Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

Zevien and Vernisia didn't activate the waypoint to leave the castle. After that symbol appeared on the back of Zevien's hand, all of his fears about this place vanished.

Although Zevien and Vernisia were still feeling creepiness outside the castle because of the dark and gloomy environment, it did not scare them anymore since there was no danger.

"How do we leave if we're not going from the waypoint?" Vernisia asked after coming out and arriving back in the garden.

Zevien grabbed Vernisia's hand before carrying her. "We fly out. The pressure of this abyss doesn't work on me anymore."

Mordred silently watched them fly up as a very faint blood field appeared around Zevien that blocked all the pressure while flying up.

'Well, Morgana will reach the edge of the cliff before they come out. My work here is done,' Mordred said before his shadow dispersed.

Zevien and Vernisia had to spend a whole 30 minutes before they finally came out of the abyss.

Zevien didn't fly up on the cliff from where they fell, but on the other side of the cliff where a new forest land started.

"Phew… finally we are out," Vernisia sighed a relief while smiling.

Zevien still carried her and was going to put her legs on the ground by releasing his hand before both of them froze due to the intense pressure that descends upon them.

A woman wearing a dark purple gown with red patterns slowly descended in front of them. She has a long wavy dark red hair, vampire wings, and dark red eyes with black sclera.

"I'll be taking my stuff from you," Morgana said indifferently before she pointed her hand toward Zevien and clawed at him as a sparkling dark red string shot towards Zevien.

Zevien and Vernisia couldn't do anything. They couldn't even move their muscles in her presence.

However, the symbol on the back of Zevien's hand glowed as a mystic avatar manifested in front of Zevien. The avatar was of a handsome man wearing a suit and a cloak. He had white hair, red eyes, and majestic bat wings - even bigger than Morgana's wings.

With just his glance, the dark red string disintegrated before it could reach Zevien.

"Blood Monarch…" Morgana muttered dazedly after seeing the avatar. She had seen his picture many times, so she easily recognized him.

"Where is that ungrateful bastard?" Blood Monarch asked with a faint smile.

"Not here," Morgana replied calmly before narrowing her eyes. "Are you still alive? If not, then I will take the inheritance from that boy."

Vernisia and Zevien were still petrified and couldn't move.

"That is for me to decide," Blood Monarch said before he turned around and looked at Zevien. "Strange touch you have, boy. But you are too weak. Not worthy of this inheritance… Yet."

"Yet?" Morgana narrowed her eyes.

Blood Monarch's eyes glowed as the symbol on the back of Zevien's hand started shining for a brief moment before half of it disappeared with a gesture from the Blood Monarch's hand.

Morgana saw Blood Monarch turning around and pointing his hand at her, giving her a pleasant surprise.

"Take half of the inheritance," the Blood Monarch said with a faint smile as he gave half of the inheritance to Morgana. The other half of the symbol also appeared on the back of her hand.

"What would he do with the other half?" Morgana asked with a dissatisfied look as she looked at Zevien. "He is too weak and can't even activate the inheritance to learn about your legacy. Look, he is still petrified and can't do anything. His will is weak."

Zevien's eyes burned with anger after hearing that, and Vernisia was also furious. Everyone was born weak and had to grow stronger. Even this woman calling them weak was once weak.

"What are you looking at, huh? Are you angry?" Morgana scoffed. "Ants."

"You are also an ant to me, lady. Don't forget that," the Blood Monarch said as he let out a light chuckle.

*Crack..*

Zevien opened his mouth, his will burning fiercely. "You… can… take… this… inheritance… for I… will create… my own legacy! And then, I will come to you! Take it!"

A strange glint appeared in the Blood Monarch's eyes after hearing that. "You should know that this inheritance can help you grow faster. You can learn powerful magic spells, magic arts, mystic incantations, magic domains, and many other things one by one when you activate this inheritance in the future.

"Once you have fully learned your half-side of the inheritance you both have, you will clash against each other, and the winner will take it all," the Blood Monarch finished speaking as his avatar slightly flickered.

However, Zevien was adamant. "Take back the inheritance. I don't want it."

"If he says so, then take it from him and give it to me. The inheritance is a waste on him, and he knows it too," Morgana said with a snort.

"Heh," Zevien coldly grinned as he looked at Morgana. "But I have a condition."

"Interesting, haha. Go ahead and say it. I will make sure that she agrees with your condition as long as I find it reasonable," the Blood Monarch laughed. "After all, I don't see people like you, who are willing to give up such boons just to forge their own unknown future. I like it!"

Vernisia also cracked a smile, as she was feeling proud of Zevien.

But there was a deep reason behind Zevien's rejection of inheritance that only two people knew. One was Zevien himself, and the other one was Tarto.

"What is the condition?" Morgana asked as she squinted her eyes. "If you are going to ask me to spare you after I get the inheritance, then don't bother. I am not bored enough to kill someone like you. Even if the Blood Monarch didn't appear, I would have only taken the inheritance."

"Haha, and here I thought you had no pride and self-esteem!" the Blood Monarch commented with a chuckle, "Though, a certain someone wouldn't bat an eye to kill anyone for gains. I suggest you get rid of Mordred from your side. The sooner, the better."

"Noted." Morgana nodded as a thoughtful expression appeared on her face before she looked at Zevien. "Go ahead and tell me your condition," she said.

"The condition is simple. I…"/
