Although the use of spiritual power was prohibited, Ash and the other three cooperated with each other and with the help of the collection, they easily cleared out the group of soul hounds.
After the soul hounds died, they turned into a pool of light blue light. After all the soul hounds died, these light halos gathered into three light groups of different sizes. There was no need for textual explanations. The magicians knew what they represented at a glance.
The fluffy ball of light on the left is the miracle "Restore Soul", which is to replenish the soul energy consumed by the magicians. It is the smallest in size, which means the next level is easy;
The light ball in the middle is the two-winged magic spirit's 'first soul', which means that if the magician chooses this light ball, his 'first soul' magic spirit will directly advance to the second wing. Its size is medium, which means the difficulty of the next level is normal;
The light group on the right is shining brightly, representing a certain amount of soul faction realm experience. Its volume is the largest, indicating that the next level is difficult!
Ash and the others immediately realized that the style of this inheritance was the naked survival of the fittest. Of the three options, the soul experience was undoubtedly the most valuable, but the risk was also the greatest; if one wanted to choose the option with the lowest risk, then one could only recover the soul, which was equivalent to no gain.
And you don't need to ask to know that the next level is more difficult than the previous one no matter what. Just restoring the soul without any improvement in combat power is nothing but a dead end of drinking poison to quench thirst.
However, Ash and the others were still in good condition at this time, so he looked at the middle and right side, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Weiser, go get the reward on the right."
Weisser was a little surprised: "Me?"
"After all, you are a genius who is proficient in more than 20 spells. You are more likely to enter the soul faction." Ash looked at the sword lady and the witch for their opinions. The latter had no objection: "Resources should be allocated to the most suitable people."
Weisser said nothing more and went over to touch the ball of light on the right. The moment she touched it, the other two balls of light disappeared. Then, eight huge and ferocious harpies appeared around the hall. They attacked together, accompanied by howling winds, and their sharp eagle claws were like blades!
Ash and the others hurriedly responded to the battle. At this time, Weisser controlled a harpy and suddenly said, "I see, no wonder the Ghost Heritage allows us to form a team."
"What?"
"Sixteen soul hounds and eight harpies. This is definitely not the normal configuration for the inheritance test. The number of enemies will probably increase as our number increases, but there is only one reward after clearing the level. In other words, if the magicians want to form a team to pass the level, the cost will not be reduced much, but only one person can get the reward."
Ash and the others understood immediately - the Ghost Heritage didn't mind whether they formed a team of four or a hundred magicians. The difficulty of the test was proportional to the number of people anyway, and no matter how many people passed the test, only one person would get the reward.
Diya was a little puzzled: "But the Ghost Prophet designed it this way, it should be to encourage single people to take the test, so why didn't he force us to separate? He should be able to do it, right?"
Since even the magical power of spirits and spells can be sealed here, it will definitely not be a problem to separate them.
"I'm afraid I can't know the specific reason, but I can make a guess." Weisser said: "From his title 'Ghost Prophet', we can tell that he is a magician who can practice both prophecy and soul. Compared to direct combat, he is probably better at planning cooperation... Maybe he thinks that someone who can still organize magicians to overcome difficulties together under unfavorable conditions is the successor he needs."
During the conversation, they had already dealt with the harpy, but the price was that their figures became much more transparent - they had not replenished their soul energy, and their primordial soul spirits were constantly being depleted. Even though they had just entered the virtual realm for less than an hour, half of their soul energy had been consumed.
This time, three more balls of light appeared, namely "Restoring Soul", "Ghost Manual" and "Leave"!
That’s right, “leaving” is also a reward! Ash and the others are in the Ghost Legacy and cannot return to reality!
"This ghost prophet is probably a sorcerer." Sonia suddenly said.
Ash and Weisser nodded silently. Diya was a little puzzled: "Why? He left behind a legacy, shouldn't he be a good magician?"
"If it is a legacy left by a good magician, it should not endanger the magician's life. Even if the magician fails the test, at most he will suffer some losses." Sonia explained: "But for this ghost legacy, if you don't choose "leave" in the reward, you may not be able to return to reality if you die in the test, and your soul will be eaten by the monster! Indifference to life is a common characteristic of evil magicians."
"The cowardly will be stopped, the reckless will die, only the magicians with wisdom, courage, and ability are qualified to pass all the levels and inherit his treasures!"
Ash said: "Compared like this, although the dramatic poet was a bit weird, the heritage he left behind will only help the future generations."
Compared with the Ghost Prophet, the inheritance of the Drama Poet is much more humane. Regardless of which Drama Poet's inheritance, the magician can choose - whether to take it, which one to take, and how to take it. The autonomy is always in the hands of the magician. The Drama Poet is like a naughty older brother. Although the magicians may laugh and cry, they are not afraid of him.
But the Ghost Prophet sealed their magic power as soon as he arrived, and used the threat of death to screen qualified talents, just like the mastermind behind the battle royale. Just from the design of the inheritance, we can see the difference in the humanity of these two high-level magicians.
Diya suddenly became nervous: "Then let's leave quickly?"
Among the four of them, the witch sister was probably the most cowardly one - not only was she afraid of death for Ash, but more importantly, she was sure that as long as she followed the plan, it would only be a matter of time before she became a legend. More importantly, it didn't matter even if she was a sanctuary for her whole life, after all, she was still the queen of the kingdom of gospel!
"No." Ash pointed at the "Ghost Handbook": "I think you all want to choose that one, right?"
Sonia and Weisser nodded immediately - if they guessed correctly, this might be the magician's manual for demigod angels!
Even if I can't learn anything, it's worth it just to see what gossip and secrets the demigod magician has!
But everyone was actually a little confused. After all, could a magician's manual from a demigod angel be obtained so easily? Could it be a pirated copy?
When Ash chose this reward, they immediately entered the third level of the test. Eight fish-slaying dragons suddenly appeared around them. Now Fiora, Enchantress, and Ash were all excited and greeted the fish-slaying dragons with smiles on their faces.
After dealing with the group of fish-slaying dragons, they didn't look at the new rewards, but read the Ghost Manual together. As expected, this was not the real magician's manual, but it was not a pirated version either. It just... had no bottom.
"Ghost Handbook"
"I passed the Road of Origin and reached the top of Ruby Mountain, where I met the legendary angel. Just as the legend says, the angel wanted me to give him the first half of my life - that is, to write the first half of my magician's manual."
"Perhaps He is expecting me to write about the turbulent first half of my life, but my writing is so dull that I can only give a brief summary."
"This is actually my second life. In my previous life, I was promoted to the Holy Realm at the age of 87, but luckily I got the core inheritance of Liuli Shizhu. Unfortunately, I was besieged and could only activate the one-time god 'Second Round' on the spot to start my second life."
"I knew the future well, so I took away all the property and left before the disaster befell my family. Then I successively seized the soul inheritance of the 'Soul Walker' and the prophecy inheritance of the 'Looker'. With the knowledge from my previous life, I quickly gathered the resources for cultivation, and killed those geniuses who might hinder me in advance. Unfortunately, the inheritance of the Glazed Time Master can only be inherited once in all timelines, and I will never have the chance to inherit the greatest time inheritance."
"In the exploration of the virtual realm, although many people say that the 'Road of Origin' has become extinct, from now on magicians can only climb the virtual realm by improving the realm of their factions. The Road of Origin paved by the Golden Fish, the Colorful Tail, and the Lost Dream is no longer the same as before."
"But I know that there is actually one last group of silver-scaled fishmen in the Sea of Knowledge. After killing them and condensing their fish scales into the second silver wing, I successfully found the golden fish and reached the Continent of Time through the Road of Origin."
"Only three colors of the seven-color tails remain on the Time Continent. The other four colors have been lost, or are in the hands of demigods, or in the hands of gods. Theoretically, I can no longer gather all the seven-color tails and follow the path of origin like the ancient magicians did."
"But I know that the four colors will not disappear, they just hide in another form, and I know where they are hidden. After successfully collecting the seven colors, I grabbed the seven-color tail and came to the distant space."
"The Lost Dream is the most difficult. To get the Lost Dream of ancient times, you only need to obtain the 'Enter the Dream' spirit from the 'Dreamland', and then feed it with the materials Wind Wound, Flower Language, Snow Scattered Flowers, and Moon Crystal, and you can transform the 'Enter the Dream' spirit into the 'Losed Dream' spirit, and then embark on the path of origin and reach the Ruby Mountain!"
"But now the Dreamland has become the forbidden territory of the Nightmare Angels, and the Sanctuary magicians cannot enter at all. More importantly, Wind Wounds and Flower Languages are no longer born, and the magicians can only find Snow Scattered Flowers and Moon Crystals at most. It is impossible to feed the Colorless Dream Magician."
"However, the ancient Four Pillars must have the Wind Wound and the Flower Language, so I joined the Four Pillars and tried to obtain these two materials. I successfully fed the Colorless Dream Spirit, walked the path of origin, and came to the top of Ruby Mountain."
"This is probably my only chance to stand on the top of the mountain. From now on, I can only climb up from the bottom."
"The angel was a little surprised to see me coming. He said that no one has walked the Road of Origin recently. According to his time scale, the most recent time he mentioned was probably within a hundred years."
“So I wrote this half of the manual as a gift to Him.”
"To the angel of Ruby Mountain."
"——The necromancer, Dolok Milahorn."
