Sam quickly asked " Do I qualify for that inheritance ? "
The demon slightly raised it's brows at the question , but said nothing for a while before he coughed awkwardly . " You know nothing of the inheritance ? "
Sam innocently shook his head , at which the demon laughed loudly " Indeed , the young calf doesn't fear the tiger . You don't even know what you have walked into and yet you ask whether you are eligible for it . Good . Good . Good . Of course you qualify . You qualify more than enough . "
Sam was confused as he didn't understand most of what the demon said . He was instead getting angry . ' Has this old thing gone mad ? Why is he laughing so loudly ? ' Scout remained silent and even if he felt a strong urge to close his ears to avoid listening to what others may only call a bone chilling laugh , he knew the demon may spout something of high importance so he couldn't do so .
When the demon finally stopped laughing Sam sighed as he gave himself up to the inevitable trials " Are there any trials ? "
The demon laughed once more " Yes , yes there are . Coincidentally you passed 2 of them already . Do you want to continue ? Just remember every trial will be harder than the last and it is not guaranteed to have better a part than what you can have now . "
Sam instantly understood what the demon meant . Each trial qualified him for a part of the inheritance left by whoever that strong person was who left this demon here . He also understood the fact that the parts were completely randomized . He didn't want to spend more time near this blood lake or on this bone mountain . It was better for his mental health if he left as soon as possible .
" No I won't continue . " Sam said after just a moment of thought .
The demon , too stopped laughing as it said " Why aren't the youth as daring nowadays " As it shook it's huge head as it floated midair , the same as before .
Somehow , the body of the deer that seemed to be staring at Sam started floating just like the demon and towards Sam and stood just 10 meters away from him . Just like that deer made of rotting bones , 6 more skeletons came from all sides , as if blocking his escape route .
Sam felt like running away , but felt the demon release a slight pressure which held him in place .
" 7 parts . Usually only one or two would show up even for those who complete more trials . You seem to have a strong connection with my stupid master . " The demon laughed .
The deer was at it's same place and the other 6 skeletons too formed a circle around him at the radius of 10 meters .
" You may choose two . I am not allowed to tell you exactly what they are , but I can give you the categories . " The demon stopped and looked at each one of them . Sam looked at the demon waiting for him to continue when he noticed his brows barely move twice . " You are extremely lucky kid . There's a book , 2 weapons , 2 pills , some liquid and a talisman . Pick quickly and leave if you really want to . "
The demon then floated a bit to his back and stayed , waiting for Sam to make his choice .
Sam looked at the animals all around him . His sense had long since stopped working , so it was no use . ' Can you scan them ? '
[ No . ]
Sam said nothing after that . He knew 2 of the seven creatures had something worthy enough to surprise even the demon . He just didn't know which two .
He looked at each of them one by one , up to down . The deer corpse was there since the beginning . He had a hunch he had to choose it no matter what . He just didn't know why , and this had been happening to him a lot lately .
There was also a wolf which stood about 8 meter away the deer . This reminded him of the wolves he had killed as his first kills . He shook his hand and looked at the shark which was under the ground about the same distance away .
There was a turtle next , followed by a swallow , a tiger and a huge lizard .
He looked over them over once more and then once again before he finally made a decision .
" The deer and ... the lizard . " Sam said as he looked at the lizard .
The other 5 suddenly got dragged back in the directions they came from , even when they tried to resist the force , but were eventually dragged away leaving the lizard and the deer around him .
" Hmm .. Nice choice . Nice choice indeed . Not the perfect choice , but a nice choice . " The demon laughed as the floating deer and the lizard moved closer to Sam and turned into balls of light . The light balls slowly revealed the objects inside them which continued floating towards Sam .
" The Bloody heart of a mutated tier 10 blood elemental Dragon Monarch and the book containing my Master's Strongest energy circulation technique . "
