Chapter 731 - The Golden Dragon Awakes
Arthur got his answer not through Gege but from the Doaf and Amera themselves. The two flew fast towards his place and the moment they appeared there they started examining the two arrays and the distance between them.
"This is… a bit excessive," Doaf slowly said.
"I never saw a twin array like this… What is he trying to do here exactly?" Amera was
Amera crossed the entire distance in a hurry that she even was panting.
"I dunno,"\' Arthur slowly said, "that\'s why I\'ve summoned you two."
"We never saw something like this before!" Doaf shook his head, "I don\'t like it."
"Me neither," Amera was also worried about this array.
\'This is an ancient array,\' the answer suddenly came from none but the old dragon.
\'Whoa! You woke up old man!\' Gege laughed before Arthur said:
\'What is this array? Is it this bad?\'
\'It is… And I advise you not to take it lightly,\' the golden dragon said before adding, \'it\'s one linking this place with a place of ancient monsters. Rumors said there are some of those old folks who can sustain the cruel effect of time.\'
\'Old folks?\' Arthur asked in doubt.
\'The gigantic monsters who roamed this universe long before the order was laid,\' the golden dragon slowly said, \'some linked them to the originals… saying they were the pets or the war monsters of them. However no one exactly knows the truth.\'
\'They are… strong, right?\' Arthur tried to understand the threat he was facing right now.
\'Indeed they are!\' the golden dragon didn\'t hesitate to say, \'but for some good reason they kept themselves confined inside a hidden realm. Only by using binary arrays like this one can you open a portal to their world and invite one monster to follow your orders.\'
\'That\'s… too bad,\' Arthur\'s face changed while gazing up at the array that was getting formed, \'how can I stop it?\'
\'A direct order from the ruler of the world,\' the golden dragon slowly said, \'only one with such power can seal this array forever.\'
\'Ruler… you don\'t mean the world\'s will?\' Arthur was feeling more unease about this.
\'World\'s will is the only thing that can stop this array and those monsters,\' the golden dragon said, \'you need to talk to this world\'s will and convince her to cooperate.\'
Arthur stood there silent as he didn\'t say anything. His mind was now filled with many speculations. "Not when I\'m this close," he suddenly said and his words and the way he said it made the other two around restless.
"What\'s going on?" Amera asked.
"\'It\'s… bad," Arthur took a deep breath, "however there is a way."
"A way for what?" Doaf asked.
"Can\'t we go there and kill him?" Amera pointed towards Marcos.
"I don\'t think we can do that," Arthur pointed to the array down below, "there is an impregnable shield lining the array. We can\'t penetrate it."
"We can try," Doaf said.
"I hope you succeed," Arthur said before sitting on the ground all of sudden, "I have something to do now. You go and try to kill him, and I\'ll try to save us."
The two glanced at him with doubt and confusion while he closed his eyes, regulated his breath and started to gather up his energy.
\'There\'s no world\'s will here?\' the golden dragon finally got what he was missing, \'that\'s… bad!\'
\'We\'ll try to install a new queen here,\' Gege said in strange excitement.
\'It\'s a risky plan,\' the golden dragon said, \'but it\'s a must if we want to leave this place.\'
\'I\'ll go deep now,\' Arthur said, \'be ready to help me if things went wrong.\'
Arthur then moved his energy to penetrate the ground. The energy formed a long thin line that started to penetrate the ground deeply.
The moment that happened Arthur could already sense the restless energy of this world. The entire world was in disarray at the moment, but that didn\'t prevent him from going deeply towards the ground.
He was trying to look for the shrine of the old world\'s will. According to his speculations, the throne room must be deeply buried in the ground.
He guessed it to be lying deep inside the core of the planet.
\'Ding! The world\'s energy seemed to sense the danger of Marcos\' twin array and starting to attack it.\'
Arthur could already feel the hostile nature of the world\'s energy swarming everything around. However he felt like everything was stirred up and gathering to attack one place only… the place of that twin array.
\'The world\'s energy without the guide of the world\'s will won\'t be enough to stop this,\' the golden dragon said, \'but it will buy us enough time.\'
\'We won\'t take that long to make that sleeping beauty inside me the new world\'s will,\' Gege said with an optimistic tone.
\'Don\'t be like that,\' the golden dragon said, \'I doubt whatever killed the old world\'s will to be something easy to handle.\'
\'Ding! we hope it won\'t be there.\'
\'I doubt that,\' the golden dragon had to be realistic here, \'whatever killed the world\'s will won\'t leave his trophy behind. I bet it\'s still there and I also bet we will have a hard time dealing with it.\'
Arthur heard all their words while his soul was travelling through the ground at fast speed. The world around was now dyed dark red as if blood was spilled all over the world.
And the more he went deeper the more restless he became. He had a very bad omen deep inside him, like he was getting to the place of his death.
\'Let\'s try to think of a way to handle such a thing if it\'s there,\' he slowly said, \'what do you think killed the old world\'s will?\'
\'First of all it would be another world\'s will,\' the golden dragon said, \'but I don\'t think so.\'
\'Ding! If there is a new world\'s will here then I would have managed to get in contact with her a long time ago.\'
\'That leaves only two options left,\' the golden dragon said, \'one it\'s one of those hideous monsters forged by the dark clans. Like the one you fought before, one that feeds upon the flesh of the world\'s will.\'
\'The golam,\' Arthur knew what he was referring to.
