Chapter 138: Aiwai’s Oath

The system ended to soul-search the bear-eared man’s soul, but at that moment, the man’s eyes looked lifeless, he was technically alive, but the damage to his soul was too big, he would never become able to speak or think again.

Even his realm had turned useless, without a mind to control it that energy, which had provoked fear to everyone in the area he controlled, he wasn’t capable of killing even an ant.

The lackeys supporting the formation weren’t better than him, they had lost too much lifespan, and some of them already looked like old men.

However, that wasn’t the main problem as the ten Rank 7 lackeys still had more than enough lifespan. The real problem to them was that the system attacked them after finishing with the bear-eared man, the system was merciless, any accomplice would suffer without exceptions.

While the system was soul-searching he others, Yale took out his Space-time Judgment Sword and neared the bear-eared man.

Killing him would be impossible with him opposing resistance, but after he lost his mind, his body alone didn’t have more quality than the Space-time Judgment Sword, so Yale managed to kill him, cursing the remnants of the man’s soul.

After all, the Space-time Judgment Sword was a divine weapon, with a weak holder it wouldn’t be able to hurt a powerful enemy who is proactively defending himself or had a passive control of the energy protecting the body, but killing a mindless expert with zero defense nor control about his energy was easy.

Yale continued to kill everyone who already had the soul damaged, in less than an hour, Yale’s Space-time Judgment Sword completely eradicated the main strength of the overlord organization of the area.

Yale knew that there were still some remnants of the organization, but the strongest of them was only at Rank 4, they weren’t a threat to Aiwai. However, Yale planned to tell about them to Aiwai to eliminate anyone who knew about her healing powers, after all, the one who betrayed her was one of the survivors.

Yale confirmed with Mapping that he was the only one alive in the area and went back to the house, releasing Aiwai and Wyba. The time limit to be inside the Storage Space was only one hour, and Yale didn’t dare to surpass it.

Yale returned to his kid form after leaving his sisters in the bed. Then, he went out of the house to start cleaning the corpses; Yale had been in a rush to kill all of them before the hour ended, so he hadn’t stopped to collect the corpses.

“Was that a dream? Did I fall sleep without noticing? Wait, Yale! Where is Yale?”

As Yale was leaving the house to start collecting the corpses Aiwai’s shout resounded in the area.

Wyba had told Yale that she didn’t remember anything about when she had been put in the Storage Space, so Yale supposed that anyone inside was in something like suspended animation.

Aiwai didn’t awake after the bear-eared man’s death because she was inside the Storage Space, but after she left it, she awakened quickly.

Aiwai used her spiritual sense without hesitation and detected that Yale was in front of the house, she relaxed a bit, but then she noticed that the house was in a mess.

Aiwai rushed towards Yale and saw the scene on the outside, the uncountable corpses of the attackers.

“What happened here?”

Aiwai was shocked after seeing so many corpses, she had seen a lot of them in her life, but the only one awake was Yale, and thus, she was almost sure that he killed them, but she still felt it difficult to believe.

“They had come to kidnap you and used an illusion to leave you unable to fight. You used Water Healing in the past and the one you healed sold you in exchange for a good position in their organization. The betrayer didn’t come to help in the kidnap, but I know where you can find him and the other remnants of the organization.”

Yale knew that hiding the truth would be impossible and Aiwai needed to know it because that was something that threatened her life, someone who had sold her once would sell her twice.

Aiwai remembered that she had only used Water Healing in public once, but she never thought that someone would repay her kindness by selling her to an organization.

“How did you avoid being affected by the illusion and managed to kill all of them?”

Aiwai hadn’t checked the corpses, so she didn’t know who they were, but someone capable of making her fall into an illusion wasn’t someone Yale could kill.

“It is impossible to any illusion to affect me; I have Illusion Immunity. I have indeed killed them, but I merely gave them the last hit, they almost killed themselves due to a backlash from a formation they had made to obtain information about your whereabouts from me.”

Yale was telling the truth, the system reverted their formation and left all of them death-like before Yale gave his last hit killing them.

Aiwai was surprised that Yale had such immunity, but what impressed her more was that in that situation, he didn’t choose to flee or sell her to improve his chances of survival, he had protected her.

“Why didn’t you gave me to them. I don’t know how you managed to hide me, but that was far too dangerous. I would have never forgiven myself if something happened to you due to protect me.”

Aiwai was happy that Yale had chosen to protect her even with their previous conflicts, but she was worried about his reckless.

“We have our differences, but you are still my beloved big sister. Even if I complain about you, that is our private family matter. I won’t let outsiders harm you; I am sure you think in the same way.”

Aiwai nodded. She was touched by Yale’s words; she indeed would rather die than sold Yale or Wyba to others to obtain benefits. She understood that even if Yale was colder in front of her than when he interacted with Wyba, he still loved her in his own way.

Aiwai walked a bit to check the nearest corpse, and she found the bear-eared man’s body, that was the first one Yale had planned to collect, so it was near him.

“He…. he is… he is the Bear Overlord the famous expert who recently advanced towards Rank 8.”

Aiwai fell to the ground from the shock, she had guessed that the ones who attacked were powerful, but she had never thought that the most powerful organization of the area wanted to kidnap her.

The Bear Overlord was famous for his cruelty even before advancing to Rank 8, that was why everyone surrendered quickly to him after his increase in power.

“Yes, that was his nickname, but he is only a corpse right now. His ten Rank 7 followers and his other powerful lackeys are all dead. There are a few survivors in their base, but you can kill all of them easily.”

Yale knew everything about the Bear Overlord and his followers; the system had stored all the information from their souls, expanding the information in the database a lot.

Aiwai hugged Yale after hearing his words; her little brother had opposed to someone at the Rank 8 for her sake, even herself would be unable to remain calm in front of such an expert.

“Yale, I want you to reply sincerely to one question. It doesn’t matter your answer, you are and will be forever my little brother, so only reply me with the truth. Are you a reincarnated expert?”

That was the conclusion Aiwai reached after analyzing the situation, she still felt difficult to believe that Yale was a reincarnated expert as his personality didn’t match it well, but he was more mature than he should, and Aiwai was guessing that the formation was some type of soul-search which was a taboo to use against reincarnated experts.

Aiwai felt her own deduction a bit contradictory, so she decided to ask Yale. She was telling the truth because disregarding the answer she would still love Yale as his little brother. Even a reincarnated expert would be in danger against a Rank 8 while being in the Novice Rank.

“I have almost no memories from my past life, but my soul is indeed the soul of an expert.”

Yale had decided to explain it to Aiwai if she asked, the situation would be difficult to believe without that explanation.

Although reincarnated experts weren’t common, being one wasn’t something never seen before.

Aiwai had helped him a lot; Yale didn’t want to lie to her. Moreover, he heard how worried she was for him when she awakened; he couldn’t avoid being touched by that.

“I see, that makes sense, you don’t act like a reincarnated expert at all, but without your memories, you are just a little kid with a powerful soul. Don’t worry I won’t tell anyone even if they torture me, I swear it.”

For powerful beings, making an oath was something that couldn’t be done without care because breaking it would have severe consequences for them. With Wyba’s realm or even with Yale’s, an oath hadn’t any effects more than the moral ones, but to Aiwai it was very serious, she would suffer a lot if she broke any oath she had made in her current realm.
