'Ding! Good idea,' the system said. 'Ding! What do you plan to do now?'
"Hmm… first thing is to go out there and claim all the pillars I could gather," he said before adding, "I will try to take as much as I could from everyone."
'Ding! That… will take a while.'
"You saw it yourself, these clans are already recognizing me as a threat and know my plans. This time they aren't this prepared, but given them enough time and they will," he said before adding, "bring thirty corpses to me to turn into dragons."
Each day he would use the dragomancer ability once. During the past week he stayed here, he managed to not skip a day and now his dragon army increased by two hundred and ten dragons.
'Ding! Here they are.'
Arthur didn't say anymore as he started touching them one by one, infusing his peculiar energy inside and turning their dead bodies into lively dragons.
"Master," the thirty dragons stood beside him while giving him tribute.
"Send them to their comrades," Arthru casually said, "and make them ready for the upcoming war."
'Ding! Do you want me to open a portal for you now?'
Arthur was reminded of his star map. "Did it finish the merge? What new benefits it gained?" he hurried to ask.
'Ding! It completed it four days ago, and beside the normal function it can now help you in your raids.'
"How?"
'Ding! It can attack the other maps directly and start swallowing them with their linked worlds,' the system said before adding, 'Ding! But if used alone, this might take a really long time to happen.'
"Who said it's alone?" Arthur smirked before adding, "Open the portal now, let it know it has such a kind and mighty master."
'Ding! Hehehe, alright.'
The next moment a portal was opened in front of him. He simply tossed his cauldron inside his ring and thought of the need to obtain more rings in the future. "But I do have this amazing garden, what need is for a ring?" he laughed.
'Ding! Your garden can't continue to grow up inside the tiny space of that necklace,' the system suddenly said. 'Ding! A time will come when you'll have to find her a better place.'
"Like what?" Arthur reached his star map and then went over the new star added by the master.
'Ding! Dunno yet, but if you meet something interesting, I will instantly inform you about it.'
"Alright," Arthur reached the next star map before closing his eyes for a second and reopening them.
"Shit!" the moment he opened his eyes, he saw dozens of monsters moving fast towards him. There were already five monsters stationed on his star, and they were veiled in the dense fog.
"Bring my dragons," he shouted as he took out his bow and normal arrows before ducking to avoid a lethal sword aimed for his head. "Take this," he instantly turned into a dragon and launched five arrows to kill those five nearby and then aimed for those coming towards him.
"They are well prepared," he complained when he saw the thousands upon thousands stationed only in the star map to guard it. "Told you," he released the arrows before taking more.
'Ding! They are fast.'
"Sure, I'm sure they must have a meeting prior to me coming up here to discuss how to stop me," Athrur kept launching his arrows before adding, "Make my star map start assaulting this one."
The area around him started to be filled with his three hundred dragons. Yet in front of all those enemies, this number paled a lot.
So he needs help. After all he didn't take all the trouble to create those dragons to lose them the next moment!
'Ding! It's starting to hit here.'
The moment the system said his words, Arthur felt a soft rumble all over the place. He and his dragons stood erect in their places while everyone of his enemy seemed to stand on soft sand; they started to tremble and even lose their balance.
"Hahaha, my star map is just a monster," he laughed while aiming for those still standing, "follow me," he gave the order and started moving to the front while his dragons followed.
Each time they crossed a couple of stars, Arthur set them loose over those fallen on the ground. The massacre continued for hours, and the main reason for this battle to take all that time was due to the constant reinforcements sent to aid this star map.
Yet after ten hours of fighting, his star map finally took over this one.
'Ding! The star map has already crushed the will of this one. This star map is now yours to control and it will slowly integrate into your main star map.'
"Great," Arthur laughed before adding, "make it seal the portals then. Only me is allowed to pass through."
'Ding! Done.'
As he sealed the route of further reinforcements, he managed to clear all the hostiles here in less than twenty minutes. "Phew, this was intense," he sighed as he glanced over the huge piles of dead monsters lying everywhere.
"It's a loss to leave these here," he started to move and take them all inside his garden. "Go back," he said to his dragons and the system made them all return to his garden.
"Give them some meat," he thought before adding, "they deserve getting stronger."
'Ding! This will make them take some time to evolve,' the system warned.
"Not an issue," Arthur sneered while taking back the normal arrows and replacing them with his deadly extermination arrows. "I plan to land upon them like death itself."
Arthur then selected one star randomly and jumped into it. The moment he appeared there he found what he expected; the entire place was filled with monsters to the brim!
These monsters had hyena's heads with long slender bodies that had many thick scales and a lot of slim flexible arms. They had a tail with feathers, where these feathers kept spraying something in the air.
"Tsk, new kind of monsters, what a nice welcoming party you are," he didn't waste his time here as he moved his wings and directly exited through the central opening high in the ceiling.
The world outside wasn't any different than what he met inside the warehouse. "Let's create some bangs," he laughed before releasing his arrows everywhere.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The entire world shook, and his arrows started a tsunami of destruction in a very large stretch of lands. This world was much bigger than usual, yet he managed to clear most of those standing between him and the pillar.
"Kill them all!" Arthur released a couple of arrows towards the pillar, which started to resonate at first then exploded with a mighty and domineering aura.
A total wipe out occurred to those around it, and Arthur just placed his blood over the pillar, making the eyes of the master show up.
"Wow, you took a while to come here," the master said before glancing everywhere. "They seem so much excited to see you."
Arthur laughed with the master before the master said: "go and grab the pillar, you still have thousands left." He paused before adding, "did Alfonso pay what he owes to you?"
"No, he still didn't," Arthur shook his head while recalling that sly master.
"Hahaha, I just hoped you'd say so," yet the master seemed quite amused by this, "leave this to me, and I promise you'll hear good news soon."
"Thanks for the help, master."
"Don't bother, it's what the master should do, not like that Alfonso, hehehe."
Arthur just smiled as he started taking the pillar by channeling the energy towards his garden. He then retreated and when he entered the warehouse, he noticed it was totally empty of any resources.
"Those stingy bastards! Did they empty the warehouse in each world?"
It was Arthur's five hundred worlds when he found the warehouse empty as well. He was enraged like never before, as he depended on those tiny resources to pile up to form giant mountains he could use later on.
"Where the hell have they stored everything?" he shook his head when he appeared back in the star map. "Is it in the central star? That hyena clan headquarter?" he muttered before having some rationality back to him. "Tsk, I can't attack that place alone right now."
'Ding! Told you, these two are handy,' the system said.
"and annoying as hell!"
'Ding! Nothing comes free in this world, right?'
"Unfortunately you are absolutely right," Arthur couldn't refute his system before adding, "to the next world then."
