Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur kept spraying out his fire aiding in the healing process. With time, those inside started to show up signs of healing, while those outside kept whispering from time to time.

In three hours, the heavily wounded stabilized and even were able to move around. As for those who were lightly wounded, they seemed to regain most of their strength.

Arthur stopped firing his breath and retreated, calmly watching those outside who previously announced their desire to leave in such a rude way.

"Are you going to stay or leave?" Mr. E calmly stood on top of his flying lion while asking those inside after coming out. He also glanced upon those who decided to leave.

"We'll stay," some announced, while the others kept their mouth shut.

"And the others?" Mr. E asked.

"We'll leave," those who were already fixed on leaving didn't change their minds.

"Good," Mr. E smiled before waving his hand and instantly all his pets were summoned. "Kill those traitors," he gave the order and in the next second a battle erupted between his pets and the ten of those decided to betray him.

"Master…" one of those who were wounded said in surprise, "they didn't betray you," he added, "they are only afraid of their lives."

"Afraid to fight the dark mages and clans?" Mr. E sneered before adding, "we aren't on a picnic here. Everyone knew exactly what we would face and the dangers we might welcome. Even I can't guarantee myself safety, yet I never thought of retreating or betray the academy."

"Stop it," one of those fighting and was now cornered shouted, "I'll stay and prove my loyalty."

"Nonsense," Mr. E said in a calm and domineering tone, "you only want a chance to trick me again and find a better way to betray me," he added while pointing leisurely towards them, "kill them all, don't leave anyone living behind."

Arthur watched all this unfolding with surprise and disbelief. "That man… he is really decisive," he muttered to himself.

'Ding! Don't forget he might be doing this for you.'

"For me?"

'Ding! Of course, aren't you his son-in-law?'

Arthur smiled and said nothing while he watched the last man falling under the attacks of the pets. "Those monsters… they are much stronger than my top monsters," he muttered.

'Ding! But your last dragons are way stronger than his,' the system said.

"Agreed," Arthur nodded, "but considering the disparity in numbers… tsk," he shook his head.

'Ding! In time you'll have much more than him.'

"I know that, but I have to wait for such a long time."

'Ding! Power doesn't come easily or fast, right?'

"Agreed," Arthur nodded.

"Now," Mr. E smiled as if he didn't kill nearly a dozen of his loyal followers just now, "we shall go to the next world."

"This way," Amanda led them all towards the distant portal where they entered it first while Arthur waited with his stick starting to activate it partially just in case.

"Nothing is inside," Cesile was the one to first come out to inform him, "be careful, some are discontent with Mr. E favoring you," she whispered and he nodded.

"It seems everyone knew about the real motive behind his actions," he said to himself while he entered inside and stopped activating the stick.

He stored it inside his garden and then went directly towards the pillar. "Go back and I'll catch you," he said and when they vanished he started to take the pillar.

Back there, the bodies of all those black masters were lying in wait for him to take. So when he retreated, he spent half an hour collecting their bodies, making his reserve of these escalate by hundreds.

"I have enough bodies to make four hundred grand dragons, hehehe," he was so excited, yet when he appeared at the star map he found everyone was speaking and the moment he appeared they stopped.

"What's going on?" he simply asked as he turned into a human.

"Nothing," Mr. E said, but one of the masters had the courage to speak up:

"It's about you," that slim master who used a couple of curved knives pointed towards him.

"Me?" Arthur pointed to himself acting innocent, "what about me?" he asked.

"You know," the man sneered, "those who died back there died just for nothing but to protect a weakling like you."

Arthur noticed that many gave him this underestimating glance, and he understood perfectly their logic.

"Sigh," yet he shook his head before adding, "do you think I'm too weak that much to lean upon my grandmaster to help?" he viciously smiled while glancing at the man in a defiant way. "What do you think? You and me, and no one interferes and let's see who will kill the other."

"Willy!!" Amanda shouted in obvious worry and fear, "he is a veteran master and a loyal one," she warned.

"Yet he is so blind to see the strength of mine," Arthur retorted back, refusing to budge, "look around you, who gave you the chance to crush those dark clans and mages? Who had attracted the eyes of those living in the higher realms than us? It's me!"

His tone and attitude showed how arrogant he was. "I appreciate your help, but that doesn't negate the fact that I'm strong. Asking for help isn't a trait of weaklings, but the wise."

His words landed upon everyone and coupled with his attitude they started to have another whisper among themselves.

"Nonsense," yet that slim master was dead fixed upon his hostile stand. "I agree on your foolish challenge. At least what you boy has will reside finally in the hands of capable men."

"Sorol!" Mr. E was the one to shout this time, but the slim master just bowed his head as he added, "everyone here is here for you, but that doesn't mean we have to respect such a rude disciple even if he was a genius."

"Let me teach them a lesson first," Arthur stopped Mr. E from reprimanding that master as he turned to glance at everyone, "is there anyone else who has doubts regarding me?"
