Chapter 44

As the sun began to break in the sky, the loud chirping of birds could be heard, followed by the rustling of panes, escorted by different footsteps. Walking amidst the thick oak trees and maple hedges is Oliver and From the way that he is walking, someone could suggest that he is in haste.
How long has he been walking? He couldn't remember. He remembered what happened some hours ago. He defeated Rex and the man acknowledged him. He went to meet the King and that was when he learned about it. The Book of the Undead. The real one. He can vividly remember how King Drax said it.
**Flashbacks**

“Why did you want to see me?", Oliver asked.
“I know you're the savior. There is no time for stories. There is a book that you must get from the
The book was created by the ancient gods, and it consisted of how to use different dark magic, control evil entities that were sealed a long time ago, and how to use the resource of the book to rule the middle land. With the aid of the book, you can save the world. The book is your final test. It is a must that you get it. The compass shall lead you”, King Drax replied to him.
“Who are you?", Oliver asked.
“I am your Uncle”, King Drax replied to him. “There is a being in the temple. Her name is Medusa Gorgon. The only way that you can defeat her is if you use this”, he handed him a small bottle.
**End of Flashbacks**.
He was now 10 yards away from the Ancient temple. He surveys his surroundings. It was a dilapidated structure, and one could imagine that no one had ever visited or stepped inside for an extended period of time. Thick shrubs have grown all around the building, and some have even wriggled up to the ceiling. Looking closely at the brick used in building the temple, you would have known that it was formulated of clay or ancient brick.
He can sense something dark and sinister inside the temple. He activated his powers and he tightened his grip on the destiny sword.

Oliver looked around the temple, and he could glimpse numerous sculptures, skeletons with arrows in their craniums, rotten bodies, and different treasures like jewelry and diamonds. It was clear to him that they came for the treasures. He wandered his eyes around, wondering where to go next when his eyes settled on a staircase. Without disinclination, he proceeded towards the stairs, but a loud hissing sound stopped him followed by the loud chuckling of the medusa herself.
"I haven't glimpsed a visitor for a long time," her seductive voice was heard.
“Show yourself, coward!”Oliver retorted. He put his hand into his pocket and he brought out the bottle and he opened it. It contained a white liquid substance. He put it into his eyes and it burned him for a few seconds.
"How dare you!" Medusa shrieked angrily and she appeared. “Why are you not turning to stone?"She asked, baffled. She looked at the floor and she saw the bottle. “How did you get that?”She asked and Oliver smirked.
She released three arrows toward him, but they ended up bouncing back to her. Oliver is surrounded by an invisible shield.
"Let's dance snake woman," Oliver concluded and attacked her.
He attacked Medusa Gorgon without relenting, pummeling her, and using double-slashed incursions.
Medusa also did a good job by shaking and moving back and forth to avoid being mutilated.
Oliver doubles his attack, He raises his blade which he uses to stab Medusa Gorgon on her tail.
She shrieked in pain. "No one has ever managed to give me a scratch," Medusa uttered with a small chuckle.
"We are just getting started, snake-head," Oliver replied plainly. "Am not leaving here without the undead book"
"Let's see you try again, Oliver." Medusa shrieked and released three arrows at him.
He quickly moved out of the way. He did a backflip as another arrow whooshed toward him. But he was slow to circumvent Medusa's strike as she slashed her on the arm with a sword.
He retreated, but Medusa never gave him the chance to regain his stance. She curled her snake tail and wrapped it around his neck, using it to choke him.
Oliver grumbled in pain as he felt the snake on Medusa's head nipping him all over the body.
"Always keep it in mind, Oliver no matter the circumstance you find yourself in, don't ever give up. The whole world is depending on you. Sebastian's voice rang in his head.
Closing his eyes, he went deep within himself. He went for his powers. All the power he harnesses. He could feel them lying down on his stomach, waiting to be unleashed. It was like a golf ball rotating. Then he felt all the power rushing all over his veins, coming down to his brain and going down to his medulla oblongata. Without hesitation, he channeled them into the sword, and he noticed the look of shock in Medusa's eyes.
He punched Medusa and the latter went flying. He rushed to her and with a single strike he decapitated Medusa's head, and the latter let out a painful scream.
He climbed up the stairs and he saw the book floating. He took the book and without wasting any seconds, he opened the book, and he was surprised by what was written inside. The words inside the book were written in a strange language that he didn't understand.

Taking a deep breath, Oliver stares at the book. This time, he consolidated all his attention on it. He shut out all the noise that might distract him and allowed himself to focus only on the book. After what seemed like forever, he finally read it. "Οι λέξεις και η δύναμη του βιβλίου μπορούν να διαλυθούν μόνο από τον αληθινό ημίαιμο με τη βοήθεια της αρχαίας μάγισσας." Immediately he said those words, he vanished.
