As for the second monster, it was like a flying elephant, with a huge body that was full of meat and muscles. It had one long trunk that ended with strange long thin filaments that gave Arthur an eerie feeling. It had two huge ears, flapping on both of its huge heads, covered with circular scales. Its tail was long, much longer than its trunk, thin and flexible, moving everywhere like a snake, ending up with a spear-like end.
As for the last monster, it was a whale sized and shaped one, with a huge fin-like tail, biforked at its end to two parts, and each part biforked again, and again, until ending in an endless long spear-like end. Its head was long, with a huge wide mouth, and a long elastic weird tongue that kept darting in and out like that of a snake. It had dozens of huge razor-like teeth rows inside its jaws, with skin so soft and moistening like it just came out of water.
All the three had wings, three groups of paid long wings, that kept their bodies flying in the air.
Just watching them from the ground, from this near, made every single warrior be shocked and paralyzed out of fear!
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
This time, the roars didn't come from the monster direction, but from two different directions at the same time; one from front, as Tina managed to kill every single one inside the fourth group of dark enemies, while the second came from behind, as Arthur had already transformed into his dragon form.
And beside him, the scorpion queen appeared!
"Wow, such huge and strong cursed monsters," the moment she appeared, she said these words, while glancing wide at the three monsters.
"Cursed?" Arthur asked back.
"Yes, these aren't their true forms, they are merely weaker than me in reality, but they got boosted strength by some cursed dark energy," she muttered, before she paused, thinking for quite some time before adding, "yes, they are cursed, and the aura surrounding them now is the root of this curse."
"Interesting," Arthur muttered as he realized her meaning; the formation used by these three group of dark enemies wasn't just one it seemed. There were more formations in play, and that just seemed right considering their number and preparations. "I will leave the defenses here to you, act as much rampage as you like," he said, before starting to flap his wings and move towards the nearby huge monsters.
"Be careful, this aura is exactly the same as the one I sensed inside the hidden forest I went into!" she said, and he just roared back, as he already guessed it.
It seemed he really made the inner monsters lose much of their numbers to the degree of threatening the entire defenses of these hidden pockets. So, the mages and warriors inside decided to come out, bring forth their dark aura to this world.
However, they couldn't turn the whole area even into what they already did at the forests, as they lasted for so long in these forests, infesting it already with their aura for so long time.
And so he wasn't much worried regarding the ground monsters, mostly they could only affect them slightly, raising their strengths by one grade only.
This wouldn't be a problem to his warriors, especially when his bloodthirsty scorpion queen was there in play! As for his rhinoceros, he also summoned it, but he didn't say any word to it, as he didn't put much hopes on its survival, or even playing a good role here.
After all, it was much weaker than those monsters, which made it obvious that summoning him would only serve as cannon fodder, just single cannon fodder added to his long list of warriors here!
As for these three monsters, the moment he just bypassed the area of hills, standing above the trenches region, these three monsters were finally summoned into this world.
"We need to deal with them fast, they are strong, not weaker than me and you," Tina said, as panic was apparent in her tone.
"No, you deal with those dark mages and warriors down below," Arthur corrected her line of thinking, while glancing coldly at the large number of mages and warriors down below, starting to run towards the nearby hills.
"Kill the runners or those behind?" she asked.
"Thos behind, leave the runners for my warriors to kill," he said.
"They aren't a match for them," she retorted back.
"I know, but the most dangerous ones are those behind. Killing them will only grant us victory at the end," he said, as he already knew her fears so well.
"On such a great cost?!" she sighed, as she regretfully said.
"On any cost," he added, while he went directly over those running mages and warriors, while totally neglecting them. He was already channeling all his energy in his body, not for these cannon fodders, but for the great three prizes up ahead.
"As you wish," she said, with a tone that expressed how deeply regretful she was for such a big loss. Arthur knew his decision was cruel, however it was the right thing to do in this complicated battle. He was fighting a snake, and to kill a snake, he had to kill its head, not tail first!
As an arrow, he darted towards the three mighty monsters, which replied to his daring approach, all alone, by three wild roars.
"Splash!"
Arthur suddenly stopped, hundreds of meters away from the three, flapping his wings to support his sudden stop, while opening his mouth wide open, and spraying a strong fountain of his deadly fire.
And the sizzling sound just came from the front, coupled with the rising of thick steam from the three monsters' bodies, as the fire started to burn their bodies in wide areas!
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Three extremely pained roars erupted from them, followed by their violent retaliation. The dragon-like bird opened its peak, and a strong gush of acid fell on Arthur's body, while the elephant waved its long trunk, and dark green, seemingly toxic, fire was sprayed over Arthur's body.
As for the last one, it just opened its jaws wide as long and numerous thick spears of ice were formed, all darted at once towards Arthur's body, covering a huge area in the process.
Arthur was cornered in such a disadvantageous fight from the start!
