But is this really the right thing to do?

The sigh was mixed with a purple haze as he felt conflicted by the guild’s decision.

Theoretically, he should not be smoking right now or else they might be discovered. The tobacco flame and smoke was easy to spot and would leave a stench behind. As for health issues…this was not the problem, he was a superhuman, such thing was already ages old.

Even so, Dakni continued to smoke. This was his way of calming himself and relieving him of stress. Besides, with his [ Trojan Horse ] nothing could break his disguise.

The flame burned silently, and he inhaled some smoke before exhaling it out again.

“…Gilaga. I’m still doubtful about this time’s mission... What if the Bianchi Family noticed our actions, we would be killed, you know?”

Through the darkness, he glanced behind him.

The shadow standing behind him and was following him responded,

“Can you please not be so pessimistic? With your Trojan Horse, how could? Besides, if we find good loot this time, our guild might even defeat Athenian, you know… we will be rich!”

That person answered excitedly.

Like Dakni, he too was dressed in a black leather suit to blend with the darkness, his pale face the only thing showing.

He was a young, lanky man.

“I don’t know about that,”

… …

… …

At nightfall, darkness covered their field of view.

Who knows how long it has been since they entered the ruins.

It was quite confusing with many winding paths and if not for the abandoned and broken buildings that seem to have been built during the medieval period, they would have been noticed by monsters passing by them long ago.

Dakni’s skill was not unlimited, it was bound to run out of juice, and fortunately they have somewhere they could hide and rest.

They forbid fighting as much as possible.

Along the way, they have seen several powerful monsters; A huge sleeping cockatrice and probably almost 20 meter long Medusa with a lower half that of a green colored rattled snake, making sounds from time to time.

Then finally, they reached a stair leading downward.

The width of the descending stairs increased as they went down, and the decorative objects on the surrounding pillars and statues became even gorgeous at the same time.

Plated with Gold and Silver, the entire place radiated a very beautiful scene – a wealthy feeling.

Seeing this, the group’s anxiety and fear vanished as excitement and greed colored their entire faces.

With just one look at this and anyone would have a thought that the end of this stair would lead to an enormous treasure room – that’s the feeling they all get.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

Then, finally, after a few minutes of descending, they found a gate.

Standing at the end of the path were two wolves carved into the massive ice gate. Even though they made sure that there were no gimmicks in the surroundings, the group still knew how to be calm in this situation and approached the gate cautiously.

In MMORPG or novels, treasure room meant Boss Room!!

This was the common sense...

“What should we do?” One of the females in the group asked. Worried and anxiety washed over her.

“We are already here; at least we took a peek of the inside!” The man standing beside Dakni seemed to be the leader and answered.

“But what if there’s a very powerful monster inside? It would certainly be stronger than that Medusa!”

“If things got out of hand, we’ll escape, however, we can’t leave empty handed! At least, I can feel some good things behind this gate! Grab them and run away, as fast as the wind!” Then he turned to the other, “Remember, we will wait for no one. Those who are slow will already be a dead man!”

Steeling their resolve, the group pushed the ice gate. It seems heavy but unexpectedly, with just a light push, the entire gate started opening to both sides. Then they were assailed by a cold air, along with a difficult to explain pressure, came from within.

The group felt a chill as they clenched their weapons. Some have the thoughts of running away while the other endure the heavy feeling, however, all these thoughts vanished the moment they saw the inside of the room.

The interior was an extraordinarily huge space in both horizontal and vertical directions.

The wall and floor were encased in ice. And crimson fire swayed eerily on the ice candles. High up on the ceiling were chandeliers of the same color, lined up. But what grabbed the group’s attention, causing their emotions and thoughts to vanish was the dazzling reflection from the left and right wall lined along the interior.

Gold. Gold coins and ornaments, swords, armors, shields, sculptures and furniture, all kinds of golden objects were piled up to a scale where it was impossible to count. As the insides of the room sank into darkness, the full extent of the treasure was entirely unfathomable.

The groups' expression’s stilled and after a short moment, their faces covered by extreme happiness!

They’re rich!! That was the only thing that appeared inside their minds as they stared at the mountain of gold.

Such wealth, even if they spend lavishly in their life, they wouldn’t be able to spend all of it in just a hundred years! Such was the amount of money inside the room.

“Check the surroundings!”

“Yes!” The group was released from their fantasies by the leader’s voice.

“Weird,” Said the leader, “There’s nothing…” He frowned.

The others including Dakni did the same. With all these treasure, there should be a Boss Monster guarding it, or that should be what’s written in the script. But why is there no monster here? Even the smallest monster cannot be found?

“Possibly, the Medusa was already the strongest monster?”

“That’s,” The leader wanted to refute but he can’t think of any other reason…

“In any case, we are rich! We’re extremely rich!!” Though, taking it all was the problem here! How the heck would they do that?

The man’s excited voice overwhelmed the entire group and their worries gradually faded as they looked around the gold in the entire room. Such things were extremely dazzling, making the other blind in greed!

“Take what you can and let’s get out of here immediately!”

“But we can only take a tiny portion in that sense –” One of the females of the group pouted. Leaving these treasures is really like leaving your own life…

“We’ll think about it when we came back, in any case, we can just go back again!”

“Yes, sir!” And so the group started grabbing thing they could carry. Though most were trying to pick the best ones among the group.

Several people mounted the treasure, seeking the valuable ones. Suddenly, two people, Dakni and the leader went even deeper into the room.

There they found something much unexpected.

A huge gem, around 10 to 12 meters in height.

It was emitting a chill, probably it was not a gem but something made of ice, blue colored ice.

When they approached the gem, they suddenly found that within the ice was a silhouette of a human.

A human female wearing impressive looking armor.

Golden hair that seemed like strips of molten gold and ethereal beauty.

What’s more eye-catching was the appearance of the woman.

She has a beauty that gives off a translucent feeling.

She looks fragile, but for some reason looks full of vitality.

The pale-colored blue ice wrapped around her snow white skin further refines her supernatural beauty.

If we were to discuss her figure; a beautiful golden silver armor tightly wrapped around her body, with only her cleavage prominently displayed.

Her most captivating parts are her ruby red lips. Even though she was encased by an ice cold ice, their color never faded.

Dripping with erotic energy, be it a man or a woman, no one would be able to resist being entranced by them.
