Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

"Kill everyone fighting," Arthur didn't have time to distinguish between allies and traitors, "all loyalists move away, or else don't blame me for killing you."

His shouts came to stop many from moving to help their friends. They hesitantly stood there while watching the growing number of mages and mechas flooding off Gege's portal.

And the sounds of explosions just kept raging out loud everywhere the next few minutes.

"Woosh!"

Just in the middle of such chaos, long curved portals opened up inside the world. Amera already reached the place of the tower and the supporting array.

She was calling them out to help.

"Damn!"

Arthur watched all this chaos and couldn't help but turn his eyes off this. "Tell my forces to stay here," he depressingly said, "tell those loyalists to follow me outside."

He didn't hesitate to move towards the closest portal. Just before he could pass through it, Gege came to ask:

'What about my portal?'

"Take it back," Arthur firmly said, "we have far more important matters to handle now."

He spotted many of those standing hesitantly on the ground moving towards their nearest portals. He also saw some of those fighting mages running towards the portals as well.

"Give my orders, stop those traitors from getting near the portals at any cost!"

'Got it!'

The next moment he passed through the portal to find himself outside.

The first thing he saw was that tower standing erect just in front of him. It seemed more gigantic than it looked from far away.

"So we're already at it," Arthur moved fast towards the front, "there are traitors inside," he shouted.

"What?! Where?!!" Amera was standing in one spot nearby. Arthur didn't need to check anything as he was pretty sure she was standing over the center of that array.

She could only try and stabilize it for much longer until everyone else came out from her world.

"Some attacked us inside your world," Arthur had another goal in mind, so he shouted while running fast towards the tower, "I entangled them inside but expect few mages coming out now. Also don't forget to make a counter against any more traitors."

"..."

Amera's face sank the moment she heard that. She couldn't believe her ears until more mages came out and their facial expression told her everything.

They looked very exhausted and perplexed, like they just experienced a tough situation inside.

"Spread up in my direction," she didn't have time to spare and ask about what happened. They were racing against time here.

Arthur also didn't have time to care about this. He trusted Amera in doing the right thing while he just reached the tower.

"Now what?" he asked, "tell me what to do to start absorbing this energy."

'It's easy,' the golden dragon said, 'I've told the system about the moves and he can control your hand to do it. Also Gege will provide the material now for you.'

'Here we go,' Gege opened the portal next before large batches of materials appeared.

Before Arthur could ask about anything, he felt his body being controlled by the system. 'Ding! Don't resist, we don't have time to explain anything,' the system said before he started controlling Arthur's body.

The first thing that happened was for Arthur to injure himself. The system then controlled his body to make him jump around while letting his blood fall over the ground.

An array appeared next in the shape of a twenty-one star shape. After that Arthur went to the materials. He started grabbing them in large amounts before throwing them all over the array.

It seemed chaotic at first, yet after a few minutes he got to see a pattern in what the system was doing.

'Ding! More, I need more materials,' the system said and that seemed logical to Arthur.

Each stach of materials thrown on the ground either landed inside the gaps of lines drawn out by his blood or over the lines themselves.

Either way all the materials burnt into ash the moment they touched the ground. That made Arthur realize something.

"It's a charging array!" he muttered in deep shock as this kind of array only was heard of and not known even to cultivators in his past life.

This sort of the array was considered legendary, even mythical to some.

'You got it right, that's awesome,' the golden dragon said in praise, 'this sort of arrays were already lost from the knowledge of mages.'

"So this isn't something mages in this universe are aware of?" Arthur wanted to know more about this array. He had time now to spare and ask, especially when his body was flashing like crazy all over the place under the control of his system.

'It was driven from the originals,' the golden dragon said, 'as one who lived in an era close to the end of the originals, I stumbled upon a relic by chance where I found all about this array.'

"Those originals... who were they?" Arthur was now filled with curiosity about those originals.

'No one knows,' the golden dragon sighed, 'but to me... they are like gods and we are mortals.'

Arthur didn't find this theory unbelievable. After all, anything related to originals was always accompanied by a veil of mystery and shocking results.

He got in touch with many things related to those originals since he came to this universe. For him the golden dragon's theory seemed a bit logical and realistic.

'Ding! I'm almost done!' the system suddenly said, distracting him from whatever he was thinking about, 'Ding! Get ready, the moment I give your body back you'll need to put both hands over the tower to activate the array.'

"I'm ready," Arthur said, yet all of sudden he heard a loud bang and sounds of ruckus coming from his back. "Gege..." he shouted and the next moment he got the answer he wanted.

'Traitors managed to get out,' she hurriedly said, 'they are trying to disturb the array Amera is controlling.'

"Damn them!" Arthur cursed, "get all my forces out, let's face them once and for all!"

'There is more,' she paused before adding, 'those who went to fight Doaf are now retreating towards here.'

"Already?" Arthur paused before adding, "send a word to him, let him lead everyone and come here. If they wanted this place to be the final battle then be it."

He then regained his freedom over his body. "Form a tight defense around me. No one is permitted to come, even if it was Doaf or Amera."

'Got it,' Gege knew how tight this situation was and so she only complied and didn't ask for anything more. She kept all her doubts and opinions to herself, and started to execute his orders to the letter.
