Greg wakes up a while later when the sun is beginning to rise.
He looks at the clouds lost in thought. "Two days are left. It's time to speed things up."
He sits up and sees quill who is sitting next to him. while Gareth and Claw are a good distance away fighting with each other.
"What are you guys fighting for?" Greg asks both of them with mental communication.
"He started to eat my brothers." Claw roars loudly through thought.
"They were delicious and you kept howling after walking over to each of them." Gareth yells to counter his blame. "The boy sleeps and you think it's best to howl while he does."
"I WAS MORNING MY FALLEN!" Claw shouts.
"HE WAS TRYING TO SLEEP!" Gareth shouts back.
This continues for another minute until Greg hits them both over the head. "Enough, both of you it's time to go!"
Greg says while walking away with Quill on his shoulder. The two looked at him and didn't say a word as the followed along.
------
An hour of walking through the blistering sun passes before, Greg comes across a forest with stone looking trees that stand more than 80ft tall.
The leaves on the trees are green but the wood is smooth and it had different ores growing in them like dew stuck to the leaves.
"That is the titan domain, where creatures here are triple the size or more." Claw explains with trepidation.
After another 5 minutes running they finally reach this humongous forest. They walk a good distance into the forest.
Greg Immediately sees a large pack of giant [rank-D]{advanced stage} squirrels which are brown with green spots allowing them to blend into the environment better.
They are each around 6ft tall with beady red eyes and sharp fur. They are also picking the ores of the leaves and munching on them like acorns.
Just as Greg had noticed them they also notice him and especially how tiny he is, like the ores they eat from the trees.
The squirrels start sprinting towards Greg without hesitation!
One in the front sees the wolf that walked behind him and started squeaking, then all then squirrels start running to the left.
Greg sees this and grows confused. "Aren't they coming to attack?"
"No, I can smell the scent of fear pouring off of them. They are running!" Claw answers.
Suddenly the sounds of heavy breathes draw close along with thundering foot steps.
"TITAN WOLVES!" Claw roars to be louder than the increasing sound. The scent he smells is the same as one before.
"What are those?" Greg asks as he fused with Quill to fly above to get a better look. He takes off to see four 20ft tall wolves rushing after the group of squirrels.
These wolves look like gargoyles that should be sitting in front of a museum. Their fur hard like steel and their eyes have a fierce and ferocious hunger to them.
The claws of the wolves are serrated even though most creatures couldn't withstand their paws let alone the claws on them.
"amazing." Greg whispers admiring their grandeur.
He flies above them to search for a way to injure them fatally as their fur seems impenetrable.
The wolves in the front quickly notice him and the energy coming off him. It deviates from the squirrels and targets Greg.
It jumps up with its mouth a gap trying to swallow him in one gulp. However Greg is too fast for the wolf.
he avoids the attack with ease while sending a strong whirlwind of dark air at the wolf's face, which did nothing but annoy it.
Before Greg could go on the attack another wolf jumps from one tree to another until Greg was in it's range.
It chomps him mid-air as it falls to the ground with a large bang.
It caught him in its teeth! He tries to hold the mouth open for as long as possible. The commotion stirs garners the attention of the three remaining wolves who abandon the squirrel hunt to rush over.
The three other wolves surround Gareth and Claw, looking at them like juicy bugs to slurp up, making it impossible to assist Greg.
One wolf slams their paws down repeated like they're trying to catch mice, while another tries to snatch the two in its mouth with the third watching impatiently.
Suddenly a large iron spike rips out from the ground created by the impatient wolf but instead of piercing one of them it pushes them up. surprised the impatient wolf who didn't grasp their size properly.
They cling to the spine until they are able to see Greg. Who's about to be eaten.
"Quickly jump to that wolf" Gareth shouts while looking at the wolf crushing Greg in its teeth.
Both of them jump off the spike at the same time.
Gareth falls into the wolf's mouth while claw falls onto it's head.
"What… are… you doing… HERE!" Greg says in between strained breathes.
"I'm here to help you kill this wretch! now use your wings to send blasts of that whirlwind air at me. I'm going to fly into it's stomach." Gareth orders hurriedly.
Greg is worried but he can sense what Gareth is planning, easing his fears, so he does it without hesitation.
Gareth opens his wings as the gust hit him and goes flying forward. He releases a torrent of corrosive dark spit at the same time, which is spread out by the wind from the blast.
This combination coats the wolf's mouth and throat with the corrosive spit as Gareth falls farther down into the wolf's stomach.
At the same time this was happening, Claw is using his claws to dig into the eye of the wolf!
The attacks happened simultaneously causing the wolf to roar out int pain throwing Greg out of it's mouth and Claw off of it's head.
Gareth is still inside the wolf continuing to pour out corrosive spit which starts to burn and eat away at the wolf.
At the same time Greg free falling, is about to catch himself in the air, when a large boulder suddenly crashes into him and takes him hurdling towards a tree.
The Collision with the boulder broke a few of his ribs then being smashed between a rock and a hard place breaks the rest of his ribs and a majority of his other bones.
Greg and the boulder fall to the ground. he coughs up large amounts of blood as he tries to regain his breathe.
He quickly refocuses on the darkness in his body to hold his ribs in place.
The pain is immense but Greg pushes through it suddenly something in his mind clicked.
That's when he has an epiphany.
'If there's darkness in a badly as small as mine then there in definitely darkness in theirs.'
He looks up at the wolf in front of him with a wicked smile.
During that time the wolf with Gareth in his stomach is in terrible pain. The corrosive spit in his body was breaking it down more and more.
At the same time as Greg hits the tree, the spit in it's throat broke all the way through causing it's neck to rip open and massive amounts of blood to pour out.
As that happened his stomach also broke open due to the corrosive spit in it.
In the same moment Gareth fell out of the beast's stomach and the head of the beast falls off with a plop.
As that happened Greg has a gruesome idea in mind.
'If black stone comes from the dark world then I'll create a dark world entrance in the wolves.'
He did just that and although it is severely taxing on his mana.
he creates a dozen black stone spikes that rip out of the wolf from every angle killing it instantly.
The two remaining wolves are completely shocked and terrified by what they just witnessed.
Did two [rank-C]{advanced stage} wolves really just die so brutally?
The answer is yes.
They quickly do a 180 and sprint back towards their home hoping they would be safe there.
"You guys ready to go for a ride?" Greg says as he uses the last of his energy to bring Gareth, Claw, and the two beast mana cores into the dark world.
