Blood Evolution System

Vincent led them to the heart of the room of darkness. As they reached closer to it, a distortion of space occurred. A gap opened in front of them, and it grew bigger and bigger until it was big enough for them to pass through it.

After passing through it, they arrived at an unfamiliar place. It was completely dark, and they couldn\'t see anything around them. They took out their weapons, ready to reply to any sudden attack. While doing that, one of them asked Vincent whether or not there is an enemy in their vicinity. Vincent used the heirloom\'s energy-sense spell matrix to instantly get a better view of his surroundings, and seeing that there was no one except for his teammates in this place, he assured them by saying that there is no enemy in his sight.

"Let\'s get a move on. Maybe we will come across something like a clue or a path that leads to the next inheritance trial." Vincent said to them.

"Alright," they nodded their heads, agreeing with his words.

"Buddy, how did you even know about those creatures? And why were you so sure that they won\'t attack us?" After a moment, Nevis asked to satisfy his curiosity.

"I have been visiting the library of the military academy quite often. You know, there are many books on monsters in that place. I read a bunch and came across them in one of them." Vincent said in a calm voice, lying through his teeth.

It\'s not like he could tell them about his heirloom and the spell matrix that allows him to appraise not only items but also people who are in the range of his vision. Why? His heirloom was undoubtedly a treasured item that others would covert once they come to know about it. Even if his teammates were to have no ill intentions, there\'s no guarantee that they won\'t incidentally leak it to other people who are bound to show greed and aim for his life to get the heirloom of his family.

That\'s why he hasn\'t told anyone about it in the past, and he also has no intention of telling anyone about it in the present and the future.

If possible, Vincent wanted to take this secret to his grave.

They moved ahead for a while and all of a sudden, glowing blobs of emerald lights manifested around them, vanquishing the darkness around them. They finally were able to make out their surroundings. It was a grand hall as big as a football field and there were entrances to it. They found themselves standing in the middle of this place.

"Congratulations for reaching the second last inheritance ground!" Purple Fairy Melody suddenly appeared above their heads and said those words loudly, and she continued to say, "You\'ve passed through a lot of hurdles to reach here, and now you only need to pass two more trials to take whatever you like from the castle Treasure Hall. Right now, I am about to begin the second last trial. Are you ready to hear the details of it, or would you like to rest first?"

The Fairy wasn\'t acting merciless and cruel this time around and even gave them a chance to relax and rest. Undoubtedly, they were tired and wanted to rest. So, they told her that they wanted to challenge the trial after resting for some hours.

"Well then, I will return after five hours. I hope all of you\'re ready by then. The next trial is going to be the hardest one you will face in this place." She said to them with a mysterious smile gracing the corners of her lips, and then before they could even say a word, she vanished from their sights in a puff of smoke.

"Let\'s recover our magic power and stamina and relief ourselves from fatigue," Vincent said.

He and the others sat down on the ground and pulled out a few stones with magic power inside of them. They were low on energy and needed to restore it.

Normally, a person, who can absorb energy into their bodies, breathes the magic power present in nature into their heart to restore magic power. It\'s known to be the universal and the most simplest method, but there has to be magic energy present in order for this method to work.

However, in this place, magic power wasn\'t present in nature. They needed to extract the energy inside the rocks to restore it.

Some hours later, once Vincent was done converting all his magic power into mana and the others had rested well enough to restore their stamina, Iris hurried to hand over a few important things to her teammates.

"These are magic power elixirs and mana pills. Once you consume the first one, you will restore ten units of magic power every few seconds for five minutes. It can be used three times a day. Anymore more than that, and there is a high chance to face a backlash. The second one instantly pours fifty units of mana into one\'s heart. As you might have not already heard about it, mana is a purified version of magic power and is ten times stronger. You can use it to activate powerful abilities but there\'s a backlash of doing that. So only use them when we are in dire need of help." Iris explained to them.

The strength of a person\'s supernatural cells is determined by the parents they are born to or the evolution materials they eat to possess them. Channeling mana into weak supernatural cells means overloading them, and this leads to the manifestation of an overwhelming and powerful attack in the world, but also the disintegration of one\'s cell. Once a certain number of supernatural cells vaporize, a person loses their ability!

They can regain it, however, by consuming the evolution materials.

"We understand."

They accepted it from her and stored them in their spatial devices. If they face a deadly situation, then using this method to fend it off was far better than facing their end at the hands of monsters.

Right when five hours went by, the fairy appeared in the wide hall once again, and this time she didn\'t waste any time in order to immediately start the trial. "In this trial, you will be facing waves after waves of monsters! The ones that only the wise and the strong can defeat. Without knowledge, facing them is bound to be your doom. You need to hang on for twelve hours or defeat all of them to conquer this trial. Well, enough said. The trial starts now!"

An instant after said those words, four portals opened up in the entrances to this place, and monsters seeped out of all of these portals.

GROWWR

GROWWR

GROWWR

They roared at the top of their lungs, intending to intimidate them before the fight, and then scampered towards them as fast as their limbs could take them. They moved on all four and looked pretty scary. They have the head of a spider, arms of a gorilla, and the legs of a horse. Except for that, their bodies seemed to be glimmering in some kind of crimson radiance.

With a single look, Vincent came to know about their strength and weaknesses. These monsters happened to be in the seventh to the tenth level of the magical realm, but the worst part was that these monsters had an unbelievably powerful magic technique.

"Guys, these monsters become a level stronger every five minutes. We will lose if we hold back. So, go full out! Do whatever it takes to kill them within five minutes of engaging them in a battle." Vincent explained to them.

The eyes of his teammates opened wide as they felt surprised to see that he even knows about them. The extent of his knowledge has even caught King Wrath off guard. He has traveled to a lot of worlds and even explored them, and knew that the monsters in this castle were one of a kind, not found even in the world of Lorena. There\'s no way the military academy would know about them, but whatsoever.

Varth shrugged his shoulders, kicking unimportant matters to the back of his head in order to focus more on taking down the deadly beasts in front of them.

"Time to go full out!" Nevis exclaimed in happiness as he summoned the wood seal and poured all of his magic power into it. Then, spikes of woods manifested a few inches below the ceiling and dropped to the floor.

Kuh!

Kuh!

Kuh!

The spikes impaled the monster scampering on the floor of the wide hall and nailed them into it, killing them painfully and slowly. Nevis realized that using supernatural power is the best thing in the world!

The monster, on the other hand, turned to move to the sides of the spikes, dodging the bodies of their fallen comrades, before charging straight to them.

However, they didn\'t meet a good sight and what they saw horrified them to the very core of their beings.

Ice shards, crimson lances, magical bullets, glinting dagger, and fire magic scrolls cut through the air and rained down on them.

BANG

Bam!

BOOM

Boom!
