Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 65 - Helping Arthur Down The Mountain

Just as they took off, everyone on the ground was alarmed by this, and when they saw them go beyond the reach of their attacks, Randy asked in doubt:

"What is he trying to do?"

"He is going to make the most stupid thing you will ever seen," Omar said, in a joking tone, while Amelia said, in an opposite seriousness:

"This isn't a joke, he will stand, alone, amidst all these monsters, and try to hold them back himself."

Her words surprised Randy, while Omar just laughed on them. Amelia once told him about this, not in detail, but he got the general idea, and he still saw it amazingly silly and funny.

"Why would he do that?" Randy, after contemplating for a moment, asked.

"Because he has a ring that can store things inside, and he will store the bodies of the dead monsters and the wounded monster inside, or how do you think he got all these monsters to make them into pets?" she said, annoyed from Omar's reaction.

Omar only heard, never saw the scene with his own eyes, but she already experienced it. Just standing there required great courage, courage she had to admit to falling shorter than Arthur. She much admired that man when she saw him dart, heroically, without any panic or fear, amidst the monster tide, like he was walking in his own town.

"I understood the wounded monster part, but why bother with the dead?" Randy asked.

"Here, eat this meat," Omar, finally, stopped laughing, as he threw three pieces of meat from his own share that was forming a small hill beside him. Arthur left a share like this to each mage here, as he wanted them to maintain their focus, and regenerate their strengths.

"This…?" Randy asked in hesitation, before deciding to eat it. He saw the pile of meat Arthur left beside each one of them, but he didn't try to eat them. no one told him what this meat was for, so he didn't try and put them in his mouth, despite the sweet aroma they had.

Once put inside his mouth, tasted and experienced their great effect, his eyes shone.

"See? This is a specially cooked meat from him, made from the meat of the killed monsters," Amelia said, as she was boosting this like it was her own achievement.

"Really? Monsters' meat?" Randy asked, as he glanced at the pile next to him, before he took much more pieces and started, fervently, eating them.

His actions enticed his men, so they followed his lead, and once felt the great and magical effect of the meat, they started to eat the same way like him, or even more aggressively.

"That Arthur is a genius, how did he learn to cook like that?" Randy asked, with a mouth full of meat. He wasn't just enjoying the superb taste, but he was feeling this strange surge of power flowing into his body from the meat.

"I told you, join him and you will never regret. By the way, where is Gorasan?" Omar asked, while patting on his friend's shoulder.

"He was on a mission, and after that he might come and join here. in fact I hope he would have come with me, as he missed a lot of fun," Randy said, while swallowing the meat before taking another bunch of it, stuffed them in his mouth, then he looked at Arthur, who was about to jump from the back of Birdy.

"I like this Arthur, boys be ready to go out and give him a hand, after all who will contribute more to this man will have more meat," he added, while shouting at his men. Omar felt his scalp numb, as his little way to gain Arthur's trust was revealed in this silly way by Randy. As for Amelia, she just kept smiling, as she knew what Omar was trying to do all along, but she kept watching and did nothing.

Arthur was far away from them, and he was busy jumping from Birdy's back, before the sounds of explosions started to sound in his ears. He started to move any single monster he could touch into his ring, while summoning his rhinoceros who tried to help defend him.

It wasn't that easy for anyone, but for him it wasn't that hard. He was jumping from a place to another, depending on his spectacular foot work, and his monster was trying to follow him, hitting some monsters on the way.

Arthur was worried about it at first, but when he saw the way that domineering monster stumped all others in his way downwards, he didn't feel any more worry about it.

So, he started focusing on gathering the monsters from the ground, plus all the ores he could reach as well. The whole body of the mountain was now literally covered in this stone, and he wanted to just climb the mountain back to top and collect everything, including the mountain itself.

Amidst his behavior, he suddenly felt a faint tremble of the ground, and it was growing stronger, so he started to spread out his senses, trying to find what was the cause of this disruption.

What he saw next made him speechless for a moment, when his eyes fell upon thirty rhinoceros, running down the mountain, with thirty mages in their tale. It was a sight to be seen, as Randy shouted from far:

"We will help you, so just keep yourself busy and collect those freakily amazing meat!"

It suddenly hit Arthur, as he understood the meaning and intention of Randy. He just chuckled, before returning back to his task, collecting anything on the ground.

By the addition of the mages, the fight was now much easier, and the bodies started to accumulate once more, as they brought many explosive rocks with them, and they used them to explode the whole area around the mountain.
