"What gets wetter the more it dries'
Shiva "..."
Shiva was speechless by the question the old voice asked, He was never a studious person, not to mention his poor interaction skills, it would be a miracle if he know answers to any regular question not to mention the riddles,
"Kid answer fast the time is ticking"
the voice urged him to answer,
He was thinking of an answer as a question appeared in his mind,
He seemed to be thinking something, he didn't answer and simply stood there. the voice was getting impatient by his behavior as it asked,
"Hey Kid, are you going to answer my question or not?"
Shiva smiled hearing him as he said,
"No"
The Old voice was taken aback by his answer, "What?"
"I said No, I have no intention of answering any of your questions"
"Atrocious!! are you courting death?"
It has been over 500 years since he was captured here in the tower, In that time countless people came to challenge the floor, but never in his 500 years did someone talk back to him like this,
He was truly enraged,
on the other hand, the smile on Shiva's face became wider as he 'Answered'.
"As I said, I don't have any intention of answering your stupid questions"
This time the old voice was truly enraged, his anger hit the top as he bellowed,
"You dare refuse this master, then you can die"
An old man with a bald head, white beard, and long white eyebrows with one eye patched appeared before him, his face was distorted at the moment, his hand was holding a paintbrush as he looked at Shiva with anger,
"Since you can't clear the challenge anyway, you can die now"
He held pen and started to swing it in the air as some golden letters which Shiva obviously didn't understand, started to appear before him,
""O thy, I call upon the nature to erase this insolent from the world, in the name of thy I command Earth to stand with me""
The Earth started to shake as in response to the old man's chant,
Numerous statues that looked like beasts and some stone soldiers appeared before him,
"Boy! now despair in front of this sage, get on your knees and plead for forgiveness, I might forgive you and even provide a chance to clear this floor or else you will die by my hands"
Shiva's head was down, for others seeing him, he just looked like he was despairing the situation blaming himself for his misfortune, but what was heard next left the Old man completely baffled,
"Kekekhhe, Hey you old cot!"
he slowly lifted his head as he looked towards the old man, his eyes now had a black aura around them,
"The system said you were some sage, but for a sage such as yourself, you are one hell of a stupid fool"
He chuckled while saying so,
"let me say something now, for your information, I had already cleared this floor..."
"What a bluff" the old man shouted, "Just because you can't clear the floor, you think you can bluff with me"
Shiva now widened his eyes as he looked at the old man with wonder, the old sage was now thinking of humiliating him but his next words hit him hard,
"I seriously wonder...." he looked like he was shocked by the fact,
"How the hell did an old cot like you get the title of a sage"
"Boy! don't push your luck"
"stop shouting you old cot! The requirement to clear the floor was to answer your three questions, but there was no specification on the question"
"I have already answered your three questions and....."
Shiva took a step forward as he said in a cold voice,
"Who the hell do you think you are to shout at me! are you relying on the pile of stones behind you, then let me tell you something,"
he spread his both hands wide,
"You are not the only one with an army"
'Summon skeleton, Summon Kapali, Virupa, Bhima, Ugram'
One by one the skeletons started to appear around him,
previously after he answered all his three questions, his powers and skills became usable once again, he was exactly checking them while keeping his head down,
about thirty massive skeletons appeared in his surrounding with a Knight at his right and a butler at his left, a massive bone dragon appeared above his head and lastly, a young calf appeared jumping around in front of him.
The old man's face paled seeing this,
"This...This how is this possible..."
His eyes were shaking violently when he saw a massive bone dragon flying above his head,
"The primordial descendent, how come he is here...?"
He looked at the calf, as his already pale face lost all its color,
"The Twilight lord...??"
He looked at Kapali and Virupa back and forth with fright as his legs started trembling'
"Heavenly demon candidate and a Vampire...!!"
and finally, he looked at Shiva as he asked,
"You....! Who hell are you!"
"Me...I am your daddy"
