Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur could only wait and watch while the portal kept shrinking in size. However, despite that, he also noticed a disturbing fact.

"Give my orders to everyone," he couldn\'t help but say in a gratifying tone, "they need to come here and cluster around. I don\'t want to be attacked by anything during this crucial step."

\'On it!\'

Gege already was aware of such development and instantly started to relay his orders.

The portal kept shrinking, but its function remained the same. As its size became smaller, the mages and monsters it emitted became denser, clustered around a small area the more the portal descended.

And that only led Arthur to picture the time when it arrived in front of him. It would be there, however he would be blocked by an endless crowd of mages and monsters.

Facing such odds in such a small space meant it would be brutal. He didn\'t want to waste any second fighting anyone, so he had only to use others to do so.

Hopefully they could protect him well enough and buy him enough time.

"We are here!"

"Stay alert everyone, this is going to be a rough ride."

Doaf and Amera appeared in a flash with a lot of their forces. Nicole appeared later, surrounded by many mages of her clan.

Her face told Arthur how frightened and anxious she was. That made him doubt she ever witnessed a big war before, or participated in one so far.

And that was simply… weird.

However he didn\'t have time to care about that at the moment. All his attention was now only focused on the portal.

It was coming fast towards him. From his place it looked like a big star was getting so near so fast, and that seemed a bit intimidating.

Even he felt some quaver in his heart while trying to maintain his calm.

The closer the portal got to him, the smaller it became, the denser the enemies were. The fight started to be brutal as he expected while everyone was trying their best to control the situation.

However despite that, one fact remained above all heads. The portal kept pushing downwards mercilessly while clashing with any fighting mages along the way.

Anyone who got hit by this gigantic behemoth was instantly thrown away, making Arthur feel this wasn\'t going to end well for everyone.

However it also meant the portal was helping him at the same time. It would sweep away anyone who would stand so near in between.

And that made him feel more confident despite feeling intimidated by the portal itself.

Despite seeing everyone doing their best, even Gege summoned a large number of his mechas for the last moments, he couldn\'t step in and help.

His role was to stand silent and wait for the portal to reach him. Other than this he couldn\'t get involved in anything else.

The portal kept approaching him fast. Seconds turned into hours at this moment while he could clearly see everyone doing their best to protect him.

It wasn\'t long before mages coming out of the portal became so near to him. Yet he didn\'t move an inch. He trusted this for all his forces in this place.

If they failed, he would definitely fall here and fail as well. They would all fail! It wasn\'t as if they were fighting for him, actually they were fighting for their lives.

Yet the portal became less than a hundred meters away when keeping his place secure became quite challenging.

The mages seemed to be thrown out of the portal and landed directly towards him. It made him hesitate before deciding to use another trick.

"Gege…" he only said that while Gege already knew what she had to do.

Without saying a word, many portals started to flash all around. Gege couldn\'t cover everyone in the area covered by the portal, yet she could at least maintain the space around Arthur empty.

And so the area around Arthur became dense with flashing portals. Any mage or monster coming out from it started to get swallowed by the portals she controlled.

Then this mage or monster would be thrown hundreds of meters away by another portal.

It seemed easy, but dealing with thousands per second seemed a very hard feat to pull. However Gege was so focused and she even cleared a path between him and the portal.

Besides, the portal never stopped moving towards him, sweeping away anyone standing in between.

\'Extend both arms now!\' the golden dragon who kept his silence all this time finally shouted, \'It\'s either now or never!\'

Arthur didn\'t hesitate to cut a wound in his two hands using his sword before he extended both arms towards the portal.

He was now in his dragonair form, his strongest form. However the moment his hands touched the portal, a new change occurred.

It felt like he was an ant trying to stop a meteorite from hitting the ground. It seemed futile, yet he didn\'t dare to pull his hands away.

\'Take it in!\' Gege screamed.

\'Ding! The world\'s will is controlling it now, pull it in!\' the system shouted.

\'Take it in, goddammit!\' even the golden dragon screamed yet saying it out loud didn\'t help Arthur at all.

In fact the moment his hands touched the portal he tried. He tried to pull the portal inside and link it to his star map.

However what stood in between was the big size of that portal. Despite the magical effect of the array, its size was still gigantic.

It seemed impossible to take it in at such a size.

As such he was forced by irresistible force from the portal to descend towards the ground without even controlling his descent.

"That\'s… bad!"

He never anticipated such a thing before. He didn\'t imagine he would be hit and pushed down by this portal in such a way.

He tried to flap his wings and resist, however what he possibly could do in front of such a behemoth?

And so he started falling alongside the portal.
