Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

Inside his tribulation, Arthur kept trying to push himself forwards against that giant wall. His enemy kept laughing, teasing him, and even dating him from time to time.

All were headed towards making Arthur shaken mentally until that monster finally grew tired and full of Arthur.

The moment this happened, the monster flashed fast and went directly towards Arthur. Arthur saw a flash of light coming directly towards him, and it was moving so fast that he could barely lift his arm and receive this enemy with a defensive move.

"Clang!"

Two swords clashed together, creating a large sparkle of fire that was big enough to cover the two of them in between.

However Arthur clenched his fist and with his other sword he waved towards the monster.

"Clang!"

Another violent clash happened and this time the monster lacked his charging bonus. The sword exchange threw the monster backwards while Arthur only took a few steps to the back out of this exchange.

As he did so, he felt a sudden threat coming fast at him. "Damn it!" without any hesitation he took a single step forward.

This simple step made that deadly threat vanish. It was like the entire world was waiting for him to take a step backwards so it could eat him alive.

"So this was your plan all along? Hahaha, pathetic!" Arthur didn't show any sign of weakness or fear. In fact knowing what his enemy exactly wanted made him more confident in his success in bypassing this hard obstacle.

"Come," Arthur took another step while watching the body of that monster stop midair hundreds of meters away, "I'll make you feel despair!"

"This is my line!" the monster roared as he felt intimidated and greatly humiliated by his failure. For Arthur to know what he wanted made the monster very enraged.

However there was no other option but to try this endless time to stop Arthur. Each time the monster would fly around, create a momentum for itself before it would jump at Arthur from the front.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

The entire world shook and was filled with violent explosive exchanges that happened between the two of them here. Arthur faced some difficulty at first to adjust to the violent exchanges with the monster.

For the first dozen times he was forced to retreat under the violent attacks of that monster.

Each time he retreated, a deadly sense of danger overwhelmed him, forcing him to take a step forward to avoid death.

Luckily for him he never failed to send the monster flying away each time, buying himself precious time to adjust, take a step forward, and even exceed the distance he stopped at before.

But later on Arthur started to adapt. Each time the monster attacked, Arthur didn't hesitate to jump forward and welcome it midway as well.

Force against force, a sword against a sword, an attack against an attack, things kept happening between the two in the same equal exchange.

However in fact it wasn't equal, as Arthur was gaining precious ground with each exchange from now on.

Even after being forced to retreat, the distance he crossed with his jump was enough to overcome that he lost with his retreat.

And so the monster started to be under pressure.

Arthur feared this would exhaust his mind, after all this challenge was all mind related. And yet after a long time passed he didn't feel tired, in return he felt refreshed and stronger.

With each step he took under such pressure he felt his mind was baptized and getting stronger. With each clash he felt his body was getting cleansed, and his energy was becoming purer.

Even his biggest nightmare, his golden pearl energy, didn't get depleted at all after that much fight. In fact it got expanded and he even felt it became like a running river inside his body.

"C'mon," Arthur started to see this as not an advisory he had to overcome but a rare chance he had to seize. He was like training himself, getting stronger with each exchange.

It was a feeling he lost a long time ago, the feeling of a cultivator getting stronger while facing strong foe and obstacles. Arthur felt hunger towards this feeling, and an unstoppable desire began to overwhelm him.

He wanted more, he wanted to have a deeper taste of this growing power with overcoming each obstacle.

Since he became a mage in this world, since appearing here and lost many things of his past, things he was always enjoying.

And this moment here was without a doubt one of those precious things he lacked here.

And thus things shifted. It didn't become the monster trying to stop Arthur at all cost, but instead Arthur started to chase the monster all around, trying to force exchanges upon him at any cost!

And that didn't only surprise the monster, but it also took away one of the monster's weapons.

The monster couldn't now build up its momentum as it was constantly hunted down by Arthur all over the world.

At first Arthur felt doubt and great hesitation in doing so. He feared that by moving away from the wall he would be punished by this world. He would be eaten alive.

However when he first did this on a whim, on impulse and without much thinking but to crave for more of that feeling, nothing happened to him.

And at this moment he realized the dirty and yet simple trick that he fell in. "This world... It's all lined by walls!!!" His sudden realization shocked him a lot before he reached the final conclusion.

"So moving in any direction means I'm heading towards the walls! Hahaha, keep running, I won't let you get away from my sight!"

Arthur turned from being on the back foot to the one leading this fight. His desire for power kept burning deep down his soul, igniting more strength and will to aid him in chasing that monster around.

Gradually he started to catch up to it before slamming heavily with his two swords. He was the one attacking now and the monster was the one on the backfoot, defending and getting thrown in the air time after time.
