Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur just said that, and then the entire world around him changed to reveal the actual world. "Interesting, that Golam had it hard from you," he commented on the current state of the Golam.

There wasn't a single place without a wound there! the entire giant body was covered in a green liquid that formed its blood. The giant lady floated in the air, looking minute compared to the enormous body of the Golam, with her sword still covered in a veil of fire and lightning.

"Didn't know you cared this much about me," he joked around, while glancing over the walls and pillars.

They were already formed, and the shield covering the city seemed to gain benefits as well. It could alone hold back the Golam, yet he felt like something was holding them back.

"Funny," she just sneered before adding, "come with me funny man and live. Staying here would only kill you for nothing."

"It ain't for nothing," he shook his head before seriously adding, "you finished your tribulation, and now what remains is mine."

"Yours? Which is?"

"This city is my tribulation. I will protect it and win this challenge."

She glanced for a brief moment there before saying, "are you sure you aren't deluded?"

"Thanks for your concern. I will end my tribulation successfully like you did, then we will have a nice and long chat together."

She felt something in his tone, so she hurried to say: "Nothing intimate will happen!"

"Don't be scared, I won't do a dual cultivation with my mentor, right?"

She was much more scared now than before. His tone and attitude made her think of many old memories, memories she selected to forget forever and never recall again.

"Annoying weak man."

He just smiled and didn't comment as he was bothered with something else.

"I feel these pillars and walls are strong, yet they can't show up their true strength for something."

"Ding! Your hunch is right, I also feel this way."

"Can't you know the details of these? Tell me what stands between them and their true strength."

The system went silent for a few moments, while Arthur's attention was focused on the Golam.

The entire body of the Golam was covered in green liquid, and that liquid shone slowly, giving it a terrifying look.

"It's exploding strangely," he muttered as he thought the Golam would trigger its soul and explode from its core.

"Its triggering mechanism lies in its blood, so it would explode from outside inward."

"Its blood?" Arthur muttered before glancing at the large green pond that appeared under its body. "If I took that blood away, would the explosion be weaker?" he asked.

"It's quite dangerous getting near it right now," she commented before waving her sword, "or else I would continue attacking it."

"You might have a point," he smiled, a very calm and sly smile before adding, "it just happens I have the perfect counter for it."

The next moment a sword appeared floating just meters above Arthur's head. It was the old bloodthirsty sword. "I don't know what to say, but you really have the luck of the world," he laughed before gripping the handle as he unsheathed the sword.

"I know, you can feel your meal, right?" Arthur laughed as he felt the humming of the sword. "Go and drink its blood dry," he threw the sword like a spear.

The giant lady glanced strangely towards this small sword, not knowing how this small fish was supposed to drink such a giant lake!

"Buzz!"

Yet as the sword left the hand of Arthur, went towards the greenish blood, it kept buzzing and slowly growing in size. When it reached the pond, it wasn't small anymore; its size got enlarged a hundred times already!

"Wow! That sword just now suits me to carry," the giant lady clapped like a little girl seeing a fancy dress. "Forget it, it's my sword," Arthur simply and directly rejected her and tried to snatch his sword.

"Won't you give your master a gift? In celebration of accepting you as my disciple?"

"It's the other way around, greedy giant sexy girl!"

Her face got reddened when she heard his last words, and all the angry words she was trying to say got choked in her throat, rendering her speechless.

"Just forget it, this is my sword. Be glad I didn't ask for yours as a present for your disciple."

"Tsk, you are really stingy."

"You are the greedy one."

"Ding! Can you two stop fooling around and try to think of a way to save your city?"

"Have you found the right answer?"

The system went to silence again, making Arthur shake his head helplessly. He had to wait for the system answer, as this was the only way he had to make his chances to live and save his city higher.

The next minutes were really stressful. While the giant beauty stood there trying to convince him to come with her, he didn't listen to any of her words.

He believed this was his true role in this tribulation, and he had to bypass it no matter what on his own record.

"Ding! All I could find is that the total energy these pillars needed is just lacking."

The system finally gave him an answer. Despite it not being detailed, it pointed out the issue here. "The energy inside the pillars got depleted?" he was surprised to reach this conclusion. "I didn't use the arrows on them!"

"Ding! The energy was depleted trying to change the infrastructure of your city."

"Any idea of how to replenish it, fast, like now?"

"Ding! Away from this Golam, I can't find any other source of energy here enough to the pillars."

The reply of the system seemed quite vague, yet he gave him inspiration. His eyes shone brightly while he instantly canceled his transformation.

"Gor, come here!"

His shout wasn't that quiet as it instantly reverberated in the entire city carrying his own nervousness and anxiety.
