Chapter 985 - Let's Expand This!

In front of Arthur's eyes, the entire purple energy finally got control over the mecha. The mecha's body started to float in midair while being modified by the effect of the special energy.

The first thing to change was the outer surface of the mecha itself. It started to elongate and dent at places while forming spikes and concave shapes. The mecha seemed to change its outer appearance in a strange way.

But Arthur was sure these changes weren't just limited to the outer surface of the mecha. Yet he couldn't tell what was changing in the core until things settled down.

The mecha started to grow in size, while a layer of purple metal appeared to cover its surface. Two wings were formed just like what happened with Arthur plus a strong looking long horn that came out from the head of it.

"Boom!"

The changes took roughly half an hour before it finally stopped. A long purple and black cape appeared on the back of the mecha while its size was doubled.

Yet during all this, Arthur didn't hear Nara scream or show any sign of getting harm. That made him more reassured about his idea from earlier.

When he thought about making his army stronger, he had two options. Either he would strengthen his mages or the mechas themselves.

If he gave such power to the mages, then they wouldn't show any difference in battle. They weren't the ones flying, but mechas were. They weren't the ones fighting, mechas were.

So he didn't take long to decide to use the black curtains over the mechas, not the mages. This way he would end up with a really elite army of special mechas.

As for the problem of covering up all the mechas with his black curtain, it was getting solved by now.

"How do you feel?" Arthur couldn't wait any longer as he instantly asked the moment the transformation ended.

"I'm… Fine, I think," Nara said in hesitation as she didn't feel any pain or discomfort at all.

"Try using your mecha then," Arthur knew that she was fine. But he wanted to ask about the mecha, "use its abilities and see if there is any difference."

"Wow!!!" Just as he requested, Nara operated the mecha and made it fly. Usually mechas flew at a good speed, but now her mecha was like an eagle compared to before.

Her speed was least described as scary! The moment she took off with her mecha, a gust of wind erupted like it was some sort of behemoth taking off the ground and flying!

Then she vanished from Arthur's sight as if she was teleported!

"Damn! This mecha is now able to fly as fast as me!" Arthur couldn't contain his delight before flying as well after her.

Just after the initial launch, Nara stopped her mecha midair as she felt scared.

"Use the attacks," Arthur said, "use them over there," he pointed towards an empty piece of land inside the garden world.

"Are you… sure?" Nara was hesitant, "this mecha seemed a bit strange."

"It's an evolved one," Arthur said in joy, "just release your weapons and let's see what changes they got."

"…"

The next moment Nara activated her weapons. Many missiles were launched while her mecha took out its metallic sword.

But this sword looked different from before! It was like a real sword shimmering with great strength!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

And the missiles Nara launched just hit the ground and caused catastrophic damage.

'Make her stop!' Gege instantly interfered, 'I'm barely keeping this place intact! Her weapons are domineering!!'

"Hahahaha," Arthur laughed when he heard that, "I love domineering women!"

"…"

But his words were received in totally different meanings by Nara. If not for her hiding inside the mecha, Arthur would see her flushed face with shyness.

"Now try transforming," Arthur asked. The transformation was something longly awaited and greatly anticipated by him.

Previously no matter how many trials were done, no mecha could sustain the transformation long enough to use it in battle.

The transformation was built upon Arthur himself, turning the mechas into dragons made of metal. But each time the mechas would end up with great damage and being crippled and ruined after using such ability.

But now Arthur had high hopes this mecha could do it.

"But…" Nara couldn't help but express her doubts. However Arthur stopped her as he said:

"Don't judge it like before. You saw it yourself. This mecha of yours is totally different and much stronger than the other version of it."

"…"

His words made quite sense, but she still felt great fear over her precious friend. However she couldn't refuse any order from her lord, from her man, from Arthur.

"If things went south, you can cancel the transformation anytime," Arthur said to reassure her before adding, "I won't let such a precious gem get ruined. Trust me."

"Alright," Nara finally got convinced, "I'll do it," she said before she took a deep breath and then started to transform.

And when that happened, Arthur couldn't help but drop his jaw out of shock! A very pleasant shock!

In front of him, a gigantic dragon appeared. The metal was bathing in purple energy, giving it a very intimidating feeling.

But the most amazing thing about it was that it could stay intact without any sign of breaking down like before. Arthur watched the dragon which reminded him of the one he summoned by his ability before.

The one he summoned from the dead body of the original. It was nearly like that one, making him feel he hit the jackpot this time.

"Hahahaha, this is like a dream coming true, hahaha," he couldn't help but laugh while Nara gazed up and checked her transformation.

"It's… Holding!" she said in surprise and Arthur kept laughing in delight.

"Test it out," Arthur demanded, "use your powers now!"

'No! this can't be done here!' but Gege instantly objected, 'take her out and let her destroy all the lands she wants. But not here! I don't like getting my precious body hurt!'

"Alright," Arthur grinned before looking at Nara and added, "let's leave this test for later. Now I want you to select the capable mechas first to evolve."

"We can use that fabric on others as well?" The tone of Nara looked totally different from the time she first saw the black curtain.

"Yes," Arthur nodded, "we can use a limited amount of black curtains for now. But soon we'll have unlimited supply of it."

Nara could tell that Arthur had a plan for that. And yet the idea of having more mechas to evolve was thrilling to her. Even if it was done on a limited scale, she wouldn't say no to such an offer.

"Give me a minute, my lord," she said, "and I'll come with my trusted elites."

"…"

Just before Arthur could offer the help of Gege, Nara vanished using her mecha's new speed. He watched her vanish from his sight before smiling.

"She is as impatient as me, hahaha!"
