Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 536 - Fighting A Lycan



'If you were affected by the bell, you would be taken inside an illusion where whatever you will suffer will linger in your mind and soul forever. Some even had the curse of being dragged in that illusion every once in a while.'

Arthur didn't expect things to be this bad. He glanced vigilantly at the bell while the system said:

'Ding! I think you can use Gege's garden to stand against this attack.'

'I can't defend against it all alone,' Gege said before adding, 'but there is one sort of energy inside your body which can help in defending.'

'The pearl?' Arthur asked.

'No, the dantian up there in your head,' Gege said.

Arthur knew what she was referring to, but he had no time to test out her theory. 'Are you sure?' he asked.

'It has much purer soul based energy. After breaking through the nascent soul stage, this became your strongest defense.'

He nodded and didn't hesitate to instigate his spiritual energy and start circulating it. he started to concentrate everything over his dantian, while watching that cloaked youth holding a long stick and started to hit the golden bell with it.

The moment the bell rang, even the youth seemed to be affected and swayed his body a little in response. "At least you didn't yet control this thing," Arthur sneered before being hit by the sound waves of the bell.

"Such strong words from a dead man," the youth laughed while stabilizing himself, "first live through it then mock me."

Arthur was hit massively by the waves. Each single wave felt like someone had taken his soul and threw it deeply inside a bottomless ocean.

Yet the moment he was hit, his mind dantian shone brighter while his energy there started to cleanse his body and soul from any effects of this bell.

"Is this what you called a mighty attack? It's like an insect bite to me," Arthur opened his eyes and said in a loud laugh while watching his enemy's body tremble.

He couldn't see the face of that youth, but he knew he must be shocked at the moment.

"How can this be possible!" the youth shouted in disbelief before the next moment he started hitting the bell strongly without pause.

Arthur was hit by the waves, but he now was much reassured about not being affected anymore or cursed. So he started to walk steadily towards the youth.

The youth had it worse than him, being affected clearly with each strike by the bell. "I want that bell," Arthur declared while moving towards the youth, "if you give it up voluntarily then I won't kill you. If not, then I will get it from your corpse."

"Keep dreaming traitor," the youth finally revealed his true colors, calling Arthur the same nickname his enemies of dark clans usually used.

Yet Arthur moved simply towards him while taking out his sword. Each hit on the bell caused more damage to the youth than for Arthur who seemed totally unfazed by it.

"What the hell…?" Just as Arthur was so close to hitting the youth, the youth suddenly had his body twitched and he shouted in extreme pain before he fell on the ground motionless and the bell was gone.

'Track the bell, don't let it leave your senses,' Arthur hurriedly said for the voices in his mind.

'Ding! It went to one of the towers,' the system said after a few moments of silence.

'I sensed the bell energy and can tell if this energy is nearby at any time,' Gege said.

'This aura… it's the same as that lycan rude kid from before,' the golden dragon muttered.

'Do you mean Ralin?'

'Can't recall such a weakling's name,' the golden dragon sneered and Arthur just rolled up his eyes. 

'But this means the academy guardian is directly involved in this,' Arthur thought while seriously seeing the bright matter in this discovery. 'Only one out of the remaining four is collaborated with the lycans.'

'One out of four isn't high percentage,' the golden dragon said, 'but guessing it wrongly will cause severe consequences, so don't be tempted with such statistical result which life doesn't give sh*t about.'

'Oh, why are you being pumped up all of sudden?' Arthur inwardly sneered while waving his sword high in the air, waiting for the next opponent.

'I hate math!'

'…'

Arthur didn't know what to say. He just moved his gaze upon the next opponent, who seemed to be so confident in himself like the previous one.

"I bet you have a smug smile over your face," Arthur said while cracking a faint smile, "but I hate to play with weaklings like you. Can you go back and send me your strongest? I didn't even warm my body in the last fight."

"Hahaha, you are so full of yourself being lucky to defend against soul attacks," the youth yelled back while the next moment he waved both hands and two big curved swords linked with long chains appeared while he started to move them in circles.

The swords hit the ground, leaving deep grooves there while the youth moved like he was holding a stick of wood in hand. Arthur glanced at him while muttering: 

"Using direct flight to settle this? Just my type."

"I can wait to erase this irritating smile over your face," the youth shouted with a short laugh, "it's time for you to die."

The next instant the youth vanished and appeared just above Arthur's head. Arthur simply used his steps to evade, circle around the youth and his two strong swords, and then moved to hit him from behind.

But the youth seemed to be aware of his moves as he vanished the next instant then appearing behind Arthur with his swords aiming for Arthur's head.

"Tsk, you move fast," Arthur simply evaded while thinking about using one of his strong techniques to kill him.

'He doesn't worth using such an attack to kill a fly,' the golden dragon sneered before adding, 'just use your weakest strike… that bull's horn or something.'

'The bull horn strike?' Arthur muttered before nodding, 'it's the weakest of my techniques. Let's see if it will kill him.'

Arthur kept jumping around but he refrained from attacking for a minute. 

"What's wrong mighty dragonair? Weren't you supposed to kill me? Hahaha!"

Arthur ignored him while focusing his spiritual energy around the two nodes in his shoulders. 'The bull horn strike needs both arms to move in strong momentum, charging at once with the maximum force from the start,' Arthur muttered to himself before simply feeling content with the level of energy inside his nodes.

He could raise the energy there more, but he didn't think that weakling needed more than that.

"Die," Arthur simply evaded another attack before he held his sword with both hands and the next instant he slashed it strongly towards the enemy's chest and torso.

Arthur simply waved his sword once, but the force coming forth from the tip of his sword seemed endless for a few seconds. It created a large horn shadow that was casted upon the cloaked youth and instantly devoured him.

The youth tried to evade per usual but the strike kept tracking him like its shadow. Finally he was consumed by the strike, leaving only a burnt corpse behind.

"Next!"

Arthur simply declared and the opponent never stopped sending off his members but they changed their strategy.

They sent one close range fighter one time after another, and this managed to attract Arthur's attention. 'Are they trying to exhaust me?' he thought before he glanced over the less than forty remaining enemies up front.

'They are mistaken if they thought your energy can be depleted this way,' the golden dragon laughed.

'But your spiritual energy is stressed for so long now, you need to replace it or else it will be hard to use it for stronger attacks later,' Gege warned.

'Thanks, I know this already,' Arthur smiled before taking out a replenishing pill and consumed it, 'so I can now fight for another round without worries, right?'

Arthur kept fighting and killing everyone they sent. He was challenged by weapons, techniques, abilities, arrays, illusions, and even spells. No matter what they sent at him, he managed to dispel, defend, or evade before using his sword and kill the enemies using his bull horn strike.

This scene kept repeating over and over again until finally there were only three members left.

"So you are the final bosses of these minions?" he said with high spirit while pointing his sword at them, "send me any of you three, and I'll smash him like I smashed everyone."

The three didn't speak as they suddenly moved in unison, heading towards him. "Oh, you plan to fight me three on one? Is this even allowed?"

He turned to the lead master who had long lost hope in defeating him in this contest. "The three are one person with three bodies," the master said while his eyes shone slightly as he thought there might be a chance to kill him here.

"Three?" Arthur turned to glance at the three coming at him, "as one person?" he tried to see the trick here but he couldn't.

'What is going on?' he asked.

'It's the lycan special ability,' the golden dragon sneered, 'this man isn't from here, he is from a higher plane, the plane of lycans.'

Arthur was speechless for a second before asking, 'Can I kill him?'

'His energy isn't that high,' the golden dragon said, 'but he isn't the usual foe for you.'

'Ding! You should object on this.'

'And if he does, who will listen to his whining?' The golden dragon said, 'Besides this is a good opportunity for him to have a taste of the power of those high up.'

'So I should try to fight three on one now?' Arthur sighed before adding, 'and against such three coming from higher planes?'

The golden dragon ignored his questions as he said, 'I want you to closely inspect the three, have you seen the lag?'

Arthur glanced again at the three before muttering to himself, 'What lag?'

'Ding! There is a fraction of minute lag in the three movements,' the system said, trying to help.

'Your meaning?' Arthur still couldn't get their meaning.

'It's one soul jumping between the three bodies at the same time,' Gege finally said it, 'if you managed to take him inside, I can easily trap his soul and leave the three bodies dead the way they truly are.'
