Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 113 - Releasing The Scorpion

'That's two not one!' Arthur felt his scalp numb from this monster's wickedness, even when asking for favor, it asked for two instead of one. For him, the two conditions worked just fine along his goals, so he didn't have any reason to refuse.

'I agree. Now stand still inside, and I will start the contract process now,' he said, while he drew a large circle around that scorpion's massive body. he threw as many runes as he had, knowing for sure how hard it would be to control such a brutal monster, who was about to evolve soon.

He had to hurry and do this inside his ring, something he never tried before. In theory it might succeed, but he had no room for failure here, no time for him to try another approach. He just hoped this would succeed.

He just sneaked a fast glance towards the far distance, where the battle was raging hot on the walls of this camp. He could see the various defensive preparations of them being torn apart one by one under the constant stream of monsters.

As for that brutal woman, she was fighting that four horned monster, but he was sure she would end up soon, and so was he. The moment he finished all preparations inside his ring, he thought:

'Let the contract begin!'

Suddenly a force had emerged from inside his ring, circulating around his body, before finding a spot on his wrist, and then got inside it. he felt burning pain like a sting there, before a tattoo appeared there, in a drawing of a scorpion, black in color.

'Phew,' he finally rested assured when he finished the pet contracting successfully. The scorpion had already vanished from his ring, meaning the process he just came up with worked.

"Now let's handle you properly, my little darling," he softly muttered, as he watched that brutal leader dealing the killing blow to the four horned monster finally. He wasn't surprised by her strength, after all she was also part of the famous academy, she couldn't be just a nobody.

"Come, I'm feeling lonely here," Arthur yelled, and his words just enraged that leader even more. "Stay at your place, I'm coming to skin you alive," she said, while ordering in extreme rage, "On me!"

"Oh, so scary," Arthur sneered, while sitting on the edge of that carcass, while letting his legs down, waving them carefree like he was enjoying sightseeing.

His actions enraged her more. She just went straight towards his carcass, with around eighty of her top mages, while leaving the other twenty supervising the whole battlefield, acting as a distress team to relieve any pressure anywhere.

Arthur knew this fight around him wouldn't stop her or her mages, and he was sure this carcass wouldn't pose any obstacle at all. However he didn't rush to summon his newly acquired pet at once.

"Just sit tight there, I will come now to cut your head off!" she screamed once she reached the sea fire around the carcass. This fire was strange, as despite their raging and spreading everywhere, it seemed like it was centered around the carcass, like there was something attracting it to there.

However she didn't think about it, as she pointed to one of her mages while saying:

"Renj, just create a safe path for us."

"Right away, leader," the mage with a huge body replied, while he used his coupled monster inside his body, which appeared to be some strange aquatic creature. Arthur wasn't surprised by this, as he knew such a meticulous girl wouldn't let a single scenario without thinking about it, and thus prepare for it.

Ranj then used his inner demon's strength, summoning up a mighty wave out of nowhere, which moved directly towards the sea of fire.

The moment the wave touched the fire, a loud sizzling sound was generated, with a thick cloud of smoke, clouding the vision on what was going on down there. Arthur knew his fire wouldn't stand long in front of this kind of attack, but he was also sure it wouldn't fall just from a mere wave.

When the smoke dissipated, the place was still filled with fire, making the leader frown. She had a small number of water mages under her disposal, and their strongest was Ranj. She then moved to inspect the place where the wave just hit.

"Ranj, keep hitting this place, it will be crushed soon," she said to Ranj as she returned to her original place. Ranj didn't delay and started issuing one attack after another, forming a great white smoke screen that started to cover the whole place around the carcass.

"Good," Arthur muttered, as he was sure these attacks would be enough to quench his fire. "Time for you to shin," he said, as he thought about summoning his pet, using the thick smoke to his advantage.

At once, a huge scorpion appeared in front of him, standing on the edge of that carcass. Its body rivaled the huge carcass, and it just glanced towards the heavenly treasure for a brief moment, resisting the urge to go there and consume it, before looking back to Arthur, waiting for his orders.

"There," Arthur pointed to the source of this thick smoke as he whispered, "go down there and kill everyone, all but the female mage that's leading them," he added.

The scorpion didn't move, and Arthur knew what it was thinking about, "You can injure her but not so severe enough to cause her death, but be wary she is strong as me, even slightly better."

The scorpion nodded, before she descended from up there to the ground, escaping from Arthur's eyes into the smoke.

It wasn't long until a roar was heard, and many sounds of fighting erupted. Arthur could see anything, but he could hear many screams of pain, and shouts for help.. "It seems I pushed you harder than I thought," he muttered, as the scorpion wasn't patient to wait for them to come to her, as she decided to descend and start the fight at once.
