Darius looks around as he continues to follow the trail left by the undead horde. He shakes his head a little as he checks his status screen again.

Darius shakes his head as he laughs again, causing the Adventurers to look towards him worriedly. Folred looks towards him as he says "Is it that good?" Darius nods as he says "You have no idea, let's just say my strength just increased by a lot." The adventurers all pale when they hear that as they look at him.
Everyone quiets down as the trail leads into the forest. The group quickly and quietly follows the trail, keeping on guard. They don't see any more undead as they follow the trail, at the end of the trail they find that it leads into a cave. Darius sighs as he sees the cave "Right, it looks like the undead came from in here, so before we go in let's make sure to be careful about what we are going to do. It's likely going to be cramped, and they will probably be able to attack us from behind."
The adventurers nod as they look at Darius, who then turns around and starts to walk into the cave. Darius overcharges his light spell, before casting it, finding it becomes multiple lights that spread around him and cast a bright light around. The adventurers look at the lights surprised while following Darius. He keeps an eye out as he walks deeper into the cave.
As they continue to walk they suddenly hear the grinding of stone behind them and to their sides. Darius frowns and draws his sword, looking as the walls open up and undead start to shamble out. Darius quickly casts Ice Shard multiple times in a row before he blasts them out at the undead. Multiple undead fall, having holes blasted through them while Darius nods, having cleared the undead from the sides, leaving only the undead behind them for the adventurers to deal with.
The adventurers quickly mop up the rest of the undead, and Darius nods, turning and leading the way through the cave again, continuing to watch for anything out of the ordinary. They continue for a while, not seeing any more traps, and they eventually reach an open area. Darius frowns as he sees a worked wall as if someone had built a wall to block off the area.
Darius shakes his head as he walks up to the wall. "Well, this is certainly strange, but it's not something that can block me." He then puts a hand on the wall and casts Shape Stone, causing a large amount of the stone to flow away from his hand and forms a doorway. The adventurers look at the wall surprised and Avon says "Okay, seriously, what can't you do?" Darius shrugs as he says "Well, I can't teleport people yet, or bring people back from the dead."
Avon shakes his head a little and Darius shrugs again before Darius leads the way through the wall, pausing as he sees what looks like a lounge. Darius looks around confused before the wall closes up behind him, he looks back at it surprised, before he looks around more saying "Who is here? Show yourself." "Oh come now, you are so very interesting." A voice says, seeming to come from the middle of the room, where there is a chair with a table next to it that has a book on it.
"And what is that supposed to mean?" Darius asks frowning "I'm sure you can understand, you are such a low level, but you were able to wipe out my undead, and open the wall I placed, that's very rare." The voice says sounding very interested in Darius. "How about you show yourself?" Darius says as he slowly walks towards the center of the room. "Oh but I already have, you just don't realize it yet." the voice says before the book opens. "I am the book of the damned."
