The dragon's harem

Chapter 692 Nina Vs Arad: Boiling blood.

ZON! Arad teleported forward, landing in front of Ninaʼs face, glaring down at her as his muscles expanded and void crackled out of his back, sending a violent gust of air.

Nina stared at his face with a passive face, the wind gushing out of his massive body flapping her back as if she stood in a tempest.

BA-CRACK! She swung her arm, punching in the guts as he kicked her in the side. Neither of them budged, but their bones shattered from the violent impact. Tanking several punches from each other, Nina came on top, kicking Arad in the guts with enough force to shatter his whole body like an egg.

She stared forward, seeing Aradʼs bits flying several hundred meters back. But she then gasped, seeing his head with spine attacked flying toward her like a snake, crackling with magic.

Nina jumped back, moving away from the charging remains of Arad.

Aradʼs head unleashed several beams of compressed air and water toward her, forcing her to dodge by doing several back flips, the beams barely missing her.

Aradʼs head and spine teleported toward her, and she did another flip, dodging a spine swing.

The upper half left of Aradʼs body regenerated, swinging a punch at Ninaʼs face mid-spin. The hit got in, and Arad used that change to grab her face. His whole Body regenerated and he wrapped his legs around her face, locking her head between his thighs just as she did to him before. And with one violent hip jerk, he smacked her head to the ground, sitting on her face.

Nina swung her leg, kicking him in the face and sending him rolling away from her.

****

”How can he fight like that? Father could fight with severe damage, but even he wasnʼt sane.” Ginger gasped, seeing Aradʼs spine fly toward Nina while still casting spells.

”Itʼs not that he doesnʼt feel pain, he doesnʼt care about it. To a shapeshifter, the body is but a golem controlled by the brain. Pain is the signal the brain gets for damage, nothing more or less.”

”Since Arad knew he could regenerate, pain means nothing to him,” Ginger mumbled, ”But...” She sighed, staring at them with a passive face, ”He couldʼve worn something after getting healed.”

”Yeah...I know that with how fast Nina is, trying to wear something would be a big enough opening to get blasted, and Iʼm sure Nina doesnʼt care at all. But sitting on her face like that...”

****

BAM! As Arad landed on his legs, he pointed his hands toward Nina, sending a barrage of slashes and piercer spells at her.

Nina clenched her fist, those slashes were like blades, and the pierce spells were like spears. Both of them only damage when hit by their front. CLANG! She punched one of the compressed water blades at the side, blasting it into a mist.

And she did the same to another spear of air, and then again and hair, boxing the spells away as Arad faced her, unleashing even more.

****

As the two clashed, Eris flew in from the city, ”Whatʼs going on here?” She looked, seeing Arad and Nina facing each other with Merlin and Ginger watching. She flew to them, ”Did you hear me?”

”We did look at them,” Merlin pointed, ”They arenʼt even serious about the fight yet,”

”Sheʼs right, Arad is still in his humanoid form and Nina didnʼt rage or call her axe,” Ginger sighed, ”Itʼs like they are playing for fun,”

Eris looked at the fight, ”Why is Arad naked?” She asked.

”Nina blasted his body alongside his clothes a moment ago,” Ginger replied.

Merlin looked at Eris with a smug face, ”He just sat on her face naked, are you okay with your husband going around chasing other women?” She giggled, ”Isnʼt that cheating?”

”Speak for yourself,” Eris sat beside them, ”Let him be. Do you think heʼll be doing this if we said we mind?”

”I donʼt live in your house, so I donʼt know.” Merlin stared at her with a smile. ”Itʼs not my job to consult other peopleʼs marriages,”

”Youʼre right,” Eris looked at the fight, seeing Arad blasting spells at Nina and her deflecting them.

****

Some of the spells started hitting Ninaʼs body, cutting her up as she tried to deflect them all. Arad was simply overpowering her by the sheer number of projectiles he could fire.

Nina ducked down, rushing between the slashes and tanking most of them until she reached Arad, swinging a fist at his chest.

He jumped over her fist, and she swung her second arm at him. He grabbed both and dual-kicked her in the chest, ripping her arms off and sending her flying toward the wall. Before she could hit the wall, her arms had already healed back and her skin burned with a red mist as she roared, finally entering her full rage.

Seeing her, Arad smiled, summoning a pair of pants on himself from his stomach. Two massive black wings emerged from his back alongside a long and thick black tail. A whole four, black horns emerged on his head pointing upward as he glared forward.

Black scales covered his forearms, calves, palms, and feet as his nails and toenails turned into long black claws.

BAM! Nina disappeared, sinking into the ground.

Arad stood still, looking at the ground trying to sense where she was. SPLAT! Out of the dirt behind him, she lunged in with a clenched fist. Arad turned his torso, swinging his wing at her. BLOP! But she went back into the ground, the attack was a feint.

SPLAT! SPLAT! Nina kept jumping out of the ground like a fist, swinging at Arad but going back right before he could block her attack. It was clear she was trying to disorient him, and he smiled. She isnʼt that good at hiding her strategies, everything is clear and straightforward.

^If this was a real fight, this is the point where I summon the accursed pillar. I did consume half of it when evolving so itʼs not as strong as it was, but it should still take her down,^ He lifted his hands, ^But Iʼm not trying to kill her. I need her alive, and sheʼs the same.^

He took a deep breath, [Void Expansion: Devouring void]

Aradʼs expansion can extend up to 40 km now, but out of consideration of the capital, and the fact he doesnʼt need such a range for this fight, he limited himself to a 50m radius. His gushing void consumed all air and dirt from the affected area, creating a void.

By that, the air tried to feel the gap, collapse onto the space, and pull Nina with it toward Arad. ”If you wonʼt attack, then Iʼll bring you to me.” He said, his arms open and his voice unheard due to the lack of air.

Nina stared at him as she got pulled in, and she screamed. The air in her lungs burst out of her mouth like a jet, sending her flying back.

Arad gasped, sweating as the air impact blasted him back as well. ^The hell was that? No, itʼs her insane muscles that compress her lungs, of course, she could exert such power,^ He stood, seeing Ninaʼs foot flying toward his face.

CRACK! She kicked him in the nose, sending him rolling again. Before he could regain his balance, she grabbed him by the face and swung him into the air and back to the ground, pushing him harder into the ground. She then looked at his face and screamed, blasting him with another burst of air from her lungs.

From beneath her palm, a beam of pure light gushed out and then blasted her in the face, exploding in a massive rose of flames.

As the flames rose to the sky, Arad flew out of them with a ball of fire after him, growing with a roar.

Thud! He landed on the ground, and Nina rolled after him, charred to a crisp. ”I didnʼt want to do this, but you made me use it,”

When Arad uses his void to crush matter and releases the energy as a beam, that beam has nothing to do with the magic that started it and is just a reaction. That means it can hurt Nina. Flat immunity to magic means nothing when facing it, as he isnʼt bound by it.

SWOSH! Ninaʼs body regenerated in the blink of an eye as she roared, lunging faster than he could see. He lifted his arms to block in a boxerʼs guard, but she punched him in the guts so hard that her arm pierced him.

Arad opened his mouth, blasting her in the face with a powerful beam. The beam of light rushed forward, splitting the capital walls in half and cutting a line in one of the districts.

****

”Heʼs a monster,” Ginger growled, protecting her face from the heat with a shield of blood.

”No! Something is off,” Merlin growled, ”NINA! STOP! CALM DOWN!” She shouted.

”What is it?”

”She filled me in about what happened in her village and I started keeping a tab on her body,” Merlin said, looking at where the charred Nina healed from the beam.

Nina stood still, and blood started gushing out of her body like rivers.

Arad froze in place, ”AH! SHIT! NINA! STOP!” He screamed, ”This fight must stop!”
