Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

The pain was like nothing Arthur experienced before. However despite all this, the fire itself didn't even cause a single scratch over him.

It was all thanks to the black curtain. It kept him safe and kept torturing him as well.

Arthur almost lost track of what was going on in the real world around him. The shouts of that dark angel mage while laughing and celebrating early on his victory didn't even pass through Arthur's ears.

He was in his own world at the moment. Arthur tried to control this pain using everything, however he failed.

"I… shouldn't… lose… my consciousness here!'' This was the most stressing point he had to think about and focus on.

After failing in controlling the pain all he could do now was to consider his safety after this pain would end. If he ended up losing his consciousness then he would end up being as good as dead.

At the same time Gege kept screaming at him. She wanted him to just shift his body a little, just lean to one side and fall.

A portal was lying in wait for him, the one which brought the curtain to him minutes ago.

However no matter how hard and loud she screamed, her words never made their way through Arthur.

The latter was already in his own world of torture, and no matter what happened at the outside world he wasn't able to sense or feel it anymore.

He only felt deep and excruciating pain, nothing more.

Gege was very frustrated. If not for the lockdown on the space around done by that distasteful dark mage from before, she wouldn't have her hands tied up like this.

She could easily summon a portal and control it to pass over Arthur's body and take him in. or she could easily control the one next to him to swallow him inside her garden world.

However right now she couldn't do anything but wail and scream in panic, while the golden dragon and the system kept their silence.

There was nothing in their hands to do. Even trying to summon Nara and those mechas and the mages they selected and recently trained was something they couldn't do.

After all that purple fire was still raging all over the world. If they brought them out, then they would simply be killing them with no benefit or gain of any kind.

However this torture and these stressful moments ended up after five minutes. In fact the purple fire that dark angel summoned again and again kept the torture going on until Arthur stopped moving.

And that made the dark angel mage mistake him to be dead or deadly wounded to even move.

So he stopped all his attempts using the purple fire, and instead he screamed:

"Go, hack his body to shreds in front of my eyes!"

His shouts were followed by more gush of forces from his side. It seemed the lockdown he exerted over the space here just stopped.

'I'll get him inside now!' Gege noticed this as well and she seemed dead fixed on taking Arthur inside.

"No… wait…" however just before she could do anything, Arthur's weak voice came while panting for breath.

'You… are alive! Hahaha, he is alive, hahaha!' Gege laughed hysterically while the other two beings in his mind laughed as well.

"I'm not that easy to die," Arthur took in deep breaths before adding, "that damned dark angel! If I didn't fake death just now, he wouldn't have stopped that torture anyway."

After getting torture for such a long time, Arthur finally figured out the reason behind all this.

It seemed his curtain would react to the purple fire right now. So the more this fire existed, the longer his torture would continue.

And so he decided to fake death. He closed his eyes and even stopped breathing for a long minute.

It wasn't easy to do that, but he tried his best to fake his death using his body being shrouded underneath the black curtain and many ores.

And he succeeded.

The dark angel mage took the bait and stopped the purple fire. That made Arthur able to breathe in relief while feeling his body regaining his calmness like before.

The pain started to recede without any further ado. However he could still see the effect of that black curtain over his body and soul.

Despite all this torture, he started to feel refreshed like he just got up from a deep and long sleep.

He knew his strength must have grown exponentially compared to before. But he had no time to test this out.

After all that dark angel mage seemed to be dead serious in doing business. The latter didn't waste a single moment and instantly sent in legions of his forces.

And now it was time for Arthur to pay back that debt to his enemy, in double or even triple.

As such running away now would take away this chance from him. He didn't want to just kill everyone around, but he wanted to make that dark angel mage feel despair… real despair.

And to do that he had to strike now. If he went off grid, then his chance to slap this enemy's face would be lost.

"Summon everyone," Arthur stood up slowly while he felt like growing out two new wings on his back, "summon Nara and her mechas… Summon my dragons, summon that octopus, and summon even the normal mages… It's time to attack now!"

'Alright!' Gege said in excitement despite her not totally agreeing with Arthur's mindset.

If it was up to her, she would just take him inside her body and hide him there. His safety was everything she cared about.

But how could she refuse a request from him? How could let this chance to get revenge from that dark angel mage slip off her grip like this?

The next moment a large number of portals appeared.. Arthur didn't even wait for anyone of his forces to come out as he flew high in the air.
