Demonic Dragon: Harem System-Chapter 368: ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?!
"Okay, my loves... The one who takes me down first will get a reward." Strax said and everyone... absolutely everyone looked at him.
Even Xenovia and Scarlet.
'I think I've said too much...' Strax thought, feeling the pressure building towards him. 'Holy shit. He said before dodging a spear of blood coming towards him.
"ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?!" Strax shouted at Scarlet, who had possessive red eyes. "I want the reward." She said before advancing towards him.
Strax gulped as he saw Scarlet advancing towards him, her red eyes glowing with a predatory hunger. The air around her shook with her overwhelming aura, and Strax knew in that instant that he had made a mistake.
"Damn... I definitely said too much!" he thought, quickly dodging the blood spear that was still spinning in the air before piercing the ground behind him.
And he barely had time to breathe before all the other wives were advancing at the same time.
"SHIT!"
Daniela went first, her absurd speed putting her in front of Strax in an instant. Her hands were wrapped in crimson energy, and her sharp smile indicated how excited she was to claim her reward.
Strax leaned back at the last second, letting his nails pass within millimeters of her face, feeling the cutting wind of the onslaught. With a quick twist, he raised his hand and grabbed Daniela's wrist, but before he could use her as a shield, Cassandra emerged from her side, manipulating her blood to form sharp currents that hurtled towards him.
Without time to think, Strax partially activated his Dragon Transformation, and his red scales covered part of his body, blocking the chains before they could pierce him. With an explosive movement, he used the rays to create a shockwave that pushed the two vampires backwards.

"You're really trying to kill me!" he snarled, only to feel the air around him distort.
He didn't have time to react before Cristine appeared behind him, her shadows snaking out like evil tentacles. With a confident smile, she wrapped Strax in her chains of darkness, restricting his movements.
"You're trapped now, my love." She said possessively.
"Is that so?" Strax sneered.
Before she could react, a pulse of chaos energy exploded from Strax's body, disintegrating the shadows and forcing Cristine to retreat.
But then. "Now it's my turn."
Scarlet's cold, sensual voice echoed like thunder in Strax's ears.
Before he could move, Scarlet was already in front of him. Her eyes shone brightly as she raised her hand, and a dense, black energy took shape around her.
'!!!' He was startled, but it was clear... he knew nothing about Scarlet... not about how she really fought.
Strax felt a shiver run down his spine. "Oh, shit..."
Scarlet cracked a feral smile and, in an instant, she was gone.
Strax tried to use his Extended Speed, but something held him in place. An enormous gravitational force pulled him down as if hell itself was trying to swallow him up.
"Gravitational manipulation?" Strax's eyes widened. 'Why didn't I know that?!'
Before he could think of a counterattack, Scarlet appeared above him, her hand wrapped in destructive energy.
"You're MINE." And then she hit him with a Gravitational Punch, knocking him to the ground with such brutal force that the earth cracked within a radius of kilometers.
Absolute silence gripped the battlefield for a second.
Then the dust rose like a storm, obscuring everyone's vision.
"Huh... I think he's dead." Xenovia, who until then had been watching calmly, raised an eyebrow.
Scarlet landed softly on the ground, sweeping away the dust around her with a single movement of her hand. She smiled with satisfaction.
"My reward, then?" Scarlet smiled victoriously.
But then...
The earth began to shake. Small cracks spread across the newly formed crater, and an invisible shockwave dissipated the dust in the air.
At the center of the destruction, Strax stood.
The silence lingered as he straightened his body. His clothes were torn, his body covered in superficial cuts, but nothing in his posture indicated weakness. His eyes, once normal, now glowed an intense gold, and a wild smile took over his face.
"You know, Scarlet..." He ran his hand through his hair, once white, now dyed gray with bloodstains. In a nonchalant movement, he tossed it back. "... I'm not going to lose that easily."
And then, in the blink of an eye...
He disappeared.
Scarlet felt a shiver run down her spine.
But before she could react...
Strax appeared behind her.
[You have learned the skill Gravitational Manipulation]
"My turn."
With a single movement, he wrapped Scarlet around the waist, spinning her in the air as if she weighed nothing, and threw her hard towards Daniela and Cassandra. The two barely had time to react before Scarlet collided with them in an explosion of dust and energy.
Belatrix's eyes widened at the sight.
"What the fuck was that speed?!"
But she didn't have time for anything else.
Strax was already in front of her.
"Hi."
Belatrix froze.
"Oh, no..."
And then everything exploded into chaos again.
Strax raised his hand slowly, and reality itself seemed to shudder around him.
A colossal weight fell on the battlefield. The ground cracked under the crushing pressure, and they were all immediately forced downwards, their bodies sinking into the ground as if a mountain had fallen on them.
Except Scarlet.
She stood, her body trembling slightly as the air around her vibrated with intense energy. Her gaze met Strax's, and a sharp smile appeared on her lips.
"So, you stole the ability I've been hiding my whole life just from seeing?" Scarlet murmured, her eyes glowing a deep red. "Not bad... but not good enough for me."
Strax smiled back, his golden eyes sparking with excitement.
"I figured as much." He then increased the gravity even more. The air became heavy, the ground began to shatter, and the trapped vampires grunted under the absurd pressure. But Scarlet...
She simply stepped forward.
The earth sank beneath her feet, but her body didn't waver.
"Interesting." Strax narrowed his eyes.
The air vibrated.
The silence that followed was the calm before the storm.
Strax and Scarlet stared at each other for an instant that seemed to last an eternity. Their eyes shone like colliding suns, gold against red, power against power.
Then, in a single instant, they moved.
The earth exploded beneath their feet as they advanced against each other with unconscionable force. The impact generated by the first clash of fists sent out a shockwave so absurd that the distant mountains cracked, and the sky split with black lightning.
Strax spun his body around and threw an upward kick, but Scarlet disappeared at the last second, appearing beside him with a savage grin.
"Faster than that, my love!"
She struck his chest with an open palm, and a scarlet flash engulfed everything around. The impact was so brutal that Strax was thrown like a comet, his body breaking dozens of trees and creating a trail of destruction for miles.
But before the dust had even settled...
Scarlet felt a shiver run down her spine.
He was already behind her.
"Well, well..."
Strax grabbed her wrist before she could react and spun her through the air, slamming her into the ground with such force that the impact shook the earth like an earthquake. A colossal crater formed, cracks spreading throughout the area.
But before he could continue...
Scarlet emerged from the rubble like a blur.
Her eyes were glowing like red-hot coals.
"I told you it wouldn't be that easy."
And then...
Night turned to day.
Crimson-red flames engulfed the sky as Scarlet raised her power to the maximum. The pressure was absurd, the air around them burned and distorted.
Strax smiled.
"Now that's fighting."
He raised his hand, and the world shook under his will.
Golden lightning exploded around him, gravity distorted so absurdly that the ground rose up in huge slabs of earth. His body began to change - black scales covered his arms, and his aura became a chaotic mixture of demonic and draconic energy.
And then, without hesitation, the two of them threw themselves at each other once again.
Each punch generated colossal explosions. Each deflection created rifts in space. Each blow of energy launched destructive bursts that devastated the terrain for kilometers.
Scarlet struck Strax's chest, and an eruption of black fire exploded against him, sending him backwards.
But Strax roared.
A single wingbeat of pure energy and he reappeared in front of her, holding her face with one hand before hurling her into the sky.
She rose like a meteor, piercing the clouds.
But when she regained control...
Strax was already above her.
"Time to test something new."
He raised his hand, and space itself seemed to bend. A golden-black sphere appeared in his palm, pulsating with absurd power.
"Sphere of Singularity."
And then he threw it.
The sphere traveled at high speed, sucking in everything around it as if it were a black hole. Scarlet felt her body being pulled inside, her skin burning with the absurd energy.
But then...
She laughed.
"And you think you can swallow me up so easily?"
Her eyes shone brightly, and her aura exploded like a scarlet supernova.
"Crimson Imperium!"
And in an instant, a domain of flames expanded around her. The destructive power scorched the sphere before it could swallow her whole, and Scarlet, now completely engulfed in divine flames, opened her arms with a sharp smile.
"I'm still here, my love."
Strax laughed.
"Perfect."
And then the two of them moved forward once more.
The sky thundered. The world shook.
And the battle had just begun.
