Chapter 110 - Who Are You

Seeing that Austin also suggested the idea of him going to face the possessed, Sam only let out a sigh as he began to approach the possessed.

"I don't see any reason why you should be complaining about facing it when it is not even strong enough for you to break a sweat" said Jason when seeing the way Sam is acting. 

"Since it is that easy for you to take on, then why do you need to skip the fight" asked Sam with a frown. 

"That is because I need to prepare myself for the worst and this is not even considered one so I will have to leave it for you to handle. Now move on before the possessed come at you" replied Jason as he began to wave Sam away.

Walking out before he loses his temper to Jason's mouth, he begins to have a showdown with the possessed, leaving Jason and Austin to their meditation.

"Hey we need to be very careful with him in case there is a disagreement between the families later on" said Austin.

"We don't need to worry about him since he needs his target to be really weak before it could be effective" reply Jason with a smile on his face.

"But with all that has happened so far it won't be difficult for his attack to work since everyone would be mentally exhausted granting him the upper hand" said Austin as he corrected Jason's statement.

"So should we kill him now that we are still pretending to be friends" asked Jason.

"Are you nut, of course we are not doing that. I am just saying just in case we had a disagreement and it led into a fight, try and avoid the slim that infused itself with the possessed to avoid getting turned into a stone" replied Austin.

"I don't see any reason for me to be frightened of the slim when I can just send it back to him with a kick" said Jason.

"Which is exactly why I said you should avoid it because it begins to work the moment it comes into direct contact with anything" replied Austin.

Jason could only nod his head as he now understands what Austin is trying to tell him since he always acts on impulse. It didn't take Sam much time to kill the possessed before going back to check on them.

"I have already taken care of the possessed so we should proceed with our search for Diana" said Sam.

"It is amazing that the possessed was able to get you worked up like this" joked Jason as he stood before leading the way once more until they finally got to a place where some destroyed skeletons are been scattered all over the place.

"Looks like someone must have triggered a trap here and fought with all these skeleton" said Sam as he looked around the place.

"Who else could it be other than the one person we are searching for" replied Jason as he continues to lead the way.

"How can you be so sure that it was her that did all this" asked Sam who still doubt the fact that Jason can track Diana.

"Who else would be so frightened out of his mind to destroy all this skeleton after triggering the trap if not a lady" reply Jason.

"And you think that Diana would be scared of something like this, then I guess you know nothing about her" said Sam with a chuckle.

"She may be stronger than you which I know full well but her girl nature will always kick in man" replied Jason.

Sam could only bite his lip as he force himself not to reply to Jason's comment about Diana being stronger than him which would lead to more insult if he were to bring up the matter.

"Are we getting closer to her yet" asked Austin who has been quiet all this while.

"Not yet but her smell is getting stronger which could only mean that we are not that far from where she is right now" replied Jason.

After hearing what he needed to hear, Austin went back to being silent as they continue to track Diana until they get to a new path which couldn't stop their eyes from opening widely in shock for before them lays weapons, ancient scrolls, and armor of all kinds and if one were to search, they might even find pills among all these treasures.

"This place looks more like a treasure vault" commented Austin being the first to speak out.

"Yeah, just the stuff that I have been looking for ever since I came into this ruin" replied Jason who couldn't stop himself from drooling. 

"Others came to look for more important stuff and this is what caught your eyes" said Sam in disdain as he looked at Jason.

"You are a fool for thinking that they don't mean anything. Let's me tell you something you don't know since you don't have to work your ass to feed your stomach. One item from this vault would be sold for a good price and just imagine that I was able to get as much as hundreds of them, then I won't have to worry about money for the rest of my life" replied Jason as he begin to lecture Sam.

"If money is what you desire most, then you shouldn't have come here" said Sam with a frown.

"Whatever you say man for I can go wherever I want to in search of wealth" reply Jason.

"I don't see anyone stopping you from taking them so what are you still doing here" said Sam.

"Do you think that you can actually stop him if he wants to take anything from here" asked Austin with an awkward smile on his face.

"You know me too well my friend. Well since I am not in a hurry to look for Diana at the moment, I think I have to go pick some stuff" replied Jason with that you know look on his face as he dash out.

"Did I hear him say he is not in a hurry to look for Diana" asked Sam.

"Don't take it to heart man, it is just his greedy nature kicking in" replied Austin with a chuckle as he also went out to look for something nice to pick.

Jason was just about to pick up an old scroll that was placed on top of a shield when he heard a feminine voice not too far from where he was.

"Don't touch anything if you don't want to lose your life". 

Jason stopped his advancement as he turned to look at who it was only to see a lady who seem to be crazy walking toward where they are.

The three were on their guard against this strange lady that had just come out of nowhere. 

"Who are you and what are you doing in a place like this" asked Austin as he placed his hand on the sword handle ready to attack the moment the lady make her move.

"Come on guys stop acting like you don't know who I am" replied the lady with a friendly smile on her face as she continue to approach them.

"Your voice sounds familiar but your face does not look like someone I know" said Jason.

"Stop it guys it is I Diana of the Platton family" replied Diana almost in tears when seeing that they did not recognize her.

"What is that actually you Diana" asked Sam who quickly put down his sword.

"Yes it is I in the flesh" replied Diana.

"I could hardly believe it's you, what happened to your look" asked Sam confused.

"Well it was all caused by this treasure vault, I only wanted to take some treasures when i came here with a friend but to our surprise, it was actually containing a trap that will activate the moment you pick the treasure you want and that is exactly what happened to my friend and I as she was set ablaze and died but thankfully the trap I activated was not the type that would take my life instantly, so I was able to stop it before I get killed by the venom of snakes that were hidden beneath the treasure.

"Good thing you were able to hold on to life even when you were bitten by it is still a shame that a pretty has just been destroyed" said Jason with a sigh as he can't even look at Diana in the face. 

"I am not too worried about my look since I will be able to get rid of it once I return home" replied Diana with a giggle.

"So we would have been in trouble if we were to pick any treasure" said Austin as he turned to look at the horde of treasure.

"Definitely if I am not mistaken since I couldn't take the risk of picking another one since I don't want to lose my life so I am not certain that they all carried traps" replied Diana.
