Fein calmed down his excitement, as he prepared himself for the upcoming challenge that would be triggered once he touch the Inheritance Scroll in front of him.
Without hesitation, he reach his hand towards the scroll that was floating. As if sensing his intention, the scroll reacted as it floated towards his hand.
He grabbed the Inheritance Scroll in his hand quickly and the scroll disappeared after.
He decided to store it in his storage space as it was safer there. Fein looked at the surrounding vigilantly while running downwards to their previous place.
'Hmm, why is that that there's still not a reaction yet? That's it? Am I just thinking too much? No trial, no traps or anything?' Fein scanned the surroundings with suspicion.
This is not right, it was too calm.
Sofia who was guarding the vicinity finally saw Fein who was running towards them.
"How is it?" Fein asked as he arrived in front of them.
Sofia raised her eyebrows at him. "Nothing, have you succeeded?"
Fein nodded, "it's already in my storage space, we will talk later outside, let's go, I don't feel safe here"
Just like that, Sofia and Fein hopped on the back of Voli.
Seeing Aoi's pitiful face, Voli scratched his head. Suddenly his eyes brightened, and his body grew into a behemoth instantly.
Now he was big as a mountain.
*Ding!*
"Fuck!" Fein who was in his deep thought spat out in surprise.
He looked at the system notification in front of him.
[Size Altercation- The user can manipulate his body and change his size. He can become as big as a mountain and a small puppy. The stronger the user the stronger the effect.]
'So this is the size altercation that was added on his ability earlier?' Fein recalled that Voli doesn't have this ability when they first met.
Only after staying in the Secret Realm, did a lot of changes happen to Voli. Like how his height kept growing daily. It only stopped when they were in the Desert.
'I thought his exaggerated growth has already stopped, but it was this ability why Voli can maintain his normal height?'
Fein decided to think about the matter later and leave this place first.
? After seeing that his body grew, Voli nodded at himself, he was satisfied with this new ability of his. He was quite envious of the giant monster on the Secret Realm, he felt down after realizing that he was the only small one, he was envious of them. As a Legendary Beast, how could he accept that!?
Aoi's eyes widen at Voli's exaggerated transformation, it quickly flew behind him, and landed on his back after seeing that she can finally carry her.
Seeing that his three friends are already onboard. Lightning emerged spreading on his feet.
Voli vanished, three on his back held tightly on Voli's back to stabilize their position from the strong wind resistance.
"It seems it will be smoother than I thought" Fein turned his head to Sofia and shouted.
As Sofia was about to respond, the whole temple shook intensely.
Suddenly thousands of gray creatures appeared surrounding them. Using his enhanced vision, he saw their ghastly appearance, they have pale skin which was hairless and scaly. There is blood flowing from their eyes. And sharp black claws that seemed to be their weapon. Overall, they are fucking eerie and bizarre!
"Or not? Damn, I accidentally raised a flag!" Fein jumped on the back of Voli along with Sofia.
Sofia sneered at him. "Do you have to jinx it? And what flag are you talking about? These monsters are called Ghouls if I'm right."
"Really? It's different than I thought... Where's their kagune?" Fein threw his metal balls in different directions while he jokingly said.
Seeing the dense number of the ghouls Fein has a complicated expression on his face, as this fuckers would have provided him exp, but now that his system was in the process of promotion, this bunch of exps would be wasted.
'Well, it doesn't matter, at least these ghouls should provide me a quiet amount of souls for my Abyssal Blade' Fein comforted himself after thinking of this.
The four of them quickly entered a state of battle. Sofia condenses a blood scythe that was darker than before. Voli on the other hand charged at the swarm with his huge body, every step of his was producing a tremor.
"His strength was already on par with S class with his giant body" Fein was aware that with the increase of body size, the strength will follow, although the speed would be significantly reduced.
Fein used his flashing dash appearing on the top of Ghouls slashing horizontally. Every one of his slashes manages to reap hundreds of ghouls. Sometimes white light would flash reaping their bodies to half.
A black claw appeared on his side forcing him to evade, the ghouls have at least thousands of them with B strength so Fein still has to be cautious. Unexpectedly black claw with dark mist appeared, Fein who was in his "Chess Perception" felt the danger, he side step like a phantom intending to dodge, as the black claw became closer, it suddenly disappeared, it teleported in front of his face.
*Argh!*
Blood trickled on his cheeks, his face has five deep cuts that have black mist on them preventing them from healing. What he saw in front of him was a black-skinned ghoul that was different from the rest. White light flashed instantly in the direction of the black ghoul but the ghoul disappeared abruptly. Fein slashed only formed a rift on the ground.
'That was underhanded, what kind of teleporting attack is that!?' Fein complained as he fought back at the ghouls that were trying to overwhelm him with numbers. Whilst also guarding against the weird black ghoul that was lurking in the dark.
There was a saying that a thousand ants can bring an elephant down. One mistake in his movement, he would be buried by the swarm of ghouls. Just like that, the four of them are occupied with their own battle.
