Chapter 604 - Taking Amelia On A Ride
"How is the city?"
As the leaders of his team reached him he asked after checking at their doings.
"It's… not that bad," Amelia hesitated before adding with a soft sigh, "but we lost many of the villagers and mages."
"Really?" Arthur was too much immersed in his fight here and didn't know things were that bad inside, "didn't they stop attacking you a while ago?"
"No," Ron shook his head, "they sent a large army and it managed to crack open the shields of the city. After that it was a simply brutal fight."
Arthur's eyebrows were raised before muttering, "I'll go and take a look."
He suddenly recalled something. "Deem, I want you to study something… Wait for Doaf, he will brief you with everything."
Deem nodded while Amelia asked, "won't we go together?"
She noticed he was about to turn into a dragon and suddenly he had an amusing idea. "Come, hop over my back," he said while turning into a dragon, "let me take you for a ride… but hold yourself quite well."
"Hmm," she nodded before jumping in obvious embarrassment over his back. For her he was her man, and riding over him like that made her face blush.
"Comfortable?" he asked.
"Y...Yes."
"Great," Arthur smiled before adding, "be ready."
The next moment he simply flapped his wings with his weakest strength, however the next instant he vanished to the middle of the sky.
"Ahhhh!"
Amelia screamed and her scream made him unwillingly laugh. He stabilized himself as he reached a suitable height. "Are you ok?" he checked on her.
"Damn… that was crazy!" she shouted in mere excitement in contrast to what Arthur thought she would feel.
"Oh, you seem to like it," he laughed, "take a good look around."
"Impressive," she admitted, "even on the flying bet this scene looked paler."
"Hahaha, you naughty girl just liked being on top of me," he playfully said and his sudden remark made her face turn rosy again.
"I bet your face is sexy right now."
"Stop it bad boy," she hit his scales and felt sour over her hand. He only kept laughing before spreading out his wings and floating in the air. "Amazing," she was taken hostage to the beauty of the scene over his back.
And he only kept smiling and said nothing.
When he flew over the city he spotted the damage caused there and sighed. "It can't be helped," he muttered.
"I will push everyone to work harder," she said trying to console him, "at least we won't start from the scratch."
"Barely," he muttered while thinking of the large armies heading towards here and the cunning enemy coveting his head. "I need to do something."
'I can teach you some strong attacks of higher planes if you wanted,' the golden dragon suddenly said.
'I think this might be a good idea, but not the needed solution for this crisis,' Arthur said while expressing out his thoughts, 'I'm not the only one here in this world under the pressure of those dark mages and outside dark invasion.'
'Your point?' the golden dragon asked in a harsh tone, while his pride was hurt by Arthur's refusal to accept his offer.
'He wants to start a resistance,' Gege suddenly spoke, 'and the funny thing is that I can help in that.'
'Really?' Arthur was surprised to hear that and instantly got hyped up, 'what do you have in mind?'
'Let me prepare things first,' she said before adding, 'at least you will need a day here to organize this tattered city of yours.'
'…'
Arthur didn't know why Gege acted in such a way but the two voices in his mind already knew the reason.
'Ding! There is also something very important you need to take care of it fast.'
Arthur felt the urge in his system of voice. 'What?' he asked while flying leisurely on top of his destroyed city while not caring about it now.
'It's about calling George,' the golden dragon said, 'you need to hurry in doing so.'
'What for?' Arthur knew these two wouldn't agree on something that was simply coincidental.
'Ding! Those coming from high up might grow restless and impatient if you kept defeating them like this.'
'Do you ask me to be defeated?' Arthur was speechless.
'No, it's not that,' the golden dragon hurriedly said, 'but if they went impatient then they would do something very reckless…'
'Like?'
'Destroying this entire world!' Gege said before sighing, 'C'mon boys, he is a grown up man and can handle such news.'
However Arthur felt instantly shocked and frightened. 'Can they do that?' he asked before adding, 'how?'
'By many ways,' the golden dragon ignored Gege's remark, 'the simplest way would be by inviting a berserk monster to eat this entire world as a whole. These monsters… they are always hungry.'
'How can we stop them?' Arthur was speechless there for a moment before thinking about a solution.
'Ding! You can't,' the system said, 'Ding! You need the help of your godfather.'
'So I need to contact him… I got it.'
'He is needed to seek for that planet full of ready to act dark mages. He must be aware of such big moves high up there, but we also need him to gather his forces and protect this world,' the golden dragon said, 'even if he couldn't fully protect it, then at least he would stop any calamity on a scale big enough to consume the entire world.'
'…'
Arthur went into silence for minutes before saying, 'Leave it to me,' he then turned to his intoxicated girl with this ride, "Hold tight, we are going down now."
"Is there something wrong… Ahhh!"
He didn't even wait for her to continue talking before he fell rapidly from high up to the below ground. "Hahaha, sorry, I love to hear your screams," he said while spreading out his wings before stopping in an empty space in the outer region of his city.
"You…" she hurriedly jumped with shaking legs while Arthur laughed.. "You are the one who said who loved it," he teased her and she only pouted her lips to look even more alluring.
