As Claire spoke, she exuded a queenly aura that seemed to be able to command the admiration of everyone in the vicinity.
Ricky and Michael watched her in slack-jawed surprise, their eyes shining in admiration.
She felt like a vastly different person.
'What is up with Claire? Her aura suddenly changed! If I were her opponent, I would have felt greatly threatened.
That must be what Michael is feeling now,' Ricky thought, nodding to himself.
"Have you forgotten that Claire has the Polar Fish inside her? That's why you are feeling that way towards her," the Dragon Intent Grass explained.
"Ah, yes. I see!" Ricky replied, looking pensive.
Before long, it turned out that Ricky had guessed it right.
Claire's aura was giving off such a commanding aura that it frightened and awed Michael at the same time.
There could be two reasons that someone would feel this way. One reason could be that Clair was way too powerful, and the other was that her blood power was too strong.
However, it was evident that Claire didn't fit any of those reasons.
Despite her powerful and intimidating aura, Michael wouldn't back down. A ferocious glare flashed quickly through his eyes.
The mutant mark between his eyebrows released a dark light, which seemed to be communicating with the depths of hell. The light intensified in an instant, as it enveloped Michael and helped him restore his power.
As this was going on, Ricky also executed the skill of Resurrection.
Meanwhile, Claire remained still and silent as if she was giving Michael time to get his strength back.
She didn't launch a single attack, and before long, Michael's power returned to its peak.
But Michael didn't attack. Instead, he glared at Claire and asked, "What do you want from me?"
He didn't take action for two reasons. First of all, he thought that Ricky should be mostly recovered by now. And secondly, he figured Claire's threatening aura must have some kind of source.
"I want you to give up and leave here now. The inheritances here do not belong to you," Claire commanded.
"I admit that you are slightly intimidating with your aura, but if you want me to give up, that's not going to happen. The only way you can win this is if you fight me and defeat me. And when that time comes, I won't have any regrets even if I die at your hands," Michael declared firmly.
"If that's what you want, then I'll fight you," Claire answered shortly.
Boom!
In the next moment, she released all her momentum, which transformed her whole aura and made her look like she had truly become a queen.
The light belonging to the queen's inheritance descended on her, and a shadow appeared behind her.
It was a woman wearing a golden robe and a crown. She was Claire's spitting image.
"She has the queen's inheritance! I can't believe that it could choose its master, and it actually chose her!" Michael muttered in amazement.
His eyes were wide and gleaming, and for a few moments, he was lost in his thoughts.
'It's rare for the inheritance to choose its own master like this.
I guess the queen's inheritance had created that shadow, but why does she look like Claire?
Besides, based on the queen's will, Claire passed the test in the Illusionary Pool due to her special identity. I wonder what makes her so special...'
Ricky wondered as he gazed at the shadow behind Claire.
'Hmm... Could it be that Claire was the queen in her previous life?' This bold assumption surprised him.
"You're right, Ricky. I think Peter, too, must have guessed that Claire was the queen in her previous life and that she would have the inheritance. That's probably why he gave up and let Clair come here alone.
