Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

"Finally you are here!"

The moment that pet landed, Amelia hurriedly jumped off its back while saying these words. The pet had Amelia and Lily over its back, and also many of the mages who seemed a bit nervous.

"Fight or something?" he asked as this was the only conclusion he had in mind.

"Many groups are coming to attack us," she said before adding, "just after you left, news of those small armies came from the scouts."

"Strong?"

"Many," she sighed, "some even have those hailing from the upper worlds and Doaf is currently dealing with them."

Arthur wasn't angry or even annoyed. He needed something to test his new technique upon. "Where are the attacks coming?" he calmly asked.

"From that way," Amelia pointed towards the direction she just came from, "for a radius of a hundred miles we have many skirmishes going on right now."

"Alright," he said and just before he would continue Gege spoke.

'She found her, it's in the total opposite direction from that one.'

Arthur stiffened at the moment he heard these words. 'Are you sure?'

'The tree is sure indeed,' Gege answered.

'Is she alone?'

'Yes.'

'Suspicious!'

Arthur thought about it for a few seconds. 'How far is she?'

'Not more than one hundred miles.'

'hmm…' Arthur knew there was some scheme going on here. He expected his enemy to act, but this arrangement looked like a trap.

'She is waiting for me to leave," he muttered.

"Pardon… what?"

"Nothing," he said to Amelia before saying to Gege, 'place a well hidden portal here.'

'Planning to come the moment she intrudes the city?'

'I have to see what she is planning,' he thought before adding, 'plus I need to test my technique on someone that's not her.'

'Leave this to me,' she confidently said, and he stressed again, 'hide it well.'

'Don't worry, just focus on testing the technique.'

Arthur nodded before saying to Amelia, "Lead me there. By the way are the numbers here enough?"

"Very."

"Good," he jumped over the back of Birdy while greeting the stern looking Lily. "They are coming from everywhere," she said.

"We'll crush them all!" he paused before turning to Amelia while birdy took them over the clouds, "send a word to Amera and the crow… also for Doaf."

"About what?"

"We'll have many supporters soon in the next few days."

She and Lily glanced weirdly at him for a second. "Supporters you say?" Lily asked, "how can you even get them?"

"It's my secret," he laughed, "just make sure they won't mistake them as enemies."

"Sigh," Amelia took out three bird's wings and wrote to the three, "that might be challenging with the constant stream of enemies."

"We'll kill them all before our supporters come," Arthur muttered, "they are trying to cut the supporters from us… indeed a nice trick."

He knew there was more than this to his enemy's trap. He turned his gaze to glance at the opposite direction, where his city turned smaller from his spot. "Sigh, I hope nothing bad will happen," he prayed.

In less than five minutes he managed to spot on a very wide spectrum below the fights going on here. "This…" he was surprised to see many groups fighting each other, with one mile difference between one another.

And on the far distance he spotted the giants fighting together; those hailing from the higher realms fighting Doaf's team.

"I didn't think they would be this many," he sighed as he knew now how hard it was to crush them all.

"We thought of drawing them to our city walls," Amelia said, "at least we'll gather them in one spot not scattered like this."

"And?"

"Doaf objected," Lily said, "he was worried something else was going behind the curtain."

"He is totally right in his hunch indeed," Arthur softly muttered yet the two girls next to him managed to perfectly hear his comment.

They had questions popping up from their faces, yet he didn't answer any. He wasn't even sure about what lied in the dark waiting for him and his forces and city.

All he was sure about was that his enemy wasn't doing this for only preventing the reinforcements from reaching him.

"Land us there," he pointed towards the far distance where a large group of enemies, rounding up to ten thousand, were coming fast towards the city.

"Ok," Lily said before speaking up with her birdy.

"Are you alright?" Amelia asked in obvious concern.

"Never been better," he smiled and confidently answered while patting over her shoulder, "don't worry over me."

"I…" she paused and her rosy face made him grin.

'Make the tree follow that bitch's steps,' he thought.

'She is.'

The moment he landed a few hundred meters away from the incoming enemies, he took out his sword. Amelia and Lily glanced weirdly at this, as they used to see him use his bow instead.

"New way of fighting," he said, turning into his dragon form before taking the position for his technique.

"Spread out and protect him," Amelia shouted and interrupted his focus.

"Don't," he simply stated, "fly higher and watch."

"But…"

"Just do it," Arthur took the position of his new technique before starting to move. First he created his phantom sword image before coating it with his fire. then he used his epic sword technique and merged the three together while Gege let the pearl's energy flow unhindered through his body.

"The strength of the technique is greatly weakened," the first thing he noticed was the size of that gigantic sword… it got shrunk down to a smaller version of it.

It was still bigger than his normal sword, but it felt as if he was holding a broadsword not a giant one.

'This world… it's so suppressing to your lower realm's aura,' the golden dragon muttered.

'Ding! I doubt the sword could unleash its full potential here… at max you can only throw a hit travelling tens of meters in distance.'
