Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

'Try to use the ores,' the golden dragon said, 'I think they only interact with each other.'

"Gege…" Arthur didn't have much time to reconsider. The fall of the purple ores was so fast. They would slam at the ground in less than five minutes.

Instantly an ore appeared in his hands coming from one portal. Arthur just grabbed it to feel the strange gravitational force coming from the rays of light.

"It's attracting the ore," he muttered in joy before he let go of his little rock.

"Sizzle!"

Like fire coming in contact with water, a sizzling sound emanated fast before he saw the ore getting consumed by that ray of light.

Instead of growing weaker as he expected, the rays of light intensified. "What should I do now?" he was clueless but his system got a brilliant idea.

'Ding! The moment of clash between the two made that ray of light corporeal,' he said before adding, 'Ding! If you manage to hit the ground at this moment, you'll be able to uncover what lies underneath.'

"Good point… Gege…" Arthur instantly had another piece of ore in his hands before he readied himself for this.

He knew if he missed this chance he wouldn't have another.

"Make your portal ready," Arthur said, "I don't want to lose what lies beneath."

Arthur then let go of his ore before he instantly slashed with his sword. He didn't know what moment his system referred to. So it was better to hit the moment he threw the ore.

The first few slashes went like it hit nothing but air. However at some point, he felt his sword passing through some sort of hard material.

"It hit!" he shouted in joy before his sword slammed into the ground. At this moment he realized something that startled him.

"Dammit! Gege… Take it in now!" he tried to shift his sword but it was already too late to do that.

What he expected was some sort of ore beneath the ground. But he never expected a flower!

As his sword hit the rays when they became corporeal, the flower showed itself next. It wasn't a small flower, but one the size of an adult man.

Its stump was short and thick, yellow in color. It had giant petals that each reached and exceeded five meters in length.

The petals alternated between faint blue and faint green. And its heart was a mixture between the two colors. Arthur didn't have time to appreciate its beauty as his sword was already on its way to cut it in two halves.

"Woosh!"

But Gege was faster to react. The next moment the entire plant was taken inside the garden alongside a good part of the ground. The portal just passed through everything from top to bottom.

The flower was taken inside with its roots and the earth around them.

'Everything is fine,' Gege said, 'but that flower… it's weird.'

"I know," Arthur didn't have time to chat with her. He raised his head and watched the coming ores towards the ground.

And there he spotted a change in the path of these ores.

It was like the ores lost all the threads attaching them to the ground. All of sudden they decelerated before they were suspended in midair.

"Now what?" Arthur stayed there on alert for a couple of minutes. However the ores kept suspended in midair without even moving.

It felt like the gravity of this planet was ineffective against them. And that was something new to him.

'Ding! I can feel a great deal of energy coming from these rocks,' the system said, 'Ding! They are clashing against the gravity and won't fall.'

"It's weird," Arthur already could see the thick cloud of purple energy released from these ores. "Should I take them in?"

'If you did, then you'll risk losing the flower you've just got!' the golden dragon objected, however Arthur didn't intend on doing that.

"I've another world to take them in," he said with a faint smile on his face. "Gege… Try the portals."

'On it.'

He thought about going up there and testing these ores by himself. However the energy disseminated from them alongside the horror stories he heard before stopped him from doing that.

They released such berserk energy that seemed untamed. However he had a thought in his mind, or a theory to test.

The moment Gege moved her portals nearby, the portal seemed to get intense pressure from the purple energy. However nothing bad happened to the portal until it got so close.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Smash!"

Within seconds deep cracks appeared on its surface before it got smashed to pieces and vanished.

'Sorry, I can't get my babies near it,' Gege said in frustration that Arthur could understand.

"So portals aren't effective against you…" Arthur muttered to himself while looking at these little purple stars in the sky.

Despite this failure, he wasn't all clueless. "Bring one of the originals here," he said while starting to fly in the air.

After all, if anyone knew anything about these rocks, then he would be one of the originals.

One of the originals appeared next from a portal. The moment he came here his face changed abruptly before he turned his face to the sky.

And he kept staring there as if he was seeing a gratifying scene.

"Know it?" Arthur directly asked.

"It's… one of those rocks that kept us locked," the face of the original didn't give Arthur any clue about his feelings. But his tone did.

The words the original said came in such remorse and pain, making Arthur be sure of his earlier hunch.

"They rain down the world here after a strange flower," Arthur said before adding, "but after taking that flower away, they stopped like you see. Is there a way to get them down here?"

However the original seemed to be startled by another matter than the purple ores. "Did you say a flower?" he suddenly said with strange eagerness, "a small flower with green and blue petals and yellow stump?"
