SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Carrying Kent and Tata Lan, the Fire Kirin streaked across the landscape like a comet, a blazing trail of light in the encroaching darkness. Kent's heart pounded as he recalled Herb Lady's ominous warning about the impending danger.

Without a moment's hesitation, he altered his course, eyes darting around for a suitable place to outwit the unseen, invisible predator trailing them.

For 30 tense minutes, it was a relentless game of cat and mouse. The invisible beast's presence was an oppressive shadow, its movements only betrayed by the occasional rustle or inexplicable shiver in the air.

Suddenly, Kent's keen eyes caught sight of a massive tree, its trunk wide enough to accommodate his daring plan.

In one fluid motion, he drew his bow and nocked a blasting arrow. With the precision of a seasoned warrior, he released it, the arrow cutting through the air before slamming into the tree's base.

"Boom!"

The dull explosion carved a gaping hollow at the base of the tree. Smoke and debris scattered, but Kent wasted no time. He leaned forward, communicating with the Fire Kirin through beast tongue.

Understanding his intention, the Kirin surged forward with an unimaginable burst of speed, disappearing into the distance before executing a perfect U-turn.

They sped back towards the tree, diving into the newly-formed cave. Inside, Kent quickly unfurled the Ethereal Canvas of Entrapment, an artifact he had acquired at great expense from wizard association auction.

He chanted the activation spell hurriedly, his voice echoing in the confined space. The canvas shimmered, its surface transforming to reflect an empty, undisturbed tree cave to any outside observer.

Kent and Tata Lan crouched behind the illusion, their breaths shallow, eyes trained on the entrance.

Minutes stretched into an eternity. Tata Lan's still has a little doubt about the invisible beast, but Kent's faith in Herb Lady's warning kept him resolute.

Suddenly, Kent's eyes widened. He felt a disturbance, a subtle shift in the canvas' magic. Something had entered the trap, but the invisible beast remained unseen. The tension in the air was palpable as he waited, mind racing with thoughts.

After what seemed like an age, Kent finally breathed in relief.

"We got it," he whispered, though uncertainty still lingered. They had ensnared the creature, but it's true form remained a mystery.

"We can't stay here," Kent said decisively. "We've got to move on, Quick.

They cautiously emerged from the tree cave, leaving the invisible beast trapped inside the magical canvas.

After confirming that no other danger looming over them, Kent and Tata Lan shifted their focus onto the sound of running water, deciding to leave the forest without stopping for any random treasures.

As the Fire Kirin galloped forward, its fiery mane cutting through the dense foliage, Kent leaned forward, channeling his aura to enhance their speed. Tata Lan wrapped her arms around Kent's chest, pressing her head against his back for stability and comfort.

The rain poured down in sheets, each drop battering their bodies like tiny hammers, but the Kirin's blazing heat vaporized the water on contact. Their clothes, soaked moments ago, began to dry in the creature's warm aura.

Navigating the forest was no easy feat. The Kirin took several twists and turns, following the natural flow of the rainwater as it cascaded down the slopes.

Kent's sharp eyes caught subtle clues that revealed a hidden formation within the forest, designed to confuse and mislead anyone who tried to walk straight. Even though following the rainwater was a simple trick, it was a method that many would overlook.

After few hours…

"We're getting closer," Kent shouted as he observed the change in aura and sound of a big river flowing in distance. He could feel the forest thinning, the oppressive canopy giving way to glimpses of the sky.

As they approached close the edge of the forest, they began encountering all types of beasts.

But the magical umbrella of Spear Magus, hid their aura and presence from deadly beasts. Its protective enchantment cloaked their presence, rendering them invisible to the beasts.

The Fire Kirin's pace never faltered, its fiery hooves barely touching the ground as it sped towards their goal. The sound of rushing water grew louder, a roaring torrent that marked the boundary between the forest and the inheritance grounds.

The river was wide and treacherous, its waters swollen by the relentless rain. Rocks jutted out of the current, and the water churned violently around them.

There several rock obstacles inside the river and Kent communicated with Fire Kirin to cross the river using these rock stubbles.

Kent tightened his grip on the Kirin's mane. "Hold on, Tata Lan! This is going to be rough!"

The Kirin leaped onto the first rock, its hooves igniting upon contact. The creature's agility was unmatched, its movements precise and powerful. It bounded from rock to rock, each leap a testament to its strength. Tata Lan held on tightly, her heart pounding in her chest as they soared over the raging river.

Midway through their crossing, a massive wave surged towards them, threatening to sweep them away. The Fire Kirin reared back, its flames flaring in defiance. Kent summoned his energy, merging it with the Kirin's, and together they unleashed a blazing inferno. The wave evaporated in an explosion of steam, clearing their path.

With one final, mighty leap, the Fire Kirin landed on the far bank of the river. They had crossed the boundary, leaving the thick forest behind. The rain began to subside, the storm breaking apart as they entered the open plains that led to the inheritance grounds.

Kent dismounted, helping Tata Lan down. They both took a moment to catch their breath, the adrenaline still coursing through their veins. The air here was different, charged with the ancient power that guarded the inheritance.

Ahead of them lay a vast expanse of land, dotted with ruins and mysterious structures. The promise of untold power and knowledge beckoned them forward.

Kent turned to Tata Lan, his eyes filled with determination. "We might be the first ones to come here. Let's check the big places first."

Tata Lan nodded, her resolve matching his. "Let's claim all these treasures to ourselves, Big brother." She giggled, forming dimples on her cheeks.

They climbed back onto the Fire Kirin, ready to explore the vast mysterious land. The Fire Kirin galloped across the plains, its flames blazing brighter than ever. The river behind them roared, a reminder of the peril they had faced and conquered.

After moving further into the inheritance ground, they first flew towards a tallest point to check out the important places.

The landscape before them transformed into a breath-taking expanse that stretched for thousands of miles. The air was crisp and filled with the scent of autumn leaves, mingling with the faint aroma of blooming flowers.

Golden and crimson foliage blanketed the ground, painting a picturesque scene reminiscent of an autumn heaven.

A treasure land filled with unparalleled beauty. Towering trees with leaves of gold and ruby swayed gently in the breeze, their branches glistening with morning dew.

Streams of crystal-clear water wound through the landscape, their surfaces reflecting the vibrant colors of the foliage above.

Ancient ruins dotted the terrain, remnants of a long-forgotten civilization. Majestic stone pillars adorned with intricate carvings stood tall, their surfaces etched with symbols of the Storm God's power. Glowing runes pulsed faintly, hinting at the hidden magic that still lingered in this sacred place.

Kent and Tata Lan dismounted from the Fire Kirin, their eyes wide with awe. The sheer beauty of the inheritance grounds left them speechless. The oppressive tension from the forest melted away, replaced by a sense of wonder and reverence.

"This... this is incredible," Tata Lan exclaimed, her voice filled with amazement. She stepped forward, her hand reaching out to touch the delicate petals of a nearby flower. It shimmered under her touch, releasing a soft, ethereal glow.

Kent nodded, his eyes scanning the horizon. "It's like we've stepped into a different world," he murmured. "The Storm God's legacy... it's beyond anything I imagined."

They both descended from the tall cliff and began moving towards interesting building in the distance. Kent began noting down visited placed to make a map for better understanding.

The ground beneath their feet was soft, a mix of fallen leaves and rich, fertile soil. Birds with iridescent feathers flitted between the trees, their songs harmonizing with the gentle rustle of leaves. The sky above was a brilliant canvas of oranges, pinks, and purples.

While Tata Lan lost herself in the beauty of inheritance ground, Kent began thinking about treasure trove palace and other places mentioned in the book about Storm god inheritance.

As they moved forwards, an invisible pressure began acting on them and his two pets lost the ability to fly high.

Jabil began crawling on the ground and Fire Kirin walking behind Kent. While on path Kent's two pets began collecting all types of fruits and herbs without wasting time for Kent.
