Chapter 80: Tomb 4

A hush fell over the students as the world around them dissolved into shimmering particles. They blinked, disoriented, and found themselves standing on a vast, rocky platform suspended in a swirling vortex of energy. Below them, an endless abyss pulsed with a chaotic mix of colors. Ahead, a magnificent blue dragon, his scales shimmering like polished sapphires, perched upon a colossal throne carved from obsidian. Nine blazing stars adorned his chest, there were also 2 blurred stars.

"Welcome, younglings," the dragon boomed, his voice a comforting rumble that resonated through their very bones. "You stand now on the threshold of my Inheritance Trials. I am Auregon, a guardian of this realm, and it is I who shall test your spirit and your strength."

A murmur rippled through the students, some awestruck, others apprehensive. Auregon's gaze swept over them, a hint of amusement flickering in his reptilian eyes.
