Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

The team had already created hundreds of spears, using the help of their pythons. Seeing all preparations were in place, Arthur smiled as he said:

"It's time, let's instigate the wrath of every single monster here."

He said, as he took out patches of rocks and lined them in specific locations around the interior of this wooden wall. Once finished, under the observing gazes of everyone, he finally explained his plan:

"These rocks are the same which I used in my forging before. You will have a fire pit nearby, and before any great numbers of monsters, you ignite them and threw them towards these monsters," he then stressed, "beware, these rocks are highly explosive, if you can't handle them, or will be delayed by anything, then just don't use them at all."

His words meant only one thing, the situation they would face was really dangerous. They just nodded, silently, expressing their understanding of his clear warning.

"Are we going to fight a huge number of monsters?" Ouly asked, trying to get more insight into Arthur's plan.

"Not only a huge number, we will face angry herds of monsters all day and night," he said.

"How can we attract them then?" Madly asked, doubting their ability to do so.

"We will use this," Arthur said, before he touched the clear large centre area of this hill top. Suddenly, a large monster carcass appeared, like another hill on top of the one they were on. Once they appeared, they heard a faint sound, followed by violent unending roars coming from everywhere around them.

They panicked, while Arthur laughed from his heart content. As he suspected, the presence of this heavenly treasure would instigate every single monster in this place. they would do anything to lay their hands over this rock, and they wouldn't listen to any order of any monster, except if it was truly a higher grade monster, and he doubted the presence of such one here.

Whoever was strong enough, went to rival the python queen on that treasure, leaving the adjacent area filled with weaker monsters, monsters Arthur was sure of his team's ability to face.

"It's showtime," he muttered happily, and excitedly, in a way he never felt before. He ran towards the wall, with Don in his tail, and others started to diverse around the place, each protecting a place with his or her monster.

Lily undone the summoning of Birdy, and summoned her other pet. One person with one pet, this was the line of defense they got right now. Arthur watched the incoming wave of monsters, formed from massive body behemoths, even larger than Don in body size, and the smile over his face got wider and brighter.

'Now, I'm sure we won't lack meat for so long.'

Arthur didn't put these huge monsters in his eyes, as he wanted monsters that could make a difference to his team. He dreamt of lions, tigers, or panthers to be the next pets for everyone. These pets would act as a boaster to their strengths, not just adding a single power here or there without much change to their strength.

"Listen up," he yelled, as it was time for his experience in battles to kick in, "first use the spears, the arrows, and try to aim for the monster's eyes and heads. We don't aim to kill them all, just injure them, and leave the rest to me," he said, before adding, "if they got near us, then we had to use the rocks lying next to you. Don't panic, don't falter, just be sure of yourself and trust these rocks to do the job. If the monsters came close to the wall, then your pets could kick in. First, they would use their horns abilities to ignite strong fiery attacks on the monsters, then they could go out and battle the monsters in a group battle. Finally, if a monster manages to cross you, I will act as your last line of defense, helping you in the fight. Tarry would act as our ace, facing any strong and dangerous monster head on, and the rest keep it to me."

He was detailed this time in lying out the strategy, which was very simple for him, much complicated for others. The incoming monsters didn't give them anytime to process these info, as they were closing up fast.

Arthur took out his bow, and went up the monster carcass in no time, leaving Don behind to act as a defender in his spot. Arthur was now the highest person here, seeing everything clearer than anyone else.

And his arrows started to rain endlessly, aiming precisely for the monsters' eyes, blinding them, and making them lose their balance, fall on slippery ground, falling downhill, to be stumped, mercilessly, with the incoming monsters.

Without knowing it, the monsters acted as a grinder for the fallen monsters from above the hill. Arthur used this strategy as he wanted to clear as many monsters as he could without facing them head on, plus the monsters which could survive such brutal grinding, would act as a good candidate for future petting.

Arthur was the first to act, but soon Lily joined in, followed by others. Though the monsters were fervently clashing towards the top of the hill, not caring about any defense or even simple evasion to the incoming arrows and spears, their numbers didn't decrease, instead it kept increasing.

"Keep it calm, we are doing great!"

Moral was a crucial, tricky element in determining the success and failure of any battle. Arthur didn't miss this point, as he kept encouraging his team, making them feel proud of what they were doing.

Soon, the numbers of monsters ascending the hill exceeded their capacity to hold using arrows and spears only, so Arthur finally yelled:

"Use the rocks, ignite the tree leaves there and throw them fast."

Each rock was extracted from the same ore vein he discovered previously. He soaked them into the huge pool of explosive oil inside his ring. The ring advantage kicked in, brilliantly, as he could now control the huge reserve he collected from the vein there, and create as many explosive rocks as he wanted.

As for collecting these rocks, it was easy. He just had to touch the vein, and the absorption force of the ring kicked in and took a big bite of it. he repeatedly did it, until he couldn't unearth the vein anymore using this method.

He took a lot of long, dry tree leaves, like broad hair, and wrapped them tightly around each rock. This action could be done for a long time and might take huge effort, however it didn't take anything at all when he did it inside his ring.

So, all they had to do now was to just ignite the leaves, using the pits he took out from his storage ring, and threw them over the wall, as strongly as they could, so they would travel as long as they could.

The first to act was Madly, followed by Ron. As both trusted Arthur very much, and Madly, specifically, knew how much of an impact these explosive rocks would cause.

As the two explosive rocks flew in the air, with a long thin line of smoke creating a long trail in the air, everyone was attracted to see what these small weird rocks might do.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"
