The dragon's harem

"This chalice," Eris lifted the spiky, weird goblet and stared at it from the sides, sensing the magic flowing from it. "I heard stories about it. But never expected them to be true."

"Believe me," Alcott looked at her, "It isn't as useful as it sounds," He pointed at the chalice. "The more skilled as a vampire you are, the more useless that thing would seem."

"Drink blood from it once a week, and your blood healing will restore mana and stamina on top of health, granting you an almost endless supply of power as long as you have blood." Eris said, waving her hand over the chalice, "I want to try it."

"Vampire blood control is more about skill than actual abilities and spells. It's like trying to do a flip. Everyone has the limbs and muscles to do it, but few can, and even less master it." Alcott waved his hand, "Ask Ginger to teach you. She almost never runs out of stamina and mana when using blood magic."

Thud! "Did you call me?" Ginger appeared behind him, and Alcott slowly turned, sweating.

Ginger pulled Alcott by the ear, "You left me and rushed ahead. Do you know how hard it is to keep up with you?"

"AW! My ear!" Alcott gasped, "You could have teleported or flown behind, couldn't you?"

"Arad's blast was impressive. I saw the hole it left. But I doubt father would perish from such a thing, and my blood magic didn't expand, meaning that he's still out there." Ginger growled, staring back at Arad, "Father is still alive. There is no mistake. If he died, I would have grown stronger as the next in the bloodline."

"[Vlad is the blood king of vampires. Ginger would take his throne and become a blood queen if he died.]" A mouth opened on Arad's face, "[The only way to kill him is for Arad to eat him.]"

"Would my stomach be able to digest him? Brother wasn't able to eat that demon lord, and he's an adult." Arad tilted his head, "Is there a way to train my stomach?"

"Thing about beating father first, then think if you can eat him or not." Ginger stared at them, "I doubt you can fire that thing again,"

Arad smiled, "In fact," He giggled, "I've been slowly compressing matter inside my stomach by removing its void. I've already amassed a tenth of the Nova's power, but it's getting almost impossible to control. Anything over this, and it would explode."

The girls looked at each other, "You really love to play with fire," Aella said with a smile.

"The spell is simple, why won't I try it?" Arad looked at them with a grin. "Albeit, the simplicity is the problem. The goddess used brute force to achieve the ho-white nova, flexing her power. To us, it's like telling us we can flatten a mountain by sneezing." Arad looked at his hand, "I do not have the energy output, mana control, or time magic to stabilize the nova on my own."

"Then how about you start learning magic for real? I gave you that book about gravity magic," Merlin walked out of nowhere, just teleporting into the room as she sensed Ginger's presence. "Ginger, it's been a while."

"I heard you exploded into a labyrinth, tell me how it happened later, I'm sure it's a fun story,"

"Not even close." Merlin looked down.

Arad looked at Merlin, pulling the book out of his stomach, "Already finished it, and it's useless. It only details how to use gravity magic based on the user being a human. As a dragon, I can scale things with sheer force, but's not magic designed for dragons." He waved the book, "I need dragon magic, not human magic."

"There aren't that many dragons capable of using gravity magic, let alone ones willing to share their skills. To us, it's a part of our hoards." Kinryuu looked at him, "I would have given you something if I had it, but sadly I only have fire, sleep, and gold magic. I dabbled into lightning, but it's been a pain."

"A dragon mage, I can only think of brother, but I doubt he had enough time to develop his own gravity magic. I knew he developed dragon's ice magic." Arad remembered, "Probably I should start researching magic on my own."

"That's your best bet," Merlin looked at him, "I'm a human and can't research dragon magic based on my body. Or you can try your luck asking other dragons."

"An object's gravitational force is directly related to its mass," Vasilissa looked at Arad, "As a dragon, you naturally change your mass when shifting from a dragon to a human form, that's why your feet don't crush the ground beneath you."

She waved her hand, pulling a book out of her pocket. "As a dragon, you can inscribe the magic on your scales or wings, which can assist in the cast. Try elevating the nova's mass until it collapses on its own and starts pulling matter. At that point, you won't even need gravity magic to grow it." She threw the book to Arad.

"Then I can isolate it with my void, and I only need time magic to stabilize it and explode it at will." Arad smiled and opened the book, "You did research draconic gravity magic?"

"Don't ask questions," Vasilissa glared at him, then looked away, "Think of it as a wedding gift, since this Buffon doesn't seem to have brought anything to you." She pointed at Alcott with her thumb.

"To think a steel dragon knew gravity magic, and I didn't know," Kinryuu stared at her, "Why didn't you use it against Alcott?"

"Mind your own business," Vasilissa glared at him.

Kinryuu giggled, waving his hands, "Mutual respect, we metal respect the privacy of other's hoards. You don't need to tell me if you don't want to,"

Arad had read a few of the book, "With this, I might be able to pull the ho-white nova after evolving once." He smiled with an excited face.

Vasilissa looked at him, thinking with a smug face, ^Excited about a ho-white nova, wait until you know that you can compress it further to create an all-consuming black hole, then compress that to create a time-space fissure that erases everything it gets close to.^
