The dragon's harem

"We have our plans," The vampire growled, glaring at the woman's corpse beside him. ^Something is halting her regeneration. His magic is abnormal.^

In the blink of an eye, the vampire blasted forth toward Arad, swinging a claw of crimson blood at a blinding speed.

Arad grabbed the vampire by the hand, spinning around and smacking him in the face with the back of his fist. As the night spawn flew back, he saw Arad's foot flying toward his face, crushing his nose into his skull and sending him toward the trees like a tomato toward a bad actor, spilling red juices everywhere.

The vampire smacked into a tree, his eyes watching as the second vampire woman ran toward Arad, her body turning into mist as she fazed between the trees.

Arad remained standing in his place, looking forward with a gentle smile, uncaring as he couldn't feel a threat from those beings.

"Rip him apart!" She cried, pulling a flame-engulfed blade as the beasts surrounded Arad, trying to attack from all directions.

Arad lifted his foot, smacking the ground and shattering it, sending shards of stone and dirt flying everywhere in a burst of earth. As the small beasts got their lives ended by that, the following sparks of lightning jumping from Arad's body finished the rest, forcing the vampire woman to take a step back.

^The raw power of a barbarian, the discipline of a fighter, and the magic of a wizard, is he over level sixty?^ She growled, ^And a vampire dragon over that. No wonder he blasted the kingdom.^

She ducked, shifting back into mist and slipping between the mess, swinging her sword at Arad's neck.

In the meantime, the other vampire rushed to heal the first woman, inspecting her wounds.

Arad saw the firey blade rushing toward his neck like an axe seeking a tree. He shifted his neck to the side, dodging it like a deer turning at the last second, dodging a lion's leap at its neck.

As she realized her hit missed, the vampire woman pushed further, increasing her speed to send a kick toward Arad's face.

Arad opened his jaw, clenching his teeth on her foot and ripping her toes off with a single bite. She gasped, staring at the blood rushing off her foot.

Arad remained standing, unfazed as he spat her munched flesh on the ground, "Gross, what was it again? Vampires stronger than you have bad-tasting blood, or was it the weaker ones?"

Hearing him mumbled, she kicked him in the stomach and used that to get some distance.

"Fola. I fixed Sara's neck. She'll heal soon." The vampire shouted from the back, "He isn't the one that blasted her head. It's a curse within his soul."

"Then come and help me, Jhon!" She landed, her foot fully healed, "This bastard is strange. I know we're higher level than him, but he feels off,"

The two stared at Arad as Sara's head regenerated. Arad stood there, waiting for them to attack.

"He's mocking us," Jhon growled, lunging forward with a claw strike toward Arad's face.

Arad dodged, but the vampire quickly shifted his body, punching him in the neck. "Stop underestimating us!" He shouted, pulling Arad's throat out with his claw. "You'll regret attacking our kingdom," He laughed.

"That's it!" Fola rushed after him, swinging her fire sword and stabbing Arad's chest, pinning him to the ground.

Sara finished regenerating and lunged forward, "That hurt, you bastard," Blood rushed from her hand, freezing into a long red blade as she swung, assisting Fola in turning Arad's chest into a piece of Swiss cheese.

"HAHAHAHAHAH!" The vampires laughed their lungs out, rolling on the ground as Yuwaku dangled her bare feet from a tree branch, staring at them with a passive face.

Arad flapped his wings, landing behind the tree she sat on, and looked forward, seeing the vampires writhing on the ground. "What's going on?" He asked.

Yuwaku turned toward him, "Fear of the unknown. It turns into confidence after being solved." She turned to look at the vampires, "They feared you, so upon seeing my face, they saw immediate death, coupled with the fear of their vampiric regeneration not working. Then after a few moments, they got familiar with your face and started fantasizing about winning, pulling their desire into their dreams."

Yuwaku jumped from the tree, took a few steps toward the vampires, and looked at them with an emotionless face, "Those who see me get pulled into the abyss. They can't resist the urge to jump." She turned toward Arad, "Right now, they are beating you over and over as you cry for help, ask for forgiveness for blasting their kingdom."

"I'm standing right here," Arad replied, staring at her.

"It's their dream," Yuwaku stepped on Sara's face. The vampire woman's body withered as every sign of life faded from her, leaving a crumbling husk akin to dried leaves.

"A nymph is the incarnation of beauty. Instead of showing them a desirable body, I showed them a desirable wish." She walked toward Fola, stepping on her face and crushing it like an egg.

"The same way people get blinded by the sight of a nymph, the same way they die upon seeing us naked. I can simply kill them like this." She looked toward Arad.

"Is it illusion magic?" Arad approached her, "I'm sure I didn't see you cast magic," He looked around, his void eyes not seeing a single thread of magic in the air.

"Zephyr and Merlin are great teachers, but the little pink girl is better," Yuwaku replied, "She taught me how to shift the nature of my beauty,"

"You must be joking, that's impossible." Arad sighed, "It must be magic, and who is this little girl even?"

Yuwaku blinked, "She called herself the great demonic goddess of destruction, annihilation, and patron deity of the orphans and the lost." She replied.

"A god won't walk among mortals. She must've tricked you," Arad expanded his wings, "If you can take care of the situation here, I'll head out with the rest to the capital. Sorry as we can't take you with us,"

"Don't mind me. At the time I'm bound to the forest. I can't move even if I want to," She finally smiled, "Bring me some gifts."

"I'll make sure to bring you a lot," Arad flew into the sky.

"Didn't expect you to keep my name," A high-pitched voice came from the forests. A tiny little girl with pink hair walked, her twintail reaching her feet, dragging on the ground.

"Kali," Yuwaku stared at her, "You asked me not to tell him,"

"I was joking. No one would believe that" Kali clapped her hand with a smile, and the vampire's body flattened into a sheet of paper, burning in a pink fire in the blink of an eye. "Destroyed and annihilated, as all things should be. Except for chocolate and strawberry, I like those two. They get a pass," She started laughing with a prideful stance.

"It's almost dawn," Yuwaku said, and Kali's laugh paused, "OH! Myself! I must go," She growled.

"That was supposed to be. Oh my god." Yuwaku stared at her with a passive face.

"I'm myself's god. But, Daddy Kayden might get worried and blow this whole place, and I'm afraid of Mother Lily. She gets terrifying when she is angry, like the demonic worms of the bottom layers of the abyss." Kali waved her hand, turning to leave.

"I don't know what that is." Yuwaku stared at her.

"Long worms made of eyes and mouths dripping with stomach acid and rot worms digging through their flesh as they scream like a hundred men getting ripped apart. Don't imagine it. It gives bad dreams." Kali ran away, racing between the trees like an excited baby goat.
