Chapter 390 Arcane Sword Arts Codex
Eric finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the shimmering Book of Inheritance.
"Guess that means the trial's over," he said, picking up the loot scattered on the ground and walking over to the floating Book of Inheritance.
He tapped on the information display of the Book of Inheritance.
System: Completion rate 70%. Do you wish to open the Book of Inheritance and accept the legacy?
"Only 70%?" Eric was a bit surprised. He checked again to make sure he hadn't misread it.
After all the effort to defeat Doron, a peak-level Magic Knight, he only managed 70% completion...
In Divine Realms: Legends, legacies are graded, and each grade varies based on the completion rate of the trial.
51% to 60% completion is rated C, granting basic legacy skills.
61% to 70% completion is rated B, granting basic legacy skills plus 1 to 3 legacy skill points.
71% to 80% completion is rated A, granting basic legacy skills plus 5 to 9 legacy skill points.
81% to 90% completion is rated S, granting basic legacy skills plus 10 to 18 legacy skill points.
91% to 100% completion is rated SS, granting basic legacy skills plus 20 to 36 legacy skill points.
Legacy skill points are used to unlock profession skills in the Book of Inheritance. The more powerful the skill, the more legacy skill points required to unlock it.
The number of powerful skills a player has significantly impacts their combat strength, especially profession skills.
Thus, legacy skill points are extremely important.
However, obtaining legacy skill points isn't easy. Besides gaining 1 point every 3 levels after acquiring the Book of Inheritance, they can only be earned through special tasks and challenges, making them very rare.
Eric wasn't satisfied with just 3 legacy skill points from a B rating. Having obtained one of the Top Ten Sacred Inheritances, he needed more than 3 points. With a 70% completion rate, just 1% more would bump him to an A rating, granting at least 5 legacy skill points. The 2-point difference would require leveling up six times to make up.
"70% completion... Did I get such a low score because I took a shortcut to defeat Doron?" Eric declined to open the Book of Inheritance and pondered.
In his previous life, Eric remembered that legacy trials required completing specific tasks to increase the completion rate. He had been in the Source Sword Realm for four days, constantly observing and noting any peculiarities to avoid missing anything that could lower his completion rate.
Despite his careful observation, even thoroughly checking Sword Peak Mountain from base to summit, he hadn't found anything special.
"What did I miss?"
Eric believed he had done everything perfectly, not missing any suspicious spots. He had even gathered the design plans for the Broken Steel Set. The monsters at the base of the mountain, like Skeleton Warriors, Bone Giants, and Blade Demons, respawned infinitely, making it impossible to clear them all.
"Could it be something else?"
Eric put away the Book of Inheritance and took out a black sword-shaped key and a silver tablet from his backpack.
Dolan's Key was a peculiar key emitting a faint ancient magic.
The Arcane Sword Arts Codex had a very blurry and incomplete pattern, providing no information. However, the pattern contained some divine power. Collecting all six tablets would restore the pattern. Current count: (1/6).
Eric had never heard of the Arcane Sword Arts Codex before, but it didn't seem related to the legacy trial. Collecting six tablets seemed unlikely, especially since Sword Peak Mountain wouldn't have another powerful enemy like Doron.
The key was the only possibility.
As the final boss of Sword Peak Mountain, Doron dropped a key named after him, which must be related to the mountain.
"If there's a key, there must be a place on Sword Peak Mountain where it can be used."
Eric put away the key and tablet and began a thorough search from the bottom up, meticulously exploring every part of Sword Peak Mountain.
Meanwhile, significant changes were happening across Eldoria.
Major cities in Eldoria were clearing level 10 team dungeons, triggering system announcements and stirring up activity.
The competition sparked by Aether Wing led guilds to frantically chase reputation, aiming to secure their guild bases sooner.
Despite Smile Over Ruins spending heavily to poach members from Aether Wing, causing some damage, Aether Wing continued to grow, expanding from over ten thousand members to nearly twenty thousand.
Aether Wing members generally had high levels.
In Silvervale City, average players were around level 18, and elite guild members were around level 21. Aether Wing's regular members were level 20, and elite members were above level 22.
Though the elite players of different guilds were only a level apart, the experience gap was significant.
Tasks issued by NPCs in guild bases were mostly high-level, offering substantial experience and excellent rewards, including more money. Aether Wing members earned two to three times more daily than members of other guilds, making them the envy of many players.
This advantage prevented Smile Over Ruins' high-priced poaching from crippling Aether Wing.
"Isabella, are you really going through with this?" Scarlet asked anxiously.
"I don't want to, but I have to take this risk. You know what the outcome will be if I don't," Isabella said, frowning slightly as she looked at the intelligence report she had just received.
"But..." Scarlet wanted to persuade her but stopped, knowing that a battle was inevitable, even if it came sooner than expected. "You saw the intelligence Isabella just received. With our current strength, we can't win."
"Don't worry. I wouldn't take such a risky move without confidence," Isabella said with a faint smile, recalling Kai Blackthorn's fighting silhouette.
Scarlet was surprised to see Isabella's confident smile despite the current predicament.
Back at Sword Peak Mountain, Eric spent most of the day searching and finally found a suspicious-looking pool halfway up the mountain.
"This place seems a bit odd."
Eric slowly approached the pool and dipped his hand in. Within moments, his hand felt numb from the cold. The water was freezing; if he went in, he'd surely freeze to death.
