Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Like before, he kept depleting the fire relentlessly. Everytime he stepped inside the reach of the liquid it got stirred up before erupting in a strong gale of purple fire.

Amera could only see the gale of wind but no fire. She heard what Arthur said. He told her there was a very terrifying fire here, but she couldn't see anything.

However the devastation she recalled at the settlement from before was still fresh in her mind. It couldn't possibly be caused by any wind, only fire could do such devastation.

Plus her fear didn't get any weaker from before.

However she noticed the strength of that wind was getting weaker with time until it hit its rock bottom.

"Is it… depleted?" Amera asked as she could only feel a soft breeze of wind now.

However Arthur knew how dangerous such wisps were. "Don't come near yet," Arthur started to take his tools again and started to gather up his blood.

If there was only one thing he regretted in this process, it would be for him to lose blood. He had to lose so much of his blood and that was something he didn't like at all.

However he had no other way to deal with this except through bleeding over and over again.

The moment he gathered enough blood, three monsters were summoned all of sudden all around the liquid.

The next moment Amera could feel the intense clash between them and the liquid. Apart from her sight reach, a very strong fight was taking place between the three monsters and the liquid.

However amidst all this, she watched Arthur walking so carefree inside the dead zone of the liquid.

"What are you doing?" she couldn't help but get worried and panicked from what he was doing.

"It's safe now," Arthur said while starting to form his arrays, "at least for now."

"…" his answer startled her before she hesitated and stepped inside.

But she didn't feel anything wrong. In fact the two wings on her back started to shiver slightly once she did so, but she didn't feel anything wrong afterwards.

In fact while Arhtur was busy weakening the fire, she started to assess her new powers.

And the more she tested and checked, the more shocked she became.

Her boost didn't only affect her energy, but everything as well. Her body got stronger, her muscles got more powerful, and even her soul seemed to get thicker and more purified with each passing minute.

Even until now her body was getting bathed and stronger. For her this was a miracle, however for Arthur this was something quite normal.

After all, what Amera had could be considered a good encounter, like a cultivator breaking through.

So he wasn't any bit surprised by any of this. He knew she would keep growing until she hit her limit.

But what was that limit? He didn't know. He was quite sure she would turn out to be a powerhouse by herself.

As for the others, he thought of using the same way to turn others into strong individuals serving him.

The first candidates he had in mind were Doaf, the crow, Jud, the bronze killers, plus all of his friends and those who accompanied him from the early on.

They lived through a lot with him. He trusted them in his life and so he wouldn't fear them getting stronger.

What was the benefit of such a weapon if not used and kept hidden? His enemies weren't simple mages after all, they were grandmasters now.

And so he needed to form his own army of grandmasters as well.

Once finished he didn't hesitate to initiate the arrays. The first array got activated and the next moment the monster inside started to roar in an angry way.

In front of Arthur's special vision, that monster started to emit a strong gush of purple fire. To Amera, a strong gale of wind erupted and her innate fear resurfaced once more.

"Watch out!" she shouted but what happened next startled her at once.

A portal opened just next to the monster, outside of the array, and one monster came out from it. The clash happened and that outside monster fell into a coma while the one inside stopped causing any ruckus.

And Arthur didn't stop there.

He jumped from one array to another, until he finished one round of arrays. Then he started the second before completing it with the third.

Then all these monsters went inside his world through portals.

"What?"

As he turned to Amera, he couldn't help but laugh at her expression. She was giving him the impression of watching a monster, someone who was really terrifying.

"N… Nothing," she shifted her face away before sighing, "you… are really something else, tsk."

He laughed at her words before he started to move to the outside world. "C'mon, our work here isn't over yet."

She was puzzled for a while before they reached the walls. The appearance of Agnus leading a large number of people here made her realize everything.

"You… intend on taking every single piece of this ore with you?" she couldn't help but ask in doubt.

And he nodded. "What's wrong in doing that?"

He already told her enough, enough to make her understand everything. However even if she did know, she couldn't believe he really planned to take away everything.

"Well… That will take a lot of time," she slowly said before adding, "this will put these people at grave risk."

"That's why I'm going to add these parts to my empire," Arthur firmly said before turning to Agnus, "go inside. Find and train as many as possible."

"I understand, my lord," Agnus knew his role perfectly well. As he was gone, and the people started to work, Arthur didn't have anything else to do here.

And so he flew fast towards the next settlement, and Amera followed.

She became faster, much faster than him. To keep up with her growing speed, he had to use portals to keep up.

However this only came to make him more pleased and much anticipating what she would end up to.
