Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 759 - A Mysterious Thing In The Pond

It didn't pass for more than five minutes before Gege came with a distressed tone. 'Few groups got separated from the main army attacking Doaf and Amera,' she said without any warning.

"Oh, they are trying to wipe us out," Arthur thought for a moment, "how long before they arrive?"

​​

'Ten minutes.'

"And their numbers?"

'Six groups.'

"That's big," Arthur thought for a moment before adding, "alarm Nara, make her ready to retreat in five."

'Ok.'

'Ding! Will you stay here?' The system asked.

"Any brilliant options?"

'You know they can crack open the portal,' the golden dragon said.

"So I have to run away," Arthur took a deep breath before adding, "Gege, run a scan for me. Is there any place I can hide without being noticed?"

'Let me check,' she said while Arthur waited for a couple more minutes before she came back, 'there are a couple of hills with a small pond in between. The place isn't far from us or from Doaf and Amera.'

"That will do," Arthur clapped his hands, "tell Nara to be ready to retreat."

'And you?' the golden dragon asked.

"I'll go out," Arthur then passed through the portal it took him in before. The next moment the entire world changed and sounds of brutal fighting and painful screams echoed all over the place.

"Time to run," he didn't let go of his guard while flying away. Despite all the chaos around, his sudden appearance wasn't met with any resistance at all.

After all everyone was entangled already with his or her foes. He simply passed over the territory of fight while landing a couple of swords over some targets on his path out.

"They look very pissed off," Arthur noticed some of the giant lycans turned around and started to fly towards him.

'Ding! You need to get out of their sight,' the system warned.

"Yeah, time to go full speed then," Arthur started to fly seriously and then his speed suddenly accelerated in a way that took his enemies by surprise.

"Tell Nara to rapidly get inside," he hurriedly said, "once I reach these hills I will vanish inside the portal and their escape route will be gone."

'I warned her and your werewolf group,' Gege said, 'but it seems she wanted to stay back and fight.'

"What?" Arthur turned to see Nara leading her mechas around with the help of the werewolf and his smaller gang. "Is she out of her mind?"

'She isn't alone in this,' Gege said, 'also your werewolf and his group won't retreat.'

"Why?" Arthur could see any logic in what they were doing.

'They wanted to fight,' the golden dragon said, 'even if they will lose many, the survivors will gain priceless experience.'

"…"

Arthur could only turn his eyes away and pray the losses wouldn't be so massive. He had such a large number of mechas with difficulty.

If he was back in any lower world, then using such a force would be tyrannical against any force.

But here… Things didn't seem that good to them or him.

'One minute to these hills,' Gege reminded him while he was moving like a rocket. His pursuers accelerated their speed as well, however they reacted a bit late and that helped him in creating enough gap.

The hills up front seemed a bit different than the ones he saw before. They were slightly bigger and taller, and he could see the sparkling dots of light reflecting on the water of the pond in between.

'You need to hide from their sight, so falling from above would easily pinpoint your location to them,' the golden dragon advised, 'so it's best if you enter through the space between the hills and turn with them until you are out of their sight.'

'It's a few seconds window, but I'll guide you through the process.'

"I have no doubt in that," Arthur said while keeping the direction up ahead in his mind.

The distance kept shrinking in no time. Before he knew it, he was already at the hills and then he started to move inside.

'Now!'

As he delved deeply in between this series of hills, he found himself flying on top of the pond. The waters there weren't blue but strangely white like milk.

And he felt like something was watching him from underneath these waters.

"I hope it's not something bad," he muttered before cancelling his transformation, "the portal… now!"

"Woosh!"

The next moment as his body was being dragged down by the gravity, a portal appeared and swallowed him. Despite that his fall inside the garden world was so harsh that he even felt some pain.

"Close it now!" Arthur screamed before watching it vanish. "Our guests? Have they arrived?" he hurriedly asked while standing up from the ground.

'They are less than two minutes away,' Gege said.

"Did they notice anything?"

'We'll know it soon enough,' Gege said.

"Did you sense anything in the depth of these waters?" Arthur couldn't help but ask, "I felt like something… or someone was watching me."

'Well… the tree couldn't see anything at that pond,' Gege slowly said.

"But?" Arthur felt there was more.

'She can't see any because she can't see through the water,' Gege seemed a bit hesitant, 'but she didn't feel any hostility coming from whatever was lying down there.'

"Really?" Arthur couldn't help but sneer, "that's quite relieving y'know."

'I believe the guests have arrived by now, right?' the golden dragon stepped in and shifted the topic back to the main point.

'Gimme a sec,' Gege said before keeping her silence for an entire minute.

"Gege…" Arthur didn't like such silence, "what's going on there?"

'Well… to put it simply our guests didn't notice your presence, which is a good thing,' Gege said in a strange tone.

"And the bad news?" Arthur didn't even smile while waiting for her answer.

'The thing… in the pond…'

"It attacked them?" Arthur said with a chuckle.

'Yes… but it also tries to open the gate.'

"What?" Arthur didn't feel any good out of this, "what is that thing?"

'I believe it's some sort of giant octopus,' Gege said, 'and it's desperately trying to open the portal with all of its giant tentacles.'

Arthur went into silence for a brief moment. He glanced at the sky up above while faint lines of cracks started to shine in white light.

"Is it trying to get in here?" Arthur couldn't help but ask.

'If it did, then it's digging its own grave,' the golden dragon laughed, 'who can beat our Gege in her own turf?'

And Arthur only glanced at the growing cracks with a stern expression over his face.
