Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 672 - We Need To Hurry

"Nothing," Arthur smiled, "but I dare you to do it."

The two kept glancing at each other but that envoy didn't move. He already was aware that this world's will was on Arthur's side plus the confidence and calmness of Arthur made him sure those annoying mages from the higher realms are still here.

"I heard you spoke with one of our agents," he suddenly said, "what did you do to make a berserker betray his code of honor?"

"Nothing that might be of your business to know," Arthur calmly replied while feeling weird about this question.

"All I got was that the entire army was wiped out," the envoy said, "and this is considered an act of war… a betrayal to our deal."

"Our deal still has a month to be active," Arthur smiled, "and if you feel so bitter about those weaklings then come, let's see if you are like them or not."

The envoy seemed to be about to move yet he stopped the next moment. "It's too early to fight you seriously kid," he said, "but I can give you a slight warning."

He took out a small staff before pointing it towards the distance. The direction he aimed for was that place where the settlement was situated. "Watch and learn how big the heavens are," he sneered before a pillar of thick red light suddenly engulfed the entire settlement.

"Rumble!"

The entire world ushered under a strange silence at first before a mighty rumble occurred followed by a violent shockwave. Arthur felt a cold hand clenching his heart as such an attack was so brutal, even the sturdiest defenses at that war city might not sustain a couple of such attacks.

"See the result of your arrogance kid," the envoy waved his staff the next moment and it appeared like a tornado appeared silently over the place of that pillar before clearing everything in no time.

"This…" Arthur's eyes widened before he hysterically laughed, "is this the might of you? C'mon, even a kid could leave a scratch over there."

Instead of a big devastation, ruins filled with corpses, and ground drenched with rivers of blood the settlement looked quite healthy and intact.

"Impossible," the envoy couldn't believe his eyes before the answer suddenly presented itself to him. "That girl… she is going overboard here!"

Arthur got also the answer at the same time from his system; this was all the world's will doing. "You should be more respectful," Arthur calmly said, "after all you are just a mere ant inside her world."

"Humph," yet the words of Arthur seemed to get on his nerves. The next moment a very giant sword appeared all of sudden that was at least ten folds the size of that giant envoy.

"I'll teach you a lesson then myself," he gritted his teeth  and moved with extreme speed towards Arthur.

Yet Arthur calmly took out his sword, drew back to create more distance with him before taking the steps needed to activate his technique.

Then the two swords linked together and he felt a deep shock deep down his body. "Gush!" he vomited a mouthful of blood the next instant and even his inside organs shifted out of such a brutal attack.

Yet he managed to stop the mighty strike despite his opponent taking the lead to attack him first.

"My turn," Arthur viciously muttered before waving his sword and strongly pushing aside the other one.

"You are too young to dream about facing me," the envoy sneered and then he waved his sword towards Arthur's head.

Yet the next instant a pillar of light penetrated his right shoulder all of sudden forcing his move to halt. The next instant two more attacks arrived, and he could only block one before the other severed parts of his thigh muscles.

And then Arthur's sword reached him and he barely moved in time to evade the hit over his head and let the sword cut half meter from his left shoulder down to his chest.

And that made a thin line of blood to come forth from the corners of his mouth.

Then he vanished, retreating fast to evade more brutal attacks from the three supreme leaders before he stopped a couple of miles away from them.

"This isn't fair!" he shouted in anger.

"Fighting a kid from the lower realm using bits of your higher realm's energy isn't fair as well," Amera sneered while touching the tip of her spear, "your blood is filled with darkness that my spear needed only to touch you and wither many of your muscles away."

The envoy's silence told Arthur he was really hurt, and that made him quite happy. Yet he glanced at Amera and wondered about what she just meant now by her words.

"Shall we kill him here?" the crow said, "he blocked my attack, I need to taste part of his strength as well."

"What do you say?" Doaf turned to Arthur and that small talk made the envoy angrier.

"Screw you all," the envoys cursed, "if you were beside one of my bases then we can have another result."

"Nonsense," Amera sneered, "bring whomever you think and let's screw you and them together."

"I haven't used my full strength yet," the envoy threatened.

"Neither did we," the crow said, "I regret not using a bit of it to hit you or else your dirty tongue would be severed long ago and you wouldn't even dare to speak any of these useless words."

"Let's kill him," Doaf turned to Arthur and asked while the latter kept waving his sword right and left as if he was training.

"I don't know if killing him here without an audience would be good," Arthur said, "after all a pig should be sacrificed in a big ceremony, right?"

"Indeed."

"You are always correct."

"He is a pig, I can give him that credit."

The three laughed and said these comments while the face of the envoy looked darker.

"I won't forget what happened here," he turned around and started to fly fast, "I swear soon you'll regret this."

"So the deal is off? Can I screw that chick inside my prison then? She is so sexy to be left untouched y'know."

"F*ck you," the envoy only cursed from far before finally vanishing.

"Hahaha, he was fun," Amera laughed before suddenly turning serious, "but also very dangerous."

"Even the three of us combined can't restrain him," the crow sighed, "I used part of my supreme force and he managed to block my attack."

"Don't give him more credit than he deserves," Doaf had another opinion, "after all we came in haste and didn't plan the fight properly. Next time he wouldn't be able to sustain our barrage or even escape."

"At least he is severely wounded," Arthur said, trying to make this tense atmosphere more lighter.

"He will need around ten days to heal," Doaf muttered.

"I'd give him a week at most," Amera said, "especially if he used our higher healing techniques."

"Did you see his staff?" Arthur suddenly asked.

"It's a very hideous one," the crow said in disgust, "it needs millions above millions of souls to be activated. That attack he just used was derived from many massacres he committed against endless people."

"This…" Arthur was shocked as he thought about obtaining or mimicking such staff. But after hearing these words he refrained from thinking about that and totally dropped the idea.

"Don't worry we can antagonize it," Amera took his silence as a fear of this staff, "after all this isn't the strongest dark item up there."

"Indeed, it's a common one," Doaf nodded, "slightly strong but considered as a common item up there."

"If he ever used it again we'll be there to stop his attack," the crow added, "despite I doubt he can use it soon."

"Indeed, he just threw away what he previously prepared before coming here," Amera agreed.

"But he can still kill people here and recharge that staff, right?" Arthur suddenly asked.

"He can do that," Doaf nodded, "but I doubt even if he killed the entire population the staff could be recharged. The staff requires souls from the high realms, not from intermediate or low ones."

"Sigh, I hope you are right," Arthur said.

"Rejoice, after all this is good news for us," Amera suddenly said and when Arthur glanced at the question she added, "for our next mission he won't be able to make it."

He got her meaning and in fact he felt relieved to get rid of such a threat temporarily. "You are right," he nodded, "but we need to hurry then."

"He will take at least a week to recover," Doaf said.

"But the closer it is to that deadline the more powerful he will become," Arthur muttered, "let's move out in two days from now, I believe our forces now can handle that fight properly."

The three shrugged. "As you wish, after all I'm all curious to start this fight," Amera said.

"Me too," and the crow nodded while Doaf agreed as well.

"Alright, you can go back and prepare," Arthur said, "make everyone ready, in two days we will go to war."

He watched them go inside the portals and vanish. "System, go and have a word with the world's will," he suddenly said out of the blue.

'Ding! About what?'

"How to restrict the powers of those coming from the higher worlds," he said before adding, "and if there is a way to augment her role here and aid her in intervening then don't hesitate to listen to it as well."

'Ding! Give me an hour then,' the system then vanished while Gege said:

'What about the plan? Will we keep jumping and amassing people?'

"We will," Arthur said before clenching his fists, "we have to, after all the war is drawing nearer than I anticipated."
