Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

And Arthur was right.

"Seal you filthy hands witch!"

This sudden shout came all of sudden while the old lady got a sword attack coming from her back.

She didn't seem to expect it, and that hit was enough to send her flying midair.

The connection with her hidden world ceased and the next moment a lady appeared flying in the air.

Air boiled around her like it was corresponding with her anger. The sword she held in her right hand wasn't that big, yet it was so sharp.

It emitted arcs of blue lightning, giving it an eerie feeling.

No one looked at that sword and didn't feel the shiver down their spines. And the scariest thing was the fact that this terrifying aura didn't come from the sword, but from its owner.

"Aemie," the old lady stood up while feeling pain in her back, "is this how you treat your auntie?"

"Screw you!" Aemie screamed in deep hatred and anger that even her voice created a shock wave strong enough to knock every single monster or mage around down.

She was furious, and she seemed ready to put her life on the line to quench that anger.

"Hahaha, it's inevitable," the old lady laughed in a mad way, "this world… your pathetic clan is destined to fall."

"Not under my watch!" Aemie didn't hurry to attack despite the urge to do that. In return she raised her head high while arching her back.

"Listen to my words… I will keep her hands off that portal and you need to kill anything coming out of it."

Her words were perfectly heard by everyone around, friends and foes alike. Her enemies turned to the old lady waiting for their instructions.

"What are you waiting for?" the old lady laughed before she also flew in the air, "kill every single one of them. Leave this kid to me."

Aemie sneered before she darted so fast towards her aunt and the two started their own battle.

"It's our turn now," Arthur had a change of face the moment Aemie appeared. He knew things shifted towards their favor and all he needed to do wasn't to run away, but run forward.

He had to push for his victory and with persistence and patience he would get it… Everyone would.

Doaf also stopped the suicidal charge he was doing. He instantly retreated and regrouped with his army before they all fought the monsters and mages around.

"Gege…" Arthur suddenly shouted, "use your magic now!"

'Leave those fries to me.'

Gege knew what she was supposed to do. In the next moment her portals appeared all over the place where she kept moving allies from everywhere and scattered them all over the battlefield.

Even Doaf and his forces got in this gigantic net of her portals.

After her evolution, she could control portals for a large stretch of land without any problems at all.

As for Arthur, he wielded his sword once more and started his spree of hunting down mages and monsters.

His technique seemed a bit stronger than before, yet when he used it he knew where its upgrade lay.

"I can wound them easier now," he celebrated this, but he didn't lower his guard at all.

He knew that the old lady sat her gazes over him. As he glimpsed a couple of times in the fight with Aemei, he knew this old hag couldn't be underestimated.

She was strong, fast, and decisive. He saw her sacrifice group of her monsters and mages without batting an eye.

In return Aemie seemed to struggle a little in dealing with her. He didn't know why but it seemed age didn't affect that old lady at all.

'It's all a false facade,' the golden dragon gave him an explanation without the need to ask for one, 'she is burning her life force in exchange for this immense power and super speed.'

Arthur understood it instantly, however that meant also another thing.

"She doesn't fight to win," he slowly muttered.

'Exactly,' the golden dragon agreed, 'she is trying to waste our time here.'

Arthur felt something was off. If that old lady wasn't here to win, then why would she risk her life for a fight with Aemei.

With her super speed she could easily run away and escape unscathed from here.

And that simple detail made all the difference at this moment.

"She is trying to hide something," Arthur realized this fast, "she is having something else going on here."

'Ding! I can't sense anything wrong about her,' the system was puzzled as Arthur.

"Wait…" Arthur suddenly stopped fighting and started to stand motionless in his place for a few minutes. He didn't need to say anything to Gege, as the latter worked her magic and made sure nothing would come to harm him.

In return his eyes were fixated over the fast paced fight that was going on there. For him this fight was something over his level by heavens, yet he didn't really care about the fight at all.

He was absorbed by one single thought… That old lady was trying to cover up something.

"Damn!" At last he could see it. It was present in front of his eyes all this time, in front of everyone's eyes without noticing anything wrong.

That old lady… she played them all for fools!

"How can I seal a portal?" Arthur instantly asked while turning around to assess the battlefield. Everywhere portals appeared and disappeared, carrying all the mages and mechas in this piece of the world to kill their enemies.

They were doing just fine, yet their enemies seemed endless. Each mage or monster killed, a couple more would appear from that portal.

And Arthur decided to seal it.

'Ding! What's wrong about that portal?' the system couldn't help but ask, 'Ding! I don't think our current forces can't buy enough time for the main army of that master to show up.'

"It would be too late," Arthur hurriedly said, "we need to act, we need to act now!"
