Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

"How come I am that… No way! This isn't happening to me!"

The sacred words of the transformed original made Arthur realize something. After all, the ones who imprisoned the originals and caused their massacre a long time ago were none but the world's will from that time.

And now that original turned out to be one of them. Which meant only one thing.

"So the ones who killed the originals were… actually the originals themselves?!" It was a shocking discovery but Arthur didn't jump to conclusions.

Not before he heard more from this beauty in front of him.

"Is this normal?" Arthur got the courage to move forward and ask, "did you know this would happen?"

"No, there must be a mistake!" the sweet tone of that beauty couldn't match what Arthur had in mind about the brutal originals. Even the firm denial of her seemed to be alluring at the moment.

"This can't be the sacred flower of us! There must be a mistake!!" the beauty kept screaming and at this moment she couldn't control her emotions and cried.

Arthur was startled by this. He never expected or imagined his brutal originals to even have tears!

"Didn't you recognize it before?" Arthur said in an attempt to calm his superior fighter down. He didn't know how things ended up this way, but he didn't rush in judging the experiment yet.

He wanted first to see if this original still possessed her earlier power before transforming or not.

At this point, dreaming of getting more power from such flowers was a fantasy. He didn't even consider that at the moment.

"It looks exactly like it," the original said in a devastated sweet tone, "but it has nothing to do with our sacred flower! The flower was supposed to turn me mightier and unlock my potential. But this…"

The original pointed to his sexy body and felt great remorse and regret. "How come my beautiful body turns into such ugliness?"

"…"

At this moment Arthur was literally speechless. He never expected the original in front of him to be ignorant of the more important fact.

He turned into the ones who killed him and his people! The ones who did that ancient massacre and imprisoned the rest inside that prison above.

"The prison… Wait a minute!!'' Just when he thought about the prison, a far crazier idea popped up in his mind.

Unintentionally he turned his head and looked towards the sky. He wasn't in the real world, but he moved in reflex to spot the place of the alleged prison.

"It's not a prison!" Arthur's mind started to link all the dots at last. He always thought that the originals who survived miraculously from the ancient massacre were kept inside the prison.

But when he thought about it now, and putting what happened to his original under spotlight, he couldn't help but see another possibility.

"Thinking about it, how come such scary beings leave few alive behind?" he muttered to himself while being deeply lost in thoughts. "Even if a bunch of them survived luckily from the massacre, it wouldn't be hard to kill them later on, right?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt mad about his incompetence! He was tricked! Just like everyone else in this universe and this realm.

Arthur turned his gaze towards the beauty in front of him. This time he started to unveil the thick layers of lies which surrounded the truth and saw it with his bare eyes.

"The world's wills are originals, transformed by the flower," he muttered, "and so they didn't imprison those survivors, they are storing them for later times."

It all began to make sense now. He realized why there were good hearted world's wills that helped him during his journey so far.

He mistook them as people who hailed from his world, his past cultivation world. People like him. But now he could tell this wasn't true!

However there was still one piece that didn't make quite sense.

"Can you feel spiritual energy?" Arthur suddenly asked out of the blue.

He still remembered the words he exchanged with that world's will from before. She told him she was like him, a cultivator who failed a trial and was imprisoned here for eternity.

However Arthur didn't believe in this anymore! He had a thought about what happened, but needed to make sure first.

After all this little chat was the only unlogical piece in the entire truth! And this time he decided to go full out and see the whole truth with his own eyes.

"Spiritual energy… What's that?" the beauty seemed puzzled and didn't recognize what he said.

But Arthur didn't hurry to believe her before doing something.

"It's like this," without further ado, Arthur took out his sword and stirred his spiritual energy inside his body.

His base was quite high so when he did so, a gush of energy appeared from him. Arthur didn't plan to use an advanced technique, only one of the simplest of all.

He gathered up his energy and slashed his sword to form the shape of a dragon. The slash flew fast before falling at a distant tree.

"Boom!"

Despite using a weak technique, his base was overbearing! The explosion left behind a small mushroom cloud and a shallow dent in the ground.

"This…" however Arthur wasn't looking at his attack at all. He was focused over the face of the beauty. As he expected, she recognized his attack and energy.

She raised her hands and examined them in a deep frown. She seemed like she was recalling something distant, something lost for a long time already.

"I… once was a cultivator…" and like dropping a nuke over him, she said these words in a deep tone, "I failed my test and was cursed by the heavens. I came here and was imprisoned to become a guardian of this world."

"…"

At this point Arthur didn't know what to say or believe. These words were strangely similar to the ones told before to him by the world's will he met.

But putting everything he experienced and witnessed in the picture, they looked like bullsh*t!
