Astral World.
Opening his eyes, Lith saw himself back in the world of gray. He was in a forest and it looked as lifeless as always.
Having the coordinates as a guide, Lith started walking and after what felt like half a day, he finally arrived at his destination.
There was a small cave in front of Lith that appeared as ordinary as it could. Nothing about it seemed special and if Lith hadn't known that the coordinates led to this place, he wouldn't even have noticed it.
Lith entered the dimly lit cave and walked for a while. As he did so, he noticed some strange patterns, they were really faint, but they were present.One such thing he noticed was that there were exactly three pebbles on the ground at an interval of a hundred metres. Many such similar patterns appeared at various intervals and they didn't go unnoticed as well.
There appeared a fork in front of Lith once he moved in for a while, but due to the hints he got previously, choosing a direction wasn't difficult.
A day worth's of walking later and going through many forks, Lith finally arrived at what seemed like a giant pillar with a demon statue resting on top of it.
It appeared really ancient and below the pillar, there was an engraving on it, written in a strange language that Lith didn't know of.
It was to take into account that Lith was familiar with all the languages in the world he lived in, no matter how ancient or new it may be. The reason for that was Lucy, who ensured he knew at least a little of everything.
After the engravings were over, below them was a small cavity that made it seem like something was needed to be filled in there.
Looking around him, Lith found nothing noticeable and he assumed that he might need to bring something that was needed to fill the cavity with.What would happen after filling the cavity? Probably some reaction that would cause the pillar to move or do something. Lith came to a conclusion.
This place seemed like a trial of some sort and it wasn't too difficult to come to such conclusions.
After thinking on what he should put there and not getting any answer, Lith checked his space ring and saw there to be many liquids present.
But before he put anything from his ring into the cavity, he first decided to use his own blood. Maybe it might cause a reaction to occur? Lith thought.
He had his reasons to think of such things and without wasting time, Lith bit his index finger and dropped some blood into the cavity.
Without any surprise, Lith saw a reaction with the pillar slightly shaking and making slight rumbling noise.
A few instances later, the demon statue on the top of the pillar shook as well and finally, the demon's head turned towards Lith and his eyes glowed red.
The demon looked at Lith from head to toe and screeched,
"#@#$&"
Although Lith did not know what language it was, he understood the meaning of it somehow.
The demon basically said, 'A visitor.' He then asked who it was that awakened him from his slumber.
Lith answered looking at statue, "I am Lith Evure. A vampire."
The demon looked at Lith and screeched again, saying, "
The demon was asking Lith his cultivation now.
Lith refused to answer it.
The demon then asked if Lith was an immortal.
Lith said yes since it wouldn't really hurt to hand out this information.
The demon then said,
'A person with a ***** bloodline. How amazing is it for someone with such high potential to stumble here.'
Lith had trouble understanding the bloodline name since it wasn't very clear to him but being called someone with high potential, he could tell that his bloodline may really be very strong.
The demon statue then stated, 'A good seed. You're eligible to enter the trial. I hope you aren't a disappointment like the guy who visited a hundred thousand years ago.'
Lith raised an eyebrow as he heard that. He then asked, "what trial is it?"
The demon made a creepy smile and screeched, "#&@$$!!!"
'Its an inheritance trial. Once you enter, you'll know everything about it.'
'And assuming from the strange language you're speaking, you don't understand my language as well, right? Let me fix this language barrier first.'
The demon's eyes shot out a bright red beam of light that covered Lith and in just a matter of a few seconds, a lot of information poured into Lith's mind.
A few seconds later, Lith digested the information and said softly, "strange. I haven't heard of this language before anywhere."
"It's a very ancient language, it's no surprise you do not know." The demon statue screeched again, but this time Lith was able to understand it clearly.
Lith shrugged. Could be.
The demon continued, "Although your potential makes you eligible to enter, you'll still need to pass the first test."
"Read the engraving and do as it had asked."
Lith looked at the engravings again and this time, noticed that he could indeed read it properly.
Reading the engravings, he realized that he cannot enter alone in the inheritance trial. He must have a partner that is stronger than him. And this partner must be a female, the race didn't matter. The engravings also stated what the cavity was supposed to be filled with and reading that, Lith looked at the statue and said,
"Yang essence? Are you serious?"
The demon, with utmost seriousness and a deep voice, replied, "Yes."
Lith rubbed his temples as he heard that. He then asked the statue, "but I poured my blood in it and it still worked. Why does it need that?"
The statue replied, "Anything that gets poured into that, I must check. Your blood awakened me from my slumber. Now, your quality of Yang essence is what will be tested first to make you eligible to enter."
Lith clicked his tongue. This definitely was some pervert's inheritance. He was now having second thoughts about entering.
He looked at the demon statue and stated, "I'll leave and be back after a while. Afterall, I do need a partner, don't I?"
The demon screeched, "Do as you wish."
Lith left the place and went out of the cave. He had a map of how to get in and before entering some suspicious place like that, he wanted to have an opinion about it first.
Risking his life unnecessarily was a stupid thing. He wanted to go check what his mother said about this place.
Lith went out of the Astral World after thinking so and coming to the original world, Lith asked Noman to take him to Nightingale.
After he was back home, Lith went straight to his mother who was sitting on the rooftop of the castle to talk with her about this thing.
