Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

'You can start now,' Gege suddenly said after twenty minutes, 'they have already passed your spot.'

"Give them a minute," Arthur took a deep breath before taking out his sword and started moving in the air.

He activated his technique. "Coming here after getting this awesome weapon in my arsenal made me look like an idiot," he shook his head while watching the sword phantom he held in his right hand. "A fool fighting giants with sticks… Damn!"

'Any moment now,' Gege said again.

"Open the portal honey," Arthur said, "let's kick hard on their doors. How are they doing?"

'Doaf and Amera?' Gege asked before adding, 'they are fighting like crazy right now. But don't worry about them.'

"I'm not," Arthur evilly smiled, "I'm just worried they wouldn't be giving it their all and let many escape."

'I doubt that,' Gege laughed, 'Amera is already on loose and Doaf has no option but to protect you.'

"Wise words coming from my Gege," Arthur laughed shortly before being swallowed by the portal.

The next moment he appeared again in the world. Everything around looked the same yet from his spot he could already hear a lot of explosions and even flares of lights coming from a certain direction.

"The party is hot," Arthur sneered, "what's the status of the closest group?"

'Three minutes run,' Gege said, 'won't you wait for the mechas to arrive?'

"Nope, tell them to wait," Arthur cancelled his dragonair form and started to run in his human form, "they will recognize me miles away if I kept my dragon or took out my mechas."

'Good point,' Gege said, 'but I have to tell you it's a terrible idea.'

"You are worried about me, huh?" Arthur was taking this like a light joke, "don't, I know what I'm doing."

Arthur started running with all his might, yet he was pretty much slower. The terrain around was wide open, making anything be spotted from far away.

So his plan to move like this seemed to be logical, yet Gege knew he wanted to secretly punish those two for not trusting him with their plan from earlier.

As he kept moving forward, his distance with the rear groups of the enemy got shortened.

"Be ready," he said while examining the terrain around. "That spot will do," he selected a small hill in the distance, lying just in the center of four groups.

'You surely have something towards high altitude,' the golden dragon joked and Arthur couldn't help but smile.

"I stayed my past life living on mountains," he said, "there is nothing wrong in preferring high ground for any fight."

'Still you are addicted to that,' Gege laughed, 'the mechas are ready. When do you want me to summon them?'

"After reaching the hill."

Arthur was sure those lycans were already aware of his presence sometime ago. Yet they didn't change their direction or show any sign of hostility according to Gege.

And that was only a mistake on their part, as they thought him a lost soul of their enemies.

Someone they shouldn't worry about, however that was doomed to be changed the next few minutes.

"Get ready," as he got so near to that hill he didn't find any reason to hide his identity any longer. The next moment he turned into a dragon after channeling his dragonair's energy, then he simply flew fast using his superb speed to reach the top of the hill in no time.

And like death he descended in the middle of the four groups before a portal appeared and he slammed his phantom sword over a certain direction.

"Attack there, there, there, and there," he hurriedly pointed out four different directions around the hill.

And Nara nodded in silence before leading the growing number of mechas towards those four directions.

"I'll go in," after he slashed his sword a couple of times towards each group, he simply walked inside the portal and vanished.

'Running away? Simply like that?' Gege was speechless by his sudden move.

"I'm the leader," Arthur slowly said, "and fighting those higher level mages won't be easy. I can't be killed or wounded or else everything will be lost."

The three voices in his mind stayed silent for a long minute before the golden dragon finally spoke: 'Don't you find this a little overboard?'

"This is called safety first," Arthur smiled, "plus if anything bad happens to them, Gege will inform Nara to retreat with the surviving mechas."

'Will I do that?!' Gege seemed a bit surprised by this, 'you didn't tell me that before!'

"You now know," Arthur sneered, "c'mon, this isn't like a bad thing. After all, I'm not going to act suicidal here."

'But…' Gege seemed not to accept his strange attitude, yet he stopped her as he sat on the ground, extending his arms like he was planning to take a nap.

"It's not a bad thing to let my people fight instead of me from time to time," he said before closing his eyes, "they need to toughen up and I need not to risk myself too much. It's not my world to begin with and I'm not planning to stay here that long either."

Arthur wasn't that cold, but he wanted to get some rest once in a while. Plus he didn't like the idea of fighting all alone here with people outweighing him in power and strength.

"Let my dear werewolf get ready to move," Arthur said while taking a deep breath, "I doubt Nara's team will manage to kill them all."

'She is doing great actually,' Gege said with a tone that told him she was still made of what he did.

"She will lose a lot," Arthur slowly said, "staying fixed in one place isn't the best strategy out there. Send him out with others."

'He… has few,' Gege seemed a bit hesitant, 'only a couple of hundred at most.'

"Then make him move now," Arthur didn't change his mind, "he needs to use the chaos Nara created before those damn lycans get their heads cool about this."

Gege seemed not to agree with him yet she executed his order. In the next couple of minutes, giants passed through that portal led by his werewolf.

And Arthur was damn right about what he just said. Staying in one place for a long period would only create more troubles for everyone.
