Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats - Chapter 726

Chapter 726: Trap?

With the resources stored inside that ring, even Kaelthar’s chances of ascending to the Soul Transformation Realm would have greatly increased.

However, he could not use even a single item from it.

The Demonic Ancestor had made sure of that with his methods.

All the cultivation resources within the inheritance belonged only to the successor.

No one else could touch them.

Not even the guardian of the realm.

“In case someone tries to use those resources, instead of enjoying the benefits those resources bring, they would die.”

Kaelthar, as though remembering something, shuddered but explained the rules regarding the inheritance left behind by the Demon Ancestor.

“Resources can’t be transferred?”

Ethan narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the pitch-black ring.

‘Looks like this Demon Ancestor was very serious about his successor’s growth.’

Of course, thinking about it, Ethan felt it was a bit odd.

Even though Ethan knew that most demons wouldn’t think much about their servants, he still believed that not trusting one’s own servant was not a good sign.

Moreover, it should be the successor’s choice on how to use the inheritance he received.

Because with those resources, he could help his friends or even recruit some powerful allies that would help him.

‘This… is mine.’

On the other hand, Zepharis slowly stepped forward, his gaze fixed on the ring.

A faint sense of connection began to emerge from within his body.

It was calling him.

Without hesitation, Zepharis extended his hand toward the pitch-black ring.

‘Swiish!’

The moment his fingers touched the ring, it disappeared and appeared on his thumb in the next second.

‘Buzzz!’

Following that, the entire cave trembled as the pitch-black ring shone brightly and countless streams of demonic light burst out from it.

‘Swiish!’

‘Swiish!’

‘Swiish!’

One after another, countless cultivation resources began appearing out of thin air.

In just a few moments, the entire cave was filled.

Piles of demonic stones, rare fruits, strange crystals, ancient totems…

All kinds of cultivation resources that a demon could use to increase not just his cultivation but also his battle prowess.

“T-this… so many resources…”

Looking at the resources filling the cave, everyone—including Ethan—was shocked.

“I knew the Demon Ancestor’s Inheritance would be rich; however, I didn’t expect it to be this rich.”

Elder Raven couldn’t help but stare in awe at the pile of resources.

‘Three Demon Talent Crystals, three Demon Bloodline Crystals, dozens of Last Breath Totems, Demonic Comprehension Fruits, and countless Supreme Grade Demonic Stones…’

Ethan, on the other hand, quickly assessed the resources and excitedly said, “With so many resources, you can easily ascend to the Soul Transformation Realm.”

“Yes, Master. Once I become a Soul Transformation Realm Demon, I can change the fate of my Night Demon Race.”

Zepharis’ eyes shone with excitement, but Ethan failed to notice that Zepharis’ eyes slowly turned red.

“So many resources right in front of my eyes… however, I can’t use them.”

Unlike them, Kaelthar was not excited.

Instead, he silently cursed his previous master for not giving him even a single one of those cultivation resources when he was alive.

Moreover, he had even set rules to ensure that Kaelthar couldn’t force the successor to give him those resources.

“Anyway, it’s not that he can’t give them to me… but no one except him can use those resources unless they want to die.”

To comfort himself, Kaelthar changed his way of thinking.

“Anyway, once my new master ascends to the Soul Transformation Realm, I hope he will help me ascend too.”

[The status effect of [Greed] has been removed thanks to the Infernal Dragon Blood Heart]

‘Wait a second… I was affected by a negative status?’

Suddenly, Ethan received a notification, and he felt like he had woken up from a dream.

His eyes cleared instantly.

‘There is definitely something wrong with these resources left behind by the Demon Ancestor.’

Even before entering the cave, Ethan had already sensed something was wrong after hearing Kaelthar’s words about how only Zepharis could use the inheritance.

If it had been a human ancestor’s inheritance, Ethan wouldn’t have thought much about it.

However, this was a Demon Ancestor.

The moment Zepharis picked up the storage ring, something had happened.

A hidden effect.

He was affected by a negative status called [Greed].

It had clouded his mind and made him unable to think properly for a moment.

‘It’s not just me… Zepharis and even Elder Raven are affected.’

Except for Kaelthar, everyone else had been influenced by that invisible negative effect.

However, Ethan was able to remove it thanks to his Heavenly Talent.

“Zepharis, throw that storage ring away.”

The moment he got clarity, Ethan hurriedly ordered; however, it was already too late.

‘This is not good… I need to wake them up.’

Looking at Zepharis, whose eyes had turned slightly red, Ethan’s expression changed.

The demonic nature of the Night Demons was awakening, and he would slowly lose his ability to reason.

“Master, this storage ring is not a normal one.”

Zepharis revealed an excited, almost sinister smile as he spoke.

“It has a special effect that increases the chances of ascending to the Soul Transformation Realm by eighty percent.”

“There is no way I will throw it away.”

‘Damn it… Looks like he is affected by some kind of illusion.’

Ethan immediately understood.

There was no way such an artifact could exist.

Especially something that increased the success rate by eighty percent.

‘Damn it… this Demon Ancestor… he really is cunning.’

‘He laid a perfect trap.’

A terrifying realisation appeared in Ethan’s mind.

‘He wants to take over the body of a young genius demon…’

The thing Ethan feared from the beginning had finally happened.

‘Looks like I have no choice but to use force.’

With that thought, Ethan made his decision.

‘As long as I slice his finger…’

‘Swiish!’

Ethan activated [Shadow Steps] and rushed forward at an incredible speed.

In an instant, he appeared just inches away from Zepharis.

‘Boom!’

However, a powerful barrier suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Before Ethan could react, it exploded outward.

“Ugh!”

Ethan was blasted back, sliding across the ground.

“HAHAHA…”

A loud, sinister laughter echoed throughout the cave.

Zepharis slowly raised his head.

His eyes were no longer the same; instead, they were filled with ancient arrogance.

“Finally…I, the Demonic Wolf Ancestor, Morveth… have returned.”
