The dragon's harem

Chapter 661 Zephyrus Anemoi Enlil of Mei

Sensing Zephyr's magic spiking in the blink of an eye, the devil lord of the first layer jumped back, lifting his arms to protect his head. "Monster!"

A shockwave exploded from Zephyr's body, sending hundreds of compressed wind blades everywhere, dicing all the high-rank devils before they realized.

"Laying a hand on one of my little children," Zephyr growled, "You're getting on this grandma's nerves," A green crown of pure magic emerged on her head as veins bulged across her body.

Zephyr's nails extended forward to inch-long green claws, and green tattoos engulfed her arms and legs, inscriptions of a long-forgotten wind magic. Her butterfly wings doubled, growing larger as a violent tornado emerged around her out of nowhere, wrecking the whole mountain with sharp blades of compressed winds like a titanic blender.

"This magic, queen of the wind spirits. The tempest witch, Zephyrus Anemoi Enlil of Mei. Why is someone like you here!" The devil lord growled, flying away from the tornado.

"Curse of eternal death, slumber and fate." He waved his hands, conjuring a crimson staff and pointing it toward the tornado, "Sleep for all eternity!"

[Lost Time] The curse that gets people into accidents and seals them away in a coma for untold years.

A massive purple lightning bolt flashed from the devil lord's staff, piercing the tornado and hitting Zephyr, causing half of her body to darken and start dripping with purple blood.

The devil lord laughed, "Even you won't survive a direct curse from, and even more so since we're in hell. It's your fault for challenging me in my domain,"

Zephyr giggled, the tornado shifting as half of her green wind turned purple. Her left eye twisted, turning back and only leaving it white as she stared at the devil lord, a smile crossing her face.

"Do you know who my father was?" The devil lord's curse twisted inside her body, burning and merging into her wind magic as Zephyr flew into the sky.

"Wait? You're already cursed?!" The devil gasped, seeing Zephyr lift her hands.

"Father was Focalor, the evil Djinn of destructive wind," She lifted her hands, "Grandma was also the mother spirit Mei," With one half of her wind cursed, the other half turned blessed with gushing divine magic.

"Wind brings both fortune and misfortune. I have more curses and divine magic in my blood than I ever wished to have," Zephyr's tornado turned into a light show of holy magic and curses, ripping the hell's ground from it's base, ripping the ground part and throwing it everywhere.

"Why is someone like you even born?!" The devil lord cried as Zephyr swung her arms down, blasting him and half of the layer into a violent tempest.

Burned by both holy magic and curses, the devil lord's body quickly ripped apart. But it didn't take him long to resurrect again, finding Zephyr flying over where he emerged.

"Already resurrected?" She clenched a fist, "You devil never suffer in hell like sinners, now I'm making this your hell,"

The devil lord gasped, running away, "Why is a woman like you even born into this world?" With one swing of his hand, all of Avernus's devils rushed toward them.

"Kill her!"

The devils couldn't even approach Zephyr, who stood in the middle of a violent tornado, using her wind to cut the devil lord into minced meat.

After an hour of wreaking havoc on the first layer of hell, and killing the devil lord almost a hundred times, Zephyr stopped, lifting him by the hair.

"I was born to balance the wind of the world, and I already finished that. My story ended, and I already retired into giving elves contracts and granting them power for fun and to pass time until I die of old age," She smiled, "But now, I found grandchildren to care for. I'm back in the game,"

She threw him across the layer with a burst of violent wind, exploding like a shockwave from her hand.

"That's enough," A deep voice came from deep underground, and Zephyr flew away. The earth exploded, sending dirt and debris into the sky as a massive eight-headed dragon emerged, even the palms of her hands were as big as mountains, making Zephyr look like a speck of dust staring at the titanic existence.

Zephyr giggled, "Look who is here. Did the noise wake you up?"

"I was already awake long before that half-purple dragon walked in this layer," The drakaina's heads twisted, and she glared at Zephyr with a massive red head.

"I came since you're becoming a bit of a problem," She said.

"Tiamat, the goddess of all chromatic dragons." Zephyr stared at her, "Do you think I fear you? I already lived long enough to not care about death,"

"I do not expect you to fear me," Tiamat replied, smiling, "Like you, I'm an old lady trying to live my life," She looked around, "It's becoming quite annoying to protect them from your winds,"

Zephyr looked around, seeing the small imps and sinners engulfed in balls of stone. "To them, I'm a walking terror, but since they got the courage to pray to me, I'm not letting them down,"

"I see," Zephyr sighed, stopping her storm and tornados from wrecking Avernus. "I'll not inconvenience another old bag like myself,"

Tiamat sat down like a massive muscular dog, her tail fading into the horizon of Avernus, "My children already wiped most of the dream walkers out of the mortal world. And I gained one priestess," Tiamat giggled, "It's thanks to that kid Arad. Give him my thanks and tell him that he can rely on me if he needs help with something that doesn't disturb the cosmic flow," She smiled, ^We'll. I might be his mother-in-law soon,^

"He won't understand that," Zephyr flew up to look Tiamat in the eyes, her whole body bleeding from the hell's acidic air. "He isn't old enough to get what it means,"

"One day, he'll be as old as you," Tiamat started laughing, "Good luck dealing with the devil's contract. I'm going back to my work,"

As Tiamat turned, her body disappeared into a massive elemental chaos, leaving a massive charred hole on the ground, with a single hell portal standing at the center.

Zephyr smiled, floating down, "At least, I'm not staying in this place any longer," She approached the gate, looking back as the devils she killed regenerated, "The dragon goddess saved you. Next time, you won't be as lucky,"

Zephyr walked through the hell gate, appearing in the middle of Merlin's lab where they sent Eris.

"Wait!" Merlin gasped in the back. "You're back? You can conjure hell gates?"

"AHHH!" Zephyr sighed, her body deflating into her fairy size as the wind coming from her mouth sent her flying like a balloon, landing on the table on her back. "I'm hungry!" She cried, her stomach rumbling like an engine.

"Hungry?" Merlin looked closer at Zephyr, seeing that the wounds and scars on her body from the hell's air already healed, getting her back in shape.Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on N(o)vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.nᴇt

"What did happen there?"

"Nothing important." Zephyr waved her hand her eyes closed as she deflated even further as if melting on the table. ^Exhusted...^ "Just taught the devils there a lesson about respecting their elders,"

"Eris had a devil lord magic on her wound. You know what kind of monster that is. How did you deal with him." Merlin stared at her.

"A purple dragon made a massive ploy to steal my power, an idiot monk kept chasing me, and the whole church respects me as a god even though I'm not one since I allowed them and the elves to build kingdoms on my domain." Zephyr looked at Merlin with one eye, "Humans really forget quickly. If you're a wizard then search about Zephyrus Anemoi Enlil of Mei."

"I know you're the wind spirit," Merlin stared at her.

"The great elemental spirit is the job we took after retiring. It's like knowing someone with the hobby they picked in their late years rather than their career,"

"I give it a look," Merlin replied, "You aren't some kind of evil demon or something?"

"Nah, I'm but a ball of joy and happiness," Zephyr gave Merlin a thumb up, "And an empty stomach," She started floating, "I'll go find something to eat far away."

Seeing Zephyr about to leave, Merlin tried to stop her, "Can't you find something to eat in the forest? Arad might've made it his domain, but it's still filled with monsters,"

"I'll destroy the ecosystem before I'm half-full," Zephyr flew out of the window, mumbling, "And I wanted to save that for Vlad. Now I'm hungry again. At least those devils weren't worth using my expansion on,"

Merlin stared at the window for a few seconds before rushing deeper into her lab toward the room where Eris was being kept for treatments. As expected from a vampire, just giving her some blood was enough to heal most of her wounds, but she was still out of mana and would need to sleep to recover that.

"Zephyr is back, so no need to worry," Merlin said with a smile, even though Eris was asleep. She then waved her hand, and a small magic circle appeared in front of her.

"Aella? Do you hear me?"

"Yes,"

"Zephyr is back, but she's out eating,"

"I know. I felt her magic. Was she injured?"

"It was, but a few scratches probably managed to outrun the devils with her wind magic."

"How about the magic?"

"Linked, we can spy on the devil," Merlin smiled, "The devil's next target is... Prince Charlie. To stop the devil's plan, our easiest way is to have you assassinate a farm girl in the capital,"
