The dragon's harem

Chapter 1029: Lalaʼs Advice

Merida jumped forward swinging her sword with a large smile on her face. The Iron-skinned giant before her wasnʼt that strong, but its skin was protected with iron scales and a large amount of mana, making it extremely hard to cut.

Sparks flashed as she deflected his punches with her sword and tried to slash him in half, but her blade just deflected away. She was intentionally holding back a large amount of her demonic power to not spoke the other students fighting alongside her, if she didnʼt, this giant wouldʼve died with a single slash.

Their teacher had already noticed that her moves were strange. Even with how powerful she was, her acting was awful. It only took him a single look to know she was holding back a lot, and that had made him quite disappointed. Ever since her husband had beaten him and the whole class that old teacher knew that she mustʼve trained under her husband.

^In a real war, she would be my commander. How did it come that she is just a student here?^ He had done some research and found out that she was the genius swordswoman nicknamed the Blade of Whitehold. At a young age, she had defeated countless sword masters at the great tournament of the frozen city of Whitehold.

His research also came up with some interesting information, the old general Geralt and his daughter Roberta were reported to have been spotted with her husband, which only aroused the teacherʼs suspicion. Her husband mustʼve been trained by him or another great fighter that Geralt knows.

As the teacher watched their fight, Arad suddenly appeared out of nowhere, standing right behind Merida. ”Powerful monsters, arenʼt they?” Arad said with a smile and Merida immediately gasped and looked back at him. ”Youʼre back!” She jumped at him.

At that moment, the teacher screamed his lungs out, ”Donʼt look away!”

What the teacher didnʼt know is that Merida can look away, she can afford to be careless because sheʼs now in her husbandʼs arms after all.

While hugging Merida in one arm, Arad blocked the giantʼs fist with his other arm without budging an inch. The ground beneath his feet cracked with a boom as the other students were flung back from the shockwave.

Merida didnʼt seem to care, rubbing her face on Aradʼs chest with an excited smile.

Arad is now holding back all of his power to a level that the other students could believe, which means the giant had no way of knowing he was a dragon.

Arad looked at the giant with a smile, ”If you want to live, go away.”

When Arad blocked the giantʼs fist, the giantʼs knuckles had caved in from the impact, that alone told the giant that he had no way of standing up to Arad. The moment Arad gave him the option, he ran away as fast as he could.

Arad looked at Meridaʼs teacher, ”Iʼm taking her away for a day or two. I hope you donʼt mind.” He threw him a letter written by Betty.

The teacher looked at the letter, Betty was basically saying that he should let them go and not ask any questions. The teacher sighed, ”Fine if the headmaster says so.”

”Youʼre also coming?” Merida looked at Aella with a smile and Aella nodded, ”Come here.” She whispered in her ear and Merida got extremely excited, ”Really?! Itʼs been a while!” She jumped in Aradʼs arms as Aella sat on his shoulder, and with a single leap, he disappeared into the trees with them.

The students looked at their teacher, ”We know she is his wife...but what with all of this? Can they come and go as they please?”

”Remember how the princess hired him to guard her a week ago? And with his power to stop that giantʼs fist with ease, he is a student here, but that doesnʼt mean he isnʼt some powerful adventurer or general of another kingdom. The headmaster herself is helping him so he at least has the same influence as the king believe it or not. Headmaster Betty is a headstrong brat and never listens to anyone.” The teacher sighed.

Not any random person could get favors like candy from Betty, she doesnʼt even look at most people who come seeking her. There is a reason why she was known as a cold, arrogant, and annoying little brat which further proved that Arad isnʼt normal.

But at that moment, a hand tapped the teacherʼs back, ”Your pay is cut in half, and you have to teach extra hours.”

He froze, looking back, Betty was there. ”And before I forget, call me a brat again and Iʼll shave your head like an egg. Little boy Edward.” She immediately teleported away with his pants, leaving him in his underwear among the students.

At the universityʼs church, the holy class students were praying beneath Amaterasuʼs statue when they heard the door behind them open up. Their teacher, the nun Lala opened one eye and looked back, spotting Arad taking a step inside, the barrier she set around the whole place twisting around his body like it was nothing.

Her eyes flashed pink and she could feel something twitch inside her stomach. ^Heʼs bigger, stronger, has denser magic, is wealthier, and kinder...^

She licked her lips, ”Eris, Lydia, come with me. The rest keep praying.” She turned around and took a step toward Arad, when her heels hit the ground with a clank a strange spark of magic locked the whole church and forced the shadows to dance.

Lydia and Eris looked around noticing that all the other students had gotten frozen in place, the whole church had started to look bland, colorless, and dried out. This was Lalaʼs shadow magic that she received as a blessing from the Mother of All Life and Death Gracie.

”For a succubus, youʼre quite proficient with divine magic till the point you can invoke a godʼs power.” Arad stood facing Lala who was no taller than his stomach, glaring down at her with his muscles bulging up. ”What was that barrier for?”

She tried to affect his mind with it, normally this would cause him to immediately attack, but since this was Lala, Eris, and Lydiaʼs teacher and the woman who worked hard to find a cure for Zul, he was willing to listen. In fact, itʼll take far more than to offend him from her. ”What else do you think it was? I tried to put you under my seduction spell. How can I pass on such a sweet ball of mana and power?” She giggled, sucking on her fingers.

Her hips were already shivering and he could even smell it, something was off about her today.

”My wife is behind you...my WIVES are behind me. Did you think you could seduce me just like this?” Aella and Merida were standing right behind Arad unaffected by the shadow magic. Lala had used two spells until now, the first was the barrier she tried to seduce Arad with, and the second was this shadow magic she used to allow them to speak freely.

When Lala noticed that Aella and Merida werenʼt affected by her shadow spell she giggled, ”Now I want you even more, to be able to protect them.”

”Your magic wonʼt have affected me. Even if he couldnʼt pull them out I wouldʼve done it.” Eris glared at her and Lala looked at her with a smile. ”My lovely little girl, youʼre a demi- goddess, divine magic like this shouldnʼt be able to harm you anyway.”

”What about me?” Lydia was already reaching for her sword. She trusts Lala as much as Arad does, but if she were to lift a finger of harm against them, Lydia wouldnʼt hesitate for a

second to slash it.

Woe be upon thee if Lydia pulls her sword on you.

”Youʼre a problem. With how much will youʼve got, I bet you wouldʼve freed yourself and blasted the place.” Lala sighed and shook her head. ”As expected of a fanatic Amaterasu paladin.” Everyone knew that Lydia would do it, whether the enemy was a friend, a devil, or a god, sheʼd swing with zeal and divine arrogance.

Arad looked at Lala, ”I never understood how could you be a priestess of two goddesses at once. While being a succubus.”

”You might not know, but Amaterasu and Gracie are really, really close like those.” She lifted two fingers together. ”If not for the sun, the shadows wouldnʼt have been born, if not for the sun, life wouldnʼt have ever started, and if life didnʼt start, death wouldnʼt have ever become

a thing.”

Lala sat on one of the churchʼs seats and put one leg on another, ”We succubus worship our great mother Gracie. She often sends us to serve and study beneath other gods, the same as me, Iʼm here serving as a priestess of Amaterasu. Horny succubus nuns arenʼt that uncommon, I bet one of every 100 nuns that you see is a succubus.”

”I knew more vampire nuns than succubus nuns or normal nuns for that matter, but Iʼll take

your words for it. But that is not something that I wanted to know.” Arad looked at Eris, ”I came to pick you up. Itʼs been a while, so weʼll talk on our way.”

”Arad.” Lala called him, ”I must warn you about something.” She looked at him and he

stopped.

”What is it?”

”Something changed about your magic, right? Now you feel more like a superpower than just

an absurdly powerful dragon. Youʼll start attracting both the good and bad kinds of people. It doesnʼt matter how much you try to hide your power, the strong always sense each other.” She lifted her nun robe showing them her dripping wet underwear.

”Since I smelled you I canʼt calm down, my stomach is twitching and my teeth are tingling. That seduction barrier, I unconsciously set it up to snare you.” She covered herself, ”This is the natural hunger of succubus, but Iʼve never seen such an irresistible meal before.” She looked at the worried Eris.

”Donʼt worry. Itʼs painful for me but I wonʼt lay my hands on my studentʼs husband unless you want me to do it of course...” She looked at Arad with a smug grin, ”The point Iʼm making is...” She cleared her throat.

”I should be careful of other people, especially those who feed on mana like succubus and fairies.” Arad nodded.

”I see that most of your wives are here and Lydia is here as well so I might as well speak.” She looked at Arad with a thirsty glare, ”Iʼll tell you a secret about dragons and if one day you find

it useful, youʼll owe me a favor.”

Eris sighed, ”And I know what will you use that favor for.”

”Of course to sleep with him.” Lala shivered, ”But at least not now...want to hear it.”

Arad looked at Eris and the rest, and they all nodded, ”Fine, youʼve got a deal.” ”Dragons embodies the seven sins. They are wrathful, prideful, greedy, lustful, gluttonous, lazy, and envious.”

A dragon drowns in rage when offended and will wipe whole cities in a fit of anger.

The dragons think of themselves to be above all else, towering on their high peaks, looking down on other mortals and monsters alike.

The dragons collect wealth and steal from others by the right of power, and no amount of wealth can satisfy their greed.

The dragons seek multiple mates and drown themselves in slaves and sacrifices to satisfy

their primordial desires.

The dragons eat far more than they require, gorging themselves until they eliminate all life

from their land.

They sleep for years, decades, even centuries at a time, only waking up to feed and fulfill their

desires for wealth and sex.

There is nothing they hate more than another dragon getting ahead of them, surpassing them

in either wealth or power so they plot to destroy each other every waking moment of their

lives. ”Do you know what makes you different from all other dragons? Those sins donʼt apply to you. You are a far more tamed and good-natured dragon than your kind, but that would also mean that the paragons of those sins are going to direct their gazes on you.” She stood and

approached him.

With one finger, her nail touched his massive chest. ”Donʼt be naive and keep your trust in outsiders at a bare minimum. I donʼt want to see my student cry.”
