Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur once activated the array and had a strange feeling of danger. He knew the seed inside the monster's soul wasn't big yet or mature enough to threaten him.

However the moment the array started to activate, the monster seemed to grow some sort of resistance to him.

"As if I'd allow you to stop me right now," Arthur shouted before he suddenly activated his golden pearl energy.

His golden pearl energy was his best and strongest form of energy. He couldn't help but use that energy at this moment to overcome this stubborn resistance from the monster.

And the next moment he saw a purple fire rising up from the body of that monster.

"Unfortunately for you I know how to deal with you now… Gege… bring me a monster!"

Arthur never tried this before, however he had no other choice. The only way to antagonize this purple fire was through using the white energy from monsters.

And Gege didn't slack before a portal appeared and a monster came out of it.

The array was sacred, and so she couldn't summon it inside the array. The monster came outside, just a few meters away from the monster inside the array.

And the moment it appeared, it roared before a wave of white energy appeared. The sudden emergence of the white energy so near to the purple one made the latter confused.

However the purple fire started to clash with the white energy. After all it had no option here but to do that or else it would be devoured by this energy.

The clash resulted in its retreat inside the monster's body while the other monster was thrown backwards. Arthur didn't care about that monster for now as he started instantly to attack the monster with everything he got.

"Bang!"

In a loud sound, the array was successfully activated. The monster got surrounded alongside Arthur in a big dark blue bubble of energy before it vanished.

"Thud!"

And that monster fell on the ground motionless at the moment.

"Lay here like a baby for me," Arthur didn't have time to waste here. He wanted to check over this monster and assess his success or failure.

However he trusted in his array and he had no more time to waste.

This seed… this original seed was much more brutal than he imagined.

"You are next… Activate!" Arthur instantly jumped into the next array and activated it.

Like before, the purple energy appeared. Like before, Gege summoned the monster outside and distracted it for Arthur.

"Done, you are next," Arthur jumped to the last monster before doing the same. The moment that monster fell on the ground and the array was done, he took in a deep breath.

And then he started to assess the conditions of the three monsters one by one.

"I... can feel the link," Arthur closed his eyes and let his energy enter the monsters' bodies. There he found the earlier seed and now each seed had a print over it.

It was a small blue dragon seal, with his own golden power dancing around its edges.

"Is it enough though?" Arthur only saw one seal and he didn't know if this would be enough to restrain the soul of the originals getting born to this world.

If he knew anything about originals, then they would be such brutal and far stronger beings than all races here.

"Let's do it one more," he decided before he started doing another round of slave contracts with the three.

This time the monsters didn't have any power at all to resist.

"Two seals… isn't three the ultimate number?" Arthur thought before deciding to go for a third round.

He was already pushing himself too far. However during this he got to eat a lot of his cooked meat from a long time ago and the potions he made as well.

This helped a lot in stabilizing his energy and healing his loss of blood. And still he was so much weaker, much weaker than ever.

"It's done," he saw three blue dragon seals with golden fire around their edges around the seeds. "I believe they can hold that berserk soul and fire for me," he took in a deep breath before the golden dragon finally spoke.

'What about the three monsters which fought it?'

Arthur already closed his eyes to rest before he instantly opened them widely. He went to the first monster to check it.

"Phew, luckily the fire was so weak to do anything to them," Arthur didn't find any seed inside any of the three monsters' souls. "To be safe, isolate them."

'What about now?' Gege asked, 'what about other places?'

Arthur was tired, however he was very excited. The idea of having originals being born once more to this world was a terrifying idea.

However when he thought they would end up being his slaves he couldn't help but be excited. This way he had a terrifying weapon, one which could even kill grandmasters from the big dark clans of the higher realms.

"I need to go there now," he thought before he started to walk slowly outside.

He didn't try to fly, or else he would get more tired. During his long walk, he kept eating meat and consuming potions.

He knew he needed rest, but right now he had such a rare chance to have such perfect soldiers. He wouldn't risk losing this chance, nor give his nemesis a chance to ruin things for him.

As he went back, he found Agnus and others were still mining the ore. They were doing a good job, however the ores ran in thick and broad veins deep under the ground.

They weren't only limited to this place, yet extended to reach other places as well.

"You are back!" Amera was standing with the crow midair before the two descended towards him.

"Why are you… walking?" The crow noticed this while Amera noticed something different.

"Are you injured?" she instantly put her palm over his head. Her hand was so big to cover his head without problems. "Your energy… it's unstable and weak."

"What happened?" the crow got all stirred up, "was it an enemy? Who? Where?"

"It's nothing," Arthur pushed Amera's hand away in a gentle way, "don't make a fuss about something insignificant like this."

"It is!" however Amera seemed to know he was in serious condition, "what happened?"

"I told you, it was nothing," Arthur then turned to Agnus before yelling, "Are you ready?"

"Are you leaving now?" Amera looked at him in a suspicious way.

"There are more places to visit."

"Then I'll come with you," Amera said in determination.

"You and the crow are needed to guard here," Arthur denied her request, "besides I'm not that weak after all."

Amera gave the crow a silent threatening glance that made all his feathers stand up to no end.

"I… Can hold the defenses here alone," the crow stuttered before firmly adding, "I have the strength to do it. Amera can go with you."

Arthur was about to decline, but Amera grabbed him and rose high in the air.

She didn't give him any room for rejection while portals appeared beside Agnus as he entered them with his chosen men.

Arthur couldn't help but bitterly sigh before he pushed her away and started to fly on his own.

"No need to thank me," Amera said in a tone that seemed to aim to tease him.

"For what? I was just trying to save your life here!" Arthur lied. He knew she would stick to him like glue from here on. He didn't want anyone to know what he was doing, or else more questions would be asked.

"You didn't have to act this secret, or else Doaf and the crow would have come as well."

"…"

Arthur decided to remain silent while thinking about his next target.

From what he saw, the object was something obtaining immense power. He saw the amplitude of purple fire before. He needed to trigger it before it ate away everything.

So he needed to remove the black curtain first. The more he thought about this curtain the more curious he became.

How could such a weak looking normal fabric do all this magic?

He first thought it might be made of the same ore around the settlements, however he now realized it was impossible.

These ores weren't in liquid form. It couldn't be made into that black fabric.

"What are you thinking about?" Amera asked in interest while she wanted to know more. "C'mon, tell me what's going on here so I can help."

"Thanks, I can do it myself. Turn back now," Arthur coldly said while she only laughed.

"Don't give me such a cold shoulder," she chuckled, "this won't get me anywhere away from you. I love hard to get boys like you."

"Humph, we are already in love," Arthur said without adding anymore.

"As if you treat your girl right," Amera faked a weak and sad tone, "if not for me forcing you to take me here, I wouldn't have come."

"This… is for your safety," Arthur tried to control himself, "just retreat. I don't need any help from you."

"Oh, who said I'm this weak… or…" her eyes suddenly shone brightly before asking, "is it related to that gale of strange wind from before? Huh? What's going on here between you and that dark angel mage?"
