Chapter 172 A Dragon Of Destruction Fin

I looked up at this man with a defiant glare as he just looked down at me all the while smirking. His body just oozed out an aura of confidence that He could take me on. I just smirked back at him in a clear sign that I wanted to seem him try it.

"Uncle?"

Me and the mysterious man both turned to look towards the new voice and found Lizaria was walking towards us. Specifically she was speed walking towards towards this guy.

"Lizzy? Wh-what are you doing here? Why aren't you with your mom? Where is Desmaros?" The mysterious 'Uncle' asked as his attitude changed from serious to happy and he hugged Lizaria and they basically forgot I was even there.

"He is with our lord over on the other side fighting against the hellhounds, I came to watch my lover fight.... Which leads me to my next question Uncle. Why the hell are you controlling these evolved hellhounds? What are YOU even doing here?" She placed her hands on her hips and cocked them slightly to the side. He laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head.

"Weell, about that, you see this guy over here is a prime bounty and the price on his head is enough to set me and your Dad up for life pretty much. Also his death could very well mean that this world is secured for years to come and we don't need any new threats besides the damn Shadow Eaters that are constantly growing in strength even as we speak. So me and your Dad came and used some magic to evolve the hellhounds dungeon before sending them to start the attack here. We didn't know that you or Desmaros would be here. We only knew that the Dragon of Destruction would be here with his allies and that was all we knew."

"Are you fucking serious! you were going to kill all of these people just to kill me!? My children are here! My wives are here! These people are here to patrol and make sure these dungeons do not go out of control and destroy the nearby towns where their fucking families live!? Are you fucking telling me that you didn't care about that? You only had a singular purpose in mind and that you said bedamned with the consequences?" I was feeling the familiar buildup of red hot fire from the pit of my heart and it was starting to well up but Lizaria rushed over and placed her hands onto my chest. She just as soon had to yank them off and start shaking them from the immense heat that I was pumping out but she didn't give up.

"Vexsus please don't! Calm down ok? I'm sure he and my father made sure that all the hellhounds they used didn't wander off and that all the towns nearby are safe and sound. That atleast should ease your mind a little shouldn't it? Please just calm down and let's atleast go see my father first and clear out the rest of the hellhounds." Her hands started to glow a faint pink as she placed her hands onto my chest again. She winced and wimpered a little but she didn't take her hands away. I felt a pulse of calming magic from her palms radiate towards my heart where the Rage always starts to build up from and like a lid it slowly pushed it back down before capping it off and sealing it shut.

I let out a long breath of air as my tensed up body finally relaxed and my mind was cleared. I looked down and saw as Lizaria was smiling up at me as she held her hand in her other one. Her palms were blistered and covered in burns and she had tears streaming down her cheeks from the pain, but still she did not stop smiling because she made sure that I was taken care of first..

"Dammit it Lizaria..... You could have just slapped me. That wouldn't worked just aswell." I hugged her as I drew in mana and then my body started to glow green that then spread to cover hers aswell. She let out a gasp as she held up her hand and her blisters and burns went away and in its place was a fresh layer of smooth untainted skin.

"This-This, Wow! This is amazing! Who knew that a Dragon of Destruction could use such a powerful healing spell to? Can you revive the dead too?" The Uncle asked me as he walked over with a huge grin on his face that only pissed me off and I felt that cap on the Rage well start to weaken a little.

"Uncle I think you would be smart enough to not speak right now? Let dad do the talking."

"Hey! That's just mean!"

I ignored the dipshit as I turned around and along with my kids and Lizaria we rushed off towards the sound of fighting in the direction of where my wives were. If Lizaria's Dad was where Desmaros was then they could figure it out. But my wives are a bigger priority, We ran nonstop and before long we came just in time to see Kitsoma wielding her flaming whip and sending it down crashing towards the face of a hellhound. When it landed it made a resounding crack that sent out a wave of flames in a circle that unfortunately didn't deal any damage to the hellhounds but it did manage to push them back and provide much needed space for the others.

Lula had already transformed back into her Ancient Bear form where she was able to Manifest 100% of her power, She was swinging her giant paws back and forth that with each swing would send atleast 4-5 beasts flying to crash into others and caused them to slowly rise up, at the same time she was also casting water spells that were causing steam to rise and a hissing sound everytime a water ball the size of a cannonball would smack into one of the hellhounds.

Mara was in the center between Lula and Kitsoma and she was shooting bolts of dark pink, almost black swirling bolts that when they hit the beasts they would cry out as the area they were hit in would start to become singed and overtime would grow biger and bigger. I started to notice that more and more of the hellhounds were looking more like bipedal coyotes with mange than frightening upright fire wolves from the underworld. She was even touching Kitsoma and and Lula every now and then and emitting and glow before the other girls would sigh in relief before renewing their attacks. Leave it to her to cover such a vital role as buffing and debuffing.

Vannessa on the other hand was in the shitstorm of the horde and just swinging her greatsword with a mastery that I had never seen before in a 2-handed swordsman or swordswoman. She would even at times use it with one hand and use a giant shield with the other, Guessing since she's a vampire and she comes from a special bloodline, maybe she has the power to wield such heavy weapons? But still to wield them both and to use them skillfully like that was awe inspiring. She would hack and slash the agile hellhounds like they both moving at the same speed, Even if rarely she would miss she would power through and the greatsword would glow faintly before smashinging into the ground and causing a tremor that destabile the nearby footing for the beasts and she just go on another slashing spree. She didn't care if a few weapons got past her shield as she was always wearing her heavy armor and they would just bounce right off with a ping. It was a thing of beauty watching this woman be a tornado of carnage as my heart started beating faster and faster.

"Dad? Your drooling." Harper said with grossed out look on her face as her siblings had the same look of grossed out at seeing their dad ogle their aunts like that. I quickly pulled myself together and ruan towards the fighting, I jumped into the beasts and grabbed the first one I landed next to and crushed it's head before throwing it towards the others. I grabbed another pair and smash them together before having to duck down as a dark blazing axe came swooping where my head had been just moments ago. I spun around and knocked all the creatures nearby onto their ass with my tail and jumped into the air as I shot a Smoke Blast down into the group of prone enemies below. I was greeted with the sound of hacking and coughing that was slowly spreading around as my smoke spread as I infused more and more of my mana into it. Pretty soon the battlefield was nothing but a fog that only I could see through with my skills... Or so I thought as I turned and saw as Vannessa was running without a care in the world.

When I mean without a care in the world? I mean she had on nothing but the bare minimun! She had taken off her armor and was now running through my smoke while slashing and destroying the enemies. She wasn't hacking or coughing or anything... Ofcourse it being my own skills I could control it not to harm the ones I don't want it to but still She couldn't have known that! Was this chick a secret Berserker or something?

Nevertheless it didn't take long before the enemies were cleared out and I let the smoke fade away to reveal nothing but the bodies of the slain hellhounds and my tired wives and the soldiers they had brought along with more than a few scratches and bruises as they fought to protect my wives... Maybe I should make them something as a gift for a job well done?

"HONEY! You made it!" Lula screamed still in her ancient form as she bounded towards me. She didn't show any signs of changing back and I was starting to get more and more scared as she got closer. I didn't know what to do as I watched her leap into the air and saw as a giant fur meteor come crashing down towards me, I just closed my eyes and waited for the crash but soon a small body just landed ontop of me as we both crashed onto the ground. I opened my eyes in shock as I heard the sound of Lula laughing at me.

"Did you really think I was going to really jump on you in my true form silly?"

"Eh, welll I mean.... You have been known to be a bit of an air head."

She smacked me as she puffed her cheeks that only made her that much more adorable as I smiled and held her as I stood up. "I am not an air head, HMPH!" She muttered as she pouted and looked away pointedly.

"Hahaha, yes yes, I know lovely. But right now we got some issues and We have to hurry over to where Necro is. So let's go."

I would've explained more but right now I didn't have the time and Lizaria was getting more and more antsy to see her dad after all this time. Plus I was losing the control over my rage and I needed to find out if these jackasses had made sure to properly make sure to keep these beasts in check and not let them rampage while they were trying to get them to evolve and hunt me. Trying to kill me is one thing.... But involve my family, and nothing short but that family itself could save you from death.
