Chapter 99 - Entering The Ruin (2/2)

”I couldn't agree more on that logic” said Austin.

”Now all that is left for me to do is get the smell of fish to travel far” said Jason.

”Then this amount won't be enough to attract the guardian. Here let me help” replied Austin as he took out his sword and stab five fishes into it before placing it into the fire.

Seeing that Austin was also imitating Jason, Steven couldn't help but curse out.

”You prick how can you be so dumb as to join that outcast in playing around”.

”I wonder who is the outcast here, is it me or you cause I remember clearly that I belong to a family unlike a nobody like you whose father is ashamed to call his son” said Jason.

”Hey you guys should wait for me alright” commented Diana giggles as she made her way toward them.

”Diana, where do you think you are going” asked a member of the Platoon family.

”Can't you see that they are having fun over there, why wait here for the guardian to come out when I can have fun while waiting” replied Diana with a smile before rushing to them.

After getting to where the duo was sitting, Diana took out her sword before turning to Jason to lend her some fish which he quickly lent her and Austin was so speechless to see that Jason who he had thought would not even look Diana to be someone special would easily let her have some of his fish.

”You don't need to worry about anything man, I only let her have it just to make it easier for the smell to get to the guardian” said Jason as he passed a telepathy message to Austin when seeing the look on his face.

”So you actually expect me to believe what you are saying when the look on your face says otherwise” replied Austin with a disdainful look on his face.

The rest did not even bother to look at them as they continue to think of a way to get the guardian to come out which was beginning to look difficult for them until they felt the ground tremble before a winged creature that look like a cat but the only difference between them was that it was a lot bigger than a normal cat.

The group couldn't help but mutter beneath their voice as they look at the guardian who was watching them from above.

”The….the…the guardian has finally shown itself”.

The guardian was just levitating high up in the sky as it began to scan the area in search of where the amazing smell was coming from and that is when its eyes locked on an area where three people were sitting while holding a stake of fish on their weapon. Not wasting more time, the guardian dash towards where they were sitting, and when the group saw the guardian dashing towards where Jason and the rest were steaming fishes, they couldn't help but have a happy expression on their face.

”Serve you right. you think we all came here to have fun” said Steven who looked to be happier compared to the others.

Seeing the guardian coming at them, Diana was frightened as she stood up ready to battle it out only for Jason to tell her to loosen up and sit down.

Doing as she was told, Diana sat down as she gazed at the guardian who was just hovering in the air while looking at them. After seeing that the lady had sat down, it landed not too far from them as it looked at them curiously.

”You want to have a taste of this” said Jason as he pulled the halberd forward for the guardian to get a closing look at what was really producing the amazing smell.

The guardian had an amusing look on its face when it saw the fishes that were stake together as it moved its mouth closer to get a bite only for Jason to pull the halberd back causing the guardian to bite at thin air.

The guardian became annoyed that it could not have a bite at the fish and Jason seeing the look on its face couldn't help but let out a chuckle as he said.

”Do you want to have it” asked Jason, not knowing if the guardian could understand him.

The guardian nodded to his question as it sat while looking at Jason.

”You can have them all if you let us into the ruin” added Jason with a smile as he pointed to the statue.

The guardian didn't bother to think much about it before opening its mouth and spitting out a white orb that coated Jason, Austin, and Diana together before they were sent into the statue.. After sending them in, the guardian quickly ate the fishes that were left behind by the three before running into the forest.
