Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 584: The Underground Secret Room

He only took a few pills and stuffed them one by one inside his mouth. "We can retreat," he suddenly said what others had in mind but didn't dare to say it.

"But…" Doaf paused.

"The city… your people… this entire war…" Amera was speechless for a second there.

"We aren't ditching them," Arthur finally felt some strength inside his body as he kept eating pills and meat, "we are going to build our armies first and come here later."

As everyone didn't get his idea he started to further explain:

"We have three unguarded academies waiting for us to reap their population and resources. We will go and target them first."

The three exchanged worrying gazes before Amera stated what they were worrying about: "Won't this put your city in danger?"

"Nah, I doubt that," Arthur was confident, "the city is in another dimension now. If they went crazy and sent their entire forces in, first they would be crushed by my forces inside. Besides I totally believe they have undermined hands hidden yet to be revealed. If they went inside, they would be more like idiots who fell for their own traps."

"It's… quite risky," Doaf said.

"But I like it," the crow supported Arthur, "if we managed to build a grand army fast, we can come back here and attack them."

"Let's have one week of preparations then," Arthur stated the timeline, "after this we will come back for war."

"Can you move?" Amera asked.

"Still worried about me," he sneered before turning into a dragon the next instant.

"Who said that? Humph," she turned her face upside down before adding, "let's go, he is very well and capable of moving."

She moved in angry steps while Doaf glanced at Arthur for a long moment. "I'm fine," Arthur flapped his wing before adding, "I'll take all of you within my world now."

He didn't do much as Gege created many portals here while everyone just entered without further ado.

"Don't get yourself into more trouble," Doaf said before moving in the portal.

"Not you," Arthur stopped his werewolf from entering there, "let's go together."

"As you wish, master."

Arthur turned and used the few moments needed for the enemies around to cross the hastily built walls and flew into the clouds in no time.

His body wasn't yet fully recovered, but he couldn't risk losing more time here. He went directly towards the closest academy to his city, the first academy he targeted.

As he flew along the way he met some villages and towns scattered all over the regoing of the academy. He totally ignored them as he would first head towards the fat sheep… the academy itself.

"Take a group of surrendered mages from here out please," Arthur landed on the ruins of the empty academy while muttering this to Gege.

In front of Arthur a group of ten mages appeared with a scared look over their faces.

"Lord, we didn't do anything wrong," they all hurried to speak with pleading voices while Arthur stood there speechless for a moment.

"Ahem," he first cleared his throat before adding, "I brought you here to know more info about the academy."

They exchanged silent glances for a moment before one of them spoke in utter confidence:

"Lord can ask anything and I will make sure to provide the answers."

Arthur weighed him, he was a middle aged man with a strong body and white silver hair. "Were you an elder here?"

"I was once an outer disciple master," the man said, "my name is Sany."

"Alright," Arthur nodded, "I want a detailed map about the area around. Every single clan, village, or town under Rorad academy control must be highlighted in it."

The man looked hesitant for a moment before suddenly turning towards a certain direction. "If I'm not wrong, there was such a map already in the dean's building."

"That might be damaged by now," Arthur sighed, "can't you draw it by memory?"

"Would take much time to do that, besides," Sany smiled in confidence before adding, "this building can't be destroyed easily. It's hidden deep underground after all."

"Impressive," Arthur was surprised to hear that before he motioned to Sany, "lead the way then."

Sany led him and others towards the central area of the academy. The devastation there was pretty much severe than the other areas they passed by so far.

"Are you sure it's still intact?" Arthur asked in doubt.

"Follow me lord," Sany moved towards a huge pile of rubble before adding, "the entrance should be just below this."

Arthur didn't speak as he just turned towards his werewolf who moved and used his superior strength to throw this pile far away with a simple punch of his claws.

And such scenes made everyone's scalp numb.

"Is it still accessible?" Arthur asked while Sany returned to reality once more.

He went to check the ground where a deep crater was there. Arthur knew this was caused by one of his arrows, or a couple of them.

"It's still working," Sany excitedly laughed as if he just brought victory to Arthur, "follow me my lord," he simply put his blood over a small piece of ore plate.

The next instant the ore shone brightly in dark green color before it exposed an opening so deep in the ground. "You didn't lie," Arthur helplessly said while he was descending the long spiral stairs around a single colossal pillar, "this room is indeed very deep."

Arthur kept the werewolf by his side all the time, just in case someone tried something funny.

"We are here," Sany panted while pointing in shaking hands towards the end of the stairs where a gigantic door stood there, "the secret room should be this one."

"How do we open it?" Arthur asked as he observed this gate with admiration. It seemed quite sturdy with many inscriptions that he was pretty sure to be mainly offensive if activated by any intruders.

"This…" Sany showed a struggling expression, "all I know is the dean is the only one who can enter here."

"Let me try," the werewolf suddenly moved to the front, "retreat to a safe distance first," he paused as he turned and gave Arthur this advice.

"Alright," Arthur ascended the stairs until the gigantic werewolf of his seemed like a tiny dot from his place alongside the gate.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Just as the werewolf stepped forward, the inscriptions got activated and many machinations started to work simultaneously.

Endless attacks fell upon the body of the werewolf causing such loud explosions that were heard perfectly by Arthur and his group from this far.

"Damn, that dean of yours is quite ruthless," Arthur muttered in worry, but when he spotted his werewolf standing there fine and without any injuries he felt relieved.

"This room is supposed to be inherited from the first dean," Sany said, "it's said the most precious treasures and darkest secrets of the academy are hidden there."

"I'm not interested in any secrets," Arthur muttered, "but these treasures are something I might aspire to get."

"You won't be disappointed my lord, I can guarantee this to you."

Arthur simply nodded before turning his gaze towards his werewolf who kept getting hammered by all kinds of techniques and attacks.

"It's a blessing to have a bodyguard like this," he inwardly sneered before adding, "keep my dragons ready, if anything happens just bring them forth."
