nIkarus used a lot of his strength to stop the inheritance from killing Arthur, which made him go into a slumber, not knowing when he would wake up again.

nArthur felt a warmth in his heart after receiving the help of that bird. They barely knew each other, yet it was almost sacrificing its life to help a stranger.

nWas it a good-natured creature, or was it Arthur used to the evil from humans? He did not know the answer to that question. No one knew.

nThe benefits of the inheritance came into play a few seconds after he got it. Even though all the memories of the Blood Monarch were still locked, Arthur had total control of the dimensional realm and could use it as he pleased.

nSo, the first thing he did was to send everyone back, except Signy, Helga, and Rolf!

nArthur had not forgotten about him, and now that he was the ruler of the dimensional realm, he could sense exactly where he was.

nBut before that, he listened to Laura, who gave him an important item for his next destiny.

n“This is the token of my One Hundred Thunder academy. Just go there and show this to anyone, and you will be accepted as an important member. Thank you for saving my life, and I hope we can meet up in the future.” Laura said.

n“Thank you, brother.” Philip said.

nHe was a man of few words, but still thanked Arthur for saving his life. Kane was the only one from the trio who had an immense anger for Arthur, and the two of them did not speak.

n“Wait here.”

nArthur vanished from the spot he was currently in, appearing inside a dark building from the underground city. It was the place where Rolf was hiding, hoping to have time to steal the inheritance, or at least leave that place with the bloodline treasure.

n“Arthur? This is impossible!”

nRolf was sitting in a corner of the house, and when he saw Arthur staring at him with fierce eyes, his whole body trembled.

nHe could not believe that Arthur was not only alive, but better than ever, emanating the power of an incredible mage. Also, how did he find him so easily? Rolf could not understand that.

nThe thought of Arthur being the person who got the inheritance never crossed his mind.

n“Are you ready to die?” Arthur said.

nThere was no time for him to answer, as Arthur cut his head off, killing him in an instant. He would give no chance to a robber, especially one that betrayed him.

nWith quick moves, Arthur got everything from Rolf’s magical pouches, including the tree he had stolen. Everything was going well for him, and now it was time to cut the remaining weed, which was the mysterious mummy who was watching everything.

nArthur vanished yet another time, appearing in a place that looked like a tomb with a coffin in the middle, and a strange mirror.

nThere, he saw a mummy, who was looking through the mirror, watching the fight between him and the dragon, completely scared.

n“I already killed it. Is your treasure having difficulties to track down the fight between Official Mages?” Arthur said.

nThe mummy was surprised to see Arthur there. As for him, the fight was still happening. Arthur had messed up with the magical mirror without the mummy noticing it, sending him delayed images.

n“How are you here?”

nEverything was not going according to plan. The mummy wanted to get the inheritance for himself, yet someone showed up screwing all of his plans.

n“Magic.”

nArthur laughed at his own lame joke, one that the mummy did not understand. He prepared to kill that thing for good, yet something unexpected happened once again.

n“We will see each other again, mark my words.”

nThen, blood circled around the mummy, who disappeared completely from the dimensional realm. Arthur tried everything, yet it was impossible to feel the mummy.

n“How did he leave it without my permission? Who was that mummy?” Arthur thought.

nHe believed there was no way for that thing to escape his grasp, yet the unexpected happened. Perhaps that skeleton he met before was lying about the identity of that mummy?

nWhen Arthur thought about it, he decided to teleport to where he first saw the skeleton, and it was not there. He could not sense it as well, as if it had already left the dimensional realm, just like the mummy.

n“Could the two be the same person?”

nA wild thought crossed Arthur’s mind, but he was not sure if it was true or not.

nThere was no gain in thinking about those things, so he returned to where Signy and Helga were. Everything happened so fast that the two of them did not have to wait for a long time before meeting with Arthur again, who was excited to explore the rest of the dimensional realm.

nHe teleported the three of them to the garden, where lots of strange plants he had never seen before were.

nWithin seconds, all of it was sent to his magical pouch, and he did not stop there, exploring all the other rooms of the dimensional realm.

nThe place had fewer treasures than Arthur expected. Perhaps the mummy or the skeleton had got a few of them before leaving. That would explain a lot.

nHe was slightly disappointed, but the trip had been a win for him.

nArthur got an inheritance for someone extraordinary. Lighting and moon essence, as well as breakthrough to the next rank.

nThere was also the tree, which had fruits capable of improving his bloodline. It was something truly valuable to him. Arthur was glad he had found Rolf to get that back.

n“There is nothing truly extraordinary here. A pity.” Arthur said while looking at the room where the treasures were supposed to be.

nThe room only had a few weapons of all kinds, and some other miscellaneous items which Arthur did not know their uses. He did not know if they were valuable at that moment, so he simply put everything inside his magical pouch and left.

nWhen Arthur finished getting everything that had the value of the dimensional realm, he got out of it, returning to the island of giants.

nSigny and Helga were there with him, glad to leave that place alive.

n“Are you two willing to follow me to a place? I own a magical academy on another continent. We can stay some time there, and when you two are ready to go to the central continent, then I will lend you some help as well. Also, here, take it.”

nArthur gave Helga and Signy some treasures he found in the dimensional realm. He was not someone who would get everything to himself, as he believed that would only bring him bad luck.

nAs for the offer to go to Odemore, the academy Wisa and Jane were building near Frostpeak, the two of them accepted.

n“Oh, right? Can you tell me everything you know about the invasion?”
