Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur watched their lousy, trembling moves, as he finally saw a great difference between this group and the friends he trained himself from before. He thought it might be a rushed decision from him, throwing them here in the middle of this heated confrontation. Just as he was thinking about personally intervening, Omar's voice came, very loudly, very angrily, shouting like being a monster himself:

"Stand your ground, defend this spot with your lives, and don't embarrass me you fools!"

His words counted much more than Arthur and Amelia together. His words were much heavier to his men, who broke through their fear and started to act, like professional mages, with much experience of life and fight, despite not facing such a situation before.

Arthur watched the explosive rocks being thrown so far, and then he smiled. This wave of rocks really exploded massively, trembling the whole mountain and this part of the forest.

The devastation wasn't only limited to those huge clouds of dust, but there were uncountable shards flying everywhere, attacking nearby monsters, either killing or heavily wounding them.

Arthur's eyes shone brightly, not from the huge count of the killed and wounded monsters falling down the mountain slope, but from all this huge amount of shards being extracted, accidently, in the process.

The effect of the first wave of explosive rocks had a very deep impact on the mages fighting at the peak of the mountain, as they knew these great waves of monsters weren't that scary, and they could be killed.

And so, the massacre started.

Arthur stood at the foremost top, watching the ongoing onslaught with a smile over his face, a content smile. He was afraid these mages wouldn't be able to handle the pressure, but after that short speech of Omar, they were transformed and their true potential surfaced up.

It took roughly two hours for the first patch of monsters to come near the walls, but they were devastated by the two horned rhinoceros who killed whatever stood in front of them.

Occasionally, the mages would use some of their powers, using the inner demons to form a shadow behind them, assisting them in the attacks. Arthur watched this style of fighting, and knew right then he needed to find suitable monsters for himself and for the rest of the team who still hadn't coupled with monsters yet.

This patch of monsters was really rich, with so much diversity there, and most of them were double horned monsters, and three and four horned monsters weren't that rare to spot.

He knew this was just the beginning, and much more monsters would appear, three and four horned monsters mainly. His concerns were mainly focused on the capacity of his ring, though it was big but not big enough to be able to store all these monsters.

'I need to make a trip to the camp, leave the dead bodies there to be cooked. The meat wouldn't take much space as a whole monster,' he muttered to himself, but he didn't rush to act, not yet.

He was waiting, waiting for the messages Omar sent to show results. He was sure, with the words of Amelia and then Omar, many would consider joining him.

He didn't just aspire to make a thirty or forty mages team, he wanted to make thousands, even tens of thousands team.

To do so, he needed to raise his strength and the strength of his core mages fast, so their success would dazzle others, and make those who roamed this world freely to seriously consider joining him.

After the fourth hour, the whole base of this mountain was literally covered in the monster's bodies. It was harder than the previous time, as he couldn't just go there and collect the bodies with ease. He thought of taking back the carcass, pausing the indominant attraction of the heavenly treasure, but when he thought about it, a shadow came from far, approaching them in the sky, with many slim figures over the back of it.

It was Birdy, and finally the reinforcements had arrived!

"Omar, look up," Arthur yelled towards Omar, who was already absorbed in the battle, maintaining a good rhythm. Omar looked up for a second, to spot Birdy and many others on its back. He smiled, as he recognized the people on the back of it.

"Hey big brother, those mages came asking for you," Lily shouted from the back of her pet, waving her hand like a little child, with roughly thirty mages on the back of Birdy. When they approached Arthur's place, Arthur managed to see their faces clearly.

Shock, absolute shocked faces was what he saw. He smiled in satisfaction, as this was the exact reaction he anticipated from them.

"Come down little girl, and bring our guests here," Arthur said, as he knew this number would be enough to make him continue the fight, and go down there to gather the monsters.

Lily ordered Birdy to come down, towards the ground, just beside the huge carcass Arthur was above. Arthur descended to there, to find Omar and Amelia already standing with these new mages, welcoming them.

They were all in their twenties, and it seemed they were already friends. The moment Arthur appeared, they stopped talking, as Omar took the initiative to introduce them to him.

"These are my friends, strong mages, not lesser than me and Amelia in strength. He is their leader, Randy, and the others work underneath his command."

Omar was grinning from happiness, as he could notice the satisfactory smile over Arthur's face. He had achieved his goal already, and his introduction was simple yet effective. Arthur noted that, as Omar seemed to be good at organizing and leading others.

"Hi, welcome to my group," Arthur said, expressing his war welcome to them.

"This is our honor," Randy said, though his eyes were attached to many places, he watched this huge carcass with wonder, astonished at the explosive rocks and their devastating effect, and was really shocked when he saw these huge, double horned rhinoceros. He was already shocked when he saw Lily's pet, and now he was much shocked when he saw everyone's pet.
