Getting himself up took a while. Clark had barely regained enough energy while Devi and Crim had been returned to the taming space to rest properly. The battle had been unexpected but also enlightening. He had gained a lot of information about the mysterious people that had created this dungeon, but even more about the gargoyle species.

The ancient gargoyle was one that was forced to gain strength beyond what its body could handle. This was a taboo for any tamer because it spelled incredible pain for their beast. On top of that, it could cause the bond between tamer and beast to shatter.

Even more shocking was that the ancient gargoyle had not desired to truly battle Clark. It had desired to find the one human that had come in and been with a gargoyle naturally. Having one as a spirit beast had set Alexander apart in the ancient gargoyle's eyes.
