Chapter 436: Confronted By The Ancestor
-----
"Y-You…!"
"Y-You…!"
The two locked stares for a little while…
"Ahem. Weren't you companions?" I asked while raising an eyebrow.
"T-They really don't seem like companions, my lord…" sighed Rose.
Weren't they companions? Why are they fighting like idiots over the stupidest of things? I really felt like slapping them in the face for once, although that might kill them if I use Death Cleansing.
Though, now that I think about it and analyze them well, their power is strong, I would need to combine Death Cleansing with many other stronger spells and my techniques to finally exorcise them… In resume, they're tough ghosts.
"Weren't you companions? Stop fighting!" I said.
The two quickly stopped discussing as they looked down at me angrily… I guess they will target their anger at me.
"You've gotten what you want, I will let this slide, now get out of here! Next time bring me a descendant with Mikohime if you ever want the inheritance. Of course, it will be for that descendant, not yours." She said.
"You're seriously asking me to have a kid with your descendant to get through your inheritance? You're really an annoying woman, what if I just force my way through? What are you going to do about it?" I asked.
"Eh?! You wouldn't dare!" she said angrily, suddenly materializing a blade made of ice. This one wasn't a phantom thing; this was a real deal. She summoned it out of thin air somehow… The System, however, provided an analysis and explanation.
I see! So there is even a weapon imbued into a unique skill!? That's broken! I think she got a bunch of overpowered cheats, that's very freaking unfair.
"Oh yes, watch me." I said, as I answered her question by extending my hands over the floor and then easily devouring the runes that blocked my path towards the underground area where her corpse and that of the dragon were buried, within this "inheritance".
CRASH!
By using my devouring powers, it was an easy task to destroy some stupid runes made by a Rank 5. She was the only Rank 5 there was, but now she was a Rank 4 ghost, so it was different.
"Y-You just did that?!" asked Mikoto.
"You're courting death, dragon! I'll slay you!" roared Yukihime.
She flew towards me and raised her blade, suddenly, the blade was encompassed by the power of moonlight and snow, spiraling around one another in a spectacle of beautiful colors, it was as if they had turned into two coiling dragons going around one another!
"Winter Lotus Katana Technique: Moonlight Dragon Uprising!"
"Uller, Skadi, Rose."
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Skadi and Uller quickly rushed out of Rose's shadows, as they were hiding inside of her shadow, and she quickly wielded both with her phantasmal arms, clashing against Yukihime.
CLAAAASHHH!
BOOM!!!
A massive explosion of moonlight and ice resonated all around, but quickly reseeded after a few seconds. The power of Skadi and Uller had been being forged for a while, and if they were being wielded by Rose, they were even stronger thanks to her Blade and Spear techniques.
But why did I even made her fight instead of me? Because I was going to the inheritance, duh.
"You guys distract her for me, alright?" I asked.
"Yes, my lord." Said Rose.
"Leave it to me!" said Skadi.
"Understood." Said Uller.
"Y-You got two intelligent weapons?! And this pesky ghost! You think you stand a chance against me?! …H-Hey! Come back here! Where are you going?!"
Yukihime roared back at me as she saw me walk away underground. I waved my hand at her.
She looked at Mikoto who was spectating the entire thing with eyes wide open, as if this was all just a TV show for her.
"M-Move your phantasmal ass, you useless lizard!" cried Yukihime.
"Ah! O-Okay…"
Mikoto quickly flew behind me at a fast speed, trying to catch me with her giant phantom jaws.
"I guess this is the best place to debut you, Kuro, come out, there's a worthy opponent." I said with a smile.
My shadows suddenly expanded widely as a massive snake emerged out of it, coated in black scales and with two enormous and glowing crimson-redeyes… it emanated a strong presence, and it even had two black horns atop its head… It was my newest pet, Kuro-chan!
"Gysshhiiiaa!" she hissed angrily at the phantasmal lunar dragon, as she tried to simply ignore her and get through her.
"You can't block a ghost!" she laughed.
"Oh really?" I sighed.
"GRYSHA!"
Kuro angrily unleashed her shadow aura, suddenly, it gained phantom-like properties, the darkness easily damaged Mikoto's ghost body and made her pull back from where she came from!
"Unngh?! You can damage a ghost?!" she asked in surprise.
"It's rather obvious that you can damage a ghost with magic… For a fellow dragon you're very stupid." I sighed.
"Well what did you expect, I've never had experience as a dragon before!" she said.
"Okay, sure, Kuro, distract her for now. Don't kill her though, I have plans for those two for later." I said.
"Gryyysshiii!" Kuro waved the tip of her tail like a cute dog the moment I gave her an order. She seemed eager to show me what she was made of.
"Get out of my way!"
"GRYSHA!"
Mikoto unleashed a series of slashing attacks using her dragon claws and her dragon tail, clashing against Kuro's powerful scale armor, she attacked back with her own tail whips and headbutts, while also firing bullets made of darkness.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The battles behind me were interesting, but I was interested in the loot here.
I reached a straight corridor ahead, I didn't seem to find anything else here, the inheritance was just a treasure room, I guess.
I walked into the place and suddenly found a door made of stone in front of me. There was some text on it…
