The dragon's harem

Chapter 2341: Evolving a Second Time.

As the Devil Commander lifted his hands to block Pin’s attack, she had just invaded his expansion unhindered, and she disappeared from his vision. ZON! The entire world flipped upside down as he could see the ground rapidly approaching his face. He tried to stop his fall using his hands, but nothing happened. He hit the ground and could see his headless body squirting blood everywhere. Pin was behind him, carrying the sword she had pulled earlier.

His eyes opened wide. He wanted to scream and shout at her, but being just a head, not a single voice came out of his shaking lips. As the Elemental Expansion slowly disintegrated, Pin spat out the poison as she shook her sword to get rid of the blood. She threw one glance at the severed head of the commander, and then noticed something creepy. He died smiling.

At that moment, something massive and heavy burst into the shattering expansion, and before Pin could even react, her entire body got sent flying to the side as she felt her ribs shatter and her spine crack. She flew like a rag doll, burst through several boulders before hitting the hill’s side, bleeding from her entire body.

Her eyes shook, stealing a glance back at where the Commander’s body was, and she could see him. A giant, bull-like devil with massive horns, a titanic body, a large spiked steel club, and enough cursed magic to make even her feet scared. That was a high devil of the first layer, a true Pitfiend of Tiamat’s army.

But the scary part was that he wasn’t alone; he brought with him six more battalions, each with its own commander and armed troops, all ready to hunt Pin down and restore order. Her entire body refused to move; her bones had shattered, and her flesh had been torn.

Seeing them approaching, she knew that she couldn’t defeat them all, and running away wasn’t an option either. At this rate, they’ll kill her, and she’ll lose most of the power she accumulated so far. Eris’s divine magic was slowly healing her body, but that won’t finish in time.

But it was then that the eye on her left arm opened wide, and the fate of those devils got sealed in darkness.

Pin opened her eyes in darkness, sitting on Eris’s lap as the divine magic diffused into her body. She looked back and saw that Eris herself was sitting on Arad’s lap. Pin herself was a powerful devil, and Eris was a monster far scarier than many divine gods. The two of them were clearly far beyond normal limits, but even so... there was someone who eclipsed them both.

Not that long ago, when Eris lost to Vorvadoss with everyone else, Arad burst out to save her and tore the abominable invasion apart. And that wasn’t just a coincidence; Arad absolutely refuses to let any of his women get hurt or die without a reason, and Pin, as Eris’s servant, was one of them.

The giant bull devil felt it first, as he was the strongest, and the first attack was coming toward him. Invisible, powerful, and nearly too fast to counter. He lifted both of his arms to protect his neck, and his forearms were torn off by the impact as he was blasted back, but he survived the first hit and could see it. Pure darkness burned out of the unconscious Pin’s left forearm.

He was confused for a fraction of a second, as he was certain he had knocked Pin out with that first hit. But looking at her now, he could easily tell that she was possessed by something far stronger. Is she the servant or slave of some god, the follower of a devil or demon, or is she here on behalf of a mortal wizard of immense power? He couldn’t tell, but one thing was for sure.

They shouldn’t have charged at her like this.

The ground shattered into pieces as darkness exploded out of Pin’s arm, tearing and dicing everything to pieces from the hill itself to the nearby field. The ground split; the devils who were marching forward were butchered to pieces, and the commanders barely survived the sudden attack that they couldn’t even see.

The bull devil healed his arms and rushed forward. The only option he had to stop whatever was coming out of Pin was to completely shatter and tear off her arm, which the energy seemed to be coming from. Thanks to his massive size, endurance, and blinding regeneration, he managed to tank several hits as he charged forward like a raging bull.

But then, his vision went black. He didn’t even see what killed him, as it was that fast.

An hour later, Pin woke up alone in a desolate cave. The entrance had collapsed, and she was sealed inside. Sitting up, she growled as she felt her entire body screaming in pain. "That... something hit me."

She then looked down at herself and noticed that she had evolved once more, and finally, she was a true devil. She was taller, fuller, and most of the ugliness she had before had faded away. She could still shapeshift to her earlier forms, but this one was the strongest. "I look like Lady Haru." She smiled and looked at her left hand. "What happened?"

The hand didn’t reply, as most of its energy had been exhausted, which told Pin enough. Arad had used the hand to save her. She still didn’t fully understand how the Left Arm of the Lord works or what exactly triggers it, but she was at least happy to know that someone had her back covered.

She stood and decided to inspect her body, as this form might stick with her for a long time. She was finally looking humanoid, standing at almost six feet tall. She couldn’t tell by looking, so she used her longsword as a measuring stick. That should’ve been a bit longer than her whole body, but now it is shorter than her.

That was her build; she was already muscular, but she got thicker, with wider hips and thighs, bulkier arms, and even sharp, long claws instead of nails. Her hair was still long and messy, and she couldn’t look at her own face to make sure she looked any different, but at least her sharp teeth remained.

But the detail that mattered to her the most was that her chest had grown substantially bigger, to the point that it might even match Eris, or be a bit bigger, which scared her. So much for balance; she won’t be able to jump around and do backflips with such... massive weights dangling down and getting in the way.

But she didn’t mind them, since Eris had told her many times that Arad prefers the big ones. "Well, got myself something nice." She then looked at her left hand and reached inside, looking for any decent clothes that could fit her. With how things are going, she needs to disguise herself and go down to the second layer where stronger devils are.
