Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 38 - Sacred Contract

Arthur opened his mind over this missed fact, he didn't know the language of monsters here. if he knew the language, then he could bind them more efficiently, especially when coupling with monsters.

The issue here was regarding the stones, he needed to go out and look by himself then.

"I have a question, say this way succeeded, do we need monsters now in the process?"

'Not… Now… Later… Forever…'

He sighed, as her words were really optimistic. He couldn't believe himself when he moved outside the camp, looking for stones, that he was following the crazy advice of this queen.

This myth had already cost a lot of cultivators lives. The only thing that reassured him was the fact he wasn't going to couple this monster's soul with his own cultivation base, as others did in the past. He would only create a tattoo for her, and hoping this tattoo would be somehow special.

He wandered the place looking for any stones, without any fear of monsters. He understood the current situation of this place. As long as the mother queen of pythons stayed there in the camp, no other monster would approach here.

He didn't take an hour to find what he was looking for, as he found a large group or medium sized black rock, full of energy, much more than the previous rocks. He unsummoned Don, then summoned it again, ordering it to break the stones, and start carrying them to the camp.

He waited for two hours as he moved enough rocks, not only for his benefit, but for others as well.

If this way succeeded, he would seek to apply it on them, hoping they would benefit from it.

He returned faster to the camp, where the night was almost at its peak. He didn't waste anymore time, grabbed the blood mix of the pythons, and went ahead with the rocks towards the queen python.

At this time, everyone had already sensed the strangeness of his, as he disappeared, then Don disappeared, then Don appeared with strange stones, and finally he reappeared again, and went directly to the python queen and sat in front of her.

To them, he was doing strange, unexplained things, but they didn't ask anything. They focused on the meat on fire, smelling the good taste of it, and feeling the marvels of their success in their cooking mission.

"What should I write then?" he asked, as he didn't know the language of the pythons.

'Seven… Are… Group… Hundred… Groups… Half… Mine… Half… Yours… Half… Bind… Half… Partner…'

Arthur understood her simple math, as she needed one hundred groups or rocks, each group was formed of seven pieces as he did before. Half of these groups would be written in human tongue, and the other half would be in pythons' tongue.

"What are the words in your language then?"

'Show… You…'

Suddenly, two images appeared miraculously in his brain. Arthur wasn't just a weak mage like the others, he was a veteran cultivator. What he brought with him here was his mind, and so it wasn't that easy affecting his mind. He felt skeptical, as this python was somehow stronger than what he thought initially.

As being told, he started writing, or to be precise, drawing the pictures in his mind over the rocks. One hundred groups, each seven pieces included, that meant seven hundred pieces of rocks. That was a lot of preparations, but when he finished, he was thrilled that he couldn't wait to rest.

"Let' do it," he cheerfully said.

He moved, cleared the area with the help of Don, before he sent him back again inside his tattoo. He then drew the circle using the monsters' blood.

'Draw… Three…'

The queen ordered, and he executed without any delay. After finishing, he started arranging the rocks into places which looked as near to each other as sand on the ground. The queen didn't say anything, but when he started grouping the rocks written in human tongue together, she said to him:

'Scatter… Not… Together…'

He understood her point, so he started to randomly scatter the rocks, but in fact he did it on regular bases, with one group of human tongue followed by another of monster's, one group of binding following one group of partner.

When he finished, the others had also finished cooking the meat, as they moved it near the cart, where Ouly and Ron were enthralled by cutting it to pieces. The rest noticed what Arthur was doing, so they came closer to watch, in silence, while whispering to each other, for a feat to interrupt him.

"Let's do this!"

He finally finished, and without even turning to look at others, he started the contract at once. Once he did, he noticed the change in this contract, as the outer circles shone one by one, like taking turns. After that, the stones were lifted in the air, by invisible force, where he felt it attaching to his body, and at the same time, the queen in front of him flew in the air as well.

Before he could even process what was going on, a strong dome appeared covering the two of them, and suddenly a light was ignited, like fire, between him and the queen. He saw, with his own eyes, her body change, as the scales fell down, not on the ground but on her newly formed legs, her ample chest, and her hot body of a lady in her twentieth.

He looked at her, with extreme shock, as he didn't know what to say, or do. He couldn't understand, fully, what was going on here, but he understood one thing for sure… this queen of pythons wasn't ordinary.

"Thanks for giving me this chance to live," her voice sounded, this time in human tongue and tone, to be heard into his ears clearly, "Unfortunately I can't maintain this form for long. Without the aura of this sacred contract between us, I wouldn't have been able to take this form in front of you."

"What sacred contract?" he asked, dazed in her beauty, fallen under her magic.
