As soon as Goode turned to the barrier after hearing Garuvy’s scream, the three Bothoxes released blue light balls from their mouths and launched six blue horn missiles from their horns.

Their attacks cause explosions that create big holes in the barrier. They make Garuvy dodge the blue light balls that go through them. The blue light balls cause cracks on the other side of the barrier.

After defeating all the Bothlowers around him, Goode tried to approach the Bothoxes and ignored the three Bothlowers that just emerged behind him.

After he dodged the blue light beams that came from the three Bothlowers by moving to the left, Goode turned around and released blue fireballs from his hands to kill them before he continued to approach the Bothoxes.

After coughing for once, he unleashes blue fireballs from his hands that can kill the Bothoxes quickly. The fireballs cause him to cough again.

Suddenly, 10 Bothlowers emerge from the ground around the outside of the barrier and shoot blue light beams towards the barrier. They make Garuvy run and get out of the barrier through the big barrier hole while dodging two of the blue light beams that went through the barrier hole.

While Garuvy dodges the blue light beams released by 10 Bothlowers by running around, Goode releases a blue fire burst from his right hand that goes around the outside of the barrier to kill the Bothlowers. It makes him cough again.

“Mr. Goode!” Garuvy’s eyebrows are knitted as she approaches Goode. “Are you alright?”

Goode remains silent while looking down with a crumpled face.

“Mr. Goode?”

“I’m okay, dear.” Goode smiled before he added. “Please return to the barrier now. I will repair it.”

“Okay.” Garuvy nodded.

After Garuvy went inside the barrier through the barrier hole, Goode touched the barrier edge with his hands to erase all cracks and holes.

“Those blue sunflowers aren’t like other monsters.” Garuvy’s mouth is downturned.

“They are called Bothlower, and they usually move underground as blue seeds with light blue eyes before turning themselves into blue sunflowers when they appear on the ground.” Goode explained.

“It’s scary if they suddenly appear inside the barrier.” Garuvy’s eyebrows are knitted.

“That won’t happen, because this barrier and any other barriers penetrated all the way to underground. They formed transparent big blue balls.

“When the Bothlowers are moving underground around here, they will see a transparent big blue semicircle.

“Usually, they cannot attack it, so they decided to transform into blue sunflowers on the ground.” Goode explained.

“Oooh.” Garuvy’s eyes are wide. “So that’s why there is no news about blue sunflowers in the cities?”

“Yes, it is!” Goode smiled and nodded.

While Goode turns to the left and right, they remain silent for a few seconds.

“By the way, you are a good teacher for Lyos Bimasaktyo, sir.” Garuvy smiles.

“Oh!” Goode smiled as he turned to Garuvy. “I will teach him with pleasure!”

After Goode turned to the left, Garuvy turned to the right. They both see a flying Bothasus in the air, ridden by Andark, who has changed his previous Bothyzard Robe for an intact Bothyzard Robe, and Lighel, who sits behind him and holds a red mat in her hands.

After they make the Bothasus land on the ground and get off the Bothasus, Andark and Lighel approach Goode and Garuvy.

“How is it, bro? Are you workin’ well?” Andark asked.

“Yes.” Goode smiled before he continued. “I showed my Buff Bothyner to her, as you asked.”

Garuvy’s eyes are wide and her eyebrows are highly raised.

“Good job, dude,” Andark said.

“Wait!” Garuvy turns to Andark. “So, it was your plan, Mr. Andark?”

“Yeah.” Andark nodded before he added. “But I didn’t mean to hurt him. I just want you to know him better.”

“Oh…” Garuvy’s face is crumpled.

“See, Garuvy?” Lighel smiled before she added. “He’s so dark! After your quarantine period is over, come to my house and be my daughter!”

“Too bad.” Andark smiled as he turned to Lighel. “She still wants to be with me!”

Lighel’s eyebrows are furrowed as she turns to Andark. “Liar!”

“No, he’s right.” Garuvy shook her head before she added. “I still want to trust him.”

Lighel and Andark turn to Garuvy. Lighel’s mouth is slightly opened.

“Oh, c’mon!” Lighel’s face is crumpled.

Goode smiled as he turned to Lighel and Andark. “Hey, you remembered what I said before, right? Let’s just proceed to the next phase!”

“Okay, Lighel, put the mat inside the barrier,” Andark ordered.

“Roger.” Lighel nodded.

Andark’s eyes are wide as he sees five Bothigeyes and six Bothwordsmen appeared on the other side of the barrier behind Garuvy.

Bothigeye is a spider-like creature with four blue legs, a blue body shaped like a ball, and a big eye with light blue sclera and a blue eyeball on the body. Bothwordsman is a Bothyghter that wields a blue sword in its right hand.

“Hey, look!” Andark points at the Bothytures with his right finger. He makes Garuvy, Lighel, and Goode turn in the direction pointed.

Andark lowers his right hand. “Do it now, Lighel!”

Lighel turns to Goode. “Goode, create a barrier hole!”

“Right!” Goode nodded.

While Andark approaches the Bothytures and Goode creates a barrier hole with his right hand, Lighel stays near Goode.

Blue shadows that were floating but still connected to Andark’s right palm and left palm appeared.

Each of the blue shadows in his hands turns into blue needle shadows that look like four blue needles.

Each of the blue needle shadows has the same size as Andark’s arm and has a length that is twice the size of Andark’s arm. They can move elastically.

Two Bothigeyes jump forward. They tilt their bodies backward while they are still in the air. They release blue light balls from the holes on the lower part of their bodies.

While Andark is dodging the blue light balls in front of him by moving to the left and right, he gets hit by the blue light balls three times. Then he is approached by three Bothwordsmen.

He strikes two Bothwordsmen with blue needle shadows from his hands. He runs forward to dodge blue light balls that came from a Bothigeye on his left side and blue light balls that came from two Bothigeyes on his right side.

With its sword, a Bothwordsman attacks Andark from his right side. After he dodges it by moving to the left, another Bothwordsman approaches him from his left side.

After he strikes the Bothwordsman twice, he moves backward to dodge the blue light balls launched by a Bothigeye from his right side. He gets hit by the blue light balls once.

A Bothwordsman comes from his southwest and another Bothwordsman comes from his southeast. Andark swings the blue needle shadows from his hands around his rear to strike them at once.

A Bothwordsman attempts to slash Andark from the northeast. He dodges it by moving northwest and then tries to stab the Bothwordsman's stomach with blue needle shadows from his right hand.

The Bothwordsman dodges it by moving to the left. Another Bothwordsman approaches Andark from his northwest.

Andark strikes the northwest Bothwordsman’s eyes and mouth with the blue needle shadows from his right hand.

He makes it injured and unable to move. Andark’s next attack with blue needle shadows from his left hand can pierce through its stomach and kill it.

The previous Bothwordsman from his northeast tries to attack him. It is killed by a hand-sized blue light beam from Lighel’s left hand.

After dodging the blue light balls released by the Bothigeyes from his right side and his northeast side by moving backward, Andark tries to approach one of the Bothigeyes from his northeast.

He was halted by a Bothwordsman, so he killed it by slashing it twice with blue needle shadows from his hands.

The previous Bothigeye got hit by blue fireballs from Goode’s right hand, and then its big eye and body got stabbed by blue needle shadows from Andark’s left hand.

A Bothlower suddenly emerged on the ground on Andark’s left side and released a blue light beam. Andark dodged it by moving forward and killed it with blue needle shadows from his left hand.

After another Bothlower emerged on the ground near the previous dead Bothigeye, the Bothlower transformed the middle part of its flower head into a mouth with light blue teeth. It started to eat the Bothigeye’s dead body.

Andark tried to stop it. But he was interrupted by a Bothwordsman who tried to attack him from behind.

After Andark dodged its sword attack by turning around and moving to the left, the Bothwordsman was killed suddenly by a hand-sized blue light beam from Lighel’s right hand.

After Andark moved backward and got hit by three of the blue light balls that came from his left and right sides, he approached the Bothlower that was still eating the dead Bothigeye and killed it with blue needle shadows from his right hand.

The remaining two Bothwordsmen approach Andark from his southwest and northeast. The southwest Bothwordsman is killed by blue fireballs from Goode’s left hand.

At the same time, the other one is killed by a hand-sized blue light beam from Lighel’s right hand.

Two Bothigeyes approach Goode from the front. They jump forward and release blue light balls towards him. He dodges them by running forward. Then he releases blue fire bursts from his hands towards the Bothigeyes.

Goode releases a blue fire burst from his right hand towards the Bothigeye on his left side. He releases a blue fire burst from his left hand towards the Bothigeye on his right side. The attacks killed them.

A Bothigeye comes from Goode’s left side. It gets attacked by blue light balls from another Bothigeye and falls to the ground. It makes Goode’s eyebrows rise.

The traitor Bothigeye keeps attacking with blue light balls without giving its friend a chance to rise from the ground.

“Don’t attack it! Let Garuvy see this!” Andark shouted.

Before turning back to the Bothigeyes, Lighel and Goode turn to Garuvy, who is witnessing the Bothigeyes from inside the barrier.

After killing its friend, the traitor Bothigeye transforms its big eye into a big mouth with light blue teeth. It starts eating its friend and ignores Andark and his friends who are witnessing its action for a while.

“Kill it now,” Andark ordered.

After hearing that, Lighel kills the traitor Bothigeye by releasing a blue light beam from her left hand.

After that, Andark and his Bothyzard friends are approaching Garuvy.

“What do you think of it, Garuvy?” Andark asked.

“Why did that creature do it?” Garuvy asked back.

“That’s what happens if a Bothyture is almost out of Bothyner,” Lighel explained.

“Yes.” Goode nodded before he added. “Usually, the Bothytures attacked us to absorb our Bothyner, but that one really needed Bothyner.”

“What if they run out of it?” Garuvy asked.

“Just like if we starve for too long.” Andark replied.

“Oh…” Garuvy’s face is crumpled.

Goode smiled as he turned to Andark and Lighel. “Now what?”

Andark turns to Goode. “I want to get some clothes for Garuvy. The T-shirt she wears now is torn.”

Andark, Goode, and Lighel turn to Garuvy’s torn pink T-shirt.

“You are right,” Goode said.

Lighel turns to Andark. “It’s my fault, so I’ll help you to take her clothes.”

Andark turns to Lighel. “No, you stay here. Let me and Goode do it.”

Lighel and Goode’s eyebrows are wide.

“What’re you thinking?” Lighel’s eyebrows are furrowed. “I can’t repair the barrier, dark guy!”

“Yeah.” Andark nodded before he continued. “But you can defeat the Bothytures easily with your blue light beam, right?”

“What?” Lighel’s eyebrows are knitted. “Well…” Lighel turns her face to the side.

“Yes!” Goode smiled before he continued. “It seems like you have been holding back all this time! Besides, I want to rest for a while!”

Lighel turns to Goode. “Well, I just don’t want to lose so much Bothyner and hurt my friends around me, but…”

Lighel turns to Garuvy. “What do you think, my daughter?”

“She’s my daughter!” Andark’s eyebrows are narrowed as he turns to Garuvy.

“Our daughter!” Goode smiles as he turns to Garuvy.

All of them remain silent for a while.

“Sure.” Garuvy smiled and nodded. “Let her try her best!”

Lighel’s eyes are wide before she turns to Andark. “She just accepted me as her mother! Taste that, Darky!”

“Hey, you!” Andark’s eyebrows are narrowed.

Garuvy and Goode are laughing.

“Relax, relax.” Goode smiles as he holds Andark’s right shoulder with his left hand. “Come on, just get out of here.”

“Hmph.” Andark looks away.

After he approaches his Bothasus and mounts it with Goode, who sits behind him, Andark controls his Bothasus to fly and leave the place.

“Now, let’s see.” Lighel walks away.

She looks around the area and pays attention to the dead Bothytures before coming back to Garuvy.

“This place got really smelly because there are three dead Bothyghters, four dead Bothoblins, ten dead Bothirds, five dead Bothunicorns, seven dead Botholves, five dead Bothoxes, three dead Bothygers, five dead Bothigeyes, and six dead Bothwordsmen,” Lighel explained.

“What about the Bothlowers?” Garuvy asked.

“Oh, they’re just plants.” Lighel smiled before she added. “Their bodies are easily destroyed and don’t emit an odor!”

Lighel touches the barrier edge in front of Garuvy with her palms. “Don’t worry, my daughter. I’ll protect you and get rid of some dead monsters. With my light!”

“How do you get rid of them?” Garuvy asked.

“Just watch me!” Lighel smiles.

Lighel releases her palms from the barrier edge. She points at the red mat that has been rolled out inside the barrier with her right finger. Garuvy turns to the mat.

“Now you should sit there while you watch me. You must be tired, right?”

“Oh, yes.” Garuvy smiles.

Garuvy turns to Lighel. “Thank you, Mrs. Lighel. I hope you are blessed forever!”

“Oooh, you’re welcome!” Lighel smiled and her eyebrows rose. “And don’t forget to keep your light shining bright! Like a diamond!”

“Of course!” Garuvy smiled and nodded.

After Garuvy turned to the mat and tried to approach it, Lighel’s eyes widened as she saw blue auras on Garuvy’s hands that appeared suddenly.

To be continued.
