Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

The crow couldn't do anything but nod and silently listen to their words. The more they spoke, the more shocked he became until they finished.

"Get me out!" the crow suddenly rose his head to the sky, "get me out now!"

Arthur was on the outside listening to all the talk the three were having in his ghost mode. He didn't want to be the one to tell the crow about the bad news, yet he also didn't want to miss his reaction.

"Get him out," so when the crow shouted in deep rage and demanded to get out, Arthur slowly opened his eyes and asked Gege to open a portal for him.

The next moment the crow darted out of the portal while Doaf and Amera followed.

They feared the crow would do anything stupid to Arthur or to himself.

"Where the hell is that cloud?" the moment the crow got himself out, he rose high in the sky while taking a wide shot all around, "someone tell me now where that damned cloud is!"

Arthur looked at Amera and Doaf before the three sighed simultaneously. They all understood what the crow wanted to do. He wanted to go back to the highest realms and join the war up there.

"It's pointless," Doaf tried to reason with him, "things up there are... much more complicated than you might think."

"Don't tell me what I can and I can't do!" the crow was on the verge of exploding, "I want to go back now! Just tell me where the hell that cloud is!"

"It's gone," Arthur had to step in and stop his madness right away, "it's already gone."

"G... Gone! How?!!" The crow seemed to lose most of his power of rage and instead helplessness prevailed over his body and face. "I... can't go back then?" he asked in a low and depressed tone.

"We have a part to do here," Amera tried to console him, "my grandmaster even sent me with many of her elites to fight here."

"Here?" the crow raised his head and laughed a bitter one, "this is a low realm Amera... A f*cking low realm! What possibly such a realm could do in the course of such war? Huh?"

His words made everyone freeze and didn't know what to say back to him.

"Even if there are thousands, tens of thousands of such low worlds then they would matter nothing at all in front of a single high world! You know I'm telling the truth, and I dare you to deny it!"

"I dare to," Arthur had to step this from escalating to a path of no retreat for the crow, "this realm isn't just a mere lower realm."

"Says the one who sees these worlds as his home," the crow sneered and Arthur wasn't mad at him for such an attitude.

It was acceptable to act like this. Even Arthur would do the same if he knew his world would be on the verge of destruction or even got that bitter end already.

And the most frustrating thing of all was that they couldn't even tell if the crow world was still standing or it was already crushed to nothing.

"It's not that," Arthur firmly said, "more of the highest realm mages will swarm this world and any world I go to soon. This fight isn't less important than fighting up there."

"As if I'd believe it," the crow sneered.

"Her grandmaster believed this," Arthur pointed to Amera before pointing to Doaf, "and his grandmaster believed this a long time ago as well. He selected me, a no name from the lowest realm to be the young master of the caln! This isn't a mere coincidence."

"That proves nothing to me," the crow wasn't yet convinced, "I won't rest until I go back to my world."

"Then wait until they send reinforcements again," Arthur said in a calm tone as if he was expecting such an answer from the crow.

"Reinforcements?" the crow laughed in a hysterical way, "who is mad enough to care about such a low world?"

"They will," Arthur firmly said, "as they sent the cloud and all that grand army to hunt me down once, they won't hesitate to do it again."

The crow gave him that look which told him he didn't believe his words at all.

"Do you have a better plan then?" Arthur slowly asked.

The crow's face changed slightly as he didn't know what to say. "Staying here wouldn't help my clan and world at this war," he stubbornly said, "that's what I know."

"Well, I believe you will soon change your mind," Arthur slowly said before adding, "when the large army of the higher realm appears here."

"If they did," the crow said with a light tone, "and I don't believe they will, then I'll be on your side with my men. But for now..."

The crow's words held the intentions he had in his mind, and Arthur didn't object to that. He now wasn't lacking at all in regard to the higher realm mages or even his mecha numbers.

"Alright," Arthur nodded, "bring your boys and enter my world until things are cleared or over."

"No," yet the crow refused his kind gesture, "I prefer to roam the world freely on my own."

Arthur silently gazed at the hasty retreating crow.

'Should I watch him?' Gege asked, 'I don't like his attitude.'

'It's normal considering we have nothing to offer him other than disturbing news,' the golden dragon sighed.

"Let him be," Arthur started to fly towards the sect, "I don't believe he will ally with our enemies, his enemies."

'What about the ground army approaching the sect?' Gege asked, 'he was supposed to stop them.'

"He was supposed to decrease their numbers," Arthur corrected, "a mission anyone can do."

Gege understood his meaning. 'Which one do you want? Doaf or Amera?'

"Neither," Arthur found this a good chance to have a glimpse on the hidden plans of Aemie, "bring Nicole and half of her forces out."

'H- Half?!!' Gege was surprised even when knowing his line of thoughts.

'Ding! Taking half of the forces out isn't a good idea,' the system also expressed his worries. 'Ding! A small part is enough.'

"No," Arthur shook his head, "only when they had the assurance to complete the task of mine with ease then they will show their true colors to me."

He wasn't aiming to reduce the numbers of his enemies. He knew he was able to crush them in one full swoop. However the situation held great importance for other matters as well.

Defeating the army of monsters, mages, and giants and securing the sect wasn't his top priority for now. Preserving the sect, exposing the traitors safely, and knowing what Aemie planned for him took the most of his attention and care.
