Last Wish System

Chapter 209

As Yale started to obtain an advantage on the battle, those who betted for him were regretting hadn't bet more as they would receive thousand Sword Points per point if Yale won . Although some people had bet for Yale expecting a miracle, except one person's bet, all the other bets were of just one Sword Point .

The only person who didn't bet just one point went to the extreme of betting all her points directly; that person was Lar who had complete confidence in that Yale would win despite the difference in rank with his opponent .

Her face had been a bit grim when Yale had been sent flying after being in a disadvantage the whole battle, but she started to grin after that moment when Yale started to obtain the advantage and made two consecutive breakthroughs .

"Liye likes to play too much; if he wanted to delay the battle to use it for comprehending some essence he didn't need to play the weak that much, he scared me to the death . However, Liye is still as awesome as always, being at such a low level and he already can start comprehending the essence again . "

Lar had yet to start to understand any essence after reincarnation, but that was normal; although someone who reincarnated had an easier time comprehending essences they had comprehended in their past life, doing it at the Novice Rank without any guide was something no one did . In fact, Lar even doubted that someone managed to do it at the Apprentice Rank without someone guiding the path like she believed Yale did . Of course, Lar would never think about Yale inheriting his own Condensed Sword Essence, because that was considered impossible .

In her past life, Lar had only comprehended some Sword Essence, but she was far from reaching a complete comprehension . She was extremely talented, but her talent was outshone completely by Liye .

The battle continued, and Selenia started to have a grim look on her face, she was unable to do anything to Yale while she was slowly being damaged and started to feel tired . She had been in Sword City since she was little and she only knew about direct pure swordsmanship battles, an attrition battle with a combination of attacks at short -range and long-range was something she had never seen before .

"You are really a monster . I had never seen someone like you before . "

Selenia started to fear even more Yale's background because she couldn't believe that someone with such ability didn't have any background or any fame; since she hadn't heard about him before, she believed that Yale belonged to a formidable background who sheltered him until he appeared in Sword City .

In fact, she started to think that Yale belonged to the Larken Clan; given Yale's display of strength and ability, she wasn't the only one thinking that Yale was a member of the Larken Clan who was bored and went to Sword City to play a bit .

There was no way they knew that Yale's ability was better than a top genius of the Larken Clan like Lar, who was also in Sword City concealing her true identity .

Of course, although Yale wasn't a member of the Larken Clan, he was the reincarnation of one of its founders, so he couldn't be considered completely unrelated to them despite how he felt .

"If you already think that I am a monster wait until the day when you see my power without the restriction of the Sword Arena rules . "

Yale could only think that after hearing Selenia; he knew very well that his main strength wasn't pure swordsmanship, but his versatility . The rules of the Sword Arena just made him weaker than he should be .

"The user reached Origin Level 26 . "

As Yale advanced again the people were starting to doubt about their senses; they couldn't understand how someone could increase the realm that easily and quickly .

Fortunately, they didn't know about the increase in Yale's stats because that was even more monstrous than just increasing the energy to advance in level .

The battle continued for some minutes, but then Selenia dropped her sword . She had lost her will to battle .

"I lost this battle . I still have the strength to fight, but my pride tells me that being cornered that much by a youth at the Apprentice Rank is shameful enough . I am clearly inferior in swordsmanship, without my superior strength, I would have lost long ago . My pride won't let me try to win this battle by all means after having understood my inferiority in swordsmanship . "

Selenia was someone with a huge pride, and for people like her, damaging that pride was far more effective than injuring their bodies . Moreover, their battle was for show and train, not some kind of fight to the death, so Selenia didn't feel like going all out risking it all to win the battle .

Selenia had the intuition that even if she tried to battle in that way, she would just lose more quickly because Yale seemed more used to real battles than her who was just used to pure swordsmanship battles . Her intuition was right, if she really ignored the rules to battling all out with him, Yale wouldn't be a fool just to use swordsmanship and that Yale wouldn't be someone she could defeat .

In fact, Yale just needed to take out his wings and battle with magic and arrows to finish Selenia without receiving even one hit; a flying opponent was a true desperation in a battle for those who couldn't fly nor use long-range attacks .

The announcement of Selenia's defeat provoked an uproar in the audience, that result was really unexpected as almost everyone was convinced that Yale didn't even plan to win and just wanted to learn from the battle .

Those who had betted for Yale were extremely happy; although except Lar, the others who betted for Yale had only betted one point, they had won one thousand points, so their only regret was that they hadn't betted even more Sword Points for Yale .

On the other hand, those who had betted for Selenia felt betrayed for Selenia's lack of interest in winning by all means due to her pride, but even they felt that without breaking the rules, it would be difficult beat Yale since the moment Selenia agreed to let him use the Spiritual Sense .

Yale's display of Spiritual Sense enlightened a lot of people, those who were still under sixteen also decided to train the Magus Path to try to become like Yale, and those who had trained the Magus Path until the Novice Rank but ignored it afterward decided to train it again .

Sadly, those over sixteen who hadn't trained the Magus Path could only regret their decisions and lack talent .

However, from that moment on, the thought of Sword City about the Magus path being useless for pure swordsmanship changed completely as Yale had demonstrated that just with Spiritual Sense and swords, it was possible to increase a lot the ways to battle .

Yale had won the battle, but he was also somewhat pissed by Selenia giving up because he felt that he could still improve a bit more . However, battling against an opponent without intention to fight wouldn't work well .

Yale stored his swords before checking the system to verify his current progress; he just battled a bit after his last breakthrough, but there was still a lot of improvement .

"Name: Yale Age: 15 Origin Level: 26 Origin Points: 5854/5854"

"Vitality: 5881 Strength: 5994 Agility: 5945 Intelligence: 6000 Wisdom: 6000 Dexterity: 5812"

His overall stats were more than double compared to before starting the battle, so he was still happy, but he wanted to improve more . Yale also knew that although he hadn't improved as much as he could with his current comprehension, the difference wasn't too much .

Yale left the arena while checking the Quest Menu to know his next sub-quest; the previous reward had been something that surpassed Yale's expectations, so he was eager to see the next sub-quest .

"Obtain and awaken the Sword Bloodline . Reward: Legacy Skill . "

Some information about how to obtain the Sword Bloodline appeared in Yale's mind as he read the sub-quest .

There were two methods to obtain such bloodline, one was quick and the other slow . However, the quick one was completely evil while the main problem with the slow method was that it was somewhat difficult to fulfill the conditions to do it .
