"Wait", a majestic voice boomed, "You have one set of the keys and maps of the royal giant clan, but you aren't a giant. Who are you? "The voice asked as a tall figure emerged from the statue," And you did not bother to pay respect to Kaldur The Worldcrusher". Austin sneered and looked at the residual will, "You are just a mere will of a dead God. You want me to bow to the statue?" He asked with disdain evident in his tone," I got the key, passed your trials of absurd magical beasts even though I am in the third level, you intended to kill me, I fulfilled the requirements, so I get the rewards".
"This is the giant clan inheritance, and my creators wished for giants to inherit this. You may leave the map and the beast skin, and you shall get a reward appropriate to your effort in the trials".The voice suddenly replied, with a hint of killing intent masked in the voice, but how could it pass the notice of Austin," I guess it's been too long. Giants have grown too weak that their strongest is only fifth level, I can promise your creator that I will use his inheritance well," Austin muttered, losing patience.''A mortal dares blaspheme the god of giants? You shall not leave here alive". The statue then started moving, but Austin had already taken out his sword and channeled all his strength as he didn't dare risk it in front of a demigod.
He swung his sword at the falling arm of the statue and cut it clean off, and the statue paused, and uttered with a voice of a mixture of disbelief, horror, and incredulity," You !!, you are the one with that sword law mixed with other laws !!" The statue reverted and got silent, still as a calm water pond, before Austin broke the ice," So you were the one who gave me that fleeting sense of danger huh, thought it was a magic beast". He muttered as if speaking to an old friend. The voice still didn't speak, and Austin finally tried to insert the key into the statue's keyhole.
A tall ethereal figure suddenly materialized from the statue and spoke with a tone of neutrality," Honored one, I don't why you possess a mortal, but Kaldur wanted the giants to thrive as they were suppressed by the high humans who wielded the sword, I can provide a list of all resources available in this inheritance so that you may choose, you know wills cannot lie, ".It finally spoke, and Austin paused, throwing the key, the map, and the beastbone towards it.
The ethereal figure suddenly materialized a lump of information and tossed it towards Austin, who intercepted it with his soul sense."I would like a hundred cubic metre space ring, ten thousand high-quality mana crystals, the metal essence, ten thousand year five-element essence, the ten thousand year yin and yang essence, the arrays that can absorb mana from the environment, and information on Magnus Hale's inheritance. The tall figure looked at him deeply and finally uttered, "You chose the most valuable treasures. I should have broken protocol and let you insert the key, but since you honored your part of the deal, I shall do the same".
There was a series of tremors, and the statue sank, and a table rose containing the resources, and a talisman and ecstasy glimmered in his eyes and was quickly suppressed as it appeared. He picked the space ring, sent his soul sense and quickly imprinted it, dragged all the resour,ces and wore it on the empty ring finger of his other arm. He then sent his soul sense to the talisman and was shocked by what he found. It was Magnus Hale speaking to seemingly demi-gods about his inheritance location and requirements, leaving their inheritances to their descendants to defeat" the ones from beyond the sky".
"Who are the ones from beyond the sky?" he immediately asked, but the ethereal figure replied," My main body is bound by an ancient oath, and I cannot disclose, but since you read it from the communication talisman, I did not disclose."Austin sighed as he knew such oaths involved laws of the realm and could wipe out the will; even if the true body wouldn't be hurt, it was against its will.
"Seems like something deeper is going on, I would like to cultivate for a while in this place then leave and maybe lead some giants here if I find them, but they are heavily suppressed and it will be highly unlik ely", Austin hated making empty promises and he knew it was an avatar of will and also thought he had possessed a mortal so it wouldn't be too hard to convince it.
