Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

The way of building and lighting the whole place like this made him feel somehow warm, like being home after a long journey outside. He glanced at the boxes packed above each other, in square blocks, with top of these boxes opened showing what was inside them.

"All of these are arrays!" he muttered with disbelief, as he saw flags with runes gathered together in the boxes around him. He moved slowly towards one of the boxes, and tried to examine the array.

"Hmm, each box had a drawing on it explaining its effect," he muttered as he noticed a small drawing on the outer surface of the wooden box. The drawing was a small dome surrounding a piece of land, explaining its effect. "A defensive array, let's see the next ones then," he moved his wings towards the nearby boxes, and examined all.

"So this hall contained defensive arrays only," he muttered after taking a random tour around. Every box he saw had the same drawing, with some minor changes in it. "Let's see the next hall then," he moved towards the corridor, flying there until he reached an exact copy of the first hall.

He went towards one of the boxes and examined the drawing on it; it showed the appearance of a huge arrow attacking an area, creating an explosion in it. "Such an offensive array is suitable to be situated on top of the defensive towers in my city," he muttered before taking dozens of these boxes, clearing out half a block. "They might be useful in destroying the defensive shields around that castle."

He took them so he could hasten the destruction of the defensive arrays around the castle. He was fighting against time, and he needed anything to help. He then moved towards the next hall, as this one was filled with offensive arrays.

The next one had offensive arrays too, forming a tornado of air around a certain place. He took a dozen as well before heading to the next hall; where he finally found what he came here for.

"Finally found you!" he smiled while standing in front of a box with a drawing of a large area being on fire, while the wave of destruction was focused upon another area.

This was similar to the description he had about the array from Sara, and when he examined the box, he found twelve flags and many runes.

"Hmm… I think using a single array isn't enough, right?" He took dozens of boxes, clearing two whole blocks here. He glanced around the distant corridors, feeling somehow anticipated for the next halls. But he had no much time to waste!

He simply opened his eyes, and found himself was about to reach the defensive array zone. "Just mere minutes here and I think I took around half an hour inside, sigh!" he tried to calculate the time difference and found it larger than he expected.

"Are you finally awake?" Tina asked, as it seemed she tried to speak to him previously with no response. "We met some patrolling warriors, and we killed them all," she said when he gave her a questioning glance.

"Then they know we are coming for them," he said with no worry or pressure at all. "Let's not keep them waiting."

In ten minutes they reached the area covered with defensive arrays. "Use your strongest attacks and let's see how long this array would last for," he said to the two before channeling his energy and releasing it in the form of a fountain of corrosive fire.

The two girls next to him also started to use their attacks, and the three started to hammer down the defensive array, trying to break it.

"It looks sturdy!" Tina complained after half an hour, and Arthur knew this wasn't a good sign for him. his mission wasn't to destroy the array, but to kill every single one inside it. from his position he could see tens of thousands of warriors forming their own defensive arrays as well!

"They are trying to support the arrays with their own!" Sara said, explaining their actions.

"Stalling for time?" Arthur muttered as he realized that more reinforcements would arrive. "To activate the destructive arrays they had," Sara said, and he didn't care to correct her mistake.

"Let's see then," he evilly smiled while stopping his attack, taking out one of the offensive arrays he got from inside the castle. "The arrow of destruction! How can you have such a monstrous array?!!" Sara suddenly exclaimed in shock and some tinge or terror the moment he took out the array. He glanced at her without saying a thing, as he didn't know what her reaction would be when she learnt about the huge pile of these inside his sky castle.

"Do you know how to use it?" he asked, as he had the array but didn't know how to activate it.

"Easy, you just put your blood on the array, and then use your fire to ignite it, before throwing the flags to the shield, just like the way of any offensive array in my world."

Her words expressed how basic these knowledge were, but he didn't know them. He wasn't from her world. He did as she said, dropped a blood over the largest central flag, and the moment he did the flag shone brightly before it controlled the other flags and runes to stick to it.

"Interesting," Arthur muttered before he channeled his energy and released it in a mighty fire wave.

Strange enough, the fire entered the flag and never exited it; like there was a black hole sucking all of his fire without leaving a single strand astray!

"It's ready," Sara said in an obvious envious tone. She didn't need to remind him of that, as the moment the array took enough of the fire, the runes and other flags started to melt and merge with the central flag, creating a huge spear made entirely out of fire; taking the same shape of the arrow Arthur saw drawn on the surface of the box.

"Let's see how strong you are," Arthur then stopped his fountain of fire, got hold of this spear, feeling nothing at all despite the scorching fire lurking in the shaft he was holding.

"Boom!"

The moment he threw it, he felt like a heavy pressure descended upon this piece of land, like the feeling when the eyes of the venerable master appeared each time he took a pillar.

And then there was silence, followed by a mushroom cloud of light, with a mighty repulsive wave of dust and rubble, before a mighty deafening sound of explosion erupted.

And a huge hole was presented in the arrays, extending deeply towards the ground, where a deep pit was formed in a large diameter, exterminating a huge number of warriors with their arrays.

"W… Wow!" Tina was speechless, stupefied by the mighty effect of this array, while Sara only marveled the scene she once experienced in her life, and that memory was never erased from her mind.

"We can do it," Arthur just smiled in content, as now the biggest hurdle against his task was successfully eliminated.. "Let's go, kill anyone you meet," he said before descending fast towards the ground, followed by a dragon and a winged tiger.
