5 Samuaris Determination (2/2)

It was blue and had a curved point that was decorated with some red gems. Twisting it in my hand, I try to get a feel for it.

'Congratulations Player, you've completed the task before the designated time, and by completely killing all five of the advanced clowns.' The voice appears again. I look at the timer, it's stopped ticking down.

Royal slithers towards me, rubbing his head against my arm. His body has a couple wounds that that are still bleeding. However, for the most part, the few dozen cuts he had were healing visibly fast. The scales that had been torn off and broken, had already started to grow back.

They were a light pink as they grew but they began to darken once they'd expanded to full size. His eye were back to their calm and serious demeanor the bloodlust gone from them.

”Good boy,” I say as I rub his head, his tail curls around my legs.

'The Player has triggered a special reward, a rare treasure chest for defeating all five of the advanced nightmare clowns. Please wait a moment as the treasure chest is prepared. Also initiating clean up.' The child chimes and I watch as the once bloodied and disgusting room is cleaned.

A white dust appears from an unknown point and begins to form little worms. The worms are about the size of a child's body. They move quickly, absorbing the remains of the clowns, even going as far as consuming the leftover weapons that were on the ground.

I hold the spear tightly to my chest, but the strange white worms don't make any move toward me or Royal. They are just focusing on the disgusting flesh of the clowns and their black blood. In the span of a couple seconds, they've returned the room to the way it was when I'd just arrived in it.

After they were done, their bodies began to disperse back into the white dust.

'Thank you for your patience Player, your reward is ready.' After the voice sounded, a flash of golden light appeared a little bit ahead of me. The light began to congeal and condense into a dazzling point of light.

With another bright flash, the light began to dim and in the place of where the point of light had been a chest appears. It's elegant, a clown hat rest on top of it, the wood is glittering red like a ruby and it has stripes running vertically in blue and white along with it.

'Will the Player please collect their rewards.' The voice appears again.

I shift forward with Royal following closely behind me. We arrive in front of the dazzling chest, reaching forward, I grasp the edge of the clown treasure chest and pull it upwards, opening the lid of the treasure chest, peering inside.
