The dragon's harem

Chapter 666 The Devil of Domination

Thud! Alony stepped into his castle, dragging Roberta behind him with the chain around her neck, "You'll rest with your mother for a while until I get ready to pluck those eyes of yours." He giggled, "Don't worry. Hell's air isn't burning you here, isn't it?"

"The sell beside her mother is ready," A succubus appeared behind him and bowed, "Splendid, send her there,"

He threw the chain to her.

"As you order," the succubus smiled, pulling Roberta and turning around, only to see Arad standing naked behind them, glaring her down. His body looked thin and starved.

^A mortal?^ She gasped, staring at him.

Arad lifted his hand, extending it to her to hand him Roberta's chain.

She thought of attacking, but a single look at his eyes made her shiver. ^A monster, one wrong move and he'll eat me alive,^

She growled, clenching her teeth. ^No! He's an intruder...^

RON! In the blink of an eye, she lost her upper body, leaving the chain to fall in Arad's hand.

Alony blinked, sensing one of his succubus's life disappeared right behind him, "What?" He turned to see Arad putting his hand over Roberta's head with the succubus's legs still twitching in the back.

^How did he get here? I didn't sense him. No, he was evolving. Did my devils fail?^

"Calm down," Arad said, ruffling Roberta's hair, "You'll be fine. I'll handle this." His void slowly covered her body.

"I already chained her with my curse. You can't take her," Alony said, lifting his hands. "She belongs to me now, my property, the box holding my long-awaited gift."

Arad tilted his head, "Those chains are your curse?" He grabbed the collar around Roberta's neck with his hand, "A curse of domination, I see."

"If you understand that, then you know it's over for her," Alony laughed. "It's better if you cut your losses and leave. She's unsavable now. It's over. It's best for us both if you leave. Go back to the mortal world and deal with your mortal problems."

"You're speaking now?" Arad pulled Roberta toward him.

^Bastard!^ The devil growled inside his head while keeping a calm face. ^Why isn't the hell air burning and melting him? This is the second layer, Dis! No, look how shriveled his body is. His evolution was cut short. He can't have that much energy left.^

"Look, stupid dragon," The devil waved his hand, and Roberta slapped Arad, her body moving on its own. "She's under my complete control now, and you aren't getting her back. Leave, or do you want me to take everyone else you care about?"

Arad's void engulfed Robera's body, burning like a black flame.

"What trick are you trying to pull off?"

Roberta disappeared, sucked into Arad's stomach. "I'm keeping her safe until I find a way to make you release her,"

"You? Make me?" The devil giggled, "Darlin, think again. You're in my castle, in my domain, the great layer of Dis. You expect to make me do something?"

Alony pointed at Arad, "Look at yourself, standing at the brink of death, barely handing to life as you stand. Once you die, hell will bind you to the end of time,"

Arad lifted his hands, and a violent gust of wind started rushing toward him, sucking air and Alony's furniture into his stomach.

Arad's muscles grew larger, healing as his skin turned from looking like a dry, shriveled fish into a sparkling hunk of bronze, his scales adapting to hell and blocking its toxic and acidic air from getting in by creating a thin layer of nothingness around him.

"I didn't cut my evolution short," Arad looked at Alony, "I woke up before recovering from it, and I just did that,"

"Doesn't matter! It's here where you die!" Alony shouted, extending his hand toward Arad and sending a barrage of chains toward him.

BAM! Arad lunged forward faster than the devil's chains, reaching him with a clenched fist, "Release, her!"

Alony blocked Arad's punch, but the impact sent him flying through the hallway, crashing onto its end.

Upon evolving into a juvenile void dragon, Arad's bones hardened to support the incredible output of his muscles. Layers upon layers of calcified cartilage expanded through his void, making the internal volume of his bones almost as large as his stomach.

SWOSH! Tens of devils lunged out of the doors and windows of the castle. The weakest of them were mid-rank of the second layer.

"An intruder! Kill and bind him to hell!" One of them screamed.

Arad waved his hands, [Gravity magic: Repelling blast] Using his body as a center point, he unleashed a powerful wave of gravity that pushed all the devils away from him for a split second before canceling it and lunging after Alony.

"Why isn't hell burning him?" A devil growled as he smacked on the wall, pointing his hand toward Arad, "If you have gravity! I have something for you!"

[Curse of Sight]

Arad lost his vision for a split second, and two muscular devils rushed to cut his way, "Kill him! He's blind!" The devil on the wall screamed.

The two devils pulled their spears, thrusting at Arad's head.

SWOSH! Arad bent forward, dodging their strike as if he saw them.

"What?" One of them gasped, but the next thing he knew was Arad's foot on his face, divorcing his head from his body and sending it flying like a ball out of the window.

The second devil swung toward Arad's neck, but his attack missed as Arad dodged again.

"How could you!" The devil growled as Arad clenched a fist, pummeling him into a pile of minced meat.

Arad already learned tremor sense from Nina in the past. She uses it by walking barefoot and sensing the faint vibration in the ground to determine where her enemies are without seeing or hearing them.

But Arad didn't stop at that; if he could sense the vibration in the ground through his feet, why not sense the vibration in the air through his skin, his scales?

As Arad ran toward Alony, he pulled the devil that blinded him toward him and crushed him to the ground with a stomp.

"You love to run away, don't you?" Arad teleported toward Alony with a void step, swinging a fist at his face.

Alony dodged the punch and countered with a kick, hitting Arad in the ear and sending him flying back. "I can fight as well. Don't overestimate your power, mortal."

CRACK! Arad landed on the wall and immediately jumped back, shattering it.

More devils cut Arad's way, "We'll kill you!"

Arad's looked at them with a passive face, the void of his stomach sucking air around his body as his absorbed matter. Without saying a word, his body flashed with a blinding light, blasting a massive chunk of the castle in an explosion.

"You're wrecking my house!" The devil growled, glaring at Arad from atop the rubble, "Do you want me to go out and kill everyone you know and love?"

Arad stopped moving, staring toward Alony with glowing purple eyes.

"So that got your attention? Good," Alony smiled.

Arad started laughing, "Kill them? You?"

"What's funny?"

"You didn't kill anyone, and you won't kill them," Arad glared at him, "From now on, I'll skin you over and over until you release Roberta from the binding curse. It's simple,"

"Didn't kill anyone? Ah, you probably don't know," The devil waved his hand, "I already killed one before you came, and I threw her into hell. That blond paladin,"

"A blond paladin? Lydia?"

"Don't know her name, but she whacked me good in the face, stepped on my face even. First mortal to do that in over a thousand years, even you a dragon hadn't laid a hand on me yet," Alony rubbed his cheek, "My teeth still itch from her holy magic,"

Black scales emerged on Arad's neck, "Then I don't have time to waste. I need to go look for her,"

"By now she'll be bound by the hell's chains and is a sinner who would never leave hell. Add to that. Even I don't know which layer she dropped into. Could be the ninth for all I care."

Arad shifted into his half-dragon form, "Then I'll swallow all of hell to find. I don't care what corner of the world you hide her in. I'll pull her out and skin you alive here," BAM! Arad disappeared from Alony's vision.

Alony smiled, jumping away and dodging Arad's kick, waving his hand, [Curse of Domination: Ice Bearer] From Alony's fingers a mountain of ice rushed out toward Arad, melting in the heat of Dis.

Arad dodged the ice mountain, but his vision got impaired, and he couldn't sense the vibration in the air well thanks to the water vapor.

Thud! The devil grabbed Arad by the face, dragging him through the molten lava.

"I make contracts and get people to lose so I can bind them to me. By doing that, I can steal their power, however weak it was," He smiled, throwing Arad away, "I then can use that power, but it gets amplified to my status as a devil lord of hell." He waved his hands.

[Curse of Domination: Lightning of Damnation

Blue lightning crackled from Alony's fingers, turning black as it got infused with curses, "I took this from a paralyzed mage after I promised to teach him how to use lightning to control his unmoving legs. Of course, he failed to fulfill the contract, and here it comes,"

Black lightning rushed from the devil's hands, striking Arad and pushing him deeper into the lava.

"This isn't all that I have," He smiled, [Curse of Domination: Apple Gravity]

Arad's body got pulled out of the lava, "You used gravity before. Can you use it better than me?"

Arad's body got pulled toward the ceiling of Dis, smacking it with a massive blast from the sheer speed.

From the dust, Arad's eyes gleamed purple as he stared at Alony, a disturbing intellect burning in them that enraged the devil further.

"What's that glare for?" Alony growled.
