Chapter 4

Raven knowing the timer was going on the stat increase he rushed at Rivet drawing his sword. Rivet was confused by the sudden speed of Raven, and how suddenly all those injuries he had vanished! Rivet gritted his teeth as more tiles from the floor lifted up and were sent flying at Raven. Raven swung his sword cutting some of the tiles in half letting them shatter into shards as they hit the ground. Raven dodged the rest ducking under them or weaving around them like paper would in the wind. Rivet tried to hold his ground flinging more and more tiles but none would hit Raven. This would lead to Raven to end up right next to Rivet. Rivet gasped at the speed Raven made it to him. Raven then looked up at him, smirking as he sent his sword across the man's chest causing a giant gash across his chest. Rivet fell backwards onto the floor slowly trying to crawl himself away from Raven. Raven then sighed heavily moving closer to the butler crawling away. Raven kicked the butler over so he couldn't crawl anymore. Then he put an end to it…piercing the butler through his chest a last gasp of air escaping the butler before he passed away.

A window appeared over his corpse.

Raven smiled at it, “perfect..” He could now use his sword way better than before! Raven crouched down, turning over the corpse he started to dig through the butler's pockets. He was disgusted at the blood all over..but he had to get it done. Next time he’ll find a cleaner way to kill his enemy.. After digging for a bit he found exactly what he was looking for! Another Illusionist stone! He quickly took it and shattered it in his hands. The stone cracking and breaking turned to dust between his fingers. Standing up he sighed a bit suddenly the room shifted once again the music stopped going dead quiet besides the sounds of the room creaking. The tables ended up back in place..the decorations that once stood proudly on display now look miserable and sad covered in cobwebs and dust..The food that was spilled all over the tables was moldy and flies buzzing around them laying eggs and maggots crawled in and out of it happily. Raven wanted to throw up..if he had eaten that…he would have ended up eating that… He shook his head looking away back at the corpse. Thankfully the corpse didn't change at all.. He took a sigh of relief looking around the Ballroom a bit more. Eventually finding a door which was strange he didn't encounter any other doors..almost as if something or someone is leading him down a certain path..

Raven entered through the door he entered what seemed to be a normal hallway..it was bright and everything was decorated and cleaned which probably meant…it was all an illusion..as he walked down the hallway he looked at the many suits of armor that decorate the halls. Some of the suits of armor wielded spears, axes, swords, and even flails. Raven examined a suit holding a sword. Getting close he tilted his head reaching out for the sword. As he did he heard a clank of metal come from somewhere behind him. Turning around he barely managed to dodge a swing spear ducking under it rolling. Finishing his roll he quickly recovered standing up and unsheathing his sword he held it out towards the suit of armor. The armor was perfectly animated exactly like a knight..but it wasn't a person inside the armor! He could clearly see where it came off its stand… Once again he heard a clank of metal turning around and he almost failed to block a swing from a sword. It was another suit of armor! He groaned a bit at the impact as he wasn't ready for it. These things didn't seem strong but if too many start popping up it could get bad. As he was thinking a new yellow window popped up. He moved back away from both statues reading it quickly

The God: Hermes

Don’t Fight Back! Evade the armor's attacks for as long as possible!

Raven read the gods name..Hermes..that was the god of speed wasn't it? He nodded at the request. It was definitely possible! He could survive..he just didn’t know for how long..it all depended on how many suits would come alive to try to fight him! He watched as the two suits from earlier started to rush at him! It was now or never! It was to survive now or struggle to survive later!
