Chapter 1028: Can't Hide From Me Now
"Can you guess why?" Mira glared at them, dangling her hammer. "Two women, a mother and a daughter no less come here seeking my husband. It shouldn't be hard to guess." The hammer stopped, crackling with divine magic.
Gamond smiled, "And you aren't that good at deceiving others. Even if you nailed the expressions and voice, you'll never nail the smell. You're annoyed but not angry, in fact, I can sense that you're happy about something."
It wasn't easy to trick a dragon's mind, one would at least need years of experience and training to get past their senses, let alone someone as sharp as Gamond.
Mary sighed, "Who am I to think I can deceive two powerful dragons..." She looked at them with a sharp glare, "I'm indeed annoyed since you two came out of nowhere. To me, there are far more women that I expected him to bring."
"Like what?" Gamond could smell that Mira might not be as hard to convince as she initially thought. But even so, "Another demi-goddess like you?"
"So you can tell by just looking at me?"
Seeing those two speak, Kory felt like a little kitten stuck between two tigers. Her mother's powerful aura and Mira's divine soul collide as if the two were about to start fighting. But only one thing was clear, Mira was nowhere near Gamond's level, in fact, she was barely stronger than an average human. What was scary about Mira was that Arad was her husband, and he was capable of more violence than anyone could ever imagine.
"Of course, I can tell. You aren't even trying to hide it. But I'll let you know, what little divine magic you have isn't enough to intimidate me." Gamond put one leg on another a looked at Mira with a smile.
Mira giggled, "My husband is enough to intimidate you."
"That's why I want a piece of him. But I also don't intend to act outside my boundaries. You don't need intimidation to gain my respect."
"Then let's cut straight to it. If you want me to accept you both, then I want your blood and scales." Mira glared at them, pointing toward a large blade that was on the table.
"You want to kill us!" Kory cried but Gamond smacked her on the head, "Of course not." She quickly shifted her gaze to Mira, "Is that all you want?"
"I can't fight so this is the only way I can be of use to Arad. If you aren't going to help him then I don't want to see you anywhere near him." Mira stood and Gamond did so after her. "We'll gladly help you as many times as you like."
"Then we can start right away. You'll have to wait for the others to arrive anyway."

Arad was on his way back to the university to pick up Aella and the others. As soon as he got in range he shifted back into his humanoid form and teleported straight into the university's hallways. The moment he landed inside he found Betty standing before him, "I almost didn't recognize your magic."
Betty had sensed a vast amount of magic suddenly appearing in the middle of the university and came to kill it. Luckily she is so fast that she had enough time to recognize that it was just Arad.
"I've been training for a while now. I came to pick up Aella and the rest, I need them for a while." Arad replied as he sensed the whole university and detected where all of his wives were, at the same time he detected something else. Two draconic signals crept beneath the ground toward Zul's layer.
"Training? I doubt even you can grow this much in just a week." Betty looked at him with a smile, "Who taught you?"
"Myself, but it was Lilia who gave me time."
"That's my question. I just realized you were first pretending to be that teacher Sylvany and after the mother-spider incident, you came in as a new teacher. Don't think I missed figuring out that the mother spider is alive and sneaking around me as Anansi." "Wait!" Maria cried, "We don't intend you or your wives any harm, please reconsider!"
Anansi fell beside Maria, tied with ropes. "I've already captured her, now either tell me what you want, or I'll make sure both of you are really dead."
When Arad returned to Hati's house with his new and empowered magic the first thing his senses picked up was an old enemy, the mother spider that bullied Aella in the underground dungeon. He was quite disappointed in himself to discover that she was disguised as Anansi right under his nose without him noticing so he ordered Lucia to capture her immediately.
"That bitch Lucia! She's a vampire." Anansi growled, "This monster had turned her." Arad shifted into his draconic form above them, glaring down at them with a body burning with magic. Undine and Salamander flew out of his body and started flying around the two women, "Our lord found his meal. Shall we boil them?" Undine said with a smile. "Roasted is better. Smoked is even better." Salamander giggled and the two women started shaking in terror, none of them could mistake the identity of such powerful spirits, it was clear from a glance that they were on the level of queens.
"I beg of you! We really didn't intend to harm anyone. We would've done so long ago if were meaning harm." When Maria started begging Arad sighed and shifted back into his humanoid
form.
"Fine, but I'll make sure you won't even have the luxury of going to hell if you harmed any of my wives." He then released the two of them but neither of them dared even run or move.
"Anansi, stay here and wait. I'll go with Maria to bring Aella." Arad teleported away with Maria and Anansi remained alone, looking around her. ^I could run away now. With my spider body, I should be able to cross the mountain range and hide in seconds...no, I'll wait for him, running away would only get me killed.^
She sat mumbling, ^How did he change so much in a few hours?^
When Arad appeared again behind Aella she had already taken the deer out. Ganta noticed that Maria was sweating buckets, had a bright red face, and was panting heavily. She immediately
pulled Aella back, "Excuse us for a second."
"What?" Aella growled at her.
"Don't 'What' me, just look at her. They did something! Aron is too strong to show signs of
exhaustion but teacher Maria isn't. I told you!" Ganta tried to whisper as silently as she could but even with that it was clear that she wanted to scream.
Aella giggled, "Ah, please...you look like a barbarian with those massive horns on your head
yet you still act like a worried love fairy." Aella patted Ganta's shoulder, "I can assure you he
didn't cheat on me, I know him far too well." She looked at Arad. "He can hear us now as
well."
Ganta looked at Arad and he nodded. Her face immediately paled, "We're ten meters away..." "Still can hear us." Aella approached him. "Don't mind Ganta's comments, what did you
want." "Let's go." Arad took Aella back to where they left Anansi and explained everything to her. With Aella confirming that Maria was nothing but a helping hand to her in the past weeks, Arad decided to give the two a chance.
Anansi willingly walked back into Arad's stomach so he could take her back with him to the beast village where the other students were. He then returned Maria to the students. Ganta asked Aella again if she was okay and Aella confirmed that she got more than an explanation from Arad. After which Arad flew with Aella to find Merida as she seemed to be fighting a powerful monster.
