Wilbur bowed to Stefan's skeleton before turning to a golden treasure chest next to the bed. Wilbur could feel the special aura radiating off the Light Armor inside and knew that it was right inside that chest. It was time the Light Armor showed itself after sitting still for centuries.
Wilbur walked up to the treasure chest, reaching out to open it. Just as he was about to touch the box, Wilbur paused abruptly as he turned to look at Stefan. Despite Stefan having led the way for Wilbur, he seemed to have an ulterior motive. Back at the crossroads, Stefan had purposefully led Wilbur into the stone room on the right, where he had nearly been killed by the gray Shadow Men.
Stefan might be a senior, but he was certainly not to be trusted. Wilbur picked up the treasure chest for his own protection, setting it down on the stone desk. He crossed over to stand behind the chest, reaching around to open it from the back.
Indeed, Wilbur had been right to be cautious. The second he opened the treasure chest, a blade flew out and drove itself into the wall across it. A long crack appeared where the blade had planted itself.
Just then, the skeleton sitting on the bed turned into a pile of dust. It seemed to have been drained of all its energy.
Wilbur turned to the stone bed coldly. "You did this to yourself, Senior Stefan. No one else is to blame."
It was a good thing Wilbur had been wary enough to open the treasure chest from the back, or he would have been impaled by the blade Stefan had planted in there. It seemed like Wilbur was never Stefan's chosen one, and all his while, he was nothing by Stefan's prey.
