Walker reached out his hand and attempted to let mana flow in to the bone wall. The wall then shone with a myriad of complicated patterns. Walkers hunch had paid off. Seeing that there was a rectangular spot were the patterns were not complete in between the skulls of the wall he knew exactly what belonged there.

"Ya know Gil if you're going to find a puzzle you should probably find one without a key." Walker smirked pulling out the e ancient talisman and placing it between the skulls.

The skulls eyes glowed for a moment and all the bones fell to the ground in to dust immediately. The wall was gone letting way to an open hallway. However there was a drastic difference in quality of the walls and walkways itself. The walls symbols weren't faded at all last where the bone wall had been. The stone floor was clean and free of dust. This put everyone on edge fearing they had entered somewhere they shouldn't be.

As they walked it was noticeably brighter allowing walker to hold the abyssal serpent egg to gain a bit more light. There were no echoes or bones or scratching up ahead and he was put at ease. Any hints of traps were not there in this hallway. They noticed that the path was slowly becoming stairs until they were completely walking upwards on a large spiral stair case. They had to stop many times to rest as the more seemed to be unending stairs.

Soon they could hear a tap tap tap repeating over and over. It's was often a habit impatient people picked up as they waited for something. This cause Su to tense up as she lead the way. The others prepared themselves for what may lie ahead.

They reached the cusp of the stairs, a strange glow was coming from the room up top. The party shared looks preparing themselves for see what awaited them. Would they be able to survive? Was this an exit? Will there be another trap? What if it's a dead end? This questions and more rang in their heads.

They mustered their courage all stepped out from the stair way. They were caught in awe immediately.

The stone walls were engraved with gold. Depictions of creatures growing from infancy to adulthood to death were depicted everywhere. The gold glow from many crystals made the room feel as if it was full of power. There were racks of armors and weapons. Chests of perfectly polished ancient and recent gold coins. Jewels glimmered from jewelry. Elegant tapestries showed brilliant colors and scenes of those praying. Towards the back of the room the tap tap tap sound stopped.

An old voice seemingly filled with power and dread echoed, "two hundred thirty three years four month and seven days since I received a visitor. Yet not one but five have come to pay respects." A skin crawling laughter reverberated through the room.

This voice was coming from a cloaked figure sitting atop a pearl white throne. The throne itself stood out not because of its color but the fact that it was carved from pure bone. "Now speak your names so I may know who has come asking of me." The voice was demanding and sweat quickly grew on their foreheads. This was not someone they could escape from.

Walker didn't want to cause the death of everyone so stepped up to take the brunt of the attention. "I am walker, this is my party Su, Remey, Gil, and midnight. We are adventurers who came to the ancient ruins for a test and happened to come to the place you see us now." Walker watched the cloaked person closely.

At first the party had thought this person to be living however they saw a black skeletal hand from the sleeve of the cloak. Walker quickly used his skill to check and see any possibility of escape. This could all be an illusion to escape right?

' ancient liche king

The skills of this monster are not comparable to an undead liche. This is an almost immortal undead creature. One body does not limit it along with other abilities to create and guide huge numbers of undead. Often created through many years of self experimentation or unholy Magics.'

Walker gulped back more fear seeing this. "Ah so you young one are their leader. And you have such a useful ability to see what I currently am." More laugher filled the room. The hood fell from the monsters head revealing a black skull with many black lines and symbols etched in to it. The eye sockets were filled with a white flame.

"In life they called my the king of the undying faith, now I am the immortal king. My god saw my efforts and rewarded me greatly. However as the time has passed it seems those outside here have become weak. Rarely do I see anyone who can make it here let's alone the catacombs themselves. My experiments always prove too powerful." The king shook his head. Disappointment from its voice. "Sooo the question is why are you here, you said a test but those who find me are looking for more. The last to visit was a pathetic demon necromancer. Wanted knowledge to create an undead army, such a small mind."

Walker was unsure how to answer but before he did his system caught his eye.
