Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

"So you know the location of only twenty-five groups?" Arthur asked while those standing in front of him nodded. "Great, take these papers and draw to me the directions they went from the city."

He took out enough papers before waiting for roughly ten minutes to get his hands over twenty-five repeated maps.

'Scan them and make sure you make a single map containing everything,' he said to his system.

'Ding! I have created the map you need.'

'Good, control my hands then and guide me to draw it.'

Arthur held a brush and a large piece of paper where he started drawing a big map. After he finished he found a map with twenty-five directions.

"Good, you can go in now," he just waved his hand over their heads and everyone vanished from his sight. "Now all I have to do is to copy this map and send them to everyone."

He started drawing this map over and over again while he handed each finished one to one dragon and let him go towards one of his teams to deliver.

"I hope we won't be too late," he muttered as he collected everything and Gege took in everyone here, "it's time for me to head towards the next point."

He knew that ruining twenty-five points out of thirty-six wasn't enough. He needed to ruin an additional couple of points as well. 'Keep scanning the area, and try to come up with the approximate distance they crossed so far,' he said as he flew towards the east hoping to find a group outside of this map.

He met five groups alone where he kept killing most of them and interrogated the survivors. Learned his lessons from the first group he made sure to not gather up everyone at the end, and this led to increasing the number of survivors to reach fifty at least.

"One more group is revealed, I need another one to be reassured," he muttered to himself while adding the new group path revealed by the last team he crushed into his grand map. "I should head for that one then," he decided before the golden dragon suddenly said:

'From these points you can roughly draw the three diagrams and find the other hidden ones.'

'Great idea,' Arthur laughed before he added, 'try to make up with a rough drawing of these arrays then.'

'I'll tell them to the system.'

'Works for me.'

Arthur waited for a couple of minutes before he felt his hands move again to draw things over the giant map in front of him. Rapidly the map was completed and the assumed locations of the other points were determined over the map.

"There is something wrong here," he muttered to himself while glancing again over the map. "What do these two points stand for?"

In front of him three diagrams were formed but there were also two paths he learnt from the people surrendered to him before with no relation at all to the diagrams.

'I… dunno about them actually,' the golden dragon said, 'it might be a mistake or some decoy sent to distract you.'

'Ding! I agree with the golden dragon's view. This new enemy of yours is really cunning.'

Arthur glanced over the map again before saying what he was thinking about. "I'll go to these new points and also will go and try to get more intel from these two groups."

He changed his flying direction towards the other points his golden dragon discovered. In less than two hours he met the first group, and that was a simple confirmation over the golden dragon's assumptions to be valid.

"Great, we got another story about these two mysterious groups as well," Arthur didn't let down, interrogating some of this group and from what he heard he was totally focused on these two groups.

"I need to go and check them now," he muttered.

'But you'll lose much time doing this,' Gege said, 'at least move according to the map and one of the two groups can be met in six hours.'

'She is right,' the golden dragon said.

"I know," Arthur sighed, "I just wanted to know what they are doing."

'Ding! They are decoys,' the system said, 'Ding! And their purpose is to cause the exact confusion and restlessness you are feeling right now.'

"But there is a possibility they are up to something else."

'Two groups?' the golden dragon sneered, 'what two groups can actually create? I doubt they are able even to cause you any harm.'

"Sigh, I hope you are right," Arthur started to fly out again towards the next point, then the next. He kept interrogating the survivors and all of them agreed on the same path of the two groups.

And finally it was the turn of the first group.

The moment he moved towards them he was so anxious to reach there. Just as he saw the group from far he was so impatient to call out for every dragon he had before attacking the group.

"This time keep as much alive as possible out of them," he ordered and his werewolf and dragons just followed his orders.

In no time the group was devastated by his small army. His arrows took many of their lives but in the end he managed to keep two hundred alive.

"C'mon, tell me everything you know," he demanded and they started speaking.

"The same bulls*t," he was enraged as he didn't get any useful intel from them. Everything they said was already known by him, and about the purpose of their group they just said different stories.

Some said they came here just to walk into that direction without stop. Others said something about the presence of a hidden agenda for this group, but they didn't know what it was.

Arthur stood there in front of the emptiness thinking about what he just heard. He just took in everyone as promised yet his mind and soul didn't feel any much better.

'See? This what I was talking about,' the golden dragon suddenly said.

"What do you mean by that?"
