Chapter 137: Soul-Searching To the bear-eared man, everyone was only a chess piece to be used by him; he didn’t consider them different than normal beasts which he could kill whenever he wanted, and he didn’t trust any of them. He only let his subordinates live because they were useful to him.

That was why he went personally to kidnap Aiwai and made all his powerful followers to go with him; he felt that any of his subordinates could try to cheat him and sold her to other power or steal something belonging to him while he was assaulting Aiwai. He didn’t worry about weaklings, but the ten Rank 7 experts would have an easy time to betray him if he lowered his guard, a lot of powers would be glad to have a Rank 7 lackey.

He was a paranoid who never believed in others; he was hoping to learn the soul-searching skill someday to be able to spy everyone without the help of any formation.

“Will you explain that method to me? I heard that with the target’s collaboration the chances of success increases.”

Yale was ready to summon Tar at any moment, but he still hoped to find a method to win without needing to use his trump cards. The fact the bear-eared man wanted to do something to his soul caught Yale’s attention, Yale’s soul wasn’t normal, and even the system was in his soul.

The bear-eared man seemed happy with Yale’s behavior; he thought that Yale knew what was good for him and wanted to help them to increase his own chances of living.

“You only need to stand there; we will set a formation to extract every piece of information from your soul. If you collaborate enough with us, maybe your soul won’t be damaged. This formation is awesome; it allows me to use some power from the Death Law.”

The quantity of Death Law that formation could help him to control wasn’t higher than the quantity of Time Law that Yale could control by himself, but even in that case, the Death Law was still a scary law, it was better to avoid anything related to it if there were any chance of being affected by it.

“System, will that formation be able to obtain information from me or affect my soul?”

As the system was also part of his soul, it would definitely be related to any intent of soul-searching him; Yale would believe the system’s answer.

“The chances of the other party affecting the user’s soul are 0%. The other party won’t be able to obtain anything from the user.”

Yale relaxed after hearing the system’s reply, he was still ready to use Absolute Protection at any moment, but the system knew Yale’s soul better than himself.

While Yale was speaking with the system, the others were quickly setting the formation, that formation covered all the terrains belonging to the house. So, even if Yale tried to flee, he would at most make a bit more difficult the soul-search and increase the damage to himself, but he wouldn’t be able to avoid it. Of course, there was no way for them to know about the Last Wish System.

The Death law in the area inside the formation turned denser, that was the only reason someone like to bear-eared man would be able to control some. After all, he had no talent in it, the density was inferior to the Time law density in the special realm, but with a Time Law of the same density as the current Death Law, Yale would be able to use it far better than the bear-eared man.

The price to use that formation was high for the bear-eared man’s underlings, they were using their own lifespan, but they didn’t dare to go against their boss as they would only lose a bit and opposing the boss was instant death.

The bear-eared man laughed loud; he was excited as he was able to barely sense the Death Law with the increased density.

“This is the Death Law! With it, no one can oppose me.”

His laugh was filled with madness, and even his own consciousness was being eroded by the Death Law, that law was a double-edged sword, using it wrongly could harm more the one who tried to control it than the opponent, but the bear-eared man didn’t pay attention to that, he only wanted to feel the power in his hands.

“Soul-search!”

There was no need to shout anything to use the skill, but he simply wanted to say it, he was drunk with the power.

“Soul attack blocked correctly. Counter executed correctly, all the Death Law into the area is now controlled by the system.”

Usually, trying to soul-search a reincarnated expert was a bad idea as they always had some measured to protect their souls, as long their soul existed even if their bodies died they could still live again, but if a soul dispersed or become too harmed they would be ended. Thus, using soul-search or any attack to the soul was a taboo against reincarnated experts.

However, doing it against Yale was even more stupid due to the Last Wish System. The Last Wish System was part of Yale’s soul, to create such a system in oneself soul, having mastered the Death Law wouldn’t be enough, but without mastering it, creating the system inside a soul would also be impossible.

The only occasion when the system would act in Yale’s behalf to harm others was when a Death Law Skill was launched towards Yale, that was the soul protecting measure left by Yale’s past life, there was no compassion for those who tried to pry into his soul’s secrets.

The Soul-searching skill was completely rebounded hitting the bear-eared man.

The system was scanning the bear-eared man’s soul and extracting all the information from it while the bear-eared man was unable to stop it or do anything, even his lackeys were unable to stop using their lifespan to power the formation.

“Who are you? Stop soul-searching me.”

The bear-eared man let out a shout filled with pain; he was starting to cry as his soul was being harmed at an incredible rate.

Yale who was only looking at the scene provoked by the system found it funny. He was merely at the Rank 1, and he was making cry from suffering someone at the Rank 8, that was a big achievement even if half of the reason was that the bear-eared man wanted to play too much and soul-searched him. Without that situation, Yale would need to use a trump card to survive as the system’s defense was only a defense, it couldn’t harm others if they didn’t attack Yale’s soul first.

Usually, soul-searching would have been a perfect method to discover Aiwai’s whereabouts from the only person in the area; they simply didn’t think that a reincarnated half-beast expert would remain at Rank 1 after having grown up. Every expert knew about the incredible training speed from reincarnated experts, an adult reincarnated expert at Rank 1 was something they considered impossible as half-beasts could start training since their birth.

If Yale had shown in front of them with his kid’s appearance, combined with his calm temper and the fact he avoided being affected by the illusion, maybe the bear-eared man could have suspected of him.

“Who I am? Do you still doubting it?”

Yale knew that the bear-eared man and all his underlings were already doomed, the system was in control of their soul, and if Yale wished it, they would die at any moment; their chances of survival were zero.

The Rank 8 expert was a bit muddle-headed, but he was still able to guess the answer correctly.

“A reincarnated expert.”

Yale smiled after hearing those words; he was able to feel the fear on the opponent’s soul, the other party wasn’t a fool, he knew very well that trying to soul-searching a reincarnated expert was the same as being doomed even if the opponent’s power was lower than him.

“That is correct. You tried to kidnap my big sister and soul-searching me, the only expiation to your sins is death.”

At that moment, the bear-eared man was cursing the Frost Wolf who gave the information to him; there wasn’t any sign of the existence of any little brother in the reports.

However, he understood the truth just a moment later, Aiwai had returned with two kids, and one of them was a boy. He would be a fool if at that point he didn’t notice that the man who was soul-searching him, and that kid were the same person in different shapes.

“The reports weren’t wrong; you aren’t a fourth person in the house, you are the boy that wolf girl carried back, you cheated us…”

The bear-eared man was feeling his mind fading bit a bit, he cursed Yale for cheating him, he cursed Aiwai for being a healer, he cursed his subordinates for not obtaining better information, and he cursed himself for his foolishness.
