Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

"Ding! This will need you to test it first."

"And I will," Arthur firmly nodded before he started to wave his sword over and over again. He didn't use the sword in his right hand, his usual one. He only used that gigantic sword in his left hand.

"Can I use it without the other sword?" he muttered after a couple of minutes before he threw the other sword away and the next instant that sword image vanished.

"You can't do that," Gege complained, "c'mon, I was just getting in a good mood while keeping your pearl energy stable."

"I had to test it," he sighed before taking the sword, "I can fight with one sword in hand, but two? That's challenging!"

"You need to train more on two sword styles of fighting from now on," the golden dragon simply said.

"Easier said than done," he sighed before adding, "at least I know now which hand should that useless sword be."

He was good at using his right hand, but his left was always left to punch others in the face. He started to activate his new technique while keeping the sword in his left hand.

When he finished creating his sword phantom he didn't hesitate to wave it with his right hand.

"Ding! Better?"

"Much better," Arthur nodded, "now I can fight without any problem."

He then started to launch his sword attacks everywhere for nearly one hour. Just as he was so near from that benchmark, his spiritual energy failed him and the next thing happened was for the entire technique to explode.

"Damn!" he cursed before standing from the deep pit he landed at, "this explosion never gets easier with time!"

"You can handle more than that," the golden dragon laughed, "but the image of you throwing off like a bunch of rock sacks is funny."

"Ding! It indeed is."

"I didn't find it amusing at all!" Gege said before adding trying to console him, "at least you know your limit now."

"And that limit should be broken," he took a few pills and chewed on some pieces of meat while adding, "at least I have a final escape weapon I can use when things go out of control."

"That's… true," Gege didn't know what to say.

"Let's keep trying it for a few more times," he moved after replenishing his depleted energies and healing up his wounds. He kept smashing into the ground mercilessly with each explosion, yet after a couple times he started to anticipate this and that helped him in landing in better shape.

But the time remained the same, which was something that started to irritate him.

"Let's go outside then," after one day of trying and ending up in an explosion he decided to go out there and try the technique.

"There is something," Gege suddenly said.

"What?" he asked, "is the city alright?"

"It's not the city, it's the tree," she said before adding, "the responders to your calling… impressive… just impressive!"

He paused in track while muttering, "are there this many?"

"Many is an understatement to be honest," she said in pure admiration, "she kept sending them to the city, giving them directions all over the way."

"She can do that?" he was surprised by that.

"Of course she can," Gege laughed, "she is connected to the entire world now and can easily scan it."

"Can she search for someone?" he asked in an amusing way.

"She can, but you need to be more specific about the description of this person and…" she paused for a moment before adding, "you also need to narrow her search. After all, giving a general guide to those connected to her is much easier than looking at a needle in a haystack."

"I know everything about that person," Arthur laughed, "she saw her, just tell her to scan the area around the city for as far as she can go."

"Near the city?" the golden dragon was surprised to hear that.

"She gave a note about a thing I did back there," Arthur evilly smiled, "and it's fair to believe she is still stalking my own city."

"Alright, I'll tell her that."

"Take me outside," Arthur said in a very amusing tone, "it seems I had a lot of fun waiting for me up there."

Arthur moved to the outside in an instant. The city was now recuperating from the recent war and everywhere he spotted workers doing their best to repair the damaged buildings and defensive facilities.

He spotted from far the movement of the mages over the already fixed walls. 'Amelia is doing a great job here,' he inwardly commended over her efforts before turning around towards the heart of the city. 'I'm sure this place would turn over to be a very bustling one soon.'

'The tree says this will happen in the upcoming days,' Gege said.

'Any news about that silver dragon?'

'You didn't tell me she tried to seduce you!!' instead of answering she directly attacked him.

'Hahaha, this is nothing worth mentioning,' he tried to escape the answer to this question while the golden dragon laughed as well.

'Silver dragons are a very interesting race indeed,' the golden dragon said.

'Oof, even you as well!' she exclaimed in shock while her tone told Arthur how frustrated she was right now.

'Don't worry my dear,' he tried to comfort her, 'she didn't manage to move anything in me.'

'Whatever playboy,' she said before adding, 'she is still looking… damn, I wish I had a real body now so I can teach her a lesson!'

Arthur and the other two refrained from saying a single word while leaving her to relax.

'Ding! What should you do now?' the system asked, 'Ding! Starting to test out the technique?'

'First I need Amelia,' he took out a bird's wing and called up for her.

In less than ten minutes she appeared as a distant spot in the sky over the back of a flying pet. "She came with Lily," he muttered as all he could see was a small dot from far. "They are coming from outside the walls."

He noticed the direction they were flying from.

'Maybe they were scanning the area,' Gege muttered in a low tone.

"No," Arthur sighed, "they should stay in the city and focus entirely on fortifying it… something must have happened."
