Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

"A necromancer?" Arthur was oblivious to the horror of such an enemy.

'It's someone we shouldn't take lightly,' the golden dragon warned, 'he can use the energy of the dead and summon skeletons. He is someone who can be described as a real monster!'

"Oh," Arthur didn't get the meaning of that but he was more curious to know more. "Tell me about that necromancer while our forces retreat," he said while watching the world around.

He could see the darkness on the ground much clearer now. However he still couldn't see where the source of it was. That made him more curious to face this necromancer.

'He can summon skeletons using the energy of death. Legions of skeletons will appear from the ground by his words. And that's not the most terrifying thing about him!' The golden dragon seemed to be familiar with necromancers.

'Ding! Then what?' The system was as curious as Arthur at this moment.

'The skeletons he summoned can be easily destroyed, but those surviving the fight will evolve all the time,' the golden dragon said in panic, 'at first we'll face swarms of white skeletons. But later on facing a skeleton dragon won't be a fantasy!'

"Evolve?" Arthur's interest was piqued the instant he heard this word. "I want him!"

'…'

The golden dragon didn't know what to say. He remained silent for over a minute before saying:

'This necromancer… They are all cursed beings,' he didn't know how to say it so he paused for long moments before adding, 'it's said that whoever he works for will get the wrath of the gods!'

"I thought you don't believe in gods," Arthur lightly said, "besides I'm now convinced that my enemies are those gods of this universe. And I can say with clear conscience that these gods are just criminals!"

The three beings in his mind knew what he was talking about. Arthur already saw part of the hidden and ancient truth of this world.

Those who were supposed to be the ruling gods of any realm, the world's wills, were the ones who created such a massacre against the originals.

Arthur saw the originals as victims, an innocent race who got the fault of inhabiting the wrong world at the wrong times.

Their only mistake was to live in this universe, one that the world's wills of ancient times sought to be their new territory.

Arthur didn't like it! He never like such genocide actions at all! He already sided with the originals and that made him the public enemy of the world's wills in this universe.

Of course he knew not all the world's wills were dirty. He met one, and now he was doing whatever he liked in a realm with one. The world's will never interfered in his business or tried to stop him.

The world's will of this realm only wanted peace and order. It was something Arthur could relate with. So he decided to group the world's will into two main groups, one who were the criminals of ancient times and one who were as innocent and pure like the originals.

But what he was curious most about was the spot of humans in all this mess! He was sure humans were never on the side of the world's wills, at least the majority of them.

Perhaps those dark clans of the highest realms knew what happened at old times. Not necessarily knowing the details but they, at least, suspected something or two.

But that didn't mean humans were criminals like the world's wills. He also doubted any human could wield power strong enough to rival those gods.

Only gods could slain gods! So he put the task of gathering up real monsters like originals by his side.

And now he just found another gem, something even the golden dragon of ancient times was much afraid of.

"I want him!" Arthur totally ignored the warning of the golden dragon and decided to seek that necromancer out.

But as far as he could see, there was only darkness in the world. The combined forces of the academy and clans kept fighting against the retreating forces of his like maniacs.

"They must have a link to that necromancer," he muttered before sighing. "It would be complicated if he was their leader!"

'What should we do now?' Gege asked, 'I can search for him even amidst all this great army. However I need something to start with!'

"Hmm… I believe such a formidable person will have something unique to his appearance, right?" Arthur thought while addressing the golden dragon with these words.

'Well… It might not seem logical but… He looks so weak,' the golden dragon knew his words would make Arthur and others doubt him. So he tried to give reasons to back up his claims. 'He doesn't need to eat to get strong or grow up. He doesn't need strength at all, so his physique… well…'

"Is he crippled?" Arthur tried to come with a thing he could relate with.

'You can say that,' the golden dragon found in such a picture matching with what he had in his mind. 'He looks tall, but his bones aren't strong enough to even wield his weight. He always leans on something, usually a small skeleton to aid him.'

"That means she should look for a skeleton, right?"

'Not quite well…' yet the golden dragon stopped Arthur's imagination.

"Then what?! You just said he uses a skeleton to help him walk around!" Arthur started to lose his patience with his golden dragon.

'He uses a skeleton, but not in the known form of skeletons… He usually keeps a very strong skeleton by his side for protection and helping him in traveling over the world. This skeleton has something special about it.'

"…" Arthur didn't speak and tried to control his emotions over this irritating golden dragon.

'That skeleton can shapeshift to anything,' the golden dragon said, 'so Gege should look for someone with a pure white staff or even a wheelchair. Something like that will be unique for a necromancer.'

"You should have said so from the start!" Arthur shouted in discontent before taking a deep and long breath. He exhaled it slowly to calm himself before saying, "Gege… look for someone that matches such description."

'On it!' Gege didn't delay or argue before she went into deep silence. Arthur watched the desperately fighting enemies against his forces while feeling nothing towards this.

This fight started as a mere chess move from him to conquer a large space of land. However at this moment he didn't have any interest at all towards the lands or people.

He only wanted that necromancer! He badly wanted him to be on his side no matter what!
