Chapter 722 Merida’s Night III: Reinforced power [R-18]
Arad grabbed Mira by the hips, pulling her toward him as he pushed inside. She gasped, feeling something stretch inside of her, standing at the edge of ripping apart but never giving up.
^It hurt, hurt… like someone twisting my forearm. It shouldn’t hurt like this.^ Merida could hear her heartbeats throbbing across her body, the veins in her arms and legs pulsing as waves of stinging pain surged across her torso up to her head.
With each thrust, her mind calmed down, but her body kept screaming in pain, ^It’s not Arad’s doing… something is changing…my hymen didn’t break. I can feel it stretching with each thrust.^ With each pulse of pain, Merida slowly noticed that she wasn’t only hearing her heartbeats through her veins but a whole other structure spreading across her body from head to toe.
Arad’s eyes flashed purple as he felt a massive force clenching down on his flesh like a cleaver. No, it felt more like being stuck in the jaw of a monster, trying to bite his flesh off. If not for his scales, this would’ve chopped it off.
“This isn’t right,” Merida gasped, veins spreading to her eyes, and she stared at her hand, feeling the crimson rot. The demonic fungi reinforce her body, from head to toe. Her tissues would stretch but never break.
Arad could see it with his void eyes, the mycelium spreading through her whole body, infused into her muscles, organs, and bones down to the hymen. It acts like steel wires that hold the structure of her body together and compress back with unbelievable force to grant her superhuman strength and resilience.
With each stroke, it absorbed Arad’s magic and grew stronger. It wasn’t that strange. Dragon’s magic can affect the ground and nature around them. A red dragon living in a mountain would soon turn it into a volcano, and so would the living fungus in Merida adjust to Arad’s magic.
Arad lifted his fist, about to blast her with an erasing void blast, aiming to kill the monstrous fungus infesting her body. “Demon lord, you’re overstepping your…” But he quickly stopped. Thanks to his eyes and sharp sense of smell, he could tell. The fungus growing in Merida’s body wasn’t a part of the demon lord, but one with her, born from her own cells that fed on the demon lord’s magic. This is a power that her body developed from getting soaked in demonic magic… she’s slowly straying away from humanity, shifting toward either becoming a demon, or something greater. Arad couldn’t tell. He isn’t that versed in either biology or demonology.
“How do you feel?” Arad asked, staring at her down.
“You aren’t going to punch me, are you?” She stared back at him.
“I was about to erase the fungus in your body, but it seems to be one with you.” He replied, “How does it feel?”
“Painful, but the pain isn’t bothering me. It’s sharp, but I can ignore it as easily as a mild itch.” She replied, staring at her stomach. “It feels strange,”
“The mycelium network inside your body is feeding off my magic to grow stronger. Probably, the longer and closer you stay to me, the stronger it could become.” He touched her stomach with his palm, “Or it might be adapting to me to survive. Do you know which one?”
Merida shook her head, “But either way, it means I’m growing stronger the closer I’m to you.” She smiled, “That’s good, isn’t it?”
“You’re right,” Arad nodded as he kept thrusting, “Just say it if you want me to stop.”
“No need to stop, just keep going. It doesn’t matter…” She blinked, “Wait, does this mean I’ll stay forever a virgin?”
^Since my hymen isn’t breaking with normal penetration, should we try something else? No, it has to break normally…^
“Probably…I not sure.” Arad replied, but she shook her head, “Thrust harder! Faster,”
“Any more strength and I’ll seriously crack your hips,” Arad refused to comply. With how tight and resilient her insides were, he was already finding it hard to thrust with a normal level of force.
“It isn’t enough, make it larger.” Merida gasped.
“It doesn’t work that way,” Arad sighed, “It’s already too big for the others. Take it or leave it.”
Merida crossed her arms as Arad kept thrusting into her…”I got it!” She smiled, “How about you transform…” Arad immediately pinched her nipples, “Forget it, I won’t. It doesn’t make sense.”
“AWA! That hurt. You’ll rip them apart,” She moaned.
^Her skin is silky and smooth, but her flesh is dense and tough.^ Arad wasn’t just pinching her nipples. He was actively trying to feel her body and understand how it works.
“It won’t.” Arad looked at her, smiling, “It’ll take more force than this to harm you.” He is certain, it’ll take him in the half-dragon mode and a serious power output to wound her without using a weapon.
“I’m not talking about that,” She lifted her foot and tried to kick him in the face. He dodged each swing. “They are sensitive. Treat them gently.”
Arad caught her foot, “Just tell me that. It’s a bit hard to output two levels of power.” He thrust all the way into her and patted her stomach, “Do you feel it? It’s clenching back at me like the jaws of a crocodile. I have to maintain a similar output for it not to get snapped.”
“Then don’t pinch. Hold them with your palm if you want.” If she replied, grabbing his palm and opening them wide before she laid them over her breasts, “This is better,”
Arad bent over her and started fondling her breasts as he thrust faster and faster as deeper as he could. She wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him closer for a hug.
“You’re getting stronger by the second.” Arad kissed her, “It’s amazing. You’re already far above the s-rank monster that ruled this part of the forest.”
Merida cupped his face in her hands, “If I’m that strong, what that makes you?” She gently passed her fingers over his neck and arms. “I’m here pinned down. I don’t even have the strength to struggle against your human form. Let alone defend against your void. You can only kill the fungus, can’t you?”
“It’s just that you’re a bad matchup against me. If we talked about anyone else. They’ll have a hard time dealing with you. I’m certain you’ll be able to use that fungus to control monsters like the ape did, a powerful fighter with demon power and resilience and an army of monsters. Who can stand against that?” 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝓇𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝘰𝑚
“It’s you, idiot,” She kicked him again in the face, but he caught her foot this time.
“I’m your husband.” He licked her foot, “I’m not here to threaten your life. You can fight me if you want, but in reality, I’ll be a part of your strength as you’re a part of mine.”
Merida giggled, “Well, I know that when I need it, I can rely on you to save my life. You already did against the demon lord,” She pulled her foot away from his face, “And don’t lick it. I’m not Aella.”
“Then don’t get it close to my face.” Arad stared at her eyes, “How do you feel?” He could sense several pulses coming from inside her.
“I’m about to…” She looked at him, half dazed, “AHHH!” Her body jolted as a clear liquid splashed out of her.
Arad pinned her down, thrusting faster and faster. With each one, she jolted again, her toes curling back as she gasped for air. “Don’t… stop…keep going,” Panting, she wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling his hips toward her.
It didn’t take Arad that long after to finish, filling her insides until it spilled out. He then gently pulled out, letting Merida rest on the ground for a bit.
“Say, Arad.” She looked at him. “Are okay… you aren’t angry at me. We cleared that, right?”
“Of course,” Arad sat beside her.
“I still can’t believe it. Everything changed so quickly…” She sat up, extending a hand to him, “Do you have a towel or anything,”
“Yeah, here.” He pulled a clean leather cloth and a bowl of water. “I’ll help you,” He started cleaning her.
“I can do it myself…” She tried to resist, but ended up giving up, “I’ll clean you then…”
“Already did it, a burst of the void is all it needed.” He replied and she quickly noted that he had cleaned himself seconds after finishing.

The two then quickly returned home and Aella informed them of the silver dragon’s attack. Arad praised Sebas for beating the dragon, and Gojo made sure Arad understood that the silver dragon was still out there and might attack again with another clone.
“If Eris or Merida were the ones here, this would’ve gone differently,” Aella looked down with a sad face.
“You’re a ranged fighter that relies on a bow, it wasn’t your fault.” Arad patted her head, “And I bet the dragon wouldn’t have even bothered showing up if he knew someone could stop him.”
“I would’ve punched him in the face,” Merida growled. She and Eris could do well in close-quarter combat, and they might’ve been able to distract the dragon away from Mira. Aella does a better job when it’s attacking people from range or area of effect blast spells.
After Sebas and Gojo left, Aella poured dinner for Arad and Merida as he explained to her that she might be pregnant and that something was off about Merida’s body. After discussing it with Merlin and Lydia, it was decided that Aella needed an inspection from an elvish healer for a clear result and that Merida would have a problem getting pregnant with how unstable her body is due to the rapid growth.
As Arad was out cutting wood for Mira, the girls discussed the matters between them and made a crucial decision. Merida was the only one of them who could take on Arad without getting sore, so she’d be with him every day unless one of the other girls wanted a session. This would maximize her chances of getting pregnant while keeping the rest comfortable.
Soon after, Eris carried the burial of the royal family and the civilians, seeing the winter for a cold, sad end. Arad’s catacomb has more corpses than the people living on his land.
Arad can’t save everyone. His power doesn’t matter if they aren’t strong enough to protect themselves until he arrives.

Merida sighed, staring forward at the university’s stage and then down at the cursed ring in her hand.
Doma had made the rings to hide everyone’s strength, scent, and magic from the countless wizards roaming around. If she tried to go all out, all the wizards would sense the s-rank monster that she is. And the same applies to everyone.
