Nigel asked a question to the captain."Captain, what do you mean by that?"Preston moved some hair away from his forehead before answering."On the first layer, the dimension was an icy field populated by rank 3 Snow bears. On the second one, we were in an underground area against Steeled centipedes. From that, we can imagine that all the other layers will contain a different environment. One thing you might want to know is that they are real magical beasts and not some creations of the inheritance ground."'They actually created real environments and filled them with the magical beasts corresponding to each location. I don't even want to think at the amount of preparation required to set up something like that.'Sara thought, marveled by the Royal inheritance.Nigel spoke again."So, we just need to clear the floor to pass it?"Preston nodded."That's the method that we used and it worked just fine.""Number of specimens?""One hundred on the first layer and two hundred in the secon
The four students neared the mountain of goods.They all had an amazed expression as they looked at the amount of wealth piled on the ground.Errol was the first to speak."Just the value of these Obsidian Credits is more than a million! And there are more than a thousand inscribed items!"There was some greed in his eyes as he kept staring at the rewards.'This is only the reward for one layer and it is worth a ridiculous amount of money. Isn't it way too much for just three hundred rank 3 magical beasts?'Noah thought while keeping his eyes fixed on the items.With the exception of their value in Credits, there was nothing that really interested him.Errol, on the other hand, neared a big metal mace with many runes on its body.He swung it a few times and then inspected it carefully.After a few minutes, he nodded happily and raised his head to look at the others in his group."No one minds if I take this?"All three of them shrugged their shoulders, the Royal family wouldn't really
"Thanks, Sara, you really saved us out there."Sara nodded, sitting on the ground.The effort of vanquishing the fog in the entirety of the fourth floor had tired her greatly, she needed to rest."As for the things that you saw when we were inside the illusion..."Sara raised one hand and interrupted him."Don't worry, everyone has its traumatic experiences."The other three nodded and lowered their heads, they were quite ashamed that they had been seen when they faced their most painful memories.Another pile of goods, bigger than the previous one, appeared in the middle of the layer.Errol laid his back on the terrain and spoke in a calm voice."I wonder why we are given this much time for each floor."Nigel answered."It's probably in order to let the participants safely approach every test. If it wasn't for Sara, clearing this floor might have taken a while.""So, what do we do now?"Yaoyao asked.She was a bit annoyed that Sara had saved her and she kept her head lowered the whol
Seven packs of monkey-type magical beasts to defeat in six weeks of time.They had all the time needed to carefully plan their approach, they had just to be careful not to cause too much ruckus.In the end, they chose a simple tactic: Sara would be the bait and expose each leader and the other three students had to kill it.Then, they would regroup and apply a different combat formation to better exploit the weaknesses of each kind of beasts.Earth monkeys and Spiked monkeys relied on their bodies so it was better to fight them as a group in a solid and stable formation, using strong attacks to kill each specimen in one strike.Fire monkeys and Toxic monkeys were adept in spells with a large area of effect, the students chose to fight them separately, dividing the creatures' attention into four different areas.Wind monkeys and Dwarf monkeys were fast and nimble, Sara and Errol had to stay in the center of their packs to attract their attention while Yaoyao and Nigel did a pincer atta
The Cloud eagle slowly flapped its wings.It gradually distanced from the ground, staring at the three students at a few meters in the distance.Nigel's body was firmly stuck on the claws of its right foot, he was still alive but blood flowed incessantly from his injuries.There was only one outcome in his situation: death.The youths understood that and hastily turned to continue their escape toward the passage to the sixth layer.However, while he moved his gaze away from Nigel, Sara remembered something that made her curse loudly."Fuck!"Sara turned but not toward the passage, she faced the rank 4 beast, looking at it with determined eyes.She jumped ahead, black rings appeared under her feet and reddish black smoke began to envelop her.'Shadow steps! Bloodline form!'She activated her spell and ran at full speed toward the beast.Errol and Yaoyao noticed her behavior but continued to run away, no matter how frustrated they were about Nigel's situation, they wouldn't risk their l
Sara moved toward an empty area of the encampment."So, what is your bright idea?"Preston followed him with Yaoyao and Errol at her sides.Sara looked around and nodded in satisfaction."Captain, there should be around fifty soldiers in your troop, am I right?"Preston answered with a confused expression."Well, yes. Fifty-three to be precise."Sara continued."And I believe that the items from the inheritance ground will stay with you until the envoy from the Royal family arrives, right?""That is true."Yaoyao and Errol were already shaking their heads since they understood Sara's intentions.Sara made a gesture and the "Breath" blessing inside Nigel's space-ring materialized on the ground.Its appearance attracted the attention of the entire camp since the density of the "Breath" instantly increased by one-fold.Preston's mouth was hanging on his jaw, he still hadn't inspected the goods that the students retrieved and he was quite shocked to see such a precious mineral in that gig
'Oh right, I only gave him enough money for two months of wine.'Sara looked at the pitiful state in which Ivor was.He had returned to his previous smelly and ragged figure and tens of empty jars were left all around the floor.Sara picked a thousand Credits and casually threw them to him."Go to the alchemy division and buy some wine, money shouldn't be a problem from now on."Just the amount that she had seized from the rewards amounted to ten thousand Credits, Ivor's expenses could be covered for two years with those.Seeing that he was about to complain more, Sara revealed him something to placate his mood."You might want to know that I've decided to accumulate "Breath" again in my sea of consciousness."Sara knew that even if Ivor didn't pressure him, he had a lot of expectations regarding her improvements in the Elemental forging method.Ivor's eyes lit up and regained some focus."Are you sure? Is the internal pressure gone?"Sara shook her head."Not completely but I'm quite
Sara walked toward the inventory of the Sect.'Win-win she says… she just wants to use me to get the Royal inheritance, I don't know if I'll have any value after that.'He was thinking about his conversation with the royals.'It might be fine till I'm discovered but what will happen at that point? I don't believe that they will simply clear my name, nor that I will allow them to do so. My future clash with Alpha Calhoun's pack is set in stone.''What's most likely to happen is that Lane will be blamed for everything will trade my life to pacify the situation.He was a criminal, there was no other way to see it.The Royal family was in charge of the county but they had to maintain a peaceful relationship with their subjects.Sara sighed after realizing that his only option was the usual one.'I need power.'She reached the inventory and showed her token to the guards that let him pass almost immediately."What can I do for you this time?"Professor Lynn spoke to her with a trace of int
