Escaping the Dragon Graveyard

Caw caw caw...

A few birds seems to fly on top of their heads as the Garou knights tried to comprehend what John just said.

"I don't understand how a bat could be a man or vice versa, but since you are already here then don't ever think of getting out!" Kama yelled out in a serious tone as he brandished his scythes toward John.

John jumped back to avoid the scythes, but on the ground where he was about to land on burst out a pillar of acid along with a shout.

"Acid Pillar!"

John took out the hexagonal shield totems he had in his space and had two of the shield block him from the acid pillar and had the others at standby for other attacks.

Pew, pew, pew...

The sound of small things piercing through the air sounded around John as small seeds shot at him from the surrounding flytraps.

Swoosh!

Several white paper shuriken also flew toward him with razor-sharp edges that shines with sharpness.

John gathered the 50 shield totems together to completely enclose himself in a circle that sealed off every single opening.

"Xuan Wu Formation!"

Along with his shout, a giant turtle phantom appeared around him that blocked all the attacks while remaining unscathed in doing so.

Then the giant turtle vanished along with the shields and got replaced by 50 humanoid puppets with long claws.

"Go." John spoke coldly as the 50 puppets rushed toward the Garou knights and fought with them.

The four of them struggled with defending as 12 puppets attacked them separately, and not long after the first member of the Garou Knights to drop was Cosmos the plant magic user.

And just like a chain reaction started as the members of the Garou Knights keep dropping like flies, with Neppa as the second one, then Kamika.

The last one was Kama that struggled among 12 puppets as he kept roaring furiously every time he saw one of his teammates fall to the ground thinking that they died.

"You will pay for this! BATMAN!" With one last furious shout, Kama fell helplessly to the ground.

"Pfft! Batman." John laughed hearing Kama's last shout thinking what will Kama think when he finds out there is no such man named Batman in this world.

"Batman? Is it a man that became a bat or a bat that became a man?" Sebastian's voice suddenly sounded from above John causing him to jump up in fright.

"Can you stop appearing out of the most random places possible? And doing it so quietly is very annoying." John scolded in annoyance, but Sebastian didn't care as he was more curious about Batman.

"Don't care too much about the small details, I want to know more about this, Batman."

"Me too, John! I also want to know more about Batman." Cana spoke, she arrived at the same time as Sebastian.

'Is this what the others from earth called, the Batman rizz? That is said to be able to transcend space and time and affect others in different universes?'

Even though he was horrified at such a great level of rizz that transcends space and time, he still told what he thinks of Batman to Cana and Sebastian.

"Bruce Wayne is a man with great wealth under him on the surface, but once night descends he takes upon a whole new identity, by the way, Bruce Wayne is Batman's identity on the surface."

"When night descends, Bruce Wayne dons a suit of armor with bats as an inspiration and goes on a nightlife of fighting crime."

Cana came up with a guess upon hearing John's description. "So, Batman is a rich man who has too much time on his hands and decided to fight for justice?"

"No, Batman is a creepy man who walks in a spandex at night and fights weird villains, which are a joker, a riddled, and a guy obsessed with penguins." John said giving his most heartfelt opinion about Batman.

[Batman in main DC universe: Is someone badmouthing me?]

"What's a spandex?" This time, Sebastian asked, curious about the unknown clothing he never heard of before.

"Let's talk about it some other time, let's escape first before those four wake up from their sleep." John hurriedly stop them from being too curious and quickly went to the place where they came in and went out the same way.

But, not before cleaning up all the traces they had near the entrance, they made, and roughly after an hour, they were back to the surface.

They then left the area after cleaning up all their traces in that area and then went back to the fairy tail hotel where they rested for the day.

The next day, John, Cana, and Sebastian went out to relax and buy some stuff to which Cana went and chose many clothes for John.

"Cana, don't you think you already picked enough clothes?" John asked with twitching eyebrows while pointing to a small hill of clothes that Cana picked for him.

But, Cana didn't care and kept searching among the clothes that the store sells, then she found one that made her eyes shine.

"John! I found a set of clothing that is extremely suitable for you!" Following that she took the clothes she found and showed them to John.

Just taking one look at the clothes made John's eyes shine, he felt that this set of clothes is so cool.

[A/N: The set of clothes is the one on the cover of the book.]

John quickly took the set of clothes and went inside the dressing room to try them, though the set of clothes was hard to wear by himself so he asked for some assistance from the store's staff.

Once he was finished wearing the clothes, he went out of the dressing room, once he went out he immediately attracted the attention of everyone inside the clothing store.

Cana in particular was red from the tip of her ears to the base of her neck while she was staring at John.

"How is it?" John asked, in his new clothes he had a sense of military majesty, just like an iron-blooded general that went through countless wars.

And most importantly in this set of clothes, he looks so chic and suave that every young lady inside the store was blushing when looking at him.

"Okay, let's go pay for all the clothes." John said as he walked to the counter, upon arriving the staff there calculated their total costs.

"Okay, the total cost comes up to 1.2 million Jewels." The staff said after she finished calculating the price.

John nodded and paid the full amount since this amount of money is just a drop under the massive wealth that he has amassed over the years.

Then he put the clothes inside his space for easier traveling back to Magnolia, but before returning they went ahead and got some souvenirs for those they are close to inside the guild.

Outside Crocus, John asked Cana and Sebastian beside the carriage.

"Did you make sure you did not forget anything?"

Watching the two nodding, John and the two then entered the carriage for a journey back to Magnolia.
