Arthur stood patiently watching his werewolf battering the gate while taking all kinds of attacks. "This is a bit too much to be honest," he sighed when he saw all the attacks his werewolf endured so far.
"It's a blessing to have him though," he had to admit as the werewolf took a lot of damage off his shoulders. If Arthur was there, he was pretty much sure he wouldn't manage to evade or endure all these attacks.
"Cling!"
Finally the gate got broken down and a sound of a rang occurred as if it was a bell. Arthur didn't watch the gate but Sandy who seemed a bit restless and slightly overexcited.
"C'mon," Sany said, "we need to go down there and explore things fast."
"Why?" Arthur moved after him while asking in suspicion.
"This room is very sacred, I believe some even said it was linked to the guardian clan of the academy."
Arthur understood what he was pointing to. "They will send reinforcements?"
"I suppose," Sandy said, "or these might end up as mere fairy talks."
He laughed but Arthur didn't believe in such a scenario. "Those from higher planes will arrive here," he muttered to himself before hurrying downward to reach the gate in no time, faster than Sany.
"What is that?"
The moment he reached there he found no room inside but an entire world. "Is this… a pocket world?"
'Amazing,' Gege suddenly said, 'it's something similar to me!'
'What?' Arthur couldn't believe himself, 'is there a guardian to kill as well?'
'I… can't sense anything protecting or shielding this place,' Gege said in an excited tone, 'Amazing, you can let me absorb it, please.'
Arthur stopped while an evil smile appeared on his face. Just as he was about to think about some evil requirements, the system suddenly acted and brought forth his dragons.
'Ding! Watch out! That Sany is attacking you.'
Arthur turned around to see Sany had already changed into a gigantic monster. He wasn't anyway less than his werewolf in size or the vibe he emitted. "Who are you?" he calmly asked while watching this enemy in his true colors.
He was a giant hippo with long wings and a group of horns in front of his head. He had scales covering every single inch for his body, and two long and curved fangs.
"I have to thank you," Sany laughed in vicious way, "for me I can't crack open this place as I was bound by some stupid ancient seal. But you cracked the gate open and now I can easily enter it…"
He paused before a vicious expression appeared on his face, "but first let me properly thank you by sending you on your way…die!"
The next moment Arthur felt the entire world around him shook as the rock started to change. They melted down like being exposed to high temperature and the melted fluid just gathered together to form different sizes of thorns.
"You seem pretty confident," Arthur smirked as he simply snapped his fingers. 'What do you need to absorb it?' Arthur said to Gege before adding, 'but you need to pay the corresponding price for that.'
'My body is already yours,' Gege said in an excited tone, 'and also my soul. You can't dream of anything better, right?' she paused and when she noticed the expression of Arthur she hurriedly added, 'all I need is a drop of your blood containing my pearl's energy.'
'Got it,' Arthur then stimulated his pearl energy and his body shone brightly in golden color.
"Trying to fight me?" Sany laughed in mockery, "you are too early to fight me kid. And your annoying guards from higher worlds are far from here. Before they could arrive here I'll be inside the world and already ruling it. no one will ever be able to touch me inside. Hehehe, I'll be god!"
Arthur didn't speak as he took out his sword and cut a deep wound in his palm. 'The blood is all yours.'
'Thanks,' Gege said in an extremely happy manner, 'my lovely system, can you please help me and move this blood inside?'
'Ding! Alright, provided that Arthur agrees.'
'Granted.'
Sany watched the blood moving from Arthur's palm towards the garden. "What are you trying to pull? Sigh, like this I'll have to kill you fast and not toy a little with you."
Arthur didn't speak as the werewolf stepped forward and shielded him. "You won't touch him."
"Scram you pathetic worm," suddenly Sany appeared just next to the werewolf where he took out a giant club and hit the werewolf hard with it. The werewolf took the hit and the next instant his body flew like a broken kite to hit the nearby rocky walls.
"Your turn kid," Sany turned to Arthur but the next moment he found no one there. "Where are you little kids? Don't tell me we are going to play hide and seek, hehehe."
"I'm here," Arthur appeared just at the place where the gate was, inside the garden world. "Come if you dare," he provocated Sany and the latter never thought anything might happen as he moved fast towards Arthur.
"Boom!"
Yet the next instant Sany's body hit an invisible wall and got entangled there. "Damn you, how could you fix the sealing wall so soon?" Sany was shocked and a look of fear appeared on his face, "please spare me, I can help you a lot. I… I can be even your slave, loyal and helpful. I won't break a single command from you, just let me go, please."
Arthur didn't know how this shield appeared but just as the werewolf was hit, Gege's voice came to tell him to enter the garden and stand at its entrance.
'You did a marvelous job,' he said before adding, 'can I enslave him?'
'I don't recommend this,' the golden dragon said, 'this treacherous guardian waited all these years to backstab the academy. Once a backstabber always is a backstabber; just kill him and be free from the worry and trouble he would bring forth.'
'Ding! I too agree on the golden dragon's point of view.'
'And me too.'
'Sigh,' Arthur shook his head before glancing at Sany, "Sorry man, I tried," he simply said that before the next instant the invisible shield turned solid and the fearful look on Sany's face got intensified.
"Please, I'll be your slave, your loyal dog. I won't betray you, please save me, ple…"
His pleading shouts were cut in the middle by the shield which engulfed his gigantic body and the next instant the entire world got into deafening silence.
