The dragon's harem

^This woman!^ The demon jumped back, turning away to run. ^She isn’t normal. Something is off about her.^

CLANG! Nina flew right past him, ripping one of his legs off with a kick. Her skin was bright red as steam rushed out of her body due to the excessive heat generated.

“BURN!” He screamed, burning her once again, but she tanked it, healing almost immediately.

^Her regeneration is out of control.^ The demon jumped aside, trying to figure out a way to stop Nina.

Usually, fire and acid were the things to go with, but if even internal combustion wasn’t enough to hinder her regeneration, acid isn’t even worth trying.

^I’m not wrong!^ He grunted, his leg regenerating as he pointed his arm at her. “I can feel it, your body. Something is wrong with it.”

BAM! Nina lunged forward, roaring with a clenched fist, racing toward the demon’s face.

He barely dodged, touching her stomach. [BLAST]

CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE! Several beams of concentrated magic rushed from his palm, attempting to pierce Nina’s stomach, but they just splashed like water on steel.

CLACK! Nina held her axe high, dropping it down toward the demon’s head. ROAR!

SWOSH! The demon flew back, extending two wings and staring at Nina, His right shoulder and arm were ripped off by her axe.

^I’m doing almost no damage at all, and one solid hit from her would kill me.^ His arm regenerated, ^Let’s try piercing damage,^

Nina didn’t wait for him, jumping right toward him relentlessly.

The demon flew out of her way. ^My only advantage is the simplicity of her attacks. She closed the distance as fast as she could, then swung. As long as I time my dodges well, she isn’t a threat,^

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! As the two flew across the battlefield, the demon grunted, ^But at this rate, I will be the first one to fall,^

CLICK! As he gathered enough mana, he pointed his hand at her. “Eat this!”

A stone the shape of a bamboo emerged out of thin air, spinning at a horrifying speed enough to shake the air around it.

^Wait until she jumps…^ He aimed, PEW! He fired the bullet right as Nina lunged at him, wishing to blow her head off with a shot inside her ever-roaring mouth.

“Impossible!” The demon cried. Nina clenched her jaw down on his bullet, shattering it between her teeth.

THWACK! As if squatting horizontally, Nina flew directly at the demon’s face with two kicks as she swung her axe at his torso, cutting him in half.

The demon’s upper torso rolled on the ground, with his blood boiling due to Nina’s axe.

“To think. I would lose so easily,” He giggled, “But it isn’t over!” He screamed.

From the darkness, hundreds of demons like him appeared. All aiming down at Nina. “We’re an army! We’re one! Even Lady Zuggtmoy won’t survive this!”

BOOM! All demons fired at the same time, blowing Nina and their commander in a massive blast.

“Commander Iiric, may you rest in the eternal swap of Zuggtmoy.” One of them walked forward, lifting his hand and saluting the explosion.

“May he rest!” All the demons repeated.

“Follow me, we’re assisting Gatora. I did feel his magic flickering.” The demon turned to leave, but then the explosion flame faded.

ROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Nina’s scream blew the flames off as she crawled out of the infernal hell the demons created enraged more than ever.

“For real? She survived that?” The demon gasped, sweating as he aimed at her.

“Again!”

BOOM! All the demons fired, blasting her with a second blast.

“You were lucky to survive the first one. You should have just laid down…”

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!

Nina lunged out of the explosion, ripping the demon in half with her bare hands.

All the demons cried, half rushing to fire at her while half attempted to run away. None of them wanted to deal with someone who survived a blast that could kill a demon lord, twice in a row.

On the other side, the Oni woman fighting Merlin stopped, staring into the distance. “This magic, no life force.”

“Do you have time to look elsewhere?” Merlin pointed her wand at her, firing a flame lance.

The Oni created a barrier, blocking Merlin’s spell. “You’re annoying,”

^That life force,^ The Oni grunted, ^A tarrasque? But how could it be? That lizard lays asleep at the core of the earth and only wakes once in a few centuries. We didn’t pull it into the abyss. We aren’t that stupid.^

She dodged a few spells from Merlin and fired a beam of lightning at her. ^No, the life force is far lower than the tarrasque. A newborn? No, this is a sorcerer, someone with the tarrasque’s blood.^

CLAP! Merlin teleported to the Oni’s side, smacking her in the face with a quarterstaff.

“I’m the one fighting you,” Merlin said with a smile. She could sense Nina going crazy in the distance.

The Oni growled. Merlin wasn’t allowing her a chance to leave. ^At this rate, they will all die. Trying to kill that thing is useless. I need to throw her back into the mortal world.^

She lifted her staff and tried to conjure a portal.

“You won’t leave,” Merlin pulled an orb, sending waves of magic and disturbing the portal, shattering it.

“As long as Nina is here, you will lose eventually.” Merlin stared at her with an evil smile, “You don’t have the means to stop her,”

****

The demons screamed, running for their lives. No matter how many times they blew her up, she kept coming back again and again. Each time, she became faster, stronger, and even more aggressive.

The fearless demons crawled on the ground, digging holes to hide in as the blood of the comrades splashed across the sky. They started shaking and crying. Each time they looked back, they only saw her cutting them apart.

“GOD! SAVE US!” One of the demons prayed, crying as he could feel Nina’s oppressive presence approaching.

Thud! “Nina! You’re getting too angry!” A girl’s voice boomed across the darkness.

“GRRRRR?” Nina stopped, staring to the side to see Kayden with Kali sitting on his shoulder.

“I will kill the demons,” Kayden said, “You calm her down before she loses all her sanity,”

“Don’t worry!” Kali jumped from his shoulder, her pink hair glowing as she walked cheerfully toward Nina.

CLING! The moment Kayden pulled his sword, all demons turned into a red mist.

“Nina! I want to play!” Kali lifted her hand.

SWOSH! Consumed in her rage. Nina kicked Kali in the face, but the little girl didn’t budge an inch.

“Don’t want to?” Kali said with a sad face, clapping her hands. “Well then, probably next time.”

Nina’s skin returned to normal, and she fell to the ground, unconscious.

“Should we take her back?” Kayden asked.

“A tarrasque doesn’t have neither a brain nor a heart. If we had left her rampage, she would have lost herself and turned into a monster.” Kali looked back at Kayden, “But that doesn’t mean we can interfere too much. We’ll leave her here. She would be fine.”

Kayden nodded, “If we left her rampage, she would have eventually reached Zuggtmoy and killed her. What if she raged again?”

“She won’t,” Kali replied, “Zuggtmoy and Demogorgan have to worry about the Orion brothers. Nina won’t wake in time,”
