Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 779 - The Scorching Land Lethal Array!



The golden dragon knew he deserved this treatment but he also knew he did what he did to help him. He was so familiar with that technique and so he didn\'t feel any regret about not teaching it to him so far.

As for Arthur, his path to the front was much easier than he thought. The sudden appearance of Amera and her forces crushed anything in their path.

Arthur only had to fly casually while attacking a few mages from time to time. And even when he did that he got help from the nearby mages of Amera.

The narrow paths they had to cross weren\'t an advantage to their enemies anymore. Right now his allied forces were filling these paths, and that made them able to handle the enemies with much ease.

"You know I never thought you were telling the truth," Amera appeared all of sudden to fly by his side.

"About what?" he acted ignorant at this moment while he knew exactly what she was referring to.

"The tower," she gave him an interesting look, "it looks much different than the towers I saw before. Plus there is an array surrounding it, something that normal towers don\'t have."

"I told you already," he wasn\'t that much interested in her declaration of defeat, even in such a subtle way, "this tower is different."

"I can see that now," she nodded yet her look didn\'t change, "but what I found peculiar is for someone like you who came from a lower realm to know such a thing we in the highest realm don\'t know at all... Don\'t you find it... a bit strange?"

Arthur knew where this talk was heading to, and frankly he had his own shares of troubles already to care about. So he looked her in the eye and simply grinned.

"\'Is it bad for you to appreciate my help?"

Amera gave him a skeptical look but Arthur didn\'t mind that. If that look was all he needed to get away from this tricky question then he wouldn\'t mind it.

"Let\'s go," he started to accelerate, "the tough fight didn\'t start yet."

She paused for a moment before following him. She wanted to trap him and pin him to the ground. She had many questions to ask, especially when she was considering a big decision that would change her life.

But she decided to put that all on hold for now and see what things would turn up at the end. "Why are you in such a hurry?" she asked and he only pointed to the tower.

"If you were them, would you leave your best card unguarded like that?" he simply said and his words made her nod in agreement.

"There are traps out there, right?"

"Or hidden enemies," he shrugged, "or some nasty creature is lying for ambush... who knows? But we need to get there fast and secure it."

She understood his point. "I can ask my mages to replace those supporting the array," she said and that made him nod in satisfaction.

"Sounds like a plan," he said before returning to his silence. He didn\'t want to say anything to her at this moment to avoid any unneeded questions that he couldn\'t answer.

As he predicted, once the front mages got so close to that crack in the ground, a giant dome appeared to shelter those inside off those coming at them.

"Damn!" Amera stopped abruptly before she grabbed his arm in a violent way, "retreat... It\'s the scorching land array... Retreat!"

Her words puzzled Arthur along with her sudden action, yet he didn\'t object. He sensed the urgeness in her voice, which made him uneasy.

"What\'s that array?" he hurriedly asked while being dragged by force after her.

"You know about that tower and don\'t know about the array? Unbelievable!" she only said that before adding, "we have less than ten seconds I guess."

"For what?"

"You\'ll see," she kept her knowledge to herself, yet the answer came to him from the golden dragon.

\'It\'s a nasty array,\' the golden dragon said, \'it\'s like an ambush. What makes it very annoying is the fact it needs a short span of time to be activated and its area of coverage is very wide.\'

Arthur turned his head back to where that dome was. At first the dome seemed semi-translucent, yet now it was flickering with flashes of black arcs.

"Is it... going to explode or something?" Arthur couldn\'t help but ask, however the answer came to him instantly after he said those words.

"Boom!"

The world suddenly rumbled by an extremely loud explosion. Arthur instantly turned his head towards the direction it came from.

"The... Tower..." he couldn\'t help but mutter in deep shock.

Amera grabbed him and dragged him after her while shouting, "it\'s not the tower... It\'s the array. Retreat... Retreat fast!" she shouted again in a hysterical way.

However despite her earlier warning shouts, few got entangled within what came next.

Arthur didn\'t move his eyes off the direction of that explosion. The next moment a ray of light beamed into the sky before a wave of energy suddenly burst.

It was like darkness descended over the world. The black light landed over everything around, hasty covering the ground with an intimidating veil of darkness.

And that made Arthur widen up his eyes while watching that energy pulse drawing fast towards the two of them.

"Let me go," he hurriedly freed himself from her grip before he flipped his wings and took a half circle around himself.

Then he darted as fast as he could.

They weren\'t the only ones running, but many of Amera\'s mages were racing after them.

"Take everyone back," Arthur didn\'t let his anxiousness cloud his mind. He let a large number of mechas out, and like this the portal along with the mechas around would be perished.

And so he didn\'t hesitate to issue this order before adding, "if they can\'t, let them fly as fast as they can."

\'Got it,\' Gege knew the situation was so dire so she didn\'t speak any useless words. Arthur kept checking over that energy pulse drawing fast towards him.

"Stop looking back," Amera shouted, "the distance that thing can cover is about to end soon. Just push forward, don\'t mind anything else.

"..."

Just as he was about to follow her words he noticed some of the mages went astray. After all, their retreat path wasn\'t straight.

So some ditched their safety and started to fly into places filled with traps.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

And like doomsday, the entire world kept tumbling around him while many screams of pain echoed for brief moments.

Then they got swallowed with that energy wave, which made them all die.
