Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Don's presence here wasn't an advantage, but a liability, so the first thing Arthur did was to cancel its summon, as he was sure Don wouldn't survive a moment here.

"An intelligent human being, so modest and humble to admit his weakness. That's interesting."

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the mouth of this strange monster. Arthur wasn't that surprised, as he already talked with his dragon descendant queen.

"Oh, you don't look surprised, have you met anyone strong like me before? Interesting, it seemed the one you met was merciful enough to let you leave with your life," the crispy sound of the scorpion monster came again, in a tone that was so horrible and bizarre, yet Arthur felt as if it was amused by this.

Arthur didn't reply, or even move from his place. He was assessing this huge monster, that was alone enough to crush the whole camp they were at, the first or the second one.

'How am I supposed to deal with it?'

Arthur had this inner thought once he disbanded Don. He was trying to figure out a way to deal with this monster, but every single way he thought of was invalid. The monster had a strong shell over its body, acting as invincible armor. It had very strong four clasps, and that huge poisonous tail, that could move at any range and attack from any angle, extremely deadly.

Arthur's only hope was that the monster would be slower than it sounded, but he recalled the way it appeared behind him. just a second of delay and he would be dead! Even if this monster's weakness was speed, he could barely match it.

"Invincible on land, let's see how you will do from air," Arthur muttered, as despite being in disadvantage, he knew hope wasn't all lost. After all, he still had that card up his sleeve, just the timing, and the preparations for that, and he was considering what to do in his mind about it.

The monster was looking at Arthur, like it was amusing itself by the idea of a human resisting him. it didn't move, though Arthur was sure if he slipped in his next move, he wouldn't live to see what happened.

Once he established his plan, he started to act. He didn't put away his bow, as he wanted to use it to attack the monster. Once moved, the monster's tail paused for a second, as if it was trying to sense his position.

"Good, you have a sensor ability, that's one many things I wanted," Arthur muttered, in a cheerful tone, as if the battle was already over. Arthur just moved sideways, from east to west, and from west to east, creating momentum, and gathering up his speed, until he felt it was enough. He wasn't approaching the monster except one step at a time, and thus when he darted forward, he was closer to it than before.

"What a fool!" the monster said, as its tail moved at a speed that was hard to follow with naked eye. Arthur knew once he approached the monster, he would get attacked heavily by its tail, and so he didn't faze out when the tail appeared suddenly in front of his face, in fact he was waiting for it.

Just as the tail was about to hit him, Arthur used his leg technique, and evaded the tail. He glided rapidly, and smoothly over the tail, before he jumped over the tail to high up. He rose one meter, five meters, ten meters, twenty meters, and then his speed went down.

The monster didn't bother to say anything, as Arthur was like a fly to it, and a stupid one in its opinion. Arthur now was just in the perfect spot, just on the level of the long tail, which recoiled to its original place, and all it needed to do was to move forward and sting him.

However, a simple move like that seemed impossible to hit its target, as Arthur was waiting for this moment. Once the monster's tail moved, Arthur kicked the air under his feet, to rise up again, and this time, he used the tail as a ground, to jump up, higher and higher than before.

The monster couldn't find Arthur anywhere, but Arthur could find it very easily. The monster kept moving its tail right and left, devastating the whole terrain and reshaping it, but Arthur was calm, as his altitude rose to exceed hundreds of meters above.

"It's time to make rain."

Arthur then touched his ring, and from it, huge amounts of oil appeared. He was sure to cover the whole area with it, though it might touch trees accidently, but thanks to this monster, the whole area was now devoid of trees, being crushed under its huge body and sturdy shell.

Arthur was now high, very high in the sky, and he could easily see everything around him for miles. The one thing he was looking for, was a distant spot, that seemed so small from here, but he knew who this spot was.

It was Birdy.

"I hope you can see it," he said, as he grabbed an arrow, and then calmed his breathing, before launching a long distance shot towards Birdy. He made sure he wouldn't hit it by accident, and he hoped it wouldn't hit anyone of his teams.

Just as the arrow went to the far distance, vanished from his eyesight, he went ahead for the next step of his plan.

"Make it rain fire!"

He touched his ring again, and three to four pits of fire emerged in the space around him. He just let them fall, freely, towards the ground. He didn't need to aim, or adjust their landing, or interfere in anything, as that monster was really gigantic, and it didn't even notice the oil falling from above.

But surely, it would notice the fire.

Arthur then kicked the air again, trying to keep his altitude here. He knew he couldn't keep himself here for much time, but he hoped for Lily to understand his message, and come to his rescue.

As for the pits of fire he just threw down, they fell rapidly, gathering momentum, before they hit the hard shell of the monster, covered with the sticky, oily, thick layer, and then…

"Boom!"

A sudden, loud, massive explosion occurred. It was so massive that a cloud of dust, ash, and black smoke rose up rapidly, hitting Arthur's body, and drifting him away, without any control.

Arthur didn't expect the massiveness of such an attack to be like this, despite he only used one third of his own reserves, decreasing the initial amount he thought of, which was the whole reservoir.

If he did that, he might be caught in the middle of the fire, and be burnt along with the monster.

His body drifted, uncontrollably, and the whole world kept circling around him, earth became sky, sky became the ground, and vise versa. He moved rapidly, gaining acceleration, and this was a very dangerous moment in his life.

He gathered up all his power, closed his eyes, calmed down himself, and then kicked strongly, with all his might, towards a random direction. It was impossible for him to ascertain his position, but at the moment he used his leg technique, he opened his eyes, looked around him in a rapid, flash move, to realize his position.
