Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur's laugh was out of place, but no one said anything about him. Arthur clasped his hand, firmly, on this ring. This ring wasn't that high to his old world's standard, it was, honestly, a mediocre ring.

However, this ring with this vast space was considered a gem in his eyes. He could now wander around the forest without the fear of letting anything valuable behind. His eyes shone, greedily, as his nature as a cultivator started to sprout out, as he eyes everything around him as a treasure he could snatch and store into his ring.

"Is everything alright?" Madly, hesitantly asked, as she knew how bizarre her grandpa would be when he finished making a masterpiece, or failed it big sometimes.

"Sure," he said, "the ring is a success, and now we can fasten things up," he added, in a great excitation.

"Fasten things? Weren't we doing that already?" Lily asked, not believing what Arthur just said.

"No, no," Arthur shook his head, "we were moving slowly like a snail," he added. He was right, as he knew if he was moving fast, then things would proceed quite differently. For example, he could start a fire into the ring, control the meat inside to be grilled there for hours without any need to cook them outside.

He could now move a great amount of fertile earth into the ring, and move the useful plants and herbs there for any time he wanted to use them for seasoning.

He could now store monsters for later time, when they would be resting after killing as many monsters as they desired.

The odds were infinite in his opinion, and all of them worked, marvelously, to accelerate his work here. the two girls beside him didn't understand his meaning, but they never asked him about it.

They already knew if he planned something, they would figure it out soon.

"Go on Birdy's back now," he suddenly said, as it was time for this precious heavenly treasure to rest inside his ring. He eyed all these eggs in greed, they would form a very good source of pets and meat for the future plans he had in mind.

The girls didn't hesitate to do as he asked, while he waited for them to reach high in the sky, before he wore the ring for the first time. it was cold, extremely cold, but this coolness was something he yearned for.

He then put his hand over the carcass of this dead monster, and thought of moving it inside his ring. Miraculously, the huge body of this monster vanished, alongside the rock and eggs. The place seemed suddenly empty, and he was about to fall inside the gap created by the absence of that monster, but he used his leg technique so he could reach the nearby land.

He waved for the two stupefied girls to go down and pick him up. Possessed by the sort of magic he just did, they moved Birdy down, took him over its back, before heading back towards the camp, with shock still lingering over their faces.

He noticed their weird reaction, but said nothing. He just chuckled, as he knew the more they got to know him, the more wonders they would see. When the three reached the camp, he didn't speak to anyone, before moving on a rapid tour, touching everything and taking them into his ring.

His magical touch left everyone awed, with their mouths agape from pure shock they were experiencing. After he finished taking everything, the fire included, he took a moment to arrange things inside his ring a bit. He was the master of this ring, and so he could control everything inside, including the fire temperature and the slow rotating movement of the meat over the fire.

Once finished, he noticed their funny reaction, and couldn't help himself to laugh at them.

"C'mon, it's not the first time you see me doing magic," he commented, with a chuckle.

"Sure," Ron was the first to swallow his shock, "but this was the first time to see actual magic. What just happened?" he asked, trying to find a logic explanation to all this. "Where are our meat and fire pits?"

"They are all inside this magical ring," Arthur said, pointing to the ring in his hand.

"So, this magic came from this ring, what is the ring name then?" Madly sighed as she was a blacksmith herself but she was oblivious to the existence of such a ring.

"It's called a storage ring, as it can store anything I touch," Arthur said, trying to explain the function of this ring.

"Can you make others for us?" Lily asked, as she was now very excited about such a ring.

"Sure, but not now," Arthur said, as the requirements of making such a ring was exhausting on him right now. He still felt some exhaustion after pouring his energy into this ring. "We need to be ready for another fight soon," he suddenly added, reminding them of the three monsters he wanted to slay.

"Are we going to kill them now?" Tarry asked.

"No," Arthur shook his head, "we will start killing other monsters outside here, then leave them for tomorrow," he added. He wanted to kill the three now, but he tried to summon the queen of pythons, however he got no response from her.

So, he had to wait, until she would be awakened. He knew she was now evolving, and just picturing a full dragon under his control was a thrilling idea, especially in such a weak world he was at.

"What about this place?" Ouly asked, "We can't just leave it undefended like this."

"Don't worry about it, as long as the three monsters exist, no other monster would dare to set foot here," Arthur said, reassuring everyone, "now, let's go on a long wild ride, which we will keep killing monsters without any rest," he added, as he already had a plan formulated inside his mind.

"Where are we going now?" Madly asked, as she was excited about trying the new power of her new pet here.

"We will all ride on Birdy' back," Arthur announced, as now they weren't burdened by anything. They exchanged silent glances, before recalling their summons, and then they all started to board Birdy's back.

The overweight of all of them on Birdy's back made it unable to fly high enough like usual, but its speed was the same. So, in less than one hour, they crossed a huge stretch of the forest, and started seeing different kinds of monsters on the ground.

"This is a good spot for the hunting feast we are going to have," Arthur said, as he pointed towards a slightly elevated hill. It wasn't that huge, but it was high enough to oversee a great stretch of the forest underneath it. The most prominent feature of it was the lack of trees on its body, with only long weeds there and some scattered trees.

"Land us there," Arthur said, in a decisive happy tone. He intended to play it big this time, as he wanted to have resources that would last them for a long time. He also wanted to make each of his friends here have another pet, as this would be huge on their future prowess.

Landing there, everyone was restless, until Arthur ordered:

"Go and cut trees as we did before."

He took out Don, and everyone else took out their summons. Once all the monsters were assembled, everyone felt how strong this little group of them had really become.

He watched the monsters, guided by their masters, working in admiring synchronicity with his Don. Don was the physically strongest amongst them, so it took the task of taking trees down. As for moving them, the pythons did the trick. In less than half an hour, long and many trees lined around Arthur, while the whole body of this hill was now bare from any tree that would block the sight.

"Let's shape the trees as we did before. Don, you will dig the land, with the help of other monsters as well."

Suddenly the place turned into a beehive, as everyone, Arthur included, were processing the trees, while the monsters were digging the land, with Don acting as their senior. The task in hand didn't take an hour, and another copy of their post was formed in front of their eyes.

Arthur stood there, as his mind was seeing the terrain around here in a different vision. The whole forest was shaking with herds of monsters, and the whole hill was literally filled with killed and severely wounded monsters of different kinds.

"We need to make spears, wooden spears like before," he said, before he thought of another matter, "Lily, come with me."

Lily didn't know what was going on in his mind, but she, obediently, like a good girl followed him, rode on the back of her Birdy, and went into a certain direction.. After an hour, Arthur came back with her, with a big smile over his face.
