"I wonder what kind of difficulties Sheena would meet over there." Samuel frowned as he hurried along the road she had taken.He noticed the walls were not made of rock like the path leading to the Soulrender. Instead, they were constructed from a kind of special stone. He reached out and touched them. They were cold to the touch."This is grand, I must say. This Demon Queen really prepared the path to her inheritance in a grand way. With all these shenanigans, I hope the trial won't be too difficult," he thought as he continued forward.The road seemed to stretch endlessly. He pushed his speed to the maximum, and a few minutes later, he arrived in a large hall.There was nothing particularly strange about it at first glance, except for its extravagance. The walls were adorned with intricate carvings made from special stones, along with strange symbols etched deeply into the surface.He looked ahead and saw Sheena standing before a massive wall covered in symbols he couldn't make out

Samuel smirked.“It’s because you hit worse than a baby. Don’t blame me for that.”“Shut up!” Kelvin snapped as he dashed forward, hand reaching out to grab him again.Samuel’s eyes narrowed. The moment Kelvin closed the distance, Samuel’s body exploded into motion. He shot forward, slipping past the incoming grab with a sharp pivot, his movements precise and controlled. In the same breath, he drove his fist into Kelvin’s head with a clean, snapping impact.Kelvin reacted instantly. His elbow lashed out like a coiled spring releasing, backed by a surge of deep, violent energy that rippled through the air.The strike landed.Samuel was knocked sideways, his vision spinning as the force rattled his skull.Kelvin strode forward, a confident smile spreading across his face.“Do you still think you can keep up? Should I finish you already?”Samuel lay on the ground, silent this time. Frustration burned within him. He hated this feeling of powerlessness, especially against someone he could

Kelvin’s fist shot forward, fast and precise.Samuel twisted aside at the last possible instant, the blow grazing past him by a hair’s breadth. Kelvin did not pause. His other fist drove forward immediately, slamming into Samuel’s chest with crushing force and sending him flying.Samuel’s body smashed into the rock wall, blasting straight through it.Stone shattered. The entire wall collapsed, the space expanding violently as debris rained down.Samuel pushed himself up from the rubble and coughed out blood.“Are you alright, Master?” the Soulrender dragon soul asked, its voice tight with worry.“Yes. How is he this strong?” Samuel frowned.“That is not his real power. The grey aura around him is similar to Lord Ananias. I believe he hid his energy somewhere in the past, and this young man who claims to be him has found it,” the dragon said.“You are not sure it is him?” Samuel’s frown deepened.“I am not. It feels like him, yet not like him at the same time. I cannot tell. But one th

"I'm not a successor of any Ananias. He's not worthy," Samuel said calmly.The dragon fell silent. It had never seen anyone boast like this. "You shouldn't speak like this, Master. The Heavenly Thunder might strike you out of nowhere," it warned."Shut up," Samuel commanded.He turned his gaze toward the army of the undead."Even if I bind with you, is that enough for them to serve me instead?" he asked, frowning."Yes. You might not know this, but Lord Ananias used this sword to bind their souls while they were alive. Before he died, he performed a powerful ritual that turned them into undead. The Demon queen, surprisingly, did not stop them," the dragon explained."Hmm." Samuel nodded.Suddenly, something stirred on his hand. He glanced down. It was Nyx's tattoo.How long had it been since it last moved? He couldn't remember.The black tattoo slowly peeled away from his skin and emerged, taking form as Nyx. Samuel felt a flicker of happiness. It had been a long time."Nyx," he calle

As they were talking, Dianna had already slipped to the side, positioning herself for an ambush the moment Mobius struck.Mobius surged forward, mana blazing. Flames erupted from his wand in a relentless torrent, a roaring stream that swallowed the purple-robed man whole, burying him beneath a violent inferno.“Now, who’s smug?” he sneered, eyes fixed on the churning blaze as the figure vanished within it.In the next instant, the flames vanished as if they had never existed. No smoke, no scorch marks, nothing. The purple-robed man stood there with a calm smile, his hair and robes untouched, pristine, as though the fire had never reached him.“Are you done?” he asked coldly. “My turn.”He raised his hand and snapped his fingers.Everything froze.Mobius, Dianna, everyone, locked in place mid-motion. Even Dianna, who had been inches from stepping out to launch her ambush, was caught and held still. At the same instant, Sophia, who had already begun slipping away from the fight toward o

"I suggest we just do it. I mean, even if we go for the normal inheritance, it's not like there's no risk at all. I'd rather die failing the generals’ inheritance test than die over the inheritance of an ordinary Zaki tribe," Carson said."You have a point. I agree as well. But if any of you is not sure, you can opt out and go for the normal inheritance," Heng Mei said.They all looked at one another, silent for a moment, then shook their heads."We’ve come too far to stop now. I don’t see any reason to quit. It’s either the generals’ inheritance test or nothing," Amelia said stubbornly, a faint, secretive glint flashing in her eyes. If this inheritance was truly as powerful as rumored, then she would rise rapidly and finally stand on equal ground with her.Samuel would see it. He would see that she was not inferior.The others nodded in agreement with Amelia’s words. At this point, life and death no longer weighed as heavily on them. They had brushed against death too many times alre
