Chapter 107 Inheritance Scroll

In a dim place that was in a separate small dimension of the Underground Temple. A white light flashed, illuminating the area for a second before vanishing, four human silhouettes appeared in the place where the white light came from.

After Sofia tapped the palm print, Fein and the others only flashed on their eyes, and after opening them, now they are here, a somewhat dim silent place, where there's no slightest sound.

Fein scanned the surroundings for a moment. He saw that there was only one passage in front of them.

"Starting here, we must double our vigilance. Voli, we will be the one to lead this time."

After saying this, his voice echoed in the surroundings, in this place that was devoid of presence, this echo would make anyone nervous.

Just like that, the four of them continued to walk. Fein has entered his "Chess Perception" while sitting on top of Voli ready to tackle any change that might occur.

As they continue walking, they entered the passageway, the smell of rotten flesh lingers in the air with the combination of slimy green liquid that was constantly juggling on the walls of the passageway made the four of them feel disgusted.

Sofia activated his storage space, two face masks appeared, he gave one to Fein who quickly put it on his face.

"Sorry, I don't have facemasks for animals." Sofia's face reddened with embarrassment after seeing Aoi and Voli looking at her expectantly.

These are the ones her father has prepared for her. Facemask is a must for explorers in the secret realm. After all, there are various poisonous smoke and dangerous substance in the air that the human body can't tolerate. The earlier explorations had already taught the humans a lesson, as two groups of elites died to a monster who can release scent on its body that can control sentient beings. That monster made the human group kill each other against their will.

Fein looked at Voli and Fein that are unwilling to enter the passageway.

"Hey come on, don't worry we will move fast from here"

Aoi and Voli finally step foot into the passageway with great reluctance, their face contorted due to the horrible smell that was wafting to their nose.

"Good, let's go" Fein also knew that they have to be fast. The smell in the passageway was really unbearable, even with his facemask, he can still smell it slightly due to his enhanced smell.

He can imagine what Voli and Aoi are undergoing now due to the fact that their sense of smell was stronger than humans.

Sofia nodded, she doesn't want Aoi to suffer.

The four of them ran, with their speed, they manage to travel the passageway quickly and they finally saw the end and the reason for the disgusting smell.

After exing the passage, what appeared in front of their eyes is a mountain of corpses.

Human bones, beast carcasses, and other internal organs were piled up like a mountain.

Fein's eyes widen at the domineering sight in front of him.

'Fuck! What happened here?'

Now, he was more wary, after all, having a mountain of corpses means that the mortality rate in this area is...

Fein's thought was interrupted, as he saw that at the top of the mountain of corpses, there was a big scroll shining in red light.

"It seems we are finally at the end of the temple, that scroll should be the inheritance," Sofia muttered subconsciously.

"Yeah, I have already read it in books from your library. This scroll is called space scroll or inheritance scroll am I right?" Fein scratches his chin seeing that they have to step on the corpses to get the scroll.

He touched the hilt of his blade while moving forward.

"Yes, usually this is the means of ancients to preserve their inheritance to their future successors. Even now, some kingdoms still used this method."

"Well, I would go alone, you three would guard me if something happens, I don't know if there are any conditions to get this scroll," Fein said as he knew that things like this aren't that simple on the surface.

"Rest assured you can leave your back to us," Sofia said with a smile.

Voli puffed up his chest while putting on a fierce expression, while also making a face as if telling him that he shouldn't worry.

Aoi on the rest didn't follow Voli's antic, she just quietly condense Ice Lance signifying she was reliable using her actions.

Fein nodded with a gratified smile because he has reliable friends that he could leave his back with. Now, he miss his two friends in the Ranger's Eye. He was regretful that he didn't have an extra ticket on him. Those two are also powerful enough to provide him with strong support. But he knew that they also have their tasks in the organization that they needed to attend to.

"Okay, I'll go now." Fein walks step by step towards the mountain.

As he got closer, he saw bones in the lower part of the mountain, he estimated that these bones have been here for at least thousands of years already. It means that they are the bones of strong creatures as they still didn't have signs of deteriorating.

As he climb the mountain, he stepped on an intact corpse of what seemed to be an orc. It has two heads and four lifeless eyes. Different kinds of beasts and supernatural species can be seen as he continues to climb, he rarely saw a human corpse though.

'Did they fail the trials or something? Or did they not meet the conditions of the scroll and died as a consequence? Damn, I'm getting nervous with this shit... What do they need to pile up the corpses here? For intimidation purposes? If so, then it is effective!' Fein's thought process is in chaos as he continued making his way up cautiously.

Finally, after struggling to climb the 621-meter high corpse mountain, he glanced at the scroll that was wrapped in a red light that was rotating at 180 degrees of angle.

'This is it!' Fein looked at the scroll with yearning.

The inheritance scroll of Ancient Civilization is a big deal! Even the great kingdoms and high-ranking demon kings would fight for the scroll.

After all, the content of the scroll contains the greatest item and property of an entire Civilization that has existed since the ancient times or primordial era!
