Chương 81: The Shameless Group's End

Yale didn't waste any time and started attacking his opponents without mercy.

Wyba threw an Ice Spear to one of the guys creating an opening that Yale used to kill him.

Given the power of the sword Yale was wielding, a direct hit was instant death to any of the shameless nobles.

They were trying to harm Yale while avoiding his sword slashes, but Wyba's attacks were disturbing them, and the moment they ended up showing any openings, Yale would kill them without hesitation.

Yale had turned like a Death God who managed to kill almost all his opponents in just ten minutes without too much effort, and if the opponents weren't focused on avoiding, they would have died even faster.

The only one remaining was Kreg, who was also the most troublesome opponent of the shameless group.

"You really killed all of them... But I will kill you. You will never leave alive."

Kreg wasn't the type who felt pain for the death of others or someone who wanted revenge for some lackeys. He only felt that as the group leader, it was shameful that all his members were dead without anyone of his opponents dying.

Furthermore, as Kreg knew that he would die due to the Special Realm's self-destruction, so he didn't care about anything else and only wanted to also kill Yale.

"If you seek death, you will lose your life one day. That is something that your group wasn't able to understand before dying, and in the end, they all died as a consequence of their vicious acts. Moreover, you also don't understand it, and the fate that is awaiting you will be the same as theirs. If your group had never heard Heruk's words or tried to harm us, the situation would have been completely different."

Seeing that Yale didn't seem nervous and was even giving him a lecture about actions and consequences, Kreg was enraged.

"Shut up! What do you know? You are only a bastard son who isn't recognized by the Zhan Clan! You can't qualify as a real noble! You are just a trashy commoner! I have offended and killed a lot of people with a better social position than you, but nothing bad ever happened to me!"

Yale sighed as Kreg wasn't able to understand that as he continued to offend people his chances of dying only increased, Kreg and his group had sought death until they found it in the Special Realm.

Kreg suddenly attacked Yale using his full power boosted by the dense Space Law after Yale finished speaking, but Yale blocked the attack effortless with his sword.

"Sadly, the quality of your sword can't compare with mine. Your swordsmanship isn't bad. If you weren't such a despicable guy, I would have been glad to have a spar with you in the outside world."

Kreg's sword had broken into pieces after clashing with Yale's weapon. It wasn't only the difference in quality, Yale's sword was also able to absorb the Space Law, so Kreg's attack, which was infused with the Space Law, turned useless. Kreg was trying to use the boost obtained from the Special Realm's final room to battle the core of the Special Realm. There was no way it could work.

"Why? Why is someone like you more powerful than me? Why can you break my treasured sword? You should only be an insect under my shoes! It doesn't make sense that you can kill me! I can die due to the Special Realm's self-destruction, but how can this trash kill me?"

Kreg's mind was breaking as his extremely limited world vision broke apart after battling with Yale. Kreg had unwavering confidence that no one in his generation would be able to kill him, Kermu was able to fight at his same level, but he never considered that Kermu was able to end with his life.

When Yale was about to finish him, Kreg sneak-attacked Yale throwing a sword from his spatial artifact directly towards Yale's heart. Kreg refused to believe that Yale would be able to survive such an attack.

That was Kreg's final desperate attack, but it failed because Yale wasn't naive enough to let down his guard. Especially when the opponent was someone shameless as Kreg, being relaxed just because the opponent looked defeated wasn't intelligent.

After blocking the sword, Yale cut Kreg's head. It seemed more like an execution than the result of a battle because when Yale blocked the surprise attack, Kreg had lost any hopes to live and didn't try to block or avoid Yale's sword.

Kreg didn't know that his fate being killed by that sword would really be endless suffering until his soul dissipated. When Yale said that their fate would be worse than death, he only took it by a sort of speaking and didn't take it literally.

[The user's sword had cursed a soul with an affinity toward the Space Law. The user's soul absorbed some of that affinity, obtaining Space Elemental Affinity: Mid-low grade.]

Yale wasn't expecting to obtain some affinity by killing Kreg because he didn't get anything from killing the others. Kreg was almost as talented as Kermu regarding the space element, but he was always a step behind him, which had distorted his personality because he refused to be the number two.

The system wasn't able to absorb all the talent Kreg had, only a tiny bit, but that was enough for Yale to reach the mid-low grade affinity.

[The user received the Legacy Skill "Time Freeze" as the sub-quest reward.]

[Time Freeze: Stop the flow of time into an area, only the user and those allowed by the user will be unaffected. The size and duration will depend upon the control of the Time Law. It can't use any other kind of energy.]

Yale read the Legacy Skill's description three times until being sure he wasn't reading it wrong.

That Legacy Skill didn't have any restrictions like Absolute Protection, so Yale would be able to use it freely. However, as it relied only on Yale's control of the Time Law, it would be difficult to use in most situations because Yale didn't have such good control of the Time Law outside the Special Realm.

Yale thought that after giving his all, he would at most be able to freeze the time for a mere second if he had luck when casting it, but even if the opponent was only frozen by a mere second, that could change the battle's outcome.

The Special Realm's self-destruction had slowed after all the intruders were killed, but the process wouldn't stop. Yale felt sad because if the Special Realm hadn't started to self-destruct, with the core in hand, he would have obtained a lot of legacies without difficulty.

Yale thought about leaving the Special Realm, but first, he went to check his new sub-quest.

[Freeze the Special Realm's time and absorb its essence. Reward: System additional function: Appraisal.]

As Yale had expected, the weird sub-quests continued, but as he knew that his previous life had some relation to the creator of the Special Realm, it didn't seem as illogical as before.

Moreover, the reward it offered was a new system's function. Yale only had one quest with a reward of that type, but he needed to complete the first Main Chain Quest entirely to obtain it.

Yale knew that he had almost no time until the Special Realm completed the self-destruction, so he tried to use Time Freeze immediately.

Thanks to the density of the Time Law in the area, the skill was a success despite being Yale's first try. Furthermore, as the Special Realm's time stopped, the realm's self-destruction had also stopped.

Wyba was also frozen in the mid of the air, but with a thought of Yale, she returned to normal. That part of the skill was very useful.

Yale went to the altar and sat there because he didn't know how much time he would need to absorb the essence the sub-quest said. As the altar was the point where the core was, it was also the point with a higher density of the Time Law.

"Come here, Wyba. Try to absorb a bit of essence too."

Since both were connected, if Yale could absorb it, then Wyba could also do it. Yale wanted Wyba to become stronger so that she would have a safer future because Yale wouldn't always be capable of protecting her in battle.

The time was stopped inside the Special Realm, but Yale's time continued to move like in the outside world.

Going back to the outside world.

After Nurvey had left the space-time passage, it closed instantly, and the connection with the Special Realm was lost.

Furthermore, since the Special Realm was self-destructing itself, it wouldn't be possible to open a new passage.

Even with her usual cold behavior, Nurvey's face showed worry, she had traveled a lot with Yale and Wyba, and she was really worried by them despite Yale seeming confident in surviving.

The same worry appeared in the faces of Serka and Kermu. They were staring at the portal before it closed without Yale going out.

On the other hand, Durgan, who had just left George with the healers of the Zhan Clan, didn't seem worried. He believed that the guy he chose for his sister would be able to survive without problems.
