Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 266 - A Dragomancer Special Ability

"Show me the task."

"Ding! The dragonair is mighty, and he isn't alone! The ability to recruit a grand army of dragons, reviving the old lost legend of the dragon clan is in hand! The secret lies in the ruins, and the ruins are tightly guarded by the army here and at the Dorfis stronghold.

Cut the snake head task is issued for you to accept. You are asked to go and exterminate all of the Dorfis clansmen living in the castle in the north. Cutting the snake head won't only help in securing the ruins, but will help you in acquiring many populations, a currency hard to find these days.

Task objectives: Exterminate and control the Dorfis clan stronghold in the north.

Task time limit: Six hours and thirty five minutes… Tick tock… Tick tock.

Failure to do the task will result in strengthening the Dorfis clan stand, making them bolder in the next confrontations with you, plus losing the rare chance to awaken the dragonair special ability, and losing all the population and resources here.

Success in doing the task will grant you a castle, large number of population and supplies, plus the activation of the dragonair special ability.

Note one: Don't leave a corpse of those monsters behind. Sweep the castle clean.

Note two: Time is of golden essence… Tick tock… Tick tock…"

He glanced with widened eyes at this task, and his mind had only one thing right now; that scene he saw while awakening the dead monsters and turning them into dragons.

"May I ask about the name of this ability?" he asked, while holding his breath out of anticipation.

"Ding! It's called a dragomancer ability."

"Meaning?" he asked again, greatly anticipating the answer.

"Ding! Turning the dead into dragons."

"Yes!" he shouted with extreme excitation while hurrying to say:

"I accept."

The next moment he didn't wait for the system to confirm his acceptance, totally ignoring its words, as he turned instantly into a dragon, heading directly towards the portal.

The moment he went inside, he saw Tina and Sara attacking the warriors. "You two, stop now and hurry up to come with me," he said before turning around and disappearing into the portal without saying any more.

Sara and Tina exchanged silent glaces, before they sighed and moved after him. the moment they appeared outside, they were astonished to see all the endless warriors surrounding the place, and as they were about to attack these, Arthur voice came from far:

"Not them, hurry and follow me, there is no time!"

His eyes were fixed on two things only, a small map that the system provided of this region, where five locations were marked on it; the cluster of villages and towns next to the portal, the distant Dorfis stronghold, the ruins on the opposite side of the castle, and two more spots he didn't know what they were.

And he didn't currently care, as his eyesight was focused on a small clock, ticking all the time while the seconds are passing fast like water. He knew the problem wasn't in just walking there, but to be able to infiltrate the defensive arrays in time and kill everyone inside.

"What's all this about?" Sara was faster than Tina as she caught up to him. "Why are you in such a hurry? Is it a dangerous situation? Is it an opportunity?"

"An opportunity!" he replied, before motioning with his head towards the about to appear in the horizon castle, "there is a great fortress of the Dorfis clan out there with so many of their kin. We need to kill them all!" he added, and at this moment Tina came as she weirdly said:

"That's great, I know, but why is the rush then? We can work our time to kill them without this tension!"

He thought for a moment, searching for a suitable lie the two could buy, as he wouldn't tell them about his system, not yet. "I cracked a very deadly array set around the portal, and according to the warriors there are more of these. The only way is to kill them all and we need to do that in less than four hours, or else these arrays will be instantly activated, creating a massive destruction that we might not be able to evade."

Tina remained silent, while Sara said in a grave tone:

"Describe this array for me."

He smiled, inwardly, as he didn't lie about the existence of the array. "Twelve points array, covering a grand distance, with a flag surrounded by a large group or runes, and all linked together by some sort of a bond. I couldn't destroy them one by one until I gathered all of them and crushed them all."

Sara's face seemed gloomy as she asked again:

"What is the color of the smoke that rose up from it?"

Arthur was surprised for her to ask about this specific uncommon info, however he replied: "Dark and red, thick like the whole place was in fire."

"We need to hurry then, this is the doomsday array, one so destructive that it was said it can destroy the whole world. if this is activated, even the three of us won't survive its destructive force."

Arthur was glad her words worked to support his lie, but he was also doubtful about the existence of such a terrifying array. "Who made such a crazy array?" he asked.

"The old dude called Alex from ancient times. It was said he made it, hid all the info related to it or perhaps burnt it. There are only one hundred of such arrays, not big enough to destroy the world, but each one is strong enough to exterminate the whole region here.

If my assumptions are right, then these warriors down there at the castle are preparing to evacuate here, and that means…"

"There is a portal linking directly to the clan!" Tina said, with a look that expressed her worry despite being in a dragon form. "We need to seal it before they send more reinforcements to stall for time."

"No, there is a better approach," Sara sneered evilly as she added, "We can look for an array, and send it directly into the clan after changing the ownership to m… to master."

She was thinking selfishly again, before she hurried to correct herself, however Arthur didn't care about her mistake right now, as his mind was much interested in what she just proposed.

"Interesting idea Sara, I like it!" he evilly laughed and his laughs showed up being mighty roars that reverberated around the whole world. He knew he lied about the presence of other arrays, but according to her words, Alex had stored the knowledge of these arrays somewhere not easily found.

'The castle of the sky!' he thought to himself while heading straight towards the castle appearing in the distance. 'Sigh, there is no time for me to make this from scratch, I hope the old man had stored some of his masterpieces inside the castle,' he then closed his eyes and glanced at the world inside his heavenly garden.

It wasn't a garden anymore; it was a huge region filled with many pillars and dark forests, monsters turning to light and dead soil turned lavish green once again.
