The dragon's harem

Chapter 932: The Four Demon Lords



Lunara ran toward Arad while laughing like a mad woman. With an earth-shattering jump, she flew at his head, swinging her sword down and slashing him across the shoulder as the demon fighter tackled Arad once more with a shoulder shove.

Due to the four demons' immense strength and Kayden's advice for training, Arad's fight had started with him already in the dragon's stage, leaving one form in the tank.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Aronos!" Lunara shouted at the fighter who just tackled Arad, "Don't hit my husband! Only I can hit him!"

"Shut up!" Aronos shouted back. It's either that Lunara is too absorbed in her own thoughts, or that Arad's beauty effect is stronger against women than men. "Wake up! Get back to your senses!"

Arad turned around and swung his claw at Aronos, but the demon easily jumped back, getting ready to counter with his great sword. But the ground beneath his feet suddenly flashed and exploded into massive burning stone spikes. Arad had learned earth magic from Lucia when they were stuck underground, and he could use it to fight.

"I'm awake!" Lunara rushed through the burning stones like the wind and swung at Arad's arm, severing his right claw with a single move. "Arad was your name, right?" She glared at Arad's steaming jaw, "I want you, and I'm gonna get you. We can do this the easy way, or the hard way. If you resist, I'm going to have to start with your wives."

Arad regenerated his claw, and jumped straight toward Aronos, ignoring Lunara. "Wait! You're going for him?!"

The killer demon, Kagoro was standing beside Kayden. "He's intelligent, taunts won't work against him. Is that right?"

"I've warned you before, didn't I?" Kayden sighed, "You're here to train his defensive power, but that doesn't mean he can't kill you. If this was a direct fight, my money would be on him killing you all."

Kagoro jumped into the air and disappeared like mist, finally landing in his hiding spot five kilometers away from the battlefield. In his thin arms, he held a massive sniper rifle that he bought from Mechanus. The weapon charged with magic, crackling white as he looked through the scoop, aiming straight at Arad's chest.

"Piercing round engaged, dragon type, heavy caliber, target locked on, accounting for location-specific natural aspects, done." POOOF! As silently as a puff of smoke, Kagoro fired his bullet straight toward Arad, piercing his chest and barely missing the heart and spine.

Arad's eyes immediately looked toward Kagoro's direction.

Kagoro gasped, "Wait! Shit, he found me from a single shot?" He stood, trying to change location immediately.

Arad easily accounted for his stance, the entering and exit wound for the bullet to determine where the shot came from.

As Kagoro turned around, he found Arad standing behind him, charging an energy breath. Arad's range is 40 Kilometres {~25 miles}, so trying to snipe him from 5 kilometers {~3.1 miles} away was a bad idea.

[Shadow Step] Kagoro teleported behind Arad's back to avoid the deadly breath and aimed another bullet at his back, trying to blow the spine into pieces but Arad wriggled his back and neck like a snake, dodging the bullet at the last moment and caused the beam of his breath to rip a ravine in the terrain surrounding them.

"Kagoro! We're here!" Glinstone shouted as he appeared in the sky, swinging his ghostly battle axe toward Arad's head. Lunara was on the ground aiming to sever Arad's left hind leg, and Aronos was already latched onto Arad's tail, hacking at it with his dull great sword.

As the four demons kept hacking and slashing at Arad's scales, he rampaged across the lands, blasting and nuking anything that moved before his eyes. If the mortal world saw such a battle they would panic, thinking that the end of the world had started. With a single breath, Arad would wipe out large chunks of land and the mere aura of those four demons is powerful enough to instantly kill any human that gets too close to them.

The abyss is an infinite hole with no bottom, it extends endlessly, giving birth to new powerful demon lords and princes on each of its untold layers. Those four demons were demon lords of some of the lower layers that Kayden brought to train Arad just like the demon from yesterday. Every one of them could prove a threat to the whole world had they been brought to the mortal world and would slay countless hero in their conquest.

Kayden didn't choose them just for their power though, he wanted people powerful enough to challenge Arad's skills. Lunara was a master slasher; she was known as the severing demon queen of the 987 lairs of the abyss and was born almost 600 years ago. When mortals suddenly found their skin getting filled with cuts and slashes, it was her influence and malice taking shape in the mortal world.

Have you ever found a cut on your body that you can't figure out where it came from, those are called Lunara's licks, and she had taken interest in you, an interest big enough for her to taste you and see if you could be her next meal. She was brought to fight Arad and give him a challenge with her masterful slashes.

Kagoro is a fairly young demon lord, being born just in the past century as Mechanus started spreading their steel snipers across the world. He resides in layer 3546 of the abyss and is rapidly gaining influence among snipers and assassins as the lord of mystery and undetected killing. He was recently blessed by Gracie, the mother of all life and death to be an avatar of death and shadows, granting him enough power to rival other older demon lords.

Kayden had called Kagoro since his bullets were one of the best piercing attacks of all the demon lords of the abyss.

Aronos is the oldest of the demon lords that Kayden called and a personal favorite of him. He was called as the demonic sword master of violence, his giant black sword was made of the dried bones of dead gods, a large, jagged, and dull hunk of solid matter that crushes and never cut.

Being over ten thousand years old, Aronos had existed long before Kayden was even born, and he had held a massive influence on the abyss as a demon lord who enjoyed slaying other demons for fun. War runs in his blood, and he finds nothing more enjoyable than the sound of crushing bones and agonized gruntles and cries of his ripped-apart enemies. His legendary dull greatsword would provide a perfect test for Arad's ability to resist bludgeoning damage. Kayden's could've picked a demon lord with a hammer or a club, but those are either too slow to hit Arad, or too powerful that they won't offer good learning partners. Glinstone isn't that known in the mortal world as he rarely cares to interact with humanoids, but he's well known across the multiverse and especially with seasoned conjuration wizards as the GGL {Ghastly Ghostly Lord}. Summoning and creating different weapons of magic is his specialty and most of the magic that conjures ethereal chains or weapons could be traced all the way back to him. Even as a demon, he's backed up and protected by the goddess of magic for his achievements.

Even the basics of something like Betty's light sword, which Arad copied into a void sword could be traced all the way back to Glinstone's magic and scriptures, that is how his name is spreading across the world. With the other three handling the slashing, piercing, and bludgeoning, Glinstone's role is to offer a bit of variety by adding pure magic weapons to the mix and challenging Arad with different variables of damage.

As Arad roared into the sky, his voice cracking the ground, the four demon lords faced him with sweat rushing down their backs, even their powers combined, they could only hold onto life by the edge while facing this Nuclear Chaos, this apocalyptic dragon from the world's end. The training ground went into flames as the demons charged once more at Arad, looking at the stars glowing on his obsidian wings. Those were traces of magic as he tried to analyze their attacks and form his barriers. Just as humans could use hand gestures to manipulate magic and increase their accuracy, Arad was using his wings as amplifiers to further refine his -control.

"Don't let him refine his magic! Attack the meridians glowing on his wing immediately!" Kagoro shouted as he aimed his rifle, blasting one of the stars on Arad's left wing, which was one out of the twelve sapphire stars down, and the bullet ripped a hole in the mountain behind the battlefield.

Lunara jumped at Arad, swinging her sword at his chest, "Look at me!" Arad dodged her attack and swung his claw at her back. Such a massive being shouldn't be able to move that fast, but Arad wasn't any normal creature, the way his body twisted and moved was so abnormal that it caused those who saw it to have a headache.

Arad's claw had stopped Lunara's Blade.
