Arthur's speed of flight wasn't slow by any means, so he managed to escape the descent of that pillar barely by hair breadth.
But the shockwave that followed after threw him far away.
"Damn, I was lucky nonetheless," he moved from the deep crater he created after falling and glanced at the gigantic pillar which leaned on one side and fell on the ground.
Luckily the pillar didn't fall upon his head.
But just before he could catch his breath, another pillar descended!
"Not giving me a space to breath? Let's see how you'll act then," Arthur's foe was ruthless, but he was much more ruthless than him.
This time he didn't evade far away, but moved directly towards his enemy while gulping as many healing pills as he could.
"Rumble!"
He managed to escape the attack of that pillar but was thrown like a feather inside a tornado directly towards the enemy fortified point.
"Not like this," he knew if he continued on this path he would end up hitting the shield and that would be much more brutal than falling to the ground.
After all the shield wasn't all defensive, he was pretty much sure of this.
"Neutralize my fall damn it!" he threw all the arrows he could in these mere seconds towards the distant pillar of George.
"Rumble!"
Just barely before he would hit the shield, the pillar's shockwave hit him with the explosion that managed to crack open the shield.
Yet his body was torn severely under the two opposing mighty forces and ended up landing in another deep crater with many deep wounds and exhausted strength.
"Not yet," Arthur didn't lean towards resting for a few minutes there to catch his breath. He knew his enemy wouldn't hesitate to use the pillar to crush him as long as he wasn't so near from him.
And he was absolutely correct.
"Another one? Bad for you I'm already this near and the shield is broken."
Arthur moved at a fast speed as usual while consuming meat and healing pills like breathing air. He didn't take much time to reach the camp, entering through one of the many holes in the shield around, and finally he was inside the fort.
And he wasn't the only one who managed to reach there.
"Use everything… kill everyone…" Doaf's scream came to Arthur even before bypassing the shield.
His elite forces were already so near by, and when the shield was broken they didn't hesitate to move, not wasting their young master's hard efforts.
Arthur didn't delay to use his strongest attacks; his breaths, his arrows, and his pillars as well.
"Watch out!"
This shout didn't come from any of his men, but from the huge army stationed inside the fort. Once entering there, a very brutal fight erupted and Arthur had all his focus on evading all kinds of attacks coming at him.
He didn't neglect healing up his body or replenishing his exhausted energy. But when he heard this shout, a very bad premonition came to his heart.
"Damn! You tried to kill me and ended up killing everyone!" Arthur was shocked to see the gigantic shadow of the pillar descending towards them as if the sky itself was falling. "Retreat… Retreat!"
He didn't hesitate to ditch everything behind and turned around and started flying fast while shouting at his men to disengage and retreat.
"Keep them in bait, don't let them retreat!"
Suddenly this strong shout came from the middle of enemy ranks while the next instant the disturbed army of the enemy started organizing themselves.
"Is he crazy?" Arthur was hit again with a dense curtain of attacks which managed to stop him in track. "Does he have a suicidal wish?"
'Most probably not,' the golden dragon said in a dignified sound, 'he must have an escaping ticket he would use now.'
"Damn!" Arthur evaded with all his might while he glanced around. All of his elite forces were entangled in brutal fights, unable even to take a breath! "I can't lose them," he muttered.
'He isn't the only one with an escape ticket,' suddenly Gege said, 'hang tight, I'll summon my portals just before the clash.'
Arthur's eyes shone brightly in blue light before viciously laughing. "Gege… I love you girl, hahaha."
'You are such a heartless one y'know,' she complained before adding, 'and I love you brick headed dragon.'
"Hahaha," Arthur laughed before glancing over the falling pillar, "I have less than a minute," he turned his gaze towards the source of the previous shout where he finally spotted his enemy.
To be honest he was inwardly shocked by that dragonair. He wasn't any much older than him apparently, yet he was standing there in the middle of all this chaos and death while being collected and calm.
"He… isn't a simple one at all," Arthur felt a deep threat coming from this man, "I need to try."
He didn't hesitate to turn around and start to move towards his deadly enemy. "System, control my two pillars, let them be just on top of his head when activated."
'Ding! Roger that.'
Arthur knew his window was very slim but he didn't want to leave here before trying. It was just one shot and he decided to make it right.
So he just faked trying to escape again while getting closer to his enemy under the concentrated fire from everyone.
"Kill him, or don't let him escape," the youth shouted again and Arthur wanted just to curse him and his entire family for this.
His enemies didn't need any instructions to attack him more. "Are you worried about me? You better do," Arthur inwardly sneered while he started to take many hits from everywhere.
'Ding! Twenty seconds,' the system warned and Arthur didn't stop launching arrows towards the two pillars.
"Trying to stop heaven itself from crushing you? Hahaha, you are really funny," the youth seemed amused while watching Arthur using his entire power to activate the two pillars.
