Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur calmed down when hearing the logical explanation of his two trusted friends. He had been here fighting for almost three years, not to mention the time he went towards the higher realms and returned back in time to this world.

As he found a reason for this delay, he decided to start linking this world to his star map. After all, even if the portal linking back to his original world appeared, he wouldn't jump through it right away.

He first had to link this world to his star map, then he needed to arrange his troops.

In his mind he already prepared the troops coming with him back to his original world. Unlike what the other three suggested, he decided to only take the elites from the higher realms with him.

It wasn't like he was underestimating his enemies. He was pretty sure once returned, the lycan clan would act upon him if not already prepared to welcome his return with a grand army.

But coming back with a grand army would make it hard through one portal. So he felt it would be more appropriate to return with a selected elite force before activating the link between the two worlds and start summoning his big armies.

As for the arrangement of his forces, he already left Gege to handle this matter. Gege became far more experienced in dealing with issues like that. During the past days of wait, she already sent orders to the entire armies of the empire to be gathered around certain regions.

All she needed to do was to summon portals at these areas, and the armies stationed there would act accordingly. Arthur knew he just needed to sustain the first attack from his enemies, a fact he had to accept no matter what.

Even if he decided to listen to the three voices in his head and summon a big army with him, the army would take much longer to pass through the portal. Arthur wouldn't believe his enemies would let such a chance slip by and not target the portal itself, killing any troops coming unprepared, unorganized, and fewer in numbers from the portal.

So bringing a handful of elites with him was the best choice he had right now. 

"So I just need to let a drop of my blood fall on the ground? Nothing else?" Arthur asked while watching the drop he just produced fell on the ground without doing anything. "Is it done?" he didn't feel anything at all, so he had to ask Gege.

Yet Gege only returned with an exclamation of shock as if something out of ordinary just happened. Arthur already had a bad omen about the delay of the portal appearance. And now he couldn't feel anything after using his blood.

"What's going on?!!" He felt more annoyed when he examined his mind. His star map already integrated itself deeply into his galaxy-sized dantian, allowing it to grow larger and become stronger with his advancement in strength.

His star map was the basis of his dantian, yet he didn't feel anything new inside it once he linked his consciousness with it. The star map still held the previous worlds like stars inside it, with nothing appearing new or out of ordinary.

"Gege… What's going on?" as he confirmed his darkest worries, he had to ask Gege who seemed to know something.

'As far as I can tell, it seems you haven't cleared the entire world yet!'

"What?" Arthur frowned again, "didn't you tell me that the armies went all over the world already? Even if they missed something, the cities built by Deem and Gor should have covered the entire planet already! How come we missed something then?"

Arthur was feeling more unease the more he thought about it. He did everything right, and the only explanation he got was that something went wrong back at his home world.

"Don't tell me all this was a trick of their end?" he frowned when he thought about that. In fact he wasn't that attached to his home world. As for the ten world quota, the number of worlds attached to his star map was enough for this task.

Yet he felt this was much more complicated than just this simple reason.

'Ding! I think there is a place still not conquered in this world,' the system suddenly said this and that made Arthur's face more unsightly.

'Yeah, I also thought about that place,' the golden dragon seemed to understand what the system was talking about.

"Can you two stop talking in riddles? Where the hell is that place? My armies visited every corner in the world and my cities already covered the entire ground!"

'It's alright to say that the entire ground is pretty much covered and conquered,' the golden dragon said, 'but if we want to speak about the entire world, then there is still a place you haven't visited or conquered yet.'

Arthur's face became gloomier while he tried to control his rage. He knew these two were just playing with him right now, so he decided to keep his silence and be patient.

'Ding! Do you still remember the old prophecies of that sect you once saved?' 

"That… no way!!" Just as the system gave him a hint, Arthur instantly linked all the dots. Unconsciously he raised his head and looked at the bright sky while muttering, "so that prison is considered part of this world?"

He didn't know why but he always felt these old prophecies to be useless. He even totally forgot about them, about what was mentioned there of his visit to that place.

But now all evidence pointed towards these prophecies being correct at the end. He had now to go there, visit that prison and enter a big war up there according to the prophecies.

And according to these prophecies of that strange sect, his life would be in danger once he went up there. Arthur stood in his place thinking about this issue.

He wasn't worried about the threats mentioned in these prophecies, he believed it needed a miracle for anyone to threaten his life.

He was only thinking about the path to that prison. Up till now the only evidence he got from that prison was the fall of the purple ores once during his stay here. 

Other than this, he still didn't find any clue pointing towards the presence of that prison.

"Take me inside," he sighed, "I'll have to ask those originals about that prison and how to get up there."
