Just as the blue skeleton was about to make a move, a violent shout interrupted him,
"Stop, Roald!
You are no match for him. Your recklessness is going to cost you your life."
A one-eyed Defiant Master appeared beside Roald, the blue skeleton.
"Why have you come here, Nevius?" Roald asked in surprise. He had thought his friend was supposed to be in hiding, in that mysterious place underground. Why would he dare come out now?
Darren looked Nevius up and down, studying this stranger.
He was around ten feet tall, his body dark green, his head triangular and his arms like swords.

"There is nothing I need," Darren replied, shaking his head in disapproval. Nothing was a treasure to him unless it was comparable to the divine weapons he owned and the Belief Power of Death.
"Are you sure?" Nevius waved his hand and a suit of armor appeared in front of him.
"This dark iron armor comes from the deep space of the universe. Its grade is only slightly inferior to your divine blade and sword. Are you sure you don't want it?" Nevius asked.
"You must not know how powerful my blade and sword are. That's the only reason you'd make such a comparison," Darren said disdainfully.
"Do you honestly think I can't see through a pair of primitive divine weapons?" Nevius retorted flatly. He knew a lot more than he was letting on.
