305 The Guardian of Blood, Challenging the Inheritance!
Waves of non discernible power rolled off the gigantic bloody being as a wine colored robe went on to drape over its body, a humongously long spear appearing on its right hand, its body coming down and smashing into the ground and causing a quake. It spoke once more, this time being much clearer.
"Are you prepared to stake your life to fight for the Inheritance of the Blood Progenitor, O...human?"
A voice of majesty had begun with resoundingly powerful words, but they finished in a questioning tone as the peering gaze focused on Noah. A brief silence came to be before the giant being made of what now looked like shining crystallized blood straightened up and continued.
"This inheritance is meant for the most powerful beings of the Vampyre Race, are you sure you are willing to stake your life on it, human?"
Its rumbling voice echoed from all over the miles long coliseum as Noah shouted back without a pause.
"I am willing!"
It was a voice full of confidence for whatever this Inheritance would throw at him, this confidence coming from the fact that he was holding on to the Dagger of Time very closely and using [Insight], also ready to take any drastic action if it was required of him to do so.
"...Good. The test to determine your worthiness will be as such."
The giant waved his hands as a red light descended towards Noah, a red runic marking being inlaid on his forehead as a signal came off of his body and was sent towards the bloody giant.
"The test will be a measure of your intellect, skill, and battle prowess as you face increasingly difficult opponents."
At these words, one of many pools of blood in the extremely wide coliseum began trembling as figures began rising from it, Noah observing the shapes of exactly one hundred humanoid bats with razor sharp claws and teeth, with wide wings erupting from their backs.
"Since you are at the Saint Realm, the first level will start with you battling 100 beings at the same rank."
"..."
Noah squinted his eyes at the 100 figures letting out power at the peak of the Saint Realm, turning his head towards the bloody giant in a questioning tone as these did not seem to be fair rules in any way for a being at the Saint Realm. The giant let out a slight cough as it continued.
"Per Master's wishes, if a being other than a Vampyre was to be let into the Inheritance Grounds, the difficulty would be increased by a factor of 10. Master was fair to all races, but he reserved the tremendous Inheritance in these Grounds to be received by the future progeny of his children. Him even allowing the possibility of other races to fight for the inheritance is a show of his great character."
Noah shook his head at the praise of this unknown Ancestor that set up these Inheritance Grounds, his thoughts being affirmed as no normal Saint Realm being would be given the task of fighting 100 beings of the same rank as them, no matter how great their power was. This meant that the first level of this Inheritance normally required a Vampyre to battle only 10 other beings of the same rank!
Noah still had a few questions as he looked towards the bloody giant and asked.
"How many levels are there, and what are the techniques awarded for passing them?"
When he discussed with the Vampyre King prior to entering the bloody portal that led to this Ancient Blood World, he was told that the techniques he was seeking would be found in the Inheritance located here, and that it would be up to his strength exactly how many techniques he would be able to get his hands on!
The giant made of blood turned his head to the side at the calm expression of this human about to face a powerful force of 100 beings at the same rank as it replied.
"There are six levels in total, with very few being able to pass even the third level in the last 1000 years. For a human such as you, the reward of passing the first level is gaining the bloodline of a normal Vampyre, with the techniques that go along with it. Passing the second level grants you the bloodline of an Elite Vampyre. Passing the Third level will give you the refined bloodline of a Pureblood Vampyre, along with the powerful techniques that come with it."
Noah's eyes shone at the mention of these rewards, hearing the talk of Bloodlines and techniques that made him itching to get started, even if the task ahead of him seemed improbable for any other beings to complete.
The major thought that occupied his brain right now was that if the Bloodline of a Pureblood Vampyres was the reward for the third level of this inheritance, just what tremendous rewards were waiting at the fourth, fifth, or even the spectacular 6th level?
These thoughts propelled him forward as he yelled out.
"Good, let's start!"
The huge giant that this Inheritance Ground knew as the Guardian of Blood looked closely at this human as the huge weapon it was holding in one hand raised before smashing towards the ground, acting as the initiation of the battle and letting loose 100 Saint Realm Blood Beasts towards Noah.
RUMBLE!
The force was astonishing to say the least, with the auras of these Blood Beasts actually roaring at the peak of the Saint Realm as they spread out and began surrounding Noah.
He let out a dazzling smile at the rushing of these monsters, multiple defensive skills layering his body as he wanted to test out the skills he held that were extremely powerful, but he didn't use too frequently as he continued to get more and more ridiculous skills.
Spears, swords, and many other forms of weapons made up of blood began to be thrown in his direction from the encircled force of 100 Blood Beasts as he dodged them with ease.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
They struck the areas behind him as the tremendous speed provided by [Child of Space] and other speed enhancing abilities made the enemies rushing towards him feel like they were in slow motion.
SCREECH!
Uncomfortable screeches were let out by the Blood Beasts as none of their attacks hit, choosing to go in with brute force as they rushed towards Noah with outstretched claws.
Noah stood in place as his smile only became wider, waiting for more of these monsters to get close to him as he weaved in and out of their attacks. The moment he observed that the 100 monsters were all in a circular formation around him, he finally cast a skill as he used [Gluttony Manifestation], a subset ability of the enhanced Sin of Gluttony after the creation of the \u003c\u003cAbsolute Sin\u003e\u003e.
[Gluttony Manifestation]:: The user can apply the effect of [Devouring] anywhere within 5 meters of them, there's no need to actively eat them.
VOOM!
Complete darkness erupted from him in a circular formation as it covered more than 20 Blood Beasts, the darkness being recalled a second after as the area it was just in was left eerily empty!
".."
The Guardian of Blood watched with surprised eyes as more than 20 Beasts at the Saint Realm were gone in an instant!
FLASH!
Noah wasn't done as he teleported in and out of the mass of Blood Beasts around him, covering an area of 5 meters each time to maximize the range of [Gluttony Manifestation] as he repeatedly cast the skill 4 more times.
Quick.
Fast.
Easy.
Noah came to a stop in the air as he saw half cut up bodies, legs or wings that were outside of the range of [Gluttony Manifestation] fall to the ground, not a single Blood Beast remaining around him as he stood victoriously in the bloody skies!
The only thoughts passing through Noah's mind was the reminder of the extreme usefulness of many of his unused skills as the Guardian of Blood looked forth with a face of stupor.
"Are you prepared to stake your life to fight for the Inheritance of the Blood Progenitor, O...human?"
A voice of majesty had begun with resoundingly powerful words, but they finished in a questioning tone as the peering gaze focused on Noah. A brief silence came to be before the giant being made of what now looked like shining crystallized blood straightened up and continued.
