Chapter 37 – Ambush

  After cheg the room that had the sarcophagus in to ehat it wasn't trapped, Arthur made the all clear gesture to allow everyoo the room. The walls were decorated with what looked to be holy scripture praying to the god of death with some of the writing rubbed out over time. The sarcophagus was made out of pin stone, barely decorated except for a marble edging on its lid.

  "Hmm, there doesn't seem to be anything of note, how about we open the sarcophagus to see if there are any remnant artefact's that he was buried with?" Arthur muttered to himself before asking the other schors in the room.

  Getting a positive response he looked towards the knights in askance for their help to remove the lid. Rolling their eyes, the two dies walked up to one end of the sarcophagus and pushed.

  Rumble

  The lid made a scraping and rumbling sound before falling to one side leaving the tents bare for all to see. Inside, Lumina peered and saw that there was a humaal remains covered in a bd purple robe with a broken dagger held in its hands. Cobwebs and dust covered the skeletal remains, but other than this, nothing else was seen.

  Meanwhile, Arthur rubbed his monocle and peered closer at the dagger, furrowing his brows in ption before a radiant smile appeared on his face. "Heh, it looks like a ceremonial dagger that was often used for sacrificial rituals and the meaning of burying a sacrificial dagger with yourself is to say to others that you sacrificed your life for eternal peace within the neancer families."

  Letting out a sigh, one of the other schors theed with his added entary. "Hah, this also means that there wont be any relics other than this dagger which has no other use than being a spoil for a history museum."

  After this clusion was made, everyoarted to head back to the surfad return to Droma. As this was happening, Lumina noticed a rge group of people lying in wait outside the ruins through the use of her e with the spider shadows. From the looks of it there were at least five le sgers seven swordsmen hidden irees and bushes with manic grins on their faces.

  Just when Lumina and the rest were reag the entrance back out of the ruins she ahe spiders. Hm, go and bite the fers hidden irees. After Lumina ordered the spiders into position, she moved towards the front by the schors and knights to 'inform' them of her thoughts.

  "Hey, I feel something is wrong be careful heading outside." The schors including Arthur looked fused before shrugging while the knights looked at each other for a split sed and nodded. Meanwhile, Ternans' eyes dited a bit befoing back to normal. So he knows. Lumina thought grimly.

  As soon as everyoepped outside the ruirance, Lumina ordered the spiders to bite causing shrieks of pain as four of the sgers fell to the ground with a thump, spazzing out on the ground. "Shit, get them!!" A loud voice cursed as he ordered the sgers to e out from hiding to attack meanwhile, an arrow whizzed past Lumina's previous position as she already got her rapier out ready to attack the ining sger.

  The schors, seeing what was happening looked surprised before Arthur trolled his facial expressions into a serious look, faced his hand towards Lumina and the knight escorts and ted out loud "Fortify, Haste." Lumi her body speed up and also felt as if she was wearing another yer of armour. Feeling surprised, she looked towards her immediate oppo and noticed he appeared moving slightly slower and was able to predict his general movements.

  Rip

  Lumina's rapier cut through his neck, spurting blood in the air as he clutched it, his face revealing pain, Don't think about it. Meanwhile, the knights are holding off awo sgers. Out of the er of her eyes, Lumina saw Ternan watg her, aimed with bow waiting to strike. Bastard! Suddenly an arrow whizzed past her head, scraping her hair, turning to look it was the st ranger on their side. Also o deal with that, go!

  her spider summons, they crawled towards Ternan and the ler while giving Lumina ample view of the battlefield. She saw two more of the sger swordsmen sprint towards her baring their arms into an attack as the other two head towards the knights.

  "Urfgh." Hearing the grunt, it seems the st ranger has bee with, while blood from the sed sger she faced oozed out from the ned arms, falling to his knees, crumpling on the forest floor to bleed out.

  "RRAAGHH" In a rage, the final sger in front of Lumina attacked without g for the sequerading wound for wound with her causing wounds on her arms and abdomen to appear more frequently. Suddenly a b sh out, Lumina expeg this shot targeting her, jumped out the way as the arrow bolt thrust itself dead tre in the sgers forehead.

  Lumina turned around to see Ternan, his face pale with shock, open mouthed, suddenly colpse. Hmph! Deserved. Putting on a face ed voice, Lumina shouted out his name as she approached in a rush to 'sell' her ag.
