Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

'I'll take her out,' Gege simply said before the next moment the giant beauty appeared once again in this world.

Arthur glanced at her sleeping face with conflicted emotions. He knew he promised her to help in bypassing her fate.

However even after all this time he couldn't manage to bypass anything but time.

'Ding! Don't feel sorry for her, you did everything you could,' the system didn't need to read his mind to know how bitter he was feeling right now.

"Now what?" Arthur took a deep breath before launching one more attack at the incoming monsters.

'We wait,' the golden dragon said, 'she needs to be awakened on her own will. There is nothing we can do about her at the moment.'

"I'll keep defending her then," Arthur moved fast and stood in front of her giant crystal. He stole a brief glance at her while recalling the words he long gave her as a promise.

Yet here he was, unable to fulfill it and had to let her take over this world. Something he clearly knew what it meant.

She would never be able to win this tribulation no matter what. Her fate would be sealed, forever.

"Die!" as he was grieving in silence, he decided to take that out and rained his attacks over the large number of monsters.

'The eggs are moving,' Gege suddenly said, 'I can even sense them.'

'Ding! Me too.'

'And me,' the golden dragon added, 'this means these eggs are going to release a magnificent wave of energy.'

"What does this even mean?" Arthur was busy hitting those relentless monsters with his sword.

'The only thing in common between the three of us is the ability to sense energy,' the golden dragon slowly explained, 'the three of us getting to sense that means only one thing; what's coming is something so destructive that we three felt it.'

"But I feel nothing," Arthur said.

'I feel like my death is near,' Gege suddenly said.

'Ding! Me too.'

'And me.'

The agreement of the three beings inside his mind over this point made Arthur realize the threat was real and imminent. "What should I do now?" he hurriedly asked, "should I destroy the eggs?"

'Try,' the golden dragon said, 'despite I doubt this might actually work.'

Arthur didn't give in and started to hit the nearest eggs with his swords. The sword slashes were strong enough to knock the monsters backward, yet they were helpless against these eggs.

'Ding! Your level of power is so low that it can't affect the shells around the eggs.'

"Thanks for telling me something I already am aware of," Arthur sighed, "there is no hope then except to retreat and try to withstand this shockwave, right?"

"Wrong!"

All of sudden this soft and unforgettable voice came from his back, startling him.

"You are… back," he couldn't help but pause midway while glancing at the giant beauty next to him. She was now getting free of that crystal that held her.

From her face Arthur felt like she wasn't mad or depressed. He even didn't feel any sense of hostility or desire to know more about what was going on here.

"I wasn't sleeping all this time," she slowly spoke with her angelic voice, "I heard every single thing you did. I have to say I'm really impressed by your feats. Also I'm a bit touched by what you felt towards me."

"Ahem," Arthur cleared his throat without knowing what to say.

"Don't worry, this is my chance to rise up again," she slowly said before pointing her big hands towards the front. "In time you'll understand that this isn't the end of this life."

"What… Do you mean that?" Arthur asked before she released a deadly beam from her hands towards the monsters and eggs.

"I can't explain," she slowly said, "and even if I did, I doubt you can understand what I know."

"Try me then."

"There isn't an explanation for everything," she said with a strange smile over her face, "but I can tell you for sure that this isn't the last time we will meet."

Arthur watched the world around shining in bright white light. It seemed like the beams she was releasing were very effective against the monsters and the eggs.

Both of them started to melt down, or to break into endless specks of light that started to join the giant two beams she was releasing.

At some point Arthur didn't know if she was releasing the beams or she was now absorbing them.

"I don't have much time to chat with you any longer," she hurriedly said, "my consciousness will be elevated now to a higher realm. Next time we meet we won't be in such low realms. That realm is something amazing, I bet you'll be shocked when you see it."

"A… higher… realm…" Arthur slowly muttered, "higher than this?" he glanced around and now there was no monster or egg at all.

"You'll understand with time," the giant beauty said before adding, "now you need to get off this place and return to the surface."

"Wait! There is something I need from you."

She was about to wave her hand and send him away before he shouted.

"I told you already," yet she didn't stop what she was doing, "I know everything that you went through. I know what you need and when you get back you'll find everything settled."

The next moment the entire world turned bright in front of his eyes. The white light engulfed him while he heard a soft sigh. "Thanks for everything… Let our next meeting be more… more intimate than this one."

Before he could speak, he felt his body being ejected by an irresistible force that sent him away. The next moment he found himself standing on the surface once again, just beside the twin array.

"She sent me away," he slowly muttered before turning around, "will she be able to do it?"

'Ding! we'll get to see the results soon, I suppose,' the system said.

"You returned?" Amera asked with a worried expression over her face. "Is everything alright now?"
