Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur wasn't content about having a single technique like that. Even if the scorching sun sword technique was overbearing and lethal, it wasn't enough to deal with different situations in the fight.

Arthur knew the sole weakness about this technique, which was water and ice. Fire was considered the nemesis of these two energies, and if he was destined to face foes experienced in these two aspects, he would struggle.

Not to mention the biggest threat he would face up there was not the enemies, but the sturdy defenses of the prison itself.

He didn't know what the prison was like, but he had a thought about it and had few ideas regarding that prison.

In his eyes, the prison would be on par with the strongest castles and forts he ever faced so far, if not being the strongest out of all.

The presence of a defensive shield was a must for such a prison to exist. But the most troublesome thing would be the arrays. If there were arrays affecting personal strength or manipulating with elements, then such overbearing technique wouldn't have the chance to show its full potential.

Arthur was just trying to think about everything his enemies would use against him. At that place, his highest advantage known for his enemies would be nullified even before the fight would start.

And that was his own army of originals. Even if his enemies never knew about his large increase of originals in his army, they knew that prison was built to contain the originals inside and deprive them of any powers.

Having arrays was a must if they wanted to achieve such an effect on a large scale. In Arthur's mind, the strongest feature that made his originals scary was their ability to manipulate and control the forces of nature.

So if the prison had arrays, then a large number of them would be focused on depriving such control of those inside it. And for a technique depending on the fire element like his scorching sun sword technique, then being there was like a shark outside the ocean.

Arthur didn't want that. So his next selection of a technique wasn't offensive, or defensive, but rather auxiliary and supportive.

"The world of gems technique isn't considered the strongest at all, but it was once considered as the most suitable technique to support other techniques…"

He thought about two techniques actually, one that could antagonize any outside control or affection over the space around him, and this technique.

Despite having a technique that could antagonize the arrays, he didn't select it. After all, his own ability wasn't stronger than the entire energy supporting the grand arrays up there.

If such a contest erupted between the two, it would turn into an attrition war and would eventually be his loss. Not to mention he would be mostly burdened with supporting his technique and wouldn't get the chance to perform in that fight.

And that wasn't a thing he would desire in that war.

On the contrary to that, his selected supportive technique was famous for being autonomous. As long as his own energy never depleted, it would continue to perform at its highest peak without pause.

The world of gems technique wasn't as simple as the scorching sun sword technique. This one required prior preparation for almost an hour, during which Arthur would constantly do hand seals and inject his own energy inside this technique.

In his eyes, it was like crafting. He would pour energies to form a myriad of big seven gems, each representing one force of nature.

Nature was boundless, but if there was such intervention from outside like at that prison, then depending on it was pointless. That was what Arthur thought about.

Replacing the forces of nature to flood from these gems was his answer to this obstacle. This would be limited to a small space around him, not exceeding a hundred meters, but it was enough to make him use his own techniques unhindered.

As for the problem of having one energy linked to this technique, he decided to select his dragonair energy. After all, replenishing dragonair energy was simply done by eating his stored monster meat. Comparing this with the replenishment of elixirs to his spiritual energy, his dragonair energy was much better.

Not to mention his limit on elixirs at the moment, he had an army of chefs ready at his empire. Just a simple order to Gege made her shift a lot of them inside her garden world and they were now cooking his desired meat.

Elixirs couldn't be made except by himself. It was one of the many limitations such a way had to replenish his spiritual energy.

On another note, elixirs left behind traces of impure energies inside his body. Not like the meat which left nothing behind. So overusing elixirs would be detrimental for him in the future.

As he decided to use the world of gems technique, he descended again to the ground and took four hours only to contemplate it. This technique's difficulty came mainly from the process of forming it, the long time of its preparation, and lastly from the large pressure it exerted over his body during its use.

As he reopened his eyes, he started to consider another technique in his mind.

"I have an offensive one, a supportive one, it's time to select a defensive technique…"

When he came to this aspect, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. In his mind, the past cultivation world seemed on a parallel level with this current mage world.

But if he wanted to describe the two worlds by simple words, then this mage world depended upon explosive offense, while his past world focused mainly on impregnable defense.

What was the use of big strength and might offense if it was faced with a defensive technique that nothing could penetrate through?

So when he came to choose a defensive technique for that battle, he was at a loss out of the large number of high end defensive techniques he was familiar with.
