Suddenly, Minos and Ruth awoke side by side in a completely different place than they had been monts before.
When they opened their eyes, they saw a majestic forest filled with powerful creatures. They could sense the auras of dragons, phoenixes, and various other special beings that one might encounter when traveling through so regions of the Continent of Beasts.
When they looked at each other as they stood up, they both had the sa expression.
"What is this? Where are we?" Ruth asked, not understanding what was happening.
Minos was silent for a mont but soon understood what it was as he felt a creature pass through his body.
"This is a mory... I think we're seeing things that level 100 dragon saw on his journey." Minos comnted in a low voice as he saw many creatures running on one side of the forest and smoke rising into the sky from a place a few hundred kiloters away.
Noticing this, he showed Ruth one of his hands and said. "Let's see. I think it has a purpose."
"Isn't it dangerous?" Ruth hesitated.
Even though she felt sothing pass through her body like Minos had just felt, she couldn't help but ignore the powerful ntal fluctuations she felt in her surroundings.
She couldn't tell if this was a dream, an illusion, or even a piece of reality. But all her senses were working at the mont, and she felt the heat of the area, the air winds, the sounds, and the sll of the surroundings.
Feeling the spiritual density of the area, as well as the spiritual fluctuations of the living organisms there, she couldn't help but hesitate.
Being sothing so real, were there really no dangers for them?
Minos said. "No. Rest assured. This is a mory. The dragon wants to show us sothing. We won't awaken until we reach our destination here."
So legacies had their dangers!
Once, Henricus Longus had t a level 99 Demigod who had left an heirloom before his death that held many opportunities for the one who found it. But among these opportunities, one would have to be wise and navigate the mories of this Demigod before his ti was up!
In this legacy Henricus Longus has known when he was a Sage, if you were to initiate such a heritage, you would be taken to an illusion that showed the mories of that expert. One would have to find sothing specific in that illusion, and until they did, they would stay in the illusion.
If you didn't find your goal, you would be trapped in that legacy for the rest of your life!
As a rule, experts were not generous beings who just left everything they had built to their heirs for no reason.
Those who left sothing behind really wanted to "live" on the strength of others, with their abilities showing up in the world even after they left. But they would not just hand over everything they had built to the first person who ca.
If you didn't have the least bit of ability, it would be dangerous for you to pass on an inheritance!
In the case of the Goddess of Life's legacy, if you were not strong enough, you would die in the first phase of it. In the case of the God of Death's inheritance, the darkness of that being would destroy soone without an affinity. On the other hand, for the Henricus Longus era expert, one would die within the inheritance if one were not good at deciphering what to do within such an illusion.
Few inheritances were like that of Henricus Longus, where one received all the prizes imdiately at the cost of one day's fulfillnt of a promise.
It was not a promise that could be easily broken. But even so, anyone who passed on such an inheritance would be given every opportunity at the outset and would have a chance to live before fulfilling their purpose.
Minos was no fool and knew there were no free lunches in the world. This dragon probably wanted to give them what he had after waiting so long for soone compatible. But he certainly wanted to show them sothing they would have to see for themselves.
If they hid, who knew if they would not experience the sa situation as so of those who tried to inherit that level 99 Demigod from the ti of Henricus Longus?
Minos then flew towards the ashes rising into the sky, taking Ruth with him at first, but soon managed to convince her to fly towards the fire.
After flying through the forest for so ti, they saw the number of powerful beings significantly increase as they approached the smoke.
Many beings of different races seed to follow the sa path, curious to see what was happening.
But several others were running in the opposite direction, with expressions of fear and concern.
Were they running away? Were they in a hurry to settle sothing?
Minos and Ruth didn't know, but they kept moving forward, noticing several bestial sounds of the creatures chattering around them.
Mighty beasts could speak the common language of the Spiritual World, spoken by humans and elves.
But in the Continent of Beasts, these creatures would rarely use that language to communicate since there were not many humans there.
To give you an idea, the human population of the entire Continent of Beasts, a continent more than half the size of the Central Continent, was not even half the population of Dry City.
Most of these people were just people working in the area on behalf of families, organizations, and groups from the other two continents. But many were also just tourists or people looking for opportunities.
As such, it would be challenging for soone like Minos and Ruth to hear comnts in their language, and the two naturally did not understand much of what the many creatures around them spoke.
But the language went far beyond words. One could understand another by their gestures, by their intentions.
Little by little, the two discovered the commotion about where the dragons' territory was supposed to be.
As they approached where the smoke began, they found a desolate area with several battle traces nearby.
In a large crater in the middle of the area, two massive bodies, one fallen and one standing, were covered in red flas, while many creatures of various races were surrounding them.
When Minos and Ruth stopped, looking at the two beasts, they saw a bloody scene as one dragon began to devour the other after the end of a battle.
At that mont, a voice arose in their minds. 'On that day, I saw my father being devoured by an enemy.
I was only a level 89 sage at the ti, so there was nothing I could do to stop that creature from devouring my old man's entire body.
But that day led to my destiny, which I share with you, young level 83 Sage.'
