Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

'Ding! You are going to know it soon enough,' the system said, 'Ding! Just go, the window you have is already small!'

"Tsk, speaking in riddles again," Arthur shook his head before he started moving.

His sudden move was noticed instantly by his two masters, who thought he was deluded by something or allured by their combined fierce attacks.

"Stay back kid, you can't do anything for now," Mr. E shouted from behind.

"Go back Willy, it's already dangerous," Amanda spoke in a low tone from the front, trying to make him retreat.

Yet he roared and kept going upfront with great momentum. "Tsk, this kid," Mr. E shook his head in regret, "why is he so stubborn?" a thought then hit him. "Was he attacked by that monster without me noticing it?"

He hurried to turn to his lion. "Go after him, make sure to bring him back even if you are dragging him by force!"

"I promise, master," the lion replied and Arthur understood his loud answer from far.

"Mr. E is fixed on bringing me back!"

'Ding! Don't worry, all we need is to get as much closer to it as possible.'

"Then what?"

'Ding! Leave the rest to me, yet you have to give me your answer.'

"Answer for what?"

'Ding! What path will you take for your soul redemption? I strongly suggest you select the bloodlust path!'

The words of his system totally stupefied him. "Right now? Are you serious?!!"

'Ding! Hurry and decide, or else we will lose our little opportunity here!'

"Tsk," Arthur didn't know what his system was aiming for, "I'll trust you for this, I choose the bloodlust path."

'Ding! The bloodlust path is opened for you!'

Just as these words fell, the entire world changed in front of Arthur. The sky suddenly dimmed and a strange vibe appeared out of nowhere making him quite dreadful.

Yet it was such a familiar feeling he lost since coming here!

"This is… the tribulation!" he was extremely shocked to pause from flying for a moment.

'Ding! Keep moving, we have no time to waste!' his system urged.

"C'mon, tell me what's going on here!!!"

Arthur returned to move his wings while his mind was up in stir. What he didn't know was that all these changes were only perceived by him; no other one here felt or experienced what he was testing right now!

'Ding! Opening the path to your soul redemption puts you on the cultivation track again. Despite you having to start from scratch, your first step is ignited by a tribulation.'

"Meaning?"

'Ding! You chose the bloodlust path, a path of slaughter and kill. As you were initially a great cultivator in your past life; your tests will be harder than ever.'

The system paused for a moment before it used a trick to affect the speed of the incoming lion without anyone noticing it!

'Ding! Your current tribulation is different! You will be assigned a task by a mysterious being, far superior than what you think. You need to accomplish it or else your soul will be cleansed in lightning like your old days.'

Arthur laughed, from the bottom of his heart, for the first time ever since coming to this world. "I don't mind the old days to be honest."

'Ding! You should! This tribulation is fiercer than your old days! Don't dream of facing one of them oneday, or else I can't guarantee your safety.'

"Don't be overprotected! My life was always a life of constant challenges and risks!"

'Ding! Stop talking and focus. Your mission is to kill that monster.'

"What?!! C'mon, be serious, how can I possibly do that?!!" he was shocked to know his current mission. "If it's like that, I would gladly accept the lightning redemption!"

'Ding! Don't be stupid! Your test is to use lightning as well! Just get as close as possible to this pathetic worm and let us finish this long fight.'

Arthur didn't get the meaning of the system, yet he kept getting closer to the monster. "Is this close enough?" he was already at the inner circle of his pillars, the one he once stood at from the start.

'Ding! Nice, now I want you to attack the heavens.'

"Attack what?!!" Arthur instantly shouted, "how can I possibly do that?!!"

'Ding! Just release your arrows up and wait.'

"Tsk," Arthur directed his arrows to the sky. For the two masters here they saw Arthur point his bow to the clouds then his arrows went missing the moment after.

They didn't know where they went, and their minds didn't provide any answers to them except one. "You still are shrouded in mysteries," Mr. E muttered while Amanda watched with anticipation what would happen next.

Yet both of them were destined to be disappointed! What Arthur experienced was considered something happening in another plane, not seen or felt by the two of them.

So, when his arrows went into the dim sky, the sky rumbled and he saw thick tongues of lightning branching off the places his arrows just hit.

"What is going to happen? What magic is going to occur?" he muttered to himself and his system didn't answer, as the answer was about to present itself right away!

'Ding! Keep firing!' the system urged and he complied.

After the fifth volley, the original dim sky turned to be filled with lightning all over it. His arrows went to hit everywhere, and the moment the sky was covered in this veil of lightning, the lightning started to be released downwards!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The lightning kept hitting everything around him except for him. "Amanda!" he shouted in panic while turning to spot her; yet she was absolutely fine!

'Ding! Don't worry, this thunder is the cheat help you can use at any tribulation. After all your tests will all share the same thing; being against creatures way above your strength.'

"Wow, so I can use this all the time? And why Amanda is saved from the lightning?"
