Chapter 907 - A Deadly Trap
"Gege... scan the area around here for any hidden forces," Arthur couldn\'t think of anything but that. The only thing these forces might wait for would be the presence of hidden reinforcements hidden somewhere here.
However even until the second shield went down, Gege couldn\'t find a single glimpse of anything.
"What... no way!!!`` Just as he was puzzled by this, his forces moved forward to hit the third shield. At this moment, a strange and unbelievable thing happened.
The first shield that got destroyed came up intact as perfect as it was before. Arthur watched for a brief moment before he suddenly flew directly towards there.
"This is the trap," he didn\'t need to wait for any further clues to reach this conclusion.
\'But the third shield is still intact,\' Gege tried to reason with him.
\'There must be hidden forces somewhere. They are planning to get you first,\' the golden dragon said his theory, but Arthur never accepted it.
"No, they don\'t want me... they want them," Arthur was quite sure this time, "they will tear my elite forces first to get rid of my annoying thorns. Gege..."
\'I know,\' Gege wasn\'t agreeing with his assumptions, however that didn\'t prevent her from doing what he thought of.
In fact none of the three beings in his mind approved of what he just said. However Gege couldn\'t find any trace of any hidden forces, neither did the system.
As Arthur moved so fast towards the shield, many portals flashed all around. They started to pour out his elite forces, but Arthur still had the first blow towards the shield.
"Bang!"
His two swords were now sheathed by the white energy of this world. A loud bang erupted when the two clashed at the same time with the shield.
"Tear this down!" he shouted before turning to his trapped forces, "tear the third shield down as fast as you can!"
His voice was perfectly heard by everyone, however no one felt the same distress as him.
And time proved they were wrong not to feel so.
"Hahaha, it\'s too late kiddo," just as Arthur was fervently attacking the shield, a sinister laugh came from inside. "Say goodbye to your beloved forces, I will tear them apart in front of your eyes!"
Arthur instantly recognized this sinister voice as it belonged to the hideous dark angel grandmaster from before.
\'How can this be?!!\' Gege was shocked but the golden dragon gave her the answer.
\'He isn\'t making any personal appearance here, so he isn\'t breaking the treaty with Arthur.\'
\'Ding! He will summon a lot of forces to kill the trapped forces of ours.\'
The system words were proven right. The next few moments were filled with flashing sounds of many portals appearing all around his trapped forces.
"Gege... Can you bypass it?" Arthur couldn\'t help but think about a contingency measure.
\'No, the shield seals off any connection to here,\' however Gege said what he didn\'t want to hear.
"Jud... Jud..." Arthur instantly turned to plan B and yelled all around for the leader of the bronzed killers.
Before even reaching him, and once Arthur spotted Jud, the former shouted without delaying any precious seconds:
"Use your ultimate technique... bring this shield down now!"
The orders of Arthur gave everyone a sense of urgency and danger. What they felt was true as things kept getting worse inside that shield.
Just as the portals started to pour out a large number of grandmasters alongside their elite forces, the third shield suddenly vanished before the forces inside the fortress moved in unison to attack the trapped forces of Doaf, Amera, and the crow.
The three tried to rearrange their lines to welcome the uninvited guests, but this sudden change killed their plan in the end.
The trap was perfectly executed and now the three trapped pillars of Arthur struggled to keep everyone of their forces in line.
They even started to summon more, much more of their forces, everyone in their worlds.
They knew this trap was designed for them to fall here, and no one would ever slack when it came to their lives.
However their enemies were already in high morale. They saw their victory waving at them from a distance. All the first clashes ended up with massive losses to the three pillars while the enemies lost few.
But this perfect trap had only one weakness... one simple mistake that the dark angel grandmaster mage missed and didn\'t account for.
It was Arthur!
The moment this trap appeared, Arthur started to act. However, taking down one shield took three hours for his combined forces.
But Arthur wasn\'t out of options here.
"Be sure to make everyone use their ultimate techniques now!" Arthur yelled at Jud who turned to face the shield and was ready to use his ultimate technique.
\'What should you do?\' the golden dragon asked, \'shouldn\'t we send the word for the three girls to come?\'
Arthur knew whom his golden dragon was referring to. Tina, Sara, and the scorpion queen were a formidable force combined. But it wasn\'t realistic to think about this for now.
"They will take much time to come," he closed his eyes and stood in midair motionless. "I have another plan."
As he entered his garden world, he landed on an empty spot where sixty-four corpses lined in front of him. "Bring me more, let me fulfill the quote," he said before putting his hand over the head of the first corpse, "activate the dragomancer technique!"
He knew time was the sole determinant of the victor here. He didn\'t doubt the strength of his forces trapped inside or those outside trying to break that shield down.
However he also was aware that his enemies must have thought about that. They must have prepared a lot to make the shield sustainable for the longest time possible.
So Arthur decided to go full out and show them how foolish it was to try and play dirty with him.
The first dragon born was something worthy of admiration. It wasn\'t just gigantic, but it also emitted a dangerous aura making even Arthur feel intimidated.
"Master," the dragon obediently bowed its giant head covered in dark red scales. His body was covered with darker scales until the tail, adding to his domineering aura.
"Stand still for now," Arthur didn\'t have time to celebrate this, "we have a big war at hand."
He jumped towards the next corpse, then the next. He kept changing all the killed grandmasters before he started working on those corpses he garnished from the war upon the cauldron world from before.
When he finished transforming the hundred corpses into mighty dragons, he evilly smirked before saying in cold and ruthless tone:
"Get us out, and bring all the dragons and monsters here as well. Also bring that lazy pregnant octopus, we will need her help for sure."
If his enemies decided to go all out, why wouldn\'t he do the same?
