Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

'I doubt this can be done easily,' Gege sighed, 'the expenditure rate of the pearl's energy is already taking out all my focus and energy.'

'What about my spiritual energy and dragonair one?' Arthur hurriedly asked as if this was true, then fighting continuously for one hour was just a dream.

'Ding! They are on a higher consumption rate than before,' the system answered after a moment of pause.

'How much increase?'

'Ding! At least three folds, even four.'

'Damn!'

Arthur ran the calculations fast in his mind, 'so I can only fight continuously for a quarter at top.'

'You can use your pills and meat,' the golden dragon suggested.

'Then I'll have to find time to make more,' Arthur sighed, 'I made them to aid me in training, not fighting.'

'At least you have enough to sustain you for days now.'

He knew the golden dragon was correct in his thinking, but he didn't want to fight only for days… he wanted to fight forever!

'Ding! No shortcut for power Arthur,' the system said, 'Ding! You need to raise up your energy levels… at least your spiritual one.'

'I have no other choice then,' he muttered while watching Amelia and Lily taking everyone else over birdy and soared to the sky. 'Let's test my technique here first.'

He changed his gaze to fall upon the incoming enemies. 'It's time to use my swift steps… it seems ages ago since the last time I used them.'

He didn't plan to unleash his strikes like he did inside his garden. After all he was sure just using one strike would deplete all of his energies.

And the gain was quite questionable.

"Let's see how well you'll do my baby," he muttered to his flickering sword in gold and blue in his right hand before moving instantly fast towards the front.

Despite his giant dragonair body, his moves looked nimble and fast. The moment he reached the first enemy, he felt his heart bounding restless inside his chest.

He was nervous about the effect of his new technique here.

His enemy was a giant bull like monster, with many curved horns over his head that seeing his face seemed impossible. The monster was running in great momentum when he noticed Arthur's intentions, yet Arthur managed to easily evade his charge with his steps.

"Swoosh!"

He simply cut the body of the monster with his sword, but there was no wound mark left there on his body. The sword moved unhindered, like cutting butter not strong skin and intense muscles.

Yet the next instant a coat of fire erupted around the monster, starting to rapidly consume it. the monster even didn't have time to scream, as the next moment he was turned into a pile of ash and the fire died down.

"Impressive," he couldn't help but remark in joy, "this way I can really be invincible!"

'You'll need to first hit the enemy,' the golden dragon warned.

"Fine by me," he sneered before turning his gaze upon the other monsters and mages around, "you forgot? I was a mighty swordsman before. Fighting close hands with swords and sparring neck to neck until I kill my enemies is my turf."

He didn't stop for a single second as he started jumping from one spot to another. His enemies tried everything to stop him, weapons, techniques, even tails and claws were used.

Yet he managed to evade most, and those landing on his body didn't leave a significant mark there.

But fighting ten thousands alone in such a way isn't practical. He knew his technique would only last for fifteen minutes at most, so every couple minutes he would consume a pill or two, chew a piece of meat before reaching his next target.

"How is the pearl's energy?" he suddenly asked when he was about to reach the fifteen minutes mark, "how long can you sustain it?"

'As long as you didn't increase the expenditure anymore then I can keep it running for as long as you need,' Gege said while he noticed some weariness in her voice.

"Alright," he jumped at another enemy before turning him into ash, "I'll depend on you for this. How about my other two energies?"

His hands were pretty much tied by the dense enemies around and the intense fight with them. So, he couldn't even take a single peep over his body to check over his two energies.

'Ding! They are in a safe zone for now,' the system said.

"Keep an eye over them for me, I can't make time to check them."

'Just focus over your fight kid and we'll get your back,' the golden dragon said.

'As if you do anything here old man,' Gege joked while the golden dragon only sneered and said nothing.

Arthur kept hitting and chasing his enemies until all of sudden another thing popped up that he never thought of… his stamina!

He was overusing his swift steps ability with no rest at all. For such ability he rarely used or honed, it was too much to use it in such a way.

"Damn!" he cursed the moment his steps failed him all of sudden. Luckily this didn't happen while an enemy was aiming for his neck. "I need to get some rest of it then," he glanced around and another idea popped up his mind.

'Crazy one,' Gege read his thoughts and realized his intentions at once.

"I have no other choice, right?" he sneered before laughing, "and it seems fun."

'What are you two talking about?' the golden dragon asked.

'You'll see,' Gege chuckled and didn't explain further.

Arthur glanced around before selecting a spot very dense with his enemies. "Let's try this on you," he suddenly arched his back and bent his wings. His face was pointed to the direction he selected, then he moved.

His wings flapped with the small jump he did, making him fly like a loose cannonball towards his enemies.

A bomb erupted in their faces, that was the simplest explanation to what happened there. He didn't take even half a second to reach them using his insane speed, and as he put the sword up front, anything he touched was cut by his sword and turned into ash.

And Arthur simply moved through burnt bodies of his enemies, not feeling much pressure except from the first impact only.

'Damn… that was cool kid,' the golden dragon laughed, 'you should've added a fire breath touch and this would've been epic!'
