ch7 fourth room

As Cross woke up again in the room he looks down and saw multiple wooden arrows a few fit away from him. *sigh* "guess I'm all healed now" *thud* He said before following to his back and thinking about what he just experienced. It was the hardest he has gone by with 7 to 20 arrows in his body. He didn't even count how many. Now looking at his body he gave a helpless smile. The wound is gone but the scar remains.

"I'll ask teacher if he could get rid of it. It's a magic world so I guess he can" He said touching his forehead using his arms. The trees and vines were gone only grass beneath him that gives him comfort. "What kind of life am I living? It's only been a week or so since I got here and I'm already dying or I may even die in the next room and the next after that! Haaa life is hard as always even in my last life. So many people died in war and I can't save them all. I can still hear their shouts and pain in their eyes. As they lay down and slowly die...Being the best doctor is a curse and also not at the same time but my knowledge in it is already taken from me all I can remember is the name people I know and the war everything is blank" Cross said looking up the ceiling.

A few hours later Cross was now looking at a wall having a drawing of a mythical creature having a dragon head horse body and a snake tail. It has a red mane like a lion, feat like outrage blue in color. As the image move like a real entity, it dances in the winds as it slowly spoke to Cross. "To go forward you must paint me a wonderful painting of myself. The more lively it is the better. You may start any time" The beast said while a pop of smoke reveals a pain brush and everything you may need to paint.

Getting the paint bush Cross said. "great first a maze then chess match after it painting ha! Fine, I'll do it at least it's not that hard" Cross started to paint the creature on the wall. As every stroke, he did it become like the creature on the wall but once the creature saw it he frowned. "Wrong! You're a magician boy I said lively use your magic and imagine your mana flowing on the paintbrush and make the painting live!" The creature said to Cross who was now dumbfounded by what he just heard.

"Imagine my mana flow in the paintbrush..." Cross started to paint again but this time a black light was limiting from the brush he was holding. His brush dance in the wall he was starting at a time past and about 20 minutes later a replica of the creature was made but like the creature, it opened its eyes and stared at Cross. "Well looks like it becomes alive," Cross said as he saw his painting move and played with the creature on the wall. The creature looks at Cross and vanishes in black smoke.

Walking forward without looking back Cross was now holding a paintbrush in his left hand and a wand to his right. Once he made it in front of the door he opened it. It doesn't have any riddle or anything like that because "I Dream made a mistake well nothing to do just go with the flow"

(A/N: Sorry I kind of mistakenly forgot that for each time you want to get to the other room you need to complete one I repeat ONE trial and I made it to two trials per hallways thing so sorry gonna fix it it later. not the chapters before just the later chapters)

Walking inside Cross was greeted by a gargoyle. It was looking at Cross like a predator it slowly flaps its wings and flowed upwards holding a spear in its hands it aimed at Cross before throwing it at him. Cros dodge to the left while casting a Defitus spell. "F*ck and here I thought getting hit by an arrow is crazy! THIS THING IS AFTER MY LIFE DAMN IT!" He shouted while doing for his life.

He stood still and let the lance hit him but it only crazy his defense before shatering while the lance comes back in the gargoyle's hands. "Thank god it's just enough to defense how long am I gonna stay here then? Or am I have to defeat the gargoyle?" Cross said before firing a mana blast in the gargoyle who dodge it by moving to the left. Cross saw this and fire a Mana seeking blast looking at the gargoyle as it followed it but he saw the lance coming towards him and he quickly created a Defitus spell. In fact after just casting it before it shatters.

Seeing this Cross thought of something that would help him in this situation. He can cast a Defitus spell before firing mana seeking blast but he doesn't have the time he needed to look at it with concentration he would need to create a second one before it would it the gargoyle as it is fast but not as fast as the wooden sparrow he fought a few hours before.

"Ok Cross thing again for a third of the fifth time the gargoyle has a pattern it would aim at me for 3 seconds before firing and stop for 1 second for the lance to get back to his hand I have 4 seconds in total to stop him. Considering of how fast he is and how fast my mana blast is it would take 12 seconds for my mana blast to hit him while my Defitus spell would take away 4 second of its time so I would need 2 more Defitus spell on me so if I can make a layer of 1 inc defense covering my entire body it would help me my mana is already at 2/10 of it since the beginning I have couple of tries since Defitus takes 1/100 of my mana peruse and I have use it 10 times now while casting 5 mana seeking blast"

As Cross imagines a multiple-layer shield around his body like a blanket covering himself. He had tried it for a few more hours as he dodges or blocks by just using the regular spell to block. Every time he would try to make a two-layer mana shield it would break under too much mana or too low sometimes it would disconnect the connection of the flow of mana is the second layer.

After 3 more hours Cross finally did the two-layer mana shield. "Finally! been doing it for 7 hours now adding the time I need to recharge my mana or wait for it to refill. Ok, now Cross for the easy part adding another layer would be more difficult than the last one as that gargoyle would strike your mana shield before you completed or tried it" Cross said while waving his wand making the final third layer. He has tried making the second layer for hours so he already knows what he has to do for it to work just needed to adjust the mana flow.

The gargoyle just stared at Cross while firing a spear at him. Cross didn't flinch and he knows he had a mana shield locking its strike at him. After a few minutes of trying he has done it. Cross made a three-layer main shield. "Finally done it! Now for your sh*t head I'm gonna kill you!" Cross said firing mana seeking last at the gargoyle as it flying all over the place. Cross maintained his eye contact on its body while his first mana shield was destroyed.

As his mana seeking blast slowly came closer to the gargoyle his mana shield also begone to be destroyed. As his last mana shield broke he has hit the gargoyle n its head making it explode while its rocky body crashes everywhere he is.

*BOOM*

*TIG*

*TIG*

Opening his eyes Cross looks around and he sighs with a big breath of air. "Finally it's done. That thing is really kind of cool looking if you don't mind if it tried to kill you that is" Cross said sitting down and eating some fruit that he has saved up from the last time he saw it. He has also go some stake with him to enjoy. "I'll stay here for a few hours to recover my mana and rest for a bit"
