Demon Invasion

After defeating the guardian, Alex checked the chamber that the guardian was protecting, and as he expected, it was a storage room filled with various weapons, armor, forging materials, and other valuable things.

However, the passage of time had taken its toll on the vast majority of these items. The weapons and armor were now mere rusted relics, the once sturdy materials reduced to frail remnants, and even the once intricate blueprints had crumbled into dust.

But everything wasn't lost, as other than finding a few weapons and armor in the damaged state that could be restored or dismantled into precious metals, Alex also discovered a fifth Ranked forging flame in a deteriorating state and six blueprints.
