"None of that makes me feel better…

" Su were ready to turn around, however, she knew that they had to go deeper. What she feared most was that there would be some forms of traps to stop them from entering.

"The seal was already broken. Greed is free. I know there will still be danger. We can't expect everything to be safe. But we have to go and see if we can find the tablet. If the core of the mage tower is still here and the runes are working then I doubt that Greed took anything. I would guess that someone or something came and took Greed away from here so he could return to the demon lands.

" The demon lord that had been mentioned by the other rulers of kingdoms was most likely the one to free such a dangerous individual.

"That would mean they were enable to resist Greeds' curse. That will make them difficult. Especially since they have evil intentions.

" After this and a deep breath, Su started to move down the makeshift stairs. She realized that a stone had been placed over it which now lay on a mess on the floor.

Unlike the rune covered stone floor above, the floor here was covered in planks of rotten wood. It was just enough to make the floor even to walk on. Yet now it had rotted and absorbed moisture causing it to feel slightly slippery and soft.

The torches slowly illuminated things that none of them expected to see. There were caskets built in to the walls in a perfectly circular room. The walls were made with the same rotting wood and rusting metal. Everything was directed at the center which was dug even deeper. But what really caught them were the broken and dry bodies that were around the floor.

"Stay still and let me appraise those.

" Walker didn't trust that these bodies were something that would not attack them. He had a gut feeling that these were left here as some form of trap. Even though they were still now, they definitely had not been on the ground when they were brought here.

'Husk (perished)

This is the completely dead remains of a husk. The skin of a husk is all that it is. The inside of its body is made of unique runes and a willingly sacrifice soul from a high sand mage. The high sand mage will only use this mastery skill to guard something of the highest importance. To become a husk is to give up all emotion and chance of becoming stronger. On the other hand, a husk can gain a better usage of magic and absorption of mana. As long as the husk has mana and an intact body it can survive forever. When destroyed the soul is freed and moves on to the natural flow of the world. The previous muscle and bones of the newly born husk become a zombie that often follows every order the husk demands of it without any ability to think.

Husks' servant (perished)

This zombie is unique compared to others. It does not mindlessly attack to destroy the living. It can only follow the orders of the husk that it was birthed from. Unlike other undead, it has the ability to regenerate its muscle tissue to remain at its best fighting state. Many husk servants can fight well beyond their limits due to their lack if senses.

Husk dwelling (broken)

This is the source of mana for most husks. Before they are created, the high sand mage or other applicable system user will create a coffin. This husk dwelling will be able to gather mana at a faster rate so that the husk can fight to a higher ability than normal. Defeating a husk with a nearby dwelling is much harder.'

Walker read these and checked every single one of them to make sure they were defeated. The room seemed like it had been made later than the hole dug in the ground. There were two larger coffin shapes dug in to the ground and solidified with what seemed to be glass.

"I think fire was used to do this somehow…

" There was nothing that Walker understood about this. The glass was broken on one end and the small fragment that came off of the secondary coffin shape was cracked.

While the three investigated they realized that a skeletal body was trapped in the other. Since Walker was worried it was another husk or similar being he used his appraisal.

'Entombed sealer (sealed soul)

This is a sealer that sealed and burned his life force. There is nothing left that could save this being and releasing their soul from sealing would cause it to finally dissipate. This only came to be after this sealer used a skill many levels above their mastery. If the sealer had reached a proper mastery of their sealing magic they would have saved themselves with the only repercussion being the sealing of their magic forever.'

This is the sealing sage. Their soul will dissipate if we break that glass around them. But I think that is the tablet.

" The silence in the room brought forth the moral dilemma of allowing the soul to dissipate.

"I will do it. He is an elf, the same home as mine. Even if we lose our soul, our life, our being, we can still return to the world in some form.

" Alma and every forest elf believed this. She had the utmost respect for who this man was. Thus, she did not hesitate as she reached down and grabbed the metal tablet. The glass fell away and the bones of the sealing sage turned to dust.

"Take this please.

" Alma handed the metal tablet to Walker who stored it away. Now was not the time to look in to it. They needed to take a moment of silence to respect the fallen who had lost everything defending this sealed ground.
