrote several letters, bundled them into a single cloth bundle, and approached Arad. He then bent down and tied the bundle to Arad’s leg, “Go on! PIGEON DRAGON!” He said with an enthusiastic, excited smile and Arad laughed. “I’d prefer to be a dove.”

Zeus stood, “I can send messengers, but they are all too slow compared to you. And the storm had grown harsher since Tyal messed with it.” He sighed, “I know you don’t want to stay too long here. You’ve more problems to deal with, like the Volcanic kingdom.”

Arad nodded, “I was going to ask to deliver them anyway. As you said, I’m faster.” Arad swallowed the letters into his stomach and looked out the window. “I’ll also pick the meat from the warehouses and deliver it.”

“How long would it take you to go all around the kingdom?” Zeus pointed at the large map. “Couple of hours?”

“Couple of minutes. Don’t you remember how I gathered you and the rest in my kingdom in a few minutes?” Arad disappeared like he was never standing there.
