The dragon's harem

Chapter 999: The Little Wolf and Her Rifle

Note: this is another long chapter, strap in, put on some music, and get a drink. Donʼt forget to tell me what you think after.

Beneath the moonlight, the door of an old tavern opened up. An old man in his late forties walked in, his eyes dazed, staring at the distant nowhere. The untrimmed grey hair on his face dripped with blood as his shaking hands trembled. From his mouth nothing came but incomprehensible mumbles.

From the window that is on the opposite side of the door, a nine-year-old girl in a tattered brown dress jumped in, pointing a rifle at him. ”Donʼt move!” She shouted and the whole tavern froze, they all stared at her in shock, and their eyes finally noticed the homeless- looking blood-drenched man.

The man beside the door stood and glared at the homeless man, ”You! Whatʼs going on?” But the moment that man spoke, the homeless man grabbed him by the face, clenching so hard that the manʼs cheekbones cracked.

BANG! The little girl shot the homeless man in the chest, but he didnʼt even flinch nor change his dead expression, shattering the manʼs skull in cold blood. She immediately loaded a second shot and placed it right between his eyes, but he didnʼt even reach, walking forward as the bullet got pushed out of his wound and he healed.

The moment she fired the third shot, the homeless man burst forward with a powerful leap, swinging his fist at her. She jumped away, stepping on the air with some kind of magic that propelled her to the other side of the tavern.

Some seasoned hunters were in the tavern and they all charged at the homeless man, swinging their weapons and flinging their swords, but in the blink of an eye, the homeless man slaughtered them with a single swing of his palm. One of the huntersʼ shattered swords flew toward the little girl, barely missing her head, but it took her left eye with it.

She cried, but immediately rolled out of the way and pointed her rifle at him.

After several shots inside the tavern, the homeless man jumped out and ran through the busy streets, killing everyone in his path. Quickly, he reached for a hooded man.

When the homeless man swung his fist at the hooded man, the hooded man swung back a fist, ripping the homeless manʼs lower jaw out. But, not before the homeless man ripped the manʼs hood out, Arad was the one standing there.

In the blink of an eye, Arad pulled his greatsword and swung at the manʼs neck. The little girl jumped out of the tavern, seeing Arad swinging at the homeless man, only for the homeless man to grab Aradʼs arm and twist it out of his shoulder, ripping it off, and immediately went for a swing at Aradʼs neck.

The little girl fired a shot at the homeless man, and he dodged before jumping away with enough force that the street shattered, killing several bystanders. At the last moment of that quick exchange, Arad noticed that the manʼs jaw had fully regenerated.

The little girl growled and started running in the direction where the homeless man jumped, but Arad grabbed her from the back of her tunic. ”Where are you going? Heʼs already too far away.”

”Let me go, you bastard! Go heal your arm instead!” Without hesitation, she pointed the gun down and shot Aradʼs foot. But to her surprise, he didnʼt even flinch nor let her go.

”Now...now...that isnʼt the way a little girl should speak, and my arm is fine.” It was just then that the little girl noticed that Arad was carrying her with the arm that the homeless man supposedly ripped off.

She looked back down, Aradʼs boots were pierced by the bullet, but his foot was completely fine. She growled and pointed her rifle back at Aradʼs stomach, shooting him in the liver. ”Let me go!”

Arad once again didnʼt even flinch and grabbed her rifle, ”Kids shouldnʼt play with this.” With his strength, snatching the rifle was far too easy and the little girl started flailing her arms, trying to punch him.

As she screamed her lungs off like a terrified little bunny, Arad eyed her out. Her clothes were tattered, her skin wrinkly and dried out, her eyes had dark marks beneath them, and her left eye was already bleeding rivers.

Due to the chaos, the city guards rushed in and found Arad lifting the little girl with one arm as she screamed. They pulled their weapons, ”Put her down!”

Arad looked at them with his burning blood-red eyes, ”Iʼll go with noooooo....” and they all fell to the ground, asleep. The girl went silent, over fifteen men had been knocked out in a second.
