Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur wasn't a defensive type of a man, not right now, not back when he was a cultivator. He leant over offense and saw the strongest defense was by using the deadliest attacks.

Yet when he was on the verge of walking directly inside the den of his enemies, he had to consider ways to sustain not only his life but also the lives of his army.

Not to mention he would be vulnerable if he lost big at the start, he needed his hard trained armies to be ready for the upcoming fights over the nine remaining worlds.

So when he was lost at first to choose a defensive technique, the first thing that popped up in his mind was an area defensive technique.

When he gave it more thoughts he was astonished to realize he never looked for defensive nature mages. It seemed that his own nature affected the way he attracted mages to him in this world.

Only Deem and Gor might be considered a bit defensive, but not superpowers to be compared with offensive mages like Doaf, Jude, or even Amera.

"I need to make up for that weakness," as he reached this shocking conclusion, he decided to select not only a single strong defensive technique but a group of them.

He was the tip of the spear, but he was also the heart of the army. If times needed him to show up his explosive strength then he would do it, and if the situation required him to defend his top fighters then he should also be able to do it.

So this time he took roughly three days to directly learn slightly over ten strong defensive techniques from his past world. The strongest one was called the blue lightning tortoise technique.

The blue lightning tortoise technique was considered a full rounded defensive technique. It worked by forming a big shield in the form of a tortoise shell over a large stretch of land. This shield was illusionary, letting the troops inside to attack freely without any limitations.

And that was one of the advantages of this technique.

Another advantage was its ability to face various elemental attacks. The lightning factor here would help in defending against earth based, wind based, and slightly fire and water based attacks. As for the blue element here it referred to ice, which could strongly defend against water based, earth based, lightning based, and even fire based techniques.

The mix of lightning and ice also defended against the light and darkness attacks, making this defensive technique a fully rounded technique.

As for the size it could cover, it totally depended upon the ability of the user himself. Arthur didn't want to waste anymore time in testing this ability especially since it had a single weakness; time restriction.

Once activated, the user couldn't undo it for at least half day or until the technique was destroyed or the energy of the user got depleted.

In his current condition, using this technique as a trial would waste half more days. Plus he would deplete his own energy without any use at the moment.

Another factor made him refrain from using it. He had three types of energies, with three different effects on this technique for sure.

In his current state, he couldn't tell which type he would use. If he had the choice, then he would use his spiritual energy to activate it. But he had a feeling that the other two energies would get him more results with half effort.

He had an offensive technique linked to his golden pearl energy, and a supportive one linked to his dragonair energy. So Arthur was left only with the option of using his spiritual energy.

However he didn't know if he was going to use it just after entering that trap, or in the middle of the fight. If it was just at the beginning, he would prefer to use the golden energy instead and anchor a strong base for his forces before summoning much more up there.

Yet if the situation changed and he was faced with a must to do or die one, he would then use the spiritual energy, or even the dragonair one if he got the chance.

After selecting and learning all these techniques, he had one more defensive technique to learn before leaving directly without any pause to the lake city.

He needed a self securing defensive ability for his own safety.

In normal situations, Arthur would never doubt his ability to defend his life. Up till now, he faced situations hard and complicated and yet his head still on his shoulders.

But this time was different. He knew his enemies wouldn't be naive or unprepared. They took all the time they needed to come up with a plan aiming directly for his head.

If he was in the shoes of that dark angel grandmaster, he would try his best to kill Arthur at the first of the battle.

"Or all through the battle itself," Arthur muttered to himself before selecting a single defensive technique that suited him.

"The black dragon scale technique was known one time to be the invincible defensive technique in my world. But I never saw anyone practicing it before and only had one record fragment describing its might… shall I use it?"

He frowned in front of this choice. Dragons were mythical creatures very famous back in the cultivation world he came from. Unlike this world, dragons in his world were extinct, even to the degree that many people believed they never truly existed.

That was thanks to the long time of their absence from his past world. Yet that wasn't the reason behind no one ever used this technique before.

In his past world, dragons weren't just famous for their explosive offense, or their abnormal physical strength; they were more famous with their impregnable defense.

According to what he read back then, this technique would turn the user into a mighty scale of a legendary dragon.
