"Wrap things up, we need to move."


    Arthur shouted at Sara to make her nce back with a ring look at him. "It''s not thest one you will kill, so save some of your hatred for the rest," he said as he took back the about toin scorpion queen, who was having the fun of her life watching this brutality.


    "Tsk, alright," Sara unwillingly agreed as she dealt a deadly blow to her foe before leaning over its body, took the head of it, stored it inside her storage item, then flew following Arthur and Tina.


    "Couldn''t you take much more time? I didn''t have much time for revenge!"


    Tina was the one to turn and nce over to her; eyeing her with a weird look. Arthur just shrugged and said nothing about her words. "How can we take this castle away?" he asked, as this topic was the thing he needed to concern himself mostly right now.


    "It''s simple, we just need to take a tour around the castle, where the defensive arrays main nodes are; then I will insert a wisp of my soul into each node, then the castle will be ours."


    "And you won''t tell us anything about this legendary castle?" Tina asked, prepared to go on a long fight with her. But, Sara was now having some inner peace after venting over that monster, so she was generous and didn''t follow Tina''s trap. "You will know everything soon," she simply replied like that, ignoring the mocking tone in Tina''s words.


    "Do you know the ces of these nodes?" Arthur asked, ignoring this girls'' fight.


    "Well, this might be a slight problem," Sara muttered, "the nodes keep changing their location constantly so no one could tell any outsider about their ces."


    "No pattern?"


    "Not one, all random."


    "Sigh! So how do you n to find it?"


    "Simply by using the most basic technique," she giggled and said no more. Arthur just nced over her, and sighed again. it seemed thest fight had changed something in her personality, making her less restless and quite collected.


    They flew for hours heading towards the castle, which greatly astonished Arthur. He thought the castle was quite near, but he was proven wrong!


    "Let''s stop here, it''s a suitable distance," Sara suddenly said, as she stood in the air, pping her wings, while ncing around her like she was looking for something.


    "Anything?" Tina asked, in an annoyed tone as during the flight she tried to tease Sara more than once but failed.


    "…"


    Sara didn''t respond, and after a few minutes she moved towards a certain direction before cutting a small wound using her ws.


    "Sizzle!"


    The moment her blood dropped off her wound, a sizzling sound came from the front, like thousands and thousands of lightning arcs were heading directly towards them. Arthur was prepared for any fight, and Tina was just ncing at the scene with a mocking look over her face.


    The next moment the sound stopped when a strange deformity urred in the air in front of them, showing arge mouth, a mouth Arthur was so familiar with.


    "Isn''t this…?" Tina asked, and Arthur just patted on her head to shut up. The two mouths were identically the same, but this one was made out of pure light, while that of the enve curse was made out of darkness.


    The two were the same, butpletely different!


    The mouth opened widely as it engulfed her blood and then it vanished in thin air like it wasn''t there a moment ago.


    "Let''s move to the next node," Sara said, while moving to the east. Tine raised her head in question and Arthur just knocked on her with his fist. "Follow her, c''mon," he said.


    Tina just mumbled something as she went directly after Sara.


    What happened here happened one hundred times! They circled around the castle, and the area they covered was really vast! As Sara said before, they took two and half days to finallyplete a whole circle.


    And when they did, nothing happened!


    "Is there anything wrong?" Arthur asked as Sara stood silent for over an hour now, ncing stubbornly towards the front without taking a single step forward.


    "This castle… sigh!" she only said that before turning to face Arthur as she exined:


    "The next generations changed some of the rules. now they don''t only need a royal soul bloodline, they also need a royal soul!"


    Arthur nced at her without understanding her meaning –again! she noticed his bizarre look so she exined:


    "They need someone currently ruling over a territory! I no longer rule over anything, so I can''t crack this stupid shield and obtain the castle!"


    Arthur understood her meaning while Tina jumped her butt; as usual, as she hurriedly said:


    "Why are you so sad? We have Willy here, he is more than enough toplete this condition."


    Arthur nced at Sara, as Tina also did –both with skeptical looks. The hesitation Sara had made Arthur doubted her intentions. She didn''t intend to give him the castle, or to be specific the entirety of it!


    "That''s not the issue!" Sara said in a defensive tone, "If he wanted to crack the shield and obtain the castle, he has to own a huge storage item, something that will only be made out of pure light energy, or else the castle will bacsh and attack him, nearly killing him! it''s risky, quite risky!"


    Arthur and Tina exchanged silent nces together; it wasn''t apparent if her worries were real or fake. However, either way Tina knew well enough that Arthur could easily aplish this task!


    "Is there any other condition?" he calmly asked, trying to prevent a faint smile from appearing over his face.


    "No, but this condition is nearly impossible! You need to have a ce that can hold the whole vast space of this castle and thends we just took over two days to circle around! And would be made entirely of pure light energy!"


    Arthur didn''t speak much as he simply asked:


    "What should I do?"


    "Are you crazy or what?!!" she bellowed at him, and this time it was Tina who replied to her, with a sneer:


    "Don''t belittle your master tiger girl, he is much more capable than you think!"


    Sara nced at Tina then at Arthur to realize he had something to satisfy the needs of this shield. "Sigh, alright, you need to drop your blood and the final node wille to ingest, test, and approve or kill you."


    She said while moving to the side, clearing a path for him to stand in her initial ce. He moved, and stood in a different spot before making a wound over his body with his wing ws.


    "Rumble!"


    This time a huger mouth made out of pure golden white light came to swallow his blood. The next moment a rumble urred, and the castle with the whole ce around it shook, to be covered in a thick veil of fog, before everything became unclear in front of his eyes.


    ''Your artifact!''


    Suddenly this venerable monotonous voice rang in his mind, and instantly he muttered:


    "My heavenly garden ne."


    ''Drop your blood drop over it!''


    The source came again, instructing him what to do. Just as he was about to wound himself again, as his previous wound healed itself, the mouth opened wide and the drop it took before came out.


    Arthur understood the meaning of it, and thus he put his returned drop with a drop of his own blood as well.


    He wasn''t sure if this was right or this was a trap, but he wouldn''t lose anything to be more cautious.


    Nothing happened next except for the mouth to move directly towards the ne, vanished into it, taking the whole castle along with it.


    "Sigh, so you actually had something to take the whole castle; impressive!"


    Sara muttered, and her tone expressed how depressed she was. Arthur just nced silently at her before she added, after noticing the direct doubting and questioning res of Tina:


    "I just wanted to obtain this sacred heritage of my people; what''s wrong in that?"


    "You belong to my man, and thus anything you have belonged to him as well!"


    "He isn''t yet… my man as yours!" Sara refused to retreat this time, and like that the two girls returned to fighting each other using words once more.


    Arthur wasn''t in the mood to listen or intervene between them; as he closed his eyes and started observing the heavenly garden and that huge new territory added to it with such a grand mountain and huge castle resting over its peak.


    "The mere sight of it rings bells of lost memories of my sect, sigh!" he shook his head before heading directly towards the castle.. "Let''s see if you deserve all this fuss or not," he muttered as he started diving deeply into the castle, exploring each inch in it.
