The dragon's harem

Chapter 633 Eldritch Monsters

One week in the past...

In a faraway land, a village was being raided by monsters. A man ran away toward the gate, blood gushing out of his severed arm. "Hurry! We'll trap them inside!" A guard standing at the door screamed, waving his hand for the man to run faster. The monster behind him was numerous, and he was the last one.

"Don't close the gate!" The man screamed, looking back to see the tall abominations glaring at him, their eyes glowing with a blue flame. Each one of them was several meters tall, engulfed in thick slime and smoke. They stood like shadows, running after him without their legs moving, a truly horrifying sight.

The man reached the gate, sliding right beneath as it closed. He panted, looking toward the guard, crying with a happy face, "Thank you, you didn't leave me there,"

"Of course, I won't let you," The guard smiled, "Now, let's head to the feeding nest,"

"What?" The man gasped.

The guard's smile grew larger, reaching his ears, "Your wife was already sent to the breeding pen, and you two children were sent to the lab to be drugged and grow faster." The guard giggled as the man's face twisted into a frown.

"You're old and injured. The breeding pen is already filled, so I can't send you there," The guard's face shifted, his armor melting as he grew into a massive abomination, his voice crackling as he looked closer at the man.

"Despair, hope, sadness, happiness, envy, and love. We feed on those emotions," The abomination lifted the guard by the head, "It's your fault. Negative emotions are easier to achieve than happy ones. That's why it's more efficient for us to make your kind suffer,"

"You monster!" The man screamed, flailing his arm and hitting the monster.

"See? Just a few words and you're a fine meal," The abomination smiled, unbothered by the man's thrashing.

"On the other hand, one day we feed you bread to be happy, and the next you ask for milk. We give you one gold, and the next day you ask for two," He shook his head, "Your race's greed is what drove us to torture you for food, only blame your kind." He lifted his second hand, putting it above the man's head.

At that moment, he froze, feeling an immense presence from the sky. The abomination's hand burned with a blue flame, and the man screamed for a second before falling silent.

The creature dropped the man and looked at the sky, "This feeling, don't tell me it's one of them? Here in the mortal world,"

From the white clouds, two massive black claws emerged, followed by a massive body of muscles, scales, and pure darkness.

"No way," The abomination didn't know whether to smile or scream, seeing Arad's draconic body emerge from the sky, "A void dragon!"

^The black one!^

^There are tens in the city!^

^Burn it all.^

^No, a child is stuck under the rubble on the western side, five men and two women to the east, and several more to the north,^

^I can't blast it all,^

^Crush it with gravity,^

^No lift it to the sky,^

^Handle them one at a time with half-dragon from,^

^No, I don't know how strong they are, better to stay as a dragon,^

^Curse them to death,^

^Yes! Curse the whole city and then release the people,^

^Would an expansion work?^

^I can't pinpoint and exclude the people, so it's better not to use it here,^

^Can I distract the monsters with animals? It probably won't work,^

^Wait, wasn't the quest saying one monster? How are there so many? This isn't my target? No, it's it. The guild probably didn't have much information to work with,^

^Should I retreat and get help? No, the people here would be dead before I came back,^

^If they are dying anyway, I shouldn't hold back,^Follow current novelenglish.net . s on Novᴇ(l)ꜰɪre .ɴᴇt

^Their lives left to fate,^

^No, the girls probably won't agree,^

^I must save them, or do my best,^

^That's risky,^

^But I can survive most attacks,^

^That bastard is looking at me.^

^You're reading my mind, aren't you?^ Arad's eyes glow purple, staring at the abomination on the ground.

What even the strongest psychic could hear as mere clicks in their head when listening to Arad's thought, got read easily by the abomination.

Arad opened his jaw, roaring as he soared down, shaking the ground before he even landed.

The abomination lifted his hands, and almost immediately twelve more of his kind showed up out of nowhere, "Give us your brain," They said.

Arad landed, shattering the ground and releasing a cloud of dust big enough to cover his whole body.

The abominations formed a circle, watching each other back, "He's a bit bigger than normal, but he's still a young one. Just watch for his void step and elemental energy," One of them said, putting his long arms in a cross shape, looking around for Arad, waiting for him to teleport.

PUFF! From the thick dust, a tall black-haired woman with glowing pink eyes emerged, running toward them with a smile on her.

"A she? Did I miss reading the mental waves?" One of the abominations gasped, turning toward the woman and pointing his hand at her, "Our win, we can make more void dragons and tame them,"

CRACK! From the ground behind them, Arad burst out in his half-dragon form, swinging his fist at one of the abomination's back, sending him flying away.

"Who are you?" The abominations growled, not sensing a single drop of magic from Arad, that how he got past their senses.

Arad pulled a sword out of nowhere, and swung it, slicing one of the abominations arm.

Gemini separated Arad and Doma so they could fight against the number advantage. Doma used Virgo to get a woman's body and move more freely. Arad used Taurus to increase his physical might in exchange for his mana, allowing him to slip past the abomination without being detected.

"Which one is the real dragon?" An abomination growled, jumping back and swinging her claw at Arad. "With a smile on his face, Arad dodged her attack and swung his fist at her," A massive shockwave exploded as her head turned to mush, and her body flew back, digging a trench in the ground.

lightsnοvεl "How can he use that much power?" Another one gasped.

Arad stared at the abominations, smiling as the abomination blood evaporated from his fist. "One down," He pulled the nipple knife, looking with a grin, "Do you have nipples?"

Albeit temporary, the buff to his physical might from Taurus's binding got his strength and speed to a level matching his draconic form. All the while...

Doma swung her palm, [Curse of Guts]

The abominations bent forward, holding their stomachs, "I once had this extremely bad stomach pain, I sealed it in a curse, and now it's a gift to you," She said.

...Doma could still use magic. Taurus didn't affect the body created by Gemini and Virgo for her as they were cast before it.
