I drew a deep breath as I walk slowly towards the ruined castle, nakaupo si Lust may saplot na ito at maaliwalas na kahit papaano ang paligid pero sinigurado pa rin namin na may proteksyon pa rin ang aming mga mata. Muntik na akong mapatalon sa gulat nang bigla itong pumalakpak natawa naman siya sa reaksyon ko.

"Bravo! Bravo!" She smirked. "Your team really has this irresistible aura. Lucio gave those armors to all of you?" Namamangha niyang tanong, I just nodded. I keep my head low, I don't want to meet her eye.

"Hmm... since you gathered all of these armors, I'll give you a reward." Agad umangat ang ulo ko pero hindi ko pa rin siya tinitignan sa mata. Bumuntong hininga siya at nilapag ang tasa na hawak niya sa gintong lamesa na nasa tabi niya.

"C'mon, you can take off your blindfold. It's my day, your eyes won't burn when you see me!" Sambit niya, hindi pa rin namin tinanggal ang blindfold.

"You take it of or else snakes will do it for you." sa takot namin sa agad ay agad naming hinubad ang pantakip namin sa mata nakita ko nang mas maayos ang lugar, marami paring insekto ang nakakalat pero hindi na duguan si Lust.

Lust walked slowly, her red revealing clothes compliment her pale skin, she patted the rocks as she smiled at us.

"Come, sit here." Sambit niya at inaya kaming umupo sa mga bato agad kaming sumunod.

"As a reward, I'll explain to each one of you what your armors can do. Let's start with you," lumingon siya sa akin, dahan-dahan kong iniabot ang pana sa kanya.

"This is a bowed swiftblade, it was long ago when witches attacked us. It was invented for those flying creatures, natatandaan ko pa na naging paborito ko ito. That was the good old days, I'm just relaxing while killing those devils." Natawa siya pero walang tumawa maski isa sa amin.

"How can I master this weapon?" I bravely asked. She raised her eyebrow.

"You may certainly use long ranged combat here. The crossbow will be released first, then the arrow and metal rope will do their jobs; in the middle, the rope will catch fire. They may die naturally when it strikes the target well, but the rope will still magically encircle them.

"They will be burned alive, which is the hilarious thing about something like this." Lust said while smiling.

"Instant barbeque..." bulong ni Archer.

"That weapon is too cruel..." ani ni Princess

"Pero nung ginamit ko siya kanina, it looks normal. Walang apoy." Sambit ko, noong matandaan na hindi ko nagawa ang sinasabi niya.

"Oh, that weapon has a specific spell that you need to uncover in order to be able to fire but you did not manifest it. Since every one of your weaponry has a range, you can't actually use this at night." Ani ni List.

Lahat kami ay nakatuon ang atensyon sa kanya, agad napatayo at napatili si Princess nang may pumulupot na ahas sa kanyang leeg.

"Shh, sit down." Walang nagawa si Princess kundi sumunod, pumunta ang ahas sa direksyon ni Lust at doon ko napansin ang kwintas na nasa bibig nito. Ito ang weapon na nakita ni Princess.
