Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

\'Ding! You need to figure out a way to do it then,\' the system said before suddenly asking, \'Ding! Can Gege take the tower inside her garden world?\'

\'No, that\'s hard to achieve plus cutting the tower off the supporting array will result in its explosion,\' the golden dragon said, \'there is only one way to do it… You need to select the perfect timing to get near the tower before the supporting array gets crushed.\'

"And?" Arthur asked with no enthusiasm at all, "I pray for others not to come near me, right?"

\'You have the monster on your side,\' the golden dragon said, \'she can act as a brilliant deterrent factor here.\'

"Not even close," Arthur depressedly said, "imagine we are the ones in their shoes, will we let anyone try to take away what we worked hard for? Sacrificed everything to activate?"

Arthur took a deep breath before adding, "that won\'t work. This tower is the only chance they have to crush the shield up above. Losing it means everything they did so far was for nothing. No, they won\'t let me enjoy one moment of peace at the tower."

\'Ding! Good point indeed,\' the system said, \'Ding! But you need to think of a way to force them off that tower.\'

"Like what?" Arthur couldn\'t find anything at all in his mind to help in that regard.

\'Like putting a more challenging thing in front of their eyes,\' the golden dragon said, \'forcing them to throw the tower thing away and only focus on what you forced upon them.\'

"Hmm…" Arthur knew that in theory this was a great tactic, but it was still a theory. "Do you have anything real to work with?" he asked, yet he didn\'t expect much in return.

After all this just all started a few minutes ago by realizing the presence of that tower.

\'Frankly I have nothing to offer, but I can give you pieces of advice,\' the golden dragon said, \'you need to know your enemy better if you want to survive this.\'

Arthur knew this was a known fact and so he kept his silence while the golden dragon added:

\'For example you are saying they won\'t let you come near the tower because it\'s critical for their existence and plans here. But let me ask you one thing, if they have such a mindset then won\'t it be better to present a new threat to them much greater than losing the tower?\'

"Like what?" Arthur calmly asked.

\'Ding! Like giving a real threat to the main forces lying up above,\' the system suddenly said.

"Oh…" Arthur\'s eyes shone brightly while his mind started to link the dots, "so you want me to do something that will threaten those forces up above… that will make them more desperate to stop me and not defend the tower."

\'That\'s correct,\' the golden dragon said in a relief, \'you finally got what I wanted to say.\'

"But… how?" Arthur paused, "if I did something like that, if there is really something like that in the first place, then I have to be entangled performing it. I assume it\'s an array, right?"

\'Wrong,\' the golden dragon firmly said, \'you are missing a big point here.\'

"Then tell…"

\'You aren\'t alone,\' the golden dragon said, \'and there is a simple yet terrifying way to do it and succeed as well without you taking part of it.\'

Arthur didn\'t get what he meant, but the system seemed to think along with the golden dragon.

\'Ding! The portal to that forbidden realm,\' the system finally said it.

"That… Are you out of your mind?!" Arthur was instantly infuriated by their words, "doing this here will doom the entire world! It\'s better to risk triggering that bomb inside the tower rather than summoning that realm here!"

\'Hahaha, don\'t get scared just by mentioning it,\' the golden dragon seemed to quite enjoy this, \'there is a missing part of the plan.\'

"…"

Arthur kept his silence while trying not to explode on their faces once again.

\'Ding! All you need is a teleportation array,\' the system explained slowly to him, \'Ding! See, when you activate that link and move it using the array towards the outside space… they will be much scarier than you.\'

\'They will piss themselves without the need of you to move a finger,\' the golden dragon laughed, \'all you need to do is to leisurely walk to the tower and spend all the time you want to absorb its energy.\'

Arthur didn\'t speak for a while as he was thinking deeply through this. He knew their idea could work, but he also thought about other variables.

For example he needed to first convince Doaf or Amera by this plan without mentioning what he would do with that tower.

And how to convince them to summon that forbidden world without Amera getting in the way.

Without the need to ask, he knew Amera would argue and even might interfere to stop this plan from going smoothly.

So he had only one option left.

"Come here at once… Alone!" he took a bird\'s wing and wrote this to Doaf before letting the paper vanish in thin air. "I hope she won\'t come," he prayed, yet he was doomed to be disappointed.

From far the two of them appeared, flying leisurely as there was no enemy to annoy them.

The monster at the rear and the forces led by the werewolf at the front were doing excellent job in defending the others and killing any lycans approaching.

"I thought you loved to be alone here in the rear," the moment the two arrived, Amera jokingly said.

"Well, I want to speak about something private," Arthur said while giving Doaf a meaningful glance.

"Yeah he told me you asked him to come alone," Amera said with an irritating smile, "but I figured that between the three of us there are no secrets, right?"

Arthur had to pause for a long minute while gazing up at her. She also did the same while calmly crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"Either you say everything in front of me or forget about telling him anything," she stated it in loud and clear words and didn\'t forget to show her irritating smile to him.

And he had no other option but to explain to the two about his plan, hoping she wouldn\'t explode in his face or do crazier stuff.
