Chapter 792 Giga Horse
Arad returned to the carriage with the horses and Aella asked, "What took you so long?"
"I've met Abel on the way, nothing too important." He looked at them with a smile.
He strapped the horses and started driving the carriage toward the university, passing by Croc City.
As they passed by, the girls could see Abel waving to Arad while walking at the side of the street. "The sly bastard. I bet he's up to no good." Sena growled. Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)
She had heard from her mother that a peculiar devil have been snooping around the hells, looking for power and influence, and that he's doing pretty well at it. He laid several contracts with many people to the point he's becoming infamous for it, even among the devils, he's known for trickery and wit.
"Considering his job, yes." Eris giggled, "Both he and Jack could be reliable but always use shady methods."
"I'm not talking about that." Sena sighed. "He'll get us in trouble."

Arad managed to drop the girls by the dorm and took the horses back to Abel's brothel in the city. "Abel! I got the horses." He called from the outside.
"Good!" Abel stared at him from the window. "If you're free, can you escort sister back to the dorms? I don't trust the streets with her."
"Sara is here?!" Arad walked inside finding her sitting in the guests' room beside several boxes of potions and herbs. "Arad, it's been a while." She looked at him with a smile.
"What are you doing here?"
"Brother asked for a shipment of stamina potion, aphrodisiacs, and some medical herbs and I was making sure he got them." She smiled approaching him with slow steps.
"He asked me to escort you back to the dorms. How did you come here?" Arad looked around seeing no one.
"I've got several guards, but I'll be leaving them here if you're around." She smiled. "I'm not a fighter as you can see. I do need protection," She pulled a small bag from her pocket and showed the content to Arad, it was jam-packed full of platinum coins.
"How much is there?!"
"About two hundred coins." She said with a smile and Arad started counting on his fingers, "That's over twenty thousand gold coins! What are you selling?!" He gasped.
"The stamina potions are relatively cheap, but the aphrodisiacs and those herbs are pretty expensive." She picked one of the leaves. "Those prevent pregnancy and the aphrodisiac is the diluted Gracie's spit. Nobles would pay a pretty penny for them."
Abel walked down the stairs. "The average a girl here could make a night is around three gold coins. The best ones could pull upward of a single platinum coin a night depending on what their client wants and what extras he's buying."
He looked at the pile of goods. "Buying one herb, aphrodisiac bottle, and stamina potion would allow a client to pay for a full open night as long as the girl approves." He smiled.
"I don't care about knowing how your business works." Arad sighed. "I'll be talking Sara to the dorms. Good luck."
The boss approached them and extended his hand to grab Sara by the leg and drag her down from Arad's back.
Arad turned his neck and bites the boss's forearm, cracking the bones. As the boss screamed, all of the thugs gasped. Arad turned around without letting go of the boss's arm and swung a powerful backkick at the boss's face, ripping his arm off.
Sara gasped as she almost fell. "What was that?!" She didn't expect Arad to make such a sudden move.
The thugs stared in terror as Arad chewed the boss's arm and swallowed it.
"What's up with that horse?!" The thugs screamed as their boss lay on the ground bleeding with his lower jaw ripped off from Arad's kick.
"Kill it!" One of them shouted as he swung his sword, sending a [Wind Blade] at Arad's neck.
Arad dodged the spell and jumped forward, landing with his front legs on the thug, crushing him to the ground.
A man rushed from the back swinging a dagger at Arad's butt, trying to stab his back thighs and drop him down. He had already protected himself with a simple barrier spell so he expected to be able to tank Arad's kick.
CRACK! It wasn't a kick from Arad that smacked his face, but instead the tail.
All of the bandits charged simultaneously, some thrusting with spears and some casting spells.
Arad's tail started spinning like a propeller and smacked the thug again, sending his head flying. As blood splashed, Arad's body started lifting up, with gravity magic, but the tail kept spinning.
"What the hell is that thing?!" The mages gasped as their spells failed to harm Arad.
Arad started cackling as his eyes burned with an eldritch red flame of blood magic, a pair of massive wings burst from his sides as two black horns emerged from his head and he glared at them with a body burning with magic.
"That's a bicorn!" One of the mages cried.
"Bicorn doesn't have wings!" Another mage screamed.
"Who gives a fuck? It has two horns, if it's anything related to a unicorn then we're fucked! Run!" The mage waved his staff to cast [Fly] and escape, but Arad landed on him with a bite to the neck.
"You damned monster! How did that bitch tame you?!" One of the fighters lunged forward swinging his great sword, trying to cleave Arad's neck in two.
Arad stood on his hind legs to avoid the slash and then swung the front hooves at the fighter's face like a double hook punch.
The fighter spat blood. "What?" He quickly fixed his stance, baffled at getting punched by a damned horse.
Arad kept Sara stuck to his back with gravity magic as he started hopping back and forth, ready to throw punches. "Neigh!"
"I see..." The fighter smiled, taking a stance. "You must be a disguised druid. Just what kind of monster did she bring as a bodyguard."
