Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 822 - The Brilliant Trick



Gege didn't say anything else before many portals flashed all around. Many mages appeared, part went towards Arthur and part went towards the pagoda.

As for the rest, they went towards the sky to help Doaf, Amera, and Nicole to fight those incoming enemies.

In fact the upper hand was always in Arthur's allies. They were prepared beforehand for such a fight. So they were mentally and physically prepared, took suitable positions and made strong formations.

As for their enemies, despite being charged in with large momentum and great numbers, they were scattered and not organized.

Plus they needed a few minutes to adapt to the changes that happened after getting in this world. The sealing effect to their powers wasn't something easy.

And so Doaf and Amera aimed at this specific narrow window to cleave the lives of anyone trespassing this world.

It was only a window of mere minutes, but they brilliantly led their forces to kill as much as possible of those incoming mages.

And when Gege released a great part of the stored forces inside her garden, the fight became easier.

Yet Arthur had some fear towards the short window he had.

Unlike Doaf and Amera, he had no way to control this window or do anything other than initiating the link.

He would absorb the portal inside his star map, and hopefully that portal wouldn't be hard to pull inside there.

Or else he didn't know what would happen.

"Here it comes," just as the mages all around took their positions, Gege summoned the ready to use array using a great single portal.

The array appeared in eight angled stars, very huge to be able to cover the entire portal with the pagoda inside.

"Won't this bring the pagoda inside?" Arthur feared this the moment he noticed how this array was aligned.

'Ding! It won't,' the system said.

'You better say you pray it won't,' the golden dragon corrected, 'anyway it's our only shot. Hopefully nothing wrong will happen.'

'Ding! the world's will is ready whenever we are,' the system ignored this remark from the golden dragon and relayed the news from the world's will.

And Arthur was also ready.

"Activate the array," Arthur slowly said before watching the grand array flash in blue light. The branches were burnt by blue light and turned into wisps of blue smoke.

And the smoke started to dance and float in the air, slowly heading towards the portal and avoiding the pagoda.

Arthur watched the smoke turn into thin long filaments that got stuck with the edges of the portal.

The portal never ceased to emit new mages every second. For him and from such a distance it felt like it was a bottomless abyss, ejecting everything inside its stomach without showing an end.

'Ding! We are ready,' the system just gave Arthur a head up, 'Ding! Shall we start now?'

"Inform Doaf and Amera," Arthur slowly said, "they should be ready for that."

'On that,' Gege relayed the info to the two and after a few moments she returned to say, 'they are all good.'

"Great," Arthur nodded, "let's start then."

The moment he said those words the entire world changed. The dark clouds suddenly shone in strange silver light. The light appeared at the outer edges of these gigantic layers of dark clouds before marching fast towards the center.

For Arthur and others watching this epic scene, it seemed like dawn was shining over the night and eating away all the darkness inside.

The silver light formed an enormous circle that kept shrinking fast while moving towards the center. Anywhere it went to, the darkness vanished alongside the clouds itself.

And the silver light intensified fast.

'That's a remarkable way to gather up all this energy in one point,' the golden dragon couldn't help but praise.

And Arthur sighed silently without commenting at all.

He knew this move was impressive, even back in the cultivation world. He also recognized it as one of the best techniques in his world. Only cultivators blessed with the ability to control spiritual energy naturally could pull such a feat.

And that meant whoever this world's will was, she must have been a hell of a great cultivator back in her prime.

And that just made him wonder about how deeply related the two worlds were.

On the other hand, the array was already activated and those weak and thin looking filaments turned into strong chains that began to shake the portal slightly.

The array simply worked by pulling the portal towards the direction of the center of the array; towards Arthur.

With Arthur's blood, the array would work to move the portal towards him. However shaking off such a gigantic portal seemed quite a feat in itself.

And the array only managed to do only that.

'It's not working!' Gege was already on her edge while watching the portal trembling without any sign of moving.

"Wait," yet Arthur was much calmer than her, "wait for the strike to descend."

As he expected, the moment the silver light circle reached the center, the sky up above shone brightly for a long minute.

Then a silent, very intimidating thick pillar of silver rays descended from high above and landed directly over the portal.

Even the protective shield crashed in no time against such an attack.

And then the strong and unshakable portal started to move.

"See?" Arthur's grin was from ear to ear, "it's coming towards here already."

The portal was being pushed by the descending silver pillar. However the most impressive thing wasn't that, but the pillar itself.

It didn't vanish the moment it hit the portal. Instead it kept pouring down all its might and power over the portal, forcing it not only to move but also to accelerate.

And at this moment, the array started to show its magical effect.

"It's… shrinking!!!" Arthur was shocked to see that. At first it wasn't apparent to him. The chains coming out from his array kept pulling the portal down with the help of that silver pillar.

The portal started to catch up speed and Arthur felt the array's role was to guide the portal towards his direction and nothing else.

However in less than ten seconds, he noticed something else. The gigantic portal didn't seem that big anymore.

He turned his gaze around and to his shock he found the array was also shrinking. The mages controlling it were moving without any intention to shrink the array and make it condense over Arthur.

"Are they reacting… or are they acting…?!" Arthur didn't know the answer and yet he was pretty much interested in knowing it.

'It's the latter,' the golden dragon simply said, 'and get ready, the moment you have to take the portal inside is very short.'

Arthur first was worried that the portal would take the pagoda alongside it when descending. However when it reached midway, its size was now decreased to not exceed one hundredth of its original size.

It was such a magnificent trick that he never expected. A trick that turned such a scary portal into nothing more than a big portal, one he wasn't intimidated with.

"I can do this," and with that, his confidence skyrocketed as he now was sure of his win.
