Sky and the fox ladies ran back to their territory and gathered in the core of the territory.
"What do you plan to do now?" Artha asked Sky. He was the only one who could bring them out of the current situation.
The Minotaurs will take about an hour to reach this place and once they reach, they would surely attack without any words.
Sky shook his head. He did not have any ideas that would let him fight a whole army of Minotaurs while protecting the foxes.
His left arm just made things even worse. When he ran from the battle ground, he had absorbed the unconscious four tailed fox into his left arm.
When he went into his arm to check the situation of the poison that was acting in her, he discovered that she was in a similar state to Carnage and the left arm did not allow him to move the four tailed fox outside.
His arm was slowly removing the poison from the four tailed fox, so there was no problem with her life. But this complicated things.
The fox ladies were constantly asking him where their Territory Lord was and he was unable to answer them.
Except for Artha who supported him without questions, every other fox suspected him of kidnapping their territory lord.
"Do you have a secret place where you will be able to stay for about a week?" He asked Artha, without any options left.
"There is one such place, but why are you asking about it?" Artha did not understand. There is no use in hiding if you can't defeat an enemy, she knew this properly.
Sky smiled at her. "There might be a thousand clever ways to overcome this situation, but I don't like to think much. So I will fight my issues head on." He said.
Sky was still a kid, he might be evolving fast but that does not mean he knew everything. He only knows one thing and that was, he was 'immortal'.
When you are an immortal you don't think much, you face things head on and improve yourself through battle.
"Take the fox ladies and hide there for a week. If possible stay as long as you can in there. I can't guarantee much, but I promise to at least kill the level four Minotaur before a week. This way, you will be able to put up a fight even if I don't kill all of them." He said.
He might be an immortal, but that doesn't mean he has endless energy. He will feel weakness and lose his strength after sometime.
This was the reason that he did not guarantee his victory. Once he lost all the energy to even move, the Minotaurs can just keep attacking him to let him stay in that condition.
So he decided to kill the level four Minotaur. This way, if he did not win, the foxes can fight with the remaining level three Minotaurs as they also have some level three foxes.
"Why aren't you just running away?" Artha understood what kind of situation they were in. But why was Sky helping him? He was stranger and if he escaped now, he could still be safe with his capabilities.
Sky was little surprised at her question. Yeah! Why doesn't he just run away. With his immortal arm, nobody can stop him if he really wanted to run away.
He then looked at Artha and considered something for a long time. He finally sighed. "Why am I not running? I wonder why?" He still had not figured the answer to this question.
"But since I am staying to protect your race, I need to have a reason. I demand a payment for my protection. This way, I have a reason to protect you." He said with a smile.
"What payment do you need?" Artha smiled at him as she asked.
"A kiss." Sky joked.
But Artha moved her face stuck and her lips to his. She immediately moved away after a brief contact, "Then this is your payment." She said as she ran away with a red face.
She then convinced the remaining people to go with her to the secret place and left with them, leaving Sky dumbfounded at the place.
After a long time, he sighed happily, "I was just joking around. I wanted to ask for blood of your god as payment. But whatever, I did not lose out in the end" he said as he lightly moved his fingers over his lips.
Sky also noticed Artha not asking about her sister the whole time, this felt weird to him, but he liked it. He liked girls who asked less questions and loved more.
....
Artha took the remaining foxes to the bedroom of her sister, the territory lord. She then waved her hand and revealed an independent space under the bed.
If Sky saw this scene, he would have understood how the four tailed fox had retrieved the knife from under her bed the first time he met her.
"What is this place?" One of the level three fox asked Artha.
"An independent space. This is a secret room that is in the Violet Dungeon." Artha answered.
The foxes were even more confused by her words. Violet Dungeon? They were in the Red Dungeon. So why did Artha call this an independent space from Violet Dungeon.
But they did not care much about the details. They just went inside.
Artha was the final one to enter the dungeon. She chanted a syllable and the space closed down.
"What is this door?" Someone had found a door in this dark room.
"Don't open that door. It leads to the eightieth floor of Violet Dungeon." Artha warned immediately.
For sometime, everybody turned silent.
Eightieth floor of Violet Dungeon!!!! They were scared now. According to what they knew, the Eightieth floor of Violet Dungeon was still being ruled by the heaveners.
It would be sure death to face the heaveners that even their gods had problems to deal with.
They started shaking in fear. Weren't they in a dangerous location if this door led to the eightieth floor of Violet Dungeon.
"Don't worry, as long as we don't open the door, no one will come in." In this dark room, only Artha's words were comforting.
They stayed silent the whole time, scared that they might attract the heaveners from the other side of the door.
