Chapter 80: We Will Meet Again

Due to the decrease in members in Yale's group, Hyrk was resisting alone towards all the opponents except Kreg, who was still battling with Kermu.

Kermu saw that only the original group he had formed and Yale who joined them just at the start were still remaining, and after seeing how Hyrk was heavily injured, he took a decision.

Kermu used his most powerful attack, forcing Kreg to evade it, and then he used that time to run towards Hyrk attacking with all his power any opponents who were on his way.

Kermu grabbed Hyrk by his clothes and went towards the portal as fast as he could go. If he were too slow, Hyrk would die because Serka wasn't able to heal him at enough speed when he was battling so many opponents who were injuring him without stopping.

Hyrk's injuries were becoming something that surpassed Serka's healing capabilities. Those injuries were already at the level that couldn't be fully treated by someone at the Mortal Rank, so it wasn't Serka's fault.

Hyrk chose to receive such injuries to help the rest. He was prepared to die while protecting everyone. Hyrk decided to die like a hero instead of living like a coward who had lost his honor, that was the method Hyrk chose to use to pay for his previous mistake.

However, Kermu didn't want any of his friends to die, so he tossed Hyrk into the portal before it was too late.

"Serka, follow him! He may die before reaching the other side without your healing. With such injuries crossing a space-time passage is extremely dangerous."

Serka obeyed Kermu because everyone else had already left, and Nurvey was the one maintaining the barrier so she couldn't leave before them. Of course, as Yale was the one who was supporting the space-time passage, he couldn't go before them either.

"I will see you outside Yale. Don't worry about our family matters. I will manage to solve it."

Serka left after those words. She knew that as many people learned about Yale's true identity, it would be difficult to hide it.

Even if none of them had bad intentions towards Yale, it was easy that they tell it to someone because they didn't mention in any moment that it was secret, and even if they had said that it was a secreted, it would still be useless because the rumors would start to spread sooner or later.

Thus, she had to ensure enough backing for Yale because she was the first to reveal Yale's identity, so she wanted to compensate him.

Fortunately, Yale was in good relationship with at least one person of all the clans and the imperial family. Especially the Larken Clan and the Tofesh Clan that didn't lose any member thanks to Yale had an extremely good favorable impression of him.

The faction of the Zhan Clan who hated Yale's mother wouldn't be able to touch him if those two clans stood by his side, and Kermu's position in the Kurk Clan ensured that they would also stand by his side. Even Nurvey, with her personality, had spoken for Yale before.

Even Hyrk risked his life to follow Yale's plan. Yale had managed to forge good relationships with all the clans and the imperial family in the time they were in the Special Realm. There weren't many boys of his age who had such good relationships with all of them.

Kermu didn't waste time and followed behind Serka without saying any words. He understood the current situation better than Serka, and he knew very well how to help Yale after leaving the Special Realm.

As Nurvey's barrier wouldn't last for too long, Kermu had left directly to let Nurvey and Yale follow him quickly since they were at their limits.

Only Yale and Nurvey remained from their group. One was in charge of supporting the portal and the other the barrier.

However, since there wasn't anyone battling with the other party, the barrier was receiving all the attacks. If it weren't because Nurvey was going all out to maintain it, it would have been destroyed long ago. Even under those conditions, the barrier would only last for less than a minute.

As the barrier was reaching the limit, Yale shouted again.

"Nurvey, hurry! I won't be able to last more time, don't worry about the barrier and enter the portal!"

Yale was also at his limit, and Nurvey was the only one remaining, once she left, Yale wouldn't need to worry more.

Nurvey looked at Yale, implying that he should leave the Special Realm together with her.

"Once I enter into the passage, it will close. The passage isn't big enough to let both of us cross it while it is closing. Don't worry about me. I will be alright!"

Yale saw how Nurvey stepped into the passage with Wyba in her arms and smiled as Nurvey was already safe once stepped into the portal. The realm's self-destruction won't be able to affect any of his friends.

However, just before entering the portal, Wyba jumped from Nurvey's arms, avoiding entering into the passage.

Nurvey was shocked by Wyba's actions, but she already stepped into the passage and couldn't go back.

She understood the reason of Wyba's act, Yale didn't plan to leave the Special Realm, and Wyba didn't want to be separated from him.

"So, you noticed it, Wyba."

Yale stopped focusing on the portal as Wyba ran towards him. Because Wyba had a life-bound contract with him, she wouldn't be in any danger either when the Special Realm self-destroyed. However, Yale had thought that if she remained with Nurvey, the others would know that he was alright even if he didn't appear after the passage closed.

Yale had only bound two tokens in his life, one was with Swordmad in the Imperial City, and the other was in the Nacesai Academy.

Yale wasn't sure if his friends from the noble clans would be able to find out the existence of those tokens. Aizu knew the existence of the tokens, and one was with Swordmad at the exit, but since she feared the nobles, Yale wasn't confident that she would tell them about the token's existence.

"Sorry, Nurvey. I can't leave the realm with you all, but you don't need to worry, I will be alright. We will meet again."

After Yale finished speaking those words, the hole closed, and the barrier protecting him collapsed as it lost Nurvey's support.

Yale had chosen to remain alone even if he could do as he said to Nurvey and leave after her. The reason was his current sub-quest, which told him to be the last human remaining in the Special Realm after obtaining the altar's sword.

As all his friends had left and the ones remaining were all enemies, all the impediments to fulfilling the conditions of the quest had disappeared.

"So, you chose to die with us, or you still have a method to exit?"

Kreg asked with anger after being unable to kill a single one of his opponents before they left the realm.

"Don't worry, I can leave this place whenever I wish, the only problem I had was finding a method to help the others escape before this place was destroyed."

Yale didn't have anything to fear, so he decided to show off. After all, it was impossible that any of them managed to leave the Special Realm.

However, even if the others were angry with Yale, they didn't attack him. They went to attack Wyba because they weren't confident in killing Yale quickly, but Wyba looked like an easy prey.

Wyba jumped, and a pair of fluffy wings appeared on her back, she started flying and effortlessly avoided the incoming attacks.

Yale used his new sword to cut the guy who should have been the first in hit Wyba if she hadn't been able to fly into two parts.

Yale knew that Wyba had wings because her bloodline should have the same upgrade as his bloodline had due to the eagle's blood, but she never showed them before.

After Wyba showed her wings, Yale understood the situation. Unexpectedly Wyba also learned Shape Shift and could show or hide the wings at will.

Yale was sure that if Nurvey had seen Wyba's wings, she would caress them for days because they seemed to be very comfortable to touch.

The shameless nobles had never considered that Wyba had any power. She looked like a harmless pet, so they thought that killing her would be easy and would hurt Yale. Sadly, at least for them, the reality was that Wyba was at the 3-star Mortal Rank and had a mutated bloodline that provided wings to her.

Yale was able to kill the guy who attacked Wyba before he reached her even if Wyba hadn't acted to avoid him, but since she wanted to fight, Yale wouldn't stop her from attacking the rest.

Wyba didn't dare to attack them directly, but she started to throw Ice Spears towards them. That was the same skill Yale learned from Wyba's mother's Bloodline Legacy.

"You were already dead, but after trying to hurt my dear little sister, your new fate will be worse than death."

At the start, Yale wasn't planning to finish them all with his new sword because he felt that killing them would be enough. He hated them, but not at the same level he hated Heruk.

However, after they tried to hurt Wyba, all of their destinies changed to have their souls cursed by the altar's sword.
