The dragon's harem

Chapter 994: In My Father's Footsteps

chapter 994: in my father's footsteps



gamond walked to the balcony and lifted the spear, swinging her arm back with a large smile on her face. the muscles on her arms and legs expanded as she got ready to throw it, and with a powerful swing, she sent it flying across the sky.

arad lay on his bed, reading his book. he was told that a carriage would take a bit more time to be ready so he's spending his time learning about the world's geography and cities. it appears that maps are considered military secrets and getting them is nearly impossible for anyone who isn't a high-ranking official.

luckily, he got that high-ranking official sitting right now inside his room, sharpening her sword. if mesharra wasn't with him he couldn't have gotten this book without needing to steal it, or at least appease that woman working in the vault.

but what shocked arad more was how everyone reacted to mesharra showing up, especially women, they swarmed her like flies. she was some sort of idol to them, a symbol of power and dominance. while most of them dreamt of traveling the world and exploring exotic locations, they feared the dangers of bandits and monsters on the road. mesharra was the one living their fantasy, powerful enough to travel the world, and with her rank of an inquisitor, she was able to go into places that even the bravest of hunters feared.

"arad..." mary walked into the room with a silver platter filled with sweets and tea, "i brought you something to eat."

arad sat up, "thank..." he froze, sensing something strange in the air. his eyes jolted toward the ceiling and his hips rocked back as fast as they could. the ceiling cracked as a projectile flew in, barely missing arad's jewels by a hair strand.

mary dropped the platter and fell on her butt, terrified. "what was that!"

"an attack?!" echidna who was fast asleep bolted back up, conjuring a cursed chair from her feet. she immediately dismissed it, realizing that mesharra had spotted her.

mesharra silently held her sword up, awaiting a second attack, but it didn't come. after confirming they were somewhat safe, her gaze shifted toward echidna. "aren't you chained up with anti-magic chains? how could you cast that curse earlier?"

"what are you talking about?" echidna pretended she didn't know better, shaking her head around and looking for this curse that mesharra talked about.

arad crawled away from the spear wedged on the bed between his legs and took a deep breath, that was a close hit. if he hadn't sensed a faint shift in magic around him and trusted his guts, the would've been in so much pain.

"did it hit you?!" mary rushed to heal him but he quickly waved her away, he didn't get injured.

the two approached the spear and looked at it, noticing that something was engraved on its side. a letter from whoever threw this thing, and arad had a hunch who it might be even though he still hadn't read a single word.

****

dear future husband, i write on this spear of ice to inform you of your imminent submission. for i do not know defeat, and i would love it if you'd prove me wrong. it'll mean this world isn't as tasteless as frozen food and that my search for something fresh has finally ended.

if you're wondering where i aimed this spear, it's merely so i can test how fast you can move it. that's important to me. and about you being married, don't worry, i'll take care of them. they are like seasoning the more the better, as long as they get along together.

note: if you're worried about me being an infertile greatwyrm, i already solved that. i assure you that i'm more fertile than my daughter, i'll bring her as well if you want to test that.

"hehehe, i'm in danger." now he's starting to think that her confidence is warranted. he couldn't help but their fight would end with his losing, impregnating her, and then ending up

eaten as a snack.

arad doesn't even have an escape path, if he could run away, he would choose to take his wives and run away as far as he could from gamond, she's a problem that he doubts he's ready

to face.

after thinking about it for a few minutes arad finally figured something out. "i should ask father for help." going to alcott for advice was the only strategy he could come up with when dealing with such a powerful drakaina. but sadly, alcott isn't here, he's in the outside world. "your father?" mary who was sitting at his said patiently waiting looked at him with a confused stare. she could only wonder what arad's father would look like.

but as arad was about to despair, one of alcott's lines came into his mind, getting him back

on his feet.

"ginger was a far stronger vampire than him, so he became an even stronger vampire, beat her, and then dragged her to his home in a cage." he stood with a smile on his face. "we're taking a detour." he looked at mesharra, "dragons exist in this world, right?"

"yes, they do." she replied.

"we'll hunt as many as we can on our way to yog's tower. and find me a storage bag and as

many weapons and cannons as you could." arad only only path forward is to follow in his father's footsteps. he had already seen alcott fight many times and should be able to figure out the rest by fighting dragons.

"wait! dragons are dangerous?!" mary gasped, the last time a dragon attacked. a whole city was burned to the ground.

"i know, but we must try. if i can't beat normal dragons with ease, we'll just end up wiped out by gamond." he stood with a smile on his face, his fists resting on his hips as he pushed his chest forward, "what would father do here? he'll just find a way to slay her."

arad then shifted his gaze to echidna, "and let's start here, release her." "she's dangerous, one wrong move and she'll curse the whole city to death." mesharra

growled, "she just used a curse and i don't even know how she did that. we must chain her

even more rather than free her."

arad took a step, towering over mesharra, "i wasn't asking. do it. we'll also search for vampires and werewolves after, i want to gather as many curses as i can and she's my key to

controlling them."
