Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 222 The Inheritance

Lith made his way forwards to clearing the maze. All he did was cast Short Jump and teleport forwards. It was simple and effective and he reached the end of the maze in no time.

“We knew you would make it till here, Fated One. The legacy of thousands shall now be yours to take.”

Lith heard the voice again.

What c.r.a.p was this? The inheritance was this easy to take? There were no challenges, no threats, nothing at all. Why was this so easy to clear? Lith wondered as he walked towards a long staircase.

He reached the end of it after a few minutes and in front of him lay a podium. On this podium was a sword embedded inside it. Only the silver hilt of the sword was visible.

Lith walked close to it and tried to pull the sword out. The sword slowly got out of the podium and as it did so, everything around Lith started shaking.

A silver brilliance was getting emitted as Lith pulled the sword out and the more it was out of the podium, the more intense was the shaking of the entire inheritance ground.

After the sword was pulled out halfway, it was starting to become a bit difficult to pull out. It seems as if the sword was resisting.

Lith, looking at the resistance, decided to use all his strength and pull the sword out. The muscles and veins on his arms bulged slightly as readied himself to pull the sword out.

3… 2…

Lith started a countdown in his mind and braced himself to pull the sword out with all his strength.

Now!

BOOM!

…..

In front of a temple in ruins.

Outside the inheritance trial, Emilia was standing and looking at the entrance. She was waiting for Lith to come out of the inheritance trial. He was the only partic.i.p.ant present in this dimension.

A few minutes ago, Emilia got news that all partic.i.p.ants were eliminated and only Lith was remaining in the dimension. She thought he would be out of the inheritance trial now that everything was over but he hadn’t come out yet.

She guessed his delay to be connected to the trial. He must be partic.i.p.ating in it and thus was late. She kept waiting patiently for him once again.

Rumble! Rumble!

Emilia saw the temple in ruins in front of her shaking and heard a rumbling noise.

‘Hmm? Did he by any chance…’

BOOM!

An explosion occurred in front of Emilia and the temple collapsed, causing a lot of smoke to arise. Out of this smoke shot towards the sky a silver radiance with a fast speed.

Emilia looked closely at the radiance and to her surprise, found Lith holding the hilt of a silver sword with both his hands and trying to stop the sword from flying away.

Emilia extended a pair of white wings from her back and quickly flew towards Lith to stop the sword. Within a second, she got close to him.

She grabbed Lith by the waist with one hand and the sword with another. The sword struggled violently to fly away but no matter how much it shook, it wasn’t able to fly away from Emilia’s grip.

Lith looked at this scene with surprise. He had no idea that the sword would do such a thing. It resisted getting pulled out at the start but then it let go of the resistance all of a sudden and when fully out, shot up towards the sky in hopes of escaping.

Why was it trying to escape? Wasn’t it an inheritance for him? Shouldn’t it belong to him when he took it out? A lot of questions popped out in Lith’s mind.

Emilia descended down on the ground and let go of Lith’s waist. She then looked at the sword resisting in her hand and inscribed a sealing spell on it with her spiritual power. The sword stopped struggling instantly and now it looked no different than an ordinary sword.

Emilia handed the sword to Lith and said, “Lith, I know you must’ve worked hard to clear the inheritance trial and get this sword as the legacy, but, there is a problem.”

Lith nodded his head in understanding. He could tell what the problem was but he didn’t interrupt Emilia and let her continue.

“This sword has sentience and it would choose its own master. Looking at how much it was trying to resist and escape, it has rejected you. I have cast a sealing spell on it now and you can use it like a normal sword but the power won’t match even 10% of what it actually has. I can make it forcefully submit to you, but then again, you will only be able to use 60% of its total power. The sword’s 100% power can only be used if it chooses a master on its own.” Emilia said seriously.

Lith nodded his head once again. He was thinking of the same thing as her and her words confirmed his guesses.

“I understand, Miss Emilia. Do you know what criteria would need to be filled to become the sword’s master?” Lith asked.

“Well… This sword was made by the demonic beast worshippers and from whatever parts of his body the demonic beast gave to them. So my best guess would be that, one had to be at least a demon to wield this. I don’t know anything else apart from this.” Emilia said honestly.

Lith nodded his head. So one has to be a demon it seems. No worries, he would give this sword to Ralph and check if it accepts him as the master or not. He had no use for a Grade 5 sword like this much anyway.

Emilia held Lith by his waist once again and opened a portal a few meters away from them. She flew into it while carrying Lith and the Blue Haze World was back to being desolate like how it was previously.
