Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 1032 – Arriving To The Lake City

Dragon scales were known to be invincible, indestructible even against the mightiest attacks, and also known to be quite domineering.

Dragon scales weren't just for show. Any dragon scale was considered to be one of the main keys of any dragon strength.

After Arthur came to this world, and especially after awakening the dormant bloodline in his body and becoming a dragon, he knew how scales were important to any dragon.

For example he started up with faint scales, turned into dark red then black, then eventually a mutation occured and he became a blue dragon.

In his eyes, if the scales had no rule to the dragon powers, then his scales would never show changes with each advancement or changes occurring to his dragonair body.

So he believed truly in the mightiness of this defensive skill. However he also knew the shortcoming of such a technique.

The most important was absolute stillness. Not like the blue lightning tortoise technique, where he could at least use his techniques. This one required absolute stillness.

Once used, and as a price for total invincibility, Arthur couldn't move, use any of his techniques, or even use another form of energy during the process. Even recuperation during this time wasn't available as well.

So when using it, despite him being safe, he wouldn't be able to help others. In fact if his enemies read through this technique's flaw, they could surround him during his use without any problems.

Another price was the massive amount of energy used to activate it. However Arthur had a suspicion regarding this point.

This technique would usually consume at least two thirds of the user's energy without question. Of course that was based on spiritual energy and not other forms of energies that Arthur had.

However there were three things that made Arthur doubt this. First of all the basic and most essential requirement that made no one in his past life world to be able to use this technique for thousands of years; the blood of a true dragon.

Arthur himself was a dragon. So when using a technique based on his blood, how come he would spend a lot of energy on this technique?

Another factor was him being a true dragon. So turning into a scale wouldn't differ from him turning into a dragon. He planned to use this technique in his dragonair form, not in his human form anyway.

The last variable he had was his dragonair energy; it was an energy form of dragon power. So when using this technique, Arthur had the confidence in limiting his own energy expenditure to his half, or even much lower than that.

Of course thinking about that made him determine the form of energy used in this technique. The most suited one would be his dragonair energy, the best would be his golden pearl energy which formed from his dragonair energy, and the least form of energy he didn't want to use was his spiritual energy.

As he made up his mind regarding this technique, he closed his eyes and consumed one more day to learn it. 

After finishing everything up, he started to fly again, directly going towards the lake city without any more pauses.

During the war he revised more offensive techniques, and decided to select a few from which he mustered back in his days to use them at times of need in that battle.

"How are things in the city right now?" Arthur asked Gege periodically about any updates from his flourishing city.

Since knowing that the prison world gate was located just above his own city, he couldn't help but feel worried about it. He didn't want his enemies to move faster than him, especially when troops were showing obvious movements at the walls of the city at the moment.

'I gathered up all the generals with their respective elites inside the garden world,' Gege said before adding, 'as for the armies, I scattered them around the lake city as you requested.'

'Ding! I don't see any use of this, after all even if the enemies notice, they won't be able to come and attack us.'

'Being too cautious isn't a crime,' the golden dragon stood by Arthur's side. After all, it was Arthur's arrangement to scatter his troops around the lake city on a very wide scale.

After all, Gege's portal coverage range was really monstrous. Even if he scattered the armies on a wider scale, it wouldn't be a problem for Gege to sum them up.

The only worry of the system was regarding the gate entrance of that prison world. The system feared the gate would limit the entrance to be related to a certain area around it.

But even so, Arthur wasn't worried at all. He knew he got a large number of forces through his garden world, and not through this world itself.

Besides if that was the case, then instead of making Gege move the armies directly from the cities towards that prison world, she would move them first inside the garden world then into the prison world.

It might consume slightly longer time, but it wouldn't mean he was out of options either.

As for the fear of the enemies attacking the troops directly, Arthur doesn't agree with that.

"If they had such ability, they would have long used it when the city defenses weren't alarmed. Plus they invested too much into that trap of theirs. They must be anxious to make me enter it, then triggering a fight outside and risking losing troops without need."

Arthur's words made quite sense, so the system refrained from speaking about his own doubts again.

The flight towards the lake city took roughly another day before Arthur finally arrived. Just from a distance, he could smell the scent of gunpowder in the air.

The walls of his city were filled with defensive troops, showing abnormal alert state and activity than usual. However Arthur wasn't worried about alarming his enemies.

After all his enemies were prepared for a long time for his arrival. Besides they would depend mainly on the trap they built, meaning the value of their troops up there wouldn't be that large.

"Make everyone ready," Arthur took a deep breath and didn't even give a single glance over the beauty of his city, "I'll go directly towards that gate."
