Lith was flying across a valley and was currently in an inheritance trial. It has been half an hour since the trial had started and he had come across only one beast until now. His main goal was to eliminate the participants who were taking this trial and if there was time, he would think about taking the inheritance from this place.
Flying for a few more minutes, Lith saw a tombstone placed in the middle of a well pruned area. Lith flew down towards the tombstone and stood in front of it.
Kuhaku Kolkos
Died on 23rd Hyesk 662.
A loving husband, father and brother.
A sincere devotee.
A caring friend.
A painter.
Rest in peace.
Looking at the words on the tombstone, Lith was surprised to find that it was written in one of the official languages of the world he was in. He could read and understand it easily.
‘So, this is a normal person’s tomb? If that’s the case, why is it maintained so well though?’ Lith thought to himself as he read the contents on the tombstone.
Lith walked around the tombstone to see if there’s anything he could find. This place was suspicious and there was sure to be something that he may find here. After a minute of looking around and searching, Lith found nothing.
‘Alright, nevermind. I’ve got important things to do. I won’t invest my time here for stupidly long, I’ve got things to do. Maybe I’ll come here later to see if there’s anything but definitely not now.’
Lith extended his wings out and flew away after he failed to find anything within a minute. His guess was that this place would be filled with such tombstones since an entire race was probably buried here. He couldn’t check each and every tombstone, it was not a viable option. It would just waste his time.
His observation skills were top notch and if he didn’t find anything noticeable within a minute, chances were, there probably would not be anything available there.
Lith knew that this dimension did not have anything that would exceed prowess of a Rank 5. Be it beasts, treasures or disasters. He was a Rank 2 but his prowess were equivalent to an average Rank 6. His observation skills could easily rival an elite Rank 5 and Lith was aware of it.
So if he found nothing within a minute, there was sure to be nothing.
Lith continued to fly forwards. He crossed many lush green mountains, a small river and was now once again flying over a valley. He was observing everything around him as he flew and searched for clues that may lead him to the four students.
Lith inspected the trees and the soil and found that the battle had taken place just an hour or two ago. This meant that the student was close and definitely not out of reach. He then searched for more clues around and followed those to search for the student.
Lith passed through a flower field, a small pond and then flew over a molehill. He was now flying over a forest region.
swish!
Lith heard a faint sound of air piercing as he flew above the forest. He quickly flew towards the source of the sound and came in front of a cave. The sound was coming from the cave and to know more about it, he flew inside.
As he entered the cave, a faint sound was heard by him. It felt as if someone was doing a battle somewhere. Lith followed the noise and passed through many tunnels and forks. He had a superior hearing ability and therefore didn’t get lost in the many forks that he came across.
Swish!
The sound of air piercing was getting louder as Lith flew deeper inside the cave.
BAM!
Lith heard a loud noise just as he was about to enter another tunnel. From the noise he felt that someone got slammed on a wall. Knowing that he was very close, he flew even faster than before. Of course, he had his guard up despite his speed.
After passing through the tunnel, Lith arrived in a big spacious place. This place was roughly 500 meters in height and width; he could not see the end of the space and thus couldn’t say about its length.
It had water running and everywhere, be it on the ceiling, walls, or the ground, there were some sort of colorful stones inlaid that were shining brightly. These stones made this space light up in bright colors.
In this big space, there was a lobster, around 20 meter in height and it was thrashing a teen. The teen was in the academy uniform and had two horns protruding from his forehead and had a lizard-like tail. He seemed like someone from the dragon race. His clothes were torn apart and his body was covered with fresh blood oozing out of his wounds. He seemed to be in a pretty bad situation.
From the looks of it, the lobster was probably a Tier 4 or 5 monster and the teen, well, he would be Rank 2, there was no need to guess anything about it.
Lith took out his spear from his ring and willed the Fire elements around him and had violent flames spread around the spear. He then aimed it at the lobster and threw the spear right at it.
Fuuuusssshhhhh
CRACK!
BOOM!
The spear pierced the air and made its way to the lobster’s head. The spear then tore through its head causing a loud crack to be heard and then through its entire length and drilled a hole in the lobster’s body.
When the spear stopped as it hit the ground, an explosion occurred and the lobster, which was just a few inches above the spear, disintegrated into pieces as it got enveloped into the explosion.
The dragon teen was thrown at a distance by the lobster before it got hit by a spear and was thus away from the explosion. Had he been near it, he would’ve died along with the lobster too. But of course, Lith wouldn’t have done such a thing if he was near.
Lith flew towards the teen who was only half conscious. He took his identity badge out and imbued his spiritual power into it and wiped the teen’s spiritual power off.
Space fluctuated and soon the teen vanished from his spot after getting sucked into a vortex.
One down, three more to go.
Lith made a note. He flew along the flowing water and made his way to meet the next participant.
