Once we arrived at the inheritance, we discovered that the gates were closed, but once we stepped forward, a powerful presence manifested itself from within. The Gates began zing with crimson mes, as two fiery eyes emerged within the manifesting divine mes…
FLUOOOOOSH!
"Now this is quite the unique surprise. The Dragon King himself." A loud, manly voice echoed from within. "Wee to my Inheritance, brave ones! Gahahahaha!"
It was a powerful, all-epassing divine presence equal to the strongest foes I''ve fought against, such as the Deep One, if not even higher. Yet it also seemed limited, sealed.
"You''re the Venerable of mes?" I asked.
"Indeed." The zing manifestation smiled. "It is a surprise to meet so many Dragons all at once, and so many beings out of my continent! It is truly intriguing to me how you''ve made such a varied group of warriors… This would be the first time a Dragon has ever attempted to enter my Inheritance… Hmm, this might be fun."
"Hello, Venerable of mes." The Frost Queen said.
"Old man…" The Fox Venerable yawned.
"Hahh… HAHAHAHA! So you are carrying two Venerables with you? What is this sorcery?!" The Venerable of mes was shocked. "You seem to have a powerful connection with their souls! Have you inherited their powers?!"
"More or less." I nodded. "And I might have to do the same with yours. If you are open for talk though, can I ask you what you are seeking out of this?" I wondered.
"What am I seeking?" Laughed the venerable. "You''re going straight for the questions, huh? Well, since I was born in thisnd that I''ve desired to unify and protect the Fire Giants. As a race, we are violent, warmongers, and bloodthirsty, but we also have strong, brave hearts. Fire Giants ain''t perfect, but they''re honest, and strong-willed people… My only desire is to secure their survivability! If you truly want to inherit my powers, you will have to promise me you will protect my kin."
"Wait, that''s it?" Miranda asked. "I thought you wanted a sessor to burn everything!"
"Well, what I once did… was greatly exaggerated." Laughed the Venerable. "You may or may not learn more as you enter my Inheritance. Once you canplete this Tower''s single Trial, you will gain the ability to teleport to the other Trials. Nowe, I wont answer any more questions! I am not the kind of person that sits down for an hour talking useless things. I want action! Dragon King! Show me you''re worthy, or die trying!"
"Alright, I kind of like your attitude a bit more." Iughed. "Let''s go."
CREAAAAAK…!
The Gates opened the moment I agreed, as we entered the interior of the Tower of mes. The first thing we saw was a volcandscape, covered on flowingva everywhere and ck stone.
The tower didn''t had any sort of stairs, nor floors, it was just the tower alone. It seemed it was made to be andmark, but not to function as an actual tower. Though, perhaps, it holds a different purpose.
Suddenly, several words and messages made of mes emerged in front of us, exining to us the simple Trial. This inheritance was made before the Dream Element was discovered, so it makes sense it has no such things as Dream Dungeons.
FLAAASH!
[You have essed the [Trial of mes], the Inheritance of the [Savage Sun re Demon Venerable]!]
[Each tower possess a single trial, and they''re not really anyplex but a test of strength and heart.]<novelsnext></novelsnext>
[In front of you, there''s a Volcanic Landscape, however, in a few more seconds, powerful Monsters will emerge and flood the entire Tower.]
[Defeat all Monsters, who will emerge on 3 Waves, one after another, within 30 minutes, or you''re just not worth the Venerable''s time.]
[If they manage to escape the Tower from the Ceiling, you lose automatically.]
"Good luck! You''ll need it!" Laughed the Venerable, as the entire volcandscape started to tremble.
RUMBLE! TRUUUUMMMM…!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Alright! Looks like the trial is just the most brute-force thing ever." Laughed Bedann. "Let''s get this over with."
"I guess I shouldn''t had expected more from someone that prefers brawn over brains." Sighed Pekora.
"The mes are growing more and more intense though…!" Tisha smiled defiantly. "Interesting!"
"Theva''s bubbling!" Charlotte panicked, summoning her giant floating ship made out of her Magic Power and her Unique Skill. "L-Look out!"
SPLAAAAAAASSSHHH!!!
The giganticke made of bubbling, boilingva in front of us quickly sshed with creaturesing from within. All of them resembling insect-like critters. Giant red-colored Mantises, orange-colored beetles, flying zing mosquitoes, and more.
And they all exuded the power of Rank 8 Monsters in the Peak Stage Realm! They were no small fries at all. The auras they exuded together spread across the entirendscape inside of this tower, most of these beasts had gigantic ws and wings, capable of crawling and flying to the ceiling of the tower and make their way out easily.
Ding!
[The First Wave of Volcanic Monsters has emerged!]
[The [Aura of the Volcanic King] has been activated, all Monsters Stats have increased by +100%, their HP and MP Self-Regeneration Speed has been enhanced by +50%, and their Magic and Physical Attack Power has been boosted by a further +70%!]
[The [Aura of the Volcanic King] has generated a [Deadly zing Domain], all non-fire attribute beings that step in will receive constant damage to their Health, and their HP and MP Regeneration Speed will be halved!]
[The [Volcanic King] is slowly beginning to wake up from within the depths of this underground volcano… His Powers will only grow stronger the longer you take to kill these monsters.]
"Looks like the big boss''s sleeping down that underground volcano." Iughed. "We''ll have to hurry up if we don''t want to get fried alive. Aegir, bring us some support!" I said, holding her ring in myrge, dragon finger, her size could adjust based on my body size anyways.
"Fine!" She sighed, her Aura of Oceans surged from within, spreading around constantly, and forming gigantic spiraling and turbulent oceanic tornadoes. "How about this for start?! [Primordial Ocean Magic]: [Ancient Ocean''s Rage]!"
SPLAAAAAASSSSSHHHHH!!!
