The dragon's harem

"Don't move!" Ganta growled back at Matilda, pointing at the ground around them. The whole room is still covered in sticky webbing. Only the spot they stood in now didn't have any due to Selina's fireball.

The two looked at the wall, barely able to spot Aella latching onto one of the boss's legs and standing on them to fire an arrow under the monster's faint glow of her menacing eyes.

"They both are green." Matilda said.

"The boss's eyes are bigger, and many of them are together." She noted. Usually, monsters can't control their magic, so the mana glow always shows on their eyes, especially when enraged. But for humanoids, that light only shows when using magic, as the mana needs to reach the brain to be controlled.

Selina extended her staff into the boss's room from the door as Aella distracted her. [Dust Storm]

This spell is usually used to blind people, like a really massive pocket sand move.

As the dust rushed into the boss's room, it made it hard to move and see for a few seconds, but that didn't really matter as it was already too dark.

"What is she doing?" Ganta growled.

"You're the stupid one now." Matilda pointed at the ground. "The webs aren't sticky anymore."

"So trust." Ganta smiled as the two of them rushed toward the boss's glowing green eyes.

[Brilliant Light] Selina cast another spell, sending a melon-sized ball of bright light into the ceiling. It looked like a welding arc, but far bigger and able to illuminate the whole boss room.

"What!" Matilda gasped as she looked at the ceiling.

"This spider, we need to kill her quickly." Ganta couldn't believe her eyes.

Hearing them, Aella looked at the ceiling and finally noticed it. Those long things on the ceiling weren't stalactite, they were thousands of eggs ready to hatch.

"Selina, burn the ceiling!" Aella shouted. CRACK! But at that moment of distraction, the spider smacked her with one of her legs, sending her rolling into the middle of the room.

"I sense human magic from them!" Selina shouted, and Aella looked carefully at the ceiling as she stood. Indeed, several students were alive, encased in webbing among the eggs.

It was clear after one look at the boss's face, that she did it on purpose. "That thing is intelligent enough to plan. She's using the students as hostages!" Aella shouted, ^This means even if I was alone, I can't blast this whole place with a fire arrow.^

Matilda grabbed the boss from one of her legs, pulling her to the side. At the same time, Ganta latched onto another leg and swung up, punching the boss in the guts.

The boss spider growled, coiling her legs down and jumping up. As Matilda and Ganta fell off her legs, she flung a net at them.

[Fire bolt] Selina sniped the net before it could hit them, and the boss turned her head toward the door, glaring at Selina who stood there white growling. Her eyes flashed with a deeper green.

STAB! An arrow pierced the boss's anus, causing her to gasp with a deep screech. She turned to glare at Aella with an enraged growl.

Aella glared back with a grin, "It's payback for your hit earlier."

The boss growled, squeezing the arrow out, and rushed toward Aella.

Aella took a deep breath, pulling her bowstring back. PEW! PEW! PEW! She unleashed three arrows in rapid succession.

CRACK! Matilda bit one of the boss's hind legs, holding her in place like a dog that doesn't want to let the stick go.

Ganta rushed in and kicked the boss's other leg as hard as she could, trying to drop it down.

[Wind Blast] An arrow of wind exploded at the spider's face, pushing her back enough to trip it over Ganta's kick.

The boss held her balance before falling, looking straight back at Matilda with a deep growl. She opened her mouth and puked a splash of poison.

Matilda immediately let go and lunged back, barely dodging the attack. "Gross!" She cried.

Ganta tried to jump on one of the boss's legs and punch her in the head, but the boss quickly moved back, throwing her to the ground. The spider then flung a net toward Ganta, trying to pin her down.

Ganta looked held still, trusting that Selina would burn the net, so she got ready to counter at that moment. The spider thought the same and got ready to bite Ganta's face off when she attacked as the net burns.

…

The fire never came out, Ganta got caught in the web, and instead, the boss saw small specs of silver mist coming from above and then felt something heavy on her back. Selina was sitting there. [Mist Step] A 2-tier short-range teleportation spell.

SPLAT! Selina immediately grabbed two of the boss's large eyes in her hands and shouted at the top of her lungs. "Lighting touch!" [Lighting Touch]

A flash of lighting rushed out of Selina's shoulder and straight into the boss's head, illuminating the whole room.

[Lighting Touch] [Lighting Touch] [Lighting Touch] [Lighting Touch] [Lighting Touch] She kept screaming and casting the same spell again and again, shocking the boss repeatedly through the eyes.

Both Ganta and Matilda who were close got shocked, but as they weren't linked to the boss, the first shock sent them flying away, safer from Selina's contentious cast of the spell.

As the boss fell down, Selina fell with it and broke her left leg and arm as she hit the ground with her left leg first.

Selina cried in pain, but still forced her head to turn toward the boss, trying to read its magic. "It's fading, she's dying." She forced herself to speak through the pain.

Aella rushed toward them, Matilda crawled toward Selina with her hair half burned, and Ganta growled in the back.

"You shocked us." Ganta growled.

Matilda stared back at her. "Trust, a good faint if it took the boss down." She stared at Ganta back with a grin, as if she won something.

Selina basically used them as bait, and it worked.

Ganta laid on her back, wishing they would get her out of the webbing as soon as possible. "If it worked…" She sighed.

Selina forced herself to sit as Aella arrived to help her. "My staff." She gasped, and Aella brought it to her.

Selina pointed the staff at Ganta and was about to burn the webs, but then suddenly something smacked Aella in the face, sending her flying back with a splash of blood.

"What!" Selina gasped, and it was the boss, she's still alive. Before anyone could move, she pierced Ganta's stomach with one of its legs. Matilda jumped to attack, but she got immediately stabbed as a mindless attack only left her open for counters.

The boss tossed Matilda away and pulled her leg out of Ganta's stomach, leaving the two bleeding so much that they lost consciousness almost immediately.

Selina pointed her staff at the boss, trying to cast a spell but she was too slow. The boss rushed forward and bit her from the shoulder then tossed her away with poison gushing from her wounds more than the blood did.

The boss's head extended forward, cracking and peeling off, and from it, the naked torso of a woman emerged.

She gasped for air, rubbing her own chest, and nipples then tied her own hair into a ponytail with her webbing. As she stretched, she used her two front legs to wrap her breasts in webbing to stop them from bouncing with each move.

"Should've, cut my head off." She growled in a jagged voice, staring at the corpses around her.

At that moment, she felt a large gust of magic coming from the other side of the room with two glowing green eyes staring at her. Aella walked into the light with a smile. "Back at you! You should've gone for the head as well."

"I did smack you in the face, how are you alive, elf." The spider asked.

"My husband's fists are heavier." Aella stared at her with a bleeding nose and a crazed smile.Remembering her training with Arad, if she hadn't gone through that, the spider's hit would've knocked her out.

"How pathetic, we eat our mates after mating." The spider took a few steps toward Aella and then plunged her front legs into the ground, causing the whole room to collapse into a large cavern below.

Aella immediately covered the girls' bodies in bubbles of compressed air and locked onto the boss. As they fell through the air, the battle started once again.
