Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

This battle, this rapid paced and very loud engagement attracted the attention of all. All the mages at this place moved outside their tents, looking with much interest towards this amusing battle, all except for one group.

The Nystic clan group!

 The early words of Arthur had made all of them stupefied, as he was accompanied by the well known falcon legion of their clan! This legion was a special force under the call of the clan head personally, and that meant these mages they were accompanying were such esteemed guests of their clan.

What happened next made them more unease, as they spotted the infamous shadow crows nasty group. The attack of Arthur and his mages over them, their sudden retreat with Arthur carrying someone's body, the persistent chase of the leader of the falcon group, and the heading of all of them towards here made them all vigilant.

There was something fishy going on here! they didn't need a brilliant mind to ascertain that! The current leader of this post started to move, ordering his men to prepare for battle, strengthen their outer defenses against other clans and guilds, preparing for any sudden backstabbing from any of them, utilizing this rare moment of chaos amongst his lines.

The relentless chase from the falcon leader was already causing a headache for Arthur, as he thought he might return to his sanity when he saw the target Arthur was heading to.

However, Arthur underestimated the severity of his blows to his enemy, as he drove the leader insane, only thinking about striking him down right now, not thinking about anything else!

Rage clouded his judgement at this intense moment, and thus Arthur had some options here, however he chose the most passive one, as he didn't want to reveal more about his own cards to his future possible contenders.

"Help, I have rescued the young sprout clan head from the shadow crows. Help, we are chased by this agent of them, he wants to kill young master Rayan!"

Arthur, without any shame, raised the body of the unconscious Rayan high in the air with his hand, while waving him like he was waving a flag! He was much nearer to the Nystic clan post, so they managed to clearly spot the known face of Rayan, their young master.

"It's master Rayan, our new sprout head! Go and save him, stop that traitor and capture him now! protect our young master!"

The loud, decisive, and strong sound of the leader of this post had already given the mages here the final closure to their dilemma, as they moved at once, to intercept the incoming enraged falcon leader, and the many mixed forces of shadow crows assassins on the ground, and the nervous falcon legion members from the air.

The distance between Arthur and them was getting near, but he knew that the persistent falcon leader was about to reach them before reaching the camp.

"Iman, Noura, with me," he suddenly shouted, as he patted on Ron's shoulder, making him turn sharply to face the incoming maddened leader. "Others keep going towards the camp, and wait for me there," he added, so his mages wouldn't be foolish enough to come here.

"Do you think you can stop me?!" the leader suddenly screamed, as he suddenly leaned on the falcon he was riding, and touched its feathers with his hands.

"That's the merging technique! He has the merging technique!" suddenly Noura muttered in panic, as if she had just witnessed something scary.

"What's wrong?" Arthur asked, "What's merging technique?" he added, as he didn't understand why she reacted like this.

"It means you are all going to die, you, these annoying little team of yours, and that weak bastard you just saved!"

Arthur glanced down at the subconscious Rayan, as he regretted not throwing him to one of his mages earlier. He thought of intercepting that leader, and nothing else.

"He can merge with his pet, unifying their powers, forming a unique form of monster that isn't easily fought," Iman was the one to speak, as she added with some hatred, "this is the ability of my ex. We should act with caution, as this isn't going to be an easy fight."

Arthur wasn't so trustworthy of Noura's estimation, but when Iman joined her side, he realized that mage wasn't an easy target to kill. "Should I transform then?" he muttered, asking himself more than asking them.

"No you don't!" suddenly this calm voice erupted out of nowhere, startling him, startling everyone in this place.

This voice was calm, but it was, strangely, clearly heard everywhere. Arthur raised his head, glanced around him to see where she was, but to his surprise he couldn't see her anywhere.

"This enemy is way much stronger than you, it's too early to clash with him, not right now at least," she added, before falling upon them from the high sky. She appeared like a tiny dot, but rapidly escalated to show her true figure, and her magnificent ride, that was well known to everyone here.

��Lady Cesile," many shouts of shock came from all the posts here, and Arthur just glanced at her with a gratitude look over his face.

She came to his aid, rescuing him from facing this traitor. He didn't doubt that transforming into a dragon would be enough to delay this leader, while reinforcements reached them.

However he was caring more about another thing, as after showing off like that he would attract more attention to him. and thus for, his post transformation weakness couldn't be hidden from their keen eyes.

His fatal weakness mustn't be revealed, not in the open, not in public, not to his potential enemies.

"Do you think you are enough to stop me?" the sound of the leader changed dramatically, to become like an ancient creature speaking to mortals. Arthur's heart suddenly was tightened, as he recognized that shape which started to appear in front of his eyes.

The previous mage and flying falcon had merged together, to show a form of a giant with four eyes, two large arms, one pair of huge wings, and two legs ending with broad claws.

"It's a mutant! An ancient mutant!"

He shockingly muttered, as he hurriedly grabbed Ron's shoulder with his arm while nervously yelling:

"Retreat, all retreat now!"

His words weren't surprising to any of the experienced mages here, as this form of that leader was a very famous one among all clans, a form that helped to shape the legend of the falcon legion.

"Do you think I will let you leave simply like that?" the leader sneered with his hideous tone, as two large swords suddenly appeared in his hands. He was ready to wave them, creating a deadly blow to Arthur, Noura, Ron, and Iman, alongside many mages of his clan and many others as well!

The back of him showed a shade of the same hideous giant, with three heads and two pairs of arms. That was his inner demon, magnified with his merge, making Arthur realize how dangerous his situation was!

However, Cesile was never to allow that leader to see his wishes being fulfilled!

She simply took out her own weapon, a knife, a curved knife with a sow like edge and a sharp crescent end that looked quite intimidating. "Go back to the hell you crawled out from," she simply bellowed at this giant as she waved her hand with the sword, creating a mighty eruption of a volcanic wave that fell upon the giant in a blink of an eye.

"Boom!"

A mighty violent explosion occurred with the giant being cut in half with her one attack! The ground he stood upon was cleavaged by the attack, creating a deep crater in it. Arthur stopped in the air, with the flying pets of Lily, with Noura on Birdy's back, and Iman standing on Amelia's pet.

They all looked with great astonishment towards the crater and the two halves of the giant which fell on each side of it. this simple wave of Cesile's sword was enough to destroy a mountain if it touched it! Arthur's scalp went numb, as this was his first time seeing the true might of a real master of this world.

"Impressive!" he simply muttered, with admiration more than shock, while others just nodded with extreme shocked faces.
