Chapter 582 Blood Bath
"HAAAAAAAAAA!" The succubus screamed her lungs out, fire blazing from her claws as she swung at Arad's chest. The fireball in her palm exploded with a magnificent glow, rising to the sky in a pillar of fire.
She backed away, panting, "Did I get him?"
The smoke cleared, and Arad stood there, unscathed, "Too weak," He said, "You make me sad," Lifting his hands, he looked at her crying. "What a disappointment. Get out of my land."
"Heh?" She gasped, but Arad instantly blitzed her with a punch to the face, sending her head flying across the layer.
The other stared in shock. Even such a hit couldn't scratch Arad's scales.
"I said to come at me with all you got," He stared around, taking a stance, "Too much fake ones, too much deception and weakness hidden behind masks of beauty." His eyes burned with a purple flame, "You don't deserve a fair chance. Eris proved herself in a straight fight, and so you should."
The succubi turned to run, screaming as he lunged at them, ripping and tearing through them like they were nothing.
"Fakes, fakes," He said, "How shameless. Don't assume strength that you don't have."You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin
"Someone! Stop the seduction spell!" A succubus screamed as Arad ripped her body in half.
"We can't! We sacrificed control for potency. This spell won't end!" Another cried.
****
Doma laughed her guts out inside Arad, tearing up as she stared out at the succubus dying one after the other. ^[Fools, what fools. What kind of idiots seduces a dragon before getting its respect? That's a recipe for disaster.]^
[The tales of bards seducing dragons are a bit misleading. Those always happen after an arduous battle where the bard and his party managed to at least give the dragon some trouble.]
"You lots! Back away and leave him to me." A succubus shouted, expanding her massive golden wings.
The other looked at her, "The queen!"
She took a step toward Arad, "I'm the queen of this colony. I won't allow you to kill more of my children."
"A queen?" Arad glared at her, tilting his head to the side. "Where are we now?"
"My colony," She replied.
Arad glared at her with a sad, crying face with tears dripping across his cheek, "Deceit wasn't enough. You now claim rulership on my land. You hurt my feelings,"
Arad growled, flapping his wings to blow the gas away.
From the cloud, the swordsman ran behind Arad and jumped on his tail, strapping himself there with a climbing kit.
Arad turned, trying to bite the swordsman off, but the warrior rushed in with his shield, bashing him in the legs. "Don't even try,"
PEW! An arrow flew out of nowhere, piercing Arad's eyes then exploded with a burst of lightning. His head felt numb as his neck grew weaker.
Thud! Thud! The tiger ran toward Arad, leaping for a neck bite.
"Give up! Give up!" Ann laughed, "Those are professional dragon hunters created by your beloved Merlin. They look mundane, but their speed, strength, and durability are comparable to s-ranks." She pointed her staff at him, "All of their attacks are toxic to dragons. Merlin had made them to help Alcott after all. They were supposed to do his work of hunting dragons when he needed rest."
Arad started flapping his wings to fly.
The ranger ran around Arad and fired an arrow with a rope attached to it toward Arad's wing, piercing it and going toward the other wing to get stuck.
The ranger then gave his end of the rope to the warrior to run around and tie Arad's wings together, preventing him from flight.
"Those ropes are made from brown dragons' tanned leather. They are enchanted as well for durability, so you won't snap them no matter how hard you try," She giggled.
Arad felt his draconic power quickly fading again.
"Ah, forget something," She smiled, "They seal dragons' power as well, like those," She pulled a pair of dragon cuffs from her magic pocket.
Arad looked down, opening his mouth as wide as he could.
BLUGH! He started puking a flood of blood, scaring everyone there.
"What's he's doing?" The warrior jumped back. "My tackle couldn't have caused this much damage,"
"Neither my poison," The ranger shouted, "Tigris as well. We would have seen blood if he cut the jugulars, but those are protected in all dragons."
"I'm trying to cut his tail. I didn't do anything," The swordsman replied as he hacked down.
"Don't look at me," Ann shouted, "I don't have any spell to cause that much damage,"
The flood of blood coming out of Arad's mouth increased to a horrifying degree.
