Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 114 - The Appearance Of A Mysterious Master

A Five horned monster was such a scary existence, and appearing, just like that, out of nowhere in front of any mage would make him paralyze from fear.

Arthur knew how ruthless this scorpion was, and a mind freak as well. She enjoyed torturing her victims, like when she played with him back at their first encounter. For one moment there, he felt some sympathy towards the poor mages down there, they would end up in a very miserable fate.

However, he didn't have anything more than some compassion, and some hope that the female monster would remember his own warning regarding the female leader.

The easiest way to kill an army was to kill its leader. The fastest way to destroy a nation was to kill their leader. However, despite knowing that, he didn't intend any harm to her.

He had sat his gaze upon her, she was his girl, but she didn't know that, not yet.

The smoke covered everything, but it started to fade away, slowly, showing the figures down below.

The monster, the scorpion just stood there, in front of everyone else, doing nothing, as she was enjoying this sense of horror they were feeling right now.

Arthur just smiled, helplessly, as this monster had the ability to just kill everyone down there, but she refrained from doing so.

She was just a sadistic being, enjoying tormenting others, especially the psychological pain.

When the smoke totally dissipated, he could now see everything in detail. That water mage had already created a safe path through fire, but that path was now blocked, along with the fire on the sides of it.

The scorpion stood there, with her huge body, moving its own tail right and left, slowly, while enjoying the look of fear over the faces of these poor mages.

Their eyes were following her tail, trying to anticipate her next move, her next target. Whenever she felt they would lose their guards, she sting at once, killing one of them, then her tail returned to its monotonous movement.

Amidst all the mages, the leader stood, with her disheveled hair, which didn't spoil any of her beauty. The look over her face wasn't horror, but gloom, as she lamented her bad luck, thinking this scary monster just came here due to Arthur's heavenly treasure.

However, she never thought, even in her wildest imagination, that scary beast was Arthur's pet!

"Master, I need your help!"

Suddenly, the leader shouted, out of her lungs, screaming out of help, not out of misery, but from extreme frustration and anger. No man had ever before stood in front of her and bested her, no one!

If this was back at the academy, she would, bitterly, admit defeat, but this wasn't the academy. Her entire clan, her long awaited dream was about to shatter if she didn't put an end to Arthur now. She thought this monster was standing, by mere coincidence, between her and achieving her dreams.

"Oh, do you finally need my help? So the deal is on?" a soft, yet toxic sound of a female sounded from the heart of the camp. Arthur turned to look there, to find a very stunning looking mature woman walking from one of the huts. She was wearing a thick leather white coat that looked like ice.

The fact that she was there, all along, and he couldn't detect any bit of her monstrous aura meant how strong she was. He knew he wasn't an opponent for her, and he suspected even his new pet would be able to stop her.

The only way he could do it was through his dragonair form, but if he did that, he would still be in grave danger the moment he lost this form.

Amidst his hesitation, a bird's wing suddenly appeared in front of him. He grabbed it, read it carefully, then smiled evilly at the incoming mage.

He could now play with her to his heart content!

"I- I- …" the leader hesitated, and from the surface of things, Arthur knew what this toxic master wanted must be severe.

"How can you agree on something you don't know if she can achieve," he suddenly smirked from his high place, sneering loudly at the incoming master.

His words immediately halted the master's footsteps, as she raised her eyes, looked like a venomous snake towards him while saying:

"I was about to kill this monster then retreat and let you two settle things alone, but per your rudeness, I'm obliged to teach you a lesson and kill you as a bonus on the deal!"

"Humph," Arthur simply harrumphed, loudly, in response to her words, "Lisa, come here to me," he suddenly shouted, without setting his gaze away from the master.

No one knew who he was speaking to until the scorpion just moved, with her huge body, to climb the carcass with impressive agility. The eyes of everyone popped out of their places when they saw that scary nightmare five horned monster stood, in a docile way, just beside Arthur, letting him ride on her back while patting on her head while saying:

"You did a great job, but this one here is a bit harsh on you. Let me go there and deal with her, and you keep the fort safe until I come back."

His words weren't loud, but they were perfectly heard, and his actions were made in public, so everyone saw that huge monster nodding her head in response to his words of praise.

Arthur then moved, alone, descending from the top of the carcass, for the first time ever in this fight, to fall on the ground, giving his back to that leader, and moving in slow steps towards the direction of this master.

"Oh, you have a suicidal wish then?" the female master said, while taking out her two hands from the pockets of her coat, while pointing towards him, "I like your courage, boy, but my patience has limits. If you now confess your wrongdoings, knelt to apologize and promised me all of your land and people to sacrifice them to me, then I will let you live!"
