Chapter 436: Endgame 2

"Roar!!!" the black haired man roared and his body largened substantially.
A few yellow-shirted men appeared behind him and it was obvious that these people were targeting the vault.
They hesitated when they saw a man and a bird standing at the entrance of the vault, and they started to surround the black hairy man.
Soon a group of strong totem users arrived, in which each and every one of them was at least a form two totem user.
More and more people gathered and the largening group was starting to become eye-catching. Everyone was staring at the bird and the man, as every person could feel their exposed power.
This group of people gathered together and split into three smaller groups.
One group had gathered near the black hairy man and one could faintly hear someone calling him the Bear man. He was a strong spiritualized totem user.
The other group was led by a girl in a red shirt. Its leader Aier was a middle-aged woman who was riding on a white bear. Her face was average and was rather skinny. She was in a red shirt and had a white feathered round hat on top of her head. The force field around her was impressive as she stood at the pinnacle of form three.
The last group was lead by two poets who had one violin each in their arms. Their grey shirts were ragged and they even had baggage on them. The man and woman's eyes resembled those of beasts as their pupils were black and narrow.
There were tumors spawning on their bodies and their force field would spike from strong to weak and kept fluctuating unnaturally. It was obvious that some sort of totem user had merged with them.
"You all don't even know you're on death's doorstep!" The red giant bird glared at the crowd coldly. "This place is completely owned by me and the ward guild."
Its voice was neutral and no one could make out if it was a female or male.
At the same time, it brushed its wing across the ground.
Whoosh!!
A red line appeared in front of the entrance of the vault.
"Don't blame me for eating whoever who dares to cross this line!!"
The bear man started to smile coldly.
"Lord Fire Spirit, we have so many comrades here. Isn't it absurd to tell us to give up based on your one measly order?"
"That's right." The woman in red shirt responded. "Although we're no match for the two of you, we are still able to create some havoc."
As a totem user who was already in the front line, she was always on high alert. She knew exactly how strong these two were.
Fire Spirit Rheins was a well-known form four elite in the Kingdom. It was also the guardian of the Kingdom's defense tactic formation. It was originally a human but an accident occurred and he had merged together with his core totem. His original body was burnt and he became a core totem fire spirit bird.
Muen, on the hand, was something else entirely. He was the only form four elite in Kovitan's War Guild and was one of its three leaders.
Whoever dared to rob the Royal's Vault at this time, be it a villain, would hesitate from such a threat. Since they had decided to rob, they would have already considered the consequences.
No matter how powerful these two were in Kovitan, it wasn't possible for them to obtain everything for themselves as there would be flaws in everything.
"I meant it when I say no." The Fire Spirit Rheins smiled coldly and raised its right wing.
A transparent man who was hiding at the side of the vault's entrance was blown into the sky by the wind.
His body was immediately cut in half at the waist as he screamed. The transparent force field around his body started to react strongly.
Boom!!
This man self-destructed and it was obvious that his totem had the ability to self-destruct, as it formed an invisible concussion ball that expanded rapidly.
As the concussion ball was about to expand further, the fire spirit shuffled its wings again.
A layer of red light engulfed the entire concussion ball as it formed into a huge sphere levitating in the sky. After a while, the red ball dispersed and everything was in peace with nothing left in the sky.
It was as though that guy had never come to this place.
"Is there anyone else?!" The Red Spirit stared coldly at the remaining people.
Suddenly, a black wind blew from afar and the people who stood in its way were blown to the side and fell to the ground.
The totem users with vision totem ability could faintly see a person inside the black wind. Perhaps one should say there was a man's after image moving in the black wind at high speed.
"Turning a deaf ear on me!!?" The Fire Spirit raged as it raised both of its wings.
The Fire Spirit's expression changed immediately as soon as the red beam made contact with the opponent.
"Alright alright!!! I admit I have…"
"Get lost!!"
A deep roar could be heard and broke off the Fire Spirit's speech. A fiery red beam collided with the Fire Spirit's red beam and immediately melted the latter before it landed onto the Fire Spirit.
Boom!!!
The Fire Spirit was viciously pushed off the cliff as it embarrassedly tried to maintain its balance mid-air.
As it was about to turn around and rage, Muen was already slammed deep into the stone wall on the right of the opponent and his face was totally pale.
A tall golden-haired man in black armor was standing in front of the vault's entrance.
"Veska's Tactic Formation?"
Eight red dragon heads appeared behind him and collided with the door without any restraint.
Roar!!!
Eight of the dragon shadows crash onto the stone door at lightning speed.
The red light and black light intertwined with each other as the buzzing sound could be constantly heard.
Kaboom!!
A huge hole was created onto the vault's entrance.
The man hmpf-ed and walked into it.
Muen and the Fire Spirit didn't even dare to breathe behind him.
Although both of them were form four totem users, they were able to become form four due to the external strength and were just at the initial and unstable stage of form four. The difference in strength between them and the man who crashed into them was day and night.
Furthermore, this man was the Black Fire Palace Master, who was a recently notorious man who could even stop a child from crying. They didn't even dare to utter a word.
"Should we go in?" Muen asked as he suddenly appeared behind the Fire Spirit as he showed an intention of working together.
The Fire Spirit glanced at him and noticed that one of the top totem users of the War Guild was heavily injured by his casual attack.
"That guy is the Black Fire Palace Master. He's the kind of guy who would kill anyone who doesn't agree with him. You're welcome to go on your own."
Muen was in a dilemma as he recalled the two combo attack earlier.
The Fire Spirit and he were pushed away by the opponent like a fly. Finally, he had to suppress his greed.
"I know another first-class vault but the guards there are a little bit troublesome. Do you want to team up?" He finally gave up on the Royal Vault.
The Fire Spirit nodded his head in frustration.
Those who couldn't suppress their greed cast all sorts of camouflaging abilities and entered the vault in hope to loot some leftovers.
The three totem user leaders didn't hesitate at all.
After some obvious struggle from the Bear man, he decided to leave.
"Let's go!"
He turned around and left the scene.
As for the other two, the middle age woman gritted her teeth and covered herself with a layer of grey-white membrane and entered the vault.
"We will just be collecting the items near the entrance…" These group of people quietly entered the cave with this intention in mind.
Even the wandering poets entered together as well...
**************
Garen trotted inside the vault.
The inner side of the vault was a pitch black main hall.
The wall, ground, metal racks and everything else were completely black.
There were Heirlooms on two metal racks that were glowing in different shades of color.
Each Heirloom was protected by two unique layers of tactical formations.
The first layer was to prevent others from using the Heirloom and the second layer was to prevent others from taking the Heirloom away. Once the first layer was forcefully removed, the second layer would activate and destroy the Heirlooms.
At the front of the vault were all valuable medicine. Valuable totems were placed at the center but these totems were all silver made primitive totems.
There were complete sets of inherited, Nurtured Totems.
Garen wanted them so badly but he didn't dare to simply break the Tactical Formation.
Aside from protection, the first layer also had the effect of anchoring the totems in place. Hence it would be impossible to bring these totems home and unlock them slowly.
Garen didn't care about the medicine as he now has superhuman recovery and was immune to hundreds of poisons. Furthermore, his totem was almost merged with his actual body and didn't require multiple resources like those low-grade totem users.
Although the Cherish Totem was strong, without a strong background in totem maintenance it would be usable but not maintainable. It would be completely broken if it's damaged even a little bit since it couldn't be fixed.
After some consideration, Garen took a few Silver Medicines that were used for repairing totems. These medicines which were fused with Silver were very rare. It could heal the damages of a primitive totem but only light damage.
It's valuable just because only big noble households were able to get their hands on these. The remaining typical totem users could only find a forger to fix their totems.
These items could be used by Garen or sold it for money as the quantity was very minute.
Garen glanced at the inherited totems and the strongest he saw was but of a Spiritualized grade, which was meaningless to him. He simply took the inherited Magical Eye and left the place.
This inheritance was the least among the others, from which Garen could easily acquire thirty to forty thick books.
The Magical Eye only had five books so it was considered to be very little.
Next was the deepest part of the vault.
Kovitan's Royal Household wasn't the best in researching totem but in fabricating Heirlooms.
The reason Garen rushed to this place was that he wanted to obtain an imitated Heirloom that suited him.
In the original history, the Caeserton off the annals of history without a trace, and there had to be a peculiar reason for it.
It would be better for him to obtain heirlooms that he could most likely obtain than to try and obtain an unlikely heirloom.
The elites who wanted to obtain the original heirloom had gone to the funeral and only the side characters would come to the vault.
However, Garen was different. He obtained intel from the third princess that Avic once fabricated the ultimate heirloom Caeserton which has immense power. Very little people knew about this as it was fabricated within the Royal Household. The item never came to light ever again after completion and its whereabouts was unknown.
Garen's objective was an item in this vault.
