As he landed in front of his wives and saw them returning to normal after the horror of moments before, Minos apologized to them and the rest of his group.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to do that."
Forrest heard that and continued to breathe heavily, feeling the great discomfort of Minos' blow. "That's quite a strong skill. Did you get it from that dragon?"
"Yes, he gave it to me and some other things..." Minos was about to say that when he looked to the side and asked. "How long was I unconscious?"
"Just over 5 weeks," Abby answered him.
"Then we must hurry. We probably drew trouble in our direction when the inheritance started. And this protective barrier will only last another day!" He said, worried about the opponents they might have to face.
"One day?" Everyone there murmured the same question, as they thought this barrier would disappear after Minos awoke.
"Yes, that was how much the dragon told me his barrier would stand after the inheritance was completed. He saw my memories, and that's why he gave us this bonus," Minos explained. Minos explained.
This level 100 dragon had left his legacy long before this Spatial Kingdom suffered the catastrophe millions of years ago. However, after seeing his heir's memories, this dragon remnant realized that his heir's situation after inheritance would not be easy at all.
With this in mind, he had used some of his remaining energy in this world to maintain this barrier long enough for his heir to prepare.
"That's really convenient..." Forrest sighed, feeling better that he could recover from this attack before worrying about the enemies outside.
He and the rest of the group expected to run into trouble as soon as the level 100 dragon's inheritance ended, even though they couldn't sense what was outside this area. After all, they knew other groups were in this spatial pocket when Minos activated the legacy.
Knowing how valuable a God's inheritance was, there was no way they wouldn't expect something to happen after Minos' awakening!
"Get ready. In a few hours, we will fight our way out of this space." Minos said, without telling much more about what he had been through.
The men of Forrest's group, Harold and the hybrid, soon began meditating to raise their spirits to the maximum before the confrontation.
But Minos' women didn't do that right away. Instead, they approached him curiously.
"How do you feel?" Gloria asked.
"Excellent. Not only have I gained a dragon's ability, but I feel like my body is much stronger now. I could probably fight low-level Sages without using any of my techniques or abilities." Minos replied.
Ruth nodded her head positively and said. "I feel the same way. My body has improved a lot in terms of attributes."
Normally, a cultivator's physical strength was 10% of their spiritual strength. For example, a level 81 cultivator like Ruth would have the same physical strength as a level 70 cultivator.
But now, the two had bodies as strong as those of low-level 9th-stage beasts!
"I also feel that my connection with the giant skeletons has greatly increased. I think I'll be able to help our forces more than before." Minos said, leaving his theory to be discussed with his wives in the future.
His theory was more than understanding the origin of this world. It could even affect the fate of the cultivators, for Minos thought it might allow him to revolutionize the rules of this world!
For now, he would gather more data on his ideas and continue strengthening himself. But he already had some ambitious plans in mind.
Not wanting to talk about it so as not to raise false hopes, he ended up hiding part of what he had gained from this legacy because, in his opinion, the most important thing was not the Dragon's Gaze but his progress in terms of compatibility with those ancient beings.
But Emperor Stuart's wives understood that he had significantly benefited from this inheritance and that his future would be even brighter once he became a Demigod.
They all smiled, congratulated, and hugged him.
Then Abby asked. "Did you win anything else? Like resources?"
It was not only the people out of this protected area who thought that the heir of that level 100 being had gained more than indivisible qualities. Everyone imagined that some wealth had been left behind.
After all, dragons were creatures that were known to accumulate wealth. How could a level 100 being of that kind leave nothing behind?
In the case of Henricus Longus, he had left the Spatial Kingdom with abundant resources for Minos.
Knowing this, the four women were curious.
Minos smiled when he heard this and looked at the spatial ring in one of his hands.
"Yes, I won some stuff." He said as he examined what was on the ring.
It was imperative that he use everything at his disposal to help his group increase their strength before they faced the opponents who were surely waiting for them outside of this area.
This spatial ring could be crucial in this battle, depending on what was inside it!
'Let me see. Here it is...' Minos injected a part of his consciousness into this high-level grade-4 item and soon felt an ample space filled with resources and riches.
There were various armor and artifacts that were useful not only for dragons and beasts but also for humans of both genders. There was practically nothing of low or medium level, and almost everything was of high-level grade-4 rank.
'As expected from a dragon. He was really very rich!' Minos thought as he noticed the number of high-grade spiritual crystals, Saint-grade medicine, and even special resources.
There were dragon skeletons, dragon skins, phoenix feathers, sky whale scales, precious minerals, and more.
In short, this ring had enough riches to arm a high-level battalion, provide ingredients for high-level grade-4 alchemists and blacksmiths, and even cultivation items for 9th and 10th-stage beasts and humans!
These items were nothing compared to a Spatial Kingdom with Divine Medicine, but they were second to nothing more!
