The group followed the Barbegazi into a door that would be accurate to describe as a door made for the the Barbegazi race. Barba opened the door and it is revealed to be a slide made of stone. He then gestured for someone to go in first.
"The slide must be really old now and no longer slippery so please be careful." Barba stated which made everyone pat their butts.
They imagined their butts becoming grazed or injured if they actually took a slide down. Barba as if reading the mind of the group cast ice magic on the slide to lessen the friction but now they are worried of a frozen butt. Nevertheless, all of them must attempt to slide as it is the only way to the vault.
The first one to not volunteer is Creepysoo but he ended up being first due to losing to a round of rock-paper-scissors. The others anticipated on what will happen to Creepysoo that included Barba as even the guide is not sure of its safety. Creepysoo walked towards the door and sat down at the top of the slide.
"It is not that bad. I do not even feel cold." Creepysoo commented.
"You are like an undead. You actually do not feel anything unless someone strikes you with holy attribute magic." Levin Cloud rebutted.
"Oh! You are right. Well then, here I goo!" Creepysoo said as his voice becoming more distant as he went farther below.
The others could hear his voice for a full ten seconds before he crashed into something. Creepysoo stated that he had a rough landing because he sped up too much. The others could only laugh at the young boy's playfulness before they followed.
Along the way down, they could only see specks of light that is produced by a luminous moss that shined blue. The moss is not covering the areas on the way down so it is still difficult to see where you are actually heading. They could not even judge the distance that they slid down upon because of how scarce the light is.
They also crashed on their behinds at the end because of how dark it was except for Adrian because he can see well in the dark. The darkness is not a problem for Creepysoo and Adrian due to their unique physiology. Soleil made a fireball so that the room will be lit up and they arrived in a large hall with a door that had numerous snowflakes as its design.
They searched around the room and saw another door but it was buried in rock and snow. This is the original entrance of vault but it is no longer usable due to the piled up snow and rocks. The secret entrance that they used is in fact a hidden escape route as the vault is the most secure place.
"Please take out the key and find the indentation on the door. Place the key there. Stand back as when the door open, rubbles might fall from the ceiling." Barba stated.
Adrian took out the key and headed towards the door. He found the indentation identical to the snowflake insignia key and placed it there. He then stood back after placing the key as he heard a small rumble.
The whole place is suddenly flooded in a blue and white light. The source of the light is actually the key that Adrian inserted. The key is pouring some kind of energy into the door and it is even affecting walls. The energy is clear and calming plus it illuminated the whole room.
The others who had no vision in darkness could finally see the whole room and be mystified by its beauty. The snowflakes on the door suddenly started shining also and started becoming mist. The mist permeated their body and it healed them all completely even Creepysoo was healed.
[You have been affected by the Mist of Rejuvination.]
[All health and mana has been completely restored.]
[Any temporary status conditions will be cleansed.]
[Stamina has been restored.]
The mist that affected them restored everything that ailed them. The mist did not differentiate as it just healed everyone present in the room. After all the snowflakes attached to the door disappeared, the door opened with a clank and the group saw what was inside. All of them went inside before the dorr itself fully opened as they were excited on what is inside.
"I think I get why the Ice King has given us the key to the vault. The items in this place has already passed their due dates." Peridot grumbled.
"It is only the potions that are out of date but we should take them. We can still find out what ingredients are used in the potions despite being spoiled. It would just take time to test stuff out though so if you know a godlike alchemist then be my guest." Adrian stated.
No one actually paid attention to the spoiled potions so Adrian is the one who took them. Jianna might be able to reverse engineer the potion. She might even turn back time for the potions so that she could get them fresh. Since no one really wanted the potions except for Adrian, he did not become shy and took all of them.
The others looked at those that are displayed and some caught their attention because of the effects but not the stats. Some consumable trinkets protect you from the effects of temperature for a given hour which are difficult to find. They took one each for the trinket as it equal to their number. Solstice said that she does not want any armor and such because she is loaded.
Peridot did not look at the armors or weapons and told the others that she only wants the precious stone in the vault. There were a lot of precious stone in the vault and the others happily gave her the permission to get all of it. Peridot explained that her floating crystal needs to feed on precious stones to increase in rank so everyone happily gave her everything.
Peridot did not waste time and immediately directed her crystal to consume the stones. Everyone saw what happened and is shocked because a whole pile of precious stones just vanished into thin air. Her floating crystal suddenly started shining and it multiplied into three floating crystals. Each crystal now had different colors which are red, blue and green.
The red crystal had flames swirling upon it. The blue crystal had something like a raging sea swirling inside it. The green crystal had vines wrapping around it which made it look beautiful. Each of her crystal represented an element and due to that she can now cast magic pertaining to those three elements.
Her only restriction is that she cannot use advance magic spells. She is very thankful for the others for giving her all the precious stones that she gave a deep bow. Each person looked for weapons that pertains to their class.
Kabrakan looked for shields that his growth weapon can absorb. His shield can absorb the skills of other shield but he is restricted to currently three. Regardless, everyone agreed to give him all the shields since they do not need it anyway. Levin Cloud looked for any healing skill book that he can find but there was only one.
Soleil also did the same but she did not find any skill book about fire magic except for one which is called Demon Flame. The skill unlike the name has no demonic properties but is actually a type of flame that can absorb heat. She learned it either way as it might come in handy for fighting enemies with the same attribute as her.
Vayu though had lots to choose from as some ice type skill books had wind attribute as a secondary element. The best skill book he found is a passive skill that made any wind attribute skill have ice properties added to them. The skill book's name is Northern Wind.
Creepysoo is looking at everything like a kid on a candy store and just takes what he likes. Some of the things he took does not even do anything but just for decoration. He flexed to everyone that he would put those items inside his room which is located inside a castle. The others just let him do as he please as that is what you sometimes do to a hyperactive child.
Adrian though felt something strange when he entered the room. He felt like someone or something is calling out to him but he does not know where exactly what that is. It is like there is a part of you that is calling him to a certain direction but he cannot pinpoint it clearly.
He even asked the others if they could hear a voice whispering to them and calling them but the others answered no. He felt like he asked a weird question but the voice is still calling him. The voice calling towards him got louder when he arrived where all the weapons are gathered. The others are looking at Adrian because he looks funny.
He had his hands near his ears as if someone is whispering in his ear and he could not hear clearly.
