Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair
Chapter 279 - Ambush In Sight, Arthur Needs To Prepare!During all this, his appearance was sudden, without any warning, first sealing the portal to the Dorfis clan headquarter, before heading fast towards the pillar.
Things seemed quite easy, and taking a single pillar didn't require more than a day. "At this rate, we should be able to get all the pillars in a couple days," Tina laughed wholeheartedly as she was the one enjoying the most of this new plan.
However Arthur and Sara didn't feel the same enthusiasm and optimism like her. Sara knew how tough and hard the Dorfis clan and dark clans in this world were, while Arthur was pretty sure that what he did towards the Dorfis headquarter wouldn't be tolerated easily by them.
And that feeling of stepping onto a hard to escape from trap was growing in himself with each passing star he took.
The central cluster had around thirty stars, with the remaining thirty clustered around those forts of the Dorfis clan. Through the remaining stars of the central region, he met no single resistance at all.
For Tina this was a hilarious matter to laugh on, for Sara this was strange, and disturbing.
However for Arthur this was bad news, a very bad news.
"They are conserving their strengths," he muttered as this was the worst case scenario he would face.
How would you eat up an elephant? One bite at a time, but what if the elephant faced you head on, could you eat it? could you even survive facing it?
That what he was facing right now, experiencing the feeling of the net tightened around him, and the cold tough touch of the rope closing up over his neck; and this wasn't a pleasant feeling at all!
"I need to prepare, I can't go on like this without any preparations!" This was what he decided to do at the last star of the central cluster.
What he had in mind, not his warriors stored inside his heavenly garden, but the blueprint that venerable bronzed giant master left for him to craft; the arrow he was bestowed upon as a weapon to trigger the pillar.
He never thought of truly making this weapon now, as he wanted to use the pillars in the future to guard the entire territory of his empire, but currently he was forced to do that.
He just stepped outside the portal, entered the warehouse, but he stopped, didn't move forward as usual, making the two girls eye him in suspicion.
"You two go and have some fun, I have things here to do first," he said, with a distracted mind as the next moment he sat on the ground, closed his eyes, and started delving inside his heavenly garden.
He was looking for the pillar where the venerable master left him a drawing on the ground. He once saw it, but he needed to carefully study it now.
What he recalled from before was that this arrow would require the light energy, the bloodline of the bronzed giants. He had the blood, but about the light energy, he might have a clue about it.
He was now standing on top of the pillar, one of the earliest to add here, but it was still dark; not yet purified. Arthur glanced at the forest around it to see that most of the forest was purified successfully, so the pillar would require a couple of days to be purified.
He then shifted his gaze towards the drawing on the ground.
The instructions were drawn clearly in steps to make. He needed some materials, refined them on different steps, before finally assembling all together.
What he noticed, and was clearly stated, was that each step must include part of the bloodline of the bronzed giants and a wisp of light energy.
"How can I take a wisp of the light energy then?" he muttered as he scanned the drawing many times already with no clue so far. He thought of using the energy of the garden, but the question was how to harvest the energy? Was there a mean for that?
"I need to ask the master then," he muttered as he opened his eyes to find the two girls were standing on each side, protecting him. "You didn't leave?" he asked, as this scene reminded him of the old, yet still fresh in his mind, his dharma protectors, who used to protect him while he was secluded in cultivation.
"We thought it would be best to stay and protect you," Tina said, as she glanced at Sara as she added, "this was her idea actually, hate to admit it but I agreed on her opinion this time."
Arthur just smiled before he stood up, turned into a dragon the next moment, as he said:
"I will attack the pillar, come with me."
He went towards the pillar, with the two girls in his company. The fight wasn't surprising at all, and after killing everyone there, the pillar shook and rumbled, and the venerable master appeared once more with his two giant eyes that were enough to freeze everything.
"Master, I want to ask about something," Arthur once regained his freedom and hurried to speak as the master started to leave here the moment he appeared.
"You have a question or a problem?" the master asked with some interest.
"Both," Arthur replied, "I know for sure I'm heading for a trap set by my enemies, a trap my meager strength and few numbers wouldn't suffice to conquer. So I want to make that arrow bestow its blueprint upon me."
"You want to know how to harvest the light energy, right?" the master asked, not waiting for Arthur to continue his words.
And Arthur just nodded without adding any words.
"It's easy, as it seems you have a light based treasure, am I correct?"
"Yes master."
"So it's simple, all you need is to use a vassal to shift the energy from this treasure to the materials you use in the manufacture."
"A vassal?" Arthur asked, "like what?"
"Like the pillars you are collecting like candies," the master replied with a simple laugh, before adding when he noticed the puzzled expression over Arthur's face, "from the expression of your face the pillars are still not purified yet.
But that's not a problem, you can forcibly use the pillars by going to anyone and use a drop of blood over the pillar, then you can control it to filter the light energy you want."
Arthur nodded, as he realized what he had to do. "Thanks master, but won't that affect the pillar?" he expressed his own concerns.
"Nothing in this world can harm the pillars, so don't worry. The worst it will take more time for it to be purified, not an issue as you own so many pillars so far."
"Thanks for your teachings, master," Arthur cupped his hands and slightly bowed his head, saluting the master who just laughed, vanished without saying anymore.
As for Arthur, he knew what he had to do.
The moment he appeared in front of the girls, he didn't move a muscle, sat on the dying black star as he said: "Stand in guard, and don't disturb me."
