Lake let the others go up first because he was still a bit worried about being struck in the back by them even with the advantage his skill The Sight gave him in reacting to such attacks. Once they were about half way up using their various means of moving upwards Lake himself jumped up and landed on the edge of the bed.

Right after this he vaguely felt the others reach the top of the bed as well but he didn't even give them a glance too absorbed in trying to make sense of what he was seeing. It was obviously a massive formation and at its center a normal sized body glowing a bright purple but the size of the formation was like nothing he had ever seen. It was so big that it covered most of the giant bed making it about five times wider than the next biggest formation he had seen.

Actually that wasn't true if you took into account the flesh formation from the Metal Domain but this was definitely the biggest that was made from just weaved mana. "What is this?" Lake didn't know who asked this because they were done talking before he identified the voice but it didn't matter so he just looked towards Hampton to see if the older man had an answer that he was going to share.

When the older man saw him looking it seemed he took it as a threat and instantly started to talk. "There's no way to know but if we take into account the time at which the Demigod went missing and the door was sealed I can make a pretty good guess that were looking at a revival formation the Demon Lord planned to use to revive himself if he had been killed during the last battle he fought against the Holy Goddess and God of Light."

Hearing Hamptons words, Lake used the knowledge he had about this battle to make sure Hampton was talking about the fight in which Akal had assassinated the Holy Goddess. "Do you mean the battle that the Goddess perished during?" Getting a nod, Lake went ahead and asked the next question he had. "Do you think the body at the center is that of the Demigod that used to live here or a different one placed here for safe keeping?"

He could probably use Detector to find this out himself but he wanted to hear what Hampton had to say since the older man would give him more information he could use even if his answer was wrong. "Most likely it is Maran but there's no way for us to get close enough to make sure."

Getting a name he assumed was the name of the missing Demigod Lake quickly entered it into Detector to see if Hampton was right. When he saw the body in the center didn't start to glow he was about to accept this as fact but the Insider made a small rumble in his chest before showing him a brief vision.

Once it was over Lake knew he as a mortal wouldn't be able to use his skills on a divinity and accept the results with confidence and this was true even if the divine being in question was dead. This didn't mean his skill hadn't worked correctly though just that there was a good chance it hadn't.

Feeling the size of the quake that had just shook the ground for around a full ten seconds, Lake knew it was time for them to go and turned towards the others and said. "Well if this is all that's up here we should get back to the others." After he said this he jumped down from the giant bed and waited for the others to join him.

"So do any of you know why the bed's so big if he was sleeping in it at a normal size?" This was the first time the guard had spoken since the battle but his question was something Lake was sure they had all been thinking since seeing what the size of the guy inside the formation had been but there was no way they could answer it so no one spoke up for almost a full minute after they had been walking back to the entrance.

"Maybe he didn't always sleep the same but needed the giant bed just in case he wanted to sleep while in his divine form." Lake nodded to this answer because it was probably just as good as the real one in all reality even if it wasn't right.

...

Once they made it back to the main room Donny couldn't help but look over to the table that had the looking stone on it. It was right next to the door and he felt even if they weren't going to be allowed to take anything he could grab it while the others watched Hampton dispel his formation that was causing the quakes.

It was a risk though he didn't think the guy that was currently telling them what to do would kill him if he was caught since the man didn't seem to kill people having already spared him and Hampton. It would make him look even worse in the eyes of Hampton though but he was already ready for the repercussions of what they had done here.

...

As they passed all the easy to take items on the way back to the formation Lake wondered if they were really as safe as they seemed. If the Demon Worshipers had been here years ago it would make sense that they would take whatever they could on the way out. He guessed there was a chance they had been in too much of a hurry and hadn't bothered but he felt it was much more likely that they hadn't wanted to risk touching anything just in case.

Turning to Hampton Lake said. "We won't be touching anything just in case there's some type of trap or something guarding the stuff." Hampton seemed happy with this so Lake said the last thing he wanted to settle before they walked out of here and tried to escape the collapsed tunnel. "Also let's keep the fight to ourselves. No reason to try and settle anything until we escape since we might need everyone to get out."

Seeing everyone start to nod their heads, Lake pointed towards the formation and said. "Get rid of it and let's get out of here." This hadn't taken too much time but by the time they got out of underground he wouldn't be surprised if a few more hours passed and every moment increased the odds his treasure wouldn't still be there once he got around to summoning it.
