Arthur didn't want to risk fighting this bizarre monster. "Screw soul attacks, I really hate these," he cursed out loud while he finally managed to activate five hundred pillars in a record time of thirty seconds.
This was simply unbelievable even for him!
Just as he exceeded this threshold, the pillars finally managed to link their attacks together to form a gigantic bubble of milky white energy, compressing over that monster and breaking all of its tentacles without exception.
"More, press more, activate more," this time the golden dragon seemed more excited than scared.
"You know you look funny when scared," Arthur laughed while releasing more arrows.
"This mother*cker is the one who killed me back in the days. I can't let it live, I can't let you fight it, no one can tolerate its full power."
Just as the words of the golden dragon fell, the monster trapped inside seemed to be alarmed by Arthur's retaliation. Suddenly an endless number of creepy eyes opened all over its body, and it seemed like it was gathering up its energy.
"More, hit more," the golden dragon shouted before laughing, "curse you sucker, you are trapped now and won't be able to break free, hahahaha."
Arthur didn't comment on this bizarre attitude of the golden dragon, yet he understood why he was acting in such a way. As for him, he kept activating the pillars while his system kept releasing more.
Then it was time for the monster to retaliate.
The first thing the monster did was to start expanding, banging hard on the outer shell of pillars' energy.
Yet these attacks didn't manage to break Arthur's bubble, as he kept strengthening it while activating more pillars.
After long hours, and the activation of over five thousand pillars more than thrice, the monster finally gave up on smashing the bubble while it started to use another type of attack.
"What is it doing?" Arthur asked in doubt when he noticed the monster's tentacles getting together and forming long and thick spears.
"It's trying to absorb your energy," the golden dragon muttered before breaking into a wave of laughter, "yeah, go, do it dummy."
"…"
"…"
"At my mark I want you to move the pillars, the bubble, and the monster inside into the garden," the golden dragon said in such a domineering tone.
"Ding! Watch out, you aren't my master!"
"Arthur?" The golden dragon wasn't in the mood to argue with the system.
"Sigh, just do as he asks," Arthur sighed, "let's see where this all will end."
"Don't worry," the golden dragon excitedly said, "I promise you will be satisfied with this."
"I hope," Arthur muttered while releasing more arrows towards the pillars.
The monster took ten minutes to form out his new spears. They weren't endless like the number of his tentacles, yet they were in hundreds.
"Steady… wait… it's coming… just hold for a minute…" the golden dragon kept muttering this like he was speaking to himself.
"…"
"…"
The moment the monster sent its spears to hit the bubble around, Arthur noticed these spears weren't acting to penetrate the bubble, instead they were trying to merge their tips with it.
"What is it trying to do?" Arthur muttered in doubt.
"Trying to link itself with your bubble's energy, then to your pillars to control them," the golden dragon said.
"Wait a minute," Arthur suddenly shouted, "you don't want to do that?"
"Hehehe, it's the case indeed," the golden dragon laughed before adding, "be ready system, the fat cat is about to fall in the trap."
"…"
"…"
The next minutes more of the spears got attached to the bubble and merged slowly with it. When all the spears were linked with the bubble, the monster seemed like it was hanged in the middle of the air with hundreds of thick arms.
"Now, send us in now," the golden dragon shouted, and the next moment Arthur was sent inside his garden.
"This is the outer region of my garden," Arthur recognized this place at once while adding, "isn't it better to enter the heart of the garden?"
"Ding! It's not my decision," the system said before adding, "Ding! The garden decided this, not me."
"Any place is useful," the golden dragon laughed before adding, "now hurry, link the pillars deep to the garden."
"Ding! They are linked already."
"No, not enough," the golden dragon hurried to add, "you need to make them literally deeply rooted inside the garden."
"Ding! To take them under the surface perhaps?"
"Directly towards the end of the garden, hurry."
"Ding! I'll try, but the garden has its own will now," the system said.
"Don't worry, the garden is much wiser than you."
"…"
Arthur stood patiently watching everything unfolding without moving a finger. Just as the system started to push the pillars deeper, the entire garden rumbled and the next thing happened was for everything here to instantly vanish.
"What's just happened? Where are my precious pillars?" Arthur hurriedly asked while turning around to inspect the area with no clue about his pillars or the captured monster.
"Hahaha, the cat is already trapped, and now your garden will grow nine lives to it, hahaha."
The golden dragon words didn't make any sense at all to Arthur.
"Ding! The garden swallowed them all and now they are being condensed deeply in the heart of this area," the system finally spoke after long minutes of silence.
"Is it turning now like the Golam?" Arthur asked.
"Ding! No, it's growing into something entirely different," the system answered before pausing for more minutes, "Ding! The garden wants to be linked directly to your soul."
"To my soul?" Arthur muttered before adding, "isn't it already connected to my soul?"
"No kid, this is totally different," the golden dragon was in such a perfect mood that he even spoke with laughter, "your garden is evolving like nothing before. Do as it asks, and you'll be much surprised."
Arthur shrugged as he said, "alright, what does it want?"
