The dragon's harem

^I shouldn't fight them.^ Eris lunged past them, running up the mountain toward the gate.

"She's fast!" The devils growled, turning to chase her, "Stop here!" One of them threw his spear toward her, forcing her to dodge to the side.

"Tch!" Eris growled, looking around as she saw even more mid-rank devils surround her. "You really craw out like worms out of rotten corpses," She said as she ran between them.

"Said the woman who walked on her own into hell," A devil stared at her with a smile, "You aren't running away,"

More cut her way, forcing her to stop, "We said stop, you aren't going anywhere,"

Eris lifted her fists, "I'm not going down without a fight,"

"Your choice," One of the devils rushed at her, thrusting his spear forward.

With a giggle, Eris jumped over his attack, stepping on his head and jumping away, using him as a platform to escape the devils surrounding her.

"This woman!" A devil growled, seeing that she deceived them that easily.

CRACK! As Eris ran away, a massive devil emerged from the ground, swinging a kick toward her face. She lifted her arms and blocked with a boxer's guard, getting flung back at a blinding speed.

"Spears!" The massive devil growled, "You're supposed to inform us when there is an intruder,"

The mid-rank devils shrunk back as he glared at them, a high-rank rage devil. He was to them what they were to the imps.

Eris stood, the clothes around her arms ripped apart and her goggles cracking, "One hit, and it's gone," She growled, seeing that her protective gear was at its last leg, breaking apart from a single hit.

"You're mine," The rage devil stared at Eris with a smile, "Those idiots couldn't even catch you, but speed is all that you have,"

The mid-rank devils surrounded her again. "I bet you're avoiding fights as your protective gear can't protect you from our attacks."

Eris sighed, seeing the skin around her arms bubble and peel off from the acidic air. Even her eyes started burning as a searing pain engulfed her body.

"And they are done, no more protection from the elements," She threw the goggles away.

A mid-rank devil pointed his spear at her neck, "I'll kill first to bind you to hell. You can then get used to air at your own pace," He giggled, "With your strength, it'll only be a few decades before you're able to maintain your form,"

Thud! Eris grabbed the devil by the face, her bloodied fingers digging into his skull. "Shut up," With one move, she crushed his body to the ground. "Nagging and nagging," She growled.

With the searing pain she was feeling, the last thing she could endure was an idiot babbling in her ear.

The mid-rank devils gasped, and even the high-rank devil took a step back. Now that she took her protective gears off and didn't care about hiding her power. They could feel it.

"It's a purple one!" The high-rank devil growled, and Eris flew at him, swinging her fist at his face. The mid-rank devils who stood beside her burned in a blast of plasma.

The rage devil lifted his arms to block, but Eris's punch blew right through his defense, caving his nose into his skull.

As the devil got blasted back, he did a flip, and his face healed almost instantly. ^This raw power, how did she go undetected?^

Eris conjured a plasma spear and swung it at the devil's face like a quarterstaff. He dodged the first strike, but she used the momentum to send more whistling hits after him.

CRACK! CRACK! CLAP! CRACK! Each hit messed up his hard skin and shattered his bones, like a steel rod smacking a tree trunk, cracking it, and peeling its bark off.

The devil ground his teeth, sacrificing a limb to block Eris's spear, and swung a fist at her face, hitting her in the nose.

"This..." He gasped, his knuckles cracking as Eris bled from her nose, "My husband punches harder than you," She swung her fist up, breaking his arm with a punch.

"He punches you?" The devil dodged to the side, "A sinner like him would rot in hell," He tried to swing a kick at her face, but she easily dodged, and flashed past him with a burst of plasma from beneath her feet.

"It's so bastard like you can't take me down," She stared back at the devil, a massive chunk of his torso missing.

Eris looked at the devil's heart in her hand, about to throw it, but then decided to chuck it in her pocket. ^Merlin could buy it.^

"My husband doesn't need to worry about my safety in this cruel world," She jumped away, rushing toward the portal as the hell's air melted her skin.

^My regeneration is keeping up thanks to my training, but I'll soon run out of blood. I can use holy magic to heal, but Lydia warned me that devils are sensitive to holy magic. Using it here is akin to calling every powerful fiend in this layer to hunt me.^

As she ran up the mountain, five deformed devils rushed toward her. ^More high-ranks? I guess they called for backups,^

She accelerated herself with plasma, trying to run past them. Her goal isn't to fight and win but to escape hell.

BAM! One of the devils lunged in her way, swinging a sword. ^He is faster than the one before. Like humans, being of the same rank doesn't mean they have equal speeds and strength.^ She dodged the sword, but the devil kicked her in the guts, sending her flying back.

The devil stared at his leg, "It hurt like kicking a stone," He growled, staring at Eris with a wide smile, "You're strong, aren't you?"

^I can easily beat them one-on-one, but facing multiple is a problem.^ Eris swung her arm, firing several plasma blasts at the devils to separate them.

The devils dodged the plasma blast, and Eris took the opportunity to lung at one of them, thrusting a plasma spear at his head, and pinning his skull to the ground. He won't be reviving anytime soon.

Seeing an empty exit, Eris flew as fast as she could, propelling herself forward with plasma.

CRACK! An arm emerged from the ground, grabbing her leg and throwing her back. ^Another devil like the first one,^ It was another rage devil, and more came after him. In the blink of an eye, she was surrounded by twenty high-rank devils.contemporary romance

"Give up, plasma woman," One of the devils said with a giggle, "You might be stronger than two of us, even a three, but you can't handle twenty," He clenched his fist, "It's the first time in a decade someone gave us troubles,"

With a smile on her face, Eris lifted her hands, putting them together and combing her fingers, "It's a gamble!"

Seeing the crazed smile on her face, the devils instantly knew they messed up getting this close to her. They saw that look thousands of times. When sinners spend thousands of years in her, their only wish becomes death.

^Sucidal maniac, she doesn't care if she dies?!^

[PLASMA EXPANSION: PURPLE SUN]

Plasma exploded from her body, burning all twenty devils at once before they could even run, but the blast resonated across the entire layer, calling all devils and drawing the attention of a certain voracious glutton. Eris knew that, and she didn't waste a second to blast as fast as she could toward the gate.

She could see the gate at the top of the mountain. ^I'm there!

^

CRACK! A devil emerged from behind the gate, punching Eris in the guts before she could reach it, blowing a hole in her torso.

"To think high-rank devils fell to you," He growled, looking at Eris, who hung on his arm that pierced her torso. "I'm the devil lord of Avernus. Did you really think I couldn't make it here in time after you unleashed that blast?"

Eris giggled, grabbing his face in her palms, "Yeah, I'm all out of blood. This hell really drains my power," Her eyes turned gold.

"Wait!" He gasped.

[Holy Expansion: Solar Domain]

With a crackle of golden lightning, a blast of blinding light illuminated Avernus. All devils could feel the powerful surge of holy magic as the devil lord burned to ash.

Thud! Eris fell on the ground, crawling toward the gate as her muscles melted from the hell's air. ^I need to, reach it...^

CRACK! The devil lord resurrected beside the gate, "Did you forget? We don't die," He said with all the devils she killed rising from the ground behind her, "But to kill me, an impressive feat. None would touch you beside me," He swung his fist at the gate, shattering it, but not before a faint green light rushed in.

The devil lord blinked, seeing a second woman, bleeding as her skin melted from hell, sitting beside Eris, "Go home, I'll take it from here," Zephyr put a crystal on Eris's head, and she got teleported out of hell.

"Got her out, but the gate is shattered," He giggled, "How long until they can create another gate? An hour at best?"

"With their current skills, I'd say like four hours," Zephyr stood, blood dripping across her skin.

"You're stuck here with us for four hours. Do you think you can survive and escape out of the gate?" He burst laughing, and so did the other devils behind Zephyr.

"You seem to misunderstood something," Veins bulged on Zephyr's forehead as her eyes glew with bright green light, "You're the ones stuck here with me for four hours,"
