Max Level is 100? I Can Upgrade All skill s to Lv99999!-Chapter 217 --Is an Inheritance Item Bestowed by a God??
"Got it!"
A faint smile lifted the corners of Caelan’s lips as he swiftly stored part of the Boundary Monolith inside his storage space.
At first, his target had been the White Ape race. Later, when he went to the Taimei Phoenix Clan, he had casually taken a bit of their Boundary Monolith as well—and even picked up a little singing and dancing from the enthusiastic locals there. All in all, it had been a very rewarding trip.
Now that he had obtained the Ivorykin’s Boundary Monolith, the mission could be considered complete.
All that remained now was to kill the inheritor of [Divine]!
At that thought, Caelan probed the battlefield from earlier, and his brow furrowed slightly.
He had originally assumed that after that explosion, Palmar should have been dead beyond all doubt!
But now it seemed that, as expected of an inheritor, Palmar had actually withstood that magnificent work of art.
But... that shouldn’t be possible!
Caelan frowned. Just then, his eyes fell upon the [Holy Trident], standing motionless where it was.
Wait... the Holy Trident was completely undamaged. Could this thing really have come from a god?
As Caelan stood there thinking, he suddenly noticed that the Holy Trident’s status panel had changed.
[Holy Trident (Concealed)]
[Description: After the inheritor suffers fatal damage, they will temporarily hide inside a sacred space to evade harm. This is a form of protection bestowed by a god.]
So... Palmar really wasn’t dead. He had hidden himself inside the Holy Trident?
Caelan dusted off the dirt from the corner of his clothes.
If that was the case, then it seemed he would have to wait here and catch his prey.
[Flashstep]!
In the next instant, Caelan’s figure reappeared at the very spot where his art had just bloomed.
Within the entire area, every living thing had already been completely consumed by death energy. There was not even a trace of bone dust left behind. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Only the Holy Trident stood there quietly, as though it had not suffered any damage at all.
But Caelan keenly sensed that the aura of the Holy Trident had weakened considerably.
If its strength had been a 10 when Palmar first took it out, then now it was at most only a 1.
After realizing this, a trace of disdain flashed across Caelan’s face.
Tch. I thought gods were supposed to be amazing. So this is all they amount to?
Still... should he find a way to force Palmar out? If the guy just kept hiding, Caelan would never be able to complete his mission.
With that in mind, Caelan suddenly drew the longsword in his hand and once again used a [Deathborn King] transformation card.
In the next instant, his sword was instantly wreathed in the aura of death.
Caelan could even sense that the Holy Trident was trembling ever so slightly!
It was only a weapon. Could it really feel fear too??
Caelan narrowed his eyes, then said in a grave tone,
"If you don’t want to be destroyed, spit your master out. You should know I’m capable of it!"
Truthfully, Caelan himself was not even sure whether the Holy Trident could actually understand what he was saying. He had only spoken on impulse.
Yet in the very next moment, the Holy Trident once again blossomed with brilliant sacred light.
Only this time, whether in intensity or brilliance, that light had clearly fallen by more than a whole level.
In the blink of an eye, Palmar’s figure reappeared on the ground.
He had not even had time to react before Caelan effortlessly lifted him up with one hand.
Looking at Palmar, Caelan spoke with a hint of mockery in his voice,
"So, were you planning to hide in there forever?"
Palmar immediately nodded. At this moment, his eyes were filled with pure terror.
Too terrifying. It was simply too terrifying!
That kind of overwhelming death power was not something human strength could possibly resist.
At that moment, Palmar lowered his head of his own accord, his voice thick with pleading.
"Please, let me go!"
"To win the battle of destiny, you don’t necessarily have to kill me. If you just take the Holy Trident, it will still count!"
"For the battle of destiny, the most important thing is the inheritance item, so you really can let me go. Really!"
Hearing Palmar’s plea, Caelan froze for a moment.
He suddenly realized that Palmar seemed to know more about the battle of destiny than he did.
Which meant Palmar probably had a lot of valuable information.
At that thought, Caelan gave up, for the moment, on killing him outright.
After all, to Caelan, Palmar was no longer much of a threat. The real danger always came from the unknown. And the Supreme Staff side always deliberately withheld the most crucial information, which meant Caelan needed to gather some of it himself.
So he immediately said,
"If you want me not to kill you, that’s not impossible. But you must tell me everything you know about inheritors and inheritance items!"
Palmar’s expression froze slightly when he heard the demand.
At first, he had intended to refuse. But before the words could even leave his mouth, he felt a cold sensation press against his neck.
Even with his knees, he could figure out that it was Caelan’s sword.
So Palmar immediately said,
"Fine. I can tell you everything I know, as long as you don’t kill me. But how can you guarantee that? After all, I’m currently—"
Before he could finish, Caelan impatiently raised a hand and cut him off.
"What’s with all the nonsense? Do you think you still have a choice??"
A look of despair appeared on Palmar’s face.
Then he let out a long sigh and said,
"Fine. Ask, then."
Caelan thought for a moment before asking his first question.
"What else do you know about the battle of destiny?"
Palmar pondered briefly, then replied,
"The battle of destiny is a conflict between the inheritors of the Chosen One from past generations and the Chosen One of the current era. As for why such a battle exists, I don’t know. I only know that it has something to do with destiny."
Destiny?
A thoughtful look flashed through Caelan’s eyes.
After a moment, he asked again,
"Is there any specific explanation of what destiny actually means?"
Palmar immediately shook his head and answered firmly,
"No. I only heard it from Lord God, but as for what exactly it refers to, no divine revelation was ever given."
A god?
Caelan’s brows lifted slightly, and he instantly realized the key point of the matter. So he followed up at once,
"The god you’re talking about—who is it? And the [Holy Trident]—where did you get it from??"
That question caught Palmar off guard.
He instinctively asked in return,
"Aren’t all inheritance items bestowed by the gods??"
"That shouldn’t be possible. Her Excellency Velani once said that the gods bestow inheritance items and assign missions along with them. You don’t even know that??"
