Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 717 - Kiting Down The Mages

"Relay the news to Doaf and Amera," he suddenly said, "make them know how effective this array is and let them use it to kill their enemies."

'Ding! Do you want them to study this phenomenon first hand?'

'Good thinking!' Gege cheered, 'I believe they would see through what's happening here in no time.'

"Just spread the word to them," Arthur said while noticing a small group of enemies stopping just at the border of the array, looking hesitant and quite terrified.

"And take them in," he casually pointed to those few numbers of enemies that didn't exceed fifty in total, "then send me towards the portal."

'I left a portal dormant there,' Gege said in a proud tone, 'I can send you there in one move.'

"Then do it after you finish them off."

It didn't take a minute to take inside all fifty of them. They tried to run away and escape with their lives, but eventually they failed.

"Let's start another round, shall we?" Arthur evilly laughed when appearing in front of the portal.

He saw small numbers of enemies passing through the portal. The next moment Gege started doing her magic, and this time they needed longer time to adapt and figure out the way to overcome Gege's traps.

"Let's take them to the array," Arthur said the moment a large number of enemies appeared from the portal at the same time.

He tried to withstand as long as he could, but right now there were thousands of enemies flying off the portal, something that never happened before.

'Ding! It's their main army I suppose,' the system said while Arthur kept jumping off the distance to his array through multiple portals.

'Let them come,' Gege laughed in strange excitement, 'Doaf and Amera are now stationed inside the array.'

"Have they shaken off their enemies?" Arthur asked.

'They trapped a large number of them already,' Gege confirmed his guess, 'but another part is still loose.'

"So I should expect a full assault, right?" he turned to spot the pursuing army of enemies that kept growing at an alarming rate.

'Ding! I doubt they will fall in the same trap this easily,' the system warned.

"Let Doaf and Amera out," Arthur said, "let them spread out the enemies and stretch them over a large area."

'Roger that.'

Arthur kept flashing towards the array while the enemies kept relentlessly chasing him.

'Some of them aren't coming,' Gege suddenly said, 'they seem to group together. I think they are planning something.'

Arthur was now very far off the portal, so he couldn't clearly see what his enemies were preparing. "How many are there?"

'Thousands so far,' Gege said, 'I believe they will hit the mark of ten thousand in less than ten minutes.'

"Hmm… ten minutes are enough time then," Arthur muttered.

'Ding! What's the plan?' the system asked.

"The same old plan," Arthur shrugged, "divide and conquer."

He simply kept jumping off towards the array. As he stood in the middle of it, he watched thousands of those higher realm mages falling in the trap like moths getting burnt by fire.

"Some are still smarter than others," he noticed around a thousand mages retreating far away from the array. "Keep nagging them, we need to decrease their numbers."

'Amera and Doaf are being chased by a large number of enemies,' Gege suddenly said, 'do you want me to step in and help?'

"Nah, let them have all the fun they needed," Arthur calmly said before turning towards the direction of the portal, "we got something else to do."

'Ding! I doubt more of them would still fall in the trap.'

"Some will still be foolish no matter what," Arthur said, "besides our allies should arrive soon, right?"

'I hope so,' Gege muttered, 'or else we will be attacked mercilessly by them.'

"I doubt that," Arthur turned his gaze towards the rapidly retreating mages and the portals that kept flashing all the time and chasing them, "I believe they will run away from here, celebrating their safety."

'Ding! I believe that too.'

Arthur nodded and waited for the main part of the group that pursued him and fell into the trap to be killed. "Let's go," he muttered and the next moment he appeared just near the portal.

"Spread the portals," the place he appeared at was literally in the heart of all the enemy forces. He wasn't fazed by this and calmly moved around while a large number of portals kept cleaving the lives of those who were taken by surprise.

Yet much more managed to escape.

'Ding! Watch out!' the system shouted, 'Ding! They are attacking here.'

"Gege…" Arthur noticed the large number of those escaping his portals turning around and launching many attacks at him.

Yet the next moment his body kept flashing fast, disappearing for a brief moment inside the garden before reappearing again.

"Keep them busy," he said while keeping this state for long minutes, "don't let them catch their breaths or regroup."

Gege did a marvellous work while controlling her portals everywhere. The mages tried to evade the portals at any cost, leading to more of them falling inside the portals as a sacrifice for others to escape.

And that gave Arthur a window to breathe and measure the situation better.

"They aren't planning to retreat," he noticed their positioning and got a bad feeling about that.

'Ding! They are trying to ambush the incoming reinforcements.'

'They are mimicking you.'

"No one can copy me," Arthur sneered, "keep harassing them, we need to break whatever plan they had in motion."

'Ding! I doubt we can,' the system was slightly pessimistic, 'Ding! Their numbers are too much to handle.'

"Divide and conquer baby," Arthur laughed, "move me towards the array one step at a time."

'Hang tight then.'

Arthur was teleported the next moment away from the portal, yet not much followed him.

'Ding! Only a thousand moved after you,' the system told the obvious.

"I can tell," Arthur wasn't satisfied by this result, "keep attacking them with the portals, let's swallow up this one thousand," he said before pausing for a moment, "also take me around in circles, I don't want to be away from the action."

'Won't you retreat to the array?' Gege was surprised by his words.

"No need to," he glanced at the nearby portal and the large number of mages regrouping again, "just leave some portals dormant around."

She read his mind and understood what he was thinking about. 'Leave it to me,' she said before he was teleported to another spot, circling around the portal.

Gege kept attacking the one thousand mages relentlessly before they almost vanished. "Send me in," he said and without further ado she sent him again to appear in the heart of the mages.

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

Another wave of portals appeared all around, disturbing whatever these mages were planning to do.

Forced to retreat fast, the mages seemed quite pissed off yet Arthur was persistent and far more stubborn than what they initially thought.

Each time they flanked him, he escaped. Each thousand mages they sent after him Gege dealt with.

Then he would reappear once more in the middle of their ranks, causing enough chaos and disturbance while taking more of them inside the garden.

"This is fun," he couldn't help but laugh while watching the helpless look over their faces. "Either stay here and succumb to your fate or run away and maybe you will live," he shouted at them in a mocking tone, yet he was stating the truth.
