Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur's words made everyone silent. They were all stressed out for him, that they started to release their pressured emotions once he got out.

And yet the time wasn't perfect for them to do such a thing to each other. In fact Arthur was the most pressured one here, feeling somehow responsible for that.

'Is this what that old man meant back then?' he thought to himself while recalling the meaningless words of that mysterious voice when he was forced out of there.

If not for that, he wouldn't be able to come here. If he was too late then things would end up in a much worse state than this.

He only kept playing inside that trial world only for his confidence the war was over and everyone was alright.

However he now realized how foolish it was for him to think this way.

"Now can anyone explain to me why he is going to die while he is perfectly well?" he asked while squeezing his temple, feeling extremely exhausted at the moment.

He kept fighting, fighting since he sat foot out of his academy. Since that moment and up till now he didn't enjoy a single moment of peace.

He missed his friends. He missed his past tranquil life as a cultivator. When he was one, he never felt this much stress at all.

The life of cultivation was so peaceful that could numb one's soul. However the life of the mage was so stressful that made him always on the edge.

"I had to take vacation oneday," he joked to himself while waiting for the answer to his question.

And the golden dragon was the one to answer him.

'He is going to have a strong backlash this time,' the golden dragon said before slowly explaining, 'each technique performed by the dark angels has its price. Failure meant grave punishment, something people called the angel's curse back in my time.'

"Aha," Arthur nodded in realization while the mirror started flashing, about to show up the scenes happening outside. "So he is going to die, but he refused to die out in peace… tsk, such a bitter loser indeed."

'They have such an ego that could rival gods themselves,' the golden dragon said.

"You said something about being the only one able to see him, how come?" Arthur asked his system while the mirror started to show off the real world outside.

'Ding! He is invisible,' the system said, 'Ding! No one can see him or even feel his presence.'

"Oh, is that so?" Arthur returned to his human form after stepping inside the tree world, "then how come you are able to see him?"

'It's not him,' Gege said in an angry tone that she tried to suppress and yet failed, 'the world's will is.'

'Ding! Nothing can be kept hidden from the eyes of the world's will,' the system ignored the angry tone of Gege before adding, 'Ding! She keeps me informed of his location all the time. Plus she kept some sort of an aura to stick out to his body. So using my spiritual sense, I can track him.'

"Great," Arthur stopped talking the moment the mirror showed everything outside. "This… is a real nightmare!"

The mirror showed the scenes when Amera started to head towards the portal. He saw the thick layers of mages and monsters forming tight defense against the cultivators.

While Amera flew fast, Doaf, Nicole, and the crow followed her with their own forces. "Since when did he appear there?" he pointed out towards the crow while watching his angry face. "He looks very pissed off to me."

'He appeared a while ago out of nowhere,' Gege said before sighing, 'he is still angry towards those dark forces.'

"Good for us," Arthur nodded, "but why are they trying to bypass the dark army here?"

'They are trying to reach the portals to stop the dark angel from executing his plan,' the golden dragon said.

'Ding! I sense some movement from the dark angel… I believe he is going to use that nasty black lightning again.'

"Not under my watch," Arthur clenched his fists before adding in a cold tone, "Gege… You know what to do," he said before turning around and started to leave here.

'What are you planning to do?' the golden dragon asked in doubt.

"Isn't it obvious?" Arthur went outside the world where he regained his dragonair form, "I'm going out to kill that bastard."

'But you can't see him! No one can!' the golden dragon said in puzzlement before he realized what Arthur intended to do. 'Oh wait… Are you going to use her help then?'

"Why not?" Arthur shrugged, "after all we are all fighting on the same side here."

'But…'

"What?" Arthur interrupted him, "if we let him live, this madman will keep causing us disasters until he dies. Gege, open a portal out for me, it's time for me to rejoin this war once more."

'…'

The golden dragon wanted to warn him about something, but Arthur passed through the portal in steady steps with no intention to listen to anyone at this moment.

He just hated the fact that he was going to pay with his life for no use at all!

However, just before he could pass completely through the portal, a sudden wave of energy came out from his body, forcing the portal to be closed and him to be thrown high in the air.

"What the hell just happened?!!" he stood on his feet while watching in amazement the place that portal was just a moment ago.

Now there was nothing but a pulse of energy, beating out like it was some sort of a heart or something.

"Gege…" he only said that but the next moment that pulse of energy changed color from pure white into dark blue.

And then it changed its form to become a small dragon before it instantly shot into his head.

'I… didn't do that!' Gege said in a distressed tone however it was too late for her to say that.

The next instant Arthur felt his body so weak before he slammed heavily on the ground with eyes shut.

He lost his consciousness just at this critical moment.

'Damn! What just happened to him?' the golden dragon panicked as he didn't recognize what just happened.

'Ding! I believe it's what he got from that trial,' the system seemed to gain some insights than the other two, 'Ding! He is developing new abilities now. I hope they are for the best.'

'At this moment?' Gege was shocked before adding, 'Then what about that war? His plans for it?'

'Sigh, why is everything so complicated around this kid?' the golden dragon couldn't help but complain, 'just go on with his plans. Anyway we don't know how long he will keep being like this. I don't want to hear him complaining about it when he regains his consciousness.'

'…'
