The dragon's harem

Chapter 869: Death Jaw



The blue dragon surged with lightning, flashing in a brilliant light as he tried to shake Arad off from the back of his neck. "Get off my back!" He roared.

Arad's clenched fist dropped at the dragon's head with a blast, dropping him to the ground with a single hit. The dragon fell behind the forest, his head spinning and throbbing in pain.

"I'll not fault you for trying to hunt an expensive-looking caravan. Don't get in our way again." Arad jumped from his back and started walking away.

"Wait...that magic, I knew I recognized it. You're the god eater Uranus." The dragon growled.

Arad stopped, "I didn't eat a god... I bit his face off." He replied as he looked back at the dragon, a wave of magic rushing from his back.

"That's the same thing." The blue dragon stood, "I didn't know that you were in that caravan. I didn't sense any magic."

"I'm currently playing with my daughters so... I'm keeping my magic and power as low as they go." He smiled, "This one standing before you is a clone with a tenth of my power."

Arad's real body was back in the carriage playing with Serin and Ignis, all that mattered to him was keeping this trip safe for them.

The blue dragon flew away and Arad's clone kept flying around, looking for any potential danger to eliminate. All the while Arad himself transformed into a chunky black rat, dancing on the table with Serin dying with laughter.

^{You remind me of Zephyr.}^ Doma giggled, ^{Seeing you like this, it's like her dancing while drunk seems to be the same. You don't look at all that powerful.}^

Matilda stared at Arad, drooling. Seeing a fat and soft-looking rat dancing on the table made her hungry, he looked like the perfect snack.

With a single hip move, he shifted into a black squirrel and jumped over Ignis and Serin, gliding above their heads. Serin tried to catch him and Ignis lunged in with a bite. Arad easily dodged Serin's hands and Ignis's bite, gliding over her back.

Merlin looked out of the window, "We reached the first turn, Aron." She looked at Arad.

Arad stopped, landing on Serin's head, and stared at Merlin, "Do not worry about me. I've already finished." He said.

Matilda and Selina stared at him, it was strange to hear such a deep voice coming from a squirrel.

Merlin nodded, and waved her hand, "Proceed as planned." She sent a message to all drivers. After a few seconds they reached a large mirror set in the road, Merlin had told them about it. All they knew was that it was her magic and would help them get to the beast kingdom safely, and so they rode through them without looking into it.

Zara stopped the moment they walked through the mirrors and gasped, "My god...we're really here...it took me months." He couldn't believe his eyes, they were already in the beast kingdom. He could tell from the massive trees and humid air, that this place smelled like home.

Arad's carriage stopped and he walked out with Matilda, "So this is the beast kingdom." Arad looked around with a smile.

Matilda looked just as surprised as her father, "Not even three hours had passed. How in the hell did we get here?" She gasped.

"It's the great wizard Merlin's magic." One of the drivers said with a large smile on his face, "We went through a large glowing mirror and appeared here, simply stunning."

Zara nodded, "It's amazing, I didn't think I would see my homeland this quick. But...since we're here...please be careful and follow my every word." He growled.

Matilda stared at Arad, "As much as I hate to say it, Father is right. This place is filled with vicious and wild predators and monsters, unlike anything you've ever seen." She pointed at the tree, massive claw marks were left on it.

"Look there..." Zara pointed at a massive claw print on the ground, it wasn't as large as those of dragons, but still bigger than ordinary monsters.

"This is the wild jungle of northern death land giant of the lizards." He looked at Arad, "Don't ignite a fire, don't make any loud noises, and don't cast any flashy magic, you'll only attract their attention."

"Let's hope we didn't..." When Matilda was about to speak, the trees behind her rustled. Zara started sweating as he slowly reached for his sword. She knew better than anyone, she shouldn't look back. "Death Jaw...run when I give the signal." Zara whispered as the massive jaw appeared from the trees behind Matilda, a T-rex.

"It's one of those!" Arad said with a smile, stepping past Matilda and tapping her shoulder, "Dinner." He did see one on the island where he took Isdis before but never saw them again. He always wanted to taste them, but didn't get the chance.

The drivers, Zara, and even Matilda couldn't believe their ears, Arad wasn't scared of such a monster but instead sounded happy as he took his shirt off.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The T-rex rushed forward and opened his jaw, biting Arad's torso and pushing him all the way to the giant trees. "You fool!" Zara growled and tried to attack the T-rex, but the beast's tail almost smacked him down.

"Aron!" Matilda shouted, but almost immediately noticed something as the T-rex started hitting his head on the ground, he wasn't able to close his jaw. Arad was standing there, holding the T-rex's jaw open with his legs and one hand.

"Can't you breathe anything like fire or lightning?" Arad asked with a smile, "How disappointing, but still, I wonder how you taste." He clenched a fist and punched the T-rex in the face, sending him rolling to the side.

For the first time in his life, the T-rex felt pain and fear, it turned aside to run away, but Arad caught him by the tail. "Why are you running?" Arad pulled the T-rex like a doll and threw him back at the trees like a rice bag.

The T-rex growled, most of its bones had cracked beneath its own weight and the impact. When Arad walked past Matilda again, she stared at him with a puzzled face. He carried no weapons and didn't cast any magic, with his raw strength alone, he was toying with the death

jaw.

The T-rex tried to stand, but Arad jumped forth and hugged his neck, crushing it in his embrace. The T-rex wheezed as he choked to death, falling on the ground motionless. It was only then that Arad pulled a sword and slit its throat to draw the blood. Using a massive steel chain, he hanged it to two trees with a single jump.

"Mira!" Arad waved his hand at the carriage, "I caught us dinner, do you know how could we cook this? Can I eat it raw?"

Mira looked out of the carriage's door and gasped, "Oh my... that's a big one." She walked out and looked at it, "I can't cut it. Do you mind doing that?" She pointed at the tail and thighs.

"It looks like a chicken so the tights might be good, but the tail looks like it'll have a lot of meat, try the upper part as it should be tender if it isn't doing a lot of work." Arad nodded with a smile, "Got it."

"Wait! Wait!" Zara gasped, "You're just going to start cooking it?" He looked at Arad, "It's rarely that you hear of the death jaw being hunted, and even then, it'll be an expensive delicacy. People die to hunt it."

"Are you sure?" Arad tilted his head, "I didn't feel like it was particularly strong." He looked at the T-rex, "It's massive, yes...but nothing after that."

"This is a scaly death jaw, they are immune to magic, their growl can paralyze people, and their fangs are coated in deadly poison." Zara gasped, "Let alone their massive size and

strength."

"Really?" Arad looked at his arms, the T-rex couldn't injure him so the poison didn't affect him, and the paralyzing effect also didn't seem to bother him. "Well, it's dead so let's eat."

Zara remembered how the blue dragon ran away immediately the moment Arad walked out of the carriage, that doesn't seem to be a coincidence. Dragons are prideful creatures, running away is something they should do... "Who are you?" He glared at Arad.

"I'm me..." Arad smiled as he sliced the T-rex into three parts, the head, the torso, and the massive tail. Students slowly walked out of the carriages, and Lucia gasped. "A Scaled Death Jaw!" She looked at Zara, "I didn't know you could hunt such a monster!"

Zara pointed at Arad, "It was him, who is this freak you're teaching?"

Lucia turned to look at Arad, remembering how fast he was and how he fought in the entrance exam. "Ah...I see..." She clapped her hands, "Everyone, get ready to harvest the poison." She

smiled.

"You're ignoring the situation?!" Zara sighed, he could clearly see that even Lucia didn't understand how strong Arad was and that she had given up on trying to understand.
