The dragon's harem

Chapter 1043: Locked In The Bath II

After taking a shower Arad finally relaxed inside the hot bath, his wives forming a wall around him to keep everyone else away. The wives were well aware that every one of the women here wanted a piece of their husband, even though they could trust that theyʼd never lay a hand on him, those thirsty stares remained a bit annoying.

”Is everyone here?” Lucia looked inside the bath, she had just entered with the others.

”Lucia?!” Arad gasped, ”What are you doing here?” He wasnʼt worried about Lucia herself, his wives knew he turned her into a vampire, what worried him more in that he could sense Matilda, Selina, Anansi, and Zul behind her. Those three were fine, but how did Zul make it here? Her aura looked far more stable than if she was shrunk with size magic.

”Matilda, Selina, Anansi, and Zul are here taking a shower. I just wanted to ask, itʼs okay for her to come in, right?” She looked straight at Arad.

”How did Zul get here?” Arad asked and Aella quickly picked up on what he felt. There was no one using size magic here, even Undine and Salamander were still in their fairy form relaxing inside a wooden basin.

”Through the door?” Lucia walked inside, covering her body with a towel, ”How else could she get in here?”

Sena looked at Arad with a smile, ”Hati told me she has an item that could give Zul a human form for a short time.” She was lying. She is the one who put Zul in a humanoid form. She is Tiamatʼs daughter after all and could call on some of her motherʼs powers.

With a single look at Senaʼs face, Arad could tell that she was lying, but he didnʼt care if what she said was the truth or not, she clearly knew far beyond what anyone else here knew. If Hati managed to somehow let Zul hide inside than the situation outside isnʼt favorable.

”Forget it.” Arad waved his hand, ”Come in and sit, the tub is big enough.”

The hot tub was almost twenty meters wide in each direction and could be expanded further if Hati wanted. For now, Astrid and Frida both could control the whole bath and they were sitting there with everyone.

”By the way.” Eris looked at Lucia, ”I want you to join me and Arad later that night. He got something for you.” She looked at her with a smile and Luciaʼs face burned red, ”Wait, what?”

”Donʼt worry, weʼre also coming.” Zia and Akasha looked at her with a smile. She knew Zia but who was Akasha again? No, she never saw her before.

Since Arad had become a pricolici all of his vampires got a power boost but that was only because he who was their blood lord had gotten stronger. He could further enchant their power by letting them drink his blood.

Merida looked at the ceiling, ”Yeah, now that Eris spoke.” She looked at Lunara, ”Youʼre coming with me as well, you too.” She quickly turned toward Lamy who cried the moment she was addressed. All of this time she was just hiding behind Tina, unable to look at every one.

”Weʼre all demons, I wanted to discuss some things about demonic magic.” Of course, Merida only meant a short discussion, nothing that would take away from her private time with Arad. ”Ahh really?” Kali looked at them with a smile, ”Youʼre not inviting me?”

Lunara and Tina immediately jumped and knelt before her, terrified. A voice boomed inside Meridaʼs head, it was the demonic fungus. You better kneel to her. That six-armed woman is the demon goddess of destruction. She is who the demons pray to, and Iʼve heard that she is quite temperamental.^

Kali giggled, ”You think I canʼt hear you?” She pointed at Merida with one finger and Merida cried, her body flashing with demonic magic. With a faint pulse, a second Merida flew out of her back and rolled in the water. The only difference between the two is one looked far too pale with fully black eyes, yellow pupils, and white hair.

Merida looked at her shaking hands, ”What did you do to me?”

”What? I just separated you and that fungus. Donʼt worry, her power will still reach you.” Kali looked at the fungus, ”From this day your name is Kino, and I herby declare you the demon queen of fungus and rot.”

Kino rushed to kneel before Kali and pushed Meridaʼs head down, ”She is our goddess, at least kneel once...” Kino growled.

Kali looked at them with a smile and then stood, ”Well, you do kneel to me...” She walked toward Arad and knelt to him, ”But, I say that if a woman kneels only to her husband. And in turn, he carries them above his head.”

While everyone looked weirded out seeing her kneeling before Arad, Kino, Lunara, and Lamy were the ones who understood the magnitude of her action. If the demon goddess is kneeling to Arad, then all demons must prostrate themselves to him. He might be thousands of times weaker than her, but her actions now effectively make him their demon god.

”Kali...Kayden will kill me.” Arad sighed.

”He sure will, whenever I told him I wanted to marry you he got angry, saying that heʼll never marry me to someone who canʼt protect me.” She looked at Arad, ”No offense but...”

Arad smiled, ”I know that I canʼt beat you. The moment I saw your true form for the first time in Lamyʼs house I knew that something was off about you...”

A large smile crossed Kaliʼs face, ”What seemed off about me? Get it right and Iʼll do anything you want.”

”I couldnʼt feel any power from you at first, but then I noticed that your demonic magic grew with destruction so I checked how much damage it might be able to achieve and...” Arad looked at her, thought about it for a second, ”Your damage is infinite, isnʼt it?”

Kali giggled, ”Youʼre better than I expected.” She looked at him, ”I waited for you to say that I can deal a lot of damage, but I didnʼt expect you to guess that my damage is infinite. Thatʼs right, I can destroy anything with a single touch if I want. Iʼm the goddess of destruction after all.”

Kali is the goddess of destruction if she was a character in a game she would have infinite damage, kill anyone, and destroy anything with a single hit. She is the descendent of one of the primordial gods who were created by AO to support the worldʼs principles, Asura the destroyer.

The only way to survive in a fight against her is to never get hit and never touch her. With a single touch, she could turn whole worlds into dust and erase gods from existence, shattering their souls into a thousand pieces.

”So, what do you want me to do?” Kali looked at him with a smile.

”Why are we locked here?” Arad asked with a serious face.

”Kali!” Sena glared at her, ”Care to talk for a moment.”

Kali looked at Sena and than back at Arad, ”I never go back on my words.” She smiled, ”Remember that abomination in yellow called Nyar? Heʼs fighting the gods now and weʼre expecting him to send someone to take revenge on you for killing Vorvadoss. Hati gathered everyone here to avoid that.”

Arad sighed, ”Protecting me like Iʼm a kid...”

”Arad...” Kali looked at him with a serious face, ”Because you are still a kid in front of the strongest abomination. The only reason you managed to defeat Vorvadoss is because he was starved and tortured for five thousand years by the overgodʼs seal.”
