The dragon's harem

Chapter 812 Hitting Puberty

Chapter 812 Hitting Puberty

?Betty stood and waved her hands, trying to trace Vorvadoss's magic and locate him and Flatail, but she couldn't comprehend the multi-layered eldritch magic with a normal mind. It required several parallel casts and incantations that can't be comprehended by a mortal brain.

DRIP! She stopped, looking back with Tempo and the devil lord as they heard something dripping, only to see Arad's massive draconic body[The clone's] on the ground, his head peeking into the cavern through a large hole. He was only a tiny bit away from reaching this place when he died.

The blood drizzled down from his teeth, slowly making its way toward Arad's corpse beside them due to the cavern's uneven ground.

Kayden was still sitting in place, looking forward with a passive face as if nothing happened.

Inside Arad, he and Shi faced each looking at the blood droplet in her hands as they slowly disintegrated. This was the end, nothing more left to do, and his body had burned through everything he could.

TAP! At that moment, a strange man walked into the black room.

A seven-foot-tall hunk of a man with oak-like skin and a jacked body, the gentle smile he had decorated his face alongside his thin beards and coal black hair, and his honey-like eyes shimmered with light, glowing like gems.

"Arad Orion, where do you think we are now?" He said with a smile, pointing with a finger toward the shattered crystal in the middle of the room. "What is that thing? If we're inside your soul, then what could that be?"

Arad and Shi looked back, and the man walked past them, picked up the crystal, and put the two halves together.

"This room, this nothing, the empty void is your soul. Nothing is you, and you're nothing. You've never been, never were, and never will. Always been, and always will." He approached Shi and handed her the crystal. "Be a good woman and keep those pressed together. It's Arad's human soul, His wife Doma is doing her best to stitch it together, and she only needs time."

His gaze shifted to Arad. "Dad of the day, it must've been hard, fighting an unfair fight against that monster." He smiled and clenched a fist.

"But don't worry; you died protecting that woman Betty. She should've noticed the attack, but what could we do, things happen in life and it's our job to deal with them and make things right." He smacked his chest, "Do you hear it? My heart is still beating, after thousands of years. What's up with yours? I can't hear it," He punched Arad in the chest, "Come with me." He gently grabbed him by the shoulder and walked him out of the room.

Shi gazed at them, but the man pointed at the middle of the room. "As I said, be a good woman and keep Arad's human soul pressed together. I'll take care of him."

As the two walked out, they found themselves standing in pure darkness, and an endless void filled with nothing. "This is your inner world, your soul. The place we were in earlier is the safe room, where you keep the important things. That is why your human soul was there, that is why Shi is there. Only important things stay there, based on you of course."

Arad didn't show any sign of response, he looked to be in a trance, walking asleep.

"Are you Arad the dragon, or Arad the human? No, you're neither, Arad Orion." The man waved his hand in the darkness with a smile.

Outside, Arad's human body melted into the dragon's blood, disappearing completely before everyone's eyes.

Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump...

Tempo looked back, hearing a faint heartbeat sound coming from Arad and the devil at his side froze. "Impossible." The devil growled.

Betty started sweating as she saw Arad's magic shift from purple to black, the light itself started twisting and turning around his body so that she could see the stones that should be hiding behind him.

Inside Arad's soul, he shifted from a humanoid shape into his draconic form. The man standing behind him started floating away. "Seek me later if you manage to remember seeing me here. Chad is the name." He faded into golden mist, and Arad slowly floated out of his soul into his stomach.

Mom and the vampire army sat surrounding Doma who was trying her best to stitch Arad's soul, but suddenly one of them looked up, his mouth gaping. ^Hoi! Look up!^

Doma looked up, and her eyes opened wide, ^Arad?^

No pregnant Mira to feed with mana, no Zul to concentrate on healing, and no clone using up his magic.

In the cavern beside Betty and the rest, Arad's purple eyes started spazzing everywhere before turning back, the white of his eyes turned black and that quickly spread across his whole scales until his whole draconic body resembled a starless night.

VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! His heart rumbled like an engine, and that was a signal for everyone to run. In the blink of an eye, the sun's warm light fell from the sky, and it was just then that Betty realized, everything in a 40km radius had disappeared, Croc city was only 1km away from being wiped out.

The beavers in their city and above the ground found themselves falling into a hole, all of their houses and civilization consumed by Arad.

"I'll take the fall!" Tempo shouted as he transformed into his true form in a burst of fire and lightning, he stood almost 7km tall and landed on the bottom of the hole first and opened his arms.

Betty waved her hands, [Spider web] using the last bit of her magic, she did her best to form the largest [Spider web] spell she had ever cast and managed to form it around Tempo's extended arms.

"Catch the rest!" She shouted at the devil and he flew to rescue the beavers and any stand-by who was around the area when Arad woke up.

Betty fell on the net and looked up, Arad was floating in the middle of the hole roaring like a monster, and suddenly a violent gust of wind started rushing toward him. "He's absorbing air." Tempo said with a stern face.

The beavers stared at Tempo's face in horror, this was the first time they ever saw a titan. They are really titanic in size.

Arad's body had been engulfed in his void and started absorbing anything within his range, air, and ground alike. But as he was barely awake, the will of the void was still far too weak. An unanimated matter like dirt, stones, and air would get sucked easily into his stomach, but a living being can resist it just by being alive, and that is why no living being got sucked into his stomach.

Arad's roar grew louder and louder until the devil was forced to cast a silence barrier around everyone to protect them. "Is this the monster that trashed Dis?" He growled.

Even though Arad looked like a fly to Tempo, he still could feel it, the immense magic passing through Arad's body. "He doesn't have as much magic as me, but he's going through several times my full reserves in a second by using mana recycling."

"He's casting a spell?" Betty gasped, "Just what kind?"

"I can't tell. I'm not an expert in magic."

ZON! Gojo appeared beside Betty, "That's teleportation magic." He waved his hand and covered everyone in his barrier. "Devil, come here and take cover. Even the city is facing strong winds."

Everyone in Croc City and the university started hiding as the winds gushing toward Arad's hole were as strong as a typhoon, ripping trees from their roots and causing mass mayhem.

"Teleportation? Where is he going?" She looked at Gojo with a worried face.

"I don't know. But I know what thing, he's going through it." He smiled, "We are dragons, no matter how we live or how we believe ourselves to be. We aren't humans, we aren't humanoids. Getting slapped with that reality is like going through puberty to us, I can't feel his human soul, so that must've died."

"What does that mean?"

Gojo scratched his chin, "We void dragons have two souls, one from our draconic parent and the second from our humanoid parent. In my and Arad's case, we have a draconic soul that came from our mother and a human soul that came from our fathers. There is always a moment in our lives when we realize those two exist and that they are different. That's also why we eat souls to cultivate age. We're creatures attuned to the void and our souls far better than anything else."

ZON! Arad suddenly disappeared and silence fell. "He disappeared! Did his spell work?"

"I don't know." Gojo shook his head, "But whoever he's chasing is going to die. There is a saying I found in an old book that says. Being targeted by two gods is far safer than having a dragon hunting you."

Vorvadoss lifted Flatail by the neck as the meteors were about to hit the ground, "Here you die. Accursed beaver, I'll make sure your kind suffers the worst for imprisoning me for all those years."

Suddenly, a large claw emerged between them and slashed Vorvadoss's arm, the massive palm that followed snatched Flatail away.

The meteor hit the ground and hell was set loose. A blazing inferno filled the infinite land as Vorvadoss flew away. "What was that?" He gasped and swung his arm with enough strength to send a shockwave that blasted all the dust and fire away. To his surprise, nothing was there.

He landed back on the ground looking around the destruction. "What was that? Did the meteors kill it? That must be it, evaporated upon impact." A faint shake of red-tinted his face; there was no sun in the outer space so he looked up, "What's that?"

He saw a large red meteor falling directly toward him.

Vorvadoss flew away and barely dodged the impact and explosion while covering his face from the flames. "A spell? Where are you hiding, caster!" He yelled, but it didn't take him long to find the caster.

That was no spell; Arad himself fell from the void. He had seen Vorvadoss when he teleported everyone into the outer void so he copied that spell which Betty couldn't handle due to her humanoid limitations, but even with his brain he made some miscalculations and ended up in the middle of the crust. That is why he dug upward and snatched Flatail into his stomach, flying into the sky at the same time to avoid the meteor shower.

And when all the dust settled, he fell from the void like a meteor himself, aiming for Vorvadoss.

Vorvadoss found himself now standing before Arad's draconic form. A massive dragon that resembled the night sky in color, a pitch black shade with several specs of white light on his body like stars. But unlike most dragons, Arad had four wings, two front arms, two hind legs, and two tails. He was already in his vampiric Wyrmwolf form but completely engulfed in the void, he never got into this form since he was a wyrmling.

"The dragon from earlier? How are you still alive? I cleaved your soul!" Vorvadoss gasped; baffled at the fact Arad was standing there before him. He looked nothing like before but could recognize the magic.
