"Emperor of the Universe..." he repeated slowly. "It has... a nice ring to it. I am... no one that fancy. I have no name. I am the Horseman of War. I slumber and meditate... I listen to the birds", he said as though that was the most natural thing in the world.
Kira continued his dance of death, slaughtering the mummies in less than a full minute, with the exception of the last one which Travis destroyed at the end.
"Heheh. How was that?"

"Good work." He said as they continued further along.
------------------
"Oh... so you're not a threat to me, or my family. Well I'll leave you be then." He said slithering back around his harem's resting place.

"I do not believe myself as sufficiently powerful to be a threat to you even if I wanted to be", the large being pointed out, as Travis left him to his own devices and returned to Erica's tent.
"Thanks", Kira said, smiling, as they stopped before the altar. "Three levers and no other door or passage... screams like 'two traps, one right' to me."

Trav 1 reformed besides his lovers and waited for them to wake up.
-----------------
"I wonder what happens if we pull all three at once?" He asked before using telekinesis to to so.
9 stones sup-eff in TK split 6/6/6 to pull all three levers at once.

As it turned out, some of the girls had already recovered, namely Tabane and Jasmine, the latter who welcomed him with a mild gesture of her hand.
"Hm. My best guess would be-" Kira began, as Travis pulled all three levers, causing a huge stone slab to fall towards them from the ceiling, as well as a greenish-white mist slowly filling the room from hidden vents, while a hidden staircase was revealed in one of the corners, all at once. "Yeah, something like this", the young butler said, shattering the stone slab with a well-placed kick before it crashed on them.

Let's go." He said moving to the next room before the gas got to them.
1 in spd to get there.
-----------------------
He sat next to them, and waited patiently.

"Yes, sir", Kira said with a nod as they rushed downstairs, running for several minutes through caves, passageways and stone and earth corridors, eventually arriving... in a large, open cave, with strange large plants and flowers, some of which were illuminating the room with beautiful lights and colors. The cavern was filled with long grass and old trees with wild and large roots going all over the place. And in the center of it all, was a huge sarcophagus... seemingly made of pure gold, and high quality jewels. "...Whoa."
Meanwhile, Erica, and the other girls, slowly blinked awake.
"A-Ah!" the blonde knight let out cutely as she saw him upon doing so.

"Hey girls, ready to go find that sword?" He asked.
--------------------
Travis casually walked up to the casket and attempted to open it.
7 stones in str to pry the lid open.

"The... the sword? Oh right! I had completely forgotten!" Erica let out somewhat comically. "If... if you think we can do it, sure. Though we should gather our equipment first. There are monsters all over the place in that tomb."
Travis moved to the casket, attempting to lift the lid. It seemed like the lid was very heavy, and the casket was originally intended to be opened via some sort of trick or puzzle or whatnot.
Of course, little of that actually mattered when someone could apply multiple tons of pressure with but a touch. Flexing his arm muscles just a little, the Fae'rhal vampire easily sent the lid flying, with Kira somewhat comically sidestepping out of the way, the gold slab slamming against a wall, and then the floor.
"Hm... it would seem king Valorus the Wise has returned to the dust where he came from", Kira noted as they glanced inside, as it seemed the corpse of the king buried a loooong time ago had turned to little but dust... leaving behind six objects, all semingly made of the same mystical, prismatic material, beautifully crafted, and radiating power.
A pickaxe.
A woodcutting axe.
A farming hoe.
A hammer.
A watering can.
And finally... a magnificent longsword.

He nodded and teleported them off to the tomb.
4 stones sup-eff in Teleportation to head off to the tomb with my harem.
---------------------
He picked up, and examined each item.
10 in General Knowledge to appraise each Item.

The - still very unclothed - girls were teleported to the other Travis and Kira's location as the former was examining the items.
As it turned out, their magical properties were not exactly visible to the naked eye, nor did Travis possess extensive knowledge on the long-dead king or the material those items were made out of, which meant he would have to use some sort of ability to either read magic and/or auras and analyze them with it to know what they could do for sure.
What he did manage to sense/figure out for now was that this material, whatever it was, was not normally found on Earth, and that each item had a significant aura of power.... with the sword's being positively massive - though to be fair, not as ridiculous as some of the other items he already owned, like the Gauntlet. But it was still easily a world-class weapon, that much he was sure of.
"You... you already found it?" Erica said in amazement as she approached the casket.

"Damn straight." He said using magic to try and search info on the items.
43 stones in Sorcery to try and learn about the items via a magical google search.

From what he managed to sense, the artifacts of King Valorus the Wise had the following abilities: -Prismatic Pickaxe (+3 weapon; Earthquake AN 10 - Int.bonus, Efficient, 2x damage, 3x damage VS underground targets, Ineffective VS Flying targets; Area Effect, Causes massive collateral damage. If 'charged' for 2 panels, AN 10 effect VS Hardness/Area - whichever is higher - to shatter any non-magical stone/rock/brick formation into countless fist-sized pieces in a single blow; stones are free from GP for this effect, but still require the pickaxe to be swung at the target. The Prismatic Pickaxe is indestructible, but could be melted and reforged with sufficient heat.) -Prismatic Axe (+4 weapon; AN 8 stones VS Hardness/Size of target tree/wooden object to cut it into medium-sized logs in a single blow; stones are free from GP, but the axe still requires to be swung at its target for the effect to activate. The Prismatic Axe is indestructible, but could be melted and reforged with sufficient heat.) -Prismatic Hoe (+2 weapon; AN 9 Mastery of Earth, Int.bonus, Efficient, Manipulate only, Area effect. Using this item, one can till vast areas of land within mere moments, among other uses. The Prismatic Hoe is indestructible, but could be melted and reforged with sufficient heat.) -Prismatic Hammer (+3 weapon; MN 10 effect adding directly to how many times per day an inventor can put stones in Intelligence + Inventing to work on an invention. Alternately, building any normal object/piece of furtniture/other with this hammer takes but an instant as long as the user has the materials on hand. The Prismatic Hammer is indestructible, but could be melted and reforged with sufficient heat.) -Prismatic Watering Can (AN 8 Nastery of Water, Int.bonus, Efficient, Create/Manipulate, Area Effect. Additionally has an AN 9 Control Weather (Rain Only), Area effect power if needed. The Prismatic Watering Can is indestructible, but could be melted and reforged with sufficient heat.) -The Prismatic Sword (Unlike the other Prismatic tools which are part of Valorus' treasure, the Prismatic Sword is not 'merely' a sword made of prismatic material which in turn made it more powerful, but was actually enchanted with powerful magics on top of it, making it a potent artifact of power. The blade has the ability to fire various colored beams, each with its own effects, described further below: - Melee Weapon (+7, 3x damage, AP (Ignores 7 Toughness even if No AP), May disintegrate if it kills, Can cut through/parry magic and energy.)
- Red Beam (As Force Blast AN 8, Int.bonus, 2x damage, Sets flammable objects on fire; Fire Element.)
- Orange Beam (As Force Blast AN 9, Int.bonus, 2x damage, Ignores Hardness of Objects, After Effect; Acid Element.)
- Yellow Beam (As Force Blast AN 10, Int.bonus, 2x damage, Normal and/or Stun damage; Electricity Element.)
- Green Beam (As Force Blast AN 8, Int.bonus; Ignores Toughness and Armor; success means AN 8 Atk VS Dur; Deals damage equal to red stones of damage every panel for 1 panel/white stone of 'damage'; Poison Element.)
- Blue Beam (As Force Blast AN 8, Int.bonus; Ignores Toughness and Armor; deals no damage; success means AN 8 Atk VS Dur; deals no damage; Victim is turned to stone for 1 day/red stone of 'damage'.)
- Indigo Beam (As Force Blast AN 9, Int.bonus; Ignores Toughness and Armor; deals no damage; success means as many stones as an Atk VS Int+Mental Defense; deals no damage; success inflicts permanent psychological challenges of a value equal to white stones of 'damage'.)
- Violet Beam (AN 8, Int.bonus, Ignores Toughness and Armor; deals no damage; if successful, victim is forcefully transported to another dimension as per AN 8 Dimensional Travel.)
- White Beam (AN 9, Int.bonus, Ignores Toughness and Armor; deals no damage; acts as magical Healing AN 9 upon impact. Still restricted by regular Magical Healing limitations.)
- Indestructible (While it can be improved with white stones, the Prismatic Sword is indestructible and cannot be reforged.)
It was becoming more and more clear that, while each of those devices was probably quite powerful and valuable as they were, their powers - except for the sword - were originating from the material itself, as opposed to external enchantments. Using them to melt and reforge them into other items would also create new magical items with their own purposes and abilities.

"Interesting. Yes these will be most useful." He said sending them into the gate.

"H-Heh? You're taking them all?" Erica asked. "...But... what will I tell my father?"
