The dragon's harem

Arad laughed. ”You didn’t give me any fun, so I won’t let you eat until we finish everything.” But she immediately hit back. ”I was going to suck you off! You’re the one who said we should wait until the end.”

Seeing her pouting face, Arad smiled. ”Fine, want to eat?” He waved his arm, and she shook her head. ”NO! I’ve lost my appetite!” She stood, stomped down, and in the next second, was right by his side, swinging her open palm.

She slapped him across the face with all of her strength, ripping his entire face off, but the very next moment, Arad had done the same and slapped her on the back, causing her to roll on the ground and scream her lungs off. If she had any liquid inside her, she would’ve already let it all out from the sheer pain.

Merlin, who was watching from her room while getting oiled and massaged by her maids, flinched. ”Oof! Dalla’s slaps hurt like hell.” But really, working this is hard. But she wasn’t alone. Her room had gotten much bigger, and now had several more beds there.

On the bed beside Merlin, Betty was there, naked as well, and having her legs gently massaged by one of Arad’s maids, one who had learned massage and was a master of it for years. ”Ah! That feels good. They hurt a lot after running like that. Make sure to get my calves. The tendons there are almost torn.”

On the next bed, two horrifyingly beautiful women laid naked next to each other, each getting massaged by her own entourage of private, draconic maids. They were Luminous and Linda, which were here because Merlin had invited them. She wanted to show this fight to Nina’s clan.

Luminous edited the footage with her light magic so the barbarians won’t see Nina or Arad naked, and Linda did two thing: slow time so the barbarians can see slow-motion shots of Arad and Nina beating each other, as well as covering Luminous’s body with her shadows so she won’t blind everyone.

”Look at that build!” Luminous gasped, rubbing her thighs together as she was getting turned on just watching Arad fight. ”I really want to go there and play with him a bit.”

Linda sighed and looked at her. ”Calm down. You can ask him later.” Even though she said that, the maids massaging knew that she might be even more down-bad than Luminous, as she had already wet the bed twice.

Betty looked at them with a disappointed face. ”Grandma, I’m here. Try to behave yourself a bit.” As she spoke, Luminous stared at her with a grin. ”I’m a drakaina. What’s wrong with expressing my love to him? Seeing him fight, his huge body, indomitable will, and handsome beard turns me on. I love that, and I’m ashamed of it.”

”I’m telling you to behave in front of your granddaughter!” Betty rubbed her face, and Luminous licked her lips. ”And I’m telling you that you should start acting like a drakaina. That’s the only way for you to draw more power from your light bloodline. Dragon blood, hormones, and growth are driven by violence. The creator made Asgorath, our forefather, for the sole reason of fighting the abominations.”

She turned on her side. ”Yggdrasil was created to hold the universe together, Lucifer to fight the abominations outside the universe, Asgorath to hunt those who slipped inside, and humans to worship the gods who fuel the angels.”

Betty was silent, so Luminous added with a giggle. ”We dragons are hard wired to seek violence and fights, we were made to fight after all. That’s why we chose our mates based on strength, that’s why we’re selectively breeding ourselves to optimize for fighting power.”

She tapped on the bed. ”We dragons take territory to protect the ecosystem. In the past, when the humanoids had no civilization, they sought us. They served us, the dragons, in exchange for protection from the abominations.”

She then lifted her foot up and brought it down on Linda’s back. ”Linda, mind telling her why we dragons act the way we do?”

Linda stared at her. ”I’m not here to raise your kids.” But then, with a sigh, explained. ”The metallic dragons are the carrot, and the chromatic are the stick. The young dragons have forgotten, but the reason we dragons are separated into good and evil is to keep pressure on humans and force them to grow stronger.”

She turned toward Betty. ”A dragon born today doesn’t need to understand our history, culture, or even read a book. Through breeding and constant practice, we managed to ingrain it into our very souls.”

”If a dragon is born chromatic, they’ll naturally see humans as inferior, try to enslave them, take territory, and terrorize all those who live in it. They’ll teach humans true fear, which will force heroes and legends to be born. The Metallic dragons are the shining hope, and they are naturally drawn to help the struggling humans and teach them how to fight side by side with higher powers.”

Hearing that wasn’t news to Betty or Merlin, as they had already had their own speculation and prior knowledge, but getting confirmation meant a lot. Dragons were really made to force the humans to grow and protect them.

”I guessed as much.” Betty looked troubled. ”And now those dragons are waging war against each other.”

Linda and Luminous looked at each other for a second, and then they both laughed. One of them was the daughter of the Metallic Queen Mary, and the other was the daughter of the Chromatic Queen Lola.

”I’ll let you in on a secret, my sweet little baby.” Luminous giggled. ”You’ve heard of the Metallic Queen’s Steel Vault and the Chromatic Queen’s Caged Nest, right?”

Merlin looked at them, Interested. ”Basically, their private rooms. I heard that’s where they keep their hoards worth more than all of the world’s kingdoms combined.”

Linda almost burst laughing. ”The door to the Metallic Queen’s Steel Vault and the Chromatic Queen’s Caged Nest actually lead to the same place. They aren’t two separate rooms, but one.”

”What?” Everyone else gasped, and Luminous rested her head on her arm. ”They have the same room. They sleep together. I bet you that they are both naked right now and going at each other like wild beasts. When they get tired, they scheme for the war and plan everything. Who wins, who dies, and how it’ll all play out. They are using the war to stimulate the growth of both the humans and the dragons.”

Linda added. ”The previous Overgod, Cain Lisworth, had made sure that his wives love each other as much as they loved him, so that they won’t fight among each other when he eventually dies. He wanted them to stand shoulder by shoulder, and this is what they are doing.” She looked up. ”No one knows how far his plans go.”

”You’re his daughters, right? Did you meet him?” Betty asked, and Linda nodded. ”Several times, but I don’t like being refereed to as his daughter. We aren’t. We aren’t related to him at all. Our birth was merely the Overgod’s power awakening the latent genes of Asgorath that had passed down the generations.”

”The Overgod, Cain Lisworth, only has nine sons.” Luminous shook her head. ”Just sons. Sena is considered his daughter, true, but she was born from his eldritch magic and Tiamat’s draconic magic. One of his sons that you met is Gray, the Highest-ranked S-ranker and world power.” She then looked back at the screen, seeing Arad stepping on Nina’s face, shattering it.

”Ow! That must’ve hurt.” Luminous had to focus on her work as the barbarians were watching the entire fight unfold.

As Arad lifted his foot, Nina’s whole head regenerated, and she looked at him with an excited grin. ”That was a nice one.” She cracked her neck, and started walking.

Arad, who stood just a few meters away from her, smiled. ”Ho? You dare approach me the same way you did before?” Gently lifting one foot.

Nina could remember exactly how it went before. He shoved his foot right through her stomach. It didn’t matter if she tightened her abs or not; he just blasted through.

”Well! I can’t eat if I don’t get close!” She took a huge step forward and disappeared into a blur as her entire body crashed onto Arad.
