Chapter 797 - Tick Tock... Tick Tock...
'What's the hurry for, kiddo?' the golden dragon couldn't see what Arthur saw.
"We… were all played by her," Arthur hurriedly said before asking, "how can I shut down that damn portal? We can talk about it later, not now!"
Arthur was in the urge to act right now. And the answer came from the only one out of the three to read his thoughts and know what he was thinking about.
'You need to jump and touch it,' Gege said, 'let your blood mix there and then let the rest for me.'
She said it in a confident tone, a tone Arthur needed right now.
"I'll depend on you then," Arthur took a deep breath, "our fate hangs on your actions… you know what to do."
'Leave it to me,' Gege firmly said, 'I won't disappoint you.'
'Can anyone explain to me what's going on?' the golden dragon was more restless by their talk, yet Arthur nor Gege said anything back.
The next moment a portal appeared next to Arthur and he simply jumped into it. The next moment he appeared a couple hundreds of meters away from the portal.
'Sorry,' Gege hurriedly said, 'that portal is so strong and it has something to deal with my portals. I can't move you towards it.'
"Do you job then," Arthur didn't mind that as he spread his wings and started flying as fast as he could.
And the next moment, many flashes appeared around as Gege moved everyone from the entire battlefield to here.
They looked surprised by this, yet the next instructions she gave them made them more puzzled.
'Secure the portal,' she said through the tree, 'don't let anything touch Willy or else we all are going to die!'
Her words didn't make any sense, yet the moment they appeared they noticed something.
"Damn you kid! I'll make sure to kill you this time!"
The old lady seemed quite enraged by Arthur's actions. She instantly moved to block his path, totally neglecting her fight with Aemie.
Yet the latter didn't leave her to do whatever she liked. Aemie moved on an equal speed to appear just beside Arthur, and she blocked her sword.
"I dunno what you are doing," Aemie said amongst her raced breaths, "but I'm sure whatever you are doing is getting on her nerves. Go, I'll secure your back."
"Thanks!" Arthur couldn't say anymore as he knew how tight his time was.
He ignored the angry screams of that old hag and kept flying fast towards the portal.
However the old lady wasn't the only threat he should watch out for.
The closer he became to the portal, the denser the number of mages and monsters who stood in his path were.
"Don't let him touch the portal," the old lady shouted in deep hatred as all her attempts to stop him failed because of Aemie. "Stop him with all your might!"
This loud scream made everything clear to all. Whatever Arthur was doing was a very crucial thing to their survival. The sense of danger returned to their souls and they understood their part in this war.
They had to help Arthur get past all those mages and warriors no matter the cost.
And so the final fight of this war erupted in such a bloody way and in such confined corners without warning.
Gege didn't speak yet her hands appeared everywhere. It wasn't easy controlling all of these portals in such a small space.
Yet she did a great job while trying to fend off all the existing mages and monsters away from Arthur's path.
To do so she had to use her portals, put them in the path of those rushing monsters and mages before she would send them far away from here.
In the meantime she had to properly use her portals and teleport Doaf and other forces all over the place.
And she did that brilliantly despite the interruption coming from the portal.
Her main advantage was Arthur himself. Despite any interference, the portals were linked directly to his body.
So anywhere he went to she could summon her portals easily there.
But her space of maneuver was limited, only a hundred meters around Arthur.
And so she had to do her best to keep Arthur safe and maintain this space enemy free zone all the time.
So Around Arthur, portals kept flashing all the time. People emerged and disappeared the next moment while flashes of deadly attacks appeared all around him.
And he only kept pushing forward towards that portal. It was his goal, and he wouldn't let anything stand between him and that portal.
"Activate the protective shield! Do it now!"
The old lady seemed to see his current advancement and knew he wouldn't be stopped this way. So she screamed while taking a sword hit to her left shoulder in return for that.
"You should keep your wicked eyes only on me," Aemie waved her sword and cleansed its blade from the blood of her aunt. "Your blood is toxic… everything about you is poisonous!"
"You should keep your body away from my daughter's then," the aunt evilly laughed before suddenly asking, "tell me foolish nephew, do you know where my dear daughter is?"
That sudden question startled Aemie, yet she regained her composure the next moment. "Drop off your mind games with me, I won't fall for your dirty tricks… Witch!"
"Hahaha," the old lady laughed, "then let me tell you a secret. Before I led my forces away from your pathetic city, I made sure to bring with me my insurance ticket… and let me tell you she is here."
Aemie's face changed for the second time before a ruthless expression appeared on her face. She jumped and tried to hit her aunt's head with her sword, yet that old lady evaded that attack at the last second.
"Liar!" Aemie screamed in rage yet the aunt laughed in amusement.
"Let me tell you another secret, that boy is going to seal and destroy that gate. And if he does that…" the old lady paused while shaking off her head, "I wouldn't recommend him to do that. Or else you will lose your bed lover in return… Forever!"
"Die!"
Aemie was infuriated with her aunt's words and jumped again trying to hit her. The two exchanged brutal bolts before they created a distance between each other.
The old lady gushed blood out of her mouth all of sudden. She wasn't hit by any attack yet her wounds on her body got aggravated with what she was doing.
She was getting closer and closer to her demise, yet her face didn't show anything but a very evil and vicious expression.
"She will die if you don't stop him," the aunt said like a toxic viper, "you need to act now, or else… hehehe, y'know the rest."
"Liar!" Aemei screamed in pain this time, yet her attacks were all held off by her aunt.
"I'm going to die, why would I lie about this?" the aunt said amidst their exchange, "you need to hurry, tick tock… tick tock…"
And at this moment, Aemie stood in her place hesitant.
"Don't try to make him do it," the aunt spoke her toxic words nonstop, "my daughter, your beloved mistress will die if he does that. You need to hurry, he is just about to reach there… Tick tock… Tick tock!"
And at this moment, Aemie turned her head and saw Arthur getting so close from the portal with many flashes of portals around alongside bloody fights between the two sides.
"Tick tock… Tick tock…" and the aunt kept muttering her poisonous words without break.
