Chapter 277: The Final Inheritances (1/2)
That night, at the entrance of the tower, Arthur looked at the hordes of beasts as if he was dreaming. He has avoided these beasts like plague, when he noticed their habitats. But now, they came searching for him.
The beasts got their cubs, but they are still angry, how dare a human can do such a thing as stealing their cubs.
They started charging towards the tower, some beasts attacked with the elemental powers and some beasts just rammed into the walls. But as Murali promised the beasts are not able to deal with the walls and enter the tower ignoring the defence.
Even the attacks aren't penetrating.
But there is no harm for them either. They tried a few times and then just waited there. Even the beasts of different species didn't show any hostility towards each other. This, time they are quite united and whole-heartedly treated these people are their enemies.
Arthur and the rest are at a loss of words, they don't know how to deal with the situation. They didn���t dare to fight them. Sneaking past, them? It is almost impossible with these many beasts.
So, all they could do is hole up right there waiting for the time of exit.
At that moment, a scroll came flying into the tower through the entrance, Arthur picked up the scroll and the strings of letters, made his grit his teeth in anger.
”Since, you wanted beasts' remains that badly, I guessed that you would like the beasts even more, so I took it up on myself to invite them here. You don't have to thank me. – Sam.”
He immediately understood how they are struck in this scenario. This is Sam's payback. He was even thinking that Sam didn't pursue for some other reasons, rather he is using the most frustrating way to take the revenge that too in a grand scale.
They are now planning to deal with the rest of Level-4 beasts and try their luck at the Level-5 beasts at the territories. But they don't know that Sam not only dealt with all the beasts, he even stopped them at their door step so that wouldn't find any stray that was left by any possible mistake.
Sam is completely unbothered by this, if not for the fact that killing these people would bring him some extra trouble in his next plans and hinder him extremely, he would have dealt with directly and in that tower it is impossible to kill them.
He is having a hard time to control and suppress the killing intent. He is even thinking of using the hidden means without leaving any evidence, but he might find a way for Arthur to be useful for him in his future preparations as he is heir of the thunder god temple, these are the only reasons that are letting him breathe peacefully.
Living in fear is one of the worst possible ways of life.
Sam went on dealt with the remaining treasures in the habitats. After that he started sorting out all the treasures he obtained. There are more than one hundred and fifty rewards he got from this island and among them seventy are weapons of various attributes. Ten of them are formation discs, twenty are various types of formation designs. Ten skill books for some weapon techniques, thirty consumable inscription scrolls of various types and the rest are inscription design scrolls.
His teammates took whatever weapons they wanted and shared it among themselves, they took some inscription scrolls and even some formation discs, Sam decided to sell half of the remaining with a label of the things from the inheritance of Murali and the remaining half of them will be in his possession to be used as extras.
As for the remaining inscriptions and the formations, they can be used for further research.
Soon, the day of the final inheritance arrived.
Seven days before the period of two months, the four main candidates disappeared from the towers.
Sam, Arthur, Andrew and the leader of the northern Arian all disappeared from their respective places and appeared in front of each other in a room, It is a vast hall which has four doors on four sides leading them to different rooms.
Soon, a projection of Murali appeared in the middle of the hall and started saying these words.
”Welcome candidates. I hope you all have increased your strength and combat power in the past duration you have spent on the island.
Right now, you are only a week away from gaining the inheritance I have left for you.
As you might have already known, I, Murali am famous for my expertise in four fields.
Swordsmanship. Painting. Inscriptions and the formations.
I must say that I am really proud of the heights I achieved. Before leaving this world, I wanted to share my knowledge to the younger generations of this world as my sign of gratitude for the all the resources and the experience this world has provided me.
So, that is the reason, with the help some friends I created this island and the four towers. The four towers are keys to activate all that this island has to offer.
Now, you are in a place which leads you to the four inheritances I have left you. You have a chance to obtain, all four of them or any one of them. That solely depends on your efforts, will, strength and desire.
