Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

She hated fighting against such an enemy. The only thing that consoled her was the fact that any killed grandmaster was a loss to her enemy regardless of anything else.

One less grandmaster was a gain to Arthur and her. At least that meant one less enemy to fight in the future.

As for Arthur, he started to think about something else.

In Amera's case, she could use her energy during the fight. But if she wanted, she could simply rest and do nothing.

However this wasn't the case for him. He had his pillar energy continuously activated. This wasn't something good at all for him. He wanted to find a way to cancel this ability or else he would end up losing control over his energy.

As such he tried to close his eyes and rest instead of flying out. However nothing happened. His pillar energy kept swirling around him, making him a bit flustered.

'Ding! I believe as long as you don't use it for a fight, this energy won't make you exhausted,' the system said in his own theory.

Arthur could only sigh. He had nothing in his hands now but to pray for this theory to be true. Or else he would be in great trouble now.

"Let's go," Arthur flew in the air and headed directly towards the next settlement.

As he expected, for the rest of the settlement that dark angel mage didn't show himself ever. However he also didn't drop his plans towards Arthur's scattered forces.

In fact, according to Gege's constant reports, Arthur started to realize something. That dark angel mage seemed to increase the number of enemies on all fronts.

That was totally clear in the case of his three girls. Sara, Tina, and the scorpion queen were facing relentless resistance while coming here.

They were supposed to take one day to arrive, but now one and half days have passed and they are still stagnant at their positions.

"What the hell is he thinking about?" Arthur couldn't help but reconsider the general view of the entire map of this zone of the world.

For him he already won this fight. Continuing to resist here meant that the dark angel mage would deepen his losses.

If Arthur was in the dark angel mage's shoes, Arthur wouldn't continue fighting these meaningless battles.

But what was really happening was the total opposite from this. It seemed that the dark angel mage was dead, fixed on hindering Arthur's dominance over this region.

And that made Arthur feel more puzzled towards such a decision.

'He might have been a bitter loser,' Gege suddenly said, 'I believe he didn't want you to have a clean victory over him.'

'Ding! He isn't that kind of a rash person to be honest,' the system didn't agree with her words, 'Ding! I think this mage has an ulterior motive here.'

'If so,' the golden dragon paused before adding, 'he is scheming something.'

Arthur couldn't help but nod in agreement with his golden dragon and system's words. For him he felt there was something hidden from his eyes.

And that meant that the dark angel mage overcame his loss in the last battle fast and started to plan for the next battle.

That wasn't a good sign for Arthur. He thought defeating that enemy here would buy him some time to rest.

He and his forces were fighting for a long time already. He also needed time to strengthen his hold here and try to study the mysterious black curtain and the strength it gave to him and Amera.

Despite that Arthur wasn't that afraid from that dark angel mage. "He… is such a hard opponent for sure," Arthur admitted that to himself, "but no matter what he tries, I'll make sure to crush everything he plans and emerge victorious at the end."

This was his belief. He didn't doubt his victory at the end, but he also knew having such an end wouldn't come easily.

He had to keep his eyes open all the time. He didn't want to have any setbacks thanks to his negligence or underestimating his enemy.

After all his victories so far came mainly due to his enemy underestimating him.

'So far he seems to be focused mainly on Sara, Tina, and the scorpion queen front,' Gege said, 'I believe he wants to crush them. Should we go and help them then?'

"Well… That's the most logical move here…" Just as Arthur was considering this, his line of thoughts suddenly stopped.

"What if… this was his main goal after all?" Arthur couldn't help but think about that.

'What do you mean?' Gege didn't get his line of thoughts.

"Where are these three now?" Arthur asked without moving an inch from the top of the main building in the last settlement he crushed.

He just finished creating the last three originals here.

'They are almost fifteen hours away from us,' Gege said, 'but I doubt they could make it here even in three days! Their enemies are now stretching and covering a vast piece of land.'

"So they are at an insignificant place, right?" Arthur asked while his mind kept rethinking over this matter over and over again.

'Well… If you say it in such a way then yeah,' Gege slowly said before adding, 'but they are the ones facing the largest enemy forces among others! They should be the ones needing urgent help.'

'Ding! No, it's a trap,' the system already picked what Arthur was doubting, 'Ding! We can't go there or else we will lose much more.'

'What do you mean?' Gege asked as she couldn't get what the system or Arthur was thinking about.

'Let me ask you then,' the golden dragon also was on the same line of thoughts like Arthur and the system, 'what's the most vital battleground among all of them?'

'Hmm… I believe it's Amera, right?' Gege said before suddenly realizing something. 'Damn! I was fooled by him!!'

"It's not your fault," Arthur laughed before flapping his wings. "Our enemy is just treacherous. He won't stop throwing booby traps in front of our faces and we need to be alert while facing him."

'So you are going to help Amera now?' Gege said before adding, 'she is still taking rest in between fights. Shall I tell her about your arrival?'

"Who said I'm going to play according to his plans?" Arthur laughed before adding, "I'll play according to my way, not his."

'…'
