"I am imnsely thankful that you have managed to suppress the damage and also very ashad that such a thing happened." Adrian stated.
"You have nothing be ashad of, young diator. Your power was just more potent than everyone else that ca here before you. Younger Gurus would have been able to help in suppressing the energy you were releasing but they fainted to the point that the Temple Guardian had to step up." Guru Polliwog stated as he suddenly passed a piece of paper to Adrian.
"What is this?" Adrian asked as it was filled with numbers.
"That will be our assistance fee and also partial paynt for all the damages. Please understand that we do not have much here but we still need to live." Guru Polliwog stated.
"Oh! Since it was King Leonidas that brought here, you can just have him take care of this. He did say that he will shoulder everything I needed as I am his guest." Adrian stated as he gave back the paper.
"I will make sure that Ribbit will take this to the king then." Guru Polliwog stated.
"Please also take this as a separate thank you from . This is different from that as I am thankful that you managed to help ." Adrian stated as he gave a small pouch containing 500 gold coins to Guru Polliwog.
"I barely helped but refusing would be very bad of . We always teach the candidates here that it is very bad to refuse the blessings that others give willingly. May the spirits guide you." Guru Polliwog stated as he graciously accepted the bag.
Adrian already knew the state of this place as soon as he entered, and it seems to be in need of so retouches. Also, the items that he accidentally destroyed seed to be priceless, but they did not want to make him pay a lot which hurt his conscience a bit. He made sure to at least give sothing while King Leonidas paid the amount written in that paper.
"If that is all, then I am going to return to my territory now. Th..." Adrian stated as he was about to say his farewells, but Guru Polliwog suddenly stopped him.
Guru Polliwog suddenly saw a falling leaf in front of him and froze for a mont as if he was telepathically conversing with soone or sothing. Adrian also felt a strange faint energy enter Guru Polliwog's body, but it was so subtle that he almost ignored it. Adrian also felt a pair of eyes looking from sowhere, but he could not pinpoint it.
"I am very sorry to suddenly stop you from leaving but it seems that the Guardian of this land wants to et you. Please follow if you may." Guru Polliwog stated as his tone is now full of respect as the slight playful twang vanished from his voice.
"Is it the Guardian that is observing right now?" Adrian asked.
"Yes. The guardian wants to discuss sothing and also discuss sothing relating to the Creation Relic of the Selvaggians." Guru Polliwog stated which made Adrian curious.
"Please lead the way then." Adrian stated as he followed Guru Polliwog deeper into the Marsh where incredibly thick fog is covering.
Adrian's mind suddenly raced with thoughts about the Eden Guardian wanting to have the Creation Relic return or sothing. He also found the path that the two of them are following a bit weird. Guru Polliwog and him are basically in a fog so thick that no one can see what is around, but Adrian could clearly see the old frog beastkin guru clearly.
Adrian decided not to speak as the fog did not ss with his perception at all. Still, he did notice that they entered a parallel world a few minutes ago. The energy in this place is also incredibly dense that normal beings would have suffocated should they pass through it. Adrian could withstand it because of the fact that his Soul Root is now fixed which increased his resistances against external pressure.
"We are here now. I have done my part and shall bid you farewell. Thank you for the very eye- opening experience, young diator." Guru Polliwog stated as he bowed to Adrian before his entire body vanished into the fog.
"Wait! I cannot see anything yet!" Adrian stated as he found himself surrounded by thick fog with no one or nothing in sight.
"Welco, Chaosborne." A voice that sounded lodic stated as it is heard inside of Adrian's head instead of his ears.
"Who am I talking to?" Adrian asked.
"Apologies as I have been too used to having the fog all the ti." The voice stated as the fog suddenly cleared and revealed the source of the voice inside of Adrian's head.
A large monster that could easily swallow Adrian ten tis over could be seen just a few inches before him. The monster looked like a dragon, but Adrian did not sense any dragon blood in it. He even asked Kanlaon to make sure and the latter verified that he is not in front of a dragon. In fact, Adrian would actually say that the being or monster in front of him felt more like a primordial beast.
"Greetings, Chaosborne. I am Mistrotl. The Guardian of the Wilde Eden." Mistrotl stated as it suddenly blew out white fog from the fog like fins on its body.

"Greetings, Mistrotl. I am Equinox, the diator of Death. I believe that Chaosborne is an old-fashioned way of calling us demons, but we go by Daemos now." Adrian stated. Adrian could see that Mistrotl looked like a large Axolotl that takes on a pure blue color. The gills and fins of Mistrotl looked like it was made of the fog itself as it is an extension of his body. Adrian could now see why Guru Polliwog freaked out earlier when he absorbed so of the fog. It seems that the fog is a part of Mistrotl as it contained his unique energy signature. "So, the Chaosborne go by Daemos now. It has been too long it seems that I have been here in this realm. Tell , Daemos Equinox... what do you wish to achieve using the Creation Relic of the Selvaggians." Mistrotl stated.
"You can just call Equinox. To answer that question, I just need the Creation relic to form a cohesive link between this realm and the main realm. Having the Creation Relic of the Selvaggians is a way to do that. As you should know that this realm was born through the Creation Relic sharing so of its power." Adrian stated as Mistrotl looked at him with its cute beady eyes before flowing so fog onto him.
"You speak the truth, Equinox. I am sure that you know the reason why I inquired about it. The Selvaggians have been taking care of this realm for so long that I managed to recover so of my power to perfectly hide the Wilde's Eden." Mistrotl stated.
"Strange. I thought that you Eden Guardians should not care for what really happens to the beings that reside on your world that much. All of you are basically immortal beings as long as the Eden of the realm is maintained. At least, that is what the Gods and Goddesses of Life tell . This is the first ti that I have t an Eden Guardian after all as all of you tend to avoid encounters." Adrian stated.
"I have beco fond of the Selvaggians over the course of the ages that have passed. They are beings that are true to their words without any malicious intent behind it. I have told you before that I was weakened back then but it was also due to a rampaging primordial beast.
It might have been different from the one that you have defeated but it was fierce, nonetheless. A lot of the Selvaggians sacrificed their lives to protect this realm's Eden even if they did not have to. I am rely repaying the debt that I owe them by making sure that their Creation Relic is not going to be used against them" Mistrotl stated.
"What would you have done if I used it against them?" Adrian asked with a gulp.
"Should you do so then I will make sure that you will not be able to leave this realm and trap
you within the mist until you lose your will to live." Mistrotl stated which made Adrian laugh
weakly as a reaction.
