Ery would never forget this rumbling voice.
"Killgragah!!"
Ery shouted as he looked around, trying to find the source of the voice.
The mont Ery called the dragon's na, a black shadowy thin line appeared in front of him, Then, it slowly widened itself until it ford into so kind of a door.
Looking at the 'door' in front of him, Ery felt apprehension yet also excitent.
"You have succeeded, kid. You may visit Khaos once more."
Upon hearing that, Ery took a deep breath. The last ti he went inside, he got a lot of benefits but he was also trapped for almost six month.
Ery threw out all of his doubts about the place and stepped forward, entering the shadowy door.
The sensation of going in and out of a portal had beco a common thing for Ery, but entering the Khaos had an entirely different feeling. The mont he went inside the Khaos space, he? could clearly feel the rich spirit aura.
Probably because Ery had advanced the level of his Dark core, he could sohow perceive the energy much better. For a mont, he was so intoxicated? that he stood motionless in front of the 'door' which slowly disappeared out of existence.
Ery began walking through the narrow hallway until he reached a big, massive room where he couldn't see the ceiling. Astounded for a brief mont by it, he proceeded to throw his gaze around, looking for the figure he ca here for.
"I am here." said Killgragah, as he moved out of the darkness. At the sa ti, several dark flas appeared and lit up the entire room.
Seeing the colossal form of Killgragah, Ery took a respectful gait and said, "My respect to you supre being."
Ery felt it was ti for him to be smarter with his words. Even though the attempt was diocre at best, he had to do whatever it took to obtain more leverage on the dragon.
"Aaahhh... You are no longer a kid, aren't you…?" said Killgragah, when he saw how Ery acted. "Co… co closer." added the dragon, with a loud rumbling on his voice.
Ery stepped forward while checking around him. The room was still the sa as previously, the dragon was still bound by chains in front of him. A large door that previously could not be opened also in its previous location and the window that showed the sight to the outside in the left wall. Everything appeared to be the sa.
While Ery was doing his 'inspection', the dragon's snake-like head moved around and stared at him closely, from different angles.
"Let see what you are now…"
After the dragon said its thoughts, a wave of energy bursted out of the dragon and made its way to Ery, entering his body at such speed, he didn't have the ti to react.
Ery's feet left the ground as his body floated into the air, borne by the energy Killgragah discharged. At the sa ti, Ery felt his mind was being loaded with energy that it almost shattered apart.
When the transference stopped, Ery opened his eyes only to find he was back in the illusionary space. The faceless man was standing several ters in front of him.
Ery felt as if his mind was being probed and his stats ca to mind.
"These restrictions are really annoying, aren't they?" comnted the dragon as it saw Ery's stats. "But I have to say, with a B aptitude, your progress is not bad, not bad at all. There is probably hope for you, after all."
Ery smiled a little when he heard that, as he rarely heard a complint coming from the dragon.
Next, Ery suddenly felt as if the events that had happened the past 3 months were coming back at him. Just like the previous ti where Killgragah probed his childhood, this ti, Ery knew the dragon was trying to probe his mory again.
Passing through the mory of Ery winning the Magus Ga, Killgragah laughed loudly, "Hahaha... Impressive achievent in such a useless ga..."
Ery let out a I-knew-it sigh when he heard the dragon's mocking session had once again begun.
"Such a childish ga... Humans... Phuii…" said Killgragah, as he perused his mories. "If it's not a life and death fight, then all those competitions don't an a single thing. Only in the face of death will a person's real identity be shown. Don't you think so?"
Ery had to admit there was actually so wisdom from the dragon's words.
…
Ery was thinking and planning his future plans when the dragon suddenly got excited.
"Aaaah! She found you. No wonder you improved so much..."
Hearing that, Ery wondered who the dragon ant, "Who do you an- Wait... Is it… her?"
A figure who helped Ery in his cultivation, a female and the one who 'found' him; there were none other than Grand magus Zenoia.
Killgragah laughed at the rhetorical question that Ery asked him, "Hahaha... Who else?"
Because the faceless man had no expression, Ery couldn't tell if the dragon was smiling or smirking. Recalling the words of Killgragah that indicated he knew Grandmaster Zenoia, Ery asked, "Do you know her? Please tell what you know about her. Who is she?"
"Hehehe... You don't need to know… not now at least."
"I will tell you when you are ready."
Ery frowned when he saw the dragon refusing to answer his question. Starting from the High Priestess to this dragon, why did these mighty figures like to talk in riddles? Their deanor truly brought a headache to him.
"I see you are doing really well there. I see you also got the item I asked. Very good."
After he said that, Ery could feel the probing finally stopped. At the sa ti, he returned back to the massive room, facing the dragon.
"Now show the item."
Ery took out the Void Crystal from the bag and showed it in his hand.
He then felt a force that wanted to take the crystal away, but he held it tight as if he wasn't willing to give the dragon.
Ery's questionable action made the dragon confused. At that mont, Ery decided to say his piece.
"Killgragah, with all due respect, it was very hard for to get this. Honestly, you didn't really give much information. Your quest is not easy at all... I even needed to figure out a way to fix the stone formation by myself. Therefore, I hope to be rewarded handsoly for this."
Ery thought Killgragah would be angry or offended by his words, but instead of doing those things, the dragon laughed.
"Hahaha. kid… The whole thing was a test. If you couldn't even do those small things, then you wouldn't deserve to be the master of Khaos"
Ery frowns hearing about another freaking test. He hated it, did the dragon really try to get this item which was worth a fortune from him for free?
As if knowing Ery thinking, the dragon continue with sothing that startle him
"Anyway... that crystal you got kid… it was never for or Khaos. It's prepare for you, kid."
