Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur stood motionless while watching the pagoda starting to go berserk. He wanted to do as the golden dragon said, however he felt his lack of confidence in doing so.

However, time wasn't in his favor right now. The pagoda lacked its controlling array, and it was emitting power exponentially with each passing minute.

'Ding! there is no time to hesitate,' the system seemed to read Arthur's mind, 'Ding! You need to go and push that thing inside any star now!'

'I'll try to cover you up using the golden pearl's energy,' Gege tried to help.

'I'll try to support you with my power again,' the golden dragon was recently recovered yet he didn't hesitate to give his help.

"No, I'll do it on my own this time," yet Arthur felt even with their help nothing would change. "Just try to be ready to save my life if things go south."

Despite saying that, he didn't move. He stood there while examining the around stars to that pagoda and portal attached to it.

Stars around it directly were small in size. Arthur didn't know what lies behind these stars, and he didn't have time to check.

However he was pretty sure that this pagoda wouldn't be easily controlled in a small world. So he shifted his eyes wider and finally found a large world that seemed bigger than those around the pagoda.

It was a star that lay around a hundred meters away from the pagoda. At normal time this distance would seem insignificant to him, but now he couldn't simply think so.

Even ten meters would be a risk to his life.

"I need to use my map," he turned around and watched all the monsters hidden inside the fog. He knew these monsters came from the map itself, yet he was the sole owner and controller of the map.

So he could also control these monsters as he was their master.

"Gege… Can you control the star map?" he couldn't help but ask and Gege was already reading his thoughts at the moment.

'Let me try,' she said, 'but how will they help?'

"I want them to start moving this damn thing nearer to that star over there," he pointed towards the star he selected before unsheathing his sword, "I'll take it from there once it's close."

'But the star map might get harmed by this,' the golden dragon warned, 'these monsters are projections of the star map, part of its life and will.'

"If I didn't act," Arthur calmly said while starting to activate his technique, "I'm going to die and this star map will be destroyed forever."

'…'

The golden dragon couldn't argue with him anymore. He remained silent as well as his system. As for Gege, she started to communicate with the star map before saying:

'I need you to emit your power,' she paused, 'I can help in controlling the monsters but I can't directly do that without your power.'

"Which power?" Arthur suddenly paused as he realized the answer, "my spiritual energy, right?"

'It's situated inside the dantian for so long already, so it got soaked with its power and got familiar with it,' Gege explained and Arthur already got the idea even before she spoke.

"Alright," Arthur then closed his eyes and started regulating his breaths. He circulated his spiritual energy across his body before he stretched one hand, the one holding the real sword, and leaned on the ground.

The moment he touched the ground, the entire star map shook.

'Yosh, let's do it,' Gege suddenly said in an excited tone like they weren't on the brink of death here.

The fog all around swirled under Arthur's gaze before the monsters all roared  in unison and darted all the way towards the portal and pagoda.

"Focus on the portal," Arthur instantly warned, "it's less risky that the pagoda and the two are connected together."

'On it,' Gege instantly controlled the monsters to aim at the portal and not the pagoda as she initially planned.

As for Arthur, he waited for his chance to go and give that pagoda the last push over the cliff.

However things didn't go as he planned.

The moment the monsters got near the portal, they started to be fired under the intense energy of the pagoda.

The pagoda was getting berserk with time, and the energy it was releasing started to be monstrous, unable to handle even by the monsters here.

'On this rate no monster will arrive!' the golden dragon shouted in alarm, 'you need to support the map.'

"How?" Arthur already saw such a doomed future in front of his eyes, yet he didn't know what to do until the golden dragon spoke just now.

'Use the golden pearl energy,' the golden dragon said, 'it's made of your spiritual energy and much stronger than it. It will be enough to support these monsters.'

Arthur didn't hesitate to push his phantom sword and insert it deeply in the ground. The star map was immune to anything, but when it came from him the sword found its way easily through the sturdy ground.

And then his golden energy started to dissipate inside the star map, making it tremble violently as if it wasn't able to handle the energy.

"C'mon," Arthur gritted his teeth while Gege shouted:

'I'll try to supplement the golden energy, but I need you to circulate it for me.'

Arthur knew Gege was helping him with hands tied behind her back at the moment. She was already busy dealing with the monsters, and it was an impressive feat to help guide the golden energy and supplement it.

And so Arthur started to circulate the golden energy starting from his golden pearl and through his dense network of meridians and veins.

The moment he did that, the amount of golden energy passing through his sword intensified in no time. The first thing he noticed away from the trembling star map was the monsters.

The monsters started to get a strange golden blue coat of faint energy that started to fend off most of the pagoda's power.

And that made the monsters able to walk further without getting destroyed like before.

"Already there," Arthur was already feeling the stress of over using his golden power. However he had no alternative at the moment.

His golden pearl's power was his highest form of power so far. Yet it was the smallest he had.

The monsters finally reached the portal and started to try and hold it. However the moment they did so they were fried into wisps of fog under the effect of the pagoda.

"Make them kick it!" Arthur shouted as he knew no matter how much they tried, they would eventually all be killed.

'But this would take longer!' Gege tried to argue yet he gritted his teeth and shouted:

"Just make them do it!"

Arthur was already feeling panicked as the golden energy was rapidly depleted. Even with Gege's aid, the consumption rate was off the roof.

He believed he couldn't last for more than ten minutes. So he had to act this desperate as he was really one.

As he ordered, Gege started pushing the monsters to kick the portal and even hit it with anything they got. Arthur even saw monsters kicking the portal with their bare feet.

But that didn't matter as long as this portal started to move.

With the relentless efforts of the monsters here, the portal started to move. It was like a giant behemoth getting pushed by endless monsters. Yet it was getting moved.

"Ten meters…" Arthur slowly muttered while watching the portal starting to get some momentum, "twenty meters…" he kept following the distance it crossed with his eyes while clenching his sword tightly.

'There is only three minutes left,' the golden dragon suddenly warned, 'you need to act before it's too late.'

"Wait for another minute," Arthur held his breath while watching the portal crossing sixty meters with good speed. He didn't hurry to act as he knew his power would be helpful at the last remaining meters.

If he used his sword now he would accelerate the consumption of his energy, plus he would lose the support of the monsters.

He had to take his sword away and that would make the monsters naked once more against the brutal power of the pagoda.

If he lost the monsters now, then he would be responsible for pushing the portal for the remaining forty meters. Which was something he hardly believed himself to do.

And so he waited…

'Two minutes…' the golden dragon said and yet Arthur didn't move.

'Ding! You need to move now!'

"Not yet," Arthur waited until the portal and pagoda crossed eighty meters. It happened with only seventy seconds remaining before his golden pearl energy would be totally consumed.

"Now!" he finally moved. He started to run in a weird way regardless of the situation. He leaned to his right side while letting the sword be inserted in the ground while creating a long groove there as he ran forward.

Till the last second he didn't plan on cutting off his golden energy away from the monsters here.
