Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 676 - I'm Feeling Sleepy Already

"So I need to crush the toxin using more golden energy?" Arthur couldn't help but exclaim in doubt, "but how can I do that?"

'I can supplement any consumption,' Gege simply said.

"I'm not speaking about that," Arthur shook his head, "I mean what about everyone? How can I apply this to cure everyone?"

'This…' Gege couldn't give an appropriate answer and he just sighed. "It's a hard problem, but we must work to solve it."

'Ding! What about making potions?' the system suddenly returned.

"Won't be able to store a lot of energy inside," Arthur instantly rejected the suggestion. "What happened to the world's will? Why did you come so fast?"

'Ding! She said it was a gas spread out by some traitors,' the system said before sighing, 'Ding! And other than this she didn't give anything else.'

"She doesn't know anything at all?" Arthur was feeling suspicious here.

'Ding! That's what she said in the letter; you are on your own in this quest.'

"Damn!" Arthur couldn't help but curse, "then we have to find a solution to this gas toxin."

'Then how about we develop our own gas?' Gege suggested, 'as they got sick inhaling that toxic gas we can use the same way to heal them.'

"How can we do that?" Arthur knew it was a good point, but it was just in theory and he doubted he could apply it.

'Well…' Gege staggered and couldn't continue.

"It's a good theory," Arthur said, "but to apply it now… it's simply impossible."

'Ding! Why not test the theory of your golden energy being able to crush the toxin?' the system suggested, 'Ding! After all if this works we'll have to squeeze all of our brains and try to find a solution. I might even go to the world's will and ask her.'

"She won't help," Arthur said, "don't put any hopes on her. She said it herself, ``we are on our own in this quest."

'That's a bit weird,' Gege said, 'after all this sect is supposed to be related to her, right? Then why did she decide to abandon it?'

"I… dunno," Arthur honestly said, "but we need not to think about that for now. This is our problem and we have to solve it."

He leaned upon the same person he previously tested his energy upon, "prepare to inject your energy to replenish mine, and I'll use all the golden energy I have at once."

Arthur closed his eyes and put his hands over this young man's head and belly before injecting his golden energy in full force. His golden energy went inside the man's body and that docile shimmering energy started to turn berserk and got ignited like it was on fire.

"Keep it up," Arthur couldn't help but shout as he felt some progress already, "it's already crushing that energy."

'Just focus and leave this to me,' Gege said and her tone alarmed Arthur all of sudden.

She was getting weaker, and that meant that she would have to sleep and rest sooner than before. "Damn! I hope you don't sleep fast this time," he prayed and she didn't answer him.

His golden energy was like a tsunami of fire eating away all the dry weeds inside that man's body. The process didn't take more than a couple of minutes before his golden energy entered the soul of that person.

And the moment that happened Arthur was faced with a dilemma.

"Killing that toxin inside his soul would burn away his soul as well," he refrained from pushing his energy further as he noticed what happened when the first wave of the golden energy entered the soul sea.

'Ding! You need to crush it now or else that man won't be awakened.'

"I know," Arthur took a deep breath, "Gege, stop supplementing my golden energy and start controlling it."

'How?' she weakly asked.

"Just control it to emit a low amount first," Arthur thought before adding, "make it a whisp, like a long needle."

'Like a whip?'

"Yeah, like a whip," Arthur nodded before closing his eyes again and this time he tried to focus over the places where that toxin invaded the man's soul.

The soul sea was like a large milk white matrix with dark holes here and there. These dark spots were the places infected by the toxin, and to reach these he had to penetrate that man's soul and crush that toxin.

To do that he would eventually burn that man's soul to shreds, leaving nothing behind. He would end up killing him instead of saving.

"Slow and steady now," he calmly controlled the wisp of his golden energy and let it penetrate the soul of that person and burn away a very minimal space as possible.

When he reached the first spot he moved the whip to lash out that dark spot. "It worked!" he instantly rejoiced when he saw that dark spot being purified into nothing.

"The next one then," he kept his calm and control over the golden energy before lashing out the next spot, and the next. He kept moving from one place to another, retracting his whip whenever he got a shorter path to these spots.

This process took roughly half an hour yet he felt it was like a whole year. When he finished clearing everything, that soul sea started to look like a matrix being cut with a sword, filled with longitudinal holes.

Yet most of the soul was intact and that meant that person's life wasn't in danger.

'He isn't awakening,' Gege said in a weak tone.

"Give him some time to recuperate," Arthur said, "after all his soul was already exhausted and now it has more wounds to heal."

'Ding! But it succeeded,' the system said, 'Ding! And now we need to know how to implement this on a wide scale.'

Arthur took a deep breath while feeling exhaustion.. He ingested a piece of meal and when he took a healing pill he frowned.
