Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 994 – Unveiling The Secret About The Toxic Fog

Arthur didn't call off his assault or waited for the result of the toxin and antidote analysis. He wanted to consume the strength of his enemies during that time.

After all, the enemies weren't sitting idle. The islands kept following the cannons and ground troops, trying to smash them all.

In addition to that, the reinforcements were drawing closer to here with each passing hour.

As Arthur knew the research about the toxin and the antidote might take days, he couldn't possibly call off the assault and wait.

So he let his troops attack and smash the shields of these islands before getting poisoned by the toxin.

'Are we going to keep this?' Gege asked, 'so far the strength of these islands seemed to be weakened. The time for the shield regeneration tripled already and the toxin inside needed a long time to affect our troops. But we are losing a lot already.'

"There is no harm in losing some fodder," Arthur calmly said, "in return we'll save more lives later on."

'But those inside studying the dead bodies of our forces can't find anything yet! Two days have already passed and we have no result at all.'

Arthur thought he would get a few things during the past two days. But in return the geniuses inside stood helpless in front of such toxins.

"Let me in," he decided, "I'll work on it myself."

Arthur passed through the portal after insisting over continuing the assault as usual. Even if he didn't find anything useful soon, at least he would consume the energy of these islands and make them fall!

The only island that stood tall and didn't show any sign of weakness yet was the most important one here; the main base.

As expected, the dark angel grandmaster did his best to ensure its safety. That resourceful enemy seemed to be expecting such a scenario and was well prepared for it.

After all, even if Arthur and his troops surrounded the main base, without the ability to crush it and conquer it then it would be futile.

The main base's defensive plan was simple; it stood tall against any attack and kept itself safe, buying time until the reinforcements arrived.

As long as it wasn't breached, the siege would be pointless and surrounding it like this meant nothing.

In fact things looked like Arthur was the one to fall in the grandmaster's trap, not the opposite.

So deciphering the toxin and finding a solution to it became Arthur's top priority. After all, these islands didn't have any more traps but this one.

Arthur kept sending his troops and watched the ongoing fight with keen eyes. Nothing out of the ordinary. The only trap there was the toxin fog and nothing else.

'Ding! He might be stocking the other traps in case you broke the puzzlement of the toxin,' the system warned.

"I know," Arthur nodded, "but let's hope other traps aren't that deadly or hard to deal with."

All the troops Arthur sent didn't come back alive. Even the originals he sent, they were all dead.

And that made Arthur frown when he saw the dead bodies of the originals for the first time. He thought this toxin was going to take some time to act. But to kill even the mighty originals this fast meant it was nothing like what he expected.

And that was the main reason behind the inability of his geniuses to crack the toxin and discover its secrets. 

They worked on dead bodies, not alive and poisoned. So the toxin was decaying fast, and the effects of it over the bodies were vanishing faster.

Arthur didn't enter the garden world but the original world. As no one else knew more about the originals than him, he didn't let anyone study the original dead bodies.

"They didn't decay fast, good," as he reached there, he found the dead bodies of over three hundred originals waiting for him.

In fact he wasn't that sad about losing all these originals. After all, he was still making a lot with each passing hour using his secret way.

Plus these dead bodies would serve best as grand dragons later on.

"Activate the ability," he said while putting both hands over one dead body of the originals. Arthur wanted to know more about what happened, and who else would tell but the dead man himself?

The dragomancer ability worked and turned the dead body of that original into a majestic looking and alive grand dragon.

"Roar!" the dragon roared its first roar in this world while feeling its new strength. 

"Tell me what happened to you before death," Arthur didn't give the grand dragon the chance to enjoy his new power and asked directly what concerned him.

"Master," the grand dragon acknowledged Arthur first as he bowed with his gigantic body. "I was killed using a toxin made from our sacred flower."

"What?!!!" Arthur was shocked to hear that. He never expected the toxin to be derived from that cursed flower. "Tell me everything," he demanded while knowing now why his geniuses couldn't crack that secret of the toxin so far.

No one knew about that flower but him. And as far as he knew, that flower was one of the deepest secrets of this universe.

"The toxin is made by the essence of the sacred flower of our race," the grand dragon said, "but for some unknown reason, it killed me instead of evolving my power like legends said."

"…"

Arthur knew the truth here but he chose not to tell. Even if the original turned into such a grand dragon, he would still be an original in the core.

"Do you have any remnants of that power?" Arthur asked, "or a clue to how to stop it?"

"I don't have anything remnant of it," the grand dragon said, "the toxin vanished after my death as it analyzed into nothing by my purple energy."

"It got decomposed by the purple energy?!" the eyes of Arthur gleamed in bright blue light. "Thanks, I appreciate your help… Take me out now!"
