Demonic Dragon: Harem System

'I think I pushed him too far... I'll scare him a little more and then heal him,' Scarlet thought, smiling as she saw how close to death he was. 'I have to admit, he's the first person to last this long.'

What she didn't expect was that... he wasn't going to be defeated so easily.

'I'll use my ice manipulation to create two fangs in my mouth, dodge her first strike, throw myself back, and bite her neck,' he thought. It was a bold plan, but... it was all he had.

[Do you wish to use all remaining energy?] the system asked.

"Yes," he said, before unleashing all of his aura and charging forward.

Initially, Scarlet had actually planned to push him to his limits and see how far he could endure in order to train him in the most efficient way possible. She wasn't even taking it seriously and had her guard completely down.

To her, and to anyone watching... Scarlet was a god hitting an ant. A complicated analogy to think about, but... ants are known for their strength and adaptability.

Strax released everything. All the energy left inside him burned in a wave of ice and fury, causing the air around him to instantly cool. The ground cracked beneath his feet, and the contrast between Scarlet's searing heat and the ice emanating from him created a thick mist that enveloped them.

Scarlet raised an eyebrow, surprised by the sudden change in the atmosphere. "Interesting..." she murmured, still smiling confidently, but her eyes narrowed, analyzing every move he made.

Strax no longer thought about pain or exhaustion. His body moved purely by instinct, a primal force driven by desperation. The ice fangs he had formed pulsed with power in his mouth, sharp and lethal. He knew this was his only chance. One bite. Just one bite, and he could change everything.

Scarlet stepped forward, her movement fluid and almost casual, as if she were dancing. "It's over, Strax," she said, her voice soft yet firm, full of certainty.

But Strax didn't hear her. All he saw was the target: her neck.

"Now!" he roared internally.

Scarlet moved forward, as fast as lightning, her flaming blade coming down in an arc that would cut anyone in half. But Strax wasn't in the same place anymore.

With an explosion of strength in his legs, he dodged at the last second, sliding across the frozen ground. His vision was blurry from the heat and the mist, but he didn't stop. In one fluid motion, he used the force of the dodge to propel himself backward, slipping under Scarlet's arm.

"What?" she murmured, surprised by his unexpected agility.

Before she could react, Strax was on top of her.

With all the remaining strength he had, he sank the ice fangs into her neck.

Time seemed to stop.

The searing heat of Scarlet's skin burned Strax's lips, but he didn't loosen his grip. He felt her blood flooding into his mouth like liquid fire, burning everything in its path. It was raw, overwhelming power that seemed to want to destroy him from the inside out. But he swallowed, resisting the urge to spit.

Scarlet gasped, the shock taking over her body. "You... bastard...!" She tried to push him away, but the bite had already been made. The ice forming Strax's fangs now sank deep, draining her hot blood and leaving a mark she hadn't expected.

For a moment, her look shifted from that of a predator to one of disbelief.

"He... bit me?" she whispered.

Strax finally let go, being thrown away as Scarlet gathered her strength to push him off. He rolled across the ground, hitting a tree, but he didn't care. His body burned, his skin felt as if it were on fire from the inside, but he could feel something changing.

A new force. An unknown hunger.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

His heart beat wildly, and his eyes, once of a normal color, now glowed with a deep, almost bestial red.

Scarlet touched her own neck, watching the blood flow between her fingers. For the first time in a long time, she laughed, a low, almost threatening laugh that Strax couldn't even hear...

"You actually did that... kid," she said, raising her gaze to him. Her killing intent grew, but there was something more: a flash of respect. "If you survive this... maybe you're even more interesting than I thought."

Strax gasped, trying to contain the pain that dominated him. His body was in tatters, but now there was something different pulsing in his veins: the power of Scarlet's blood, the blood of a legendary vampire.

The mist around him seemed to thicken. He smiled weakly, feeling that the impossible might just be the beginning.

"I won't... die so easily..." he murmured, his eyes glowing brightly.

The transformation began silently, but the pain was a massive roar within his body.

Strax could feel every cell of his being screaming as Scarlet's vampire blood circulated through his veins, activating something he didn't fully understand.

The pain was indescribable — as if his body was being torn apart and rebuilt at the same time, a battle of primordial forces, all blending with his dragon essence and the mark left by Persephone.

[The transformation into the Vampire race is being initiated!]

The system message appeared in his mind, but Strax had no room to worry about it. The pain intensified with each passing second, as if his skin were tearing, his bones distorting, and his insides were burning under the pressure of two worlds colliding within him. With every breath, he felt something stirring inside him, a growing hunger, a primal strength, something he couldn't control.

[Alert! Race change in progress. The user is experiencing a physical collapse. The transformation could be fatal!]

The words blinked frantically in his vision, but he was beyond any warning. Scarlet's blood was still burning in his veins, and his flesh felt like a leaf consumed by fire. He was dying, but with every piece of himself that broke apart, he was reborn stronger, more intense.

[Significant alteration detected! System adjusting user attributes...]

[Race: Blood Dragon Vampire (Combined Race - 80% Vampire, 20% Dragon)]

What had been unbearable pain became a frenzy, and he felt the pulsing strength of his new identity taking form. His fangs elongated, sharper than any blade he had ever known, his claws grew even more, and the color of his eyes transformed into a deep red, like that of a hungry predator. Regeneration happened almost instantly. He felt the broken bones, the wounds, the damage from everything he had endured heal, the injuries closing as if they had never existed.

[User parameters updated. Accelerated regeneration initiated. Resistance increased. Combat power enhanced.]

Strax stood up, his muscles now filled with inhuman energy. The pain hadn't completely disappeared, but he felt his body strengthening, adapting to this new condition. He looked at Scarlet, who now observed him with an expression of mixed curiosity and surprise, her once confident smile now tinged with a hint of respect.

"This... is impossible..." Scarlet murmured, watching Strax's transformation with a mix of fascination and interest.

Strax felt a power like never before. He was becoming something beyond human, beyond dragon, a fusion of both, stronger than either could be on their own. He felt the thirst for blood pulsing through his veins, but also an immeasurable strength. He could feel the accelerated regeneration healing even the deepest scars of his soul.

The transformation was complete, and Strax felt more alive than ever, but now, he was something different. He was no longer just the dragon or the human he used to be. He was something more. Something dangerous. Something about to challenge anyone who underestimated him.

"I won't die so easily, Scarlet," Strax said, his voice now deeper, almost carrying a supernatural echo.

The system, still reacting to the drastic change in his body, continued to shoot messages nonstop.

[Alert! Race change completed successfully. User now possesses the unique combination of Vampire and Dragon abilities.]

[Warning! User's strength exceeds expected limits. Parameter adjustment may be required.]

Strax stood up fluidly, as if he were an extension of the very air. His feet touched the ground with a supernatural lightness, without hesitation. The pain, which had consumed him for so long, was now a distant echo, a reminder of what he had once been. His body was fully healed, but at the same time, he seemed different. More powerful, more predatory. His sharp claws and fangs stood out as his red pupils gleamed with a primal hunger, a thirst for blood and power.

In front of him, a flood of system messages began to accumulate, flashing with frantic intensity. He didn't care about the volume of information, only absorbing it with a cold calmness, his hands clenching into fists as he awaited each detail.

His regenerative power was no longer limited to simple physical recovery; now he could heal even the deepest damage with ease, at the cost of a bit more blood.

"Blood Manipulation... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He suddenly started laughing, making the entire place shake abruptly. "FINALLY, ANOTHER ONE!" He shouted maniacally.

After all... The Main Mission was still the same mission from before...
