Chapter 710 Arad: The Insane Dragon

Aella stood in the kitchen when a crow landed in the window, "KWAAA! Is it ready? KWAAA!"

She turned toward him, "It's ready. Send someone to pick it up."

"Got it. KWAAA!" The crow replied.

Since Arad arrived, he's been in contact with Aella with his animals. He couldn't stop at home due to the problems in the village, and he sensed the guests waiting.

"Arad," Mira walked into the kitchen, "Who's coming to pick the tea?"

"KWAAA!" The crow flapped his wings, "They've already arrived, KWAAA!"

Several owlapes landed in the garden, over ten of them stared at the window, cackling like hyaenas.

"Monsters? Yeah, the ones living at the peak," Aella recognized them from her trip with Arad to the mountain top.

As monsters, owlapes only rank up to C-rank individually at best, and most of them are E-rank. But the fact they hunt in large groups makes them as dangerous as A-rank monsters.

"You sure we can trust them? Those things are wild," Mira looked at the crow.

"KWAAA! Don't worry. They won't risk getting eaten by me." Arad replied, "And Aella isn't someone they want to mess with either,"

As an elf attuned to forests, Aella has spent days patrolling the forest, killing rogue monsters that caused trouble and hunting for the goblins and kobolds inside the dungeon, as she didn't want them crossing roads with adventurers.

The silent killer of the forest, all monsters have learned to watch for the cold breeze, the gently whistling winds that always came before a spree of murder.

The current monsters of the forest have already started teaching their offspring about Arad and his wives. Avoid angering the black dragon, don't mess with the green-eyed elf, if you see a shade of purple, run away without looking back, don't tickle the ants, and don't follow the sweet whistles of flutes.

"They should all be giant monsters," Aella picked up a large pot filled with green tea and put it beside the window. "I hope this is enough,"

"I'm sure it isn't, but a sip is a sip. We can't send them barrels," Mira pulled several large mugs, tucked them into a bag, and tied it to the barrel.

The owlapes grabbed the barrel and flew with it, racing to the mountain's peak.

FLAP! FLAP! FLAP! The flock of owlapes flew through the Keep's windows and landed in the middle of the meeting table, one of them flying back to Arad and landing on his arm. Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

"You were quite fast this time. Did you exhaust yourselves?" He stared at the monster's eyes.

"HooT CAAA!"

"I see, Aella is a bit scary." Arad smiled, "Probably since I haven't dropped by her yet," He lifted his arm, and the owlape flew away, followed by the rest of the flock.

Arad lifted his hand, moving the barrel and mugs with his gravity magic to each of the guests, pouring tea for them.

"Elvish tea," Lucifer smelled the tea, "A good quality and made with care,"

"It's amazing how this smells," Zeus smiled, "It's been a while since I tasted elvish tea,"

"I drink it a lot, but this one is quite good." Chris took a sip.

"Hoi!" Tempo screamed, "How much poison do you intend to put in that tea?!"

Arad turned toward him with glowing purple eyes as he stirred the tea with his finger, releasing a blue smoke. "You got it wrong," Arad said.

"What?" Tempo gasped.

"I'm not putting poison in my tea. I'm putting tea in my poison to make it easier to drink," Arad's eyes flashed with a purple light as he stared down at the mug, "That's not as much smoke as it should," He lifted the jar and poured more poison in.

"Halt! You madman!" Zeus shouted.

"This is an anti-magic toxin. It attacks the magic circuit in the body, as the mages call it. Monks call them meridians." Arad lifted the mug and gave a sniff. It smells horrid and is as thick as honey.

"Want to try it?" He showed them the mug.

Everyone shook their head, "Throw that shit away,"

"Your loss," Arad gulped the mug down, blue veins spread through his body as his magic spiked and dropped rapidly. He started releasing massive waves of uncontrolled magic as the toxin ripped his meridians apart.

"The idiot might explode!" Lucifer stood with his arms extended forward, ready to form a shield.

Arad started brewing the antidote based on Aisha's instruction as his body rapidly reached a critical stage. After half a minute of everyone hiding behind Lucifer's shield awaiting for Arad to explode and blast the whole mountain to ash, he finally finished the antidote and drank it.

Arad's chaotic magic quickly stabilized as the blue veins faded from his body, "Now I'm good at this." He smiled.

"You're indeed good, I give this 9.5/10." Aisha smiled.

"Since it doesn't mess with my nerves, I can really focus when measuring ingredients." Arad lifted one of the ingredient jars and stared at the guests through it, "I almost got it perfect."

ZON! Behind Arad, Zia wearing a nun outfit appeared out of a splash of blood. "I clean this, master," She reached over the table and started collecting Arad's brewing equipment.

From Arad's back, several vampire nuns and maids walked out to clean the ground from blood and store everything that Zia collected from the table.

"I get maids, but why nuns?" Chris sighed, staring at Arad.

"They already had a maid outfit from Vlad, but I know nothing about the nun outfit, besides that I borrowed one for Zia from the capital nuns." He replied.

"Is that a reason? And where did they get the rest?"

Zia turned toward Chris, "It's because Arad told me it suits me," Zia replied with a smile, "So I thought my best chance of seducing him is using a nun's outfit,"

"That's the worst reason I've heard in my life," Chris stared at her, "And it doesn't explain them," He pointed at the other nuns.

"They are cut into two groups," She replied, "Half is like me, and the other half are people that were pulled out of Vlad's blood and didn't want to pass on,"

"They are some of the human sacrifices that Vlad had. They either didn't want to pass on and die, or couldn't due to lingering regret and ended up being born anew as vampires." Arad was the one to explain.

One of the nuns approached, "I was a nun for Amaterasu before, but my prayers don't reach her now." She said looking at Arad, "Abandoned by life and the gods, I've only got one person to pray to,"

"You aren't running for demi-god status, are you?" Zeus gasped.

"What's that even? I'm not, they are just fooling around," Arad replied, "And Eris acts as a mediator between them and Amaterasu, I don't know how they mixed me in the middle,"
