Inside the cave, Lucifer can be seen walking through a corridor just barely large enough for him to stand straight up. "This is not what I remember when I came here in my last life, then again I came here a long time after the apocalypse happened and by then the earthquakes had shifted around the cave quite a lot."
After walking for a bit he sees light ahead and what looks to be a hole just big enough for him to squeeze through, after barely managing to squeeze himself in he looks around the room.
Lucifer first notices that the cave is no longer a cave the walls look like walls you would see on a castle and there is a red carpet on the ground leading up to what looks like an alter, there are also torches leading from the hole he just squeezed through up to the alter as well.
"Okay this is not what I remember at all even if I came here years later I would have seen something resembling these walls or even the carpet on the ground..."
Walking up to the alter Lucifer notices 3 things the first being a book in the middle, the second a crystal on the right, and lastly the thing he came here for the "tears of god."
"Great they are here I was starting to worry that I was in the wrong place, what is this book and crystal then? If they were not here when I came here years later that means either someone took them and did not find the tears or they were lost in the rubble of the earthquakes."
Looking at the book Lucifer first notices how extraordinary it looks, the book is black with a golden embossing as well as the face of what looks to be a dragon in the center.
Picking up the book Lucifer looks for some type of title but finds nothing it's just a blank cover, opening the book all Lucifer sees is a recipe that involves the tears he was looking for and the crystal but also one other ingredient called "Spirits lily."
"Hmm now I'm in a dilemma here I can either use the tears for what I was going to use them for or I can try and make this recipe I'm assuming it's done threw alchemy... Well if whatever this is going to make involves the tears it can only be something better so I think it is worth a shot, all the tears would have done for me anyway was boost my cultivation and I already have the Chaos meridians so its not that big of a deal."
After he was done with the alter he decided to look around the room to make sure he was not missing something in the corner of the room he noticed something with a faint glow walking up to it his eyes widened in shock.
"This... why is this here?" Taking the object in his hand it looked to be some sort of purple stone.
"I am going to assume that this was also something that should have been by the alter After all this will help with finding those "spirit lilys" but not only that this stone is called a "Seeking Stone" they can be used to find all types of treasures whether it's a legendary sword, a dragons egg, as well as rare or even mythical plants for alchemy."
"Alright, it's time I get out of here before this cave falls on my he-"
"BOOM" A rock flies past Lucifer's head as he swiftly dodges it, looking back to see what attacked him he sees a big golem with a sword.
"Intruder put the items back from where you got them and I shall let you live," the golem says pointing its sword at Lucifer.
Lucifer not bothering to respond vanishes from his position and reappears behind the golem and throws a punch at its leg but to his surprise the golem did not budge an inch.
The golem turns around and swings its sword toward Lucifer at shocking speed so much so that he barely gets out of the way in time. "How strong is this thing? I should be the strongest being on this planet at the moment... I should get out of here something is not right a golem does not just appear they have creators and if someone put this golem here to protect these items then that means they know that I'm trying to take them but first I'm going to have to deal with this golem by ripping out its core.
Lucifer springs into action dodging another attack from the golem by jumping over the sword, he then leaps onto the golem's back and grabs the core of the golem pulling with all his strength and ripping it out.
But again the golem surprises him, instead of dying because its core is gone it keeps fighting and attacking him without showing signs of stopping Lucifer tries to think of why this golem is still alive and remembers that some golems have multiple cores one in the back of the golem and one in the chest.
"It knows that I know about cores now so I doubt it would let me near its chest to rip out the other core in that case I'm going to have to use a long-ranged attack." Looking around the room for something he could throw he sees above the altar two swords crossing over one another the kind you would see in castles, grabbing the swords he realizes that after throwing these he won't be able to use them again.
"I should try to throw one as a distraction and have the other right behind it if I do it correctly he will hit one sword away leaving the other a perfect opening." Following this idea Lucifer Vanishes and reappears to the left of the golem and throws the first sword as hard as he can and then does the same for the second sword throwing it right behind the first, the golem sees the sword flying at him and realizes it can't dodge so instead it hits the first sword away and prepares to attack Lucifer again when all of the sudden it feels something pierce its second core.
Looking down the golem sees a sword in its chest after a few moments it seems to realize what had happened to him and then looks back up to see Lucifer with a wide smile on his face. "My master won't let you get away with taking her things, good luck mortal," the golem says as it powers down."
"Alright let's get out of here this cave is going to fall apart any minute now."
After Lucifer leaves the cave about an hour later a figure appears in what looks like a spirit-type form looking at the golem with a sad look on their face.
