Holy Legacy IV

"Congratulations for passing the 8th test, because of the length of the test your the only missing from the 9th test, follow the arrows towards the ninths test chamber 2nd lobby, there you can meet with your team." Said the metallic woman voice.

As Cyra stepped inside the 2nd lobby in rugged clothing, 9 pairs of eyes instantly focused on her, she realized that 2 changes has happened the moment she came inside the room, the first was that all her Intelligence, Strength and Essence was,locked at 5 completely ignoring her bonuses, she wasn't alone everybody in her team had basic human strength.

The second change came from the Halos, their time changed until they stayed inside test chamber 9 these wouldn't reset to normal.

[1st Halo] [Fly] [∞]

[2nd Halo] [ - ]

[3rd Halo] [ - ]

[4th Halo] [ - ]

[5th Halo] [The Last Stand] [∞]

[6th Halo] [The Book of Earth] [∞ x ∞ cubic meters]

It was clear that now the only difference between them were the numbers of Halos they had, there were 1 person with 9 Halos he was called Zidan Exile,he was from the main sect Cyra learned that he was incredibly strong nearing stage 2, he kept delaying his cultivation for Halos but on the other hand ate countless pills and because of that his strength was equal of a stage 2 almost stage 3, 3 with 8 halos, they were Riu Wax,Alice Sando and Safa Rex, 5 with 7 Halos they were Harlan Rex, Iris Roche, Anias Mullen,Mason Salas, Adam bloom and Cyra with 6, she was weakest in the group, only her last stand ability were usable for actual fight, while she was thinking the person with 9 halos approached her, he was an optimistic guy with great leader ship abilities.

Cyra main advantages were that no matter what have happened she could run away without any problems, she could fly without any issues, adding invisibility and force control to that and she would become the perfect detector or spy, there was also the Book of earth storage she could threw anything inside including her self, because now the space was large enough, she had no way to enter a storage ring that was on her finger but it was an entirely different story with the Book of Earth, Also thanks to the reflection she could even severely injure people that are heavily relaying on Soul attacks.

At this Point her eyes were still closed, it was almost like she was blind, this instantly caused displeasure from the rest of the group, but seeing that Zidan Exile didn't seemed to care, they also decided to let it pass this time, the 5 guys together with Zidan were instantly captured by Cyra beautiful figure and appearance, they were just glaring at her without restrain considering she couldn't see them..

Cyra didn't really mind it, also she would rather have her group protection than become enemies with them so she let this pass for now, also she knew nothing about the others halo abilities, it would be a stupid idea attacking them without knowing something about them.

A few minutes after their vision blurred and they were standing in the sky above a city, the City looked kinda similar to big metropolises of Earth, they were floating in a group of 10, they were the second group to arrive, they were taken here according to the number of the lobbies they were inside, a total of 50 groups meaning 500 people were currently floating and waiting for the test to start.

*Ding*Ding*Ding* "The First task That you Need to complete is to gain 1 of the 10 sacred relics of the ancient era, you have 6 hours to complete the task!" Said the metallic voice once again.

This place resembled a game like world, each of them head a health bar above their heads that showed their hp, it was a rather unique design [と つと つと つと つと つ], after the hp bars appeared they stopped floating, Cyra sneakily used fly so she could avoid taking falling damage, the rest of her group wasn't this lucky, expect Zidan Exile who used short distance teleportation similarly Cyra didn't lose hp, for the rest however this small tutorial showed the use of the hp bars,since their hp dropped from...

[とつとつとつとつとつ] -> [とつとつとつとつと]

System what happened here?

[According to the book of earth, one of the administrators went mad, Tiamat started destroying human capital cities one by one on the East coast of the United States, they already gathered all 10 ancient relics in the city, but they lost because apparently each of the relics were guarded by armed special forces, they were effected by Tiamat madness and instead of cooperating they started fighting with each other until it was way to late.]

"This place looks odd." Said Rui wax with an interested look...

"I agree with Rui this place is indeed odd, it looks like our sacred Cities but it's larger, but at the same time the buildings are simple nothing fancy but the streets are so dirty I feel like throwing up..." Said Alice Sando with stronger disgust towards the city.

"So does anyone knows where to start looking for the sacred relics?" Said Rui Wax with thinking expression..

"No." Said Safa Rex and Harlan Rex at the same time, they we're pretty much clueless.

"Nop." Said Iris Roche seeing that she wasn't the only one to be lost, she also immediately answered..

"None." Said Anais Mullen while being a bit sad, she felt useless but when she looked at Cyra her mood turned better..

It was at that moment Cyra pointed towards a direction, some of them has rolled their eyes at that but said nothing since they had no better idea.

Than Zidan Exile spoke up, - "Since we already got a way, let's start moving everyone please be on alert and tell the rest of us when you see something unusual" with that said the group of 10 started marching towards the direction that Cyra pointed at.

They were sure that Cyra was just as clueless as them but she tried her luck to maybe just maybe they will run into a relic.

It was at that point when another game like future appeared in everyone vision, in the top right corner of their sight.

[Special Task Force: Tiger killed Lobby 3, Player21 with an m416 - 499 players left alive]

[Special Task Force: Tiger killed Lobby 3, Player25 with an m416 - 498 players left alive]

…

…

[Special Task Force: Tiger killed Lobby 3, Player22 with an m416 - 490 players left alive]

[Lobby 3 has been eliminated] [49 groups remaining]

After their momentary shock they continued towards the direction that Cyra showed them to follow, Cyra didn't pick the relic randomly after long thinking she picked the one that was closest to a zoo, this way she could use animals to fight, she also started staying the back of the group, none of them were wearing any armor, so the best thing she could do was using them as living targets to avoid being sprayed by an M416 or an AKM...

Am I in a Simulator again?

[Yes, Host the ship computer used sleeping gas to put every practitioner into this place, but I think everyone is sleeping in separate rooms]

Why do you think that?

[Host is alone]

Fair point.

While Cyra was talking with her system, her group also started to chat with each other, it didn't take long for them to start hearing gun fire in the nearby area...

"I have a bad feeling about this, we should make a detour!" Said Adam Bloom, one of his Halo abilities allowed him to sense danger, but he didn't wanted to share this with the group so he simply said this, so they might listen to his advice.

"Sure, go ahead we will stay on this road!" Said Mason Salas, he was pretty sure that has been spooked by the recent weird sounds.

"Why not stick together?" Asked Iris Roche, she was sure that splitting up was a bad idea.

"I'm not a chicken like him, if he wants to do a detour than let him, but I will go straight towards the sacred relic, I don't wanna lose it just because he is scared" Said Mason Salas, while looking smugly at Adam Bloom.

"I'm telling you guys it's bad idea!" Said Adam Bloom once more.

"Sure, Sure what ever you say." Said Mason Salas, Harlan Rex and Safa Rex all together while continued walking onwards.

Adam Bloom decided to join to Cyra and followed behind the group of 8 without another word, he was angry at deep inside but he was greatly out numbered, and reasoning with these people seemed to be fatal mistake, on the other hand staying by Cyra seemed to much more logical because she really showed them the way for a relic, this showed that she had reliable abilities that could help him survive this test.

It didn't take long for Adam Bloom worries to come true, the group of 7 was killed by a explosion trap, Adam Bloom and Zidan Exile got severely injured while Cyra was fine, she picked up Adam and Zidan and carried them inside one of the nearby houses to seek shelter, as she put bot of them down she could see that the death massages changed now they were showing their actual names...

[Special Task Force: Eagle killed Lobby 2, Mason Salas with a Booby Trap - 378 players left alive]

[Special Task Force: Eagle killed Lobby 2, Harlan Rex with a Booby Trap - 376 players left alive]

…

…

[Special Task Force: Eagle killed Lobby 2, Arthur Briggs with a Booby Trap - 369 players left alive]

[38 groups remaining]

Zidan Exile [とつとつとつとつとつ] -> [とつ] [8 Halo abilities are disabled] [Movement speed reduced by 800%]

Adam Bloom [とつとつとつとつとつ] -> [と] [9 Halo abilities are disabled] [Movement speed reduced by 900%]

They pretty much became dead weights for Cyra, but she didn't mind it that much, even if she had no use for them now it didn't mean they couldn't help her when they went back to the sect, it was a worthy deal for her, showing good will for future benefits.

Cyra used her senses to see what was inside the building where the sacred relic was located, soon her senses locked on a bank, it had 3 floors, the first and second floor had 30 soldiers while there was 70 on the second floor, this made her assume that the sacred relic was on the second floor.

She now had 2 options the first one was to go to the zoo and turn the animals there into demonic creatures and Zerg down the building with hundreds of them.

The second option was to go to the roof and use her invisibility to sneak inside and get the relic like that, of course Cyra chosen the second option without any hesitation and activated her invisibility and started flying towards the building roof.

Meanwhile she was going for the relic, both Zidan and Adam looked at the spot where Cyra vanished from, now they knew she was definitely strong, also clever enough to stay cautious all the time..

"Zidan Do you think she knew about the Booby traps?" Asked Adam with some concerns.

"To tell you the truth I don't know, but I guess not, she got defensive when the first group got eliminated, so she stayed behind because of that, I think she would have told us if she knew about these traps"

"How can you be so sure about that?" Asked Adam while being skeptical about what happened..

"With her abilities she could have easily left us, but she didn't it shows that she had no reason to get us killed, she even hid us in a safe spot before leaving" Said Zidan with a happy smile, since he was still alive he still can get a nice placement in this test if he simply just waits it out.

"Your right, that does makes sense!" Said Adam while also smiling.
