Chapter 816 Elise's Inheritance
-----
The moment they said their goodbyes to Elise, everyone suddenly woke up in their bodies, as if nothing had ever happened. They were still standing over like nothing. Although it felt like a few minutes, in the outside world it was merely three seconds.
"We're back..." Allan sighed. "Elise..."
"She's gone now..." Shade sighed. "But I hope she might end in a better place."
"Well, I have heard our Gods have no jurisdiction over the souls we have, actually..." Arafunn said. "Perhaps, her soul is in somewhere else much better than now... Or perhaps, she could had even reincarnated. Who knows?"
"Hah... I just hope... That she can find a better closure, somewhere else..." Allan sighed.
"Dad, are you alright?" Sylph wondered.
"Oh yeah, I'm fine dear." Allan smiled, giving a head pat to his daughter.
"Now, where's that Luck?" Wondered Aquarina.
"We should go look for him, he's inside the building." Said Mist. "Let's go!"
As everyone moved towards the ruins, Luck suddenly fell to his knees the moment the inheritance finished. His entire body was overflowing with magical power, as the entire Soul Scape of Elise, alongside a large part of her powers, including Magic Circle Runes and Physique Runes flowed into his body!
FLAAAAASSSH!
"AARGGH...! U-UGH...!"
However, Luck wasn't able to take the complete inheritance. His entire body was in pain, too much power would make him explode into pieces without a proper, continuous growth.
"LUCK!"
The Gray Fenrir ran towards Luck, channeling his Magic Power and encompassing him with it. Fusing his Magic Aura with Luck's body, he quickly started to help him regulate all the power he gained.
"Elise told me about this before. If the inheritor wasn't capable of taking the entire power, I had to do this...! [Beast Magic]: [Divine Beast Seal]!"
FLUOOOSH!
All the Magic Circle Runes and Physique Runes suddenly gathered in the middle of Luck's chest, forming a magic seal in the shape of a roaring wolf tattoo.
"Ungh... Cough... Hahh..." Luck quickly felt more at ease. However, he had already absorbed a great deal of power, as much as he could possibly absorb as of now, and he felt his entire body growing much stronger.
Merely giving a glance at his stats, he realized they had improved greatly, and some of his skills even ended leveling up.

Among his changes, he gained more MP and Magic, which was fitting from the inheritance of a more magician-oriented hero of wild beasts like Elise. Above all, he also gained the new Skill [Hero of Wild Beast's Inheritance Seal], which most likely signified the inheritance's full power which was within him.
"Hahh... This new power... I feel like my Magic and Mana had increased by a lot. But my body feels much lighter- Ah! My Magic Circle ranked up!" He quickly realized. "Now both are finally the same Tier... Oof. I'm tired..."
"Hmph, it seems you've managed to hold it well, Elise was an incredible magician. The only that could surpass her was that elf woman." Said the Gray Fenrir. "Because of this, her inheritance is mostly magic power and mana. Which will complement you, as you used to have quite little before. However, I was right, you're still too weak to take on the full inheritance, as I feared."
"I can't take it all right away, huh?" Luck sighed. "What can I do to get it all?"
"Grow stronger. As you develop both magic circle and physique, the seal's power will naturally be slowly unlocked into the rest of your body, giving you great enhancements and an even faster growth." Said the Gray Fenrir. "You might even learn new Abilities and Magic Spells engraved in your magic circle!"
"Amazing... So this is the strength of Elise..." Luck was surprised.
While Elise was mostly a magician and tamer, Luck was focused on physical capabilities and strength. When both strengths focused together into a single body, this would probably create the strongest Hero of Wild Beasts.
And he knew that, but it wouldn't be a power he would be able to gain without hard work. And to avenge his brother, his village, and rescue Lara, he would need to keep working hard.
"If it wasn't for everyone else, I would had never been able to reach this far..." Luck suddenly started crying, falling to his knees. "I owe Sylphy and everyone else... so much..."
"..." The Gray Fenrir glanced at Luck with silence, yet he quickly walked towards his side and... kicked him.
BAAAM!
"Ouch! What the heck was that for?!" Luck roared angrily.
"Stop crying! Are you a baby or something?!" The Fenrir barked angrily. "Just get going! We don't have all day here, oi! Now help me grab these items, they're not all for you! Elise said to distribute some of these things to the new heroes, so help me out."
"O-Okay!" Luck nodded, feeling happy that he would be able to share these items with everyone, perhaps this could alleviate the tremendous feeling of gratitude he felt for everyone.
Once the ruins gates opened, Luck walked outside with a bag of treasures, noticing everyone rushing towards him.
"Everyone! The Fenrir said I can share the treasures!" Luck ran towards them.
RUMBLE!
However, the floor suddenly started to shake, as a hole opened in the floor.
And gigantic demonic insects emerged from within!
"Mind if I take those treasures for myself, young lad~?"
