Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 437: Inheritance

Chapter 437: Inheritance

-----

As Rose, Skadi, Uller, and Kuro bought me time, I quickly went down the "inheritance". The first thing I found was a ma.s.sive stone door in front of me.

The door glowed with bright moonlight, pink light around the entire thing, it showed some kind of letters, words, in fact…

"Only if you can solve these five riddles, you'll be worthy of pa.s.sing into the next room." It said.

"Huh? What is this corny bulls.h.i.t?"

I charged mana into my fists and crushed the entire stone door with a single punch, the stone flew away into pieces, and I quickly entered the next place.

Apparently, there were several rooms with stupid doors with riddles, they were all made by the ancestor for some stupid reason… did she actually expected people to resolve them to get to the next room?

I just blasted each door into pieces until I finally reached the room where her corpse was, alongside the corpse of the dragon, well, their skeletons, just skeletons.

"Don't worry I shall not desecrate the dead… Just let me take these things for you." I said with a smile, as I extended my hands into the skeletons and took out the shiny, pink-colored jewels they had inside their ribcages.

Loot collected!

Well, not everything yet…

In front of the two corpses there were three treasure chests with stuff inside. The moment I reached them, I opened the one in the middle and quickly was surprised to find a pile of Mana Stones shining brightly inside of it, there were over a million- no, way more than that, probably almost a hundred million, or more?! A billion?

Wow, this is a lot of money, technically. I guess she could had solved the economy issues of this place the entire time but she was saving it up for someone else… Sigh.

And while swimming around this money, there were three other items inside. One of them was a mask in the shape of a half-moon named [Moonlight a.s.sa.s.sin Mask] which granted amazing stealth abilities, enhancement to a.s.sa.s.sination and dagger techniques, and a boost to all magic stats while in the night, all effects needed the night to trigger though.

The other item was a pair of beautiful pink sandals named [Lotus Princess Sandals] which granted the user the ability to step in the air and give kicks that create breezes with lotus petals… it also enhanced speed.

The third item was a bracelet with moon-shaped jewels on it, it had a strong aura of mana on it. This thing was named [Moonlight Princess Bracelet], and it gave a general increase to all magic, let the user conjure a few moonlight magic spells, and also increased the maximum mana pool by a certain amount.

"I might gift this to Benladann or Miranda, I guess…"

The two would certainly look pretty on them.

The left treasure chest also had equipment, it seems that there was entire moonlight lotus princess set of equipment, it had the dress, he stockings, the sandals, the bracelet, the ring, and more… I guess this would had been disappointing for a male of the family to get inherited this, unless it would had been forced to cross-dress… Well, I've seen the males of the winter lotus family, they really do look like the women, so it wouldn't make much difference I suppose.

However, aside from these sets of equipment, which I will probably gift to Benladann and probably Miranda, there was another item I was interested in, it was… an egg.

Indeed, there was a small, pink-colored egg resting over a small cushion atop an altar, this egg emanated a strong presence, and I could clearly sense something alive inside.

Is this a Lunar Dragon egg?! So there was another… Nice! Maybe with this I can get my own Lunar Dragon, hehehe.

I grabbed all the loot, as I carefully placed the egg inside my Shadow Storage, and moved outside.

The scene outside was in a stalemate, the fighters couldn't get through the others. Kuro was in a stalemate with Mikoto, although Kuro seemed to be growing a bit tired. Meanwhile, Yukihime was relentless thanks to being an Undead without stamina, but Rose was also an undead without stamina, even more Skadi and Uller, so they probably could go on fighting for a looooong while.

"I already stole everything so stop fighting and listen to me you two." I said.

"What? You resolved my difficult riddles in this little time!? Impossible! I put so much time on them… A-Are you a genius or something?" asked Yukihime in shock.

"Erm… Yes, I do admit they were difficult, but I was able to pull through them. Good job with them, they were fun nonetheless." I said.

"O-Oh?! Really? Hmph! Of course they were. See, Mikoto? My riddles were indeed amazing!" Said Yukihime.

"Yeah but they didn't stopped him from getting into the treasure." Said Mikoto.

"Gah…! Right…" sighed Yukihime.

The two ghosts looked at me angrily, but my allies were easily protecting me against them.

"You two are strong, join me in my task of protecting this beautiful Sect, and also put an end to the Dark Shadow Sect in the meantime… Of course, you'll be rewarded handsomely." I said.

"Rewarded in which way?!" asked Mikoto.

"There's nothing you can reward us with!" said Yukihime.

"How about new living bodies?" I asked with a smile.

The two quickly stood still looking at me with shock clear in their eyes.

"Y-You can do that?!" asked Mikoto.

"Yes, I can, I've done it already with my wife's parents and a few other people too." I said.

"H-He's not lying… You're really saying the truth! I can't believe it…" said Yukihime.

"You better believe it then… I am a Death Mage after all, the power of bringing back the dead is my specialty!" I said.

"New… physical bodies?" wondered Yukihime.

"Hmm… Well, being a ghost is not so bad though." Said Mikoto.

"Well yeah, but having that option sounds nice to me." Said Yukihime.

"True to that…" said Mikoto.

They were considering it; it appears I might make two new and strong allies.
