The dragon's harem

Chapter 826: Infinite Chaos



With the first country finally convinced to pull its army away, the girls started heading to the next, hoping to finish this all in time. And while they were going, another huge battle was taking place in a faraway land, one being was about to prove a point.

Lucy waved her hand, sending a wave of Gojo's void at Boronos. "I want to go home, just get back to the grave." She shouted with a wide smile white on Gojo's body.

Boronos dodged the wave of the void and formed a counter. The attack looked slower than he expected from Gojo's power. As an undead expert in souls, he did notice that it wasn't Gojo, but someone else, it was the little girl who was running around the battlefield casting strange magic.

Boronos disappeared in a smokescreen of toxic necrotic gas and teleported to Lucy, grabbing her by the neck. ^Soul swapping magic is quite dangerous and useful. This little girl thinks getting his body is a boon; I'll prove it to be a curse. If I were to kill this body she'll die and He'll be locked in that fragile body of her. A

"My luck is coming back."

As expected, taking Gojo's body indeed gave Lucy a huge boost to her fighting power, but she had no idea about to control it to the fullest. She could use the basic powers of the void, unleashing it randomly with each swing of her arms, and she was still as tough but had no way of guessing how to compress matter or achieve anything that Gojo is known for.

Gojo stood in Lucy's body in the middle of the undead, looking at his hands with a passive face. ^I see...unlike us dragons, human skin doesn't emit that much mana, that's why need to use arcane focuses like staves, wands, and crystal balls. I'm used to using my scales to emit magic, and this body is quite fickle to deal with. I was probably asking too much wanting her to cast magic with her bare hands. ^

A large death knight approached him, he was the one that Lucy controlled before, and now he's angry. "You little bug. You dared to cast that magic upon me!" He growled, glaring down at Gojo.

"Wait a moment. I'm thinking." Gojo tapped the death knight's arm and kept thinking without a care in the world, leaving the eldritch monster baffled, flabbergasted, and utterly confused.

^The reason me and Arad rip our shirts when fighting is to expose as much of our scales as possible. That makes it easier to cast magic as we can output more mana at once. I can do that now to increase my throughput, but that increase would be about nothing, and Lucy would kill me later...^ He lifted his hands, ^How about this.^

The death knight behind him growled and swung his sword, trying to slash him in half.

CLANG! The thing that fell wasn't Gojo{Lucy}'s head, it was the death knight's arm. "Didn't I tell you to wait?" Gojo stared back at the now terrified death knight. His output lowered by a lot, but he's still a dragon, even though bound in a weak human body. Just like how Arad was in Merlin's labyrinth, losing the majority of his draconic power is forcing Gojo to grow more efficient with magic.

Gojo smiled, "I see, wild magic only triggers when a spell isn't cast perfectly. Most wizards only achieve 70-80% quality on their spells, not all fireballs are the same."

Since Gojo is only working with a minuscule amount of magic, he can watch it all and make sure his cast is always perfect, preventing the random wild magic from activating even in this necrotic magic-infested area.

"So..." In the ninth second, Gojo intentionally failed a spell for a wild magic activation, and he got one random effect. Strangely enough, he didn't hit the jackpot but hit the same spell that Lucy hit. Swapping souls with someone he can see for ten seconds.

He could feel the magic about to rush out of his eyes, and he tried to hold it back. Like a sneeze, holding it was annoying, but possible for him. One second passed and he kept staring at his own body in the distance. The moment he swapped back to his body after Lucy's first cast ended, she went back to her body, and the spell that wild magic that Gojo was holding got unleashed, swapping them back again in the blink of an eye.

Gojo intentionally extended the duration of the swap; he needed more time to test something. But in the moment of the swap, Boronos managed to land a huge hit on Lucy who was confused after getting swapped out and back in. "Hope she doesn't die."

Gojo put his hands together, a smile crossing his face as his eyes burned with a blue flame of magic. The color of mana is blue and that is what seeps from his eyes, he's preparing to cast several spells at once.

To save on mana, Gojo cast several useless spells that only emit a small amount of mana and do nothing, but activate the wild magic if they failed and he indeed made them fail.

Tens and hundreds of small spells cast a second, all activating the wild magic, leading to a stream of random chaos.

Gojo turned into a speed and got set ablaze as some of the death knights around him started singing and laughing, gravity got reversed as he turned into a plant with human legs, and quickly a blinding light burst from his body as a unicorn appeared out of nowhere and puked rainbows.

All the undead around Gojo got buffed with a random spell, and his left leg got twisted and crushed, but in the next second, he got fully healed with another spell. This risky contentious cast of wild magic kept going for two seconds until Gojo hit the first Jackpot.

Lucy has over a thousand random effects to her wild magic, upon hitting the Jackpot, several things change. First, some of the wild magic stabilizes for a short moment, removing a bad effect from the list and exchanging it with a simple good effect, like a full heal, mana restoration, or straight elemental damage. The second effect is that the chance of hitting a jackpot doubles from 1/1000+ to 2/1000+ possible results.

With how fast Gojo was triggering the wild magic, it didn't take him another second to hit the jackpot again, thus the chances doubled again from 2/1000+ to 4/1000+

The more the Jackpot chance increased, the more Gojo managed to hit it with his rapid cast. The chance quickly jumped up, 4/1000+, 8/1000+, 16/1000+, 32/1000+, 64/1000+, 128/1000+, 256/1000+, 512/1000+, 1000+/1000+

At this moment, Gojo started hitting the jackpot each time, removing a bad effect from the random effect pool with each wild magic activation, reaching a point where there were only good effects and jackpots. But, Gojo wasn't about to stop, he kept casting until he got the third eye like Lucy did, allowing him to choose from two effects.

Gojo put his hands together as his third eye flashed with magic and he started switching effects, he'll choose a good effect and a jackpot after it, then another good effect then returned to the jackpot to keep the rush going.

This was the ultimate state of wild magic, abused by a void dragon, [Wild Magic Expansion: Infinite Chaos] He started teleported straight to Boronos and grabbed him by the head. "This body is quite fun." Gojo smiled and opened his mouth to unleash a massive lightning breath. Lucy saw Gojo in her body, burning it with raw wild magic, "Wait! Don't abuse my body like that! What are you even doing?"

"Showing you the potential I've seen in your power."

The effects of infinite chaos were simple, all of Lucy's good wild magic effects activate on herself, and all the negative effects are directed toward a target that she chooses, all happening as fast as she can cast, with a jackpot between each two activations to keep the rush. Of course, with the third eye of wisdom, she can choose what to do with the activations. The only downside to this expansion is the extreme pressure placed on the body due to the surplus of mana. When the effect of immortality effect wears out, a deadly wave of exhaustion could kill her. Gojo knew this well, so he intended to end the expansion as quickly as possible, and immediately support Lucy's body with stamina and healing potions.

As Boronos's body fell, charred from the surprise lightning attack, Obelisk lunged in and opened her jaws, swallowing him whole.

Boronos tried to fight back but with how damaged he is, regenerating from Obelisk's damage proved useless. After a minute of struggling in her stomach, his phylactery cracked and he got

destroyed, his power nourishing her.

Gojo looked at Lucy as she was in his body, "This is going to hurt a lot. So hold for a second." He swapped back to her and she couldn't maintain the expansion, it ended, and her whole body burned as if she'd been beaten to a pulp with steel bats. Due to the sudden pain, she lost consciousness immediately, and Gojo forced several potions down her throat.

When she woke up an hour later, she was back in the Arctic kingdom, asleep in her bed with Liliana sitting on a chair beside her, reading a book.

"Liliana... what did..." She tried to speak, but a severe headache hit her like a hammer. "Damn

it, Gojo...I'll remember this." She growled.

"Gojo brought you here. You were unconscious and severely exhausted, what in the hell happened?" Liliana looked at her with a worried face.

"Gojo took me to watch a fight with an elder lich and I ended up needing to fight. I've used my wild magic and pulled an effect that allowed me to swap bodies, so I swapped with Gojo since he was the strongest. Not only I could barely use any of his powers, but he abused my wild

magic to the limit and pulled off an expansion."

Lucy looked down with a sad face, "How could he use my power better than me?"

"You said he abused your wild magic, I say he abused your body to the limit. Humans have unconscious limiters on their bodies, so they won't damage or kill themselves." Liliana smiled. "I'm sure you can pull off what he did, but you're most likely to stop when it gets too painful. Gojo can push through the pain better than what most people can,"

Liliana extended her hand to her, "Can I get a finger?"

"Why?" Lucy gave extended her hand.

Liliana started pushing down with her nails on Lucy's finger, making her cry, "It hurt

Liliana!"

"Gojo won't flinch from just this, try to ignore it and hit that pot in the wind with a wind

spell."

"I'll try....AWAW! Stop, I can't focus!"

"This is the point. Gojo occasionally throws you to fight monsters alone for you to gather

experience like this. Soon, you'll get used to pain and exhaustion." Liliana giggled. "Just take

it slowly. Stand proud, you are strong."

CRACK! The door tore off its hinges as Gug rushed in, "Lucy cried!" She looked at her with a

worried face.

"I'm fine, Gug. You don't need to worry," Lucy looked behind her, "Did Gojo leave?"

"Yeah." Liliana replied.

"I punched him." Gug nodded with enthusiasm.

"He said that he has to go. Three large divine signals moved out of Croc city and are heading

in the direction of Arad's wives. He wanted to investigate it." Liliana looked at the window

with a worried face.
