The Heir of the God of Death
Chapter 88's

I walked and passed all these suffering people.

"What's really going on here?"

I continued to walk aimlessly while looking around, for a moment, a long white chain suddenly appeared from my chest, which meant that there was my predecessor around here.

"Finally appearing too, means my predecessor is around here."

I followed the long direction of this white chain and until at the end of that chain, I saw a boy who looked almost dead, looked very thin and saw his condition he had difficulty moving his body.

"What is he...my predecessor? But..."

I was so shocked to see this painful state of affairs, seeing the helpless little boy and nobody by his side.

"Seeing the circumstances, it seems that this place is in a state of war."

I can think of it this way, because on the way I saw people dressed in makeshift armor and spears, shields and swords underneath.

"If the state of war goes on then the available food supply may be very little. So that his people must suffer because of this war as well."

After knowing the circumstances, it looks like this little boy is trying to get up which means he does not want to die like this.

"Huk.. huk...!"

He coughed and looked as if blood was coming out of his mouth. He tried to get up while holding the wall of the house next to him.

"Eghh! I.. I must. live..."

He said as he limped, I was very concerned to see how he was. But since I am only a free spirit that cannot interfere in reality, I can only observe it.

He walked on while holding the wall beside him, while walking his steps stopped because there were three people dressed like a medieval Arab, with a face cover that only shows his eyes are open and a cloth that covers his head.

The little boy just stared at the people blankly, and one of the people looked at the little boy carefully as well.

"What's the Chairman?" Ask the wrong person next to the person who is looking at the little boy carefully.

"This child is so great" said the man, watching the dying child in front of him.

His two subordinates looked at each other and showed their astonishment towards his chairman who was interested in this dead man.

The chairman came forward and faced the child who was panting while walking while holding the wall beside him. The chief lowered his head and their eyes stared at each other without the slightest hesitation between them.

"What's your name, son?"

The little boy was silent for a while, as the adult in front of him invited him to speak.

"Name? I. I don't have a name."

Hearing that made the chairman go wide for a while and smile behind the cloth mouthpiece.

"So yes, I understand," said the chairman as he rose from his bow. "Do you want to come with us, son?"

Hearing the invitation made this little boy a little surprised and asked :

"What... can I. get food?"

Hearing that innocent question only made the chairman smile and answer his question.

"You'll get plenty of food when you come with us."

Hearing that made the little boy excited with his little energy, the moment he tried to move his legs towards his helper, he suddenly fell into a loss of consciousness.

Hap!

Shortly before his tiny, thin body touched the ground, the chief caught himself and lifted his light body as a pile of cotton wool and carried it with him.

"Chairman, why would you bother taking care of this dying child?"

"Wouldn't this kid just hinder our mission here, if brought with us."

Hearing the complaints of his two subordinates, making the chairman's decision not to waver in the slightest to bring this child with him, he knew the concerns of his subordinates that this could interfere with the course of their mission later.

"You don't have to worry, even if our mission fails here but at least we managed to bring its greatest gift in this place with us" said the chairman as he looked at the child he was carrying.

Hearing that answer only made his two subordinates only raise both of their eyebrows and do not know the way of mind of this chairman.

After seeing this sad event happen to my predecessor, I was a little happy to see these people helping him.

"If such a state of dying anyone could be considered an angel for helping him, even a cruel criminal could be considered an angel if he succeeded in helping the dying man."

Seeing the state of this place that is very sad makes me have to be grateful for not being born in this age.

Bing!

Suddenly a blinding light appeared, which meant that I would be sent somewhere else from here.

...•••...

...•••...

...•••...

Bing!

"Huh? I'm back here."

I was quite surprised, for I returned to the place where ten stairs were. I turned around and saw that the stairs I had run down earlier had been destroyed and could not be climbed anymore.

"Means that every floor exam is finished then the floor stairs have been destroyed huh. After thinking about how long I've been here, the time in the world that the system makes is very unclear, because the time I was in Hades took a few hours to get out, while in Purgatory it took me a week to get out. How long have I been here? I promised I'd be back at night."

Given it makes thinking that completing the test of this system will speed up the time to be able to get out, but I think it would be different if I went back in time and how long it took me in the past.

I immediately stepped onto one of the stairs, right in front of the stairs my steps stopped and turned around temporarily.

"If I come back here, I don't see Cetus at all. Is he back in his place?"

I wondered to myself and the guards like Cetus were very mysterious, because he was the third person I met without feeling the slightest bit of life energy.

Since I had little time, I immediately stepped my foot up the stairs and climbed it to the top. At the same time it also appeared that someone from a distance was watching this young man.

"I don't think this kid only took a short time to be able to adapt half his strength. But the road is still long and the time is very little."

...•••...

On the floor of Atlantis...

Having made it to the end of this ladder, I was once again amazed at what I saw. It looks like a place that I think is great.

"Wow, only this time did I see a place like this in person."

It also looks like the cities in general that are out there, only seen from the technology they use much more advanced.

[Welcome to the ruins of Atlantis.]

"Atlantis?" Look once again at this place to make sure that the ancient city in these history books is a little different from the shadows that are often told in general. "It's no wonder why there's such advanced technology here, so it's the city of Atlantis that's often told about it."

While looking at this place, I walked without direction and was alert that there would be traps like the previous floor.

"This time there's nothing. Though there should be many traps here, considering this city is very sophisticated."

I continued to carefully step my legs and walk forward. But it's very strange, because there's not the slightest danger of coming here.

Snacks...

"Hm? What'sthat?"

Suddenly I heard something and it seemed like danger had been lurking around me.

"Grprgh...!"

Norum felt this strange thing as well and I took it out of my body. And only Norum can I call my help here, because the previous floor's prohibition rules still apply on this floor as well.

"You feel it too, my friend."

"Woof! Grrgh...!"

Snag! Snag!

The voice was getting clear and I felt that he was approaching us, but his presence was not felt at all.

"There's no other way like this... Guys!"

"Grrh...! Www...!"

[Partner has used the skill "Step of death".]

For a moment Norum's dilated death field spread rapidly as far as seven meters. With this we could both quickly sense a presence entering this field.

Snag! Snag! Phew!

Suddenly an invisible attack came at me and a figure that sounded the voices appeared.

"I finally showed up too and I never thought it would be this much."

"Grrh..."

I was a little surprised to see the figure of these creatures that looked like humans with two legs and hands, but half of its body resembled a fish with scales and fins appearing on its body.

[People of Atlantis

Level : 48.]

"So they're all residents here huh."

But something strange as well, I felt their gazes alive but on the other hand I felt they were like remote control puppets.

"Hehe, this system is great."

I looked around me and saw from their level an average of 40 more and only a few of them reached 60.

Shut! Phew!

One arrow attack from him and that means the battle has begun.

Errgh...!

[Targets exposed to the effect of "Death." All target HP and MP will be reduced by 1% per second, as long as the target does not exit the "Death" region]

[The effect of "Death" has been given to you and the Partner as an increase in all stats.]

"You want to play shootouts, then I'll play along too."

It was difficult to get close to them even though they had been affected by the effects of death, but their movements were very agile.

Dor's! Dor's! Dor's!

I managed to hit a few of them and there was a dead shot once hit by this.

"How many times have I shot, my mana has not diminished in the least. Is this gun system-specific?"

I tried to activate the dark red ball that was stuck under the handle of the gun.

Bing!

A moment of flaming suddenly the abundant Mana energy from the gun gathered at one point and was ready to be released.

Dor's! The bomb!!

I was very surprised to see it, because the explosion from this gun shot was very large even though there were only a few injections of Mana that I gave.

"Different from this scythe, I just need to slightly give my Mana to this gun to deal great damage."

But the difference between a sickle and a pistol is their respective advantages, that a sickle can do great damage even if the Mana consumption is very large to activate the red ball, he said, while this gun provides small damage if the long distance and damage will be enlarged if the target gets closer.

"Because there's not much time, then we have to get this sorted out quickly, man."

"Grgh..."

The set! The set!

Norum and I went straight ahead against all of them, although some of them chose to stay away while giving a long-range attack.

Shut! Phew! Phew!

The set!

We managed to dodge it, my scythe and Norum's sharp claws had managed to kill some of them.

Swooshes...! Cracks!

A slash! A slash! Cracks!

Although we managed to beat some of them, it really made us a little overwhelmed. In addition to winning numbers, they are also very agile and difficult to predict the direction of attack from various directions considering they are very compact.

Shut! Phew!

Suddenly an arrow came towards me.

"Basic bastard!"

Bing!

Dor's! The bomb!!

Successfully overcoming their long distance Dealer Damage, I again faced those who fought this melee who used the spear as their weapon.

"Conditioning."

[Buff has been given, now STR, AGI, and VIT are increased by 20% in six-minute brackets.]

"Harrgh...!!"

Jlab! Jlab! Cracks!

Norum who was pressed and raided simultaneously made him have to use his skill "Dead Thorn" to protect himself while giving an attack to his opponent.

The tring! The tring!

Shut! Phew! Phew!

I had to keep attacking while dodging their long-range attacks, and this really made my stamina start to decrease.

"Damn!!"

Egh...!

[Target has been exposed to the effects of fear for 60 seconds and its defense has decreased by 50%.]

Some of these enemies were successfully exposed to my skill "The presence of death" which made it difficult for them to move some time.

Swooshes...! Cracks!

Aaaa!!!

Bing!

Dor's! The bomb!!

"Well.. huh.. Where did they come from? The number doesn't decrease one bit."

Shut! Phew! Phew!

They didn't give me a little break.

"What's that?"

Dodging their attack, my attention suddenly turned towards a bright light like the sun just above our heads.

Because it feels strange with the light that does not dazzle the eyes despite being stared at for how long.

Dor's!

Aaaa...!!!

I shot upwards and at this moment the occupants felt this pain.

"So this is why they keep coming up."

The set!

I immediately jumped up and gathered 70% of my Mana into the scythe and was ready to slash at the light.

Swosh!!!

Jrang! Jrang!

A moment managed to be slashed with the strongest possible, instantly the light disappeared and the color of the sky returned like an ocean again.

Taps!

I saw that the occupants had disappeared completely, we were both completely overwhelmed by the immortal being.

"So it's an illusion, or isn't it? It's very real and could hurt me too or worse kill me."

Dun...!

Suddenly something appeared from the ground and there appeared a small altar and a small object on it.

"Finally it's done too."

I went straight to the altar and without any hesitation, as I felt that there was no trap on this altar.

Bing!!

A moment of touching the small object, it suddenly glowed and made my vision temporarily blind.

...•••...

...•••...

...•••...

"Again?"

Suddenly I was in a strange place again and this time I was in a very luxurious and slightly dark room.

"Who are they?"

I saw a fat man and a woman with, they were both naked and covered in bedding.

Taps... Taps... Taps...

"Hm?"

His steps were as light as a cat and always walked in the darkness, his eyes piercing cold like ice spears, as well as a cold flash that stuck to one of his hands. He approached the two people calmly without being noticed by the brand.

The moment his hand lifted, the cold dagger was exposed to the moonlight through the small cracks of the window and shone swiftly as it lifted.

Jem! Cracks!

"Agh...! *Hup...!"

The cold mat of the little dagger had broken through the fatty man's throat without making any sound, and his mouth was instantly silenced with the stranger's warm hands.

The perfect murder is unnoticed by the person who is not involved with it. The stranger walked into the darkness again without the slightest trace and sound.

I was just astonished to see that and the woman beside the fat man woke up, feeling her body wet by something and made her come to a realization from the depths.

"Yahoo!!!"

His shout made the people in armour complete with weapons come to this room and was very surprised to see the people they were serving had been drenched in blood.

I walked out and followed this white chain, and when I came out of this house I saw that man standing quietly by the river.

"So this is my predecessor."

I saw my predecessor rinse his dagger in the river, when he finished he stood up and looked at the moon closely. After being stared at, he opened the cover of his cloth mouth and revealed his face completely.

"Huh?"

Suddenly he turned towards me, our eyes met and I wasn't sure if he could see me or he just stared at the house? One thing surprised me, he smiled and it seemed that his smile was not aimed at his victims.

Bing!

The light suddenly appeared and took me to another place.
