Chapter 646 - Sealing The Portal
Arthur watched those long black tongues of smoke descending from the sky like ravens of death. He swallowed his throat and felt instantly threatened.
"Rumble!"
Just as he was shocked by this development, the ground suddenly shook as Doaf and Amera managed to finally find the portal array and started to destroy its components.
And the next moment those coming from above started to show signs of reduction like an invisible gigantic hand was squeezing them.
'Ding! You should act fast,' the system urged, 'Ding! The egg is already about to be activated!'
'I can't handle all those higher ups' energies at once,' Gege screamed, 'Please do something!'
Arthur clenched his hands while a crazy idea popped up in his mind. Despite the efforts of Doaf and Amera, the portal wasn't totally sealed by now.
"Bring it on," Arthur suddenly muttered, "it's time to fight as crazy as my enemy does."
'This…' Gege was able to read his mind and she was startled by the thought in his mind for a moment before the next she added, 'What do you need?'
'Move it with me,' he said, 'and prepare all the pillars here, bring everything.'
The next moment he flapped his wings and started to rise fast, heading alone towards the thick tongues of smoke which started to twist around themselves while heading directly towards him.
And all of sudden he was surrounded by his own pillars, heading alongside him towards the sky.
The two sides kept getting closer faster while they looked like two gigantic pillars heading towards each other.
"Now!"
Arthur suddenly shouted the moment he was so near his enemies.
"Swoosh!"
Without any warning the egg appeared all of sudden in front of him. It was broken free from the prison Gege was hardly maintaining by her energy, and now it shone in bright color while Arthur moved his activated technique and hit it.
He felt his entire body shudder under the immense pressure from this sun-like small egg, but in the end he managed to crash it fast upward while he crashed down below.
"Keep them up," he shouted while trying his best to stabilize himself while the egg swept the enemies like they were mere flies standing in her way.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The sounds of explosions kept raging wild from up there and the egg kept crashing into the descending thick tongues of smoke, killing anyone inside them without reservation.
"Trap anyone escaping," Arthur shouted again while moving fast, heading back towards the wild egg as he ingested many pills and meat, "don't let any run away!"
'I won't,' Gege said, 'after all my life and whole existence depend solely on this.'
He knew she could be depended upon, but he didn't want anything to happen. "Support her," he said and his words were meant for the system.
Aside from her, the system could help in controlling these pillars while the golden dragon couldn't do anything but to supplement her with energy if needed.
Getting closer to it, he didn't hesitate to crash his sword once more to add more momentum to the rapidly decelerating egg.
And again it moved fast towards the sky, crashing more enemies in the way.
As everyone already was aware of its devastation, they suddenly broke free and started to run freely, trying to escape with their lives.
Yet anyone who did so was instantly surrounded with the pillars, forming a prison that was sturdy enough to contain them for now.
And those who seemed quite dangerous were thrown the next instant in the path of the more ruthless egg.
"Again," Arthru went for the third time to hit the egg and this time he managed to clear most of the hostiles, while the rest were confined inside their prisons.
"Rumble!"
At this moment Doaf and Amera finally managed to nullify and damage the portal array enough to cause it to go dysfunctional. This was accompanied by a massive wave of energy that hit even the egg and made it descend fast towards the ground with the heavily injured Arthur.
"Move us out now!" yet his mind was clear and very focused on everything going around. As the portal array was damaged and there were only a handful of external invaders loose, he wasn't needed here anymore, neither was the egg.
Plus this massive fall made it clear if the egg crashed into the ground then a brutal explosion might erupt that wouldn't let Gege escape unscathed from it.
The next moment he vanished from this world to appear in a world full of lightning. His sudden appearance there was welcomed by violent hits from the lightning, as if it knew what he planned to do.
Yet he was totally prepared. Even before stabilizing his body he moved his sword hard and fast to welcome any descending pillars of lightning and rapidly negate it.
"Make Doaf and Amera lead a team to hunt those survivors down," he gritted his teeth before noticing the egg appearing all of sudden before him, "and help to pinpoint them with pillars."
'I'm on it,' Gege said in a very distressed tone, 'Sorry I couldn't move you directly at the membrane, but it's half a mile to your right.'
"No problem," Arthur defended another tongue of lightning before adding, "you've done enough already. Leave the rest to me."
He didn't have time to think and as he glanced over the egg, he found it doing great alone by resisting the falling lightning.
And that made more lightning to converge upon it, surrounding it like a shell of deadly lightning.
And Arthur just needed to go there and do his magic to take it towards the membrane nearby.
"No time to care for safety then," he gritted his teeth and started moving fast towards it, "Sorry, but I'll need to kick your ass this time as well," he didn't hesitate to hit the egg with all his might to send it flying towards the direction he wanted.
And this wasn't easy, considering he was being hit mercilessly all the time with the lightning.
