Demonic Dragon: Harem System

Chapter 106: Xenovia knows Xyn's true face



"M-Mistress, you should calm down a bit…" Xyn tried to argue with her, but it was impossible. Xenovia was out of her mind, and even Xyn felt a little intimidated by such a reaction…

Xenovia had always been a calm and serene woman, but since Strax came back into her life after so many years, she seemed to have let go of all her coldness, replaced by a burning flame of passion. On one hand, Xyn, who knew her loneliness more than anyone else, was truly happy to see that she was finally beginning to melt that ice-cold mind she had… but on the other… It was frightening…

"Why are human women like this?" she thought, as if she didn\'t know the strange temperaments of Ouroboros and Tiamat, who were sealed with her in the same place for years… Before Xenovia\'s mother awakened Xyn and made a contract.

"Be quiet! An old woman like you doesn\'t know how I\'m feeling!" Xenovia shouted, she was really nervous to call Xyn old…

"Oh… You damned…" Xyn murmured. She could accept Ouroboros bad-mouthing her because she was stronger, but her own mistress? No, this wouldn\'t stand. "Wake up to life, woman!" Xyn shouted as she appeared in the form of a woman… For the first time in all this time by her side, Xenovia saw Xyn\'s humanoid form…

"W-What?" Xenovia stuttered, her shock evident as she saw Xyn\'s true form. The expectations she had of a noble and serene figure shattered as she faced the rebellious and imposing figure before her.

Xyn, in her humanoid form, was an… exotic vision? Xenovia didn\'t know how to react; she just stared… Her arms, slightly muscular and well-defined, contrasted with her pale, translucent skin, adorned with intricate tattoos of flames and ancient ideograms that seemed to pulse like flames.

The combination gave her skin the appearance of pure jade, smooth and flawless like a work of art sculpted with precision.

Her grayish hair, with a subtle touch of purple, framed a face marked by gothic makeup: dark shadows highlighted her piercing eyes, and her lips were adorned with dark lipstick, creating a dramatic contrast with her paleness. She was a hypnotic fusion of the ethereal and the subversive.

Her leather top, tight and revealing, accentuated her bust and exposed an incredibly defined abdomen, with a jacket draped over her shoulders, loose in the air. Completing the look, black leather pants hugged her curves, and heavy boots decorated with spikes emphasized her nearly two-meter height.

"Damn~ If Strax sees you, he will abandon me." Xenovia said immediately, even she was feeling the charm of the older, cold woman coming from Xyn… She threw herself into a nearby armchair and looked at Xenovia. "What? Never seen a materialized spirit?" Xyn questioned while placing a hand on her lips, and Xenovia saw some kind of glove, but they were clearly her disguised claws.

"What is it?" Xyn questioned with a mischievous smile, "Is the princess afraid that I will steal her half-brother? Please, I like strong men," Xyn said with disdain and mockery, using a hand of black flames to pull a glass and wine from the room\'s wall.

"Why did you appear like this?" Xenovia questioned after sighing. It was the first time this crazy spirit had shown herself so "open" to dialogue. "I thought it was better now, you saw Tiamat doing her show stopping Darius, I think it\'s good that you know I can also do something like that," she said while pouring wine into the glass.

"You know, I\'ve been with you for a while, why don\'t you stop with that scared face? I\'m not going to attack you or anything, you are my contractor. I just wanted to show up after you called me OLD," she said with a mischievous smile on her face, "Now… who is the old one?" Xyn questioned with her bluish eyes shining at her. "Huh?

N-No, you are in great shape, believe me!" Xenovia stuttered, for some reason she was really intimidated by her appearance…

"But please, don\'t show yourself in front of Strax like this, he will want you for himself." Xenovia said, now genuinely concerned. "Well, I don\'t doubt it, he got those two bitches," Xyn replied, drinking the wine with a mischievous look, she was teasing Xenovia after all, she liked to play with her mistress.

"What do you mean he got the two of them?" Xenovia questioned, making the room\'s atmosphere tense. Her face darkened like an abyss, and finally, she let out all her possessiveness. She had held back for a long time, even knowing Strax had three wives, but now…

"That\'s why I\'m here. Let\'s talk about him. Sit down." Xyn ordered, she seemed to want to discuss some things about Strax. And Xenovia didn\'t have much to think about; if it was about him, she wanted to listen closely, and so she did.

"So, what did you notice when Strax came back from the Garden?" Xyn questioned while savoring the sweet taste of alcohol, something she hadn\'t tasted in millions of years. "He… was stronger…" she said calmly, recalling all the events; after all, it was a lot to process. "He advanced in some strange way, but what bothered me was his physique." Xyn said, looking into Xenovia\'s eyes.

"I already knew he had a unique physique, but his physique… was compatible with Ouroboros and Tiamat, to the point of reaching assimilation with one of them." she said. Xenovia knew what assimilation meant…

Assimilation is the final stage of a contract, where the spirit decides to risk its existence by merging with its contractor. For something like this to happen is extremely rare; despite the contracts being fair, they do not involve the sacrifice of either party. For a spirit to do this, it must be completely in sync, body and soul, with its host…

"You\'re saying that those two…" Xenovia murmured, "Yes, they are interested in him in a much more intimate way. Well, it\'s not surprising, if his physique is so highly compatible it only means one thing…" Xyn murmured. Even she didn\'t want to believe what she was saying, but she spoke anyway.

"Strax has a Dragon Physique." As she spoke, the room fell silent for a few seconds while Xenovia tried to process what she had just heard, but Xyn didn\'t let her think. "Ouroboros and Tiamat are primordial dragons, true dragons, not like those of Caelum, who are derived from a race of dragons that fused with humans… In other words…" Xyn paused…

"His physique is of celestial level." they said in unison. Xenovia knew something was wrong with Strax, she always knew.

He spent years unable to cultivate, and suddenly he managed to break through mana condensation, expert, and now was already at the master level, all this without even properly understanding cultivation. She knew this; she always knew. She trained him precisely so he could understand what strength was, but this went completely beyond her expectations.

Not just one Primordial Dragon, but two—that was simply insane. Insane was an understatement; it only showed that the man was never meant to be a failure… Xenovia knew this, knew very well what it was about and what she needed to do to ensure he continued well, but with this, she felt a great headache...

"That crazy man… he already knew this." she said, recalling in her memories all the times they faced each other and he already seemed to know how to deal with her when it came to mana… Something all dragons had, something that made her wonder how he learned so quickly without even having complete control or enough mana for that?

"Dragon Eyes… that\'s why he\'s evolving so fast, the extreme mana control he doesn\'t even realize he has." Xenovia said. She had many questions, but now part of her curiosity was satisfied.

"Well, I don\'t know about dragon eyes, but that man is truly crazy. Managing to put Ouroboros on a leash like that... I don\'t even want to imagine what the spiritual world of those three is like; I\'m amazed they haven\'t requested a Master-Servant contract to be pampered.

Just looking at them, I felt the lust; whatever power this man has, it\'s a great one, you know?" Xyn said, she really seemed interested in knowing more, not about Strax but what happened for him to have received such primordial fortune.

Note: Xyn\'s appearance will only be on the novel\'s Discord to avoid copyright issues, as she is inspired by a character named Zoye from a Chinese game called Path to Nowhere.
