The First Mythical Dragon: Harem System

'Shoot.' That was all Clint could muster inwardly.

He had not anticipated Ava moving that fast. He knew how quick she used to be as a human, sharp and agile, but this speed was something else entirely.

He had not even blinked before she appeared directly in front of him, teeth grinding as her jaw tightened, her fist swinging with immense force.

The punch smashed right into the newly turned demon's face before his brain could even process what happened.

The whole world froze.

The civilians a few metres away stopped breathing. Ava's gang members stared with their mouths wide open. Max paused mid step.

Even Jim, who had barely managed to sit upright, stiffened. For a brief heartbeat, it was as if the entire street held its breath.

Then lightning crackled sharply in the air.

A second later, a sound barrier breaking bang erupted as the ground beneath them split wide open.

The force behind Ava's strike blasted Clint's body over twenty metres away, sending him tumbling violently across the cracked street. The air itself looked torn apart.

"Woah! That is insane." Max yelped, eyes going wide as he watched Clint still rolling and bouncing like a kicked boulder.

'Yoo! The system said she was nerfed, so how is she still this strong? Damn it. If only I had a skill to view her stats. I want to see everything.'

His thoughts shifted again as he recalled something else.

'Speaking of which, the system said that as long as I am within five metres of my family members, I get a share of their kills.

Half of the XP. Jim killed twenty-five demon vessels and each one was worth two hundred XP. So I get a hundred for each. That is…'

[Two thousand five hundred XP earned.]

'Noice.' Max grinned inwardly, pleased, only for a loud bang to shake the air.

Snapping his gaze up, he saw Clint blasting forward again at frightening speed. In the blink of an eye, Clint appeared right in front of Ava.

"Screw you and your stupid powerup!" Clint roared. His fist shot forward with all his might, rocketing toward her face. Ava barely managed to pull her wings in front of her as a shield.

The punch connected with a terrifying bang. The ground cracked beneath them, chunks of stone breaking apart.

Ava slid a few inches backward, her teeth clenched, her eyes blazing.

"AHHHHH!" She screamed, rage spilling out as she snapped her wings outward with explosive force. Clint staggered back for just a moment.

It was all she needed.

She vanished in a blur, reappearing above him. Her fists clenched, lightning spiraling around her arms and crackling through the air.

"ARGHHHH!" she thundered as she crashed downward. Her fist drove straight through Clint's chest, slamming him violently into the ground.

The impact birthed a ten metre deep crater in an instant.

Dust burst outward. Clint choked as blood sprayed from his mouth, his void-like eyes widening in shock.

'Yoo. System, do you even understand what nerf means? I thought she would be weak enough to need my help.

But damn, this girl is terrifying. She is moving like a natural dragon,' Max thought, swallowing slightly.

"Yes, yes, Leader Ava, teach him a lesson!" one of the pincer gang members shouted with relief.

With the other demon vessels dead, they finally felt brave enough to say something.

"AHHH!" Ava screamed again, her voice full of raw fury.

She hammered her fists repeatedly into Clint's face, each strike landing faster than the last.

The ground trembled with every blow as she buried his head deeper into the crater. Dust shot upward.

The sound of bone cracking echoed across the area. Every punch felt like a thunderclap shaking the entire street.

And she did not stop.

Lightning danced around her arms and shoulders, her scales glimmering as she drove her fists down again and again. Clint's body twitched weakly beneath her, unable to keep up with the onslaught.

Max watched silently, eyes narrowed, a mixture of amusement and admiration flickering across his face.

"Die, die, die! Pay for all you did, for all the lives you took! Freaking pay for them all!" Ava screamed, her voice raw and thunderous.

She clapsed her hands together into one, lifting them high above her head, electricity crackling along her blue scales and around her wings.

In that fleeting moment, as she gathered her power, the demon's slithering tongue shot forward like a striking serpent.

It lashed at her arms with terrifying speed, making her yelp loudly. Pain shot through her as the cold, slimy appendage grazed her, leaving a stinging burn before…

BANG!

Clint's feet slammed into her abdomen with brutal force, lifting her body like a ragdoll and hurling her backward.

She streaked through the air, wings flaring frantically, her body slicing through the wind with blistering speed.

"Screw you!" Clint bellowed.

He erupted from the crater he had been trapped in moments ago, darting forward like a living arrow.

In a seamless motion, he appeared directly in front of the hurtling Ava.

His claws shot out, aiming to dig into her face.

Her scales, hardened and shimmering, deflected his attack, but he didn't falter. He slammed his feet into the ground with all his strength, bringing her to a sudden halt.

Before she could catch her breath, he smashed her into the earth with monstrous force.

A deafening bang reverberated through the street.

The ground exploded beneath her, sending dust and debris soaring in all directions. In a flash, both dragon and demon emerged from the cloud, the dust swirling around them like a storm.

Without pause, Clint slammed her into another part of the cracked terrain, shattering it further.

"You went through a small change and you think you have the power to go against me? Even the one that turned you can't touch me, you bitch!" Clint roared, his voice echoing with fury.

"Hey, that's disrespectful to me," Max shouted, frowning.

He stayed firmly in place, his arms crossed over his bare abdomen, watching intently as the clash unfolded.

"AHHHH!" Clint screamed again, hoisting Ava by her face. Every muscle bulged under her immense strength as he hurled her backward.

She shot through the air, her wings flaring and beating furiously, slicing through the wind, her speed breaking the sound barrier.

Before she could regain control, Clint was already closing in.

His jaws opened wide, shooting a stream of acidic goo at her. The corrosive liquid hurtled forward at deadly velocity, aiming to engulf her entirely.

"Tch!" Ava scoffed, her voice a mixture of fury and determination. Her wings flapped violently, slowing her descent and stabilizing her body.

Her mouth opened impossibly wide, crackling arcs of lightning erupting from within. In an instant, a massive ball of raw electricity launched forward like a bolt of pure energy.

The two attacks collided midair with a cataclysmic explosion. Lightning met acidic goo in a clash of destructive forces, sending a scorching gust of hot air swirling outward.

Dust, smoke, and the stench of ozone filled the area as the explosion rippled, shaking the ground and rattling the nearby buildings.
