________________________________________________________________________________________
Ace in the morning heads to the death forest again in search of the guardian of the floor.
Ace arrives in the death forest, Scanning for a powerful aura. Finding the Fairy trees aura in the north-west, Ace then finds a powerful Wind element aura east of him and a powerful earth aura South of him.
Ace heads south as fast as he can, after a few hours of travel Ace finds himself surrounded by skeleton soldiers, Quickly he summons his shield and summons Winfred. Drawing his sword Ace defends against the skeletons onslaught of attacks.
Winfred unleashes his vines upon the skeletons. As they descend, destruction follows. The bones of the skeletons are no match for the crushing force of Winfred's vines, their brittle structures splintering into a million pieces with a sickening crunch.
Ace dodges and weaves around the skeletons and the vines. managing to kill a few skeletons with his shield.
After all the skeletons are finished off, Ace stops to breath when he hears "Ding... Increased Drop Rate Activated."
Ace walked around the battle field, eventually finding a white crystal orb, looking closely at it Ace sees a mystical fog moving within it. Ace quickly analyses it finding it to be a Spirit Orb.

After finding the item Ace goes around a picks up 11 support blessing shards from the skeleton corpses.
He puts Winfred away after thanking him, Summoning his sand golem.
Ace places the Spirit orb in the golems chest, the sand golem's aura could be felt growing massively.
"Ding... Sand Golem has received Sand Bindings Blessing."
"Ding... Devouring Sand Golem has evolved to Devouring Sand Giant."

after a full day of walking he finds himself in a stone circle, the ground made of perfectly carved polished stone, runes engraved into the floor making a magic circle.
An eerie feeling washes over Ace as a black cloud forms in the centre of the area as a Lich King appears in it surrounded by various skeletons.
Ace clearly sees 2 Mage Skeletons, 10 Soldier Skeletons, 2 Hill Troll Skeletons and 1 Hero Skeleton. What scared Ace the most was the level of all their gear, these skeletons all had B-rank or higher equipment.

Ace looks at the skeletons with slight fear, as a chill runs down his spine. Ace quickly summons Winfred, his Sand Giant and his King Steel Fur Wolf to assist him.
As the skeletons start attacking Ace summons his shield and a skeletal soldier to fight for him. Ace then activates Lightning haste, Forest guardian and Stat boost. with great speed Ace manages to land a few strikes against the skeletons while dodging the close range and long range attacks coming from all directions. Dealing little to no damage against the skeletons Ace does manage to slow them down enough for Winfred, his sand giant or his king steel fur wolf to attack them and deal large amounts of damage.
Winfred Focuses his attacks on the Hero Skeleton, keeping its attention and dealing with it from a range. Its high soul stat makes it hard to deal with and its weapon is sharp enough along with its strength to cut and slice through the many vines and thorns Winfred throws at it. Looking to be on equal footing, they continue the fight sending shockwaves through the air and unleashing a powerful aura from both sides.
Ace sees Winfred fight on equal footing with the skeleton, Ace gets worried as he knows eventually Winfred's stamina will fade and he will loose.
Ace runs over and attacks the hero skeleton, using his intense speed he manages to land a few attacks and avoid getting hit by the sword. The other skeletons being taken down by the sand giant and king steel fur wolf.
Ace and Winfred quickly deal with the hero skeleton. One of Winfred's vines crushing it after a few minutes of Ace joining the fight.
Ace thanks Winfred and then puts him away to recover his stamina. Ace races over to the other's and helps them defeat the few remaining skeletons.
Within a few minutes all that's left is the lich standing over them.

Ace grits his teeth as he charges with great speed at the lich.
As Ace is charging at the lich, the sand giant snares the lich with his new blessing. Using this opportunity Ace Lands two attacks against the lich with his shield dealing little damage.
In response the lich fires a poison blast at Ace and earth bullets at the sand giant and the king steel fur wolf. Ace even in mid air manages to twist his body and dodge the attack from the lich.
The sand giant takes the attack head on, dealing moderate damage. The King Steel Fur wolf dodged the attack, then launches into his own attack sending multiple steel spines into the chest of the lich.
After nearly 30 minutes of not making any progress. Winfred speaks to Ace "Master let me out, my stamina is mostly recovered I can beat this monster." Ace surprised to hear Winfred thinks about the suggestion and decides to put the sand giant away and summon Winfred.
Winfred Starts attacking relentlessly along side the steel spines from the King steel fur wolf and the shield attacks from Ace. The lich's HP quickly depletes.
As the lich falls to the ground and Ace puts his sword and shield away, a eerie black light appears and fills the area as the lich gets up again and starts attacking the unprepared Ace, Winfred and Wolf. Ace draws his spear and dodges the attack. The wolf gets hit and Ace puts him away. Winfred manages to block the attack with his giant vines.
Ace looks at Winfred with shock and fear as they struggle to attack and dodge the lich now due to their fleeting stamina.
Ace Activates his origin power and instantly smashes into the lich's chest dealing heaps of damage, Ace keeps attacking with earth elements exploding from his body. causing massive amounts of physical and soul based damage quickly killing the lich a second time.
As Ace collapses to the ground he hears.
"Ding… Death Forest Guardian defeated."
"Ding... BOON Randomising. BOON randomised. You received +1 power level to all Control and Support Blessing."
Ace feels a small surge in power as he slowly gets up, battered and covered in bruises. Ace thanks Winfred and puts him away as Ace sets up camp and rests for the night, eating some food he packed.
While resting he loots the battle ground, getting 5 support blessing shards, 3 enhancement blessing shards, 10 control blessing shards and a 2 Mystic dark Fabric rolls.
