Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

'In fact your spiritual energy is considered an outsider to this universe,' the golden dragon said, 'it's no wonder nothing can face it.'

"That's good news actually," Arthur smiled, "we can now have a weapon to destroy it."

'I don't advise that,' the golden dragon suddenly said, 'doing so will trigger the energy inside. Imagine releasing such energy to the entire world… I won't be surprised if it crushed the world with it.'

"This…" Arthur seemed a bit hesitant, "then what should we do?"

'Stop the activation, and try to find a way to send this tower to the space outside.'

Arthur went into silence for long minutes before Gege returned with more news.

'It has drawings of flying angels and demons fighting against each other on its side,' she said.

"Flying angels and demons?" Arthur didn't get what she said, but it seemed the golden dragon knew what she was talking about.

'Who is winning?' he asked, 'the angels or the demons?'

'What?' Gege asked in doubt, 'how can I tell?'

"Is there a difference?" Arthur couldn't help but ask.

'There is a great difference,' the golden dragon paused for a long minute before adding, 'if the angels are winning then it's a light based artifact. If the demons are winning then it's a dark artifact.'

Arthur didn't get his point, so he asked, "What does that even mean?"

'Imagine light artifacts being charged with dark energy from those dark mages… This is totally different than charging a dark artifact,' the golden dragon tried to explain, 'if it was the former, then no matter what they do they won't be able to show the true power of it. If it's the latter then we need to worry.'

Arthur understood his point there. "So if it's a light one, we can turn things around?"

'What do you mean?' the golden dragon asked.

"Like trying to harvest this power and control it by ourselves," Arthur explained his point, "for me it's hard. I'm considered a mix of dark and light energy user after all. But for Doaf and Amera… I bet things will work fine for them."

'Ding! Your power is mainly light,' the system said.

"But dragonairs are a dark species," Arthur took a deep breath, "I doubt I can harness that power for myself."

'At least you should try,' the golden dragon advised, 'this power is so pure and massive. Gaining it will definitely save you a lot of trouble and much time.'

"I know," Arthur sighed, "but if not then I might end up blowing myself, right?"

'…'

The golden dragon didn't answer, yet Gege returned with more news.

'Angles are killing demons,' she said, 'so does this mean it's a light based artifact?'

'Yeah,' the golden dragon said, 'you need to get your hands over it before anyone else.'

"It's risky," Arthur didn't agree with such a suicidal plan, "I should seek Doaf or Amera's help."

'Ding! You should first try to get that power first,' the system said.

'I can help with that,' Gege stepped in, 'my power is only light based after all.'

"Oh… Forgot about that," Arthur said in realization, "so you can get that power?"

'She can't,' the golden dragon corrected, 'but she can act as a transfer, helping you in regulating the energy absorption for yourself.'

'Why can't I take it?' Gege seemed a little annoyed about this.

'It's a very pure form of concentrated energy,' the golden dragon explained, 'you can't handle it all. Only a small fraction of it will be useful to you.'

'What about the golden pearl then?' she didn't lose hope here, 'we can nourish this glutinous pearl by that.'

'It might work,' the golden dragon agreed, 'but first we need to let Arthur's body handle this energy and not retaliate against him.'

'Ding! You need to mix his power with that power using your body,' the system explained further, 'Ding! This way he won't face any trouble while absorbing the energy.'

'If it's for my golden baby then I can't disagree with that,' Gege seemed to reach a conclusion in her mind, 'let's do this!'

"Just hold on a second," Arthur wasn't supporting this idea even now, "we need to first test it."

'Once you get there you can test it as much as you like,' the golden dragon said, 'but the problem now lies in those defending it.'

"Lycans?" Arthur sneered, "'Gege, spread the news and tell everyone to get ready. Inform them with the lycans arrangement and defenses, numbers and their estimated power rank as well."

'On it,' Gege enthusiastically said. She seemed to get hyped up everytime Arthur asked anything from her.

'Ding! Do we need an array to channel the energy there?' the system suddenly asked.

'Damn! I forgot to mention it,' the golden dragon cursed, 'we need an array before we can do it. Thanks for reminding me.'

"What array?" Arthur was still flying fast while the monster behind was following his trail.

'Luckily it's a personal array for your case,' the golden dragon said, 'but you have to be protected all the time. Any interruption and you'll get backlash.'

"Damn! Nothing is easy nowadays," Arthur cursed before adding, "so we have to wait until we clear all hostiles from around the tower?"

'Bad move,' the golden dragon said, 'if the array activating the tower failed, the energy inside might go berserk. In fact I can't tell if the energy will dissipate or explode.'

Arthur felt worse at the moment. He planned to wait until all the lycans were killed and the area got secured.

But looking at things now he knew this was a mere dream. He had to interfere in the middle of everything and pray not to be interrupted.

"That's… quite impossible," Arthur took a deep breath before admitting the real truth, "we can't do it. Let's just let it explode."

'And lose the world with it? No, it's a big no for me and you,' the golden dragon said, 'don't forget that giant monster running after you. You can use her to defend you.'

"That's not helping," Arthur shook his head, "I doubt I can get near the tower without having all attacks focused on me."
