The dragon's harem

"What's this?!" The mother spider gasped, feeling something grasp her ankle. She looked down, seeing a purple eye glaring at her butt out of the dirt. CRACK! Another hand extended out of the ground, and Arad emerged, lifting the mother spider up as she balanced on his hand. Lucia and Sylvany crawled out of the hole right after him.

Lucia immediately felt a heavy pressure coming from above, and when she looked up, her eyes met the mother spider's glowing green eyes. That wasn't a normal monster, she could tell at a glance, that they were facing an S-rank horror, if not stronger.

At first glance, Arad's magic looked far too small and weak compared to the monster he was carrying, and Lucia couldn't avert her eyes, keeping the mother spider in sight, in fear of a sudden attack.

"ARAD! DON'T!" Aella was the only one who saw the situation differently. Arad had already felt her fighting the mother spider and had even known of Matilda and Selina's injuries. On top of everything, Aella was potentially pregnant, and that made it even worse.

Arad might look as if he's standing calmly in place, but that wasn't the case, he's about to bust and burn this whole area to cinder.

"Hey, human. Put me down…" The mother spider growled but instantly shut up when Arad turned to stare at her, she could feel it, he was a monster like her.

CRACK! Suddenly, Arad swung his arm, smacking the mother spider on the ground, digging a hole with her then her body flew at the furthest wall, hitting it with a powerful impact. That mere attack sent so much dust and had such a powerful blast it sent Lucia and Sylvany rolling away.

The mother spider puked blood, staring at Arad who stood in the same spot. He didn't throw her, her knee ripped apart from how fast he swung her around. Arad started walking toward her, munchkin on her severed foot with glowing purple eyes.

Lucia and Sylvany tried to look at the battle, but the dust from Arad's smacking the mother spider was getting in their way. Aella barely managed to stand with her vision slowly getting darker. She drank a potion as she made her way toward the girls to heal them as well. Lucia and Sylvany quickly followed her to help.

"What did happen?" Lucia asked.

"That woman is a spider, she's the dungeon's boss. She had three phases until now, those got knocked out when the second phase started. I managed to hold, but she just entered the third phase and I got hit." Aella quickly explained as the three of them tried to heal the injured ones.

"For us…" Lucia looked at the dust. "We were locked in the dungeon's power source room, but Arad managed to dig us out after I taught him some basic earth magic…What in the hell is he?"

"He's just a talented man." Aella replied, "How else do you expect him to have this many wives?"

"Like I know…"

****

^He ate it, my severed foot. He can't be a human, a devil, a demon, no this magic is getting masked but those lizards can't hide it, he's a dragon.^ The mother spider stared at him with her eyes, trying to deduce his true nature.

CLACK! Her leg immediately regenerated, and she landed on her feet, staring at him with a smile. "To whom I have the honor? It's rare to see one of your kind around here."

Arad took a step forward and appeared right in front of her face. She gasped, lifting her arms to block, he swung his forearm, smacking her in the side and sending her digging a trench in the ground.

She growled, trying to stand back up and pull her face off the ground, but Arad had already reached her side and sat down. She started sweating as she saw him beside her. He's too fast for her to see, and too strong for her to block.

"What brought you here?" She mumbled, but Arad grabbed her by the neck and pulled her on his lap. "What are you doing?" She gasped, then screamed at the top of her lungs as Arad shoved his fist up her butt and started pulling silk out.

She struggled to move, but it was impossible to escape Arad's grasp.

"Let me go! What are you doing?" She cried.

"Your silk is of a higher quality than any other spider. I'll eat you after I drain you of all the silk you have." With just a look at his face, he was serious.

To Arad who is a dragon, a vampire, and a wyrmwolf on top of everything. Almost everyone around him is food to be consumed, and his care and sympathy for them directly relate to his first impression of them. If the first thing he knew of someone was them attacking his wife, he would not see them as anything different from the mundane monsters living in the forest. That spider they caught in the forest and milked earlier, to him, the mother spider was the same.

Even though it was uncomfortable having her silk pulled out, and even though this situation felt humiliating more than anything else. The mother spider opted to stay still and try to give Arad as much silk as she could, and as slowly as possible in the hope of buying herself some time to think of a way out.

As the dust settled down, everyone else approached, seeing Arad still sitting in place, pulling silk out of the spider's butt.

"What in the nine hells are you doing?" Lucia gasped.

"It's silk is quite strong and durable. I bet it's better than anything we could harvest from other spiders." Arad replied.

"She looks like a normal human woman, but with eight eyes. Are you sure this is okay?" Lucia stared at him.

"This world is filled with shapeshifters, and why should I care?" He replied.

"A monster of her caliber should be fairly intelligent. Shouldn't we talk with her first?" Lucia tried to find a reason why the way Arad was treating the mother spider was wrong.

"Should've used that intelligence to think about not attacking my wife." Arad replied, "I don't care who or what, if they as much as touched one of my wives, death is them getting away debt-free. I'll use get as much of them as I can, then dispose of them in the depth of the abyss." He kept the fact he wanted to eat her out, as they didn't know he was a dragon.

Aella was right, with how powerful Arad is, nothing in this dungeon could stand against him.

Arad blinked, the silk had run out. He slowly turned his head toward the mother spider. "Is this all you had?"

"I've used quite a bit in our fight…" She replied with an extremely worried and nervous face, sweating buckets. "I can provide more if I rested for a bit…"

"No need, this amount is enough." Arad lifted his hand, about to crush her head to the ground.

"WAIT! WAIT! WAIT!" She cried, "I still have my poison, it's quite strong and rare, I'm sure you'll never find anything like it anywhere else."

Arad stared at her for a short moment and then extended his forearm in front of her face. "Bite it."

"Heh?" She gasped.

"I said bite it. I'll see if your poison is worth my time." Arad growled at her, lifting his hand. If she doesn't comply, then there is no more use to her.

"I'll do it! I'll do it!" She cried and bit his arm. CLANG! Her fangs failed to pierce his skin[Sclaes]

The mother spider gasped again, "Heh?"

"You're that weak? I said bite it. NOW!" Arad was starting to get irritated. He would've eaten her in the blink of an eye if Lucia and Sylvany weren't here.

"Are you insane?" Lucia was standing there silent for a while, and then finally snapped at him. "I could stop caring about her. But what do you think yourself letting her bite you? That's dangerous."

^Shut up! Human. This is my chance, this fool of a dragon wants me to bite him. He'll regret it, my poison changes each hour and is constantly getting more complicated, he'll die screaming in pain in a matter of seconds.^ She tried to bite. ^That if I can get my fangs to pierce his damn skin.^

She slowly turned toward, "Sir, can you please relax a bit… I can't seem to get a bite in…"

Arad couldn't be more disappointed, what kind of an S-rank boss monster can't bite…^No, the problem isn't with her. I'm the problem here…^

He started to notice and feel it. Unless it's an extremely powerful outside, an ancient and long-lived threat with decades of preparation and planning, or at least an overpowered world power. They'll most likely not pause a threat to him.

Arad relaxed the scales on his forearm and the only forearm where the mother spider was trying to bite, and she managed to get her teeth in, delivering a massive amount of her poison into his body.

Arad's skin started turning blue from where the mother bit him, and veins bulged on his neck and face as his heart rate started rising and his vision blurred.

Thud! The mother spider jumped out of his lap, laughing her guts off. "You fool! Letting me bite you. Now you'll die regretting your choices!"

Arad stood, staring at her with a sad face. "I really thought it was something special, what a shame." He said.
