Chapter 1247 - First Stage (2/2)
Moon princess, please don’t ever forget about your original intention…
Something is wrong.
Erin strode forward and took another step down the stairs. At the same time, she slashed an arc of the moon with her blade and the surrounding shadowy creatures that pounced on her screeched, before vanishing to nowhere. However, Erin didn’t reveal any joy or satisfaction on her face. On the contrary, she put up a grim look. It was apparent that she also realized that something wasn’t right. This was the first trial. But based on the current situation, the shadowy creatures didn’t threaten her at all, albeit their high numbers being somewhat annoying.
This is my first test, so what exactly am I going to encounter?
At this thought, Erin’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be…
“The ability to control matters of darkness is the first hurdle Erin has to overcome.”
Rhode explained confidently to the rest.
“Don’t forget. This trial is ultimately for one to inherit the Dark Dragon’s soul, while the rule of darkness on Dragon Soul Continent is unsurpassed. The source of power of Shadow Ravine comes from darkness itself, so as a dragon soul heir, one must master the power of darkness, and there are no two ways about it. The shadowy creatures indeed don’t cause any harm to Erin, but why must she wipe them out? They are inhabitants of darkness who are born and destroyed in darkness. If the dragon soul heir can’t control the creatures that are created with the Dark Dragon’s power, how can the heir even control the power of darkness?”
“Wow, I didn’t realize that!”
Angelina nodded with might. She was a noble vampire in the Country of Darkness, so she naturally understood what Rhode meant. But shortly after, Angelina knitted her brows and asked worriedly.
“But… Her Highness Erin should be fine, right?”
“I think…”
Rhode said, turning to the scenery in the magical crystal and the corners of his mouth lifted.
“… She will be fine.”
“Aowu…!”
Along with a mournful wail, all sorts of distorted and strange creatures emerged from the shadows of darkness. They twisted their bloated bodies and revealed razor-sharp claws at the young lady before them. In a few seconds, they would pounce on her and shred their prey into bits.
But this time, Erin didn’t raise her sword. She stood silently on the spot, extended her right arm, and observed the creatures.
“Stay back.”
The young lady’s melodious voice resounded in the gloomy corridor. Her voice was so soft, gentle, and plain as though she were narrating a story. But all of a sudden, the snarls and growls softened gradually. The shadowy creatures curled up their bodies and stared blankly at the young lady. For some unknown reason, they felt a mighty power forcing them back, extinguishing their burning instinct and desire to devour their prey and making them obey the command docilely.
“…”
In a string of deep growls that diminished gradually, the shadowy creatures vanished into the shadows. Up until that moment, the gloomy corridor lit up suddenly. The endless flight of steps went missing in sight, only to be replaced by a heavy, exquisite wooden door.
Upon witnessing the wooden door, Erin revealed a smile.
Seems like I succeeded.
