Chapter 224: Exploring the Dimensional Realm (6) - Thief, and others?

Arthur was hurt everywhere on his body, and with his current appearance of an old man, he looked rather pitiful. What waited for him after he passed through that door was an open green field which did not look like it was part of a volcano.

There were trees everywhere, but the main part of it was a garden in the middle with strange herbs filled with vitality.

He saw it, right in the middle of that garden, an enormous tree with strange golden fruits. The moment he looked at it, both bloodlines inside his body felt attracted to it, and his body moved without his command.

“Stop, Arthur, stop!”

That was what he told to himself multiple times, and eventually it worked, returning the control of his body.

The treasure he and Rolf were after was right in front of him, but he did not know if there were dangers around the area, and in his wounded state, Arthur was weaker than ever.

It was at that moment that someone appeared out of thin air, as if it had entered a dimensional door and appeared there, just like Arthur did a couple of minutes prior to that.

“Rolf!”

Rolf was the person who showed up, and differently from Arthur, he was not bruised and seemed to be in peak condition. The first thing he did was to check up on Arthur to see if he was okay, but when his eyes laid on the tree, greed could be seen in it.

He wanted it badly, and mischievous thoughts flashed through his mind.

Wasn’t that the perfect opportunity? The tree was right in front of him, and Arthur was hurt, barely able to walk!

“Hahahahaha! It is finally mine!”

Arthur saw the maniac laugh of Rolf, and he was not liking the situation.

“Rolf? Didn’t you mean our treasure?”

“Our? Look at your state. This is a great opportunity to have it all to myself!”

It was just like Arthur imagined. Greed took the best of Rolf, and he was not willing to share any of it after seeing how badly hurt Arthur was.

“Aren’t you afraid of the pact our families have?” Arthur said.

George was confident Rolf would do nothing against them because of that pact, but the next sentence surprised them.

“I wouldn’t do anything, but the pact does not work with me, someone who had been kicked out of the family! With this treasure, I will create a family of my own and destroy the Aagi family for good. After that, you are next!”

Rolf was from the Aagi family, but that was a long time ago. He had been kicked out of the family for good, and they did not recognize them as a member anymore, which meant the pact would not work with him at all!

Arthur tried his best to get up and stop Rolf from getting that treasure alone, but Rolf cast a wind spell, sending Arthur flying away from the tree and cutting his body everywhere.

He walked toward the tree with a greedy smile. Nothing happened. Not a single trap activated, or an enemy appeared to attack him.

Before, Arthur did not want traps or enemies, but now it would be the only thing capable of stopping Rolf from stealing the tree for himself, but it did not happen.

Rolf got closer to the giant tree, opened up his magical pouch, and a fierce suction force sucked the tree, tossing it into the pouch.

Just like that, the treasure both of them would share was gone, and Rolf had it all to him.

The strange mummy was still watching everything, shocked to see that Arthur had passed through that tower floor.

“How? I used a lot of my power to send a special creature just to go after that old man! Fuck, fuck, fuck!”

Arthur was the strongest of them, and that mysterious person who was watching everything knew it as well, and that is why he sent a special creature using his own power to go after him.

He was almost certain Arthur would die, but it did not happen, and Arthur fled from the tower floor, wounded. That was one reason Rolf appeared unscratched. The focus was on Arthur, and not him!

Rolf grabbed a few more things from the garden, and then continue forward, entering a magical portal, leaving the area.

Thirty minutes passed. Signy and Helga came from the portal, and when they saw Arthur all hurt, they instantly went to help him.

“What happened?” Signy said.

“I was hurt during the test inside the tower, and Rolf saw the opportunity to grab the treasures in this area for himself and then leave me behind to die.”

“Bastard! I knew he was not someone worth trusting.”

Arthur felt the same way, but he had trusted the pact between families, and that had caused his demise.

Signy and Helga had a few potions with them, coupled with the regeneration Arthur had by being a dragon and a giant. He recovered most of his wounds after one hour.

Then, he pointed toward the portal and said, “he used that portal to get to the next stage. I can guess there are some steps before reaching the end of this place, so we still have a chance of getting him before he flees from here with those treasures.”

George had said something about that place being an inheritance from a powerful mage. There was no way the test would end so soon, so Arthur had the hope of catching Rolf and getting back his treasures.

The only good part about all of that was that if Arthur caught him, then he would not have to share that treasure with the Aagi family, which meant it was more power to him!

Signy helped him get up, and the three of them moved toward the portal, passing through it and appearing in a completely new location.

It looked exactly like the insides of a cave, but the roof was a river of blood, not falling at their heads because of some mysterious power.

Far, Arthur noticed a silver chalice with blood on it, and then he saw countless people there.

Youths, all different from each other, but with one goal in mind, reach the chalice and get the inheritance. Rolf was among those people, clueless as well as how they were there.

“What is this?” Arthur said.

He scanned through the area and noticed that they were at least in the seventh circle, and three individuals were in the tenth circle!

They had not noticed those new people, and Arthur would be the focus of attention if he was an old man, different from everyone that was young there.

So, for that reason, he returned to his usual appearance, shocking Signy and Helga that were just beside him.

“Arthur? This is how you truly look? You are so, so- “

“So handsome? I know.”

Signy’s cheeks turned red, and she moved her head, avoiding Arthur’s gaze.
