The dragon’s harem

Chapter 881: A Night To Remember

Lucia gasped, blood dripping across her lips as the spider’s fangs sank into her stomach and chest. A painful burning sensation started rushing through her body, but her eyes jolted open, and her mind couldn’t lose conciseness. The concentration of wizards, and the hard mental training they got through to be able to stay awake and focus on spells even when injured now started working against her.

No matter the pain, wizards can’t lose consciousness unless they run out of mana. She could see the spider’s glowing red eyes glaring at her, the fangs digging into her body, crushing her organs. A slow and painful death was the only thing that awaited, those monsters are extremely adept at taking down their prey, even if Lucia were to blast the spider’s face with a powerful spell, it’d never let go. And even if the spider died and let her go, she’d instantly bleed to death.

^This is fear…it’s good then…I’ve forgotten how it felt like.^ Arad’s voice boomed in Lucia and the spider’s heads. From the jungle, a bolt of lightning sparked, hitting the ground as a massive black arm extended and landed right behind the spider. ^I’ll not lose anyone. ^ The last time Arad felt true fear was when Isdis got sniped and almost died, he wasn’t afraid for his own life, but to lose people close to him.

Lucia’s eyes opened wide as she saw the massive black dragon crackling with magic chop down the spider in half. She had never in her life seen such a monster up close, and she could remember, this was the one who rampaged a few weeks ago in the swamp beside the university.

Arad stood above Lucia and stared at her in his draconic form, she was already at death’s door, and now that the spider’s grip had waned, Lucia had started bleeding rivers.

Arad shifted back into his humanoid form and looked at her, his eyes spazzing left and right, trying to figure out what to do. There was no saving her at this point, she was bleeding faster than what any healing spell could heal. Just from a single look, Arad could tell that her stomach, lungs, heart, and all the organs around them got pierced and crushed by the spider’s bite. The only thing keeping Lucia alive in her last seconds was her trained wizard brain, still throbbing with life even with the lack of blood.

“Say…do you want to live?” Arad looked at her, his eyes burning red.

Lucia’s mind was quickly dying, and by that time she had lost the ability to see and hear, leaving her alone in darkness.

“I take silence as yes. You could go back from life, but not from death.” Arad bent down and bit her neck, letting his blood course through her veins. Her organs slowly climbed back into her body as her flesh regenerated and red magic flashed in her eyes.

Up till this point, Arad only turned bandits into vampires to use as pawns and spawns, and this was his first time actually turning someone he knew into a vampire. He gave it his all, watching carefully as he used all of his skill to make sure her turning was perfect, channeling all of his might through her.

The pain Lucia was feeling quickly disappeared and became a distant memory, the painful hole in her torso was replaced with a warm, good-feeling tickle as she stood alone in the darkness. She looked forward, her eyes glowing red as a crazed smile crossed her face.

Arad was standing behind her in his draconic form, he opened his massive, throwing blood on her. The blood burned her skin as she giggled, her very nature shifting. Zia appeared standing before her, looking at her with a smile, “Welcome, sister.”

Lucia opened her eyes as she lay on the ground, they burned red with blood magic. She stood, her robe was torn from the torso due to the spider’s bite and her breasts danged out, but she didn’t even care, something else was racing on her head.

“You’re alive? Relatively speaking.” Arad said he was sitting around her in his draconic form, keeping a barrier up to make sure she was safe and to make sure she didn’t go rampaging in a blood rage. Doma had warned him that vampires born with so much power could lose control and rampage.

Lucia lifted her head and looked at her, her deteriorating vision had healed, and she could see far better than ever before. With each heartbeat, she could feel her veins pulsing, carrying blood across her whole body.

“This feeling…” She looked at her hands, “I’m a vampire, I can feel the blood.” She looked at Arad, innately knowing he was her vampire lord and not just any lord. She could sense the depth of the abyss rushing from him, his true power.

“You’re my vampire lord…no…something feels off…” She mumbled.

Zia appeared from Arad’s shadow, “He’s your lord, God, and progenitor. The God Lord of your whole existence, he is who you serve, pray and worship.”

Arad waved his hand and teleported Zia back to his blood, “Forget the hard talks, the important part is that you’re okay.” He lifted his claw and pointed to her chest, carrying a robe. “You’re half naked, wear this.” He spoke.

Lucia looked down, her breasts were indeed dangling down, usually, she wouldn’t tolerate this, but now, she didn’t feel anything. Since Arad is now her lord, she didn’t feel the necessity of wearing clothes around him, she’s technically a part of his blood now.

“Do I need to cover up?” She mumbled.

“Doma, she got brain damage, can you fix her?” Arad looked into his own soul and Doma laughed, “That’s the hard mentality of a vampire of her power. I can fix her, but that would be a nerf to her mental fortitude.” Doma smiled, “Being constrained by human morals is a weakness.”

“Just turn her back like she was before.” Arad waved his claw above Lucia’s head and his magic flew into her body. As her brain slowly shifted due to Doma’s curse [Humanity] [Humanity] It grants human emotions and morals to a target, which could cause a lot of mental damage, like making a poor monster aware of himself and falling into an existential crisis.

When Doma’s curse fully took effect, Lucia’s mind raced faster than a horse and crashed down. It was clear why [Humanity] is a curse. First, a flash of her death quickly came to her, sending her into an episode of terror, it was then followed by a jolt of the pain of her own death, the horrid vision of her guts spilling out, and the spider’s terrifying face.

Lucia screamed her lungs out, but that wasn’t the end of her suffering, in the back of her mind, she realized she was half naked and that put even more stress on her brain, followed by the last straw, realizing the extent of her lord’s power.

For a second, she could see herself like an ant sitting beneath Arad’s foot, about to get stomped down. All of what she saw of him till now was a mere fraction of his true power, and now she could sense and see all of it. Knowing she was sitting between his arms almost ripped her soul out of her body. The horror of being in his presence felt like sitting inside a blender, not knowing when someone would turn it on and turn you into juice.

Lucia stopped breathing and moving, her mind immediately tried his best to avoid getting killed, and the response was natural. She fell face down, unconscious.

“Did she die?” Arad gasped. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

^{The situation was too much for a human mind to cope with, she lost conciseness. Let her rest, she’ll be up and fine later.}^

Arad shifted back into his humanoid form and covered her with the robe. He then lifted her up and headed back. Thanks to being a direct vampire born from him, she shouldn’t have a problem with the sun and stay relatively unnoticed as long as she doesn’t use blood magic in

public.

Arad sighed and stood in his bed, “I hope she won’t cause trouble.” Mira immediately woke up and looked at him, “What did happen?”

“Teacher Lucia almost died, well, she got her torso bitten off by a large spider. I had to turn her into a vampire so she could survive.” He looked at the moon outside, “This night is going to be something for her to remember for decades.”

“If that’s the case, then you should be able to control her, right?” Mira looked at him, “Make sure she doesn’t use her blood magic and keep her aura down.”

“I’m already doing that.” Arad could control all of the spawns in his blood, not just by orders, he could literarily take over their bodies and control them. He now was using that authority to block Lucia from using her vampire powers so she would seem like a normal human.

Arad walked into the student’s camp where teacher Ramy was waiting with worried breaths, “What happened, we’ve heard a lot of noise.”

“She got caught by surprise by a large spider monster and got bitten. Luckily, I managed to track her in time.” Arad smiled, “I killed the monster and healed her with potions, she should

be fine.”
