Chapter 132: The Legacy Unsealed
As the pedestal's glow intensified, the entire chamber rumbled, ancient mechanisms awakening from their slumber. The air vibrated with power, and Raizen felt his Draconic blood stir, responding to whatever was about to be revealed.
The holographic figure regarded him solemnly. "You have passed the trial. Now, the inheritance of your ancestors shall be returned to you."
The pedestal split open, revealing a floating crystalline core—a deep crimson gem pulsating with raw energy. It radiated pure Draconic essence, filling the chamber with an overwhelming presence.
Nyx inhaled sharply. "That… is no ordinary relic."
Seraphina's violet eyes flickered. "It's alive."
Raizen stepped forward, his instincts screaming at him that this was meant for him. As his fingers brushed the crystal, a surge of heat raced through his veins, his vision flooded with images.
Memories of a Lost Civilization
Raizen saw a world engulfed in war, Tier 9 warriors clad in Draconic armor, wielding weapons capable of tearing through space itself. He saw a great betrayal, an army of invaders reducing entire cities to ash. And at the heart of it all—a throne, his throne, now long abandoned.
A voice echoed in his mind, deep and resonant. "You are the last. The sole survivor of the Sovereign's bloodline."
Raizen gasped, the images vanishing as his senses returned to the present.
Nyx steadied him. "What did you see?"
Raizen clenched his fists. "The truth." He turned back to the crystal. "And what I must reclaim."
A New Power Awakens
The crystal reacted to his resolve, sinking into his chest like a molten brand. His body ignited in golden flames, his aura expanding beyond what it had ever been.
Seraphina shielded her eyes. "His energy… it's evolving."
The hologram gave a slow nod. "The inheritance has been restored. But you have only unlocked the first seal."
Raizen exhaled, feeling new strength coursing through him. His Draconic bloodline had ascended, but he knew this was only the beginning.
He turned to his crew. "We leave now."
Nyx smirked. "Where to?"
Raizen's golden eyes burned. "To claim what's mine."
