Aser found an opening and quickly got inside one of the boxes. As he opened the box, he saw a number of basis inside the box. He was awestruck; it was enough for a human to jump to the newborn level. There were more 100 basis points. If this was the treasure of the king then it was going to the treasury. He got inside the box and wished to not get caught by the seahorses.
He could feel the box being lifted up by the seahorse and going in the castle. He was lying down on more than a 100 basis crystals that more than a million dollars at least. He could feel the box moving, his heart was beating and pumping harder. He was layer sitting on a million dollars which was glittering and shinning in the dark. he just hoped there is no checking done inside the castle.
He waited for the box to stop moving to take a glimpse of the castle. He was on guard the whole time, if something happens he would just teleport to the temple dungeon. The box stopped moving and it was kept on the ground. He waited for a minute before lifting the cover and taking a peek of the outside. He saw a mountain of basis and understood he was in the treasure room of the castle. The treasury was a big hall, and it was full of basis. He checked the hall, there was only basis in the room and nothing else.
The hall was covered with white tiles completely. It looked luxurious and expensive. This was one royal castle for sure. He was admiring the build and architecture of the castle. The sea creatures were ruled by a monarch. Any one could see all the resources in the hands of one family or a person.
He thought about teleporting the whole mountain of basis to the temple, so that he could sell it later. He was going to be a trillionaire. He was about to try to teleport, he heard Rose saying something.
"Point the ring towards the mountain of basis" Rose commanded.
Aser thought she was helping him to become rich. He moved his hand and pointed the ring towards the basis. He saw thin vines coming out of the small ring. The vines were getting close to the basis. He understood that the ring was not teleporting the basis. It was up to something else. The vines touched the basis and absorbed it. Aser saw the ring absorbing the basis. He didn't even care, because there was enough for a hundreds and thousands of people to evolve. How much could a ring even absorb..
But his mouth remained wide open when he was seeing the mountain getting depleted in front of his eyes and the vines from the ring were getting thick and strong. They were absorbing more and more basis. He regretted the decision to let the ring absorb some basis.
In a matter of time, the mountain of basis had disappeared and there wasn't a single bit of basis in the treasury room. Aser's dream of becoming a trillionaire had gone too. He was looking at the empty hall which was filled with basis few minutes ago.
Aser being a little depressed, he was about to teleport because there were guards outside the treasury room. He was no way of leaving the room without coming into contact with the seahorse. He was also a thief who stole their basis, he won't even given a chance to live. But he did got his revenge from the sea creature to not let him go back.
"Wait, I will help you to deal with the guards" Rose replied.
Aser was taken back a little. He wondered how it was possible. He walked closer to the door of the treasury. He did what rose told him to do.
[Skill Evolved: Rose ring has evolved to tyrant level]
"A Tyrant level skill!!" Aser exclaimed.
Aser got some thing after coming over here, it was fruitful to him.
A vine appeared from the ring and went to the down bottom of the door. This vine was very different from the last vine he saw. The vine went outside the door from the narrow opening below the door.
In the other side of the door, two sea horse were standing with their golden armor and blue fins on their body. They had spear on their hands. The vine observed them, and then suddenly it diverged into multiple vines and caught them. They were not able to move from their place. It was a matter of time, the vine had completely covered them and only a vine layer cover could be seen. The door opened and Aser saw two big ball like structure covered in vines.
He wondered what Rose was going to do with the body. The vines started going in the ring and took the balls with it. Aser found it very scary. The sea horses were sacred monsters and ring ate it like chickens. He never thought he could come into contact with such a scary weapon. He didn't think if there was such scary weapons existed in the world.

He moved forward, but he was completely clueless about where he should go. The corridor was empty and wide open. He was lost in the castle. There was no way to locate where he was or where he was going. There was nothing in the corridor, he walked continuously there were only turns and different paths. The number of sea horses in the castle was negligible compare to their number outside. He purposely was holding to the roof because most of the sea horses were not in guard inside the castle.
They didn't even bothered to look at the above their head. The corridors were completely looking alike; he could not make a single difference between two paths of the castle.
He was not sure. He seriously wanted to quite the dungeon and teleport back to the temple. He was getting frustrated due to the confusion of choosing new paths.
Aser knew his body was on its last breathes before collapsing. He wanted to just leave and rest. HE was about to quit but Rose stopped him.
"Turn right and then take a left turn, you will reach the personal camber of the second prince. He is a tyrant level creature. He is going to have his lunch soon. You should be able to kill him." Rose violin said.
He was amused a little that she was able to get the path to the royal's chamber. He started crawling on the roof to avoid being detected by the sea horses. He wanted how she was able to do it. The moment, he took a left he saw female sea horses coming from the room. He understood that there was male royal in the chamber who was done enjoying and playing with the female sea horses.
He moved forward and step inside the door as soon as the door opened. He quickly hide in the behind the curtains to avoid being caught. Finally, he saw a lot of golden furniture inside the chamber. When he was in the corridor, he almost believes that the sea horses were minimalistic creatures. But now he felt good so many things in the room, he saw the food was kept was on the table beside the curtains he just needed to drop a blood in the food and the work was done. But there was some problem, the food was vegan food, the only thing which was red was apples.
He wondered why he never saw any protagonist with such problems arising. He looked at the drink and crawled down a little and put a little of his blood in the drink. But instead of his blood mixing up in the drink, it diverged and mixed up in the water. He didn't understood what just happened. He purposely touched his blood on to the drink. The blood just floated on the drink for a second and went up the air.
Rose replied, "Because there was oxygen in your blood, it will float in the air."
"You have no control in your body" Rose shouted him.
Aser didn't understand where he missed. This was completely out of syllabus to him.
He saw the second prince lying down on his bed naked. He was still enjoying the massages of the female horses, he was in his own dream land. The horse looked more like human than the sea horse guards. The face was a mixed of human and horse. He observed the horse prince had proper hands and a thing thorn down there.
The next moment, a knife just passed an inch far away from his eye. He was caught by the second prince. The knife clashed on the wall and fell down; he saw the tyrant beast coming towards him. He quickly activated his lighting sprint and jumped from the wall to the floor. This beast was way aggressive. It landed on the wall, and jumped back with the sword to kill him.
It was fast; vines appeared out of the ring. Aser was a calmed down, he was not in a situation to fight a tyrant monster with the fatigued body he had. The vines quickly formed a shield and defended the sword. The shield grows bigger and vines took support from the floor. The vines pushed the sea prince backwards.
Aser stood up, he needed to run. There was no need to fight the monster. He needed to run. This time he didn't thought of teleporting rather he planned to run away from the castle and get to the stone bridge on the ocean
The sea monster was about to attack but it lost his balance due to some reason. He was having a hard time to get up. Aser was looking at the sea monster. He knew he didn't attack the sea monster but still he had lost his balance somehow. Something clicked inside him; he recalled his blood mixing with the water. He never thought his blood would be so powerful.
He ran away from the chamber of the prince, He getting commands from rose and following her instructions. He was soon near the main gate of the castle but the problem was that he could not exit it. He would be easily get caught by the sea horses.
"I can help you with that" Rose violin replied.
Soon, the vines started covering his body. He didn't understand what was going on. He took a shape of a black seahorse twice the size of the sea horses present over there. He was also wearing a helmet and a armor. He wondered from where she got such things.
Asur understood the two sea horses were actually providing her with the information and she was telling him. That was reason she knew the location of the prince's chamber and also the exit of the castle.
He looked like a black sea horse and even his voice had changed to some other accent and language. He quickly appeared in front of the sea horses. At first they were on guard, but Aser shouted.
"There is a intruder in the castle, go and caught him the second prince has order!!" The black sea horse replied.
The sea horses started running. He walked out like he owned the place. The sea horses would not say that he was just inside a structure made by vines. It was good that his face was not visible due to the helmet he was wearing.
He ran towards the opening stone from where he spotted the castle. The guards were running inside the castle to the check on the second prince. It was the perfect opportunity to run.
Things had just started to mess up now still he needed to touch the stone bridge to escape the area of the sea horses.
He was out of the trench now; he was swimming towards the stone bridge. He had no idea of how much time had passed.
