[XP: 14 600 725]

"Welcome to the Treasuries Vault." Nersan´rah said with a prideful tone, making Danzel focus on the front of him and not his status.

`Now isn´t the time...´ Danzel thought bitterly as he made the floating window in front of him disappear

Though he had the XP to get the last 5 levels to reach 100 and have even some to spare, he wasn´t dumped enough to use them now with the presence of Nersan´rah.

Although they fought together and even spend some time learning about each other's personalities, Danzel couldn´t bring himself to trust Nersan´rah completely.

So if he really were to trigger his evolution by reaching level 100, then if Nersan´rah were to backstab him or something that sort he would be screwed.

He didn´t know what would happen if he were to be attacked mid the evolution process and he wasn´t either willing to know.

For now, he decided on the wait-and-see approach.

As he himself was interested in the promised items inside the vault.

"Hmm, so on the other side should the treasures be, right?" Danzel asked as he stared in front of him.

The vault in question was a huge gold circular half where that had a high of over 20 meters.

The vault had three main blue mana crystals with many smaller ones supporting the enchantments that were in it. The golden-like metal used for it made the vault look extremely extraordinary.

Though it was a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, Danzel asked the important question.

"Can you open it?"

Upon hearing that, Nersan'rah scoffed and made his way towards the vault.

"I can already imagine what you are thinking, but don´t worry-"

Raising the staff spear up high, the mana crystal glowed and spread his mana around the gathered sand that was nearby.

Like a building-up storm of sand above him, Nersan´rah guided the storm towards the vault.

"I will keep my word..."

The sand traveled through the air and slammed directly to the vault.

At least that's how it seemed at first.

Upon taking a closer look, the sand was slowly going inside some tiny holes that could be easily overseen by one's plain sight.

When every piece of sand has gone inside the vault, a glow showed inside the three main mana crystals.

Twisting his staff spear, Nersan´rah started to control the sand inside the vault with his mana in a particular way that make the glow of the mana crystal soon turn in the shape of some writings.

Danzel who saw those writings would have frowned if he had a face.

`Those letters...they look similar to runes, but not quite right.´

As Danzel had quite some experience in handling runes, he could recognize a rune when he saw one. And what he was seeing right of now was definitely not a rune.

"Done"

Saying that the rune-like letters glowed the brightest, making it activate all the smaller crystals.

A massive ray of light came out of the vault itself by the mere activation of the vault enchantment, indicating that the vault was opening.

*Grrrhh~

Taking a big breath, Nersan´rah raised his shoulders and his chest up as he were an emperor who came back to his palace.

"Follow me." Nersan´rah said towards Danzel.

"..."

*Tap~Tap~Tap~

With only Nersan´rah staff spear hitting the ground and Danzel's steps to be echoing around, the two stepped inside the treasury.

"Wasn´t you father that this build this place?" Danzel asked as he watched his surroundings in amazement.

"Yeah, why you asking?" Nersan´rah said.

`It´s the same..." Danzel thought to himself as he stared at the treasury that held a sky clear resemblances with the towers library floor, but much grander than the one that he saw before.

Not only were there many books to see but on top of the bookshelves were laying different kinds of items, being resources such as mana crystals of higher quality or artifacts.

They were there.

The top part was where the magical items lay waiting such as necklaces, rings, swords, and armors while the top was filled with books that were protected with what he saw as a barrier.

Seeing all that, Danzel couldn´t help but say...

"Didn´t he go overboard with all this?"

Though he had no idea how barriers and other kinds of enchantments were being made, he knew something.

And that was that enchantments were expensive to make.

Be it the mana crystal themselves or the natural resources that were needed for the enchantment.

It was naturally expensive.

As of how he knows that?

Well, that was the excuse that Hanson used to him, wherever he asked for a high-quality enchantment sword or armor.

His current armor did have an enchantment that made it tougher and more durable, but the enchantment was from a lower grade.

Although he found it really cheap for Hanson to give him the bare minimum of armor with enchantments back then, now he was sure glad that he had at least one.

Without the enchantments and the runes on them, it would have long ago been broken from all the shi*t he had to go through.

Nersan´rah hearing that simple shrugged his shoulders and pointed in a certain direction.

"Though this place was called a treasury, the true identity of this place is that it was the workplace of my father. That similar vault over there leads to my father's laboratory while we're we are is simple his storage area."

Touching the other closed vault door with his hand Nersan'rah said with a bitter voice.

"And a magic casters storage of the level oft father is comparable to that of hundreds of treasures."

Hearing the flesh golems there made much more sense than before.

The flesh golems weren't there to pose a challenge on the said intruder. As he and Nersan'rah alone managed to clear every single of them by using their range.

But they were there to help the master of this treasury fight off other magic casters!

The more he thought of it, it more it made sense.

Since a warrior focusing more on physical strength than of magical knowledge wouldn't be a threat to the treasury because he wouldn't able to break through the vault in the first place.

Only a magic caster could open the vault, and that's only if they knew how exactly.

Seeing the magic caster's we're the only treat, a bunch of flesh golems disturbing and having a shield against magic was the killer combination for magic casters.

And that's alone with the flesh golems.

If the master of this place were to join in the fight without having to deal with the flesh golems, the one with an advantage was clear to see.

"Now as promised, I will allow you to take some of the artifacts from these places..." Nersan'rah said as he guided the sands towards the area where the swords lay."

As if they were working like some second limps of Nersan'rah, the sand picked up a longsword of the pile of weapons together with an armor set.

"...here" Taking a last look at them, Nersan'rah places those in front of Danzel.

"Don't mind me..." Danzel said as he touched every piece of equipment and revealed their status descriptions of every single one.

[Long Sword of the Sand Emperors Blade]: A blade crafted by the Emperor of the sands as a gift towards one of his beloved sons' Kenuza'rah. The enchantments make the mana to be spread much faster and with less effort, even I promise the effectiveness of the mana itself, making it enchant everyone attack using mana. Additionally, I ones will, they are capable to control the sands around him by their sheer willpower. Sadly the blade would never lay in the hands that they were intended to go.

[Armor of the Sand Emperors Blade]: A armor crafted by the Emperor of the sands as a gift of his beloved son. Is capable to create sand and turn them into the metal to plate one's armor. Additionally, both toughness and durability have been vastly increased. Sadly the armor will never be able to be won't and protect the one that was intended to.

Starting at them in silence and amazement, Nersan'rah had a smirk on his face.

"Now as I kept my part of our deal, how about we talk about business. Rue Danzel."
