Capítulo 66: Elder's trial (1)
"What is going on here, Darkmore?" I asked him.
"I reckon that you'd just asked me some questions. Unfortunately, I won't be able to answer your question, as this is just a recording that I'd created before I perished from this world." Edgar said.
And he continued, "But fret not, as I will explain everything that you need to know so that you won't become completely lost!"
"If you don't already know my identity, allow me to give you some more information about my background. First and foremost, I am an outsider. I wasn't born into this world. Instead, I somehow traveled to this world from another world. In other words, I am an Otherworlder!!"
"An Otherworlder…?" Nina mumbled in a dazed voice as she stared at the hologram with a baffled look on her face. This wasn't her first time hearing such a term, but because this term has always been associated with evil and hatred, she couldn't help but feel scared.
"I was born in a world ravaged by monsters, one that's similar to this one, and I thought that I had met my end after being killed by a powerful monster, but when I opened my eyes, I found myself in this unknown world." Edgar continued.
"I was weak and pathetic in my old world, but in this world, I had the power and the opportunity to do whatever I wanted. I studied magic extensively, learned how to craft artifacts, and even created my own unique magic spells. However, I was not content with just having power. I wanted to use my power for something— I wanted everything, so I decided to try and rule the world."
"My conquest went smoothly at first as I conquered large countries and powerful families. I had all the wealth and women in the world. Unfortunately, I made a mistake, which ended my conquest, and now I am dead."
"You must be wondering why I am telling you this. It's simple. I want you to know about me before you accept my legacy."
"You are probably wondering about my legacy, so I will give you a quick rundown. My legacy is basically everything I once owned. My artifacts, my wealth, my magic spells— everything that I have acquired during my conquest is my legacy, and I am looking to pass it down to someone worthy."
"Of course, I am not telling you to continue my conquest. What you do with my legacy is up to you. I simply don't want it to collect dust and rot away."
"You're probably thinking that this sounds too good to be true— that there might be some ulterior motives behind all of this. I don't blame you for having doubts since Otherworlders are generally hated and not trusted by the people of this world. If you don't want to trust me, there's nothing I can do, as a dead man cannot force the living to do something they don't want to."
"With that being said, my legacy isn't free for taking either. If you want my legacy, you will have to chase after it, fight for it, bleed for it, and risk your life for it. In 5 minutes, the teleport magic in this room will activate. If you wish to acquire my magic, stay in this room. Otherwise, leave this room. I wish you the best of luck, Worthy One."
The hologram of Edgar Darkmore disappeared from the room the next second.
A few moments later, Nina turned to look at me and said, "You're not going to accept his legacy, are you?"
"There is no need for me to get his legacy but there is one thing I do want."
"Don't do it, Oswald! These Otherworlders cannot be trusted! Every time they appear in this world, the world is thrown into disorder! He's definitely trying to trick you into some kind of malicious scheme using his legacy as bait!"
"Dont worry. Even if he tries some tricks, I am stronger than him." I said after a moment of silence.
Nina gritted her teeth before shaking her head, "No! I am coming with you!"
"Are you sure? You don't have to force yourself."
"I am not forcing myself. I have already decided to follow you no matter where you go. Also, I want to be there to stop you if you decide to do anything stupid."
I smiled and nodded, "Alright."
Five minutes later, the floor to the room suddenly began glowing with a bright light as a large magic circle appeared on it.
"This is teleportation magic..." I memorized the magic spell as fast as I could.
We disappeared from the room shortly after.
When we reappeared, we found ourselves inside a dimly lit and massive chamber.
"Leo, over there!" Lilith suddenly pointed at an altar that was located in the center of this chamber.
"Wow, what is this thing?" I approached the 10 meter tall altar that appeared to be made from some kind of smooth material, almost like jade, but it was pitch black in color.
Lilith suddenly flew to the top of the altar.
"Oswald, there appears to be some kind of artifact up here!" She said after seeing the object sitting on the top of this altar.
"How troublesome… What do you think we should do now?"
"I think we should just look around for now."
"Alright."
The three of us proceeded to walk around the enclosed chamber that didn't seem to have any paths or entrances. In other words, we were trapped inside this underground chamber that could only be accessed by the teleportation magic.
"I knew it… That Otherworlder had tricked us. That was probably his way of revenge against the world that denied him— by luring people like us into a death trap that cannot be escaped." Nina rubbed her eyes in a stressed manner.
"Let's try activating the magic circle," I suddenly said.
"Huh? What if it's a trap and kills us?" Nina raised an eyebrow.
"I mean, we're already trapped down here, so we might as well try it."
Nina pondered for a moment before nodding her small head, "Alright. Let's do it."
"Good, because I already have an idea on how it'll activate."
