“WHAT THE F—”

‘plinkplinkplinkplinkpli-’

Another round of spines smashed into the lid of the chest serving as Damien’s temporary lodgings. The implications of what he’d read were so unexpected he hardly cared. The boots constituted an exceptional piece of equipment which was soul-bound so he’d never run the risk of losing it along with a truly wonderful set piece bonus if he could attain all five pieces. That was less than half of what prompted his outburst.

Bartholomew had once been the ‘Sunset Emperor’, an agility-based occultist, just as he was. Bartholomew had mocked him for pursuing this route, had urged him to play with intelligence as his primary stat, yet he’d been the perfect candidate to provide him with tutelage all along. Instead of mentoring Damien, Bartholomew had withheld his knowledge and mocked him for insisting on following what was now, canonically, a potential chosen path.

They’d have words, assuming Damien ever got out of the Dark Tower. Well, getting out of the Dark Tower would be easy enough if Damien chose to turn back. They’d definitely have words sooner or later. For the moment, Damien was not pleased. He was dedicated to finishing what he’d started, so he’d have to put a pin in the argument that was already building inside him. After that, his vampiric mentor was gonna get it. ‘Let me just rifle through my Bag of Holding and see if I have any occultist tomes on the lost art of stabbing people.’ From Mr. Stab the World, himself. What a duplicitous scumbag.

Damien contained himself, his breath coming in short bursts through his nostrils. He couldn’t yet equip the new boots since he was still five levels away from the level requirement for doing so, but he was glad to have them. He could now focus on how to get out of this box without dying.

If he could kill the two Cave Urchins with line of sight to the back of the chest, he’d be able to get there, reenter Shadow Walker and leave. Now he had a goal, he could start working toward it.

He equipped a rock and threw it out of the chest. At the exact point it started to hover, the spines struck. Three seconds. Damien rose on his knees and threw three knives in rapid succession. The first urchin he needed to kill was near, and he didn’t miss. Damien was down again before it had finished screeching. One more flick, closely followed by one more Damien-in-the-box performance and both urchins were dead.

Now would be the worst time to mess this up. It was also the part he was most likely to mess up. With only one second left before the next volley, Damien threw the final rock high overhead, toward the opposite corner of the room. Then he crouched down, making sure the projectile was the only visible target.

His timing was adequate. The noise suggested all the urchins had fired, not just those in his vicinity. He was free! He clambered out of the chest
