Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

'You… you… Good, very good. Let's see how your arrogance will lead you, and I promise I won't kill you rapidly, but I will enjoy torturing you for eternity.'

The monster's arrogant and enraged voice came, as it was really pissed off right now.

'If you are up to your words, come now and try to show me what you can do, let's see if you are a real human, arrogant to the bone as you claim or pussy to the core as you are! C'mon, come and attack me!'

Arthur didn't feel offended, nor enraged, instead his initially wide smile turned into a big laugh, a laugh that even lasted for minutes.

"I will come to hunt you when I want, just make your neck ready, as it will be, eventually, mine! hahahaha!"

Arthur was a mad man, a man who lost his mind in the eyes of everyone here. if not for that ominous aura that was getting stronger and stronger, thicker and thicker, they would think he was really lost.

As the aura increased, the flying pet started to grow restless, which engendered everyone. Arthur simple leaned on the back of the monster, and patted it calmly while muttering:

"Don't worry about it, I swear to make you eat roasted meat from its flesh one day, soon!"

The words of Arthur weren't reasonable, but when he said it, the flying pet shrieked, like it was celebrating something, announcing its stand to that guarding monster, then its body got stabilized, and its flight speed increased.

The others, especially Clovert, looked in suspicion towards him, while Amelia asked, with some curiosity:

"I just felt a great ominous aura, was that the guarding monster you spoke of yesterday?"

Arthur was astonished for her cleverness, as he nodded while saying:

"It was trying to trick me, but he is naïve if he thought I could be tricked this easily."

Amelia didn't get his intent fully, but she knew he was speaking to the guarding monster, and that was indeed something worthy of admiration. She didn't know how they two spoke to each other, and she added this to the long list of mysteries hovering around Arthur.

The team reached the place Arthur vaguely recalled, as it was a huge hill, most likely a small mountain, where all the trees were growing on its huge body, forming a pyramid shaped elevation towards the sky.

"Let's get down there."

Arthur had to admit, there was no clear spot for them to land at. The place was already filled with large trees, like it was part of the forest not a huge mountain. The moment they neared the ground, Arthur led them all to jump, while he said to Clovert:

"Keep yourself here, and act as our eye in the sky. If there is any great danger coming, just alarm us. Feel free to join the battle as well, if you want."

Clovert just nodded, as he didn't get tired of this new pet, while Omar was lamenting his luck, and envying him. he wanted to have such an awesome bird pet as Clovert, but he just consoled himself, knowing that he would, eventually, get one after this battle.

"Now," Arthur said, as they were now standing surrounded by trees everywhere, "I want you to summon your pets, and use them to clear the whole trees growing on this little mountain, reaching down its base and clear an area around it."

Amelia and Gregory understood his meaning, as he wanted to make a replica of the previous terrain of the last battle. So, they two acted as vanguard, while the rest just followed their lead.

Arthur also summoned Don, and gave him a good amount of meat to eat. A small horn was starting to bulge from its forehead, which was a good sign for Arthur.

He knew this pet would lose its significance with time, unless it matched the growth of Arthur's strength, which was something unrealistic. Arthur didn't want to abandon it, so he was trying to help it as much as he could.

However if this monster didn't grow up fast enough, he would consider setting it free, and adopt another pet.

Arthur took a rhinoceros when they were back at the camp, and now he had two pets under his disposal. The issue he was facing now was the limitation forced upon him, as he could summon only one monster at a time. He just hoped when his strength grew, he could increase the number of his summons.

He sat there, on the peak of that mountain, overseeing the whole forest, while mages and their pets were clearing the whole body of the mountain. It didn't take one hour, and the terrain was totally changed.

The mountain body appeared clearly to everyone, and it was, for the surprise of Arthur, made of some ruby like rocks.

"It's an ore mine, not just a simple mountain," Arthur muttered, as he leaned on the ground and started sensing the flow of energy inside this ores.

"Wow," he muttered, before he went to another spot and tested it. "this ore is really something, it's much higher than the one I just used before."

He was speaking about the ore he used to make his storage ring. He sensed greater flow of energy inside these rocks, and that meant this ore was much better in storing and conducting energy.

"Do you know how to craft?" Omar, speechlessly, asked, as he thought Arthur's surprise would end, but he just discovered another one.

"Yes, to some extent," Arthur humbly replied, as he was busy checking the mountain in different places. What surprised him was the fact this mountain wasn't the only place that had the ore, as ore veins continued to go on at the ground around its base.

'This ore is really priceless. If I could salvage it, store all this inside my ring, and use it later on…' his thoughts paused, as he had a limited storage ring.. It was assumedly very big, but now he saw it to have a very limited space.
