Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 696 - The Higher Realm

Arthur kept moving forward without any control on his body. The attraction force was getting fiercer with time, and he eventually lost track of time.

"Boom!"

All of sudden he crashed down a large forest with trees covered in snow. His landing was so rough that he penetrated the depth of the thick layer of snow and created a deep groove at the ground.

"I hate such landings," he cursed while standing up. His body was feeling sour all over but he didn't even check any of his wounds before checking the surroundings.

"It's a snow world then," he muttered to himself when he saw the whiteness covering everything around. "Bring Doaf out," he said before taking out a healing potion.

'Ding! My scout isn't working here either,' the system suddenly said before a portal appeared and Doaf stood out of it.

"What is this place?" he glanced around in doubt while Arthur explained the facts in simple phrases to him.

"Oh… let me check the world then," Doaf took out a strange orb before pressing hard on it. the next moment that orb which Arthur thought to get crushed resisted the mighty force of this giant.

And then it started to shine.

"It's… one of the highest planes… damn!" Doaf cursed the moment he saw the intense red light coming from that orb.

"So they moved us here… interesting," Arthur cracked a wide smile before adding, "now everything rests upon your shoulders."

Doaf glanced at him in silence while understanding what Arthur wanted. "Leave it to me," he said before turning around, "but this is such a bad place to stay at."

"I know," Arthur fixed his gaze upon a far distant series of white mountains, "what do you think of that place?" he motioned towards these mountains and Doaf nodded.

"The issue isn't about the place itself, but about how you'll survive here," Doaf muttered, "I believe even the weakest monsters here can kill you. Not to mention the fully powerful enemies who will use their full strength head on."

"I know," Arthur calmly nodded, "but there is no way to let them move such a place to the sect or else we would have lost the entire war."

"This war… is quite disadvantageous to us from the start," Doaf sighed, "we shouldn't have taken a role in it in the first place."

"We have to," Arthur nodded, "gaining one more ally and demolishing one of the enemies' trump cards is very crucial to our survival. Besides, through here we would have a way to get connected to my godfather."

"That's true," Doaf nodded, yet he wasn't convinced with Arthur's logic.

And Arthur could only sigh.

"Evading a battle for now seems wise indeed," he honestly said, "but one day they'll come knocking over our doors and crushing everything we worked so hard to build. I won't allow that to happen and won't resign to false safety by closing my eyes upon their deeds."

This time Doaf seemed to slightly accept his logic, yet he didn't express any of his thoughts.

"Do you need me out here then?" he asked.

"I have to cross this distance on my own," Arthur said, "one man is better than two than an army."

Doaf nodded, turned around and muttered. "Please don't die," then he vanished inside the portal, leaving Arthur alone.

"Gege, don't sleep now," he simply muttered before deciding to walk on the ground, taking cover of the woods to hide his presence.

After all, flying right now seems quite risky for various reasons.

'Don't worry, I still have long hours for my next nap.'

'Ding! I'm pissed off by the blockage my abilities have,' the system suddenly said, 'Ding! Without a scout you are walking in the dark.'

"Can't the tree connect to this world?" Arthur suddenly asked.

'I'll ask her then,' Gege said before vanishing for a couple of minutes. 'I've good news and some bad news.'

Arthur bitterly smiled before saying, "Give me all at once."

'The good news first then,' she said, 'the tree can connect to this world, but her abilities are very limited to an area of ten thousand miles only.'

"That's… a very great thing for now," Arthur couldn't help but laugh.

Yet the moment he did, his roars suddenly appeared in a physical form, startling him. He glanced at the dark blue electric waves emitted from his mouth before hitting a distant group of trees.

"Boom!"

And next a loud bang erupted making him freeze for a moment out of deep shock.

"That… what just happened here?" he couldn't help but stutter while glancing at the intensely burning trees up front.

'Ding! Higher realm with new rules… you should watch out and not laugh from now on,' the system laughed while Arthur went silent before moving as fast as he could.

"I've attracted a lot of attention now," he kept changing his directions all the time while trying to get himself as far away as possible from here. "Hopefully I will run away quickly before they arrive."

'Don't worry, as from the three words the main army is stationed thousands of miles far to the south,' Gege suddenly said, 'and only a few teams are situated around this big forest. However…'

"What?" Arthur urged her to continue.

'This forest is filled with strange monsters. From what she told me I can guess no one is a push over.'

'Ding! But we have his roars,' the system was still laughing, 'Ding! Nothing can stop him now if he just laughs.'

'Making him laugh isn't that hard,' Gege joined him in mocking Arthur, 'Do you want to try it now?'

"Silence you two," Arthur wasn't in the mood to hear their jokes, "how that old man is doing now?"

'Sigh, I tried to wake him many times but he seems to be in deep sleep for now,' Gege helplessly said, 'I'll need more time to awaken him.'

"I hope he wakes up before it's too late," Arthur couldn't help but shake his head, "and he would be of good use by then."

'There is also one small problem,' Gege said, 'the tree can't connect to the previous world.'

"That's… quite expected," Arthur deeply muttered, "but it's not that bad. I'm sure they would fare well on their own."

'Ding! Also the time here is running differently than the lower realm,' the system said, 'Ding! So staying for days or even weeks here won't take much time back there.'

"They had a few hours before the attack," Arthur bitterly said.

'Ding! And you took away one grand army off the table, and only that traitor remained with the weakened ground forces.'

Arthur couldn't argue with that. He went into silence before asking:

"Can you keep me updated on the places of the monsters here? I don't want to start a fight now before going to these mountains."

'Alright,' Gege then started to give him directions while the system kept his silence alongside Arthur. Arthur's speed was unparalleled but he doubted those in this world were any much slower than him.

In fact he was resisting the urge to fight a monster here and try out their powers, and his.. He knew his powers would be limited, but his grand sword technique would stand out, alongside his newly discovered roaring ability.
