As Max calmed his thoughts and wanted to ask something, The rest of the altars flashed with bright lights, and Two more figures appeared on them.
A boy who looked around 25 years old, in golden robes; his hair was long and tied into a high bun. He had an arrogant look on his face as he looked around.
Then there was a bearded man with a muscular body in black armour, and a black sword was hung on his waist. He looked like a warrior of war movies. He didn't have any expression on his face.
Two of them looked around for a few seconds, and just like Schwartz and the woman in pink, they seemed to know why they were suddenly here as their eyes didn't reflect any confusion but instead glowed with excitement.
The bearded man in black armour glanced at Max for a second, and when he looked at Schwartz, he paused for a bit longer and then moved on to look at the woman in pink. When he looked at her, a serious look appeared on his face, just like Schwartz had before. After that, he closed his eyes with a calm expression without saying anything. 'It seems it won't be as easy to get the legacy as I thought.'
However, the same was not true for the arrogant looking guy in golden robes. When he looked at the bearded man and Schwartz, he didn't say anything, but when his eyes landed on Max, he sneered, "Tch, What luck! But don't get too complacent pretty boy; with you being as weak as an ant, there isn't any hope of acquiring this legacy. The only outcome for you will be death." He seemed to disdain Max, but everyone could feel that he was feeling jealous. It was not clear whether it was because of Max's luck or something else.
'What the fuck...! Does this guy have any screw loose? What kind of crappy attitude is that? Why do you care whether I live or die?' Max thought as anger threatened to erupt inside of him.
He couldn't bear the disdain and mockery anymore. He didn't care whether he was weak or not compared to him. He just couldn't accept someone mocking him after what he experienced when he found out about Jacob and Alison and when he woke up in Garfield manor and had to endure his siblings' sneers and mockery. He had enough of it already. Although he didn't have anything noteworthy in his past life, but he had his pride. He never put up with anyone's mockery in his life.
Just as he was about to curse him in the face, The woman who had her eyes closed until now spoke coldly, "Can't you just shut up and stop spewing out nonsense just to satisfy your vanity? I feel pity for your parents seeing your attitude. Sigh...!"
The boy in golden robes, who for some reason was already irritated after looking at Max, turned to her in anger. When was the last time when he was insulted like that? But when he looked at her, his eyes burned with lust. He stared at her body as if he could see through her clothes.
His eyes didn't stop staring at her body as he said arrogantly, "Who are you to dare to talk to me like that? Do you know who I am? If you want to live, kneel down and apologise and be my slave, I'll treat you well, or you will have a tough life ahead."
Just he stopped speaking; it felt like the temperature in the cave fell by several folds in an instant. Schwartz and the bearded man looked at the boy with pity.
"What a naive kid. It's true that newborn calf, don't fear tiger." Schwartz sighed.
The woman was stunned after the boy stopped speaking, but in the next instant, her expression became ice-cold, and her figure exuded a tremendous murderous aura.
The boy's expression froze when he felt such a strong murderous aura. He finally realised that he had made a mistake which might cost him his life. The reason for him to think like this was because he could feel himself unable to even move a muscle after being hit by her aura. Unfortunately, he was late to realise his mistake.
"What did you just say? You want me to become your slave?" A cold and enraged voice sounded in his ears.
Just as he was about to apologise, he felt his body temperature getting higher and higher as if a fire was ignited inside his body. His skin turned red, and burning pain coursed through his body. Even though he was also a fire elemental mage and had very good control over the element, his strength of a four-star mage wasn't worth mentioning in front of her, who was about to break through to the six-star mage realm. He even couldn't see how she attacked, let alone try and resist it.
In an instant, The pain became intolerable, and steam started rising from his skin as a burning smell permeated. He screamed, "H-Hey, stop! I'm sorry for what I just said. Stop! Don't kill me; otherwise, my Royal family won't let you go. Ahhhh- stop... stop..."
"Ohh, so you are a prince of some kingdom. It's fine. Let me see what your kingdom can do to me after I kill you." The woman in pink said in a bone-chilling voice as she controlled the heat inside his body. Her expression clearly stated that she really wanted to kill him now.
Just as she was about to turn him into ashes, a voice sounded in the cave. "It's prohibited to fight in the legacy grounds."
Following the voice, the boy who was writhing in pain till now relaxed visibly as his temperature returned to normal. He panted like a dog to catch his breath and looked at the woman with fear and hate. He gritted his teeth and mumbled, "Just you wait slut. Soon enough, you'll be begging for your life."
"Um?"
The woman in pink ignored him and looked at the one who negated her attack. Schwartz and others also looked toward the source of the voice. A blurry silhouette was slowly floating toward them.
After a few seconds, The silhouette became visible for all to see. He was a middle-aged man who looked around 40 years of age. He wore shining crimson robes.
