Chapter 132 Getting The Inheritance (Part 5)

''Oh, oh right. '' Fehim awoke from his daydreams about the contents of the tomb, retrieved his massive ax from his dimensional storage, and proceeded to the tomb.

*BANG*

Deep cracks appeared on the lid after a single strike from him.

*BANG*

Then, with the second strike, it was split down the middle, revealing the contents.

''Heh? What is this? '' Fehim returned his ax to his dimensional storage, peered inside through the broken lid, and asked with a frown.

Similarly excited, Raydon walked up to the tomb and noticed that it was filled with variously shaped pieces of black bone. He picked one up and started to inspect it curiously.

''The system message did not appear, and since there are so many of these things, it must be crafting material,'' Raydon stated confidently.

''Eh? How can the second reward be just some crafting materials when the first reward was a blue-grade body enchantment? '' Fehim said, scratching his head. He clearly had little knowledge of crafting and believed it to be useless.

'What the fuck!? Blue-grade!? ' Raydon's eyes grew wide as he stared at Fehim in shock.

He was aware that the body enchantment he discovered was of high quality, but he had not expected it to be blue-grade.

''Ehm, it's only natural. Many powerful item holders, I've heard, put their best items as the first prize when creating their inheritance to motivate those who find it. '' Raydon immediately covered up his expression of shock and made up the most plausible lie he could.

'Holy crap. If the first item was a blue-grade, these crafting materials should be extremely rare, right? ' Excitement filled Raydon's mind.

''Oh, so that was the case. I didn't hear anything like that, though. It appears I have already acquired the best item. '' Fehim expressed his belief in Raydon's bullshit without hesitation and with a look of shame on his face.

"It's alright. You should naturally get the best item since this inheritance was originally yours. Also, the second reward is usually the worst, perhaps the subsequent rewards will be better than this, '' claimed Raydon.

''Oh, I had no idea about that either. So we shouldn't be disheartened. By the way, I thought you didn't know much about inheritances, but it looks like you know more than me,'' Fehim said, perplexed.

He had assumed Raydon was ignorant of inheritances based on his previous behavior, so he was taken aback to discover that he was now confidently discussing such minute details.

''Although I don't usually care about things like this, I gave my grandfather some assistance because he was also planning an inheritance for himself. '' Raydon continued to lie as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

'I knew it, he comes from a powerful family. Given that his grandfather is already making plans for his inheritance, he must be very powerful. ' Fehim accepted Raydon's absurd lie with no hesitation.

In order to seal their own dimensional storage and ensure that it would continue to exist without fragmentation after their death, an item holder needed to be extremely powerful. Attempting to convert a weak dimensional storage into an inheritance would be more difficult than constructing a cotton candy castle in the middle of the ocean.

As a result of Fehim's stupidity and his newly acquired trust in him, Raydon now had an imaginary grandfather who was more powerful than his imaginary high-rank backer.

''Even though it is worthless, I can add it to my stock of crafting materials. You never know what you'll need next when you're crafting something. '' Raydon began gathering the materials one by one and storing them in his dimensional storage. He slowly and methodically collected them, giving the impression that he was doing so reluctantly.

"That's great. Don't worry; perhaps we can find something that interests you at the next stage. '' Fehim expressed this in a tone of self-blame, thinking that he is taking the materials even though they were useless so as not to make him feel bad.

After all, Raydon had been forced to come here by Fehim, and despite their best efforts to reach the second tomb, the prize they discovered was wholly useless.

'What a good man.' Fehim thought.

Raydon simply replied with a nod and a smile.

He asked after he had finished gathering the materials, "How long will it take for your defensive skill to be ready to use again? ''

''It should only take another ten minutes. Actually, it's not an item skill. It's a combination of my title ability and my body enchantment's side effect.'' After some thought, Fehim said. Normally, an item holder would not reveal even the smallest detail about their title and items, but he was attempting to appear sincere to Raydon.

'Combination of title ability and the body enchantment's side effect? What sort of idea is that? ' Raydon was surprised to hear that. As far as he is aware, item holder titles have always been passive, similar to body enchantments, because they lack an active life core. Fehim's body armor also appeared to him to be a skill.

In reality, Fehim's title ability consisted of hardening dead cells in the body, thereby protecting his organs and skin with a layer of a hard substance. As a result, Fehim's skin was as hard as stone.

Additionally, as a result of the body enchantment's side effect, Fehim was required to remove the accumulated toxins from his body on a regular basis through perspiration; otherwise, the toxins that remained in his body for an extended period of time would cause him to rot.

He had mastered this side effect and was able to accumulate and remove toxins from his body at will. Since these toxins are typically composed of dead cells that accumulate in his body, the moment he released them, they transformed into a hard, green stone body armor.

It was not surprising that Fehim created a skill in this manner, as item holders frequently create combinations with their title abilities by selecting synergistic items and body enchantments, but it was surprising that someone like Fehim could have come up with the idea.

If Raydon had known about it, he most likely would have been quite surprised.
