Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

"What fast?" the golden dragon sneered, "we took a day and a couple of hours in the next one to finish."

"Wow, all that?" Arthur was shocked as he only thought he stayed only for an hour or a couple. "Sigh, this state… I really miss it."

"This is a delusion," the golden dragon said before adding, "some would even be crazed by this. You are lucky that you only kept laughing like an idiot for hours before finally becoming quite."

Arthur knew this wasn't the case, as he already was familiar with this moment of enlightenment. He didn't speak about this anymore while checking the road map he devised just now.

"Interesting," he revised what he planned and was impressed. "Like this I can be sure to have an invincible team," he muttered before adding, "at least not too much weaker than me."

"Why are you so happy about these shockwaves?" the golden dragon noticed his strange mood and weird words.

"Nothing," Arthur shrugged before adding, "how are the new monsters?"

"Ding! See for yourself."

Arthur turned to the ground below while watching the massive numbers of monsters moving towards one direction like a gigantic army of locust. "Where are they heading?"

"Ding! I selected a place near the center of the garden to stay there," the system said before adding, "Ding! They will be replaced with the next batch. Give me a day until I finish organizing things here."

"No problem," Arthur said before glancing over the monsters moving under him. "Impressive, their bodies at least are doubled and the vibe I'm getting from them changed," he muttered before adding, "and what is this small halo above their horns?"

He referred to some monsters who started to show a small circle of light around the tip of the horn.

"These are signs that these monsters are able to jump to the next level after gaining human form," the golden dragon said.

"Aren't they all able to reach higher ranks?" Arthur asked.

"Of course not," the golden dragon instantly replied, "they are just like humans, only selected few of them have the potential to rise higher."

Arthur was surprised to hear that. He thought every monster was able to reach higher stages, but it didn't seem to be the case here.

"Good, I noticed these halos early then," he said before adding, "separate those who have potential and send them to the heart of the garden."

"Ding! Won't you use them?" the system said in a surprised tone.

"I thought you wanted to use all the strong monsters with high potential," the golden dragon joined the system.

"That was true when I thought every monster can reach me towards the higher realms than here," Arthur shook his head before adding, "so I have to start preserving those unique monsters and try to care about them."

"Ding! It's your call, and I'll execute what you asked me for."

"Good," Arthur nodded before thinking about his next thing to do. "Let's check over the cooking area," he flapped his wings and went directly towards the distance.

In less than ten minutes he checked over everything there. As he left for over a day already, many piles of cooked meat started to appear. "Good, they will need five more days to finish that piece of meat," he muttered before moving to check the six groups of his top followers.

They were so deeply immersed in training that no one noticed him. What he saw made him quite satisfied, and he had the thought of what he could do in this one day time his system asked for.

He went towards the calmest place here in his garden; the sky castle. Once passed through the barrier, all the explosions ceased to disturb him.

He sat in the vast, and now empty plaza before taking out the books he took from masters.

"Time to read them," he said before opening the book about the basic principles of arrays.

He needed two full days to study all of them. The moment he finished he closed the book in hand and glanced all around in silence.

"Ding! For your knowledge the monsters are ready a day ago," the system reminded before adding, "Ding! I already told you and you asked to have more time studying these books."

Arthur smiled before calmly saying:

"Many things are different in this world." He paused before adding, "There is room to expand and advance these knowledge, and luckily I have time to do that."

"Will you do this now?" the golden dragon was surprised.

"No," Arthur shook his head, "I need that enlightenment to make me able to finalize the plan in mind."

"Ding! I'll move you there now."

The next moment Arthur appeared above the endless sea of monsters. He changed instantly to his dragon form before taking out his bow and arrows. "I hope I can have great ideas this time," he muttered before starting to hit the pillars with the help of his system.

His mind never stopped thinking deeply about what he read. Most of the knowledge here seemed strangely familiar, yet different from what he used to know back in his days as cultivators.

Yet as he could determine familiar areas, he was able to pinpoint a rough path to evolve what he learnt from these books.

"Alchemy, forging, sword techniques, and finally arrays… all have room for improvement on a basic level," he muttered when he stood on top of the bottomless abyss in the center zone of the gigantic flower. "Time to think deeper then."

He took out arrows and started releasing them one by one towards the hole. Each arrow exploded and caused the same reaction like before, and in less than one hour he was assaulted by the shockwaves and entered the stage of enlightenment.

Through this peculiar and special situation, his mind was working hundreds of times faster comparing between the vast knowledge he had from his life as a cultivator with what he read here so far.

His mind was like a machine working with much power than its usual, making him reach conclusions pretty fast and assess things in his mind like never before.

He had also tried making things assumingly in his mind, while assessing the pros and cons, assessing failure and errors that he anticipated.

Like this he stood in his place for a day and half this time, even after the end of the entire process and the vanish of the energy backlash. He kept himself with sheer will power and desire in this state for half a day before finally opening his eyes and a flash of blue light appeared in them.

"This is amazing," he muttered while the next moment he laughed.

"Finally you decided to come out of this weird state," the golden dragon said before adding, "the monsters finished upgrading hours ago and the system started directing them in batches towards the central part of your garden."

Arthur glanced around, and as the golden dragon mentioned a part was missing.

"Ding! The monsters are aligned in batches, waiting for you to start."

"Oh," Arthur recalled what he intended previously to do.. He thought he would go and try out what he had reached in thinking first, yet he realized he had to postpone this for later.
