They all l turned their attention to the door that was opening, Arlo helped Alfreda up and supported her by putting her arm over his shoulder. Alice helped by doing the same thing at the other side of Alfreda and they all walked through the door.
"Is this supposed to be the treasure room?" asked Alice with a perplexed expression.
They expected the room to be filled with gold and treasures, but all they saw was an ocean of random junk items.
"Maybe this isn't the junkyard room, where he keeps his trash?" Said Arlo jokingly.
"I think I can explain this" said Alfreda with a unsatisfied expression.
They turned their heads to Alfreda and payed attention to what she said next.
"I can only speculate, but I think Baal stole anything that made anyone happy, because he was envious of them"
They all looked at each other and thought "I worked hard and risked my life just for this?!?!?!" The negative mood changed after Arlo ran and dove into the pile of items after saying "If other people treasured them so much, then some should be worth a lot"
They knew Arlo wouldn't share the treasure anyways, so they weren't that disappointed. Alfreda had a different goal anyways and Alice was happy as long as Arlo was happy. Alfreda began digging around to search for the item she was looking for, but it would probably take months to find it under all the debris. She found a golden shovel after a small search and used that to dig at a faster rate. Some of the stuff in that pile stunk like rotten corpses, so her eyes began watering and she almost vomited from that stench, nevertheless she continued the search.
While Arlo was swimming in the loot and Alfreda was digging the loot, Alice was looking around for stuff on the surface. The hills of loot had a lot of sharp objects and weapons, so she had to watch her steps so that she wouldn't get priced through the feet. She also had to be careful that the loot wouldn't sink her in like quicksand and suck her to the depths of the loot abyss. She did parkour to avoid some parts of the loot pit and stumbled across something strange after a bit. It looked like a female head made out of gold and it seemed like there was a body buried under the loot.
"It's made out of gold, brother might like it (I bet he'll praise me if I bring it to him)"
She made her way to the golden statue and began digging it out with her hands. After some digging, she found out that it definitely had a body, so she started excavating at a faster pace. It only took an hour to fully unravel the golden statue, she finally saw the whole figure. It looked beautiful and elegant, like a doll and it was wearing a beautiful dress. It was about as tall as Alfreda and it had a plain expression.
Alice tried lifting it up to carry it, but she couldn't even get it an inch off the ground, it was too heavy for her. She took a look around to search for help and she luckily found Alfreda to the left of her field of vision. She called Alfreda over and quickly got her attention.
"Alfie!!! Come over and help me, I found some treasure!!!"
Alfreda went to Alice's direction with a coffin strapped to her back and a cheerful expression. When she arrived, she also tried lifting it, but it still didn't budge.
"Sorry, I can't do anything either. It would be a different story if I had mana left, but I used it all on... Something" said Alfreda with a embarrassed expression.
Something erupted out of the hill next to them. Like a dolphin jumping out of water, Arlo majestically launched out of the hill. Alice was in awe.
"I smell money!!!!!! $_$"
They noticed Arlo's attire was different, he still had the mask on, but everything neck down had changed. He was wrapped up in linen cloth like a mummy and was wearing a worn down black cloak on top of it.
"What are you looking at??? Oh, is it because of my new armour??? The cloak I'm using is the demon lord of envy's artifact and the linen cloth is unbreakable (The abyss told me about them)" said Arlo with a joyful tone.
Alfreda was surprised that Arlo knew the properties of those items, since they weren't common knowledge, but she decided to stay silent for now.
"Wow brother, you look so cool" said Alice with an amazed expression.
"Look what I found for you" said Alice while pointing at the statue.
Arlo was joyful, until he recognized what that statue was.
"Alright, everyone get out of the way" said Arlo while unsheathing his sword and shaking with hesitation.
"MOONLIGHT ABYSSAL EXTERMINATOR"
Arlo slashed at the statue with his eyes closed because he didn't want to see all that gold go to waste. Most of the statue was instantly destroyed and the rest of it disintegrated soon after.
They were both extremely shocked because they thought he valued money over anything else in the world. Did he finally lose what's left of his sanity?
"What a waste, she should be able to escape this place now. I'll make her pay a hundredfold of that statue" thought Arlo while Clenching his teeth.
"Are you all done searching??? We should close the dungeon now" said Alfreda with an exhausted expression.
Arlo noticed that the coffin Alfreda was carrying was too heavy for her, so he took out his infinity pouch and absorbed in the coffin.
"So that's where it went. Mind giving that pouch back?" Said Alfreda with a livid expression and veins bulging out of her forehead.
"Sure, for a hundred gold coins $_$"
