The dragon's harem

Chapter 1035: For This Eternal Land

As the whole immune system panicked and rushed toward the fundamentum Arad was forced to rush and stop them before they could start causing damage. ”Calm down a bit and listen!” He yelled at them and everyone looked at him, confused.

Akasha who was inside Aradʼs head spoke, ^This level of blood control is far above what any vampire can dream of. We can use them to help us clean up.^

”Everyone! Line up and separate into identical groups!” Arad looked at the army of blood cells, ”Who of you can close wounds?”

The platelets flew out and he smiled, ”Good! You focus on closing the veins if we had to cut one.”

”The rest of you! Iʼll do the killing and youʼll clean after me! Donʼt attack anything, now all to work!” Arad started killing the mutated cells one after another as he tried to make a clean cut right at the edge where the good cells started.

The white blood cells and the killer T cells started cleaning after Arad, swallowing all of the dead mutated cells that he killed. After a whole hour of work, Arad had finally managed to cleanly cut the mutated cells from Zulʼs fundamentum and absorbed it into his stomach.

”All the veins are locked, nothing is leaking out, but Iʼm sure this is a big wound.” He looked at the blood cells with a smile, ”Go back to the veins. Iʼll let this heal back up.”

Arad flew a bit away as the blood all rushed back to the veins. He then allowed the healing magic to seep through his expansion and touch the fundamentum. ”Now to see if healing magic is useful here.”

He was afraid that healing magic would just regenerate the mutated cells but he immediately was relieved to discover that it wasnʼt the case. Healing magic regenerated the fundamentum into a healthy state.

He then quickly shrunk back and flew into the veins where he called the killer T cells again. They quickly responded and he had a simple order for them. ”For the next week or two keep up the watch at all times. Make sure to check every part of the body for any mutated cells that mightʼve escaped. Kill them all, donʼt let anything get past you ever again.”

He looked at them, ”This body is called Zul, she is your homeland. You were born and raised here, this is the place where youʼve grown and lived all of your lives. If she falls you fall too, so for your lives to remain undisturbed.”

”Weʼll give up our cores to safeguard her!” They all shouted back.

”For your future, for the next generationʼs future, give up your cores for Zul!” Arad shouted at them and all of the killer T cells scattered all over the body to track and find any mutated cell or disease.

Arad directly teleported out of Zulʼs body and went back to his normal size, looking at the nuns with a smile, ”Itʼs done! She should be fine when she wakes up.”

From that day onward Zul never got sick or poisoned. When she fought vampires who attempted to control her blood those vampires were hit with a painful backlash akin to what they get when attempting to control multiple people at once. Aradʼs pricolici blood control had left its mark on Zulʼs blood, giving it a faint hint of sentience.

”Letʼs head back.” Arad shrunk Zul back to the size of a cat and walked with her through Hatiʼs portal back to Hatiʼs house. The moment he got out Hati was there waiting for him.

”Arad, let the girls take care of her. Iʼve got a quick errand for you.” She looked at him with a smile. One of her daughters accompanied the girls as Hati took Arad to speak with him at the corner of the backyard.

Eris looked at Hatiʼs daughter, ”What does she want from Arad?”

”She called him away so you and the other wives could have a peaceful discussion about Gamond and her daughter. Mira and Isdis were already talking with the others.” The daughter replied, ”Merlin seems to not mind unless they come after her.”

”Yeah, I already expected such a thing.” Eris sighed, ”But that woman looked a bit serious.” She could smell it, Hati had something big for Arad to take care of.

”Youʼve just met Mother yet youʼre able to read her face. Youʼre good,” The daughter looked at her with a smile, ”I myself donʼt know much, but I bet itʼs related to motherʼs aura getting weaker.”

”Is she sick?”

”No, itʼs just that your husband fought one powerful demon queen and the two ended up blowing up a whole continent there. Mother spent a lot of energy to fix their mess and she seems to not have yet fully recovered.” The daughter looked at Eris, ”You might want to discuss that demon woman as well.”

Back at the corner of the backyard, Hati pointed at the mountains in the distance. ”A few guests are coming from that direction. I wouldʼve loved to send Kayden, but he is busy now.”

”Guests?” Arad lifted an eyebrow, ”What kind of guests?”

”Rude and opportunistic ones. Iʼll leave dealing with them for you, however, you see fit.” She turned and walked away.

Arad looked at the mountain for a second with a worried face, ”Guests? This might be a pain.”

He teleported into the air and flew to the mountains.

At the mountain peak, Arad could see a small wooden shed surrounded by a wooden fence and several goats grazing around it. The little house was probably just big enough to fit two

rooms.

A short old goat man sat alone on a table in the garden, waiting as an old woman, his wife walked out of the house with a small jug and a few loaves of bread. The two seemed to be living in peace, nothing seemed to bother them on this beautiful sunny day.

When Arad looked behind the mountain he could see a massive army approaching, over twenty thousand soldiers marching toward the mountains. ”An invading force?”

Arad flew down and landed in front of the houseʼs wooden fence. ”You two must leave. Iʼll send you away.” He jumped over the fence and the old couple looked at him.

”Are you lost, young one...” The old man looked at him with a smile, at his age he could barely see anything outside the fence.

”Oh my god...youʼre huge!” The old woman gasped, approaching Arad, ”Do you want some milk? The bread is fresh, Iʼve just baked it this morning.”

”No, I donʼt need to eat. This place isnʼt safe, Iʼll get you down to the city.” Arad shook his head and the old woman stared back at him, confused as she didnʼt hear him well.

”The milk is safe, I boiled it. Goat milk is good for your bones.” She grabbed him by the hand and dragged him toward the table.

”Iʼll get a chair.” The old man barely stood and tapped his aching back as he walked toward the house to pick a chair for Arad.

”Youʼre big, you must eat a lot.” She sat Arad on the table and poured him a large mug of milk, ”Dear, get another cup!” She shouted and started coughing from exerting her throat.

”What...” Arad could hear the old man call back from inside the house but the old lady didnʼt seem to hear him.

Arad stood and patted the old woman on the head, ”Rest well grandma. Iʼll be back soon.” As he walked toward the gate she looked at him, ”The toilet is inside the house.”

Arad walked to the edge of the mountain and stared down at the approaching army, his eyes

burning purple.

The whole army stopped as their mage cried, ”Everyone! Stop, something isnʼt right.” He rushed to the frontlines and cast a scrying spell, immediately picking Aradʼs image. ”I know it, someone is watching us.” He showed the image to the armyʼs leading general. ”This man is huge, but what is a human doing here? The beast lands are behind the

mountain.”

”I donʼt know, but my scrying magic picked him up as a danger.” The wizard looked scared, ”S-class danger.”

The general looked shocked for a moment. ”S-class? Are you sure?” This army belonged to the southern united kingdoms of Grimence, a massive empire that was created after six kingdoms united together under a single emperor.

For centuries the united kingdoms of Grimence envied the beast landsʼ untapped wealth. Those massive lands were rich in both vegetation and minerals yet the simple beast people never exploited such resources. Hati had received several invitations to join the empire, requests for her to allow them to mine in her land, and even trade deals but she refused all of

them.

The beast lands is an eternal blessed land, its people never starve nor suffer. They wake up in the morning and walk across the lands, hunt their food, and bring it back home. If one wanted to live out of the forestʼs bounty without the need for money, they could.

The beast lands are an open sanctuary for primal life without any economy or complicated laws. Hundreds of separated clans and tribes lived in harmony trading with each other and paying respect to each other, all under the watchful eye of their eternal queen.

”Get out of the way. Youʼre outside and we mean you no harm.” The general used a sound- amplifying orb to call Arad. Based on what the wizard said, Arad was an S-class threat, theyʼd suffer damages if they fought him.

The general would rather convince Arad to get out of their way or buy him up with money than immediately start a fight. ”Youʼre an adventurer, arenʼt you? I have a lucrative contract for you, care to discuss it?”

”For money, you dare trample on this landʼs peace.” Aradʼs voice clapped like thunder,

sending a shock across the soldierʼs minds. ^Heʼs that loud?^ Almost all of them thought.

Arad jumped from the mountain and fell down on a massive hill at its base, staring at the army blotting the horizon. ”Scram, for there is no place for you in this eternal land.” Arad then jumped down to face the general.

The two stood almost a hundred meters apart and the general lifted his halberd and sighed,

”Arrogant fool.”

But the moment Arad took a single step, the generalʼs horse panicked, threw him off, and ran

away in terror.
