The dragon's harem - Chapter 824: Horrific Abyssal Army

Chapter 824: Horrific Abyssal Army

“Get the catapult ready! Don’t hit her; fire beside her, a few meters is fine!” One of the adventurers shouted at the top of his lungs.

“What are you trying to achieve?” The army’s general yelled at him. “We don’t have time for…”

“Just do it! It’ll show those nobles what are we dealing with. She won’t attack back unless we hit her or get too close.” The adventurer rushed behind the general, “Do it! One shot is enough.”

All the soldiers remained still, awaiting the general’s decision. “No! We’re charging all at once.” The general growled.

“I told you! Everyone would die! Don’t approach her; you can feel it as well. That’s death incarnate.”

The general and the adventurer kept arguing, in the meantime, Eris had returned to the carriage. “Shallon is done.” She looked toward the army, seeing them arguing about something. “This isn’t about my sun earlier, is it?” Aella approached her with an angry face.

“We’ll talk about that later. Look there.” She pointed at Merida. “They want to teleport to Arad, all the army at once. But they need to cast the spell on flat ground so it’ll be possible to cast.”

“Merida decided to take a seat in the middle of their flat ground, and now none dares to take a step further as they can feel that she’ll kill them all.” Eris scratched her head, “I too want to take the easy way and kill them all and be done with it. There are over ten armies, one or two annihilated as an example probably won’t cause much harm.” She looked at Merida, “But that was a smart move, now it’s their fault for approaching her.”

“The nobles are arguing with the soldiers and adventurers. They are saying Merida isn’t a threat and want the army to advance.” Aella pointed at the back of the army where a large argument was going.

“Noble fools. They never fought in their lives.” Eris sighed, “One look at Merida, and one can see the air twisting around her. Mana is like fire, it has something akin to heat coming from it. Anyone who is used to fighting monsters and dealing with magic can recognize it with ease.” Eris looked at her hand, “We’re suppressing our mana, but Merida is letting a quarter of hers out so they can feel her.”

A messenger from the city came rushing in. “The wizards identified the woman as an S-class monster. Orders to eliminate her were given. The whole army is charged forth and overwhelm her with numbers.”

The nobles began laughing, “Do you hear that? Common fools. That woman is nothing more than a beast, like everything this kingdom has dealt with before. Charge forth and overwhelm her with numbers, she won’t survive even if she’s an S-class monster.”

“You’re the fool! S-class? That can’t be possible.” The adventurer glared back at Merida. “I’ve faced five S-class monsters in raids before, that thing is far more dangerous.”

“You’re a fool!” The noble growled. “All generals! Push forward!”

The generals looked at each other; some of them agreed with the adventurers that the woman looked far too dangerous to approach carelessly.

“AHHH!” the adventurer, cried, scratching his head, “Why no one could listen, one shot and it’ll be obvious even to the blind…”

At the side where the girl’s carriage was, the fairy flew to Eris and Aella’s sides and stood on the ground. “You majesty, the fairies want to thank you and Lady Eris for assisting us through those hard times.”

Eris looked at the army, and then at the fairy, back and forth a few times. “Say,” She waved her hand and called her in, whispering to her.

“I can do it!” The fairy said with a smile, flying with a proud face, puffing her chest.

“Go!” Eris gave the fairy a thumbs up and quickly called Merida through a magic ring, “Merida. Don’t attack back for now. Block anything if it came your way.”

“Why?”

“It’s complicated; just do what I said unless I call you again.”

The fairy flew into the back of the army and looked around, finding a small path between the tents. “Sneaky sneak….sneaky sneak, like a long snake.” She flew between the tents and bushes, listening to the soldiers arguing inside.

“Meow?” A cat cut her way, glaring at the fairy with hungry eyes.

“Hush! Hush!” The fairy hushed the cat away, but the feline hunter wasn’t listening. The cat pounced at her, going for the head.

“Fairy’s punch!” The fairy dodged the attack and knocked the cat with a single punch to the jaw. Even though she was as small as a human palm, she still had far more strength than she looked.

After sneaking through the back of the army and avoiding several dogs and cats and a rooster, she finally reached where the catapults and trebuchets were. “Do they intend on dragging those with them? Well, it doesn’t matter.” She found a loaded trebuchet and checked the trajectory; it seemed to be aimed straight at Merida. The massive boulder was engulfed in flames, it seemed to have been drenched in oil and set ablaze.

“Hope she can survive this.” The fairy pulled the rope and fired the trebuchet. The army panicked as they heard the large war engine move, half of them started running away as they saw the massive boulder racing toward Merida.Geett the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐vels on no/v/elbin(.)c/om

“Shit!” The adventurer cried, “It’s flying straight at her, who aimed that…” He ran to the trebuchet.

As he arrived, he could see the fairy flying toward him, away from the trebuchet. The two stopped and looked at each other, the path between them was clear with tents spread at the

sides.

“I see…” The adventurer lunged forward with his sword drawn. He didn’t know what the fairy was scheming, but death was her only option. By firing straight at Merida, she has destined the whole army to disaster.

The fairy kept flying in place with a passive, stupid face, looking forward as he ran toward her. When he reached the last two tents before reaching the fairy, he could see them from the

corner of his eyes.

The two tents were packed with fairies to the brim, thousands of them all flying inside like a swarm of wasps. The surviving army had followed the fairy.

“For our queen! For the queen! Queen! Queen!” They swarmed out, caught the adventurer and knocked him cold with magic, then dragged him back into the tents.

“The fairy flew in.” Thanks for the help… “Didn’t think you’d follow me here.”

The commander of the fairy knights approached her. “In the name of Titania, why didn’t you

tell us the wind herald was here and that she had the queen’s crown?”

“Just didn’t have time.” The fairy waved her hands, looking at the adventurer foaming

beneath their feet.

“I guess so.” The commander nodded, “The queen’s friend helped us and defeated Shallon, even though we’re still exhausted from the repeated fights, we’ll do our best and fight for her till our last dust.” She pulled her sword and pointed it out, “For the queen!” “For the queen!” The fairies swarmed out, sneaking behind the army tents to reach Aella.

Merida sat in place and slowly looked up, seeing the massive boulder flying toward her.

As the boulder was only a few meters away from hitting her, the ground behind Merida cracked and a massive worm almost four meters in width burst up with a roar. The worm bites the boulder, shattering it to pieces.

As the burning embers fell toward Merida, a massive and hairy muscular arm protected her, a seven-meter tall minotaurus demon was sitting behind her, his body rotting with crimson

fungus.

Massive spore buds burst from the ground and demons started emerging from them in

hordes, roaring and growing, their cries sent a chill through the air all the way to the army. The wizards in the city started panicking, the S-class signal had grown several times stronger, and hundreds of A and S-class demons appeared out of nowhere.

M00000000000000000000000000000000000000000! The minotaurus roared in rage like a pissed bull, smacking his chest like a gorilla, and lunged forward with fire gushing out

of his mouth. The army immediately turned back and the soldiers started running away as the demon scared them shitless.

“Stop.” Merida said one word and the demon halted, sitting in place.

The fungus spread by infecting monsters and demons through spores, adding everyone into

the mycelium hive mind of the fungus demon queen. With Merida and the fungus queen being linked together as one, she could call the fungus demons straight out of the abyss as well as turn monsters and humans into fungal zombies under her command. While Eris is a solo fighter with insane firepower and holy magic above her divine core, Merida is a martial fighter with an army of demons, depicting a more militaristic type of power. “MERIDA!!! HELP!” Mira rushed toward Merida, running between the horrors of the abyss like she owned the place, crying as she held a smoking device in her hand. “I’ve failed to balance it… help!”
