The dragon's harem

Chapter 886: A Massive Hunt



"WEAR SOMETHING!" Matilda gasped as Arad approached her and the other students shirtless, still smoking from the fire.

"I'm wearing my sc...skin." He was about to say scales, but immediately changed it to skin.

"What do you even mean by that?!" Matilda glared back at Mira and she rushed in with a jacket for Arad, "Wear this."

Arad looked at Lucia, "The paralyzing poison did work. It was amazing, even a small fraction of a second of paralyze could create an opening large enough to finish a battle." He smiled, smacking Mira on the back, "She got him good, an amazing shot." He shifted his gaze toward Ramy who was still half terrified in the back, "Mira seems to be learning a lot from you."

"AW! That hurts!" Mira gasped; she wasn't expecting such a tap.

"And, those were some nice spells, Merlin. Both the rain and the lightning strike." Arad waved his hand at her.

"Did you forget me?!" Isdis glared at him from where she stood above one of the carriages. "My buffs helped as well."

"Of course, I didn't forget you." Arad wore the jacked that Mira brought him and looked at Isdis, "We all worked together to take the massive monster down."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Suddenly, all of the students rushed at Arad, "You blocked that monster's massive tail! How did you even do that?!"

"No, forget that, did he punch or kick him into the sky? How could a human do such a thing?" The students started swarming him, asking more questions than he could hear or answer. But then, one of them asked one question, "I can understand training, I've seen how you fight several times. But what do you eat? I can't imagine normal food fuelling such power."

Arad looked at him with a smile, "Milk."

Mira immediately pulled a gun and shot Arad with a paralyzing dart, and he fell face first on the ground. "We need to talk." She grabbed him by the arm and dragged him into the carriage, locking the door behind them.

"What do you mean by milk!?" Mira stared at Arad and growled.

Arad opened his eyes and sat up, the paralyzing poison didn't work on him, he was just playing along. The dark wouldn't even pierce his scales if he didn't allow it.

"Calm down, it was a joke. I once heard Alcott call a boaster who could do nothing a milk drinker." Arad replied, "He was referring to the fighters who couldn't hold their drink and got milk at the bars."

"If that was the case, you're the last one to be called like that." Mira grunted, "And that wasn't my point, what did you mean by milk?"

Arad smiled, "AH! I see," He giggled as Doma spoke in his head, "Breast milk."

Mira immediately pulled her gun and loaded it, "One more joke like that, and I'll shoot you."

Arad giggled, "Sorry, sorry...I won't joke about it again." He stood, "Let's go out, I need to store that monster before we keep heading to the lion's village. I bet they could see the fight; I can't wait to see how they'll react to us when we reach them."

Arad walked out of the carriage, seeing the students already inspecting the monster's corpse, both amazed and terrified at its massive size. Most of them had never seen massive monsters, let alone got close to one. Standing before the world's large megafauna, they finally started to see how similar to ants they are.

Even this massive monster would've been merely a dog to a titan, which calls into question Tempo, the volcanic titan prince who was studying with them at university. That free spirit and hot-blooded guy, always yelling each word with a large smile on his face.

"Aron," Zara approached Arad, "When I faced you at the university, you weren't even using a tenth of your power."

"I'd rather not use it." Arad replied with a smile, "Father would laugh at me if I boasted about my strength. I do anything about how I look, but I can at least keep my strength in check." "You have power, then use it." Zara sighed, "It'll cause a lot of misunderstanding if you hide it. I wouldn't have started a fight if I knew you're this strong." He looked at the dead brachiosaurus, Arad was stronger than that monster.

"Strength is a curse." Arad replied with a straight face, "It's a spiraling abyss, the deeper you fall, the hungrier you get. You're either die a monster or live long enough to grow bored." Those weren't Arad's words alone, Doma was already inside him, and she had seen the height of power, and felt how unbearable and boring it was, to the point she chose to seclude herself in her hut.

"I can't understand that." Zara stared at the dead brachiosaurus and then at the sky, "If I was stronger then I'd be able to hunt bigger monsters and provide more for my family. They'll be safer, wealthier, and none would dare harm them."

"That's where you're wrong." Arad shook his head, "There is always someone stronger than you out there, you'll always seek more wealth and power, and you'll never feel sated. You'll attract stronger and deadlier enemies who'll do their best to get back at you."

Arad pointed at the brachiosaurus, "Just imagine, what if I lived here and began hunting monsters left and right to grow my wealth? Won't you Queen Hati come to stop me?"

"Why would she do that? We too hunt brachiosaurus, using large pitfalls and traps once every few years, we sometimes fail, but mostly succeed." Zara replied.

"Those monsters should be a large part of the ecosystem of the jungle. You'll kill one of them every few years, that won't be a problem. The queen can prevent you from killing it if you wanted, it'll literally take you weeks of preparation and calculating." Arad smiled, "If she didn't want you to kill, she'd just sabotage your hunt and protect the jungle for eternity. But I'm an unpredictable disaster to her, I bet she'll send people to stop me if I hunted another one."

Since Arad can kill the brachiosaurus so fast, Hati won't have time to stop him in a mundane way. From where he stood, he could feel her magic rushing through the ground itself. The queen is always watching, observing, and planning for her next step.

Arad approached the brachiosaurus's corpse, "Merlin, is the magic ready?" He asked. "Yeah, it is." Merlin replied with a smile. She didn't need to do anything; this was just a cover for what he was about to do. No matter how anyone looks at it, Arad's stomach far surpasses any ordinary storage magic to a terrifying degree.

Arad touched the brachiosaurus's tail and it disappeared in the blink of an eye leaving a crater on the ground. Some of the students rubbed their eyes and looked again, it had really

disappeared.

"Now we can keep going without needing to worry about anything." Arad looked at everyone with a smile, "It was a short stop, but I think it was worth it."

Lyla looked outside from her carriage, "He's amazing, isn't he?" she looked at Mira with a smile, "I knew he's powerful, but not like this."

"You rode him here. He's larger than that monster, of course, he'll win." Mira shook her head, "It's like comparing a tiger with a deer."

Roberta giggled, "I bet that monster would've run away if he saw Arad in his draconic form."

"No." Mira smiled, "It'll fight to the death. Most monsters understand that you can't run away from a dragon, they can fly, swim, and dig at a horrifying speed. They are an all-terrain murder monster."

"That little one." Lyla looked up, "What was his name...yes, Flatail the beaver. He told me that Arad followed a dimensional demon across the void and ripped everything in his way apart."

"Yeah, you can't escape from Arad." Mira smiled with a proud face, "He's quite persistent... even when he shouldn't be..." She looked away with an exhausted face.

"What do you mean?" Roberta looked at her with a puzzled face.

"It's nothing." Mira shook her face.

At that moment, Isdis opened the door and walked inside. "You'll all here?" She smiled, "Is Serin still asleep? Did the noise wake her up?"

Tina who was sitting to the side watching over Serin who slept with Ignis, "They are fast

asleep."

Isdis sighed in relief, her drumming and Arad's battle didn't seem to wake them up, all thanks

to Merlin's magic.

"Isdis..." Roberta looked at her, "Mira said Arad is a bit too persistent, what did she mean by

that? He isn't looking for trouble, is he?"

"Why are you asking her!" Mira gasped.

"It's not about that." Isdis looked at her, "He's extremely persistent in bed. Only Eris and Merida can spend a night with him without waking up with sore hips."

"Isdis!" Mira cried.

"Is she... so that what she meat." Lyla giggled, "I might have something to help you." She

looked at Mira.

"Mom! Not you as well." Mira was almost unable to withstand the conversation, especially when her mother got involved.

"Not just that." Isdis looked at Lyla, "There is the matter of Nina and Merlin."
