"I don't have any grudges against you, why are you chasing me?!" Isha looked at the four young men in front of her, furrowing her brows. Her priestess robe was already stained with blood, and the once revealing garment had become tattered, revealing her delicate skin. However, the horrific wounds marred her beauty.
"You are close to the goddess, so you must know some secrets about the Dragon God's realm, right?" one of the young men, the leader, said. The main difference between them, outsiders, and the locals, like Anzu, in this realm was their lack of information. They only had seven days to acquire any valuable treasures in this space.
Therefore, when they saw Isha, they immediately thought of another way to achieve their goals - capture Isha and force her to lead them to the treasure within the Dragon God's realm. As they gazed at Isha's delicate figure, their desires were unconcealed. If Isha fell into their hands, it wouldn't be as simple as just leading the way.
"... " Isha fell silent. She had already deduced the intentions of the four individuals in front of her. Even if she were to reveal some information about the inner workings of the space she was in, they would not spare her. The only option she had now was to fight and escape. It would be best if she could reach the place where the goddess resided, where they wouldn't dare do anything to her.
However, Isha knew her chances of success were slim. While she could easily defeat any one of them in a one-on-one battle, it would be much more difficult to fight all four of them at once. Her chances of successfully escaping were less than ten percent.
But just as Isha was contemplating her escape, one of the four suddenly widened his eyes. A brilliant blue warblade pierced through his chest from behind, causing blood to spray. As the young man fell to the ground, a black figure was revealed behind him.
The other three young men were horrified. Bexia's appearance was seemingly out of thin air, and she had killed one of their companions. This sent shivers down their spines, and instinctively, all three of them quickly retreated, keeping their distance from the black-robed figure.
However, the black-robed figure gave them no chance. A dark aura swirled around his robe, exuding an eerie presence. One of the young men was on guard, but who would have expected the black-robed figure to suddenly appear behind him? With a swing of his warblade, it tore through the young man's body, causing his eyes to widen in shock and horror. Even in death, his eyes were filled with terror.
"Let's go, elder. We shall leave!" the remaining two young men were terrified. They were already struggling to keep up here, and yet, this person in front of them could teleport?! Moreover, he attacked ruthlessly. They had no fighting spirit left and knew they were no match for him. They immediately begged for mercy while crushing a scroll that increased their speed, before sprinting away.
However, before he could take more than a few steps, the black-robed figure caught up with him. Even with the speed boost from the scroll, it was futile under the five times gravity environment. What difference would it make if he was a little faster?
Seeing another one of their comrades die, the last young man decisively crushed the Great Dragon Token. Compared to the treasures inside it, his own life was more important. As the token shattered, an energy enveloped him, and in the blink of an eye, the young man's body disappeared.
Isha was stunned as she watched the massacre before her eyes. Three people were killed within a few breaths. When she saw the powerful figure in the black robe approaching her, Isha picked up her heavy sword and watched him warily. Because she didn't remember having such a person in her team, which meant that the person in front of her was an outsider.
"It's me, sister Isha!" Bexia pulled down her black cloak, revealing her face. This surprised Isha even more because she couldn't have expected the person in front of her to be Bexia.
"It's you!"
"How did you get in?"
"Of course, I got in with my strength!" Bexia took out the Great Dragon Token and waved it in her hand, while asking, "I remember greeting the church members before. Why didn't Sis Dragon respond to me?"
You see, as soon as Bexia arrived in Anzu, she had the receptionist report to Long Momo on her behalf, but there had been no response.
"Goddess has been in seclusion, so it's normal not to receive any information. In preparation for this battle, Goddess cut off contact with the outside world!" Isha explained.
"Then where is Sis Dragon now?" Bexia put away the Great Dragon Token.
"Goddess should be in the trial grounds. The trial is about to begin!" Isha didn't hide anything. Long Momo had told her in Mandela that among the few people she brought, the only one she could fully trust was Bexia. So Isha had very little wariness towards Bexia because she trusted Goddess's judgment.
"The trial grounds?!" Bexia speculated that it might be the place where she would undergo the inheritance test. At the same time, she looked at Isha's body and gathered a faint white light in her hands, throwing it onto her.
"Light of healing!"
"Thank you!" Isha felt her body recovering and expressed her gratitude.
"Let's talk while we walk! We still have some distance to the trial grounds from here!" Isha put away her sword and put on a church robe, covering up her exposed body. When Bexia glanced at her just now, her face couldn't help but turn slightly red.
"The trial grounds are the only way to enter the Inheritance Dragon Palace, the core area of the Dragon God Space, and also the most dangerous place with countless dragon beasts..." Isha explained as they walked. Bexia asked some questions from time to time and gained some understanding of the entire trial grounds. It could be said that the trial grounds were like a barrier surrounding the Dragon God Palace, and those dragon beasts had various transformations caused by the power of the Dragon God Palace.
To enter the Dragon God Palace, it was necessary to fight these dragon beasts and go through a certain procedure. Besides having the "ticket" of dragon bloodline, it also required a large amount of Dragon Power Essence to open the entrance of the Dragon God Palace.
And these dragon beasts were actually the monsters Bexia had encountered before. After they died, their bodies would turn into Dragon Power Essence. The stronger the dragon beast, the more Dragon Power Essence it would produce, and the more effective it would be!
Isha even mentioned that if one could kill champion-level dragon beasts, they would obtain something called the "Dragon Soul Essence," which was extremely powerful. It could greatly improve one's physique and enhance the purity of the dragon bloodline. However, this "Dragon Soul Essence" had only appeared once in the history of the church.
