Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

The system then went silent while Arthur flapped his wings and started heading towards the distant lands and forests.

He didn\'t know the exact topography of this region, as the maps Olor provided only cared about the political lines and main grand geographical features. So when he crossed the forest and saw a large lake, he didn\'t know where to go next!

"Should I follow the giant mountains?" he muttered while glancing over the mountains at the far distance.

\'Ding! I advise against that,\' the system suddenly spoke, \'Ding! Some already saw a cart so huge to be dragged by gigantic flying monsters around that lake.\'

Arthur smiled as he said: "Which direction?"

\'Ding! Just cross the lake directly and you will end up meeting them.\'

"Over the lake?" Arthur was surprised.

\'Ding! That\'s what all agreed on; this cart never left the lake!\'

"Weird," Arthur muttered, "and suspicious!"

He didn\'t move out at once as he landed first and took out thirty corpses of the killed monsters. "Turn them into dragons," he muttered before touching each one for a moment there and turning them next to grand dragons.

They looked strong, yet they weren\'t close to the ten he got from the guards of Anna. "More reasons for me to hunt them down," he smirked before waving his hand and adding this new batch to his small army of dragons.

"Time to kill some dark disciples," he laughed before flying above the lake heading towards the distant front.

The lake was enormous, much vaster than what he initially expected. "It\'s a small sea not a lake!" he reached this conclusion when he found himself flying on top of pure water everywhere he looked. "Sigh, please keep me informed about the direction, everything looks the same to me!"

\'Ding! Rise higher then,\' the system said, \'Ding! But not too high!\'

"Hahaha, don\'t worry, I won\'t end up being sent to another region."

He started to rise up but he didn\'t delve deeply inside the cloud layer. He kept his place so high and his vision clear without many clouds blocking his eyesight. "that\'s better," he muttered before he finally spotted a distant point that shone brightly under the scorching rays of the sun.

"Found you!" he laughed before he started heading in that direction.

\'Ding! Stop, there is something else there,\' the system suddenly said, stopping Arthur in track. "You used the scout ability?"

\'Ding! Sure, and this isn\'t a single cart!\'

"What?" Arthur was surprised for a moment there, "don\'t tell me the two are already here competing together!"

\'Ding! It\'s as you just described, and so it\'s better not to meddle in their fight for now.\'

"Hehehe," Arthur laughed while retreating slightly up. "I like your evil mind."

\'Ding! Learning from the master.\'

Arthur laughed before staying there in the clouds, waiting for the fight to end.

Yet things seemed not as simple as he initially thought!

\'Ding! They are coming near here,\' the system said, before adding, \'Ding! They aren\'t alone!\'

"There are more guards with them?" Arthur asked.

\'Ding! Not guards, there is something else the two are fighting to obtain.\'

"A treasure?"

\'Ding! An egg!\'

"Egg?" Arthur was speechless for a moment, "what that egg has to do with them?" he muttered, before adding, "and what\'s wrong with an egg? Why do you seem skeptical and cautious about it?"

\'Ding! This egg isn\'t from this world,\' the system suddenly said, while Arthur realized the system was originally an old and mighty being of this world.

"It\'s something they brought with them then?"

\'Ding! It\'s probable, but I think they are fighting to obtain it; like they just found it here.\'

"Weird!"

\'Ding! That\'s not all, this egg can manipulate the waves and so they aren\'t only fighting themselves, they are fighting the egg as well!\'

"…"

Arthur didn\'t know what to say except he shook his head. "An egg that\'s fighting and causing them trouble? What\'s inside it? A dragon!!"

\'Ding! It\'s still a possibility,\' the system said before adding, \'Ding! But you need to be careful, this egg is dangerous!\'

"C\'mon, it\'s an egg!"

\'Ding! See for yourself!\'

Arthur glanced at the rapidly approaching two gigantic carts and dozens of monsters guarding each cart while a strange shaped item appeared in front of his gaze. "What is this?!!" he asked in surprise and doubt.

\'Ding! That\'s the egg!\'

"This is no egg! No egg has such a gigantic body or that freak mouth!"

Arthur glanced at the egg to see it was at least equal to the two gigantic carts together. What was weird wasn\'t all these inscriptions over its surface, or the strange luster that covered it, but that widely opened mouth with long thick tongue protruding from within!

\'Ding! That\'s an egg! I confirmed it!\'

"This…" Arthur couldn\'t believe his eyes. The egg was moving freely on the surface of the water, with its lower part being immersed in it. The water was stirred around the egg, forming giant pillars that stretched and danced in the sky.

And their aim was the two carts and those monsters guarding them!

"These water pillars… they are strange," Arthur muttered while he noticed whenever the water pillar hit a monster, that monster would have his skin peeled off and die!

Even when touching the strong cart, a large piece of the cart would instantly be smashed and disappeared the next moment!

"Is this an eroding effect? With water?!" Arthur was surprised by his conclusion.

\'Ding! It\'s not burning, it\'s decaying!\'

"Decaying? These monsters are aging?!!"

\'Ding! Yes, and as time has no rival, you can\'t handle these dangerous pillars no matter what. It\'s better to retreat for now.\'

Arthur knew his system was telling what was safe for him, yet he felt something in him urging him to press forward and show himself up. "Why do I feel a link with that egg?" he suddenly asked.

\'Ding! You feel something from that egg? That monster!!\'

"You can say that," Arthur didn\'t know how to describe this feeling, "it\'s like someone is calling for me to come and show myself up!"

\'Ding! Wait a minute, I\'ll scan you first,\' the system suddenly went silent for long minutes while the more the egg came closer to Arthur\'s location, the stronger that feeling haunted him.

\'Ding! Retreat! Fast! It\'s a soul attack with such dominance I never saw before!\'

"Tsk," Arthur was already much annoyed by this. "I hate soul attacks!!" he cursed while he retreated fast, far away from that place. "That\'s why these two are dead fixed on getting near that egg despite all their losses," he glanced at the two carts and those monsters around them falling one by one while sighing. "Scary!"

\'Ding! I totally agree.\'

"What can we do now?" Arthur sighed, "can I have this egg?"

\'Ding! Wanna make an omelette perhaps?\'

"Hahaha, funny," Arthur sarcastically said before reaching a safe distance. "Five kilometers radius, that\'s a monstrous effect in any grand war!"

\'Ding! I agree, but this...\' the system was skeptical about the crazy desire of Arthur. 

"Don\'t worry, I\'m not under the spell of that dark egg," Arthur reassured his system, "we just need to lay down the perfect trap, that\'s all!"

\'Ding! You have a plan, right?\'
