A cold, icy wind hit the sky covered by black clouds, the sun"s rays barely illuminating the dead and silent environment, the place seemed to be a no-man"s land, a gray and lifeless color, the place known as the Silent Tomb, the Gray Mountain Chains.A ball of light s.h.i.+nes and a person is thrown from inside it forcefully, and ends up beating the ground violently, causing the person to spit some blood. The person was a young man who appeared to be about 15 -17 years old, lean body, short hair, ordinary face, this young man was Liu Yang who had activated the transport charm before.
"f.u.c.k! Xillia, why did not you warn him that the fall would be like this? Almost broke some bone".
"You deserved it, did not expect me to finish explaining about the Random Point Charm. Next time, ask if there is any more information before taking action. Remember hurry is the enemy of perfection."
"Let"s put this aside, you know we are? I just pointed north and activated the charm"
Moments of waiting.
"By the silence, these great gray mountains behind us, I think we are in the Gray Mountain Chains, better known as the Silent Tomb. By the name you have already understood why."
"Is it dangerous around here? Why do not I see any creatures nearby or some sound they make?"
"Are you an idiot or something? By name you can know that the place is extremely dangerous, here you can die without knowing or making a single sound".
"I"m not stupid up to that point, of course I understood the mortality of this place, but what I want to know: "Is that what kills here? Wild beasts or something beyond that? "
"There are some kinds of beasts around here, but most of the deaths come from another factor, nature, technically speaking it would be thunderstorms, lightning and lightning storms that often happen in the region. I do not know if you know, but that gray color that paints the entire huge mountain range there is something that attracts this. The amount of years and lives lost to explore this location has been lost, but it has not yet been possible to create a whole map of these mountains."
"But why the nickname Silent Tomb? Is it because people die from the rays they are attracted to while sleeping?"
Liu Yang said this as a joke, but from the silence of Xillia Wolf, he confirmed one thing.
"It seems that the rays can cross the interior of the mountain, that energy must go somewhere underneath it, maybe someday I"ll try to explore that place."
It was the thought that Liu Yang had.
"Let"s set this aside and find a place to rest and try to remove this insect from Saya."
"I used a time-reduction spell, a year out here equals one day inside the bottle, that"s the most I can do. As a demonic beast, my powers are physical fighting and melee combat."
"I thank you for the help, even if you have reduced your pain a little, your tortured soul is a terrifying thing. Help me find some safe place, where at least there"s no demonic beast."
"If you want to find a safe spot, you"d better go, because when it"s raining and you"re still walking, it"s good to pray it does not have too many thunder and lightning. But as I am your teacher, I should at least help you with that, since it is beyond your limits."
"Are you saying I"m too weak? I know that, but in the Sea of Endless Forests I could not train much because there were not many creatures there to kill."
"Think about getting stronger later, start running in that direction, there"s going to be a small cave, it"s safe and I can close the entrance."
Running toward Xillia Wolf pointed, Liu Yang began to run, suddenly the sky began to thunder and rain, it was not long before the rain became heavy.
Entering the cave, Xillia Wolf uses a land-control spell called "Earth Manipulation" to close the entrance and erase traces of magic and anything else, leaving the natural spot. Illuminating with a Crystal of Light and making a bed of stone. But before Liu Yang could take Saya"s body away, Xillia Wolf stopped him.
"Do you think you can remove the insect from her body with its low level of power?"
Xillia Wolf asks LIu Yang in a solemn voice.
"Of course I can, but it will take a long time ... Since I am very weak now."
Liu Yang clenched his fists as he realized how weak he was.
"There is a way to speed up the process, but it will depend on your willpower."
"What do I have to do?"
Seeing that Liu Yang did not ask what it would be, but rather what should be done. Xillia Wolf was happy with the answer.
"What"s your current level?"
"20"
"You"re lucky and at the same time unlucky. Because you should have used the amulet to go to a city with a Cave of Self-Discovery, this place is where normal people take the first step towards becoming a warrior, as the name says, the person makes a judgment for discover its interior and awaken its cla.s.s. But there are also other ways of awakening a cla.s.s, which is by means of a "portable trial," in other words, it is a scrolls containing the same effects as a Cave of Self-Discovery, but there is a difference between the two, in the cave the person finds the best cla.s.s adept to him; but the scroll, there is a ready cla.s.s inscribed on it. These scrolls are created by great masters who have reached the peak of the world, containing their skills and experiences."
"For what you"re saying, it"s possible you have a scroll, right?"
"Right."
"But what"s the good news and the bad news?"
"The good news is that the parchment I have is perfect for humans, but the bad news is that the requirement to learn it is level 10 and maximum 20."
"I"m still at level 20, I am within the conditions, so why the bad news?"
"It"s bad because the higher the level at the time of making the judgment, the greater the difficulty. In addition, judgment will be a mental challenge, not a physical. And this Scroll, the cla.s.s contained in it is special, it is necessary to have a physical and mental judgment. If you were in level 10, the difficulty would be lower, but since you are at the level limit, the trial will be at another level."
"I understand ... But is it normal to have level restraints on these scrolls or the cave?"
"If it is in the cave, there is no restriction, as for the scrolls, the most common ones usually have no restriction, but if the cla.s.s is rare, there is always some kind of restriction, it can vary depending on the creator. The scroll I possess, the creator is a human, but there is no restriction of race, only the level restriction. I"ll give you a few moments to think about it. You can accept or decline."
"I accept, no need to think. When can we start?"
Looking at Liu Yang"s serious and resolute gaze, Xillia Wolf was astounded, but at the same time worried. But seeing that he has already made the decision, she took out a scroll from her s.p.a.ce ring sends out of Liu Yang"s body.
Looking at the huge scroll that suddenly appeared in the air, Liu Yang picks up both arms. As Xillia Wolf"s voice echoed in his head.
"I found this scroll almost three hundred years ago while I was traveling through the Nine Worlds. Calm your mind, close your eyes, concentrate and put some of your power into the scroll."
"OK"
Following Xillia Wolf"s instructions, Liu Yang lay down on the stone bed while holding the giant scroll on his chest. Moments after he injected power into the scroll, the scroll begins to glow and the writings begin to encircle Liu Yang"s body.
A ball of light leaves the body of Liu Yang and takes the form of a beautiful woman who was wearing a pure white dress, which highlighted her s.e.xy body and silver hair. Looking at this scene Xillia Wolf shakes hands and a protective ball covers Liu Yang"s body, this ability was the inverse she used in Saya, this ability accelerated time, that is, one day in the real world, equals one year inside the bubble. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, Xillia Wolf takes out a small item and throws it to the ground, a transparent ball begins to cover the place, using the ability "Earth Manipulation", Xillia Wolf causes the place to become a sphere, where the barrier can cover everything. The item that Xillia Wolf took off is a protective barrier that prevents internal energy from leaking out. Taking one last look at Liu Yang, Xillia Wolf that had left the body of Liu Yang, she begins to meditate.
While in Liu Yang"s mind, what he sees is a totally dark place before a strong light shows up and everything becomes clear.
Liu Yang stands in front of a huge hall, there were countless stone pillars stretching up to the sky, rows of stone soldiers, at the end of the hall was a huge throne with a man sitting with his eyes closed, even being away from the person, Liu Yang could still feel the pressure coming out of that body, behind the throne was a picture of a sword piercing a book. Realizing that someone had entered, the man begins to open his eyes slowly. Looking directly at Liu Yang, the man says the following words.
"Welcome to my trial, young hero."
