After getting out from between the iron slab and the platform, Dave didn't know if this was a trap. On the map, the way to the chest was through this platform. He checked the metal slab that had fallen over him.
It was so large that it covered the entire platform, he could see that something was odd about this thing. He once again stood in the same place and once again something was falling. Dave ran away from there on time because he was ready for such a thing to happen.
The ceiling was made of jade, like the walls so he didn't understand from where these things were coming. The map also showed that it was no trap so it only meant that someone was doing this on purpose.
He looked around here and there to search for whoever was responsible for this. His first guess was that It was a skill, he was sure about it or rather it was some kind of item like the one he had gotten before from killing a terrorist.
" What if I destroy the platform?" Dave spoke and then punched into the platform. It didn't budge at all and only left an insignificant dent. He felt hopeless and disappointed without any clue as to where was the way through this platform.
" Activate skill [ Appraise]" Dave spoke while touching the platform.
=====
[ Crusher Platform]
[ Hidden Door To Underground Dungeon Room]
=====
' If it's a door then how do I open it?' Dave felt frustrated about it. He even tried to move the platform from its original place but it didn't work.
' It's heavy and I had made it heavier! If only I was a little bit stronger...' Dave thought and circled the platform to look for something odd.
Nothing was different, the platform was the same in every place.
" Wait, isn't the height different from the time when I came here, is it because of these metal slabs over it?" Dave spoke as he noticed that there were some cracks below this platform.
He decided to go over the platform one more time, a metal slab came falling once again and dave jumped down on time. He was right, the platform is being pushed down to the ground. Seeing that he repeated the process again and again.
Finally, when the 10th metal slab crashed on the platform. The platform started to shake and started to fall. Dave tried to jump off but before he knew it there was nothing below his feet and he was falling along with the platform.

Meanwhile In Luxor town, after the sirens of danger were heard by others. Every adventurer gathered and readied themselves for a fight. Soon they saw several people wearing black hooded jackets over the roofs.
" They are the enemy! Kill them." An adventurer shouted as he jumped to fight the man in the black hood. Soon several others joined and a never seen before chaos occurred in Luxor town.
Adventurers fought in groups and were fighting pretty well against the Black Dawn. However, the other party fought like brainless animals. They had no skill and just jumped into battle without thinking much. They were lacking both in combat and using skills.
" This... Stop killing them...They are not the black dawn, they are CIVILIANS!" One of the adventurers shouted as he recognized a certain person under the hood.
The confusion caused many people to pull back and just defend themselves against the attack.
" Restrain them! Knock them out," The team of guards arrived on the scene.
" Skill Activate [ Lite Shock]" One of the guards shouted as his attack hit several people in black hooded jackets.
" Everyone take shelter, No adventure is allowed to fight the assailants. Take shelter or evacuate!" A guard wearing a red uniform with medals came. He was the superior leading the force of guards against the enemies.
While everyone was busy pulling out from a fight or restraining the civilians who were hypnotized by Black dawn. Suddenly people heard a deafening explosion. Everything came to a still and the bell rang louder than before, and an official announcement was made to evacuate from the crowded places.

4 hours before anyone knew about the crisis, John and Oscar had arrived in the city. Oscar ran, still wearing his damaged armor toward the church of Luxor Town.
" It can't be in the church!" John spoke as followed from behind.
" There is a demon and I am sure about it, so Drink a mana-replenishing potion and fly in the sky, I will need you to scout the area for me and launch an attack," Oscar responded, " Make them come out of their holes if they are hiding that is when the two of us fight together."
John did as Oscar instructed without asking any questions. He activated his skill and golden crystal wings appeared on his back. Using that he flew into the air over the church.
Suddenly someone fired an arrow at him, it could have been by mistake but soon several types of attacks were fired at him.
"Something is going on in the church, Oscar was right." John landed on top of one dome in the temple and saw that there were several people in a black hooded jackets lined up. He also saw the priests and some guards hanged at the door.
John scattered the crystals in the wings to launch an attack, the crystals pierced through the bodies of those who were firing arrows at him.
" You fiends, I won't let you do as you please!" John screamed declaring that he has come to stop thier plan.
John was confused about how these many people were able to invade Luxor. How could the guards have not noticed it by now?
Just when he was thinking these things one of his wings was cut by someone. He turned to look at who did this and saw that it was a man with long blue hair with a one-edged blade. Suddenly the man disappeared from his sight and attacked the other wing of John, cutting it like before with great speed.
" Now the golden birdie is unable to fly." The man chuckled as he spoke, " You would make a great sacrifice."
