Chapter 439 - A New Dragon Power
Arthur didn\'t fully understand those words, yet he answered:
"I\'ll master, but your wisp of the soul is so restless to gain revenge."
"It didn\'t see what I saw here," the sound suddenly laughed, "my revenge is guaranteed on your hands, kid. No need for my soul to be restless upon something that will eventually happen."
The voice faded away as well, and Arthur stood alone in the middle of a much bigger ball of fire that kept alternating between pitch black and bright gold.
This kept happening for a long time, and as time passed the two colors started to show off less often.
Alongside these changes, the size of the ball started to shrink, while returning to the normal size of the golden star.
"What power will it end up with?" he muttered to himself and his waiting ended with an answer.
"Blue?!!" he was surprised. He thought the mix of the two would end up to be silver, not blue. "What ability I will have right now?" he was curious, yet when the final color resided over everything, he felt such a deep pain in his soul, combined with a burning pain in his hand.
The next moment he opened his eyes to find himself standing still in the last place he was at, just in front of the place of the golden ball. But there was no ball anymore.
"What happened?" he was startled as he didn\'t think he would be kicked out in such a way.
"You say it, not us," the golden dragon soul said before adding, "strange, why do I feel another aura coming from you? It\'s mine, yet it isn\'t!"
"Ding! You went inside and we couldn\'t follow. The link between the two of us was severed and you were inside all on your own," the system explained in more words he could understand.
"For how long?" he asked while glancing around to pause in shock. "Wow, did I go inside for a couple of days or something?!"
The initial wide space he was inside got escalated by many folds now. Many were working everywhere with numbers exceeding what he initially left behind.
"You stayed inside for an entire week kid," the dragon soul said before hurriedly adding, "tell me what the hell is wrong with my power? Where is my old power?"
"Ding! While you were inside, I kept pouring out villagers to work. At the same time I kept storing all the ores inside your garden. There are mountains now made entirely of the same ore."
"Agnus must be happy," Arthur laughed before he was cut by the shouts of the golden dragon soul: "Where is my old power? This power isn\'t mine!"
"Don\'t shout," Arthur laughed before adding, "I\'ll explain things later but first I need to check on something."
He raised his hand, his right hand, and closely examined it. The last pain he felt came from it, like he was getting branded by the blue fire. "Why can\'t I see any change?" he muttered while sighing, "I must have gotten insane at the last moment then."
Despite saying that, he never believed in these words. He knew he was burnt there, yet for some reason he didn\'t.
"C\'mon, stop mumbling nonsense to yourself and come to explain everything to me!!" the golden dragon was furious, and somehow Arthur felt another thing from his shouts.
"Are you… afraid?"
"What?" no way!"
"Ding! He is."
Arthur laughed as he never thought of this. "Makes sense, so I\'m now considered a higher version of the dragon than you, hehehe."
"Stop fooling around and start explaining," the dragon soul jumped over the last issue and claimed a reason for all these weird changes.
"Tell me first," yet Arthur enjoyed toying with him, "have you ever seen such a power like mine before?"
"Well…" the question startled the golden dragon.
"Oh, you\'ve seen it," the eyes of Arthru shone, with strange blue light that he couldn\'t perceive, "tell me all about it."
"You tell me first!"
"Nah, you say and then I\'ll tell," Arthur smiled in amusement before adding, "after all I didn\'t need your answer, yet you do, hehehe."
The golden dragon soul couldn\'t play anymore as Arthur was right. "Tsk, it\'s not the exact energy to be clear, but it\'s slightly similar to the feeling I had when dealing with those wicked silver dragons."
"Oh," Again Arthur\'s eyes shone briefly with bright blue light, "that\'s interesting," he nodded as his previous guess proved to be right.
"Now you tell, what\'s this all about?"
"Well, simply put I couldn\'t abandon the black dragonair\'s energy," Arthur said before his system asked: "Is it Willy\'s soul fragment?"
"Indeed."
"If you didn\'t abandon it, then why can\'t I see it inside you anymore?" The golden dragon was quite impatient and slightly nervous.
"Well," Arthur grinned before adding, "as I couldn\'t get rid off that energy, and was about to lose yours, I had no other choice but to merge them together."
"What?!!!" this time the golden dragon was shocked to the limit even Arthur\'s soul slightly trembled. "Collect yourself, you are supposed to be my master," Arthur laughed before adding, "or let\'s say a tiny fragment of a master perhaps?"
"Ho… How do you know that?" the golden dragon was more shocked while Arthur just laughed. "Long story, keep it for later."
"C\'mon, tell me everything."
"Nah, not feeling to," Arthur amusingly smiled before saying, "besides you can read my mind and know everything that happened," he watched the strange silence that came from the two entities inside his head before adding, "are you?"
"Ding! We regained part of the connection with you, but not over your thoughts and intentions."
The simple yet clear response of the system made his eyes wider. "Amazing," he laughed the next moment while feeling blessed by this gift. "Even you, the experienced soul master, can\'t sneak over my thoughts now?"
"Tsk, don\'t brag much about it, you still know nothing about soul stuff."
"Hahaha," Arthur was really amused by such an outcome. "Alright, time for me to leave," he glanced around while sighing, "it\'s sad to leave this treasure untouched."
"Ding! I can link a gate here if you want."
"Good choice," Arthur nodded before adding, "go and make a couple of gates here." He paused as he realized something, "won\'t these gates be smashed the moment I leave this world?"
"Ding! This is true indeed."
"Then why not link my star map here then?"
"Ding! Your star map has only one main outlet when you leave the world."
"But it was upgraded not long ago, and supposedly it\'s upgrading now, right?"
Arthur left the final fight over that dark clan\'s headquarters at the early start. He was sure the fight should have ended long time ago. "Go there and check it for me," he demanded and the system went silent for couple of minutes before saying:
"Ding! You\'re right, it has two more free permanent outlets now."
"Great," Arthur\'s smile grew bigger, "link one to here and one back to my city."
"Ding! And the third one? You still plan to conquer the Amazor dark clan?"
"Any dark clan must be destroyed," the golden dragon soul kept his silence all this time while watching the two chatting like old buddies. "Link it to that Amazor clan and let\'s pump over them now!"
"Ding! I don\'t answer to you, I only answer to the master."
"And I\'m your master\'s master!"
"This is debatable," Arthur said with a laugh, "stop it you two, I plan to hit the Amazor clan first to use the chaos erupted from the destruction of the main base."
