The dragon's harem

Chapter 637 True Weakness

?"Was that time magic?" He growled, "What other annoying tricks do you have?"

"Time magic? Ah, you think that because of the acceleration," Sena stared at him, a grin crossing her face as her eyes flared with a blue fire. She extended her arms, "Let's go with broken limbs and no mana for a month, that's gotta keep you out of my way,"

"Try if you can," Grant growled, swinging his hand and sending a crescent moon of fire toward Sena.

The ground beneath his feet cracked as hundreds of roots writhed like snakes, smacking him across the mountain foot. Sena dropped her hands and more roots blocked the fire, "The spirits are limited by your body, it's like a flood trying to seep through a tiny hole,"

With a burst, Grant jumped toward Sena, flapping his wings to accelerate even further.

His vision blurred once again as he felt a powerful impact on his body, sending him flying several kilometers away and crashing into a second mountain, scaring the people living at its base.

"Stay put so I can cripple you without killing you," Sena stood at a tree, staring down at Grant with a passive face, "You're quite annoying,"

"That's again," Grant growled, "Fine, you don't look like someone I can take lightly, a world power I bet," He put his hands together, and the spirit's hands emerged from his chest and stomach, creating several hand signs.

[Spirit Expansion: Court of the King]

The whole area got consumed into a ball of light, and Sena found herself standing in a throne room with Grant sitting on the throne, glaring down at her as all the spirits inside his body surrounded her.

"You said the spirits were bottlenecked by my power, now they aren't," Grant smiled. "There are even some world powers in them. I'll enjoy watching them stop you until you beg for mercy,"

"Your expansion looks exactly like you, reliant on borrowed power, you wimp," She looked around with a grin.

"Time to shut your mouth," The forest spirit growled at her, "You're in the king's presence,"

Sena stared at her, "Well, I heard it's a felony to bow to someone besides the king when he's present, so how about you bow to me?"

"Like I would, you..." The spirits' bodies started to move on their own, they slowly lowered their heads until they touched the ground, prostrating themselves in front of Sena.

"You! What are you doing? Does she have mind control magic?" Grant stood from his throne, staring into the spirits' minds. No, they weren't controlled.

"We can't move. Our bodies aren't responding to us," One of the spirits growled.

Sena turned toward Grant, "Now, let's start by breaking your legs,"

"Like you would," He pulled a sword, but at that moment, all the muscles in his legs contracted, shattering his own bones and ripping themselves off,

Grant fell down, screaming in pain as Sena slowly walked toward him, "Next time when a lady tells you to scram, you scram away," She lifted her hand, "Now, let's take that mana of yours,"

Grant could feel his heart beating louder, his chest tightening as he started feeling all the veins of his body. His body grew hotter and hotter as he could feel a searing pain rush from his fingertips into his stomach. contemporary romance

He shouted in pain as a blue crystal burst out of his belly button.

"What are you doing?" Grant glared as he saw her grab the crystal, vanishing it with the flick of a finger.

"Taking your mana," Sena stared at him with a disappointed face, "I already said that, didn't I?" She looked back at the spirits, "If I was to explain it with the system, I took your maximum mana down to 1 only so you can remain alive. Don't worry, it's slowly healing but that would take months in the worst case,"

"Give it back!" Grant growled.

"I can give it back, but I won't." Sena smiled, "It's mine now."

"You steal other people's mana to increase your mana's maximum limit, that's how the spirits thought your mana was infinite," Grant smiled, "Your trick is out. Once I heal, I'll come after you,"

"Please do, that'll give me more mana to take," She giggled, turning to leave as Grant's expansion started to fade.

"To think, such a power existed with the system, unknown to anyone," Grant sighed.

Sena stopped, looking back at him, "I don't have a system,"

"What?" Grant gasped.

"The system is for the weak to rely on. Relying on an entity that you don't even know or understand for power is a weakness. And you took it a step further by relying on spirits, an even more pathetic weakness." She started floating, "Stay put. I didn't triple the spirits as they are unreplaceable unlike you. So I hope they can nurse you back to health," She blasted away, leaving Grant bleeding on the ground.

Thud! Sena landed back in the city where Arad got kidnapped, "Now that I dealt with the idiot," She looked around, "It seems, you noticed my presence,"

"Human woman, you reek like the heavens," A dream walker crawled out of the ground, staring at her with a sharp glare.

"Do I now? Is that supposed to be a compliment or an insult?" She smiled.

"In your tongue a compliment, and in ours an insult," The dream walker replied, "As a notable threat, we will make a special case and kill you right here and now," From behind him, hundreds of dream walkers crawled out of the ground, forming crosses with their hands, "Together, we're forming the dreamland!" They chanted and Sena could feel their mental energy synchronising. They have a hive mind, each of their brains linked with the other forming a complicated network that influences mana and releases it as waves that can affect the brains of creatures that aren't linked to the network, forcing them into an endless dream.

"One of you is a problem, but having hundreds could even drop a world power into an endless dream that they would never wake from. No wonder Arad got captured," She looked at them, "So what? Is it working on me?"

The dream walkers started sweating, "Her brain isn't responding to the waves. It's as if it doesn't work at all," One of them growled.

"Of course, it won't respond, I think with my liver," Sena stared at them with a gentle smile, "And now I'm thinking with my kidneys, or how about a new organ all over, let's call it papulgus."

"She's a monster!" One of the dream walkers growled.

Sena lifted her hands with an innocent smile, combing her fingers with her palms reversed. She then wiggled her fingers like tentacles, "It's known as an expansion, right?"

"Kill her before she activates that!" All the dream walkers lunged at her, trying their best to reach her.
