Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 420 - George

Arthur kept releasing his arrows and killed everywhere, yet his mind was busy by what was going on the other side of the portal.

He knew his academy masters were strong, but their opponent had such a dreadful strength to them.

After roughly an hour, the portal flared up while the masters appeared in batches.

"What the hell just happened inside?!" Arthur was speechless for a moment while watching the tattered clothes and the tired faces of the masters. They looked exhausted, some even had many wounds while a couple of them were already supported by their friends; unable to walk alone.

And some were missing from the count Arthur had in mind, at least his five masters and Mr. E were!

"Kid, Mr. E is waiting inside for you," one of the masters said while adding, "They urge you to come fast."

Arthur nodded and then went directly towards the next world. When he appeared there; the world looked greatly different from what he last saw.

"Is the apocalypse landed here?!!" he was shocked to see all these huge and deep pits everywhere; even some places were so deep to reach the central lava of the world!

"Come Willy," Mr. E shouted from one direction, "we can't hold it more than five minutes, so you need to take the pillar within that time."

Arthur turned to see his six masters with a couple others surrounding a group of a dozen black cloaked silhouettes who kept flickering; moment here and the next they weren't.

And a big bubble was surrounding this group of capped men.

"Give me just one minute," Arthur realized what happened here and knew how grave the situation was. He didn't hesitate and turned to the pillar while the army of pets helping their masters relayed his answer to all.

In less than a minute he reached the pillar before placing his blood on it.

"Rumble!"

The next moment two eyes appeared and when the master came to this world, he noticed the group of capped men trapped by the others.

"Wow, you have the audacity to interfere in this lowly world by this number?" he muttered before adding, "this is the break of our sacred deal! Do you want us to interfere as well?" he added as if he was eager to do so.

"Forget it," Arthur felt a sudden rise in the pressure exerted all around his body, while the next moment the sky of this world dimmed all of a sudden.

"Boom!"

A gigantic pillar of bronze descended from the sky, and the moment it touched the ground, another explosion erupted.

"You broke the rule first, and I have the right to retaliate," he seemed like speaking to someone next to him. "Next time be more careful, or my little boy here will keep summoning me and I won't be kind."

The pillar started to pale and fade slowly until it vanished. When it did, the place it landed upon was now flattened with the ground. Those capped men were smashed into meat pulps; none remained alive.

"How did you meet them here?" the master then released his pressure upon Arthur who finally had the chance to move freely.

"They are targeting me," he answered.

"You?" the master seemed surprised at first before laughing out loud. "This is a lowly world, you can't attract their attention without proper reason, or make them so mad to break the sacred rules without a strong motive."

"Well," Arthur seemed embarrassed before adding, "they sent many disciples of the Oblack dark academy here, and it happens that I was on the spree of hunting them down."

"Wow, you have some guts," the master laughed and his tone told Arthur how much amused he was. "Tell me, how many did you manage to hit? One?"

"Three," Arthur replied, "plus the guarding master sent here to protect these kids."

"…"

The master didn't answer for a couple of seconds before he broke again into laughter. "Y'know, as a dragonair you should have joined that academy by bloodline. But here you are, turning to be a sore spot in the grand dark history of the dragonairs, hehehe."

He was much amused by Arthur's doing, then the next moment Arthur received a strange bronze stick that appeared out of nowhere. "As they seemed not to care about the universal rules of the mightiest, you should have this then."

"What is this?" Arthur grabbed the stick to feel how light it was. He thought it would be so heavy, but now he had some doubts about this stick.

"It's the rule pillar," the master said before adding, "if you meet anyone that doesn't fit into this world, use his or her strength freely without restraints; just take the pillar out and everything will be solved."

"Is this legal?" Arthur muttered while he didn't understand anything about that sacred rule the master spoke of. Yet he had some clues.

"It is," the master answered, "it has no power anywhere except against those breaking the sacred rules. Believe me it'll be a great protection for you."

"Thanks master, I didn't know what to do without your guidance," Arthur said in honesty.

"By the way, Alfonso has eaten the whole thing and left nothing for you," suddenly the master said with a sneer, "but don't worry; your master here has gone all the way out and he is now obliged to hunt down another monster and compensate you with its entire body."

"Wow" Arthur was speechless there for the shamelessness of Alfonso and also touched by the deeds of this master. "May I know the name of the venerable master?" he asked.

"It's George," the master said.

"I hope one day we can meet in person so I can learn under master's guidance," Arthur said, expressing his willingness to be his disciple.

"Good lad," George said before adding with a happy laugh, "very smart lad."

"Thanks master for your support," Arthur stored the stick into his garden before adding, "I'm lacking forty-nine pillars, and I believe all of them will be filled with those dark masters."
