"It's weird how allies turn into enemies," Arthur muttered to himself before glancing over the seven standing not far and fighting their way towards the depth of the base.
The fight was brutal, as Mr. E wanted to destroy the base before any reinforcements arrived. The last battle showed to him how close these dark clans had become in this world.
And that was a bad sign for him.
"Won't you go and aid?" Arthur asked the two beauties standing on his sides.
"Not now," Amanda simply answered.
"After the end of the battle," Cesile smiled before adding, "have you gone bored of us so soon?"
"Hehehe, I'll be tired of you two," and he playfully replied.
"Watch out!"
Suddenly Amanda shouted and the next thing happened was for the two of them to move their bodies to stand in front of a sudden rain of arrows that just came in hot from the middle of the air.
And Cesile just pushed Arthur to the ground, sending him flying a couple of meters to the back.
"Damn! Girls can be tough sometimes," he said while standing up from the ground and watching what was going on.
"Who is attacking?" he asked and the wrong people answered.
"Hidden enemy," Amanda said.
"Stay behind and don't move," Cesile ordered.
'Ding! I sense the presence of a hundred enemies hidden from the sight around you three.'
The answer of his system was what he aimed for. "Watch out, there are a hundred of them," he suddenly said and the two girls were speechless for a moment there. "Trust me,' he shouted yet it was too late.
'Ding! Ten are coming from your back, just aim your arrows and I'll help you guide them.'
Instantly Arthur took out his bow and normal arrows in front of the vigilant girls and turned to face his rear before launching dozens of them towards the air.
For the girls, he was doing something crazy, but for him he trusted his system and his own scout ability.
As he sent them loose, he started controlling them one by one. However his ability to control many arrows at the same time was limited to seven.
So he hit seven, sending their bodies crashing like fallen rocks towards the surrounding trees. Yet he missed three of them!
"Damn, there are three still coming," he inwardly cursed and the best action was to retreat towards the girls.
But the three were faster than him.
"Where do you think yourself going?" a sound suddenly erupted while a slash of sword hit the place the sound came from, instantly killing its owner.
"We are just the messengers," another spoke and gained another slash of Cesile's sword.
"Go and meet the sender," the third just said and he had his fate not much different than the others, but the three did their job.
And Arthur felt a strange suction force coming up the next moment, sending his body away through an instant portal the three summoned.
"Hurry!" Amanda moved and also Cesile, yet the portal was meant to tolerate only one transfer. So it crashed one second before reaching it.
The two girls stood in their place not knowing what just happened, or how they were outplayed like this.
"Using our only combined weakness," Amanda muttered in extreme rage.
"It's strange," Cesile said before shaking off her head, "it's like someone already very familiar with our style of fighting. It's suspicious," she added, while glancing over the same direction like Amanda.
"Let's go," Amanda ruthlessly said, "we have traitors to interrogate, and disciple to save."
"A disciple?" Cesile chuckled before hurrying after her, "he is more than that."
Arthur was sent flying for a couple minutes through a portal. "Can you ascertain my destination?" he asked, "is it away from this world?" he added.
'Ding! I can't tell where you are going, but considering the small energy in this portal I can tell you can't be moving outside this world.'
"Great," Arthur smiled viciously as the picture of the seven appeared in his mind. "It's not easy to fool the two masters of them; they are the culprits."
'Ding! What do you plan to do?'
"Assemble the dragon army of mine," he said before adding, "and prepared a corpse for me to transform."
'Ding! It's ready.'
"Great," Arthur then closed his eyes and the next second he appeared inside his garden. He directly went towards the central part of it, to find his small and gigantic army of dragons waiting.
And a single corpse was lying there with its body parts being smashed to many bits.
"It's impressive how you recognize all the pieces of one corpse," Arthur commented before landing directly over the corpse. "Use the ability in row."
'Ding! Done!'
The sudden appearance of him with the pulses of energy he kept releasing attracted every single dragon's attention here. They patiently waited for him to finish, and a third gigantic dragon appeared.
"We'll have a brutal fight soon, be ready to be deployed," he simply said those words before hearing the alarming sound of the system:
'Ding! You are almost there.'
He didn't say anything more as he opened his eyes and returned to the portal. In front of him, a small opening of light appeared that kept increasing in size rapidly.
"It's time," he muttered and the next moment he landed heavily on the ground. It was a dark cold ground made entirely of strange ore.
"Welcome to your death arena, abomination," Arthur heard these mocking words coming from his back. He stood erect and glanced all around without any speck of worry or fear.
He was in a huge arena that seemed too old to be recently built for him. "What is this place? A museum for weird creatures?" he laughed when he noticed the presence of a myriad of monsters in the ground and in the air.
Plus a number of forty youths with their own team of monsters as their special guards.
