The dragon's harem

Chapter 314 Getting A Mentor

?

"Get out of my head!" Arad growled, and Doma laughed. "Sorry, but I can't even if I wanted to," She smiled, flicking her fingers and releasing Mom.

"You can Call me Doma, the witch of curses." She jumped off Mom's back and walked forward, "I was born six hundred and seventy-three years in the past," She ignored Arad's angry grunts and started telling her life story.

After getting kicked out of the elvish kingdom, my mother was branded a monster, so she had to live alone. On her way out, she stole a slave from the city and ran with him as her assistant. That was my father, the one you fought in the garden.

Surprisingly I was born just a few years later, wielding my mother's powers, and I got a special boon, the ability to understand curses by nature since my mother was a curse user.

Curses are a type of magic that leverages double-edged effects. Petrification was developed first to preserve sick people for the future. But it caused most of them to suicide after getting freed decades later due to mental degradation, and staying in the dark for a long time couldn't be healthy.

By the age of twelve. I already mastered hundreds of curses and even developed my own curse. Divination is the one I made.

Knowing forbidden knowledge is something the goddess of magic kept warning people about, as it's only forbidden since it breaks the one who learn it.

Using my curse, I looked for a way to prolong my life, only to further understand the root of curses and how to dispel the greatest curse placed upon us by the gods, death.

"It was then that I saw you," Doma smiled, looking into the darkness and seeing Arad's face, "A dragon with a curse engraved on his soul and race, we two could help each other and benefit from our combined abilities,"

"What are babbling about?" Arad growled.

"The reason you race repel each other is because of a curse. It will take a long time for me to understand it and longer to break it, but I can do it. In exchange, I want to live inside you until I manage to create a powerful enough body to host me, and your void will be really helpful,"

"How did you get in my head in the first place?" Arad grunted, grasping his head.

"The ring. The moment you woke up, I had already invaded your mind. I only needed to absorb some curses to manifest like this." Doma smiled, "Don't worry, I would have already killed your soul and taken over your body if I wanted to. But I'm here so both of us can help each other."

Thud! Arad sat down, sighting, "Fine, I don't think I can kick you out of my head. So what do you want?"

"I already told you," Doma smiled, "I need curses to regain my power, so I would be grateful if you hunted them down for me. In exchange, I will teach you how to use curses and the true way to use your void,"

"You can teach me about the void?" Arad gasped.

"Yeah, I knew I would be meeting you, so I studied your magic. I should prove more useful than this curse behind me," She pointed at Mom.

"Mom isn't a curse!" Arad growled.

"No, she is," Doma looked dumbfounded, "She's a consciousness fragment tied to your soul. Since she can both help or lead you astray, she is a curse."

"So it's just a definition," Arad sighed.

"I will make the first move," Doma smiled, "At your current level, you're strong for normal people and monsters, but weak as hell as a void dragon." Doma smiled, "Let's start with the void itself. Do you know what it is?"

"Nothingness," Arad replied.I think you should take a look at

"True, and where does it exist?"

"Where nothing exists," Arad said, lifting an eyebrow.

"Wrong!" Doma grunted, crossing her arms, "You couldn't be far from the truth! You're a failure void dragon,"

"You're voice is pissing me off,"

"Deal with it! We're living together now, married for life!" Doma smiled, jumping around and lifting her hands up, "Void exists within everything else. It exists where matter exists, inside it, around it, and with its very composition."

"That sounds wrong," Arad stood, looking at Aella and the rest, "We should build a camp around here, I want to rest for a bit,"

"Yeah," Aella nodded, looking around confused, "I expect an explanation later,"

"Yeah," Arad nodded with a smile.

"Don't flirt with other girls while we're talking," Doma grunted inside his head, tapping the ground of his mind with her fist.

"Fine, fine. Voids exist everywhere, right?" Arad closed his eyes.

"Everything is made of small particles and void is what holds them together. Even those particles are full of void. If you controlled the void, you control the world at a particle level, something even magic can't achieve."

"I don't don't understand," Arad scratched his head, "Are saying that nothing exists within something?"

"This is the best I can do. The rest is up to your imagination." Doma smiled, "Once you comprehend that, I will teach you more. Taking things slowly is important since you will kill everyone if you lost control."

"Fine, but what about curses?"

"You already have multiple. Vampirism, Lycanthropy, Mom, and now me." Doma replied, standing in Arad's vision like a ghost, "Albeit, you can't control me or Mom,"

"Not like I can fully control vampirism or Lycanthropy either. To me they more like skills and spells that are something to worry about controlling." Arad sighed.

"That's your biggest problem," Doma put her hand on Arad's head, "You can't expect power without learning about your abilities. You should seek vampire and Werewolves books and literature, find powerful people to train with."

"And who are those people you're talking about?"

Doma scratched her chin, "I will teach you about voids and curses, but I don't know much about the other two. Shall we search for a master to teach you?"

"I guess, it would make sense for me to train,"
