Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Cleadlyn then looks at me.

"I have sent a message to Lady Ezira, you can wait here for a bit and she will be here in a minute."

I nod.

"Thank you."

Cleadlyn nods and then leaves. I'm looking around while waiting for Ezira to pick me up. I open my friendlist and check the others, and based on the information on the screen, they're still inside the dungeon and it seems that they're trying to get some information about the dungeon. I just hope that they're not seriously going to clear it on their own.

The sound of footsteps of someone wearing greaves is coming towards me. I look back and there she is, Ezria "The Empress" Alexus with her full plate armor and a gown inside the armor. She smirks and looks at me.

"You are back, Trevor. You came sooner than I thought, I'm impressed."

I nod.

"I know my way back here, so yeah."

Ezira is squinting her eyes while smiling.

"Interesting... anyway, let us head to my floor."

I nod and then raise my hand.

"Before we go there, can I see the 1000th floor first? I heard from Cleadlyn that I can see how big the Paradise City is from there. I'm very curious about it."

Ezira raises her eyebrow and smirks.

"Of course. Follow me."

I follow Ezira from behind and she's opening a portal from the same spot from back then. She's pointing her hand at the portal.

"Get in."

I nod and then enter the portal. I get teleported to the vast land that is way bigger and wider than the ground floor. There are so many heroes that are training and resting on this floor. It seems that the 1000th floor is the place where most of the heroes are gathering and training together. I see a massive garden outside of the floor and that looks like a balcony if I pretend that this tower is like any ordinary apartment. It's still weird for me to look at a land surround by nature and yet there's a tall ceiling above.

Ezira then looks at me.

"I see that your Amruchi is one of a kind and I'm very curious about it. Can check your Amruchi?"

I look at Azrael and then nods. Ezira then walks toward Azrael and she's tilting her head while putting her hand on her mouth. Ezira then looks up and a massive back tiger with dark blue stripes appears from above us. Very long sharp fangs are showing even though it doesn't open its mouth and white flames are covering all of its paws and the paw is almost as tall as me. Azrael and I are lifting our heads and look at the tiger. The back tiger is glaring at us and then lowering its head.

Ezira is patting and rubbing its head and then looks at me.

"It seems that my Amruchi is the same type as yours, is that correct?"

I nod.

"Yes, mine seems to be a mythical beast."

Ezira nods and then keeps staring at Azrael.

"What intrigues me is that even if yours is still in its first evolution, its growth is already half of my Amruchi, and that is very interesting."

Ezira then looks at me.

"Your Amruchi can be trained here with the others Amruchi if you are interested."

I tilt my head.

"I can train my Amruchi? How?"

Ezira is nodding up and looking at something behind me. I look back and there's a rocky hill with a mouth.

"Your Amruchi can get in there and they can learn so many new skills depends on your Amruchi's capability of learning. Mostly, it will take at least a month for any Amruchi to learn a new skill. Unfortunately, the skills that they will learn are going to be random."

I'm looking at the cave and shake my head because I can't stay online for a month to wait for Azrael and to think that the skill that will be random is not worth it.

"I don't think I can't stay here for a month just to wait for my Amruchi to get a random skill..."

Ezira is shaking her head.

"You don't have to wait for your Amruchi. Once your Amruchi gets inside the cave, they will not be able to leave until they receive a new skill. So no matter what happened to you, it will not affect your Amruchi."

I'm humming with understanding. I look at Ezira while pointing at the cave.

"So, you're saying if I leave my Amurchi in there and I leave the Land of Sigrid it won't affect him at all?"

Ezira nods.

"That is correct. Your Amruchi will go back to your side after he received a new skill."

Now that's interesting. I might want to try it later. So basically I can leave Azrael in there and log out from the game for a day and a half then Azrael will come back to me with extra skill. I wonder if Azrael will be okay if I keep sending him in there until he gets tons of extra skills. But, there must be a drawback to using this method.

I nodding with understanding.

"So, what is the drawback?"

Ezira is rubbing the tiger's head.

"Your Amruchi will sacrifice its power and will be weakened after receiving the skill."

I'm furrowing my forehead with confusion because I honestly have no idea what is she talking about.

"What's that mean? I don't understand."

Ezira is smiling and nodding up at the rocky hill.

"You will understand once you get close to the cave. Follow me."

Ezira is riding the back tiger and then the tiger starts running so fast that each leap is like 60 to 80 meters. I look at Azrael and ride on his back then try to catch up with them by flying. Azrael is flying as fast as he can but our distance is getting wider and wider. To think that something like that used to roam the Orion is really scary to imagine. I wonder what is the other legendary heroes' Amruchis look like. I bet they're as powerful as hers.

Ezira is waiting for us in front of the cave while leaning on the tiger's belly. Azrael then lands next to them. Ezira is laughing while looking at me.

"Not bad! To think that there's another Amruchi that able to follow mine."

Ezira then looks at the cave and tilts her head.

"Anyway, go and check it for yourself."

I nod and approach the cave. A notification appears.

[Would you like to offer your Amruchi to the Dungeon?]

[Yes] [No]

...

...

...

[No]

So this is like a cultivation or meditation dungeon specifically for Amruchi. So that's what she meant by sacrificing its power and will be weakened after receiving the skill. The more Amruchis that are entering the dungeon, the lower the amount of level being sacrificed. I think this won't be a problem since all the heroes here have Amruchi. Unfortunately, the chances are fixed so I don't think my luck can play a part in this.

Ezira then walks toward me and tilts her head.

"So, are you interested in training your Amruchi inside?"

I look at her and nod.

"Yeah, this should be good, but I don't think I need this at the moment. For now, there's something I want to see."

Ezira smiles and nods.

"Right, follow me then."

I follow her and we are outside the tower and the wind is so fierce that it startles me when the wind hits my face. I remove my hand from my face and am immediately stunned by the scenery. We are above the clouds and it's so cold up here. This is unbelievably beautiful. Ezira jumps and flies in front of me. She looks at me and then looks up.

"Over there is the bottom of the Paradise City."

I lift my head and I open my mouth with disbelief.

"What the..."
