Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 889 - A Dark Angel Mage

"Humph, did I allow you to leave?" Arthur didn't watch this as he instantly turned his attention towards diverting the white energy towards the two portals.

No matter what, the speed of the energy was much faster than the speed of any person. Just before anyone could get to the portal here, Arthur's energy reached them first.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

The two portals suddenly showed cracks all over. They were about to get smashed under the persistent attacks from Arthur.

"Someone stop him!" one of the grandmasters shouted before another replied:

"Go and stop him yourself then."

Arthur knew what was happening at the moment. He wasn't that intimidating or strong enough to make them fear him..

However they were all afraid of being left behind. The fifty grandmasters standing high in the air watching all this unfolding were the only pressure they were frightened of.

And so Arthur wanted to trap them all by crushing these two portals. He wanted to send a clear message to those staying behind.

If they found him so easy to crush, then this catastrophe would be repeated more than once. He didn't want to keep fighting and live his life the way he wanted.

And so he wasn't just fighting to take revenge or claim victory, he wanted to deliver this message to those up there.

However he made a mistake here.

From the beginning of his fight with the grandmasters here, not a single one of those high above moved a finger.

He took this as a test for him. He knew how these grandmasters think and they might have such crazy ideas.

But he was mistaken. They didn't move because they were intimidated by a threat, one he didn't notice until now.

"Rumble!"

It all started with a very bizarre thing. The two portals he was trying so desperately to crush suddenly moved.

Arthur watched in amazement the two portals heading towards each other, clashing and merging together like two fierce beasts biting against each other's throat.

"What is… going on?!" Arthur was surprised especially when he saw the white energy he was using couldn't move and stop this merge.

This happened without warning and the two portals kept forcibly merging together. At first wisps of dark red energy appeared clashing and wrestling against each other.

It wasn't long before the main bodies of the two portals got in contact with each other. That created another mighty rumble like thunder storm was being born here.

The two portals kept smashing each other like there was a hidden furnace melting and merging them together. Instead of their rounded appearance, the two portals started to melt down and form a strange form of dark red liquid energy.

When the two portals vanished, all that remained was a non-fixed shaped liquid. Arthur stood his place while clenching the hilts of his swords with all his might.

He tried to push all the energy he could control towards this liquid, but something stood in the middle. A hidden barrier stood there preventing him from reaching the liquid.

"Stop your futile attempts, kid," a sudden shout came from the direction of that liquid. Arthur squeezed his eyes while watching the dark energy all around all turned into dark red one.

It was like some sort of an alien energy invaded this place and contaminated everything.

Without any warning, a shadow suddenly started to form in front of the liquid. Arthur could make a shape of a human being, not too giant like those dark grandmasters but he wasn't short like him.

"Another dark angel mage…" Arthur instantly recognized the pattern here and linked this shadow of a man to one he fought with before.

"You didn't disappoint me," the voice said in a carefree tone like he was a god talking to a mortal, "now stop your useless actions and give me what you took."

Arthur instantly realized what that mage was talking about, and yet he didn't show any sign of compliance. "This is the first time meeting, then how can I take something from you?" he said while stealing a short glance towards the fifty grandmasters high above.

"Don't think about them," the voice slowly said, "they are more afraid of me than those weaklings are afraid of them."

Arthur suddenly realized what was hidden from him. These grandmasters weren't trying to test him, but they were afraid of that mage.

And that made him wonder about the true identity of this mage.

"Of course you might ask yourself a lot of questions about me, but I can assure you I'm a heaven you can never even see."

"I can see you now!" Arthur instantly retorted back while clenching the hilts of his two swords. He hated the idea of losing this chance when it was just in his grip.

And he would never deliver that dark angel mage he took hostage to that one standing in front of him.

"You can keep telling yourself some lies, like you can fight, you can keep what you took, you have the right to obtain what you have… such lies don't exist in my eyes. So stop wasting my time and hand him over now!"

"If you want him this badly," Arthur slowly said, "then why don't you pay the price for it?"

"Pay?" the mage suddenly laughed before adding, "why should I ever pay for something I can simply order and get for free?"

"Humph, I know you want him that bad to not let him die, right?" Arthur's words didn't make any sense to anyone, even the grandmasters above.

However the shadow up front seemed to know what he was referring to. Arthur felt that dark red energy getting stirred up when he said his threatening words.

"It's best for you to deliver him now," the shadow slowly said, "or else I won't hold my hands and kill you here!"

Arthur was puzzled at first by this situation. If that dark angel mage was that powerful enough to scare even fifty grandmasters from the highest clans, then why didn't he start this by killing him?
