Izroth used his full strength to try and remove the ring that had attached itself to his finger, however, it would not budge. It was as if the ring had fused with him and become a part of his actual physical body. In the blink of an eye, the only items left equipped to Izroth were his Sword of The Storm, accessories such as his necklace and ring, as well as, his trinket. As for the other pieces of equipment, they had all been destroyed the instant the blackish-red aura encompassed his body.
After finding that it was impossible to remove the ring, Izroth decided to cease his fruitless attempts. This was the fourth floor of Zushuatri's Treasure Room. Why would he store a cursed item in this place and then grant Izroth access to the fourth floor? Was this his way of secretly getting revenge on Izroth for having injured his student? No, Izroth did not believe this to be the case.
