Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

At first Arthur thought about using the golden pearl energy to perform his defensive technique. However when he saw the green fire gathering in abundance above his head, he recalled the green fire that helped him advance his dragonair energy before.

If that fire couldn't touch him before thanks to his dragonair energy, and even helped him a lot, then it made sense to use the same form of energy to defend against such an attack.

As for the form of defense he decided to use here, it was the blue lightning tortoise technique.

He was very attentive to each small detail since coming to this prison world. From the look of it, this attack was directed against himself and not others.

Yet who said this attack would be limited to him only? So if he started using another technique, like the black dragon scale technique, then he would only trap himself.

The blue lightning tortoise defensive technique wasn't weak. It could sustain any form of elemental attack, making him able to sustain this massive tornado forming fast above his head.

Also it gave him another advantage, his ability to adapt to any sudden situation. When he gave the order for everyone to retreat, he watched the tornado up above.

Yes nothing changed on the surface, but he noticed a few arcs of green fire changing its course as if they were tracking something moving.

To be more safe and had a thing to do if the attack changed its target, Arthur decided to depend on this defensive technique for now.

As for its main drawback, the inability to move a finger or do anything during half an hour at least, it wasn't that big of a deal.

First there was no enemy nearby to fear. Secondly even if he stayed for half an hour in this way, he wasn't hopeless.

If the attack only focused on him, he would instead use this half an hour to send everyone back into the other world.

The mistake Arthur did, and just recently realized, was to bring every single general and elite with him to this world. This might look like he was preparing everything to crush this world.

Yet since he appeared here with his army of elites, he never spotted a single foe. Something told him that his real enemy in this world wasn't mages, or originals, but nature itself.

The prison world rules would be his main enemy here. If that was true, then where were his enemies hiding?

Or to be more precise, he asked himself another question; what was the real target of his enemies?

When he put himself in the steed of his enemies, he realized that the biggest and most beneficial target wouldn't be here.

But it was the outside world, his hard earned empire and cities. His citizens, his sect, and everything his people worked hard during the past two years to accomplish.

If he was his enemies, then he would rather let him stay here trapped with all his elites and focus only and solely on destroying the empire Arthur built.

The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became. This world didn't show any threat to him so far. There was no large army waiting for him like he imagined, not a big fortress lying in the distance and hard to crack.

But this world's main threat to him was its ability to trap him inside it. He knew sending people back would come at a price to pay. The main path to the outside world was blocked by the green fire.

Like the team he tried to send through the sphere, they were all gone and sent to an unknown place at the moment. He guessed they were sent directly into the prison, making it impossible for them to break free.

So the other way around, and the only way he could solely do, was by using the weakness in this system; his garden world.

As he tested, Gege was able to connect to the real world. That meant the path to the real world was still present and intact. Yet that didn't mean sending people through this path was safe.

As he figured it out, then his long prepared enemy for more than two years must have thought about it as well. So when the tornado appeared, Arthur wasn't shocked like others and instead started to calmly react.

And this was just the beginning. If his enemies really wanted to target his empire, then they were planning to bring forth a large force that no one of his current armies stationed outside or the defensive mechanisms of his empire cities could stand against.

The only threat to that army would be in the form of his generals and their elites, the one who were currently trapped with him inside this world.

So what if he was going to be trapped for half an hour and prevented from moving? He planned to take all the hits alone and send everyone back during this.

Half an hour? Arthur planned to keep using this technique for long hours until he sent back most of his generals and armies stationed inside his garden to the real world.

That was why he decided not to bring the three necromancers here and only brought one.

Also he didn't plan on bringing that necromancer through the regular route, not through that sphere.

He felt something was linked to that sphere, like a brand of energy was imprinted over the souls of those who passed it.

That explained why when he sent Doaf back to the real world, the green fire here detected and reacted to this.

It would be a foolish mistake to follow the arrangements of your enemies, especially when things looked uncertain in front of your eyes.

So he decided that from now one, any reinforcements coming would be through the garden world and Gege's portals. Although that might limit his ability to summon large armies instantly, it was the safest response he could think of at the moment.

"Woosh!"

The next minute and just as the tornado up above was accumulating force to make Arthur feel a bit threatened, a semi-transparent layer extended and formed a shield on top of Arthur's head.
