Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

"It's coming!"

It didn't take much time before the cracks became longer and thicker.

'dunno what that thing might do if it enters here,' Gege said in a distressed tone.

"What about the fight outside?" Arthur calmly asked with a crazy idea popping up in his mind at this point.

'You can't be thinking of doing that… That's madness!' Gege said in a deep tone.

'Ding! What do you plan to do?' the system asked.

"I see then things outside aren't going the way I planned," Arthur ignored the two comments before adding: "Open me a portal now!"

'No,' Gege refused without second thinking about it, 'more of those lycans are coming from everywhere. That monster attracted their attention and the bad news is it's focusing on getting here.'

"That's why you have to open a portal," Arthur shouted in anger, "'don't disobey me! Open that damn portal now!"

'You are planning to get outside and play the guide for that mass murderer… Damn I like it!' The golden dragon was excited yet his opinion wasn't taken seriously by the other two.

"Open the portal… Now!" Arthur's words made Gege feel shiver all over her soul. Even at the garden world, the entire world trembled out of her fear.

Despite her consciousness, Arthur's thoughts were so dangerous at this moment.

'A… Alright,' she couldn't help but comply, 'but take care…'

"Just open the portal now," Arthur tried to be calm as he said each word with gritted teeth.

"Woosh!"

The next moment the portal opened next to him. He didn't hesitate in jumping there and the next moment he appeared outside.

'This is madness!' Gege said in fear as Arthur didn't hurry to leave.

Instead he flew up high in the air, dancing between the giant tentacles of that gigantic octopus without getting in touch with any of them.

Despite this seemed very dangerous, it was enough to keep every single lycans off him.

And from what he could see, there were already many of them around.

"How did they come here so fast?" Arthur felt more doubt the more he saw things around. He was now surrounded with hundreds of lycans, something that shouldn't happen.

'They… appeared from hidden groups beside this place,' Gege said in hesitation, 'They must have escaped her surveillance.'

"Or they are starting to act smart," Arthur said.

'Ding! I believe this is a rare case,' the system suddenly said, 'Ding! those lycans look slightly different like special forces or something.'

'This isn't the time to talk about that,' Gege said before suddenly shouting, 'you should run, run now!'

"No, I didn't come out to run," Arthur glanced finally at the head of that gigantic octopus. As he kept rising high in the air, the octopus had no other option but to emerge from the water.

And that was something Arthur precisely wanted.

'Please don't,' Gege was able to read his mind and thoughts. She knew what he intended to do and tried to stop him.

"Just shut up," Arthur wasn't in the mood or had the luxury to argue with her. The next moment he stopped rising up, turned around himself in full circle before letting his body fall with his head towards the ground.

The tentacles were already entangled around each other, forming some sort of a net. In front of him, a long tunnel appeared surrounded by the tentacles of that octopus.

"Roar!"

The monster seemed enraged by Arthur's actions. In his hand the phantom sword flashed as he directed a direct hit towards the exposed monster's head.

"Roar!"

And that made the monster roar out in deep pain.

"Yeah, go berserk," Arthur was intimidated by this roar especially when the net he worked hard to form was now broken by the monster.

Yet such move was followed instantly with giant lashes of these tentacles, hitting for hundreds of meters around anything moving.

All the lycans who were trying to reach out to him were simply smashed under the monster's tentacles. Not a single one could resist such a giant force and that made Arthur smile in contempt.

'Watch out!' Gege shouted in an alarmed tone yet Arthur didn't need her shout.

He already was aware keenly of anything moving around him. The tentacles after hitting everyone around landed over the surface of the pond.

And giant waves exploded in the air like dams.

"Time to dance for the second time," Arthur just paused a hundred meters above the head of that monster before turning around and started flying up again.

His sudden maneuver didn't come that easily. Each single part of his dragonair's body was immensely stressed by this action.

Yet he had to do it to ensure the success of his plan.

"Roar!"

The monster saw him doing that and was instantly enraged once more. This time it chose to open its giant jaw and release its giant and long tongue.

Yet Arthur was well aware of it and was ready to evade it by sudden acceleration that took him a hundred meters up in less than a blink of an eye.

"Woosh!"

"Woosh!"

"Woosh!"

Yet the monster wasn't satisfied and released all of its tentacles after him. Arthur did like the last time, danced around in the air while evading those tentacles.

And another net was formed while more lycans were getting closer to his location.

Like the first time, Arthur just reached a certain height before turning around and landed towards the monster.

And he launched one sword hit and that was enough to take down most of the lycans coming here.

"Is there more coming?" Arthur flew up for the third time and was chased by the monster's tentacles and angry roars.

'Nope, they are the only ones around,' Gege said, 'less than twenty now survived.'

"Good," Arthur nodded in contempt, "open the portal."

'Now?' Gege tried to make sure he meant what he said, 'right here?'

"Sure, why not?" Arthur smiled before adding, "be ready to receive our guest. I'm sure it's not attacking me out of hostility."

'He wasn't trying to use its full power,' the golden dragon figured the same thing as well, 'but that doesn't make it a friend.'

"It needs something from me," Arthur jumped instantly inside the portal Gege just opened for him, "after figuring out what it is, I can determine if it's a friend or not."

'Ding! It looks like a bad move to me.'

"Do we have a choice in that?" Arthur shrugged, "besides he isn't my enemy, making him a very valuable asset."
