As the door opened, everyone in the group prepared to attack. When the golden robed man pushed the door to the end, the first thing he saw was a skeleton of a beast, blue in color, radiating intense water elemental essence. When Grey saw it, his eyes lit up. He knew it was good stuff. The inner part of the castle was dark, but at the door, they could already see the bones of a powerful Magical Beast. Just the bones showed that or was no ordinary beast while it was alive. Grey had the urge to take it, but he didn't make any attempts at taking it, just staring and looking away. The other Water Elementalists in the group didn't have such reservations, some of them were ready to pounce at the bones at any moment. "Calm down, we'll distribute these things when we leave. For now, I'll keep them in this storage ring. I urge everyone to hand over any treasure found inside so we can all get a share of it." The golden robed man said. "What about treasures we personally risk our lives to get?" Someone asked. "Then it's yours. But for treasures like these that are accessible to everyone, we should do well to place them here so we can all benefit. After all, if we were to say the strongest keeps them, only a few people will be able to get anything after risking their lives here." The golden robed man explained. Everyone nodded, seeing reason with what the golden robed man said. As long as it was a treasure everyone can access, then it would be kept and later distributed, but if not, then whoever finds it can keep it. The inner part of the castle soon started to brighten up, it was as if it was sucking light from the outside and lighting up the place. The view of the castle soon came to view and they all got to see the magnificent place. They were looking at a large Hall, large pillars held the ceiling which seemed to stretch into the clouds in place. The pillars had engravings on them and the Magical Beasts drawn on them seemed like they could move. On the other end of the Hall was a large throne that seemed to belong to a giant. The throne was over six meters tall and made with pure gold. The armrest of the throne was made with the bones of a Magical Beast, even after so long, lightning could still be seen around it, dancing ever so gloriously. At the center of the throne, there was a large core that struck fear into the hearts of people staring at it. Grey felt his heart palpitate as he stared at the majestic throne. For the first time, he felt inferior just by staring at a throne. He couldn't help but feel curious about who sat on such a throne. His curiosity made him want to study the throne, but as he sent his spiritual senses close to it, he sensed a danger far greater than whatever the array unleashed and he gave a wry smile. This throne was out of the picture, if they dared to go close, they might die, much less trying to take it, then they would die without a doubt. He turned and saw Void's glistering eyes, he hastily warned him of the danger. 'I know, why do you think it's still there?' Void replied, annoyed. It was clear that he felt pained by the fact he couldn't take the treasure. He too had sensed that getting close to the throne would only cause him more harm than good. The golden robed man looked at the throne but also felt the dangers that came with it and could only give up. In this case, everyone else knew that this throne was out of the question. There were multiple doors that led to different hallways. "What's the plan?" Grey asked, "Move as a group or individuals?" The golden robed man looked at the hallways, there were at least twenty hallways the group numbered around thirty or so. With this many hallways, there were bound to be more rooms and possibly secret places that they could explore. However, if they were to move individually, the danger would be higher, and also the rewards. The people would keep all the treasures they found, and he wouldn't benefit as much as he thought he would. "In groups." He said after some thought. "Of course, some people can move out on their own. But you all should be aware that although you will benefit more, the chances of dying would also increase. I do not know what hides within these walls." "I'll explore alone, with my little sister, of course." Grey didn't waste any time and said his stance. He had always had reservations about doing things like this with people. Now that there was an opportunity for him to separate himself, he didn't think twice and quickly did that. A few people also decided to explore the place alone, while the majority formed groups. There was safety in numbers, after all. Other than his children, the golden robed man didn't take anyone else with him. He was the first to pick a room. Grey didn't waste any time and did the same as well. Of all the people, only one person was unable to join a group. The man Grey accused of controlling the phantom. His expression was sour as he looked around. Although there were a few people who he was previously close with, they gave him space at the moment. They didn't want to take the risk of moving with someone who might want to kill them. If what Grey said was true, then he might kill them if they find any treasures. He clenched his fists, annoyed at what happened. "This stupid brat. Now no one agreed to pair with me. I better go in the same direction as him. I'll kill him if the opportunity presents itself."
