The dragon's harem

Chapter 940: The Crash

 n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The moon was almost 850 kilometers in radius {530 miles}, it dwarfed Arad and the whole continent they were standing upon and it was coming down fast. And Arad knew this wasn't the best that the world could offer, Kayden should be leagues above Lunara in power.

This was the middle echelon of demons, and Arad knew that this might be even more than anything he could take. Doom, the world was coming to an end, crushed beneath the hammer of the demon queen Lunara. If she were to attempt to invade the mortal world, he doubts his presence would mean anything, even if he himself could survive by hiding somewhere, one [Moon Fall] is enough to eradicate all life from the face of the earth.

Arad flapped his wings, flying straight toward the falling moon.

"Flying to your death! But worry not, I'll resurrect you back in my domain." She shouted, imagining what was to come soon, she'll spend a lot of resources on the ritual, but she could certainly bring him back to life if he died by her moon. It might take him a few years to regain his power, but he'll recover with time. Mere years and decades are like minutes to demon lords, and she's fine waiting a bit more.

Arad roared, and his heart started beating faster and faster. VROO000000000000M! His chest flashed bright white as plasma surged through his wings and he got engulfed in pale- white flames. A falling moon, he had no reason to hold back anything. Everything upfront, it's time to swing like it's the end of his life.

The ground beneath Arad heated up and Lunara suddenly noticed her skin burning and falling apart. She immediately jumped several miles back and healed herself, staring in shock as she realized that a massive area around where Arad was was now cursed to death.

As Lunara started, it didn't take the curse long to reach her once again. The radiation zone is growing larger and larger as Arad burns more matter inside his stomach, charging something that he had never dared to cast before.

As he accelerated and teleported several times straight up, Arad reached the moon before it could crash and held it with his neck and back. The lower side of his four wings burst with plasma, unleashing the deadly heat that Arad was burning inside his stomach downward like jets, and he did the same with his front and back claws.

Lunara could see the flash from miles away, four massive blue fire jets burned from Arad's wings and eight smaller ones from his limbs. She couldn't believe her eyes and gasped with an open mouth, "Is the fool trying to catch it?"

Arad looked down and opened his massive jaws, unleashing an ever bigger jet of fire, dwarfing anything that had come out of his wings or limbs. Yet, all of that propulsion power wasn't enough to stop the moon, it wasn't even close. Arad's nuclear engine just lacked the power, no matter how much matter he burns, with enough power, he'll just start digging into the moon's surface instead of stopping it.

Arad noticed what he lacked, and it was surface area. His eyes flashed with magic, sparking brown and purple as gravity magic rushed from his body and started engulfing the moon as fast as it could, but it still looked slow due to how large the moon was.

The brown magic that Arad was casting was earth magic, and two massive hands of earth and stone started rising from the ground, reaching into the heavens to capture the falling moon. Watching him from afar, Lunara couldn't wrap her head around how is he able to use and control all of those spells at once, it seemed impossible. But she didn't know, Doma was taking care of the earth magic while Arad focused on his jets and the gravity magic.

As the earth's hands cradled the moon and Arad's gravity magic slowly helped make it lighter and lighter, it started slowing down. Lunara watched with a sweaty face, seeing her ultimate attack slowing down. In her life, she has only used it three times, and this is the fourth one.

When she first cast it, even she herself was terrified of getting killed by it, and the poor demon lord she was facing ended up begging for his life, only to get crushed in a single hit alongside all of his armies.

The second time she used it was against a lesser god who tried to kill and steal her power, only for that god to choose death over facing that falling moon. Even a lesser god couldn't even imagine himself surviving such an attack.

And the third one was against Kayden when she grew arrogant enough and thought she could kill him. But strangely enough, when the moon landed, he was perfectly fine, sitting beside it like nothing happened.

Until today, no one had dared to directly face her [Moon Fall] Yet Arad was here, and he's about to catch it. The moon slowed further and further until it was on the verge of halting, but at that time Arad's body was already crumbling, most of his bones broken and his flesh cooked by his own fire, he had long since passed his limits and went even beyond that, pushing himself by the use of countless curses.

Lunara lifted her foot up and growled, "No, you aren't stopping it!" She growled, the veins on her legs bulging as blood rushed across her whole body. She had never attempted to cast this spell twice in a row, to be honest, she had never expected such a mass-destruction ultimate move would need to be cast twice, but here is she, facing a painful slap to her pride.

^My [Moon Fall] is absolute! None had ever faced it and lived, and you won't be the first, ARAD ORION!^ As she swung her foot back to the ground, she stood with all of her muscles flexed to the max.

There is only one moon in the sky, not two. A second [Moon Fall] Won't ever come, but the first moon can be pushed down harder.

The moon that Arad was about to stop suddenly got heavier and started to move at an even greater speed, finally pushing him to the ground and crashing with a massive shockwave, sinking the whole continent and Lunara was forced to jump away into a deserted island, gazing upon the massive moon on the ground.

In all of her previous casts, the moon had exploded upon impact and raised hell upon the entirety of whatever poor plane she had targeted. This was the first time, she had seen the moon staying in one piece, all thanks to Arad slowing it down and not giving it enough distance to accelerate at the end.

She fell on her knees, puking as her vision flashed black. This was far past her limits, and she felt as if her heart was about to explode from the pressure. Such a spell is indeed not intended to be cast twice in a row...

She looked toward the crashed moon and saw a crack appearing on its surface. Such an impact, the moon would soon crumble under its own eight... That is what she thought but soon realized that she was wrong as a massive shadow towered over her.

She slowly turned and looked up, seeing a massive black silhouette of a dragon with no distinct features, she couldn't even tell the thing's claws or fangs from its whole body, it looked like a shadow came to life. Light twisted around it, giving the illusion of its body consuming the universe.

The shadowy dragon disappeared like mist, and Arad fell from it in his humanoid form, crashing beside Lunara. Whatever was that last form, he couldn't maintain it for more than a few seconds. But even with how great that form was, Lunara had no time to admire it.

Arad who fell to the ground twitched, pushing his body up with his hand, trying to sit up. Lunara's mind started racing; he survived the [Moon Fall], she had never expected such a thing. She's currently out of both mana and stamina and can't even stand straight. Using two [Moon Fall] back-to-back had put her body under such extreme stress that she probably wouldn't be able to defeat a wolf in her current state. A pack of wolves would eat her as if she were any ordinary rabbit, ripped limb by limb.

Yet, the biggest wolf of them all had survived. Arad Orion, all of his bones shattered and his muscles ripped apart, his mana had long since been drained dry, and his body was forced back into a humanoid form to conserve energy and not die of starvation due to the sudden use of a massive amount of energy. He shouldn't be able to move, but he did, all thanks to his boiling lycanthropic blood, pushing him to move at death's door like a wild beast.

A starving wolf and an exhausted rabbit, a dragon, and a demon far past their limits, death knocking on their doors. Whoever dies first, or whoever recovers enough would win this

battle.

Arad suddenly started gasping as if his life was ending, his eyes almost popped out of his skull

as he started regurgitating, but nothing came out of his mouth.

Lunara smiles, it seems he's the one to kick the bucket first. That impact must've crushed

several of his vital organs, leaving him only hanging to life by a hair strand.

But, suddenly, a small kitchen knife came out of Arad's mouth.
