Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

"Boom!"

Just as he was midway towards the city, he suddenly felt an immense pressure exerted over his body, making him crash. His hit to the ground was sudden, but he didn't have any injuries what so ever.

That made him baffled with what happened, yet just as he struggled to stand on the ground, his system voice echoed in his mind.

"Ding! The five hundred pillars merged with the city already."

"Is this the reason I had this immense pressure?" he was struggling yet to stand. "I have to forget about flying then," he shook his head as he walked towards the nearby city gates.

"Ding! It's just the first step, soon more will come so be prepared."

"Prepared for what?"

"Ding! I dunno. This is the first time someone does something foolish like this!"

"…"

Arthur kept walking with much difficulty, like a toddler until he reached the city shield. The moment he reached there he found Amelia, Omar, and Deem hurrying to wait for him at the gates.

"Are you alright?" Amelia asked in much worry.

"I'll live," he simply roared, yet they didn't understand his meaning.

"Let's… Let's go inside might things get better."

Arthur followed her inside, yet when he stepped into the city another development happened.

"Rumble!"

The entire city rumbled and rumbled again. In the next few minutes, even the ground shook under their feet.

"What's going on?" Deem asked with a pale face, "the underground Ley Lines diagram is changing!"

Arthur got an instant scare, yet before he could ask his system about what was going on, the underground diagram shone brightly in bright blue light before it shifted under the eyes of everyone.

"Ding! The pillars are changing the Ley Lines diagram to suit their effects."

"What effect?" Arthur hurried to ask with much worry and concern.

This diagram was considered the future pillar of his city, and now his own pillars were messing with it!

"Ding! I told you before, I don't know!"

Arthur just sighed, as he helplessly glanced over these changes and couldn't do a single thing to them. "I just hope they are for the best," he said to himself.

These rumbles continued for another ten minutes. when they stopped, Arthur felt sudden throbbing pain in the middle of his forehead, then all the immense pressure was gone.

He hardly could support his body from pain, as that spot the stung him was still radiating pain all over his head. "Damn, what's with that stupid headache!" he roared before canceling his transformation, returning human again.

And the moment he did that, he knelt on the ground on both hands, supporting his ragged breathed body.

"What's going on? do you have a clue?" Deem was the most worried one other than him in the entire city, as he was the one knowing the importance of the Ley Lines.

"I think…" Arthur was midway in his words when he abruptly was cut short by a strange humming sound that came from everywhere around them.

"What the hell?!!" Omar was the one to exclaim in shock and disbelief, expressing what others were feeling right now.

Around them, the entire wall and defensive structures they had for their city vanished! "It's not happening only here, it's happening even to the inside walls and towers!" Amelia added as she glanced over the inside city as well.

This was a thing beyond their beliefs! Just as Arthur was about to ask his system, the system simply replied:

"Ding! Don't ask me, I know nothing!"

"Sigh," he just had nothing to do now but pray. He glanced over another direction that others; towards his five hundred pillars direction.

They were shimmering in a strange light that was like light specks dancing around them. this was new, as Arthur knew well enough how these pillars looked like. "So you are still amidst your transformations," he muttered before turning to glance over the giant and distant Golam as he hurriedly asked:

"How much time left for the world's will to descend?"

"Ding! Approximately fifteen."

"And that monster?"

"Ding! I think it will break free in less than that!"

"Alright," Arthur then turned to the three stupefied standing beside him, "don't worry, these are just minute changes, and soon things will return to its previous state."

He then turned to a dragon as he muttered to himself, "hopefully they return better."

He took out his bow and arrows and shot arrows towards the distant pillars. Each arrow hit its mark perfectly even from such a long distance, and each arrow caused another wave of attack towards the frozen Golam.

"Just wait, you moron, after you deplete the energy of these pillars like a fool I will come to torment you for eternity!"

The threatening words of the Golam weren't groundless, and these words made Arthur realize something!

"Don't tell me he is correct!"

"Ding! Sigh, that's correct indeed. Each arrow will release part of the stored energy inside the pillars."

Arthur got an instant scare as he hurried to blame his system. "You didn't tell me that before!"

"Ding! Excuse me Mr. stubborn and city lover, you didn't listen or give me the chance to explain!"

"Tsk," Arthur just knew what he did couldn't be undone, so he shifted his attention towards another matter. "How long can they stand?"

"Ding! I hope for the world's will to kill this Golam!"

"Me too," he shook his head before taking another arrow and hit a pillar with it. "We need to conserve using the pillars for now. tell me are these enough to contain it until the world's will appears?"

"Ding! They will hold for that time, but not for minutes longer!"

Arthur glanced at the distant pillars, feeling somehow stressed. He lacked a good deal of info about everything and so his decisions were sometimes inappropriate!

"Going to the academy is a must," he muttered, "I need to lie low for a while and build up my strength," he added before turning to gaze upon his city behind, "yet this place will be the precious pearl in my heart," he promised.
