Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 917 - The Originals!!!

Arthur stood his place motionless while watching this scene. The first instinct he had was fear. The fear grew from the depth of his soul, like he was standing in the presence of god.

He didn't know what happened here, but now this object which he thought to be solid was in fact… liquid.

"Is this… that power?" Arthur wanted to move, to approach and touch that liquid however all he felt was shaky hands and trembling body alongside a hesitating will.

That fear… was something he never felt before! Even when he faced the tribulation head on, even the deadliest, he never felt such fear before in his life.

That was new to and shocking to him. He didn't know what else to do but to toughen up and finally he took the first step towards that liquid.

However the moment he did that, he seemed to stir something up with that liquid. It looked like it reacted to his approach before a sudden surge of purple energy erupted all around the liquid.

"Damn!" Arthur couldn't help but retreat in reflex while watching that purple fire. However this time the fire seemed to be weak, only limited to a certain radius around that liquid.

"It's… weak… much weaker than before…" Arthur noticed this. The fire was growing weakly before it died down. For him he saw how brutal that fire was.

Compared to this, this fire seemed docile.

"Can I endure it?'' This was the question he had in mind. He had to be sure taking it inside wouldn't cause a great calamity over his world.

Even if this piece of liquid was exhausted, there were a lot more he grabbed intact and stored inside. He couldn't risk any reaction between the two and thus he decided one thing.

"I'm going to deplete you to the last drop then," he took another move the moment the fire vanished. The liquid got stirred up again before it released the fire once more.

And Arthur simply retreated without hesitation.

He kept doing this repeatedly for an hour or so. The more he did this, the weaker the fire became, and the shorter it stood in this world.

Until it reached the limit it only released few and scanty wisps of fire all around. Wide gaps presented itself in there, gaps that could accommodate his human body in.

But he wasn't that foolish to return to his human form. After all, his dragon body was the toughest defense he got so far.

Yet at this point, his provocation to this liquid didn't bring any more results. It seemed this was the rock bottom of the liquid, and its power couldn't be depleted anymore.

"Should I go inside?" Arthur hesitated before the golden dragon presented an idea for him.

'Use those useless monsters you took inside your garden from before.'

Arthur nodded in agreement and without the need for him to say anything, Gege acted.

A portal opened just near the liquid before a monster appeared. The dark monster who got inside his garden world a long time ago has now been transformed.

It became a light monster, and its strength grew a lot. It had many horns on top of its head, with one shimmering in a strange silver white light.

The moment the monster appeared, it fiercely rorared announcing its existence. The next instant the liquid got stirred up as if it was up to the challenge.

Then a shockwave of purple fire erupted. It was so weak and formed only from all the weak wisps remaining.

And in return that monster's horn shimmered before a shock wave erupted from it as well.

Arthur stood on one side watching all this happening.

"Wow! That monster can stop it now!"

In front of Arthur's unique eyes, he could see the world in a different view. The monster released white wave of energy from that horn.

And that energy seemed to be able to stop the purple fire and even drove it back.

"Great, summon another one then," Arthur didn't risk himself in there yet and decided to see what this confrontation would end up at.

Gege complied and another portal opened. Another monster, not any less powerful than the one summoned before, appeared.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The second monster roared and that made the first roar in joy. The two joined hands and together their waves of energy was enough to drive the purple energy all the way back.

But they missed a small step, the last few meters before all that purple energy would vanish.

"Alright, bring in the third," Arthur was now so excited about this as he shouted at Gege with joy.

"Woosh!" The third portal opened and a third monster appeared.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The three roared one after another before their powers combined together. The purple fire was now overwhelmed with their combined white energy, eventually ending up to return inside the liquid.

Then a strange thing happened. That liquid suddenly got swollen up, enlarged fast, and Arthur could see the rise in the energy inside it.

"Damn! Don't tell me it's going to explode!" he couldn't help but panic, "take me out, now!"

In a flash a portal appeared next to him. However before he could jump and vanish, something different happened.

The liquid started to emit three rays of purple energy towards the monsters. The tentacles that liquid emitted were thin and weak at first, yet the three grew fast and became like three thick arms.

"What do you plan to do?" Arthur didn't hurry to leave. As long as it wasn't going to explode, then he had no reason to leave.

Plus there was something else happening now to the three monsters. The three arms got instantly inserted inside their bodies.

"Roar!"

The three released a unified roar full of pain for a long minute before their bodies lost all power and slammed on the ground motionless.

"Are… they dead?" Arthur didn't know what happened to them, but when he looked at the liquid, he saw it burning out like an old piece of paper.

In the next minute it vanished, leaving behind no trace at all!

Arthur looked around and didn't make a single move until he got the confirmation from the system and Gege that there was nothing left behind.

Through his eyes he couldn't see anything unordinary, yet what happened here couldn't be best described but being unordinary.

"Oh… they are alive!" he was shocked to see that the three monsters were breathing. They were just unconscious. "Are you… hibernating then?"

This was the only conclusion he could reach. They weren't dead, so what happened could be best described as an opportunity they got to level up.

'Ding! you better check things yourself,' the system suggested and Arthur nodded.

He closed his eyes, put his palm over one of the three monsters' heads before injecting a wisp of his energy inside.

And what he saw shocked him entirely.

The monster had a strange seed like, purple in color, fiery in nature, inside its soul. At first Arthur thought it was eating it away, but after further inspection he realized a shocking matter!

"It's… transforming it!!!" Arthur could already see the changes with his own eyes. The blood was slowly changing into purple fire, and the skin, muscles and bones were all changing into something marble like in nature.

As for the soul, it seemed like the soul itself was becoming more transparent and pure. It was like this fire was changing everything, turning this monster into something else.

'What do you think it is?' the golden dragon was speechless for a moment before adding, 'It's not killing it at least.'

Arthur was standing in his place motionless for a second before he suddenly acted. In a moment his old toolkit of arrays appeared and without any hesitation he slit his hand open and lit his blood to fill a bowl.

'Ding! What are you going to do now?' the system asked with a confused tone.

"I'm going to make a slave contract with them," Arthur hurriedly said, "there is no time to waste. They are changing, and I think I know what they are changing to."

'What is it then?' The golden dragon was more eager to know more than anyone else. 'I never saw such energy before in my life. Even my small wisp of soul is trembling with fear from it!'

'Ding! I also have the same feeling,' the system agreed, 'Ding! It's like I'm about to go into oblivion if I collide with it.'

"That's why I need to bind them soon, or else I have to kill them," Arthur was already expert in doing this array. In a matter of seconds he drew the necessary lines for the three contracts before he took runes and scattered them all after soaking them in his blood.

This time he used his blood entirely, making him feel a little dizzy. However he had no time for that.

He stood on one side of one array, where the word master was clearly engraved seven times.

'What are they going to turn into?' The golden dragon never saw Arthur doing such preparations before. It wasn't like he was trying to control them, but as if he was trying to protect himself from their danger.

'The Originals,' Gege finally spoke after a long period of silence out of her shock, 'they are turning to the ancient species who ruled this universe before!'

'…!!!'

'…!!!'

And the two others went into shocking silence before feeling more terrified.

"Activate!" Arthur didn't even bother with them before he hurriedly activated the first slave array.

If he didn't hurry to use this short window to dominate the souls of these monsters before they turn into originals, he would be done for! Everyone would be done for!
