Chapter 76: Time Slash

Yale only managed to devise that kind of skill due to the density of the time law inside the place and the inspiration received from Kermu’s skill, that kind of skill was something that surpassed his current level.

Heruk was being forced to step back as Yale attacked him because Yale finally managed to learn the skill correctly.

“The user successfully created the Law Skill [Time Slash]”

“Time Slash: The attack accelerates the time of any defenses while slowing the time of any wound inflicted. Time Law. Could be used by controlling the Time Law. The deficiency of control of the law could be substituted with Origin Points. A full power strike without relying upon any power of the Time Law would require 10.000 Origin Points.”

After Yale finally managed to execute the skill entirely, he went to check the skills’ description, and he became utterly shocked even if he was in his cold state.

Ten thousand Origin Points to use the skill at full power without relying upon the law’s power was an absurd quantity; Yale didn’t know when he would be able to have such amount.

The Law Skills were originally skills that could only be used by controlling the laws directly; Yale had a chance to change it by his own energy only because he had Origin Qi instead of other sources of energy, that was one advantage of the Origin Path.

Of course, as the Time Law density was enormous in the area he was battling, Yale was able to use the law power without difficulties, and the skill hadn’t any Origin Points cost.

In other situations, he would need to concentrate on executing the skill with only a tiny portion of its power. Furthermore, he would probably end like Kermu and would become unable to move afterward.

Kermu’s skill was also a Law Skill, but he usually combined it with a Wind Element Combined Skill to make it easier to use, even if that also lowered its power.

The main difference was that Kermu managed to learn that skill thanks to the awakening of his extremely pure bloodline, while Yale managed to do it by inspiration of Kermu’s skill and the aid of the special realm.

However, when everyone noticed that Yale had executed the skill without flaws they thought that Yale awakened an extremely pure Zhan Clan’s bloodline that let him learn such skill.

The members of the Zhan Clan knew that his mother had one of such extremely pure bloodlines, which was one of the reasons part of the clan considered her a traitor to the clan after leaving for marrying into a backwater clan.

Thus, it wouldn’t be strange if Yale had inherited such bloodline as the chances of inheriting such bloodlines were high, and that was the main reason the clans put such importance into marrying their talented descendants soon and ensure the bloodline continuity.

That guess was already turning Yale into someone outstanding in their generation, even if having a pure bloodline wasn’t something under Yale’s control, as he awakened it and larned such skill his status turned more important then before.

Of course, if they had seen Absolute Protection, they would think even higher about Yale, but only his teammates knew that Yale had such skill related to time. Even Heruk, who had seen it before didn’t know the true nature of the skill.

However, they never guessed that Yale didn’t awaken anything, but he learned it by himself. Given that he had been enlightened the first time he saw his own Absolute Protection, his understanding of the Time Law was higher than other kids of his age.

“Time Elemental Affinity: Mid grade upgraded to Time Elemental Affinity: Mid-high grade.”

“Time Elemental Affinity: Mid-high grade upgraded to Time Elemental Affinity: High grade.”

Yale’s affinity also increased two times when he started to execute the Law Skill flawlessly.

Heruk was starting to get scared, Yale’s attacks were breaking all his defenses and creating wounds that healed slowly even with the continuous Time Healing the Zhan Clan member cast on him.

He managed to avoid grat injuries since Yale had injured Heruk’s arm before. If he got just hit once after Yale had wholly learned the skill, his chances of survival would be low, as Yale wouldn’t let him enough time to recover.

Heruk had a wicked idea and decided to try it.

Heruk slowed down a bit, and when Yale was about to hit him, he grabbed the Zhan Clan member who was healing him and tossed it towards Yale’s attack. Heruk had decided that as he wasn’t able to treat his injuries, he was more useful as a sacrifice, Heruk never minded about the lives of the others after all.

Yale’s attack cut the Zhan Clan member into two before noticing that Heruk had changed positions with him, but as that guy was also his enemy, Yale didn’t mind, one enemy less.

The Zhan Clan member had also died without knowing the reason for his death; he never expected that after healing Heruk, the latter would betray him.

Heruk’s act was despicable even for vile people, using teammates in such way would only make that no one wanted to team up with him in the future because no one would believe in someone capable of doing such things to his own teammates.

Heruk didn’t lose his time and rushed towards where George was lying down.

George wasn’t unconscious, but he had been poisoned and was unable to move his body. If it weren’t for the poison, he would have battled until dying before become Heruk’s toy.

Heruk grabbed George again, and that time he tossed him towards the barrier which would kill George completely.

Heruk didn’t care about George’s life, but he minded about Yale’s openings when he tried to save him.

Yale knew that Heruk’s was planning to attack him when he went to save George, but he couldn’t let George die without doing anything. Thus, Yale rushed with all his speed to stop him from crashing onto the barrier.

Yale managed to stop George only a few meters away from the barrier, but he couldn’t relax as he expected that Heruk would attack him at that moment.

Indeed, Heruk attacked him in the next second; his power was higher than what Yale imagined, that was Heruk’s full power, but he used it to send Yale backward instead of focusing on injuring him.

Heruk strategy was the same as his group had used before, killing opponents by utilizing the realm traps. Yale had no time to avoid crashing towards the barrier.

Yale had less than one second to react, so he couldn’t do anything to avoid it. Fortunately, he and activated Absolute Protection just before Heruk attacked as he was expecting the attack and didn’t dare to underestimate Heruk.

However, Yale didn’t know if he would be able to survive with Absolute Protection as the barrier’s power was unfathomable.

When Yale clashed into the barrier, he thought that would feel a lot of pain like always his body was destroyed before the Absolute Protection negated it, and that was only the best situation he could think.

However, he wasn’t injured as he crossed the barrier like there was nothing there, the Absolute Protection area of effect nullified the barrier effects when Yale passed it.

Heruk couldn’t believe the situation, he was ready to start laughing at Yale’s death, but Yale was safe and had managed to cross the barrier without a single injury.

Heruk wasn’t the only one surprised, all the members of the Tofesh Clan who were examining the barrier couldn’t believe that someone crossed it without difficulties.

All the others also noticed Yale crossing the barrier; even the battles stopped to stare at him.

Those who knew about Yale’s Absolute Protection effects, at most had expected that Yale would disappear and then reappear in his previous position, but they didn’t expect that Yale would be able to pass across the barrier.

Yale was also unable to believe it because his Legacy Skill turned into the right method for crossing the barrier, it wasn’t that both effects fused and nullified as it seemed at first sight. Absolute Protection was the real key to open the barrier and Yale couldn’t believe that it was a coincidence.

“Obtain the altar’s sword and become the last human in the special realm. Reward: Legacy Skill.”

The sub-quest had updated at the moment he crossed the barrier, Yale couldn’t believe that it was a coincidence either.

Yale turned to the sword in the altar, since he had managed to cross the barrier at least he should pick the sword. The sword was the weapon Yale preferred for battle after all, and he had the intuition that grabbing the sword would solve his doubts about those unbelievable coincidences.

When Yale was about to grab the sword, an old voice resounded in his mind.

“It has been a long time my old friend. Finally, you came here to pick the sword. I was worried, but it seems that your reincarnation worked well.”
