Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 568 - A Soul Scale

"Sigh," Arthur knew the lion had a point here before he added, "I'm not one of them. I'm an enemy, the arch enemy of all those dragons and dark clans. You can go and ask around, I have just slain part of such forces in areas next to here."

Arthur then dived towards the bottom of the hole while totally ignoring the empty words of threat coming from these lions. He didn't know everything about them, but he was totally confident of one thing.

They were alone!

"It's the pillar," Arthur muttered when he reached the bottom. The villagers managed to excavate a big part of it but the rest was still immersed under the dirt. "Gege, it's your turn."

'Just touch it and leave the rest to me.'

When Arthur touched the pillar, he felt an ominous aura, the same aura he felt pressuring over him and his mind suddenly thought of something.

'System, can you scan my body and see if there is any strange thing there?'

'Ding! What do you mean?'

'Something… like a part of soul or strange aura. It might be deeply hidden and can't be discovered easily.'

'Then I will help as well,' the golden dragon said.

'Me too,' and once the pillar was gone Gege said.

'No problem, all search deep and slow and don't leave a speck unchecked,' he said before flapping his wings and went directly high in the sky.

The five lions grew in number to reach one hundred, yet still he wasn't pressured at all.

"Got what you want?" the leading lion spoke while he glanced all around, "satisfied now? The clan is angry and they sent their elites to take you down."

"Why not stop this useless show?" Arthur smiled before simply adding, "I know your clan was hit massively by the black dragonairs and you are only the lone survivors on the long period since that accident."

"H- How did you know that?" one lion shouted in surprise.

"See? I told you he is already part of them," another lion shouted while Arthur simply shook his head.

'System, take them all back,' he calmly muttered. The next instant the entire place had many portals appearing around while Gege said:

'It's me who is controlling your portals, not the system.'

'Thanks,' he shortly answered trying to escape the wrath of this fiery girl.

"What are you doing?" the leading lion asked while the rest seemed quite restless.

"Don't worry," Arthur smiled as he added, "I said I came here only for that nasty weapon and now I have it. I'm taking away in preparation to leave this area…"

He paused before asking in serious tone:

"I don't like some courageous clan to be left unguarded. How many times did you dream about getting revenge? Come and join me, work under me and I promise one day your vengeance will be quenched and leave you more satisfied."

"Humph," the leading lion instantly harrumphed, "a dragonair is telling the impossible."

"I'm not," Arthur said before adding, "I'll wait here for two days. Feel free to check the area around and ask about my fight against the dragonairs and their dark clan aiders of werewolves."

Arthur then turned around while the area was now void of a single living villager, "Don't take much long. I'm still looking for those who can support me and provide me with precious intel. Lose this opportunity then your value to me will diminish to be nothing but a pile of worthless lions from the old era."

Before anyone could speak, Arthur flapped his wings and the next instant he vanished from the front of them to appear miles away.

'Do you think they will believe you?' the golden dragon asked.

'I don't care,' Arthur shook his head, 'I already have many inhabitants of this world. All I need is to interrogate them and I will get what I want. They will only save many days for me, nothing more.'

'I'm speaking about the Hor people,' the golden dragon said, 'they won't tell anything good about you.'

'I don't care either,' Arthur shrugged before turning around, 'it's time for me to regroup with everyone.'

He took out a bird's wing and sent it towards Amelia and asked her if they found a good spot to establish the city.

And after a few minutes he received the response from her as she told him they were comparing between four places and will decide in less than one hour.

"Good news indeed," he muttered before finding himself not having anything to do during this period, "I should fly aimlessly until they decide."

Just before half an hour passed, the golden dragon suddenly spoke:

'I found something nasty.'

Arthur had a bad prominition when he heard these words. 'What?'

'There is a soul scale inside your soul,' the golden dragon muttered. 'It's something very ancient, even older than me.'

'And?' Arthur didn't want to hear more but he had to ask.

'It's mainly part of a very strong black dragonair's mage. It takes the form of a scale and it camouflages itself inside your soul sea. Very hard to detect and harder to deal with.'

Arthur took a deep breath before saying:

'What are the effects of this? Can it affect me?'

'Nah,' the golden dragon said, 'the good news is that it's used only for tracking purposes. But the bad news is that no matter where you are, the owner will have general guidance towards your place.'

'He… is still alive?' Arthur asked to make sure.

'Indeed he is.'

'Damn!'

'Ding! I can't detect it!'

'Neither do I.'

'I'll make it flash for a moment,' the golden dragon said before adding, 'but doing so will cause severe pain to you.'

'Just do it,' Arthur gritted his teeth before adding, 'I need all the info possible from all of you.'

'Alright, hang tight.'

The next moment Arthur felt a tsunami of pain assaulting his body without any mercy. He roared out of extreme pain and he hurriedly kept his consciousness as he lost his balance and went directly crashing on the ground.

Arthur hit the ground like a rock descending from the sky, causing severe shock waves and creating a deep crater in the ground while his body rested motionless there without any sign of being awake or alive except for the hot fog coming out from his nostrils.
