Astral Gate

The garden was covered with the foul stench of countless poisons, surrounding Arthur like a landmine. His face was sweaty, but a smile appeared when his detect rune showed him that Rain had joined the fight against Erin.

"I don't need to hold back anymore," Arthur said after realizing his mission was done. Hartman spun his weapon a few times above his head before taking a stance, staring at Arthur with disdain.

"Is this all the outsider amounts to?" asked the executor while staring at Arthur's tired face. "I expected a proper fight, not a cowardly mouse."

"You will get your fight," said Arthur as he released his [Detect-IV] rune and channeled his fire toward the gate in his consciousness. "Do you know what made me defeat Fallen God, Amelio?"

"The strength given by the three defenders, who aren't here now!" said Hartman as he brought his scythe down to slash Arthur, who sidestepped before his arms turned to flames.
