Chapter 57: Forest Zone

Yale remembered the words he read from the mysterious pictures, and then he understood their real meaning.

“I had thought that the second legacy is to those who had mastered the first one, but that isn’t true. The second legacy is only to those who can see through the illusions and have mastered the first spell in the wall.”

After reaching that conclusion, Yale doubted that anyone else would be able to obtain Shape Shift legacy, Illusion immunity wasn’t an ordinary skill after all.

Beside Serka, Nurvey had also mastered the spell while Yale was in his enlightenment, the other two wasn’t very well suited to that spell, so they gave up in mastering it.

The group followed Yale to the other small houses, but there wasn’t any other skill left as a legacy, only random stuff that was somewhat valuable but could move the wealthy nobles.

They distributed it equally even if Yale wanted to keep only a sword and a bow he found of his liking.

It wasn’t that Yale didn’t want more things, but he couldn’t carry a lot of stuff without his mobility was affected.

“If you are only worried by that, I can help you to carry the items and give them back to you when we left the realm, what do you think?”

Kermu was only carrying one spatial artifact but was a top-grade one with a lot of space for storage; he had more than enough to safeguard Yale’s belongings.

“Then, I will trouble you.”

Yale wasn’t worried that Kermu wanted to keep the items to himself, to a noble, those items weren’t that valuable. As initially, Yale wanted to give up the items, Kermu could have picked them if he wanted, without needing to offer himself to help Yale.

The group finally left the hall, and they returned back to their previous formation to walk across the corridors.

They chose to change the area as there were more possibilities of finding another legacy in a different area.

They needed some hours before reaching the forest area, the change of regions was abrupt and unnatural. First, all was human-made, and in the next step, it was a dense forest.

The artifacts of the noble stopped detecting traps as they had entered the forest, Yale also didn’t notice any illusion.

However, they heard a loud roar from deep in the forest.

The main danger of the forest zone was that was infested with monsters, and the one who roared seemed especially powerful.

In fact, monsters were more dangerous than traps as traps couldn’t move from their original position, but monsters can move freely.

However, most commoners would feel more secure in the forest zone than in the human-made area.

The reason was that the commoners lacked trap detecting artifacts and thus the monsters were easier to avoid than the fixed traps.

The group didn’t find anyone else in the human-made zone, but the main reason was that it was extremely difficult to reach the hall without someone capable of see through illusions.

They advanced without too much difficulty as the monsters they found were rather young and thus weak.

They even served as lunch to Yale and the others; they had only eaten fasting pills since they entered the special realm.

However, they didn’t find any legacy nor any other people in the four whole days they had roamed the forest.

“I think that we should take more risks if we want to obtain something, we are playing too safe.”

Yale had turned more close with his teammates in the time they roamed the forest; he was able to express his opinion without worries.

“Why do you think that?”

Kermu had a leader-like personality and thought very high from Yale due to all that had happened since they entered the special realm. He was always interested in Yale’s thoughts and opinions.

“The previous legacy was only possible to obtain by seeing through illusions which were the main danger of the area. If the elder who created this realm followed the same pattern, to obtain the legacy here, we need to face the real danger of the forest instead of avoiding it. We need to beat the strongest monster in the area.”

They had avoided powerful monsters because the realm restriction didn’t apply to the monsters that had been born in the forest area.

The original monsters left by the elder were dead long ago, but their descendants still controlled the forest zone.

Those monsters still have a restriction; they could reach the 6-star mortal realm. However, to five kids at the 3-star mortal realm, battling such an opponent would be very dangerous.

“That can be true. We don’t know what the elder has left in the area, but to obtain it there should be some relation with those beasts. Going to defeat the strong ones might be difficult, but that will also increase our chances of obtaining some rewards. What do you think? I don’t care about the danger, but we will be risking our lives. If someone doesn’t feel confident, we can continue with our current method or go to another area.”

In the end, no one feared danger; they had come to the special realm knowing very well that it was dangerous.

Furthermore, none of them were weak, a 6-star monster was a difficult opponent but not an undefeatable one if they use all their power. As members of the noble clans, they had methods to beat stronger opponents than them, and Yale didn’t have any problem in did it either.

As they started to near the nest of powerful monsters they also began to see other people.

However, they were all dead, and the state of their bodies was enough to know that their death wasn’t a peaceful one.

Fortunately, none of the corpses were from people they knew, so they weren’t that affected even if they didn’t like seeing it.

They had all a strong will and managed to remain concentrated in such situation; most kids would have started vomiting at the scene. Being distracted in such dangerous place would only mean death.

Even if they didn’t know, a lot of the corpses had died due to being distracted looking at the scene.

Some 4-star monsters had met their ends in the hands of Yale and the nobles, to their group a 4-star monster didn’t pose any danger even if it was a realm above them.

Wyba didn’t battle as she was too weak, but she had eaten a lot of those monsters, she liked the flesh of powerful beasts.

Wyba managed to advance to the 2-star mortal realm thanks to that, eating other beasts was something beneficial to Wyba, and powerful ones had a better effect.

That was something common in most beasts, but usually, a little wolf like Wyba wouldn’t have a chance to eat that many 4-star monsters.

The first somewhat rough battle the group had was when they found a 5-star monster.

Furthermore, that monster and Wyba’s father were from the same species, even if the wolf of the special realm was way more powerful.

As the opponent was a wolf, Yale could understand it, but the monster was insane.

“Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill… ”

Yale only heard the same word without stopping, all the monsters in the forest zone were extremely aggressive, but Yale didn’t think that they were that crazy as to only think in killing others.

Wyba feared the big black wolf; she didn’t dare to look at it and hid into Nurvey’s arms.

Fortunately, Nurvey defensive spells were really powerful, and Wyba had nothing to worry.

Nurvey focused en long-range battle, support spells, and defensive spells, she also knew how to use a spear, but she didn’t like to battle at short range.

As for the bow, she said that before using a bow she would cast the magic directly to the opponent.

Serka was a skillful rod user, but she evaded taking any risks in the battle as she was the group’s healer and thus she should be ready to heal others when they need it.

The opponent wasn’t like the ones they had beaten before, and she didn’t want to be careless.

Hyrk was the type who loved battle without weapons, only relying on his body, his body enhancing techniques were way better than those which Heruk had used before in the tournament.

Kermu was like Yale and also specialized in the sword combining it with spells.

The black wolf was mighty, but after less than half hour he was finished.

Kermu and Yale’s Combined Skills with the sword were extremely powerful with the boost they obtained from Nurvey.

And Hyrk’s defense was able to withstand the most quantity of hits of all of them, that was usually his role in a battle, that was the main reason he was worried about the healing priority as he had the most chances of being injured.

Wyba left Nurvey’s arms after the black wolf was killed and went to eat some of its flesh, that was a sumptuous meal for her.
