'If water does not work then what if I replace it with Blood?'(Argus)
This was another idea that came to Argus mind. He implemented it straight away. He opened a hole again on the pot until the seed was shown.
Astrea notice that her Master summoned his Scythe and cut his palm with it which shocked her.
"M-master! What are you doing?!"(Astrea)
"It's an experiment. Do not worry."(Argus)
Argus blood flows down the pot straight to the seed until it was covered by his blood. The wound on his palm has already closed due to his regeneration. Astrea and Argus observe the seed.
The seed has no reaction at first but after a few seconds, Argus notice that the blood surrounding the seed started to disappear. His blood started to seep into the seed until all the blood around it disappeared. After that nothing abnormal happened.
"It looks like the blood is not enough."(Argus)
Argus summoned his Scythe again but Astrea stopped him.
"Master you can use my blood instead."(Astrea)
"There is no need for that. Like I said I have a regeneration skill you just need to watch."(Argus)
Astrea could only sigh. Argus cut his palm again as blood started to flow to the seed. This time he willed to stop his regeneration or his wound will close. As blood seep through the seed, minutes past. Even with Argus regeneration still causes nausea on him. Not long after he received a notification and he immediately activated his regeneration.
The seed started to crack as tendrils emerged from the seed. Absorbing the blood, the seed swelled and pulsed gently, drawing Argus's blood into its core. Gradually, the seed's color became more vivid, and it began to crack open. From within, a small, red shoot emerged, pushing its way through the soil and unfurling into a crimson sprout.
[Congratulations for taming a new Soulbound]
[Please name your new Soulbound]
"Hmm... What should I name you?"(Argus)
Argus looks at the sapling in front of him while thinking of appropriate name. The sapling sways to greet Astrea and Argus. Astrea was amazed and smiled finding this move cute as she approached the sapling.
'Silva in one of the ancient language of the human race means forest.'(Argus)

Argus was shocked that Sylvan signed a Life and Death contract with him. After that he accepted it and became happy of course. Who wouldn't want a Unique Beast as their Soulbound.
"Wait for a while Sylvan, I'm just gonna take the Core of this Dungeon. Astrea you and Sylvan return for a while."(Argus)
"Yes Master."(Astrea)
Astrea and Sylvan including the pot disappeared and both of them are now in Argus's Soul Sea.
"Welcome to the family Sylvan!"(Astrea)
Sylvan greeted her with her swaying it's body. Sylvan also conveyed its thought to Astrea using its soul.
"Okay Sylvan Im gonna introduce myself. I am Astrea the eldest Soulbound of our Master. From now on you can call me Elder Sister. You are the second Soulbound of our Master and that makes you my little brother or sister? Anyway do you get it?"(Astrea)
Although just awakened from being a seed it looks like Sylvan can easily understand Astrea at it accepted Astrea... No its elder sisters proposal immediately. Astrea also became happy as Sylvan did not argue with her.
"From now it let's get stronger to be of help to Master."(Astrea)
Sylvan sways as it agreed to Astrea. Meanwhile Argus was now holding the green Dungeon Core. The core suddenly started to shake but Argus did not panick as he was envelope by light and was teleported at the front of the portal.
Sebastian notice Argus and was shocked again with the two guards beside him. He and the guards greet Argus and Argus greeted them back. Sebastian was about to ask him if he wants to head to another dungeon when he notice that Argus's lips started to twitching while looking blankly in front of him.
"Is there a problem Master Argus?"(Sebastian)
Argus did not immediately answer him although he heard Sebastian as he was looking at his Status Window Notifications.

Argus was dumbfounded while looking at the notifications he received. Argus has an idea why he was punished though. Summoners was supposed to be commanding its summoned. However since Argus was walking a path no one has succeeded.
A Battle Summoner should fight on front but Astrea was the only one cleared the two dungeon with him just collecting drops on the first dungeon and just train on the second one.
'F***! I didn't think something like this will happen.'(Argus)
'M-master! My power has been sealed! I became a Beginner Realm again what is happening?!'(Astrea)
Argus told Astrea all the notifications he received to her as he tried to calm her down. Astrea was shocked and was sad at the same time as she was blaming herself for what happened. Argus tried to calm her down of course.
Fe minutes past and Astrea calmed down. Argus could only sigh and accept the punishment of course. He looks at Sebastian as he replied.
"Sorry for being out of myself for a while since there was a bit of problem."(Argus)
"Is there anything I can help Master Argus?"(Sebastian)
"Yeah... Can you tell Alice to add another 5 of each dungeons?"(Argus)
Sebastian was shocked when he heard Argus's reply.
'What happened? Why is Master Argus asking for another 5 of each dungeons. Is his quest change perhaps?!'(Sebastian)
When he came to this conclusion his eyes widens but he did not ask Argus for clarification of course.
"That is no problem Master Argus. Is there anything else?"(Sebastian)
"Let's go to the next one."(Argus)
'It looks like my plan with Astrea needs to be postponed for a while.'(Argus)
Argus says in exasperated tone. He tells Astrea about it. Sebastian and Argus then head to the next dungeon which was near them. Argus plans to clear another 3 dungeons for today for a total of 5. When the two reached the destination. Argus greeted the two guards and entered straight away the Dungeon Portal.
'Undead dungeon, huh.'(Argus)
Argus was greeted again with the same gloomy and decaying atmosphere like the first dungeon he entered. He tried summoning Astrea but it looks like it is not working. Argus tried to summon Sylvan and it works.
'It looks like I can really only summoned Astrea in the Boss Chamber, huh.'(Argus)
Argus looks at the pot with Sylvan in his palm.
"Sylvan, it looks like you need to ride my bus for a while."(Argus)
Sylvan tells him that it was sorry since it can't really help him much with their current enemies.
"It's okay... You can help me if you became a little stronger. I also need to clear 18 more dungeons starting this which was enough to make you reach the peak Beginner Realm immediately."(Argus)
Sylvan was immediately included to Argus's party when it was summoned. Sylvan will get exp as long as its realm is 1 major realm lower than the strongest party member. Since both of them are both Beginner Realm. They will divide the exp by the number of their current party which is 2.
Not long after, Argus hear the rattling of bones approaching the two of them. Argus summoned his Scythe. Holding Sylvan's pot on his left hand while wielding the Scythe on on the other hand. Argus dash on the party of skeletons.
'Let me release my frustation on you guys.'(Argus)
Argus with his lazy looking face swing his Scythe to the skeletons. Although he was a bit frustrated on the new quest he got. He also became slightly happy since the system gave him a chance to fight more.
'I guest I need to thank the system.'(Argus)
