The Statues

The present is part of the statue and not removable or openable. Yulia et al wake back up after their rest and go to examine the statues.

"Liloth is glowing... I guess maybe because we met her? Ash is broken, probably because he's dead. Possibly Levateinn is marked because we didn't meet her, but did interact with her in a sense or... maybe-" Yulia surmises as she examines the statues.

"She's marked because she's here," Dreg cuts in.

"What?" Cherchiel asks sounding horrified.

"Yeah... Levateinn and The Demon of Gifts are present on this floor. That's part of why I'd like to get the fuck out of here as soon as possible," he states.

"You're saying that two Archdemons are present on this floor?" Cherchiel asks sounding horrified.

"Two... Two creatures as powerful as Ash are here and we... have to get through that?" Yulia adds and Dreg just nods.

"That's not good... Not good at all," Isalia says.

"There is also indeed a floor Monster. It's called Harvester. Luckily unlike the two Archdemons I have no reason to fear it and I can continue to offer my services to keep you safe from it while you rest here," Dreg adds.

"Yeah... I'm assuming your continued service will not be free," Yulia states and Dreg nods.

"As much as I hate it here and want to get out, I'm somewhat duty bound to keep my functions up for the most part. Even giving it to you once free, was something of an infraction. I mean if I wasn't duty bound I wouldn't be here and would just let you do this floor all on your own, so good and bad news I guess..." he clarifies.

Yulia turns her attention back to the statues. There are ten, Liloth, Ash, Levateinn and The Demon of Gifts are the only ones with anything special about them. The others are depicted, but the statues are just normal statues with nothing special about them, other than their appearances which are all monstrous. Liloth and Ash similarly are depicted in monstrous forms, Ash in his three headed form and Liloth as a massive spider with a human face and human hands on the end of each spider like limb, the front two hands holding marionette crosses.

"Kind of glad we never saw her in her real form..." Isalia says looking at the statue.

"Okay so... with any luck... We don't have to worry about any of the rest of these statues, two archdemons is pretty bad, but at least it's not like all remaining nine or something," Yulia states and then turns to the doors, "we have to go forward eventually," she sighs and carefully approaches the doors. She stops in front of them and Isalia moves forward.

"I'm not the best at magic traps. Knocker used mechanical traps exclusively but I'll do my best," she says before moving to examine the door. After a bit she touches the door and it opens slowly, the two faces contorting and starting to scream in pain as it opens, but otherwise nothing happens, "no trap... Just... awfulness..." Isalia says weakly. The other side of the door is a hallway, it goes forward to a door at the end of the hall, with two other doors on either side at the mid point of the hallway, giving a left, right and forward path each one through a door. The left door is strange. There's a strange area around it where the normal strange flesh walls are gone replaced with white marble and the door itself is simple wood. The appearance of this small area reminding her of the third floor. The other doors are made out of black metal and look twisted with shards of pointy jagged metal stabbing outwards haphazardly.

"Left door... Right door, or keep going forward?" Yulia asks.

"Left door pretty..." Goma says.

"It's weird to say, but it feels... Angelic..." Cherchiel says, uncertainty clear in her voice.
