Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

As for the prison itself, it wasn't located inside that gray land, but in another land that looked like an exact copy of the great world he just conquered.

The two lands looked identical to each other, facing each other and forming the ground and skies of each land. Arthur felt like passing through a separate membrane, separating two dimensions from each other.

Yes, this prison world was situated in another dimension, a dimension where the lands he previously conquered were barren and destroyed, with no speck of life appearing as far as he could see.

As for the other land standing above his head, suspending miraculously like it defied gravity, it was filled with a strange mist that covered up what lay deep inside it.

"Gege, can you scan that land?" Arthur didn't hurry to move as he calmly asked. First he got to know his current circumstances, not blindly charging inside his enemy trap.

As Gege answered, more of his forces were getting here in large numbers, standing around in daze and amazement.

They were all intelligent people. After getting over their first shock, they started to get the same feeling as Arthur; this was a dimensional world that was parallel to the world they came from.

Unlike the pocket worlds that would hide entire worlds inside, this dimensional world was rather unique. It seemed like time flowed here in different ways, and history that happened in the real world seemed to go on another track here.

Instead of the lavish green forests and world brimming with life and many creatures including man, this world seemed to stagnate after the loss of the originals, not even taking a single step forward.

The scenes appearing in the vision of everyone told them the world beneath their feets was the place of a great war. Even the death energy filling the ground and air was so tangible that it could be touched.

'The mirror tree can't see past that thick fog, but she said it looks like miasma,' Gege said before adding, 'this place… what exactly happened here?'

Arthur kept his silence and his own theories to himself. He knew jumping out to conclusions wasn't the right decision. He needed to get more knowledge and test waters first.

Yet from just standing here and feeling the two great lands, he could feel something that could help him in this fight. "Bring the three necromancers here, it seems they will play a greater role in this fight than I expected."

In the presence of such thick death energy, the role of necromancers became far more important than ever. Necromancers would be like whales returning to oceans in this atmosphere, able to show off an even greater strength than they did ever since joining Arthur's ranks.

'There is a problem,' Gege suddenly said, 'the world here seemed to force limitations on my portal ability.'

"What do you mean?" Despite expecting such a limitation, Arthur felt something was wrong. After all, he told Gege if there was any limitation on bringing people from the outside world directly, she could use the trick of sending them inside her garden world to do it.

'I can't summon my portals in large numbers like before,' she said in hesitation before adding, 'even if I opened a portal, the portals will have  limited time before getting crushed.'

"Time limitation? That's new!" Arthur frowned before adding, "what about limitations on the outside world itself? Does it still exist?"

'What do you mean?' Gege didn't get his point clearly until she prayed over his thoughts, 'oh, you want to open portals at the sphere and let them come through this path?'

"If the sphere isn't protected and doesn't limit our people entering here, then why not use this way instead?" Arthur shrugged, "as for the portals, leave them to the real fight."

"What are we going to do now?"

Just as he said these orders to Gege, Amera came closer to him. From the look on her face, Arthur could tell she was already stressed out from being here.

This place… it had such a strange gloomy effect on their souls. Seeing all this grayish surrounding them from below, and such destruction and ruins without any sign of life there made them all feel a little down.'

"Send a probe," Arthur said without thinking too much about it, "send small groups in different directions, including this one."

Out of Amera's expectations, Arthur pointed at the barren world down below. She thought that the prison must be in the world above, where that thick greenish fog existed and blocked their vision.

However unlike what she, and the others, thought of, Arthur didn't exclude any single possibility here.

In his eyes, the place with the highest possibility of being the prison would be that barren world underneath them. As for that strange land up above their heads, it was the most suitable place for the trap of their enemies.

Sending teams out to scout was the wisest decision right now. Without risking to lose too much, he decided to scan this world before his necromancers arrive.

"Also…" he suddenly stopped her and others from forming the teams, "send a group through that sphere back to our world."

The sphere they came from was still there. Like the way they felt it from the outside world, it looked the same without any visible changes on it at all.

"Alright," Amera got what Arthur wanted. Getting in seemed too much easier than anyone expected, so could they leave this world through the same way was an important question at the moment.

After all, if they could enter and not leave, that meant they were already trapped inside this world, trapped inside a prison.

However testing it proved that they could enter this world, but not leave it without paying a price.. As the team Amera selected to test the sphere touched its surface, a ribble of green energy suddenly appeared out of nowhere and engulfed their bodies first.
