Last Wish System

“So what? You have compromised that guy with someone of your clan, but I have compromised Yale with my little sister, so he is almost my brother-in-law. If you want to kill him, you will die under my sword.”

Durgan disliked the other party, and that was a good moment to announce to more people that he had compromised Yale with his sister, that way it would be more difficult for Yale to run without trying to meet his sister before.

Yale didn’t like the reason Durgan gave for helping him, because Durgan had used the engagement with his little sister and that would mean more problems to Yale. However, he wouldn’t refuse Durgan’s help because he was a powerful ally and having him as an ally was equal to having the five Larken Clan members as allies.

“Are you serious? Are you opposing to our Zhan Clan by giving shelter to a traitor?”

The Zhan Clan member was enraged, he had already thought that Yale and Serka were dead, but in the end, they were alive, and even Durgan chose to side with them.

Both parties had members of the same clans, so there was no clan deterrence to stop them.

However, Durgan was from the Larken Clan, and all the members of that clan were in his group. If he chose to help one group that group would have a clan that the other didn’t have and thus it would be a more serious matter as the other party would really be offending the Larken Clan.

“You are the ones lying to our Larken Clan, and also the ones who lost all the honor from the noble clans. You are the ones opposing to our Larken Clan, and you are also traitors to all the noble clans and the imperial family. Our duty as nobles is to punish you for your evil actions on behalf of our elders, to clear the honor you tarnished with your actions.”

Durgan’s position in the Larken Clan was far higher than the position the other party had in the Zhan Clan, so there was no way the other party could reply to his words.

They had indeed offended the Larken Clan when they started to act shamelessly and without honor. The Larken Clan valued the honor too much compared with other clans, to the Larken Clan their group’s actions from before like torturing or lying to kill the ones they dislike were a death penalty.

All the other members of the Larken wielded their swords, they also disliked shameless people without honor and would follow their leader to battle with them if the other party dared to attack.

“Birgh, we are allies, right? Since the Larken Clan have decided to help them, your clan should help us!”

The member of the Zhan Clan who was in the last group, but had joined the shameless group’s attack, directed his words to the most powerful member of the Tofesh Clan, a girl called Birgh, trying to obtain her support.

If the Tofesh Clan helped their group, they would be in the same conditions as Yale’s group with the Larken Clan help.

“I haven’t any plans to help anyone in such personal disputes. Our Tofesh Clan dislikes the conflict, and we are only interested in examining that sword in the altar, so we will focus on studying that barrier. If someone dares to disturb us, then that person will be our enemy.”

Birgh’s words were clear, she wasn’t interested in helping her teammate nor the other party, but if someone disturbed her, she would act.

As no one else dared to ask for her help, she led her fellow clan members to the barrier to start looking for a method to break it.

Yale’s faction had more members than Heruk’s one, but they didn’t dare to low their guard as they were facing shameless opponents that wouldn’t care about the methods to win.

“If you dare to move, I will rip his other limbs, and we will heal him with natural healing again!”

Heruk grabbed George by his neck while using him as a hostage.

“Even if I don’t move, you already said that you would do the same to him, there isn’t any difference.”

In fact, George would suffer more being slowly tortured than if Heruk did it quickly. As Heruk wasn’t planning to forgive George and his whole group was decided to kill Yale and his teammates, there was no chance that taking George as a hostage would work.

Heruk tossed George to the ground; he didn’t have time to torture him as he would be attacked when he tried, even if he killed George that wouldn’t make their fight easier, with him alive at least would distract Yale a bit.

Kreg was the first to charge towards Kermu, he also wielded a sword, but his sword had spikes on it to make his opponents suffer more.

After Kreg make his move, the group battle started.

Hyrk and Durgan faced the two members of the Hyeran Clan; Hyrk’s situation moved Durgan, so he decided to help him as he seemed to need more help than Yale or Kermu.

Heruk followed by the Zhan Clan member and the imperial family member from his shameless group faced Yale.

The other Zhan Clan member who chose to join the fight and the two other members from the Kurk clan were battling with the four members of the Larken Clan who were protecting Aizu, Serka, and Nurvey who were offering support from behind.

Yale was boosted by Nurvey, while Heruk was boosted by the imperial family member in his side and had the Zhan Clan member to heal him.

Yale didn’t dare to low his guard with Heruk as they were in a battle without rules. Even if Yale had become far stronger than in the tournament, he didn’t dare to underestimate Heruk.

Yale used his Water Battle Armor and attacked Heruk, but Heruk’s body was more though than the golems Yale had battled before, so Heruk’s body wasn’t damaged.

“Hahaha! You can’t hurt me, die!”

Heruk tried to attack Yale after the latter’s attack was ineffective, but Yale evaded it easily.

“You were too lucky, but you won’t evade the next one!”

Yale continued attacking an evading non-stop, but Heruk remained uninjured.

The most eye-catching battle wasn’t theirs, but the one between Kermu and Kreg, both were incredibly talented in the space element, and their attacks were extremely powerful.

Yale couldn’t avoid looking at them.

“If I were able to use a skill sharp as Kermu’s sword skill, Heruk would be easy to deal.”

Yale was thinking about that when he had a sudden inspiration.

“Time and space were somewhat related, like in the space-time passage. I can try to use time similar to how Kermu uses space.”

Yale used his next attack applying the bit of enlightenment he obtained.

Heruk screamed with pain as a big wound appeared on his arm, Yale’s attack wasn’t able to cut it, but he managed to damage it.

“It isn’t perfect yet.”

Yale murmured those words and attacked Heruk again, that time Heruk tried to evade, so his next wound was smaller than the first.

However, the Zhan Clan member who was healing him found more difficult healing the small wound than the big one.

“It isn’t enough.”

At that moment, Yale had almost forgotten everything else; his mind was focused on developing the skill he devised.

“This can’t be true! How can your sword hurt me!”

Yale didn’t reply; he only continued to attack. If he weren’t so focused on developing the skill, he would have noticed that his Origin Points didn’t drop while using the skill he was developing. That skill didn’t need Origin Qi, nor any type of energy inside the user’s body.

Kermu and Kreg stopped their battle and looked to Yale with strange faces. The skill Yale was using was similar to the one Kermu had developed and made him famous. However, there weren’t any space ripples surrounding Yale’s sword; there were time ripples surrounded it.

In fact, even Kermu was managing to use his Space Sword Skill without difficulties. The reason was that the laws of time and space were far denser than on the outside, using any space or time-related skill became easier due to that.

That was also the reason the Zhan Clan members who were using Time Healing were managing to use it non-stop in battle without ending exhausted.

“Heruk, this guy is using a skill related to time with his sword. I don’t know how his skill works, but your wounds are becoming more difficult to heal!”

The healer who was treating Heruk’s wounds in the midst of the battle shouted after seeing the increasing difficulty in treating Heruk’s injuries; he feared to be unable to continue healing him at that rate.

The skill Yale was developing was a weird one as it accelerated and decelerated the time surrounding the sword.

The time in the opponent’ s defense was accelerated weakening the defense until the sword can cut the flesh. However, it can’t affect living beings, the time accelerated for the boost spells and skills, and thus the sword only needed to cut through the standard defense of a 3-star mortal.

Moreover, the injury generated by the attack was affected by a deceleration that made the healing of the wound more difficult.
