Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 73 - The Ancient Demon Is Really Cunning!



Arthur had demonstrated enough, to each single one of them, that size didn't matter, the little tricks of roaring and hitting the ground to make it tremble was just a childish play. What really mattered was the strength, if this demon was strong or not, and he just proved to them that the demon was nothing but a small fly.

Even monsters they faced from before were much stronger than it!

Everything shifted so rapidly, as their fear and doubt were changed by their resolve and courage. They knew they could do it, and they could already picture the demon falling under their hands.

Tarry just moved, with much more confidence than others, knowing his own ability to weaken monsters, and trusting his ability to take down this demon.

However, the demon didn't intend to fall without a proper fight, so it roared, a very different kind of roar, a roar that was so loud that it travelled to distant places.

Arthur felt an ominous surge of auras appearing from behind. He gritted his teeth as he muttered:

"Refusing to just lay calmly and hand your neck to me? you will die no matter what!"

"At least I will take some of you with me," the demon said, in a very tiring tone, that gave Arthur a clue. Whatever ability it used just now to call all other strong monsters eyeing this place, it came with a great cost.

Arthur just looked at that stubborn demon, and he made his decision in mind. He then turned as he said to others:

"Change of plans, wrap things here as fast as you can, then join the battle outside."

He stepped in big strides towards the exit, as he knew what type of monsters would come. He already once struggled with a five horned monster, and he believed he would face a group of them now.

He got stronger, no doubt at that, but he didn't know if he would be able to stand against multiple five horned opponents.

Others just glanced at hi, before Amelia said in a strong deep voice:

"Summon your strongest pets, use your strongest attacks, don't hold back anymore."

She and the other leaders knew how dangerous it was, as they saw it clear on Arthur's face. Even facing this huge demon didn't make him worry, or look so anxious like he did now.

Arthur didn't comment, as he went outside, and looked at the whole place. The area was now wide empty, devoid of any life, but soon it would be filled with a great monster tide, led by five horned monsters.

"They will use a kiting tactic, elongating the fight for the longest possible time, trying to drain our strength."

He muttered to himself, as his past experience with five horned scorpion made it clear how smart these monsters were. They were like actual humans, with intelligence and strengths leagues above normal humans though.

Arthur didn't wait for long, as the distant forest shocked, and trees started to go missing under the louder and louder sounds of hooves.

"Here they come," he said, as he took this time to take out all the explosive rocks and the modified arrows he already had. He knew he had to hold these monsters back as long as it took, waiting for his group to end that nasty demon inside.

The moment the first monster appeared, Arthur rained that distant line of trees with his explosive arrows. The arrows weren't as mighty as the explosive rocks he used to throw, but they could travel far more than the rocks, and he could also control them.

His firing speed was initially high, as bow was his previous preferred type of weapon when he was a cultivator. The arrows managed to cover many parts of the forest lining here, but he couldn't cover it all.

At once, he summoned his rhinoceros, but instead of sending it towards the incoming monsters, he sent it inside to help others. His position would just keep worsening until they end it there.

As for inside, he kept hearing the sounds of the ongoing battle with that demon. He was sure, once Tarry managed to knock it down, and others linked their attacks after him, killing this demon would be a matter of time.

He left them with many explosive rocks. They didn't hold back and rained that demon with fire and explosions. The sound of explosions from inside didn't cease for a single moment, and for his battle, he started using the rocks by now.

The monsters managed to bypass his arrows, and even their explosions weren't enough to hinder their advance for so long. So, he had no other option but to use his rocks.

He then started throwing rocks like a maniac, towards anything that he spotted moving. With time, the whole empty place was filled with explosions, and fire ignited again, grilling these monsters to their bones.

He didn't stop throwing the rocks for even a second, as he knew this fire wouldn't be enough to stop the incoming monsters. He kept firing these rocks for minutes, without even taking a break, and he already started to feel some exhaustion.

He couldn't stop and eat meat to refresh himself, as he wasn't sure what might occur if he did so. Just as he was getting tired, he felt a sudden movement coming from the air above, and without any thoughts he just jumped back, while throwing a group of rocks at the way of what was coming.

A very violent explosion occurred, hitting him hard with a huge, rapidly growing cloud of smoke and dust and blood.

Whatever attacked him just now, was burning in extreme fire, with a shriek sound coming from it every now and then.

He didn't have the time to check it, or even catch his breath, as he retreated tens of meters by this sudden attack, and lost part of his explovie rocks.

So he took another patch, and continued to throw them everywhere in front of him. this time he didn't take large patches of rocks, as he didn't want to lose any.

He knew whatever was burning and roaring of pain right now must be a very advanced monster, five horned perhaps. Just as he threw enough rocks to explode the whole world up front, he jumped, moved with his utmost speed, and appeared inside this huge pile of meat, fire, and smoke.

This time he was prepared, as once he touched the monster and drove it inside his ring, he took out some healing leaves, soaked with the life oil and wrapped his hands and parts of his body with them, and then he retreated, picked more rocks and started to throw them.

"One down," he muttered, as he peeked a single glance inside his ring, to find it was a five horned flying monster, and it had really some serious burns from the surprise attack it just launched.

This sudden attack made him clear about how fervent these monsters were, and how desperate his current situation was.
