Gates then took off back to the turtles nest, it was bounty to have amassed a lot of wealth and hopefully, not the wisdom kind.
As he reached the area where he had the turtles shell tested, it was indeed durable, something that would fair well against attacks of a newly promoted high ranked mage. Which were already a rarity...
Seventy six diverse corpses of monsters and creatures that he counted inhabited the territory of the now dead Turtle, as he flew past the corpses, many others must have ran away from the battle, it was not something to watch the fight between two powerful beings, you can get hurt seriously or die recklessly.
Gates reached the entrance and softly landed on both his feet as he took his time to go in, walking without a since of urgency. Yes, he had caused the loudest commotion that black Turtle City had ever seen and they would soon send mages and knights and soilders to investigate.
