The dragon's harem

Arad lunged at the abominations, "Just what are you? I feel like you're a problem," He smiled, swinging the nipple knife at one of them.

The abomination jumped back, doing a back flip even with his twisting stomach. Arad's first strike missed, but he teleported forward, latching into the abomination's face with [Void Step], and without wasting any moment, he stabbed it over and over like a madman.

The abomination growled, grabbing Arad with his hand and throwing him away.

Arad landed beside the wall, staring at the knife, "No nipples, then this thing is useless," He sucked the knife back into his stomach and pulled the adamantine sword.

At that moment, Arad gasped as he saw one of the abominations fly past him, crashing into the wall. His eyes looked back, seeing Doma lunging from one to another.

Doma jumped at one of the abominations, barely dodging its claw strike and pointing at its chest with her finger, [Dead Worm]

White worms emerged from the abomination's chest, and Doma smiled, flicking her fingers, [Explode]

The worms exploded, blasting the abomination back, but the bastard healed before he could even hit the walls.

"External damage doesn't work? Then how about this?" She spun her hands, drawing a circle in the air, [Dance of Devils and moon]

The ground seemed to twist around her, and the sky turned back. The moon fell down, exploding into silver dust as the abominations lunged away to dodge.

Arad smiled, seeing half of the abominations screaming in place as Doma tried to crush them mentally first in an illusion. He jumped forward, Doma left him five of the monsters to deal with, and he couldn't comply.

"Kill the woman first! She's dangerous," One of the abominations screamed as he lunged toward Arad, swinging his claw.

Arad slipped beneath the claw attack and swung his sword at the monster's knee, cutting his leg with one swing.

The monster growled, keeping his balance as he swung his second claw, trying to catch Arad.

In the blink of an eye, Arad disappeared and only left a small puff of dust on the ground. "Teleported? No, he's that fast!" The abomination looked to the side and saw Arad land on the wall, and then disappear once again as he jumped back toward him.

"He's faster than what a normal young void dragon should be," One of the abominations shouted, waving his hands and casting a spell.

Arad gasped, feeling a tingle in his chest and he started getting nauseous. But that wasn't enough to stop him, he kept flying forward, cutting one of the abomination's head with one swing.

CRACK! As he looked for another monster to cut, Arad got kicked at the side, but he blocked the hit, yet the impact sent him flying, breaking the wall and crashing inside the city.

The abominations walked into the city from the crack left by Arad, staring at him as even more of them crawled out of the ground. "What are you? We never saw a young void dragon this strong, even in space."

BAM! A massive crossbow bolt flew from the walls, and the abominations dodged it.

"Another one survived?" They said.

On the wall, a local A-rank fighter growled as he stood beside the ballista, his severed arm bleeding through the dirty rags he tied it with. ^Damn it, I missed. Those things are too fast and powerful to deal with directly,^

One of the abominations lifted his hand, "Die!" He charged a black ball of magic, firing it toward the adventurer at a blinding speed.

"I'm dead!" The adventurer gasped.

ZON! Arad snatched the adventurer before he could get blasted into ash, teleporting with him above a building, "Don't butt in like that!" Arad growled.

"Use everything you can! Adventurers live and die alone!" The adventurer shouted back at Arad, "Are you still green? You should've let me die and used the opening to slice them up!"

Arad looked back at the adventurers. That man was right. If he let him die, he could've sliced one or two of the monsters.

"Your plan won't work," Arad replied, "I kill two, and a dozen remain," He looked forward, "Look, they crawl out of the ground like cockroaches,"

^Gemini and Virgo time already ran out, and so is my Taurus,^ Arad thought, clenching his fist.

"What are you thinking about?" One of the abominations stared at him, standing with his back twisted, glaring with glowing blue eyes. "We want your brain. You please be cooperative and give it to us without trouble,"

Hundreds of abominations stood on the wall, crossing their arms as their mental energy resonated.

"He's in the zone!" They all said at the same time.

Arad lunged forward without wasting any time, clenching a fist toward the abomination's face.

The abomination dodged it by a hair strange, ^The hell? He's immensely faster than before?!^

CRACK! Arad's foot dug into the ground, shattering his boots as he twisted his upper torso, ripping his upper torso clothes as he swung a right hoot at a devastating speed.

With [Time slow] Active, Arad slows time by 90%, resulting in his own speed spiking by ten times.

As Arad's left hook raced toward the abomination, it crackled with energy, rushing out of Arad's veins. The first that he learned from Nina and used to evaporate Chuzuke. Arad's heart rumbled like an engine as all of his blood rushed toward his muscles, pushing them to the absolute limit.

The burning fist Arad was about to launch wasn't done, in that fraction of a second he recalled his brother, and how he punched Vars. Just like him, Arad tried it, pulling matter out of his stomach and putting it between his fist and the abomination, crushing it with the void to unleash a burst of energy.

The abomination could only see a flash of light wash his vision as Arad's fist approached, a beam of pure light exploded forth, evaporating the abomination, and the others behind it, and erasing a hole into the wall, the ground and all the way to the mountain where it exploded into a massive burst of fire.

All the abomination shook, ^Isn't he a young one? Where all this power is coming from?^

SWOSH! Arad shifted his pose, swinging his left arm with the momentum, "Hurry! The fucker isn't done yet!" One of the abominations screamed, but his voice came late, a second punch landed, burning another horde of them, and exploding at the mountain.

The adventurer in the back couldn't even see Arad move, only the blasts that violated the ground itself. To his eyes, Arad wasn't a human or an adventurer, just an even bigger monster than those creatures.

Arad's body expanded into his draconic form in the blink of an eye, opening his jaw and unleashing a continuous stream of plasma, compressing it into a small beam and swinging his neck, ripping through the walls and abominations, leaving a trail of fire and destruction.

As the abominations screamed, Arad lifted his hands, [Void...]

"Arad! Stop!" He paused, hearing Aella's voice in the distance.

"What?" Arad turned, seeing one of the abominations holding her up, "Why are you here?" Arad growled, and lunged forward, "Don't move!" The abomination ripped Aella's arm off, causing her to scream.

"You stop?" The abomination smiled as he saw Arad pause.

"Don't play too much," Another abomination appeared, throwing Mira's head toward Arad, "Everyone is dead except her,"

As Arad stared at Mira's head, the abomination surrounded him.

****

BAH! One of the abominations gasped, falling on his butt, panting as the fire consumed half of the city and forest. Arad's draconic body lay dormant in the middle of the city. He finally fell to their dream right after unleashing his breath.

"The fuck is this thing? I never saw a young void dragon this powerful, or can split into two," He growled, looking around as other abominations approached him.

"Good work, sealing that woman," They said.

"Seal? Are you stupid? I only capitalized on whatever spell they used to separate themselves to keep them separate." He threw an old, mummified heart to them, "The bitch sealed herself before I could take her place and infiltrate the bastard's mind. This what she made of herself,"

The abominations inspected the heart, "A cursed heart, she's sealed in it?"

"Yeah, that I said," The abomination stood, "She saved the bastard, if I got in his mind, he'll be our slave for life. For now, don't get the heart anywhere near that void dragon, I'm sure this woman would find a way to get back to him, and then our spell won't be able to keep him sleeping.

"We understand, but what should we do with him?" They looked toward Arad.

"He damaged us a lot. Send him to the second colony for psychic extraction. We've put him in a nightmare, so give him something even worse to dream off, then siphon that energy to rebuild and incubate more eggs. It's been a century since we got such a powerful energy source." The abominations stood, "It's our time to rise back to our glory," He lifted his fist.

"For the dream walkers!" The abomination shouted, to them, that this was a golden opportunity for them to expand and colonize the world, finding a new place for them to call home.

The abominations are outsiders, coming from the furthest edges of the unexplored universe, far outside of the gods' jurisdiction. Their only goal was to invade the world and make it their own.

"Won't people come look for him?" An abomination asked.

"You're right. I fear such a powerful being is being supported by the gods. Take this," With a flick of his hand, Arad's body shifted back into a humanoid form, "Rip his arm and throw it into the wild. The mind controls some humans and spreads the news that they perished. Humans are stupid, so their paper world would give us at least a week to hide him and rebuild our strength."

"As your order,"

As the abomination left, their commander stayed on the wall, watching as Arad got carried away.

"For fuck sake, who is the real monster? We or him, stupid gods." He mumbled, looking back at the destroyed city, burned forest, and blasted mountain, "We merely hunt for food, and this thing blasts the world like this?" He jumped down from the wall, touching a flower with his massive hand.

"In &£$%&£, the world isn't this beautiful, we have no flowers, no dirt or clean air, only filth and gore." He looked at the sky, "Why do humans get to live in such a stunning world even though they destroy it, and why are we the ones seeking to survive being cast away?"

"Commander! We're leaving,"

"I'm coming," He replied and then looked at the horizon, "We'll take better care of this world than those naked apes, come on, can't you just give us a piece."

****

"NAH!" Cain growled, rocking on his chair, "Suck my toes for a thousand years and no fucking way I'm giving you a shit. You monsters eat souls, and your victims never return to the cycle of life and death, disturbing the flow of energy. Do you know? Energy should be constant, never changing, and only change its form, but you erase it. That's why your old world turned to shit, and that's why I won't let you turn this place into an even grumpier shit,"

Cain closed his eyes for a second, "Also," Lifted his hand, pointing at the sky with a finger.

"Also, Fuck you in particular!"

****

A lightning bolt fell from the sky, evaporating the abominations commander where he stood. The idiot made the mistake of calling to the heavens. So the heavens could see him.

****

"Cain, you're swearing too much," Jemima approached him.

"When someone asks you a stupid question, and on top they keep splashing spit onto your face, you gotta get angry, right?"

"You said Sena needs to handle this, so sit down and don't interfere," She gave him a cut of tea, "Now relax and watch, don't cause trouble,"

"Say, what if she got harmed? I won't stand it," Cain mumbled, "You see I'm old and sensitive. My million hearts won't be able to handle it," He pretended to cry.

"Neither Sena nor Arad won't get a chance to learn anything if you interfere more. Let the birds learn to fly on their own,"

DING! DONG! The shop's door opened, ringing the bell attached to it. An old lady walked in, and Cain immediately stood, rushing to the shop.

"What a beautiful lady. What can I get you?" He said with a smile.

"Oh! My, a lady you say..." The old lady blushed, and Jemima smacked Cain on the head with her broom.

"Stop it! You've had enough, don't chase the hags!" She growled at him, and he laughed.
