When the great trident fell in front of Minos, the surroundings shook, revealing the great weight of that thing, which, if not for the help of the Spatial Kingdom ring, he would not have been able to hold.


    But as Minos stayed on his knees, breathing fast and exhausted, the vertical tomb on that cliff began to glow in white light at the ce from where that weapon had departed.


    There was a skeleton sitting on a throne, which due to the glow in question, looked less and less ''dead'' and more and more alive.


    The Trident of the Devil then floated back to that skeleton''s right hand, while the ck mist helped to outline that being''s body as it had been in the past.


    "You don''t have much time. The curse of this ce will return to normal in a week." A voice full of depth reached Minos'' ears as that creature''s jaw moved. "When that happens, you won''t have the same ''luck'' as today."


    Minos took his eyes off his knees and looked at that seated skeleton, who was looking down at where he stood. "Who are you? Are you the God of Death?"


    "You must absorb as much of this ce as possible in this period. All my techniques are here, so leave them to learn in a second moment." The skeleton said, paying no attention to Minos'' questions.


    Unlike the Goddess of Life, he could not sense that Minos had the heritage of Henricus Longus. And since the ring of the Spatial Kingdom had long ago erased the aura of that woman''s fragment from this young man''s body, this remnant did not perceive his chosen one''s connection to his enemy.


    But not only that, the soul fragment of the God of Death that was ''inside'' that skeleton thought that the person in front of him was being controlled by the ''key'' of inheritance!


    The God of Death had left an inheritance that his chosen one would be controlled by his will. Because of this, if the inheritance werepleted, it would give him almost a chance for a second life!


    So, at the thought that the young man in front of him was partially in control of the ''key'' to the inheritance, that skeleton ignored Minos'' questions. Instead, he treated King Stuart as a part of himself he could not remember.


    To that end, he immediately began to coach Minos. "This inheritance was made so that the one able to activate a part of my powers sealed in the Trident of the Devil and put to ''sleep'' the curse here would get what I left."


    "So you have already passed my test by unleashing such formidable killing intent." Hemented, always using a cold tone but varying in his notes to hold the attention of the person listening to him.


    Minos was not surprised to hear this, considering this was a challenging requirement. He had onlypleted it because he had killed countless during the ck in''s War of Independence. He stopped the invasion of criminalsing from Albano and had the ring of the Spatial Kingdom on his side.


    But if he did not have such points in his favor, as should have been the case for most of those who arrived here, he would not have seeded and would probably be buried in this ce!


    That creature then threw three boxes in Minos'' direction.


    "The first of these boxes contain the spatial ring where the cultivation resources, artifacts, and techniques I have collected or developed throughout my life are."


    "The second contains something called the Aura of Death, a type of mist naturally found on the Peak of the End in the Divine Continent."


    ''Oh?'' Minos looked at that second box with interest, extremely pleased at thatment. ''The Aura of Death can refine killing intent and awaken a power rted to that ability in cultivators!''


    It was not easy to get some Aura of Death, as there was only one ce where this existed in the entire Spiritual World. But, at the same time, such a ce could only be safely essed by Spiritual Demigods or stronger.


    Below that level, one would have a very high chance of dying trying to explore such a region!<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    So receiving this ''gift'' from the God of Death greatly delighted King Stuart!


    "The third box contains most of my soul fragments. It will help you by raising your talent and giving you understanding." He finished his exnation while keeping in mind that he could finally verify his theory.


    The God of Death had specialized in using sacrifices to improve his strength during his lifetime. But he had concluded before he died that it might be possible for him to use his abilities to ''possess'' an heir in the future.


    He obviously would not be the same person since he had died millions of years ago. But his soul fragment couldmand a host''s body, giving him a ''second'' chance.


    And hell, if he seeded and reached level 100 this time, maybe that would be the key to him revivingpletely!


    So as he finished giving those things to Minos, the skeleton felt satisfied and could not wait to roam the Spiritual World again.


    ''When he cultivates my techniques and absorbs the soul fragment in the third box, those things will merge into the mind control behind the ''key.'' That will give me full control over his body, and it will be as if I am alive!'' He felt the part of his soul fragment outside the box, beginning to disperse.


    He then said. "Absorb the Aura of Death here. The curse here may be terrible, but it is only because of it that the Aura of Death has not dissipated outside its home of origin."


    "After that, absorb the rest of my soul fragment and try to learn my techniques..." His voice began to fade.


    "In the future, by merging two of my techniques, you will be able to replicate my innate ability... And carry my trident..."


    "Good luck..."


    After those words, the fog around the glowing skeleton dissipated. At the same time, the white glow disappeared, leaving behind a yellowish skeleton about two meters tall.


    Minos saw this and soon realized that no one else was in the area. Also, he noticed that there were some valuables inside that tomb.


    ''I will clean this ce upter. But for now, I will absorb that Aura of Death!'' His eyes sharpened as he sat in a lotus position to begin with this.


    The Aura of Death was not corrted to the God of Death, so naturally, there would be no problem for him regarding the mission Abby had received from the Goddess of Life.


    As for going pick up this wife of his, he could not do that now, or he would lose the Aura of Death.


    In any case, he and Abby just had to destroy this ce. So he would rather leave it to do thatter, after absorbing such a thing that could give him an extra ability!


    So, while he had a smile on his face, Minos opened the number two box, releasing a dark and threatening aura, which immediately reacted to him, attacking him.


    After that, he began the process of absorption!
