The dragon's harem

Chapter 1422: The One Wave

D lifted her staff above her head, yelled at the top of her lungs, and the magic moon behind her rumbled with magic. The vast sea behind her twitched. The waves calmed down for a moment before the moon in the sky began glowing.

Arad could see the vast amount of mana leaving D’s body and reaching into the cast sky, painting the moon red and blue. As the torrents of magic mixed into a purple haze, the sea suddenly roared, and a wave formed on the distant horizon.

With each meter traveled, the wave grew bigger and bigger until it reached the shore as a titanic, hundred-meter-tall tsunami.

[The One Wave To End It All] D screamed as she swung her staff down, throwing the whole wave at Arad and the two queens.

Cerilla and Jasmine paled as they saw the massive wave rushing toward them. Even Dalla, who always stayed calm, took a step back. She wasn’t a mage, so she had nothing to protect her from getting crushed to the ground and swept away like a stain.

”Since when did moon magic have anything to do with gravity and water?” Arad tilted his head and lifted his arms, pointing at the coming wave.

His eyes flashed blue, and he took a deep breath, ”FREEZE!”

The massive wave turned into ice in the blink of an eye, leaving D stunned. She looked at her frozen wave with a terrified face. She had recognized what kind of magic Arad used, and she didn’t want to end up facing another monster after meeting Lunara.

But, D was already too late. The frozen wave exploded into a storm of shrapnel as something tiny flew out of it at blinding speed. She tried to defend herself, but she was too slow. The tiny thing flew past her, grabbed her by the robe, and swung her around like a toy before throwing her to the sea.

D tried to orient herself after hitting the water like a rock, but the moment she opened her eyes, she could see a massive mountain of ice glaring down at her with burning blue eyes.

”A spirit queen! Where the hell were you keeping her hidden?!” D screamed, but at that moment, a massive tentacle grabbed her by the leg, wrapped around her body, and tied her. As the tentacle slowly lifted her up, she could see countless sharks flying around her with wings, all of their glowing red eyes burned with blood magic.

”Undyne, no need to hurt her.” Arad flew toward them and landed on one massive tentacle. As the kraken emerged from the water, D noticed that Arad was the one to pull all of those sea monsters. It wasn’t the spirit queen that summoned them.

She had seen many powerful wizards and witches in her life, but none of them could summon a great spirit, let alone a spirit queen. And where in the nine hells did he find those flying sharks, as far as she knew, they can’t do that.

”That was a great spell. The only problem is that you can’t challenge a water mage with it. And each kingdom has hundreds of them.” Arad smiled, and D growled back at him. ”Not everyone got a spirit queen standing at the ready to attack.”

D then glared at Undyne, ”And you! Don’t you have any pride? Why were you hiding inside him? What would the other spirit queens say?”

”Can I freeze her?” Undyne asked, and Arad shook his head. ”No need, she is trying to taunt you.”

D sighed, ”Fine, but you didn’t face me with your own magic.”

Undyne was the one who replied to D’s question. ”Of course, he doesn’t want you to die. Arad can use cold magic, but the problem is that he lacks the control and finesse. If he tried to freeze the wave, you would’ve got caught in it and turned into an ice statue.”

The talking walking glacier crumbled into pieces as the one-foot-tall fairy flew down and landed on Arad’s shoulder. Undyne looked at D, ”So? What will you do now?”

D smiled, ”You froze the first wave. What about the second one?”

Arad already noticed that D only used a quarter of her magic for the first wave, and now he saw her use everything else she had. A two-hundred-meter wave appeared behind the frozen one, rushing at Arad and Undyne.

Undyne sighed, ”Good, Garry, bring her behind us.” The Kraken heard Undyne’s order and pulled D behind Arad and Undyne.

”Now I can use my magic.” Arad exhaled and then took a massive breath. A breath so powerful that it pulled all of the heat from the coming wave, causing it to freeze solid.

That was temperature magic. He had learned it the hard way when he faced Isbert in her frozen world, and he will never forget that lesson.

After sucking all of that heat and freezing the second wave, Arad breathed all of the heat he stored into the sky as a fire breath.

The Kraken threw the wed D on the beach beside Cerilla and Jasmine as Arad and Undyne landed beside her.

”She had a nice spell. But I’d suggest tuning it more so it can’t be frozen easily.” Arad looked at the two queens and then back at D.

She coughed a mouthful of water and glared at him, ”Not everyone is as crazy as you. That first wave would’ve wiped Ruris’s capital.”

Arad shrugged, ”As you’d expect from a three-thousand-year-old Dark Elf witch that has a name with only one letter. But you won’t be facing mere humans, I’m sure the high elves would’ve had a way to deal with it. They’ve got their share of old wizards. And don’t even get me talking about dragons. That dragon I faced earlier in the mountains would’ve been able to freeze that wave with ease.”

D sat up, ”As I said, not everyone is as crazy as you are. I’m talking about myself. I came up with that spell just an hour ago when learning about the moon. I didn’t even get the chance to optimize its mana consumption or resistances. It’s basically using regular sea water, which doesn’t have any resistance to magic.”

”True. Then how long will it take you to perfect it?” Arad approached to give her a hand, but she leaned on her staff and stood on her own.

”To perfect it? A few decades, a century perhaps, before I can start spamming it.” She smiled with a proud face, and Arad frowned, ”You’ve got a week, take it or leave it.”

”Yes, yes, you’re crazy. I don’t listen to crazy people. I was using the moon’s gravity to pull on the sea and cause that massive wave. I need to study the moon’s location, shape, and gravity field for years before I can start figuring out how to best utilize it.” She waved her staff and then looked at Arad, ”Unless you’re willing to fly me all around the world.”

”Can’t you just use teleportation or flight magic?”

”I can, but it’ll be impossible for me to fly high enough without risk. If I ran out of mana, it’s a one-way fall to my death.” She smiled, ”And believe me, more wizards died trying to fly than those who died in wars. When mortals first discovered magic, flying was the first thing they tried to achieve.”
