ancestor

F*** seriously, that's why I don't believe in any so-called foolproof schemes, if someone going to include me in any strategy then in that strategy definitely something problematic going to happen.

And In the case of this plan, I am the one who create it and also I am the one who executes it, so it was bound to crash.

Well, all hope is not lost yet.

[ hey, Gnosis is there any way to solve this problem? ]

< Affirmative this formation has two stages, the master has to solve both stages at one time for breaching that formation, there is a pattern in the first step that can be effortlessly solved with the current condition of the master. >

[ and what about the second stage? ]

< negative Master needs a specific type of blood to crack the second layer of formation, that is why it is not possible with the Master's current state to breach the formation >

[ Hey, what about my blood, this office room belongs to Baron, so at least we won't require Dragon's blood right? ]

< affirmative there is a high possibility that the blood of the master is similar to the blood type we need. >

I bit my finger and put my hand on the magic formation.

[then use it now]

after I said those words the red circle with geometric patterns started to rotate in front of my eyes. with the sound of stones hitting each other the wall in front of me starts splitting up into two parts from the epicenter of that red circle. After the separation of the wall, a rectangular door is formed.

'f*** a secret door to a secret treasure chamber, all of my family's gold and mana stone I'm coming for you.'

Suppressing the excitement that was rising in my body when I thought about the various items held in Baron's Treasure Chamber, I began moving into the Treasure Chamber through that rectangular gate.

After passing the entrance gate, I found myself in a yellow-illuminated room whose vicinity is larger than my bedroom and just slightly less than Beran's office, which is just ahead of it.

But there is only one safe kept in this whole room, which makes this room a bit eerie.

Taking all the strange thoughts out of my mind, I look at the safe with a sharp eye.

Putting my hand in my sack I take out a stone from my pocket,

throwing it towards the vault l confirm that there is no trap between me and the crypt. after everything confirms I run toward the locker in the same way a lover runs toward his beloved after seeing her.

I placed my hand on the vault door and without any difficulty, with the help of Gnosis I neutralized the magic formation on the vault door and opened it.

but in instant.

Alarm bells started ringing in my ears and all of my senses goes into full alert mode, and a feeling of danger fastened my whole body.

I felt like my head was going to explode.

And then I heard Gnosis's voice, which as always sound completely unfazed by all this.

< notification a mind-control magic formation has been detected inside this chamber, the magic formation is trying to control the master's mind, does the master want to repeal this magic formation's invasion? >

[ just do it, you idiot ]

the sensation of relief spread all over my body, similar to what someone would feel if he got water in a desert.

I was just feeling the solace of being saved from my sudden demise when I heard another voice inside my head.

( how did you do it, kid )

Yep, it's not Gnosis, but it sounds just like that old man in everyone's neighborhood who chatters about everything from politics to the economy and gets all that's incorrect every time.

( who are you and how did you get into my mind )

I asked the old man's voice coming from my mind, that too in a cheap scared voice.

( No, first you tell me, kid, how did you evade my magic formation, I created this formation to capture a suitable host after my death, but how can you who is not even awakened yet nullify it?)

( 'Huh' What )

`cough!`

`cough!`

'Am I hearing someone cough in my head, it's getting truly creepy'

( Kid, I created this formation in this space to find my successor and nullify this formation you have passed this trial, and as your ancestor, I declare you the new head of the Mellark household, and also declare you as my successor. )

( But then what about what you are saying before? )

( It was just the muttering consciousness of a man who died hundreds of years ago,

As your ancestor, I will never do anything to harm you. Trust me, once upon a time, I was just a commoner but I create this noble house on my strength.

if you going to follow me, then I am going to make sure that you become one of the strongest people in all the five kingdoms, with my help you can even surpass the so-called members of all royal families.

now kid removes this protective barrier of yours so that I can give you the knowledge I have accumulated over the years, Hurry up the longer you delay, the more I will lose my power. )

( if you say so then okay )

< Affirmative, the master has found a remnant consciousness of an intelligent being soul, does the master want to use soulless to capture this essence of the intelligent being soul? >

( do it Gnosis )

and then I only heard the screams of my so-called ancestor.

I just can't figure out if this old man is simply an idiot or, he is someone who has worse luck than me.

like Seriously, that magic formation could have been activated on anyone, but this formation activates on me who has a mind protection ability and another ability that can catch the essence of the soul.
