Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

Just as he was about to continue his hunt the entire world turned upside down all of sudden.

"What is going on?" he paused and turned towards a certain direction, the direction of his city. "Damn, I was too late," he was shocked to see the sky over the entire horizon turn dark all of sudden like it was night time.

'Ding! I sense a special kind of power.'

'It's the power of the higher realm,' the golden dragon said, 'that's impossible! How can they start the array without proper flags and runes?'

Arthur's face changed as he deeply muttered, "I told you… this foe of mine isn't simple."

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down his disturbed thoughts, "What can I do now to stop it?"

'Either find the array and destroy it or go to the controller and kill him,' the golden dragon gave him two choices.

And Arthur knew which one he should select.

"Summon my dragons," he muttered, "I have to spread the word to every single team now."

'Are you going after the arrays?' Gege asked.

"After the one controlling them," Arthur ruthlessly said before turning around and headed straight towards his city. "It's time to cut the head of the snake and get rid of these problems in one go."

'But…' Gege hesitated.

"Don't worry," Arthur muttered, "I won't take such a route until it's too late to save everything."

He knew she was worried about that monster coming to this world. He just hoped he wasn't too late to stop it.

The next moment his dragon army appeared and he sent them all with one message: Go back to the city where the final battle would erupt.

The distance between him and the city took roughly four hours to cross. During this many of his scattered forces appeared and joined him.

"Have we failed?" Doaf asked in a dignified tone.

"Unfortunately yes," Arthur sighed, "all we can do now is to crush that army before that beast arrives here."

"Sigh, we should have done this from the start," the crow said.

"I just hope what we did so far would have an impact over my enemy's plan," Arthur muttered before adding, "now prepare everyone for a brutal fight. We are fighting against time here."

They all nodded before relaying orders to everyone around. Just when he reached the outer parameter of the city his forces were gathered at last and he was ready for the next brutal fight.

"How do you want to approach this army?" Amera asked with a puzzled look over her face.

In front of them at least one million mages and monsters stood between their weapons and their target.

"With a big bang," Arthur evilly smiled, 'Prepare my army inside, make them ready for a full out war.'

'Will I summon them here?' Gege asked.

"Will we start our full out war from here?" Doaf asked.

"We will penetrate as deep as we could first," Arthur answered both of them before laughing, "let's ignore the gigantic body of this snake and cut off its tiny dragonair's head."

"This…" Amera wasn't the only hesitant one here.

"If we don't do the impossible we all are going to die here… this is what I can guarantee to all of you," he turned to face the three leaders of his forces before adding, "make sure to penetrate as deeply as you can before I summon the rest."

"Will they be enough?" the crow sighed, "they are many in number but low on power."

"Don't worry," Arthur said, "but I'll need you to lead them in the next offensive and defensive fight."

"Defensive?" Doaf asked with a loss, look over his face.

"This is my plan…"

Arthur told them a brief of the plan in his mind before they all had a change in their faces for the better. "We might stand a chance this way," Amera admitted.

"I hope so," Arthur said before turning to his foe and great forces, "let's just hope time won't let us down… charge!"

He didn't hesitate to move first to the front. The small elite force moved after him, forming a small wedge shape that looked strangely tiny in front of the ocean of enemies up front.

And these enemies were already ready for Arthur and his small team. That didn't startle anyone of them, after all they kept hunting down all the teams for an entire day now.

That dragonair and his forces would have gotten a wind of their actions, plus many intel about the size of their forces and their current strength.

Yet this was another factor Arthur decided to bet on… the surprise which he would bring by his hidden forces and true plan.

The first thing he did was to use his strongest weapon early from the start… his pillar and array.

Just before covering up the distance between him and the enemies, the array given to him by George was activated.

"Rumble!"

A familiar explosion erupted that swept away a good number of heavily dense enemies along with it. Just before the activation of the pillar, Arthur went to a side away from his forces so they wouldn't be severely hit by it.

As for him, he was thrown back like a rock to hit the ground before standing up again. "Damn, it's getting more ruthless," he cursed out loud before turning to the sky again and headed towards the gap he created.

And he wasn't alone.

His force moved earlier and started to kill, expanding the gap in one direction… the center of this gigantic army.

Just before they started moving they discussed among themselves the places where that despicable dragonair would be at. They selected two spots where the forces there looked uniquely stronger and denser.

If he was at any place then he would be surrounded by strong fighters to protect his safety.

After all this entire war would be determined by who would succeed in their mission first, him summoning the beast or them killing him.

"Take cover," Arthur shouted when the pillar was again activated. The pillar needed only one hundred hits of his arrows to unleash its power. Despite moving in different directions before its activation, he knew they would be hit nonetheless.

And he figured out to warn them ahead of the impact.

"Rumble!"

The second activation was much more violent than he imagined. He stood up from the crater his body created on the ground before coughing up blood. "Last time it needed four hits to cause me this damage… I need to find another way to use it."

Arthur flew to the air again and this time the gap went wider after that devastational effect. His forces were hit but they were much prepared thanks to his beforehand warning.

"Charge," Doaf roared while he led with the two others everyone to the front. As Arthur went to the sky he glanced at the rear to find the gap was already circled by the enemies' forces.

They were now totally surrounded from all sides… no way to retreat except by advancing... no way to live but by killing.

"Take cover!"

Just as the second pillar was about to be activated he shouted in warning. This time he tried to use another way to do it.
