Chapter 964: The Fifth Day of Training Starts
Arad returned with Lamy at his side, Hati was already informed so she had a room quickly prepared. Even with how small her house looks from the outside, the area inside was augmented with spatial magic allowing the beast queen to extend her hallways as much as she wanted, adding new rooms at her will.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Arad was already exhausted, the day had been long, too long. Fighting with four demon lords, then taking on Lunara's final move, surviving death by a hair strand, getting possessed by another demon lord, and finally killing two demon lords and taking their layers. He giggled as he opened his room's door, "Alcott should be in my place."
^The werewolf demon lord possessed me so I killed him and his friend since I'm a stronger werewolf...^ He smiled, "Like father like son, that might be right."
As Arad walked inside his room, he saw only Tina sitting on the couch, waiting for him. "Did something happen?" He asked. His wives should be asleep by now, both of them had a long day.
"Hati informed me, that Lass Lamina. What is she?" Tina stood and approached Arad, "A wife? A mistress, a maid, a servant, a slave? Or just a friend staying with us temporarily."
Arad blinked, "If I had to say, she's not a maid, but not a servant either. Get her as your helper, but don't exhaust her too much, despite her look, her body lacks stamina." Arad approached the wardrobe and took his vest and shirt off.
"I see...So Hati lied...that fox.." Tina sighed, sitting back on the couch.
Arad looked at her, "What did Hati say?"
"Said she's a mistress, coming in as a diplomatic tool with some powers in the abyss." Tina looked at him with a faint smile.
"Is that what she said? I want to think she's joking but..." He sighed and Tina finished his sentence. "For a woman trying to push her daughters onto you, she probably was serious. What do you think about Astrid and Frida?"
"I don't think anything. I appreciate their help, but that has nothing to do with a relationship with me." He sat on the bed and Tina sat beside him. "I'm still too young to understand long romantic relationships like that. What works for me is heavy impacts..." He looked at her, "I probably value Lunara more. She is strong, was clear with her intent, and even managed to hold me back enough when Alaric possessed me."
"I see...what about the ladies?" She looked at him with a tilted head.
"They are the ones to accept or refuse any wife. Even if I agree to a new wife, I'll still reject her if the prior wives rejected her." He lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, "It doesn't matter what Lunara, Astrid, Frida, or any other woman are or do, if my current wives said no, that means no." He looked at Tina, "I'm not angering my wives for a new wife."
"What about Nina?" She looked at him.
"Nina and Merlin already got the wives' approval." Arad yawned, he wanted to take a nap. Tina stood, "I'll leave to rest then, but I want to ask something of you later."
"What is it?" Arad looked at her with one eye.
"This isn't the time for it, I'll leave it to until we return home." She started walking toward the door.
"I see...I probably guessed it out. I don't mind, we'll tackle that later." Arad laid back and closed his eyes to sleep as Tina walked out.
Arad looked at the new scene surrounding him. "You changed the whole world?"
"I just teleported us into my domain. I'm the one who taught Hati and Betty to create small worlds." She lifted her hand. "Mine is bigger than anything they could hope to create." Wiggling her fingers, "How about we start?"
In the blink of an eye, her hands pierced Arad's chest. He coughed blood and could feel her hands around his still-beating heart.
Arad immediately swung his fist at her face, but she dodged the attack, did a flip, and swung Arad's heavy body, throwing him away as she pulled Doma by the hair out of him with her left hand, and with her right hand, she pulled a whole void dragon out of him.
Golden chains tied Doma and the dragon, putting them in separate magical spheres. Arad who rolled on the ground looked up with a cough, "What did you do?"
"I'm taking your extra powers, I don't want you to cheat." Lilia said with a sadistic grin, "I first took the witch Doma and your mother's consciences fragment." She started floating toward him, "It's simple, Merlin Labyrinth already did something like this to you before,
didn't it?"
Arad lunged at her with a clenched fist but she easily dodged his attack, plunging her hands into his chest once more, this time pulling his vampiric and lycanthropic powers. One looked like a boiling blood slime and the other was a tiny sleeping black wolf.
When Arad fell, he had nothing but the power of his human blood. His draconic might, vampiric, and curse powers have all faded away. He barely managed to stand, still bleeding
from his chest.
"You little..." Arad growled, unable to stand straight.
"I don't care if it'll take you a month, a year, or a thousand years." A long wooden staff
appeared out of nowhere. "My tower is on the other side of this world, reach it, climb its one hundred layers, and you'll find me at the top layer." She waved her foot at him as she floated away, "If you suck my toes there, I'll consider this training finished. Otherwise, you'll be stuck here for the rest of your life...and yes, you can use teleportation magic if you want."
"I'll never suck your toes! Weirdo!" Arad shouted at her, swinging his arm as he tried to fire a fireball but failed. All of his power had faded away.
"I would've been impressed if you were willing to do that. But try to at least be skilled in magic enough to impress me then..." She flew away, her laughter fading away.
That simple move of swinging his arm had opened the wound on his chest, causing him to
gasp in pain, fall to his knees, and cough a mouthful of blood. His body now is that of a human, he can't tank fatal hits like this.
Arad looked around exhausted eyes, the blood loss was already getting to him. At the end of
the hill, he could see a dirt path clinging on its side, old yet still had marks of carriages... It was just then that he realized he was standing beside a rural roadway.
