Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

"You won't live longer!" The hatred Arthur felt in that mage's voice made him laugh. He knew his enemy was already pressured and he was about to use his ultimate weapon now.

But what that dark angel mage didn't anticipate was that Arthur already had a counter against such a weapon.

In fact he had more than one counter to it.

"Rumble!"

The world all around changed all of sudden while a dark and fierce looking purple fire erupted from one building.

"It's coming," Arthur didn't show any shocking expression over his dragonair face. Instead he looked so calm and very collected.

Everything was simply going the way he expected.

"Bring them out, now!" he said while the next moment many portals appeared. And then he was buried underneath a mountain of ores.

These ores were one of the ways he had to face this fire. After all they could stop it from extending towards the world outside.

And this giant pile of rocks that buried him would shield the fire off his body.

"Woosh!"

"Woosh!"

"Woosh!"

Inside that pile of rocks, all he could hear was sounds of fire clashing fiercely with the ores all around. However as expected, these ores never let a single wisp of fire through.

"Damn you!" the dark angel mage seemed very furious at the moment, "'Go, tear these annoying tocks to pieces for me!"

Just as Arthur expected, many portals flashed all around his pile of rocks before a great number of elites and even some grandmasters appeared from them.

In front of this purple fire, even those invincible beings were threatened to die in a matter of moments.

However they started to use their strongest attacks the moment they appeared to push away and crush all these ores.

Arthur knew the sole weakness of these ores. They weren't immune against any kind of attacks other than the purple fire.

That was why his weak villagers worked efficiently and got a lot of them in a short time span. They didn't even need to exert too much power to mine them out.

However that dark angel mage greatly underestimated Arthur in this point.

"Woosh!"

"Woosh!"

"Woosh!"

As his enemy brought forth more portals, Gege also did the same. As his sworn enemy summoned more troops, Gege brought more ores to replace those destroyed by the mages' attacks.

In the end it was a war of attrition while Arthur held the upper hand. After all, he knew the purple fire was limited to a few minutes. If he could sustain himself during these minutes, he would emerge victorious in the end.

In return the dark angel mage never stopped throwing away his men's lives like they were worthless ants. The more he sent, the more furious he became as he saw no obvious result in this.

"Damn you! I order the world to seal everything!"

As he lost this card, he decided to go crazy and do this thing. In the next instant the entire space around Arthur got frozen by these words.

'I can't summon more portals anymore!' Gege couldn't help but scream in panic, 'only those existing here will work, and they also are getting affected. I can't bring forth so many ores like before.'

"Oh, so he still has such a card up his sleeve," despite this looking bad for him, Arthur kept his calm and didn't show any sign of stress.

He already could feel the amount of ores all around were getting thinner with each passing second. That distasteful mage blocked the path in front of new portals, and even limited the function of the existing one.

Arthur didn't know how he did it, but he wasn't clueless to fight against such a situation as well.

"Bring it forth, now!" he simply said while turning his gaze towards the portal next to him. It was summoned from the beginning when he got buried underneath the rocks.

And now as the ores lose their use, he had to use his second way to face this fire.

After all, and according to his estimation, this fire would be put down in less than one minute.

All he needed to do was to hang out for one minute, only one minute and he would emerge victorious in the end.

Losing this fight here meant that dark angel mage wouldn't follow through with this tactic. Arthur already guessed that his enemy didn't have anymore alternative at the moment, which meant he could safely claim the rest of settlement before that mage would do anything stupid again.

But Arthur had to first survive this minute, no matter what!

'It's there,' Gege said and the next moment something came out from the portal. Without any hesitation Arthur grabbed it and covered his entire body with it.

Just as he did so, he felt a sudden burning sensation all over his body. It was like he just jumped inside lava or the depth of a volcano.

He didn't know what went wrong, but just before he could know what happened the ores around him started to vanish.

Holes appeared at an increasing rate before fire poured mercilessly through these gaps.

"Die! Die! Die! Die!" The dark angel mage kept screaming out in a vicious way while Arthur could feel the strong gush of the fire over his body.

However there was something standing in between his body and this fire; the black curtain.

He took out a large piece of it and risked using it at this moment. He had either to choose between using it or exposing the originals he had.

For him he didn't want to reveal his originals, not at this early stage of the game with that mage.

And so he took out the curtain, but the reaction it gave him exceeded his expectations.

He once saw what happened to Amera, she also felt uneasy like this. But this feeling didn't last longer than a few seconds.

And now Arthur already passed thirty seconds while twitching in deep pain. He felt real agony and couldn't help but roar in deep pain.

What he didn't realize was that the purple fire had a hand in this. The moment the fire touched his body and that black curtain, it activated something in the curtain.

Instead of lasting for a few seconds, the curtain kept torturing Arthur as long as the fire continued to exist.

And to add more to this desperate situation, the dark angel mage suddenly summoned another dark liquid covered with a dark curtain.

"It seems you are still alive even after all this," the dark angel mage said before the next moment he let one of the minions around to remove the curtain.

"Then let me help you and give you one more chance to die!" the sinister laughs of the dark angel mage went astray amidst Arthur's painful roars.

Right now Arthur couldn't help but roar non-stop. As for the words of the dark angel, his mind couldn't even process them properly out of deep pain.

Arthur was feeling the worst pain he ever experienced in his entire life. Even when he was trapped once inside one hell of a torture inside one of the tribulations in his past life, he didn't feel such pain.

This pain was different. It wasn't punishing him, but it was changing every single bit of his body and soul.

And he could feel everything like he was undergoing a heart surgery without getting any anesthesia.
