Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 715 - Joining The Fight

Arthur watched Doaf leave with a conflicted expression over his face. "An interesting man," he muttered, "and it seems my godfather is much more interesting than that."

'Do you want me to be ready?' Gege asked.

Arthur glanced at the slowly drawing closer dots through the opened portal. "Prepare as many portals as you can. I don't want you to snap out amidst our fight."

'Got it,' she seemed quite annoyed but she didn't question his words.

'Ding! What about me?'

"You should be ready to act the moment she goes to sleep."

'I won't sleep for long hours!' she couldn't take it anymore, 'why are you speaking like I'll go to bed right away?'

"This fight… I believe it will last for longer than you expect."

Arthur didn't know how but he had a hunch that whoever was coming here wouldn't easily fall into the trap Doaf and Amera were setting right now. Even if some did, the large number appearing here made it quite hard to trap them all in one go.

'I'll prepare prisons for them,' Gege said, 'I hope you are wrong.'

"Me too," Arthur muttered before clenching on his sword, "it will be a hard fight."

'Ding! What about the other portal?'

Arthur turned his face towards the horizon while seeing nothing there but some flashes of light. "The world here is fighting back viciously… I believe we have some time left."

'Ding! What if it was activated during the fight?'

"Then… it's our destiny to face two adversaries at the same time."

Arthur went to silence while waiting. Gege went to do what she was asked, while the system kept his silence doing nothing.

"Rumble!"

The next hour the first batch of mages passed through the portal finally with a big bang. Their entrance was accompanied by a massive explosive sound that echoed heavily in the entire mountains.

"They look aggressive," Arthur noted their actions as the first thing they did was to launch a wide attack on everything around the portal.

'Ding! They might just be trying to secure their entrance.'

'That means they are bad guys.'

"Not necessarily," Arthur said, "what Doaf and Amera will do next would prove if they are good or bad. Keep an eye on them please."

'I will.'

Arthur waited while watching the group led by Doaf and Amera ascending fast towards the sky. The two groups were coming near each other fast, and before Gege returned to him with news, he already got the answer he wanted.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"So Doaf was right after all," Arthur softly muttered while watching the two sides getting in a brutal fight from the beginning.

The invading group wasn't big, almost a thousand or two at max. however the number of Doaf and Amera's forces wasn't that large either.

"Prepare to support them," Arthur said before noticing the approach of another group from the porta. "They won't make it."

He saw how deeply entangled Amera and Doaf were with the first group. As he feared they couldn't lure anyone to his side yet, and now another group was coming through.

"No other option then," he flapped his wings and started to fly fast towards the portal.

'Ding! Won't that weaken the portal a little?' the system was worried about him leaving the central part of the array.

"Not too much I hope," Arthur said, "but letting those passing through without any interruption will doom Doaf and Amera."

He was moving in a place slightly far away from the current hard battle. Echoes of the deadly fight spread across the entire mountainous area while Arthur kept getting closer to the portal using his fast speed.

"Use the portals once they enter here," he said to Gege, "don't wait for me to arrive there."

'I planned to do so,' Gege said, 'and I've prepared a very nice prison that can satisfy their taste.'

'Ding! You'll be amazed when you see the prison.'

"I will," Arthur promised, "but after ending this battle."

The moment he got near the portal the first mages of the second group crossed it and entered the world.

"Now!" he hurriedly said and Gege instantly acted.

A portal appeared just below those who came through, rapidly engulfing them without warning and vanishing alongside them.

That caught the attention of those passing to here and the next batch spread out fast, trying to evade the portals.

Yet Gege's perception and judgement was superb. She already used this trick countless times before, and so she had a good grasp over what she would do here.

The following batches tried to spread out faster, fly over larger areas or even use their speed to escape.

But all went into oblivion while Gege's portals hunted them all and took them inside her garden.

"They learnt their lesson," Arthur sneered when he saw the next batch coming forth in one big group. They waited for others to join at the edge of the portal, warning them about the sneaky portals of Gege before coming out in one compact group.

And then they started attacking Arthur.

'Ding! You should move away!' the system warned.

"Nah, not necessarily," Arthur leisurely said, "Gege, take me in and out to evade their attacks. And please, take those morons in as fast as you can."

'At once,' Gege said in a cheerful tone. She was enjoying her time during any fight. A thing that made Arthur question if she was previously a fighter in her past life.

Arthur watched without worry the rapidly incoming attacks but Gege moved faster. He vanished inside one portal, appeared for brief moments inside the garden before getting out once again.

"Wow, I loved it," he laughed while finding his body appearing a few meters above the attacks.

To those watching him from above, he looked like letting the attacks pass through him without getting any harm at all.

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

Then Gege made the portals appear just above the compact group. With limited space left for them to maneuver, they were doomed to be absorbed inside the moving portals all around.

"They won't learn ever," Arthur saw the next group doing the same as before, yet this time they waited before coming at him in a grand formation of over five hundred mages. "Gege, the same."

'Roger that,' she laughed while taking him in and out the garden when they launched their attacks.

"Again!"

As their numbers were big, Gege needed quite some time to absorb them inside her garden. So another wave of attacks fell soon after the first one, and he simply kept avoiding these attacks using the same trick.
