The dragon's harem

Chapter 296 Freeing The Hostages

”Heh?” The elf woman gasped, seeing Arad crush the chains in his palm, ”Stand up. what are you waiting for?” Arad glared at her, smiling, his eyes flashing red.

”Stop looking at me,” She growled, covering herself with her arms.

”Itʼs not like you can choose, can you?” Arad smiled, pulling a rug from his stomach and throwing it at her with a dagger.

The elf looked at the rug in her hands, confused.

”Youʼre smelling quite delicious now. If you want me to stop treating you like food, you better stop laying down like one.” He turned toward the door.

The elf woman threw the rug over her body and lifted the dagger, staring at Aradʼs back. ”They are coming,” Arad smiled as the door opened.

”GOWA! GOWA!” Goblins growled. They heard him shatter the chains and rushed out.

”Goblins!” The woman gasped, pointing her dagger at them. ”I now have a weapon, you little bastards! I will skin you alive,”

”Hehehe,” Arad giggled, ”Elf, thatʼs gross,” He slowly lifted his hands, ”What will you do with all the wart-filled skin? The green color isnʼt even beautiful.”

The elf woman stared at Arad, confused. She didnʼt know what he was talking about it. Does he need to find sense in an angry grunt?

”Be flattened like the grass you share a color with,” Arad smiled, a purple aura burning around his palms.

[Gravity Magic]

CRACK! The goblins flattened on the ground, oozing with blood as the elf woman gasped. ”Magic? You arenʼt a strength-based one?”

Arad looked back at her, ”Follow me. Weʼre going to meet with the others.” He walked forward, stomping the corpses on his way and sucking them into his stomach.

The elvish woman rushed after him as they hurled toward the prison cell. She stared at his back, ^With such muscles and raw power. Yet he can use magic refined enough to flatten goblins with ease. That was gravity magic. Wasnʼt it?^

She looked around, seeing the goblin dying left and right the moment they got close to Arad. ^How many mages have mastered gravity magic enough to use it without an arcane focus? Is he the archmage of some human city? What brought such a person here? We were at war with them, right?^

After a second, they could see the goblins gathered around the cell door, kicking and trying to get it open. ”Get out of my way,” Arad swung his palm to the site, throwing them at the wall.

”Jack, itʼs me!” Arad shouted, and the door opened. He jumped inside with the elf woman after him, panting from exhaustion.

”Arad! You alerted them! I heard that chair shatter from here!” Jack growled.

”Come on. Iʼm not like you. I canʼt pick locks.” Arad looked back, and the cell was still closed. ”You didnʼt open it?”

”I didnʼt have enough time thanks to you! That lock is rusted as hell,” Jack growled, rushing to close the door. ”What do we do now?”

Arad approached the cage and looked at the lock. It was indeed rusty. ”We canʼt pick it open?”

”We need to find the key,” Jack grunted as the goblins started kicking the door again. ”The key should be outside somewhere. One of the goblins might be carrying it.”

Arad nodded, and touched the cage bars, ”Let me try something,” He grabbed two bars in his hands and took a deep breath.

The elf women started sweating. She could guess what he was about to do.

The veins on Aradʼs arms and chest bulged as he clenched his fists, spreading his arms apart.

”ORA!”

CRACK! The bares twisted like dough, making the elves inside jump back in fear. The man in front of them had enough power to bend steel like it was nothing.

Even as strange as it looked, those cages are designed to house slaves and not a whole dragon.

Arad smiled, staring at the elves, ”Line up. Can you run?” He looked at them and quickly noticed they canʼt even stand on their own.

”Look,” One of the elvish women showed her ankle to Arad. Her Achilles tendon had been severed. ”The goblinʼs shaman heal us before taking us to be prepared to be fed to the dragon. Most of the time, weʼre left like this, so we canʼt run.”

Arad looked to the side, seeing one of the men barely stand, ”He can stand,”

”But this is the best I can do,” The man growled, falling on his face. ”Itʼs impossible to stand like this.” As an elf, he managed to balance himself for a second, but walking would be impossible.

”Fine,” Arad approached the elves, carrying them one after the other.

After just a second, Arad carried two women under his left arm, and the two men under his right arm. One woman on each shoulder, and lastly the dragon food woman hung on his neck.

”Are you sure? I can walk.” she gasped. And the elves tried to hide their shocked faces. Itʼs stupid to call this out after he twisted steel bars like nothing.

”But the hole is small. You wonʼt fit standing, let alone with all of those hanging from your neck.” Jack looked at Arad with a smile.

”I told you I would blast the hole open,” Arad smiled, kicking the cell door open, tearing it from the hinges, and killing the goblins behind it.

Thud! Arad walked into the hallway with a smile, looking toward the back hole. ”Letʼs open it up,” CLANG! He kicked the door toward the hole with a grin.

Aradʼs eyes flashed purple [Gravity Magic: Reverse Gravity]. The door flew upward, hitting the hole.

”Again and Again! With more power!” Arad shouted, bouncing the door up and down at the hole till he dug it out.

BAM! From the outside, Aella saw the door fly toward the sky. ”They go caught!” she shouted, pulling three arrows and getting ready for a fight.

Thud! Arad jumped out of the hole, carrying all the elves, ”Hold tight,” BAM! He landed on the ground and started running away, ”I leave the rest to you, kill everything!” He shouted.

GAWA! A goblin jumped from the bushes, swinging a dagger at Aradʼs back.

DING! The biwa sound boomed across the forest, and the goblinʼs ears burst. ”Iʼm here, green paste!” Isdis smiled, lifting her sword and pointing the blade toward the biwa. DING! DING! [Taunt Tune] She started playing, and all the goblins stared at her, growling.
