Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

Meanwhile Arthur was still immersed in that bright light while not knowing any of this.

He was still mad, feeling angry towards the dirty trick that the old man did to him. He didn't want to exit that world so soon, after all this was a golden chance and now he lost it.

"That bastard…" he couldn't help but mutter to himself in anger while he was bathed with that light. He lost his consciousness for an unknown period of time as the sudden influx of this energy was too much at first.

However it seemed his body kept getting stronger and thus he regained his awareness. But his rage never ceased to boil.

"I shouldn't leave that trial until I finish it!" he shouted in extreme rage, however he deeply knew it was already over.

Once getting out of the trial, one couldn't return no matter how bitter or regretful or wishful he was.

It was only one shot, and despite winning it he still felt deep regret.

"Boom!"

All of sudden his body landed over the ground without any warning. A loud explosive sound happened as he found himself standing inside a familiar world.

"This…" he glanced around while recognizing the Golam lake and his garden world.

'You came back!' Gege's sound reverberated in his ears, 'finally! I was deadly worried about you!'

'Ding! I told you, he was inside a trial to progress his power,' the system said in a confident tone and yet Arthur could sense the happiness in his voice.

'Welcome back kid, you know how to make old men like me worry,' the golden dragon said in a tired tone.

"I'm… glad I'm back," he lied as he wasn't that happy to return here. "What happened while I was away?"

'Many things happened,' Gege instantly said.

"Oh," Arthur suddenly recalled the war he left in the middle, "didn't the war end already?" he couldn't help but ask while feeling puzzled.

He sacrificed himself to get rid of that pagoda and portal together. He succeeded which meant there was no reason for the war to continue.

But from the tone of Gege just now he realized things were far from over.

'You are wrong,' the golden dragon said in his tired tone, 'things… just got more complicated since you left.'

Arthur frowned. "How come?" he couldn't help but gaze towards the direction of the tree of mirrors, "Is it still happening? What about the sect?"

'Well…' Gege's hesitation made it clear things weren't that good. He instantly turned into a dragon and in the next moment he soared high in the air.

As he flew towards the direction of the tree, the three beings kept briefing him about what happened while he was away.

"So… you say the leader of this war here is that punk from the dark angel clan?" Arthur asked before adding in puzzlement, "is he that strong? He is an angel after all!"

'Angels are very nasty being either white or dark,' the golden dragon said, 'they think themselves above all. In the light camp they held the position of being the boss, like the dark camp as well.'

"So they are this strong," Arthur said in realization.

'Not strong,' the golden dragon corrected him, 'in fact they are much weaker than anyone else.'

"Then…" Arthur paused as he felt more puzzled.

'They are unique,' Gege hurriedly said as she hated keeping herself silent and watching others talking to Arthur.

'Like our little cry baby here, they possess a myriad of special abilities and techniques that make them stand on a higher ground than everyone else.'

'Who is the cry baby?' Gege said in an aggressive tone, however Arthur had to step in and stop this unneeded conflict at this critical moment.

"So they are special in what?"

'Ding! That idiot up there is able to create portals,' the system said, 'Ding! As far as we know, he can summon portals that can link many worlds together.'

"Ah," Arthur nodded in realization, "so he was the one responsible for summoning that annoying pagoda here."

'This isn't all,' the golden dragon said, 'he also created another portal where it will link to all the higher realms of the dark clans.'

"What?!!" Arthur felt an instant threat, "does this mean… oh, that's bad!"

'It is,' Gege said, 'however everyone worked their best to stop him. Amera did a heroic part and now that portal is crumbling.'

'Ding! It's not only her doing,' the system interrupted her, 'Ding! I also got into contact with the world's will and made her step in to help.'

'You two did great, satisfied now little kids?' the golden dragon seemed to be annoyed to stay here and watch the two do things to help while he couldn't.

"Then the war is about to be over," Arthur took a deep breath and stopped another unneeded fight, "that's a relief."

'No it isn't!' yet the golden dragon aggressively objected, 'things are far from over here, kid!'

"…" Arthur didn't know what to say except to stay silent and wait for the golden dragon or anyone else to explain.

'Ding! That dark angel mage seems to make this war personal,' the system said.

'He is trying to do something fishy now,' Gege said.

'He is going to make another version of the portal he failed to make,' the golden dragon said clearly, 'he is going to make not only one, but as many portals as possible.'

"Is it… possible to do that?" Arthur already arrived at the tree and landed there while waiting for the golden dragon's answer.

'He can,' the golden dragon said, 'I believe he has help from other dark angel mages on the other sides as well.'

"You mean… at those higher realms?" Arthur felt more threat now than before. "We need to stop this!"

'It's not that threatening though,' the golden dragon tried to console him by exposing more facts, 'after all the quality of these portals can't be compared to the one he was initially trying to make.'

'Plus he is going to die anyway,' Gege forced herself inside the talk again.

"Die? Is he that wounded?" Arthur stepped inside the world of the tree of mirrors before a large mirror appeared in front of him. Yet its surface was still showing nothing, only his reflection.

'No, he looks totally fine to me,' Gege said.

'Ding! As if you can see him, humph,' the system seemed on the edge here as he said in a cold tone.

"What exactly happened between the three of you while I was away?" Arthur couldn't help but shout in faint anger, "this isn't the time to bicker at each other like this! We are in front of such a crisis and you all fight against each other?"
