Chapter no.7 Ancestral Demonic Saint Land

[ POV Change ]
[ Isaac's POV ]
Was I dead ?
No .... that can't be .
I can still feel something cold touching against my back .
Twitching my hand , I felt my finger brush against an edge .
My eyelids opened so much so that I could barely see but it wasn't obvious that I was awake .
The glimpse I had before closing my eyes was that I was not in that hallway but rather some kind of open space .
Had the hallway been weakened from me the dust explosion and the fight with that golem was the last straw that broke the camel's back ?
Or Had someone picked me up and patched me since I don't feel any kind of pain ?
Hmmm ..... My mysterious saviour or saviour is either really kind or they want something from me .
Let's find out .
...
[ POV Change ]
Isaac's eye flew open as he dramatically jerked up as if he was portraying that he had just woken up from a nightmare .
Isaac twisted and turned as he looked around .
This place reminded Isaac of the Chambers of Secret in Harry potter but with a more fantasy like aesthetic to it .
Rows of stair all connected to one giant circle in the middle which had statues surrounding it .
It was as if he had fallen inside a cult chamber .
Ignoring those irrelevant thoughts , Isaac looked around to see a hole that might indicate that he fell into this place but the entire chamber looked completely fine which confirmed his guess that he had been transported to this place by someone but why ?
" Looks like you are awake . " A voice echoed throughout the chamber as Isaac jolted up .
Looking around Isaac couldn't find a single soul in sight .
" ( ~ Snort ~ ) You think a mortal like you are worthy of seeing my presence ."
Hearing the words of the voice , Isaac's mind raced as he analyzed the words and with a bow exclaimed ," My apologies Oh ! Great One , I know I am not worthy but may I get , this great blessing of being able to catch a glimpse of you ."
As if pleased with Isaac's words the voice called out ," Hmm , You may ."
The giant circle in the middle of the underground chamber lit as wisps of yellow energy swirled around a the silhouette of a male .
The layer of yellow covering the silhouette broke into pieces as Isaac covered his eye from the brightness .
" Mortal ! Find yourself lucky for you have the chance of gazing upon a God ."
Isaac blinked a few times as he looked at the extremely handsome male sitting in a lotus position held by chains attached to his wrists in the middle of circle .
What shocked Isaac was that the more he looked at the presumed deity the more his eyes stung ?
Isaac's mind went blank for a second as he couldn't believe what he was seeing .
Long jet black hair , a handsome face decorated by what looked like cracks on one side of the face , sword like eye brows . While wearing somewhat damaged clothes , Isaac could clearly see the bandages covering his wrists and torso but the stinging sensation in his eyes and mind left Isaac in a great deal of pain .
( A.N : Imagine this )



Overall it gave Isaac a surreal experience as he pinched himself.
Feeling Isaac's gaze , the deity smirked with pride as he saw that his appearance had left the mortal's mind completely blank .
" Mortal ! "
Isaac immediately jolted up as he gave all of his attention to the words of the presumed deity .
" Answer me , how can someone as weak as you come to this place ? "
Isaac's mind raced thousands of miles per second as he tried to think of an explanation he could give the presumed deity .
The presumed deity could easily look through someone's memories but there was only one problem . Isaac was too weak which would have resulted in him being dead if the presumed deity had actually read his memories and for the presumed deity this was not an option on the table if he wanted to accomplish the task of his master .
" Actually forget it I don't care ." The deity exclaimed as he snapped his fingers .
Isaac saw wisps of energy float infront of him as two things floated towards him .
A rectangular jade piece with a single symbol engraved into it along with a bell.
The two things floated into Isaac's hands which left his dumbfounded as he looked up to the deity who just smirked and said ," While you are weak you have shown me that you are still worthy of inheriting my legacy ."
" W...What ?! "
" That Jade slip and soul weapon is my legacy , my successor carry the name of the Ancestral Demonic Saint Land with pride ! "
With that , the presumed deity disappeared as his silhouette broke into shards which disappeared a few second after , leaving behind an Isaac who just stood there .
His mind completely dumbfounded from what had just occured .
Isaac looked at the jade slip and bell as he gripped both of these things as hard as he could ... confirming to himself that he was not dreaming . An immortal had just passed on his legacy to him .
Feeling like he was the protagonist , Isaac wanted to shout out in absolute joy but controlled himself as he bowed to the circle and began to look at the jade slip and bell but a thought remained in his head .
' Ancestral Demonic Saint Land , where have I heard that name like that before .'
In the circle , the presumed deity sinisterly smirked as he thought .
' Why does this trick always works ? Legacy ... pfft as if I would ever give my legacy to trash like you from this backwater world . Hurry up and start Cultivating so that I could absorb another one of you and get my soul to the same resonance as this damn world and finally get free from this damn prison .'
