Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

"I dunno much about the state of the world here," he honestly said while starting to collect the dead bodies.

"It's guaranteed they won't send us to a place where help might be present," she said while watching him jumping around, "what are you doing?"

"Collecting trophies," he joked.

"These aren't strong enough to be used even for cooking," she sighed, "your Golam's meat is much better than these common and worthless pests."

Arthur didn't speak and he didn't explain the purpose he was collecting these bodies for. After all, he wanted to summon five hundred strong dragons in the next five days using these bodies.

"Alright, let me in and I'll start working my ass for you," she finally said as if she had no other choice, "I'll make everyone work like slaves for you… you should thank me later after we escape from this place with our heads intact."

"I'll invite you for dinner," he joked.

"This… sigh, you are just hopeless," she dropped what she wanted to say, "bring me in. and be careful, those mountains are filled with stronger foes than what you met here."

"Thanks," he honestly said before Gege summoned the portals again and they all entered them.

'Yawn! I feel sleepy!'

Just after this Gege yawned and that startled Arthur. Yet he realized he would have to remain here for five days waiting for the army to arrive. "Go and get good sleep… you deserved it," he said and she didn't even return his words as she went to sleep right away.

'Ding! She is a fast sleeper,' the system said before laughing, 'Ding! Like a little kid.'

"We need to think of ways to make the fight more advantageous to us," he said while starting to go towards the mountain, "any thoughts?"

'Ding! Against that army? I think it was a mistake coming here.'

"I had to," Arthur firmly said, "or else I would have faced this fate in a more desperate moment."

The system didn't argue with him as he knew what he was speaking about. 'Ding! The only hope lies with that old man. I hope he wakes up soon.'

"Me too," Arthur couldn't help but sigh while starting to flap his wings and climb the mountain in front of him.

The mountains here were so huge, towering beyond the layer of clouds like castles floating on the clouds. Arthur decided to go up there, towards the peak of one mountain, and select a place there to fortify.

He knew what Amera said was true, as the arrays he got wouldn't be useful in this world. "I hope she can make enough," he muttered while thinking of this fight as impossible to win and a crucial one to win.

"Winning here would put an end to the entire quest I have," he muttered, trying to cheer himself up, "after all those forces would lose their strongest backing and I'll get my backing back. Conquering that intermediate realm would be a piece of cake."

'Ding! Yet it all depends on the success of Doaf to contact him,' the system said, 'Ding! And don't forget you already summoned him before and he didn't answer.'

"I… dunno if he got the message or not," Arthur expressed his doubts, "but this time I'll be sure he got it."

'Ding! Then pray he isn't busy defending his own life when he gets this message.'

Arthur went silent and didn't say anything back. After all, something deep down kept bugging him about his godfather. "He will come," he firmly said while hoping for the best.

Just as he was midway up the mountain, he felt like being eyed by a hidden being. He didn't stop but started to be very vigilant to everything around.

"I hope I don't pump into something crazy," he deeply muttered while the higher he climbed the stronger this feeling became, "I can't use my full powers now with her absence."

'Ding! I can't help, after all this world's suppression force is very powerful over me,' the system bitterly said.

Yet before Arthur could respond, he saw a flash moving fast half a mile above his head. He stopped while holding his phantom sword in extreme vigilance before muttering:

"Bring out the dead bodies now, I'll turn them all here into dragons."

'Ding! Now?'

"Don't waste time… bring them now!" Arthur was stressed by the mysterious enemy and he wanted to be much prepared.

He thought of summoning Amera again, but like this he wouldn't be able to cross the mountains without her being on his side.

And if he wanted to have more options in the upcoming war, he should refrain from disturbing her every now and then.

'Ding! Alright, I'll bring them all out now,' the system then summoned a hundred dead monster bodies and surrounded them all over Arthur.

Yet something weird next happened the next moment after these bodies appeared.

The moment the area around was covered with dead bodies, a black shadow descended fast and landed over them with no alarm before it started to feast over the bodies.

And at this moment Arthur managed to spot that monster while feeling deeply threatened.

It was like a giant eagle with a head of a dragon and tail of a tiger. The body was covered with thick brown and yellow fur that shone brightly under the sun rays and made it very eye catchy.

Plus its body size was much bigger than any monster Arthur met so far in this world.

"Roar!" the monster swallowed dozens of dead bodies before roaring at Arthur. Arthur didn't feel any threat coming from this roar but it was as if it was asking for something.

"Want more?" Arthur couldn't help but smile, "eat these first and I can give you more."

"Roar!"

The monster roared and Arthur thought to see a flashing smile of happiness over the monster's face. He watched the monster gulping all the dead bodies before standing in front of him and waiting.

'Bring him more," Arthur said and the next moment another batch appeared.

And the monster even jumped up in extreme happiness before swallowing more bodies without any delay.
