Chapter 225: Inheritance Test (1)

Signy and Helga already had a deep impression of Arthur, as he was someone strong, but after seeing how he truly looked, the admiration they had for him increased.

One thing was an old man who was strong after training for years; another thing was a youth who had the same level of power.

In their eyes, Arthur was someone talented enough to be called a genius, and that was not an exaggeration.

“Who are these people?”

Arthur saw countless youths that were strong, and three of them were at the tenth circle, similar to his own power. There was no way these people could be from the same place as him, so the only guess he had was that these youths were from the central continent!

Some of these youths were in groups, but most of them were alone, so Arthur looked for one of these individuals.

He chose someone that was not that strong, having the power of the seventh circle, and that looked friendly as well, as he was not looking to start another fight.

“Excuse me.” Arthur said.

The person he talked to was a cute girl who wore a long dark robe and had dark hair as well. What caught the most attention were her eyes, which had a deep red color.

“Is there anything you need?” She said.

“I just want to know from where everyone here comes from. Could you maybe enlighten me?”

“Oh? Are you those people that studies all the adversaries before a test? Cool. Well, I don’t know the exact location of everyone, but most come from powerful families or academies on the central continent. You see those three right there?”

She pointed at the three who were at the tenth circle, and said, “these three are the top students of the younger generation, and the three of them are from the same academy, the Abyssal Bone.”

“They are so strong, yet so young!”

“That is to be expected. Their academy gives them lots of resources, and that is why they are ahead of all the others from the younger generation!”

Arthur’s guess was correct, and everyone there was indeed from the central continent. He did not know what was happening, and why those people were there, so he kept talking with that girl named Samantha and learned more about what was happening.

Whoever built that realm had built different passages to enter the inheritance in all parts of the world. Arthur, for example, used the strange palace on the island of giants to reach it, but everyone else from the central continent used another entrance!

All the youths used the same entrance, so Arthur knew at least two different entrances, but did not know if there was more scattered throughout the planet.

It was not the first time youths were sent there. That inheritance opened up once in a 1000 years. The reason only youths entered there was because the highest strength one could have when entering was the tenth circle!

Official mages could not enter inside the inheritance. They had tried to fake their power using spells or artifacts, but it did not work.

No one knew how long the inheritance was there, but they all knew that 1000 years ago, lots of youths entered, trying to get the inheritance for themselves, but no one got it!

Half of the youths who entered died, but those who survive did not get the inheritance, only some other treasures.

Samantha shared all of that with Arthur as if he was a friend of hers, which made him wonder if he was that charming or she was just someone that loved to talk.

Arthur was glad to learn all of that with a simple conversation, but he wanted to learn how the test worked. But it was more troublesome than he thought.

“Do you know something about how the inheritance test goes?”

“Unfortunately, not. The information we have since the last opening was from 1000 years ago, and before that everything is lost…”

He said goodbyes to Samantha, who seemed happy after getting to know him, and returned to Signy and Helga.

“Oh, right! Where is Finn?”

“No idea… I don’t think he passed through the previous level.”

It was a shame, but Arthur was not that shaken. He barely knew Finn, but he still hoped that he was not dead. As for Rolf, he was far away in the middle of the crowd, anxious after getting the tree for himself, yet unable to leave and flee.

Now Rolf would have to take part in the test for the inheritance with all the youths, and during it, Arthur would do his best to steal the magical pouch in his possession and get his hands on that tree!

Speaking of treasures, based on what Samantha told him, the portal they had on the central continent led them directly to the place they were currently in, which meant they did not know about all the rest of the dimensional realm!

“This means that if the other rooms have treasures, I am the only person who knows about them!”

George, who was only observing everything quietly, said, “Arthur, get the inheritance. If you get it, then you will have the power to move freely throughout this dimensional realm, so getting our hands on all those treasures will be easy!”

“Also, try your best to get some friends, maybe Samantha? She is from the central continent, the place you will go next, so it will prove useful.”

Arthur agreed to what George was saying and waited for the next stage of the test.

All the youths waited inside of that cave-like place. Some tried to get near the strange chalice, but there was an invisible barrier that blocked everyone that tried to advance, so they all waited inside.

After two hours, an ethereal figure of an old man appeared, floating above the chalice. It was so big that everyone could see from afar, and when that figure spoke, everyone could hear as well!

“I am Ichor, the creator of this place!”

Everyone present paid close attention to what Ichor was saying. George explained to Arthur that it was only a small piece of Ichor’s soul that was still there to guide them to get the inheritance.

The real Ichor could be dead, or somewhere else.

“The test to get my inheritance will change this time, different from all the previous times people tried to conquer it!”

“This place opened up three times already, and during 3000 years, no one passed the test. The time is running out, so this time, someone will have to pass it!”

“With that in mind, the test will change. I will teleport everyone here to another location where you will have to survive against beasts, the environment, the other mages, and try to find the inheritance as well!”

What Ichor said was that the test was basically… a battle royal, and only one of them will find the inheritance!
