Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

"The lycan team has surrendered," the dean suddenly said and his words caused quite an uproar amidst the audience down below.

"and all the other teams who were supposed to challenge team twelve has surrendered as well. Now the final five teams are ready and we can commence the final test."

The dean waited while the audience turned from the loud uproar to a deafening silence. These sudden changes meant only one thing; a big thing was about to happen.

And Arthur knew what this big thing was.

"The final test will be conducted in a pocket world the lycan esteemed master bestowed upon us. All the five teams will be sent inside and have only one mission; to thrive."

The dean then glanced at Arthur while his face showed how much amused he was. After all the hustle that happened, Arthur finally was about to fall in their trap.

"Each team will land inside a very weak academy. The mission given to them is to help the academy control that world, and in one month time here, one year there they had to either control the entire world or be the strongest force at the end of the test."

The dean then sneered before taking out one ring of his hand as he added, "all the rings are forbidden to be taken there. Only things participants can hold on their bodies are allowed to go with them inside that world…" he paused as he glanced over Arthur as he added, "that's for fairness of the competition of course."

Arthur inwardly sneered but he faked the look of panic over his face when he heard these words. For him, this was something he long anticipated and prepared much for.

'Have you finished sealing them?' he muttered.

'Everything is in place,' the golden dragon laughed, 'only those knowing my lost golden dragon's old tongue might have a chance to crack the seal in a short time.'

'And the special ring?'

'It's done in the weaker form of a seal as requested.'

'Great,' Arthur was now feeling more confident in his chances to win this trial. 'Gege, send someone to the city world, let Tina and Sara come inside you now.'

'Now?'

'Now!'

Arthur suddenly had this thought once he heard the conditions of this trial. 'You are trying to make me taste the same bitter cup I made those dark clans taste before, hahaha.'

He laughed on their naivety, thinking he would be this vulnerable and weak.

"All teams shall come to the arena now. A portal will appear here to transport everyone to the lands of the trial," the dean said before pointing towards the same mountain Dolan mentioned before, "the world lies in the body of that giant mountain, which acts as the main gate for the pocket world. It will stay there in front of everyone's eyes to maintain the fairness of the competition."

Arthur only stayed motionless in his place while his mind was speculating every possible dark scenario he would face when getting inside the world.

'I think they will send a giant army to kill you once reached there,' the golden dragon sighed, 'you should be ready for a full out war.'

'If these are just normal mages then there is no threat at all,' Arthur muttered, 'but if I faced those assassins from higher realms, then things would get ugly.'

'Ding! You have your master's pillar and your array.'

'Don't forget Doaf and others as well.'

Arthur heard the opinions of his system and golden dragon without commenting. His mind was filled with many scenarios where the highest danger came from the two questionable forces by far.

'Gege, I want you to seclude the four forces to stay away from each other.'

'I've already done this.'

'Good,' Arthur muttered before adding, 'inform Doaf then to be ready. Also inform those belonging to the golden raven and silver cauldron clans to be ready.'

'Alright.'

'What about Tina and Sara?' he asked while turning towards the edge of the arena as his team was ascending the stairs and getting over it.

'I've sent someone to the city world, I believe they will be back in a short time.'

'I need them to come before entering the world,' he said before adding, 'I'm pretty sure we won't be able to contact anything outside once entering that world.'

'Will send another one to make them haste in return.'

'Good.'

Arthur then waited before his team arrived beside him. Their faces told him everything, as they all felt something bad was about to happen.

"How can we deal with this?" Amelia simply asked while everyone had their focus on him.

"Just give everything we have to them," Arthur shrugged before adding, "and be ready for a full out war."

"This… are you sure?" She seemed hesitant but his calm smile made her and everyone around be sure their leader had other plans in motion already.

"Deliver your rings to the masters at the arena," the dean said before he took out a ball and threw it towards the center of the arena. The ball fell fast, and it gor enlarged while getting closer to the arena until a gigantic whirlpool of darkness appeared.

"Strange," Arthur muttered as he suddenly felt some sort of familiarity with this ball.

"What?" Amelia asked while gazing upon the gate in the distance, "I don't have good feelings about this."

The masters suddenly appeared forming a long line between the five teams and the portal. Arthur noticed that three of these teams belonged to the academy and only his and another team seemed to be from outside.

"Do you recognize them?" Arthur motioned to the fifth team without moving any step towards the portal unlike other teams.

"They use strange fog attacks and techniques," Deem said before adding, "I think they might be a dark clan member."

Arthur noted that as he glanced over the one hundred members in that team as they wore brown cloaks and moved towards the portal.
