Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Yet he rapidly collected himself and controlled his emotions. "Wanna fight? C\'mon, I didn\'t taste the blood of the dragon yet," and he tried to act mighty here, challenging Tina.

"Tina, back down!" Arthur wasn\'t in the mood to have more troubles as he shouted back at Tine stopping her from doing anything foolish. He was already standing beside Otman, who had his face wrinkled and seemed extremely agitated by what happened to her.

"Tsk, consider yourself lucky, worm!" Tina didn\'t act, yet she let her tongue to reply back with her loud voice that startled everyone.

 "A talking dragon pet? That kid is really lucky," another voice Arthur hated appeared from the corridor, "and luck seems to be blind and chooses unworthy kids for its sacred aid," Lady U added while entering the vast room with a group of three other elders.

"That kid, I told you she isn\'t worthy of any praise or support!" she said, while speaking about Amanda and addressing Mr. E.

"Not now," Mr. E tried not to enter a debate at this dark hour.

"Still favoring her? She won\'t survive this, and if she does, she will be crippled."

"How do you know that?" Arthur suddenly turns to face her ugly old face. "Do you know something we don\'t?" he added with such a tone that seemed to accuse and question her.

And that turned her face red of anger.

"You…" she muttered while her entire body trembled. "How dare you speak to me, filthy useless kid!"

"Lady U…" Suddenly this thunderous voice came from Mr. E while he moved towards her. "Answer the questions," he added, with such a strict face and strong attitude.

"What? Are you taking this kid\'s blabbery for real?!!`` She seemed agitated and nervous, yet she tried to shield herself from Arthur.

"This kid has a point," he reached the place to stand between her and Arthur. "No one here knows a thing about what happened or what is causing this illness to her. And here you seem quite confident about her; why?"

\'Ding! Good, you distracted them, go and test her now!\'

The system just asked Arthur to cause a distraction, and so he decided to use this vulgar lady to accomplish that. Despite him reacting on a whim, when Mr. E spoke he realized he had laid his hand over a sore spot. \'She knows something,\' he said to himself while turning at once and entered through the array Slone did.

Otman was standing next to him, so what he did was instantly noticed by him. He glanced over Arthur\'s face; it was the face of someone knowing what he was doing!

So he refrained to speak or alert everyone here.

Arthur reached at once to Amanda\'s pale hands and grabbed it within his. She was cold, weak, and faintly he could feel a pulse there.

\'Ding! Close your eyes and insert a wisp of your energy there,\' the system hurried him, as he knew what he was doing would be discovered soon.

Arthur did what his system instructed, and just as he closed his eyes and channeled his energy, Mr. B noticed him.

"Hey kid, what are you doing? Stop right there!!" he moved, trying to cause a distraction of what Lady U had attracted attention to her.

Everyone at once turned to glance at Arthur, who was now delving deeply inside Amanda\'s body; sending a wisp of energy to her.

"Stop right there filthy boy!" and Mr. B didn\'t stop at shouting as he moved trying to bypass Mr. E and reach Arthur.

"Roar!"

"Stop right there!"

"Don\'t move!"

Suddenly Tina acted to stand at once beside Mr. E shielding Arthur from the reach of that rude elder. Mr. E shouted as well as Otman, while Cesile and Slone moved from different directions to stand at once in front of Mr. B path, blocking him.

Things happened so fast, and it seemed like a war was about to erupt here. Arthur was in his own world at this moment, not knowing what was going on outside.

His system on other hand knew, but it refrained from saying a thing to him. He trusted those outside to stop those traitors while he directed his full attention to aid Arthur.

As he went inside her body, Arthur felt her soul weak, like a flickering candle light almost to extinguish. He moved around her body and found no damage there, which was a good thing after all.

"Time to see what is causing all this," he took a deep breath before he went directly to her soul.

Her soul was really about to extinguish at any moment. The soul fire inside her body seemed so dim that Arthur thought it was dying. "Yet nothing is there, what\'s going on? Is this a result of a hidden injury?" he muttered to himself while he found nothing out there causing her soul to be this week.

\'Ding! Let me inspect her soul,\' the system then extended a wisp of his own to touch her soul, carefully assessing her.

The moment he did so it retracted fast, like being stung by a viper.

"What\'s wrong?" Arthur was so keen at this moment, and he noticed what happened.

\'Ding! There is a thing infecting her soul directly, trying to eat it away!\'

"What do you mean by that? Is it a weapon? An injury?" Arthur didn\'t know what his system meant, after all he wasn\'t that deep at soul matters.

\'Ding! Neither! It\'s a living thing, so dark and aggressive, hungry for any soul. Just this mere moment of contact with it I thought like it was going to eat me alive!\'

"A living thing?" Arthur muttered before adding, "Extremely dark living thing? That\'s…" he paused before a thought popped up his mind. "Can my garden help?"

\'Ding! Your garden can, but the issue lies in time,\' the system paused there before adding, \'Ding! She has little time, not enough for your garden to do her magic.\'

Arthur went into silence for a moment, before saying: "Master once told me that even the dark pillars that were infected with extreme darkness still have some light within.. Only a trigger is needed, only a strong push can awaken these pure light souls lying within."
