Otman did what Mr. E asked him for. he stood on guard with his pet roaring, standing next to him with Mr. E pet roaring as well; aiding in the guarding process, while watching Mr. E walking in strong steps away.


    Mr. E entered the area to find Arthur had already summoned hundreds of pirs, closely packed and neatly organized to surround the body of Amanda.


    "Make sure to arrange them in twelve headed star diagrams," Arthur said to his system which started to modify the pirs to match his requirements.


    Things started to develop fast when he took out more than five hundred pirs from his garden. The body of Amanda started to twitch while a strange dark fog dissipated from it.


    "ck curse?" Mr. E noticed this fog while muttering, "Or something else?" he wondered.


    His presence was noticed by Arthur who totally ignored him. He wasn''t sure he would be able to master this fight alone; so he didn''t mind an extra hand.


    As he took out all his pirs, the foging out of Amanda''s body thickened.


    "Laying them on a twelve headed diagram? Such offensive arrangement…" Mr. E wasn''t standing there doing nothing, as he deciphered what Arthur was doing in a short time. "I should help then," he started to move, while taking out more pirs and filling the emptiness with what he and Otman had.


    Arthur noticed his actions and didn''t object. "Can you link those to my garden?"


    ''Ding! Sure! But after that you can''t sever the link with the garden.''


    "No problem," Arthur smiled, "this is a bonus after all if any of these pirs survived this battle."


    He was convinced the losses here would be great, yet he had to do it. Amanda entered such a state because of him. If she didn''t interfere and protect him; he would have ended like her!


    ''Ding! I''m ready.''


    "He is too," Arthur nced over Mr. E whoid down over three thousand pirs there. "Tsk, he is such a rich man!"


    He didn''t know these pirs weren''t all Mr. E''s. Arthur didn''t dy as he took his bow and special arrows.


    "What is he going to do?" Mr. E nced over this scene as he stood far from Arthur.


    Arthur used his bow and started to rain the pirs. "Start concentrating the garden power now," he shouted while he tried to use the most arrows he could control and sent them all flying to hit different pirs.


    These pirs weren''t purified yet, as all his purified ones were now integrated at his city. The moment his arrowsnded on each pir, an image of a half bronze giant and a dragon appeared from the explosion.


    And a soft rumble started to echo at first, followed by more louder rumbles one after another as he kept sending more arrows towards the same pirs; aiming to stimte their innate strength.


    Each pir took five arrows to be stimted, and suddenly the world was filled with consecutive rumbles.


    Arthur didn''t stop his hand as he keptunching more arrows, yet he didn''t notice any change at Amanda after stimting half of the pirs.


    "What''s wrong? Where is my garden?"


    ''Ding! It''s connecting to the pirs added by that master, and it won''t appear until you stimte them all.''


    "All that time!" Arthur sighed before he tried his best tounch more arrows and used his ability to further guide them to make sure they would hit their mark.


    Mr. E stood far watching all this being unfold. "This kid… I never thought he is this resourceful," he was inwardly shocked by what Arthur was doing. "What are these arrows? They look special," he noticed the unique aspects of the arrows and decided to investigate themter on.


    It took Arthur ten more minutes to hit everything around, and make sure all the pirs started to shine with white light. "It''s ready, summon the garden power now," he said while waiting in the air ncing at Amanda. "She looks paler, hurry," he urged.


    ''Ding! It''sing!''


    The next moment Arthur and Mr. E felt like a sacred being descended upon them. The sky dimmed and the air became eerie and cold. Even Mr. E felt the pressure in this brief moment.


    As for Arthur, he was the owner of the garden, so he was affected by any pressure at all. Despite that, he knew his garden had be stronger; much stronger than he ever thought!


    "Rumble!"


    "Rumble!"


    "Rumble!"


    The next moment the sky cleared, and above each pir a small ball of light appeared. The sounds of rumbling invaded the ce while Arthur felt a familiarity with their rhythm. "It''s my garden, it''s here," heughed and hisughs became mighty roars.


    ''Ding! Don''t celebrate yet, this is just the first step to heal her,'' the system tried to control Arthur''s high expectations, ''Ding! Hit the pir again, a group of twelve at a time.''


    "Alright," Arthur was in a refreshing mood right now. "It really feels awesome to have strong followers and allies," he said to himself as he considered his garden as his biggest ally and asset!


    And his bow started to work again. This time he had to make sure he would hit the twelve pirs forming the twelve diagram at the same time. So, he went to stand in the center, just near Amanda''s body and started firing the arrows.


    He used his ability to control them. To make sure they would reach at the same time, heunched twelve arrows simultaneously. The first wave of arrows hit the pirs and a strange thing happened.


    An echo!


    It was like he hit a giant bell with a big drum! The arrows exploded yet what reacted wasn''t the pirs but the balls above them.


    And a strange silent wave erupted from each ball, heading inward towards him and Amanda.


    "Am I in danger? Is she in danger?" he hurriedly asked as these waves moved slowly towards him, like they were being controlled.


    He dreaded these waves!
