Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

'Ding! They are the purification waves of your garden! Don't worry, you are their master and Amanda isn't a dark clan descendant,' the system paused for a moment before adding, 'Ding! But the next minutes will be quite dangerous. Keep firing!'

Arthur felt the nervousness in his system's tone and realized things were far from over. He started to fire his arrows again, targeting the next group, while pausing for a moment to watch these slow waves passing through him without any harm.

Yet the moment they landed on Amanda's body, a violent convulsion occurred, then another, and another. It seemed each wave was like a strong electronic pulse, invading her body and invoking it to twitch!

And the most prominent thing that happened next was for the black fog to condense with more waves hitting her.

'Ding! Keep hitting, that dirty fog is the thing I touched and eating away her soul,' the system urged him before adding, 'Ding! If we let it go back, the recoil will be enough to extinguish her last flickering soul light!'

"Count on me," Arthur started to fire his arrows again like a mad man. He kept doing this for minutes while he used all his concentration to control the waves of arrows to reach their pillars.

So he didn't notice what happened to Amanda, yet Mr. E noticed.

Her body was now covered in a dense veil of black smoke that kept waving like it was alive. Her body started to rise up in the air, while her eyes opened showing complete dark eyes!

She wasn't herself anymore, she was something else!

"Soul control? What freak did she fight?!!" The shock of Mr. E was beyond imagination, and yet he didn't petrify in front of this. "That kid is in danger," he didn't hesitate and took out his long spear.

He used many weapons and was already proficient in most, yet to aim and do the required damage from such a distance; either an arrow or a spear would do.

"The boy has arrows, I can't interfere with him, so this would do," he muttered to himself while his golden black spear was thrown to move like thunder; nailing Amanda to the ground and startling Arthur.

"What the hell?!" he glanced over Amanda's dark eyes and her body covered in black fog as he added, "why didn't you warn me?"

'Ding! If so then what good is that lad over there?'

"Lad? He is a master!"

'Ding! Don't waste time, keep firing and he will do his job in handling her.'

Arthur glanced again at the spear penetrating her belly, and then returned to fire his arrows. He gave Mr. E a nod before his arrows started to rain again over the pillars, creating more waves and evoking more dark fog out of her body.

As for the wound created by the spear, Arthur didn't see any red blood oozing from it; only filth dark fluid appeared.

"He injured that thing, not her," he muttered while keeping his hand and mind busy with arrows.

The thing he didn't notice while firing was the white balls over the pillars. The pillars were arranged in circular fashion, forming onion-like layers. He started from the center outward, so each wave created had an impact on those inside.

And that made these balls of light expand. It was slow but with time it became noticeable if he was free to glance around.

But he wasn't!

And his system didn't interrupt his focus.

He kept firing towards the pillars and when he finally finished hitting the pillars for the second round. The waves created seemed endless, coming slowly and steadily towards Amanda.

"She is still unconscious," he glanced back at her and murmured. Even after all these arrows and waves, he couldn't kill that thing or push it further away from her.

'Ding! At least you interrupted its meal and now her soul is slowly healing on itself.'

"You mean we need to buy her time?"

'Ding! That's the plan,' the system said while refraining to add more. This thing wasn't that simple, and the system was pretty sure when Amanda was on the verge of awakening; it would go wild.

For such a parasite, living without a host meant death.

Arthur complied to his system's plans and kept firing the arrows. Midway though, that thing behind seemed restless for more than once and Mr. E had to interfere using his deadly spears.

After the fourth round, Arthur felt the entire world looking fuzzy to him. These waves coming without an end kept interlinking together, forming strange visual impacts.

'Ding! Close your eyes and continue, these waves are starting to grow to something else.'

The system noticed the effects of these complicated waves on him, so it tried to give him guidance. For Arthur, closing up his eyes and launching arrows to their targets wasn't that big of a deal.

He used his talent to control arrows and made them hit their mark. The more rounds he finished, the more the waves became more deadly.

"This kid… this is a soul based pure attack. Such a complicated level I hardly can withstand, how can he do that?" Mr. E stood far as he watched the outgoing waves and analyzed them.

It wasn't his first time fighting soul attacks; most of his sworn enemies use this nasty trick.

So he managed to break down the nature of those waves, and to his surprise these waves didn't show the end of their potential; as they started to evolve to a higher stronger form of attack.

"But that thing…" he glanced again over Amanda's body, before sighing. "Him alone isn't enough! I should slack off. What will others say when a fresh disciple does his best and I stand to watch while my best disciple is going to die?"

He took out a strange weapon. It was a big gold and silver triangle. He held it in one hand, while it almost reached his height, before taking a long thick white rod from his storage ring.
