The Sage
When The Knight woke up in the Junk Pit a third time, the Godseeker was awake. The Knight looked up at it.
"Creeper," it said, "Did thee wake us?
"Revived, this kingdom. These Gods, tuned and bested, gleaming in mind. Bright. Sharp.
...And this? Our form swells? Large? Nay. Immense. Majestic. Hibernation, so long forced upon Us, yet the shell that results is strong... So strong!
Thine gaze is adoring. Ye must think Us Godly. Amusing, foolish. But thou art faced with enormity and beauty, true..."
The Knight hit it with the Dream Nail.
Reappearing in the Godhome, The Knight went back to the hallway with the doors, where the lock on the third one vanished, and it opened. The Knight walked inside and once again heard the Godseeker's voice. "Lowly brute! Blindest of worms! Again thee challenge the Gods? What divine whim has granted thee the strength to endure their presence, where no others may stand? Fight then, struggle then, and keenly shall We listen for thy destruction!"
It appeared in an arena covered in hex-shaped yellow glass and honeycombs, but the room was empty, and the bell rang immediately, as the Knight went on to fight Elder Hu, the Collector, and the God Tamer. It happened again when The Knight arrived in an arena that was dark and tinted red, with lanterns of red flame hanging from the ceiling.
After resting on a bench and fighting Galien and Grey Prince Zote, it happened again in an arena full of floating platforms with acid covering the bottom. The Knight then defeated Hornet, before appearing in the Goodseeker's room. It looked down at The Knight, then spoke. "Thou art painfully persistent! Why dost thou defile this pantheon with thine presence? Seek ye glory, o vain one? Thou misunderstand Our purpose. Through ritual combat are We attuned to the voices of the Gods. Ever higher do they lead Us! Higher and higher and higher! Until through Godly focus do We attain communion with that great power sleeping in the Kingdom's heart…"
The Knight walked through the door. It entered an arena resembling Oro and Mato's, but the nails stuck in the ground were even larger. The little shopkeeper Sly was sitting in the center of the room. It noticed The Knight, and suddenly an enormous nail, many times his body's size, came spinning down from above. Sly caught it, then let out a battle cry.
Suddenly, Sly dashed forward at incredible speed, and swung his nail even faster, hitting The Knight head-on. The Knight dashed away as Sly continued his 3-swing combo, then jumped into the air and spun like a buzzsaw. The Knight made use of the opening when he landed to land a hit of its own. Sly turned around lightning-fast, and The Knight dove out of the way as he unleashed a great slash. It hit him once more, then jumped away from a cyclone slash. The Knight dodged attacks and hit once until Sly finally fell, dropping his nail.
The Knight looked up at the Godmaster on her throne, but suddenly Sly jumped back up into the air, brandishing his nail again. He fell to the ground, then leapt straight towards The Knight. The Knight tried to get away, but Sly instantly began spinning, and it was struck. Sly began bouncing off the walls, incredibly fast, in seemingly random directions. Whenever he went near The Knight, he spun towards it, and The Knight dove away. After a few times, The Knight figured out the best window to hit Sly, and eventually whittled him down until he was truly defeated. His nail spun away and embedded into the ground, and Sly bowed.
