Troyland Extrarossa and Merlin Extrarossa along with their kids were currently in the vast plains outside of Omniland. So far, they had not experienced anything that could endanger them. The mask helped them greatly.
Outside Omniland, there was a big tomb that only the Extrarossas were aware of. This was the tomb of their forefather, their origin.
Many of their ancestors sought to get out of the lake with this reason at the top. It was rumored that the tomb was filled with treasures. Troyland was here because he wanted to use the treasures to get by outside the Omniland.
After all, they didn't know what kind of danger they might face.
"This is the Forefather's tomb?" Merlin was confused. The tomb looked very ordinary and there's nothing catchy. Aside from a few shining stones on the ground, it's like a normal tomb.
Troyland observed the place, not daring to touch anything first. Soon, he found a small coffin with a ruby stone engraved on it. For some reason, it was calling to him to open it.
But there's an ominous feeling that he couldn't explain. Nevertheless, his curiosity almost got the better of him when a cold yet warm voice suddenly said, "Don't open it if you want to get out alive."
The voice originated from All Temple. It must be the skeleton on the throne.
Immediately, Troyland pulled his hand, afraid that he would be mistaken once again and backed off, "Your Excellency, what might be inside of the coffin?"
"Darn, Raylan! You always spoil my plans time and time again!! Once I got out of here, you will be the first to die!" There was an enraged voice coming from the coffin. Its voice was sinister and deep, filled with hatred.
"If you get out of that, that is." Raylan chuckled, "The seal on you is not weakening despite being there for countless of years. Why do you think that is?"
"You think this can imprison me for eternity, you damned skeleton? Just wait for my appearance. I'll tear those bones of you into pieces." The demon inside the coffin gritted his teeth in rage.
"I'm afraid you won't have the opportunity." Raylan responded, "Not to mention getting out, your body is already disintegrating. By the time you have the chance to get out, you are already a corpse."
"You sound confident." The demon ignored his words and sneered, "Speaking as if you are different from me."
"I am, of course. You are bounded helplessly inside that coffin. While me, if I'm willing to pay the price, I'll be able to get out of here and see the light of day again." Raylan spoke.
Remember, they were thousands of miles away from each other but their communication was very clear even though the tomb was outside the Omniland. Just this, you would know how strong they were.
Not even the current Extrarossas would be a match of the two. Fortunately, the other was on their side.
The demon roared and became silent. It had no refute to those words.
Troyland bowed to the direction of theorigin of the Master of All Temple, "Thank you for aiding us."
They would have died by now if not for Raylan's intervention. The demon was too sinister and powerful at the same time.
There was no response to it. However, they knew that the Master had accepted their gratitude. From now on, they would be more extra careful. After all, they were still unfamiliar with the place.
As they reached the deepest part of the tomb, there was a huge sword in the middle planted on the ground. Judging by it, it was there for billions of years now without anyone able to move it.
"The Sword Call." Troyland's hands trembled as he saw it. The sword was a very important weapon of their forefather. This was the weapon which slashed trillions of heads to pave the path of the forefather in the past to battle for their freedom.
Unfortunately, he still died in the end.
Troyland slowly touched the hilt of the sword and aimed to pull it. But, the sword was greatly stuck on the ground thus he was having extreme difficulty pulling it.
"Damn..." Troyland suck a deep breath. This was no joke. Their forefather had made sure that this sword wouldn't be pulled easily.
"Open!" Troyland activated all his power, revealing his hard scales and alligator appearance. His dao churned above him, turning into a sea of fire. Then, the sea of fire descended down and wrapped around his arms, "Be pulled out already!"
He was already giving his all, but the sword only moved an inch. He was already sweating but he didn't give up. He was already here, and who knew how long until he could return here? So, he needed to get it.
"I will assist you." Merlin couldn't take it anymore and channeled her energy to her husband. It was the best she could give, as their patterns and sequence were different.
Receiving a boost, Troyland finally could feel the sword moving inch by inch slowly. It was a damned hell to describe as the sword was rejecting his energy.
"Don't throw a fit already and just let me pull you!" Troyland could feel that the sword was resisting. He was already giving everything he got but the sword was still stuck deep. As a matter of fact, the sword was moving on its own, digging deeper to the ground.
This was an immortal weapon, so it had a sentience. It was rejecting Troyland as the successor of his power.
"Agh..." Troyland couldn't take it as he let go of the sword and lied down, trying to chase his breath. The sword didn't like him, and no matter what he did, it's not moving again at all, "This sword..."
The Sword Call responded with a dim light, as if it was saying that there's no possibility of being Troyland the next user.
