Lloyd smiled and started walking away, feeling proud.
"That's the wrong way, Lloyd." Ace said." You're going back the way we came."
Lloyd's smile faded as Ace's words registered. "Oops, got a bit too carried away there. Thanks for the heads up, Ace," he admitted, turning around to head in the correct direction.
The trio started their journey, into the unknown.
"Well, now we have a heavy hitter. The night should be more easier and safer with the new addition." Zeke said not wanting what happened last night occuring again.
The journey started off chatty but as they went on less words were said until none of them were in the mood to start up a conversation.
*SOME HOURS LATER*
The trio stood there, on a single spot. There's eye's were fixed on something, something that ignited the flames of hope in them.
Standing in front of them was a building that looked hundreds of year old. The building was covered in moss, small trees and vines
They scanned the area to make sure there was no hostile creatures around or guarding the house they just discovered.
The house was a small, self containing home that could house one or two people at most.
"Going in and exploring for any thing helpful, is the best course of action." Ace suggested.
"No splitting up, this place gives me the creeps," Zeke added.
One after the other, they all got inside the house. To none of their surprise the whole house was just a single room, inside looked messy, most of the furnitures were destroyed and cobwebs filled the entire room.
"What the hell happened here?" Lloyd asked
The group surveyed the wreckage, and Lloyd's question hung in the air, echoing their collective bewilderment.
"Look for anything that you think might be of help to us." Ace said.
Lloyd noticed something strange when he stepped on the carpet in the middle, something felt off about it. He moved to remains of the table to the side and removed the carpet.
As Lloyd lifted the carpet, he discovered a hidden trapdoor beneath, revealing a mysterious compartment below. Intrigued, he contemplated whether to explore further or leave it untouched.
"Guys, come check this out." Lloyd called out.
His voice echoed through the room as his friends gathered around, their curiosity piqued. Together, they faced the decision to delve into the unknown or to leave the mysterious compartment undisturbed.
The group exchanged hesitant glances, torn between the allure of discovery and the uncertainty of what lay beneath.
"Let's open it and see what's down there." Lloyd said.
"What, are you crazy. What if a monster stronger than anything we've faced before is down there waiting in the shadows." Zeke said.
There gaze turned to Ace, who was still looking at the door.
"Zeke's right." Ace said.
"You're finally using that brain of yours." Zeke said.
"But, who knows what could be down there. Maybe materials that might the needed later might be down there. Imagine we lose a potential valuable asset because of fear of the unknown." Ace said.
The group weighed the risks and benefits of their decision, caught between fear and the potential rewards hidden beneath the trapdoor. Lloyd pondered Ace's perspective, recognizing the importance of assessing the situation before making a final choice.
Ace, considering both perspectives, proposed a compromise. "Let's take precautions. We'll open it cautiously, stay alert, and if things seem too dangerous, we'll rethink our approach. Agreed?" The group nodded, ready to proceed with a blend of curiosity and caution.

Lloyd summoned the Skeleton Warrior for protective measures.
Lloyd ordered the Skeleton Warrior, to go down the trapdoor and stay there for some minutes. They opened the trapdoor, the Skeleton Warrior jumped down and they closed it immediately.
Lloyd looked at the health bar of the Skeleton Warrior and it remained at 100%, after five minutes of waiting and the health of the Skeleton Warrior didn't drop by even one.
Relieved by the Skeleton Warrior's unscathed status, Lloyd and his friends cautiously reopened the trapdoor. With the initial test proving no immediate danger, the group decided to descend into the mysterious compartment, intrigued by what awaited them below.
The group, fueled by a mix of relief and curiosity, cautiously descended the ten-foot drop, only to be met with a scene that surpassed their wildest expectations—a discovery that left Lloyd, Zeke, and Ace in awe, realizing they had stumbled upon a place of power.
"We've hit the jackpot this time." Zeke grinned like a mad man.
"This, this is a gold mine." Ace said by the marvelous sight they were seeing right now.
"You bet it is." Lloyd shouted in joy.
The room unfolded before them, revealing twelve distinct armor sets and over thirty diverse weapons—possessions beyond their wildest dreams, now laid out as if beckoning the group to claim them for their own.
Lloyd's voice echoed with excitement as he urged his friends to seize the opportunity, proclaiming, "Grab everything you need—no, just take it all!" The room resonated with the sounds of eager footsteps and the clattering of armor and weapons being claimed.
After some minutes the basement that was once filled with weapons and armors had now been emptied, not even the weakest ones was left behind.
Now Lloyd and his friends had equipped themselves with full sets of armors and even the Skeleton Warrior was given new equipments.
Lloyd wore the Armor that was called The Demon God set and he also had a blade strapped to his back.

Infernal Crimsonshade Armor is a symphony of red and black, intertwining like shadows cast by an inferno. The obsidian-black plates, adorned with crimson runes, form an imposing silhouette. Instead of an helmet, the Infernal Crimsonshade Armor had a mask that covers only the lower face. It looked like the month of a demon, that was filled with fangs and two long husks.
The armor gave a slight menacing aura that pulsates from time to time. Although the others couldn't feel it but Lloyd could.

The Draimo Armor Set was the a work of art. It consisted of two different colors Silver and Blue. The armor was silver and had blue spiral designs all over.
And the last the Warrior Skeleton who wore [Black King Set]. The armor was just black all through and didn't have any particular designs provides five stats to strength, five to defense and four to speed and one skill called [King's Might]. And he was also give the new sword. [Shadow Knight Blade] which gives three stats to speed and strength.
All equipment that was once in the basement was gone. The trio felt confident that what ever danger might come their way, they would be able to over come.
"Don't know about you guys but I felt alot stronger than before." Lloyd said.
Due to the mask on his face, his voice sounded alot deeper and menacing.
