Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur's stay there wasn't peaceful at all. At first he remained sitting idle while training and using this amazing world to augment his cultivation speed.

However just after the passage of the first hour, the two eggs kept passing over his head frequently while showering him with their collateral attacks.

And he had to interrupt his training from time to time and defend himself using his sword.

To do that he had to keep half focus on training and half over his surroundings. He didn't aim to train seriously for now, as he was already at the peak of the nascent soul stage.

And getting any more towards the next big stage would be accompanied by a tribulation test, something he refrained from and tried to avoid as hard as possible.

"It's almost time," the voice suddenly said after the passage of seven hours and half, "be ready, the world is about to shutter."

"What should I do then?" Arthur asked.

"Just drop your blood here and let me do the rest," the voice said, "give me half a liter and I can use this."

Arthur didn't hesitate to injure himself with his sword. He previously had to bleed for hours and this was nothing in comparison. As he formed a small pod of blood, the voice said:

"I'll eject you outside the same way I did before to heal you," the voice said before warning, "but beware… this time the lightning would be more violent and I don't guarantee your safety inside that pocket."

"Then make it wider, old man."

"This isn't my point," the voice corrected, "what I care about is that the lightning would take you far away from my reach and so I won't be able to merge the world here with the world inside you."

"Oh," Arthur muttered before adding, "don't worry too much, I will always be nearby."

"Good," the voice said in strange excitement, "be ready, I'll throw you off now."

The next instant Arthur felt a strong hit to his body that was like a mighty wave. His body flew, uncontrollably hitting the membrane in the far distance before he exited it.

In fact he didn't totally leave, as his body was enveloped with a thin membrane of the same type that surrounded the world here.

"So you'll use this membrane to link the worlds together… impressive," Arthur muttered while examining the membrane that now covered his entire body.

'Watch out!' Yet the voice of the golden dragon erupted in a sudden shout that made him jolted awake and realize that the fears of the old man weren't groundless.

In front of him the world was lit up in blue white color while the sound of lightning hammering this place started to bang louder with each passing second.

He was inside a small place with a low ceiling. He knew he was inside part of the ground of that world, and now that lightning was trying to crash inside.

'Ding! The lightning outside is going berserk, be careful,' the system warned.

"Don't worry, I'll handle this," Arthur clenched his sword before activating the technique, "how is Gege doing?"

'Ding! Still sleeping like a lazy baby,' the system said.

'She won't be awake soon I guess.'

"I hope the opposite," Arthur muttered before he saw a crack appearing in the small place he was confined in, "after all the entire world here is going to merge with her body in the next hours."

'Really? Without her being awake?' the golden dragon was surprised.

'Ding! If she gained this, then she can recover faster using this new blood of energy,' the system said.

"That's what I hope," Arthur narrowed his eyes before he saw the world all around being covered in dense cracks like spider web, "keep an eye over her condition, my hands will be fully occupied here."

The next instant a hole appeared and a thick tongue of lightning crossed the distance in no time and landed upon his head. He was prepared and hastily welcomed it with his sword phantom, defending and deflecting this attack.

Then a second hole appeared, a third, a fourth, and rapidly more holes were formed in no time.

And Arthur only kept waving his sword, creating a dead zone for all lightning that dared to get near him.

"Damn!" just as he kept doing so, he noticed he was gradually being pushed away from his location, "that old man knew his enemy well," Arthur sneered before he flapped his wings and returned instantly to the place he previously occupied.

It seemed this move of him enraged the lightning as it started to rain more furious over his head, however Arthur deflected them all.

He kept exerting his utmost strength using all his concentration for hours. During this he kept replenishing his energy whenever he got time. Eating meat, consuming pills, he didn't hesitate to replenish his energy in all ways except for one.

"I hope this won't take much longer," Arthur knew he could replenish everything yet the golden energy. "Or else my technique would deplete and I'd be naked in front of this infuriated lightning."

He glanced around to see another wave of lightning gathering so near his head. "Damn, you never get tired," he cursed out loud before hurriedly asking, "how is the merge going?"

'Ding! Large pieces of lands already were formed inside,' the system said before adding, 'Ding! And I can feel her condition improving fast.'

"Not fast enough," Arthur gritted his teeth before waving his sword and welcoming the incoming lightning before deflecting them successfully, "I have little time left for my golden energy."

'I can help,' the golden dragon said, 'but I might go to slumber later if you took much energy from me.'

Arthur hesitated before sighing, "sorry my friend, there is no option here but this."

'Don't worry,' the golden dragon said, 'I believe she will be awakened soon before I sleep.'

"I hope that too," Arthur then turned towards another spot where more lightning was formed and started to take the shape of the head of a monster. "Is this… a dragon?" he strangely muttered before laughing, "this lightning… it's very funny."

'Hahaha, he thinks himself a dragon, damn!' the golden dragon laughed before Arthur hit that wave and deflected it once more.

Just after ten minutes, Arthur started to feel his golden energy getting weaker. "It's now or never my friend," he said and the golden dragon didn't speak as he injected his energy inside the golden pearl of Arthur.

And then the about to die technique regained its former glory. "Damn! Even I feel much more powerful after using your energy!" Arthur exclaimed in surprise before hitting another lightning wave that got so near his head.

'My energy isn't that trash of the lower world's energy you knew of,' the golden dragon said in a weak tone before adding, 'I can't speak again… let me focus all over replenishing your energy. You got ten hours this way.'

"I'm sure either the world integration would be over by then, or Gege would be awakened."

Arthur wasn't off the mark this time, as just after the passage of six hours the two things happened simultaneously.

'Wow, I slept for too long it seemed!'

All of sudden Gege's voice appeared which brought much joy to Arthur. "Welcome back," he said before hurriedly adding, "hurry and replace the golden dragon to replenish the pearl."

'Oh,' she muttered while noticing what was going on, 'leave it to me.'

The next moment Arthur felt his energy and technique going slightly weaker, which meant Gege regained control again. 'Sorry old dragon, I overslept this time.'

'It's… alright,' the golden dragon said in broken tone, 'I need to rest… wake me up when you finish.'

He went to silence and Arthur just felt bitter inside his heart. However he knew this was something he couldn't evade, or else he would have been long cooked by this lightning.

"Kid," less than an hour later, the voice of the old man rang inside his mind, "the last pieces of the world are about to be merged with your precious garden. It will be the last time I see this world, and I'm very grateful for you, so let me gift you this last aid before I die."

Arthur didn't know what the old man meant, but suddenly the entire lightning around got all sucked inside a very dark spot that suddenly appeared miles away from him.

"These lightning will go all over this world and punish anyone that holds ill intention inside his soul for you. I won't guarantee to kill them all, but at least your enemies will be decreased by a large chunk. Besides…"

The voice paused and Arthur saw a gigantic pillar of lightning erupting from this dark spot, heading directly towards the sky, "I know how desperate you are trying to connect to the higher realms. I've already sent a signal to the person you are seeking, and he will come here soon to answer your call."

Arthur was speechless. This old man was so scary and freakingly strong! That was what he thought of while the old man said his last words:

"It's sad how the matters of the universe ended up in such a way. When you reach the pinnacle and be strong enough, go and seek all the original pieces scattered all over the universe and merge them together. The truth of this world would appear to you by then and I trust you'll make the right decision.. Good luck blue dragonair, might your will and spirit remain igniting fiercely like this forever."
