Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

"Oh… I never thought they were this effective," Arthur checked his body and found many places void of his scales. Those lost were slowly replaced with others, but he didn't care about that.

He moved slowly towards the front while watching that giant monster fall on the ground with weakening roars. It was dying, and Arthur never thought his scales would do such a thing.

"They… are eating it from inside," once he reached the side of the monster he saw the wounds caused by his scales.

The wounds were getting deeper of its own will, while the tips of the scales were melting away and that added more to the agony of the monster.

'Ding! Your power contains an erosive effect from the start,' the system explained, 'Ding! So it's no wonder they can do such damage to this monster.'

'Take it in and I'll keep watching it,' Gege suddenly said, 'other monsters are getting closer now. You've a narrow window to escape.'

"Alright," Arthur put his hand over the body of the monster, taking it all inside his garden world and leaving nothing behind.

He then turned around and started running as fast as he could, leaving behind a very devastated area of land with a wide batch of red hot blood.

As he kept running forward for an hour, he finally got himself out of the trap these monsters were trying to lure him in. "These monsters are funnier than those in previous realms," he couldn't help but say while receiving a new intel about another trap.

'This time there are three monsters blocking the path upfront,' Gege said, 'and you need to kill them to get past that new trap.'

'Ding! I believe they must have some sort of a leader,' the system said, 'Ding! Or else how can they arrange such perfect traps in such a short time?'

'But they aren't from the same type of monsters,' Gege argued, 'those up front have the bodies of great snakes with heads of a bird.'

"I hope they don't have a boss," Arthur honestly said, "or else this won't end and I can't even go to hunt that boss down."

'Ding! You should get the help of Doaf and others,' the system advised.

"Not yet, I can deal with them on my own," Arthur was still feeling he had more strength to uncover in this world. "If things went bad then I can always summon them, right?"

'…'

'…'

The system and Gege didn't find any benefit to his actions. After all, his goal was to get to the mountain and take shelter there. Starting to fight monsters here was such a risky move the two didn't agree upon.

Yet Arthur had another opinion. "Through fighting I can adapt and get stronger," he muttered as he felt their objection to his actions, "and I need to know what powers I can unleash in this world."

'…'

'…'

Yet the two kept their silence while he only sighed.

'They are up front,' Gege warned, 'try to end this fast as more monsters are drawing near.'

"I'll do my best," Arthur decided to ditch his plan to play with these monsters for a while and decided to use all his might from the beginning.

Just in matters of minutes, the trees up front were smashed and fell to the sides while three giant snakes appeared with strange bird heads and very thick overlapping scales covering their bodies.

One was as long as one hundred meters, coiling its black body around itself while still moving forward with the help of its strong ponytail.

The second one was slightly shorter, around seventy meters only, but its dark yellow body was thicker than the first one and it had two long fangs coming off its big and wide mouth.

The third one was around ninety meters, and it had two small wings on the sides of its brown body.

"They even aren't from the same species," Arthur muttered before moving fast to the front and started attacking first using his laughs.

"Damn!" Yet the next moment these snakes evaded his attack with perfect timing while twisting their bodies around him, putting him in the center in such a swift move.

"They are fast," this time he didn't plan to hide all his powers as he flapped his wings and soared in the air moments before the three started their attacks.

Each rose its head high in the air, arched it to point its opened mouth over Arthur and a strong fountain of strange liquid erupted, aiming to hit him.

Yet he just managed to evade this, while watching the frost ground getting eroded and burnt away like a fountain of lava just felt over it.

"I can't get hit by any of those," Arthur decided, "make Camera ready, I might need her help soon."

He didn't hurry to summon her as he wanted to see if he could sustain the pressure against these monsters or not.

'Just don't summon her too late,' Gege sighed and he just turned around all of sudden and let his body slam hard over the dark green snake.

"Don't worry," he laughed before his sword hit the body of the snake finally, creating sparks of fire before creating a wound.

Then he was forced to fly again, evading the attacks coming from the other two snakes.

"Hiss!"

The dark green hissed loudly in sudden pain when the two attacks landed over the wound he just created. "They can help," he laughed and he directed his roars towards the wound, adding more agony to the snake.

He went then towards the next one, the black giant snake. "Damn! You run so fast!`` Yet as he tried to get near it, the snake kept running around, evading his pursuit while the other two snakes kept attacking him from the ground.

A strange fight erupted between flying low blue dragons against three moving fast on the ground giant snakes. Sometimes they tried to hit him using their spraying poison, and other times they used their tails and even the widely opened mouths and their intimidating looking fangs.

Eventually they had to use everything they got while he kept dancing, rising up and falling down, flying to the side and hitting each one of their giant bodies with much difficulty.

As time passed on, their bodies littered in many wounds before he finally sneered. "Time to end this," he finally stopped moving and received a triple direct hit from their tails, sending his body flying violently to one direction before slamming in the ice and creating a long groove over the brown dirt.

"It worked!" yet he wasn't worried by the fall or the wounds he got, but with the effect of his sudden rampage of deadly scales.

As he was physically hit, the scales darted towards everywhere. From such a close distance the snakes couldn't evade the flashing scales. Alongside their speed, the wounds covering up their bodies let them easily penetrate deeply inside their flesh.

And they wailed in extreme pain while twisting their bodies and raising their heads up high before finally slamming strongly over the ground.

"Come inside," he didn't hesitate to take them into his garden before flapping his wings and started to fly low, fly fast through the forest with extreme focus to not hit any tree on his hastily reatreating path.

'That… was close,' and Gege sighed when he finally managed to slip from the tiny gap created by the death of the three snakes.

"But I won at the end," he said while taking some healing pills and potions. "Is the path now clear?"

'For now,' Gege didn't promise anything, 'but you need to move faster, or else a bigger trap would be formed again.'

And without speaking much he started to flap his wings fiercely while trying his best to evade trees.

And if he couldn't he simply slammed at some, making them explode in the air, falling hundreds of meters away.
