Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

There was no reason to refuse Arthur's plan. The plan he sat in was suited for the situation they were in right now.

"When shall we start?" Amera was practical as always.

"Right away," Arthur turned his head to the portal, "I'll start moving and you should support me all around. I don't need anything to come near me."

"Leave that to us," Doaf said before vanishing with Amera.

"What about me?" Nicole was the only left behind.

"Go and lead your people," Arthur wasn't interested in her, "we have little time to solve this."

She nodded in hesitation before she moved away. Arthur simply watched her leave before sighing.

"Let's start," he raised his head to the sky, "how can we move that thing to the inside of my star map?"

'Ding! I spoke with the world's will and she will control it and move it towards you,' the system said.

'You can simply use your hand to take it in,' the golden dragon said, 'the problem isn't about that but when it enters your star map. You have to be there to control and guide everything.'

"That means I shouldn't be interrupted by any means," Arthur took a deep breath, "what about the supporting array? Is it ready?"

'I've prepared everything,' Gege said, 'you can start making your array to control the portal while I'll let those inside start making the supporting array.'

"You'll teleport them to their places, right?" Arthur saw through her plan.

'Sure, it's safer this way.'

"Alright," Arthur then asked, "how can I make that array then?"

'Ding! I'll control your body while Gege takes out all the materials needed.'

The next moment Arthur lost control over his body while the system started to use all the materials Gege brought out.

The materials were numerous, some were ores, some were special tree branches, and many were plants and seeds.

The first thing the system did was to use Arthur's fire to metl the seeds together. Then he squeezed the plants and used the juice coming out to mix it with the liquid that was formed by burning the seeds.

He mixed all this inside the small cauldron Arthur had. Then he put the branches inside to be soaked completely before he started to arrange them in a certain order.

'I'll take them inside,' Gege said, 'and when the world's will gives the signal, I'll take the array out to be activated.'

The last step was for Arthur's blood to fall over each branch to finish the linking process with the array.

'Ding! It's done!'

It seemed this process would take an hour, but the system did it in less than five minutes. Arthur regained control again over his body before he turned his attention to the sky.

The pagoda descended more than its half already from that portal. Amera and Doaf started to act. The two led their forces high in the sky towards the portal.

While the mecha army that Gege brought forth through portals was in heated up war against the ground army.

Odds looked good for them. Their number wasn't small either so they could compensate for the difference in strength by their numbers.

Plus those forces had the majority of their powers sealed. So it didn't matter if they hailed from higher realms. Right now numbers would matter especially if the gap of power wasn't that great to begin with.

"Let's go," Arthur knew things at the portal would change the moment he started attacking it.

Those who summoned it wouldn't stand by and watch. Yet he wasn't that worried. He already was in such a situation before and managed to win.

The moment he started to fly towards the portal, the entire world around shook and rumbled. Dark clouds started to gather and lightning arcs appeared in great shows.

Things seemed like the entire world was going against this portal and pagoda at this moment.

Thick lightning arcs started to descend over the portal and pagoda without any warning. However Arthur noticed the presence of a hidden protective shield that absorbed most of the attacks.

Only a few managed to overcome such a shield and hit their mark. The portal seemed to tremble slightly under such attacks, while the pagoda simply looked fine.

For Arthur he knew this was an expected move from his enemies. However he was also quite sure the world's will had something to do towards such a shield.

And he was right.

Just as he was midway towards the portal, all of sudden the thick clouds started to rotate around a central point.

And this point was just above the portal and the pagoda.

'Ding! She is starting,' the system warned, 'Ding! that attack will paralyze the portal and shift its location for a brief minute. We need to act during this or our window will be lost.'

'One minute is too short to take such a thing inside the star map!' Gege wasn't feeling optimistic about such a plan. 'Can she attack it again?'

'Ding! I doubt that,' the system sighed, 'Ding! such an attack will consume most of her energy.'

'Damn!'

Arthur kept his silence for a few minutes while watching the dark clouds up above swirl around and form a great whirlpool. It looked really scary from such a distance.

And he wasn't the only one to feel so. It seemed his enemies already realized what was going to happen, and they suddenly started to pour an endless stream of mages all of sudden from the portal.

"So it starts," Arthur slowly muttered, "take everyone out. We need to activate both arrays at the same time."

'Are you sure?' Gege seemed a bit hesitant, 'taking such a thing inside will take much longer than one mere minute.'

'We have to do this,' the golden dragon said, 'we have no other option to stop that thing but doing that.'

"Let's do our best then," Arthur prayed, "hopefully it will be enough."

'…' And Gege couldn't find any suitable word to comment on that.
