Last Wish System

Chapter 225

Since Yale started to attack, the battle turned one-sided; if Yale blocking all the attacks without effort were humiliating for his opponent, the complete domination after starting to attack would turn him into the biggest laughingstock of the Larken Clan .

Yale was considered a monster in talent by even the Larken Clan and losing against him wasn't shameful, but losing pathetically after saying those smug words towards Yale were enough to destroy all of his reputation in the clan .

"Impossible! You have to be using some evil trick! How can I be unable to beat you with these favorable conditions? This is impossible!"

That battle was shattering the world-view of Yale's opponent who was covered by small wounds in all his body, and his clothes had been torn apart until the point he looked like a beggar .

"You lose . "

Yale's sword stopped with the tip at the narrow-minded guy's neck, and a trace of blood was falling from that point showing that Yale could have easily killed his opponent if he had wanted .

"Impossible . . . "

That guy seemed broken after his total defeat; the shock he received was too high .

"The user reached Origin Level 34 . "

Yale's aura increased more after he stored his sword and turned his back to his defeated opponent; he could sense that he wouldn't be able to reach the next level although he continued battling .

"Senior Herken, you shall kill him! He is a monster! An evil being! There is no way someone outside the Larken Clan could beat our bloodline in swordsmanship without playing dirty tricks . That is impossible! We are the best! No one can surpass us in swordsmanship in a real battle!"

He could admit defeat in the Sword Arena because he attributed losing to the rules, but he had no restrictions battling towards Yale while Yale restricted almost all his abilities and battled just with one hand and one sword; there wasn't any excuse to lose against him . He could only admit being inferior to him .

Moreover, Yale was sixteen while that guy was already twenty-nine, so he couldn't say that Yale won because he was older .

"You are a shame as a swordsman . Without your bloodline you are nothing . You aren't worthy of having the Sword Bloodline in your body . "

Yale's words hit just on the pride of that guy, but when he was about to reply, he started feeling his blood boil, and after a few seconds he turned completely pale and fell to the ground unconscious .

That outcome shocked everyone, Yale included . That guy was still alive, but he had aged a lot and didn't look much younger than Herken at that moment; he had lost a huge quantity of life force, and he already looked to be in his forties .

To have that sudden aging with his rank he needed to have lost about three hundred years of lifespan .

After recovering from the shock of the situation, Yale noticed another change in the aged man's body . The bloodline that originally was almost comparable to Durgan in purity had been completely trashed and was at a level that he would at most be considered an outer member of the Larken Clan with few chances of having the bloodline inherited by his children in the future .

Yale had turned extremely sensible to the Sword Bloodline, even more than to the other bloodlines, but he didn't know the reason . Fortunately, that was something that the system could reply .

"With the combination of the Sword Bloodline and the Condensed Sword Essence, the Origin Sword Bloodline can be created temporally . That bloodline has the power to affect those with the Sword Bloodline . If the user says that someone isn't worthy of the bloodline while the Origin Sword Bloodline is active, the Sword Bloodline of such person would be degraded due to the suppression of the Origin Sword Bloodline . "

That explanation wasn't something that Yale expected; he didn't plan to cripple his opponent in that way when he said those words, but he couldn't deny that such narrow-minded fool deserved it .

The bloodline was too important for the members of the Larken Clan, having the bloodline degraded would also cost them a great amount of life force and their lifespan would be reduced .

"Is there any way to use it in the opposite way and increase the bloodline quality of others?"

More than harming members of the Larken Clan, Yale would prefer to help those who had a good relationship with him . He could just kill the enemies, but strengthening his allies was far more difficult .

"It is possible, but it will exhaust a great amount of the user's energy . Increasing the same quantity as have just been degraded would need about 900000 Origin Points . "

Yale was shocked by the huge number and opened his Stats Menu .

"Name: Yale Age: 16 Origin Level: 34 Origin Points: 35961/35961"

"Vitality: 35214 Strength: 35988 Agility: 35401 Intelligence: 40000 Wisdom: 40000 Dexterity: 35534"

He confirmed that he didn't even have a twentieth part of the required to make an increase compared with that decrease although his power had skyrocketed after his successive breakthroughs .

"It is also possible to use the remaining energy after a downgrade to boost a bit the bloodline of others . "

After Yale was depressed a new message from the system appeared, and Yale tried to sense the remaining energy in his previous opponent's body .

"This is! Let's try it . "

Everyone was still shocked after that guy received what they considered a divine punishment for his acts when Yale neared Durgan and spoke again .

"Durgan, compared to that fool, you are more suited for the Sword Bloodline . I have confidence that you will become one of the best members the Larken Clan have had in its story . "

No one understood why Yale was saying that, but suddenly Durgan also felt his blood boil, but the effect was the opposite than before because the energy of his body increased non-stop and he roared due to the excess of power in his body .

A minute later he finally calmed himself as his blood stopped to boil, but everyone was looking to Yale and him with shocked faces . Durgan was a 2-star Apprentice Rank a pretty normal rank for a genius of the Larken Clan given his age, but after that minute he directly reached the 9-star Apprentice Rank .

At the same time, Yale could feel that Durgan's bloodline had been upgraded to the same level as Lar, a perfect state . Although he wouldn't be able to extract all the power of the bloodline like Lar, he would be able to surpass any other in the Larken Clan easily .

"Lar, with your swordsmanship and bloodline you should be far stronger than you are right now . "

The amount of energy needed to increase Durgan's bloodline wasn't enough to exhaust the remaining energy because Durgan's bloodline purity was already very high from the start, so Yale decided to use a bit to force Lar to awaken her sleeping potential .

Lar had been too worried about her looks and other matters, so she didn't try to breakthrough nor had reached the peak of the Novice Rank in both paths .

However, after Yale stimulated her bloodline, the potential she wasn't able to use due to her mindset was partially unleashed, and she skipped directly from the 9-star Novice to the 9-star Apprentice .

In fact, her Magus Path increased even more as it wasn't at the peak of the Novice Rank but it also reached the peak of the Apprentice Rank .

"About this matter, no one would say a word . This will be our secret; I think I can believe in you, right Herken?"

The energy remains could only be used in a short time after the downgrade happened, so Yale needed to use them immediately or waste them . He wanted to help Durgan who was far more limited than Lar in potential as he was just a normal guy of the Larken Clan, so he didn't hesitate in revealing the fact his words could influence the Sword Bloodline .

Given the current state of the empire, it wasn't safe for anyone, so the more strength his friends had, the better .

"Of course! This will be our secret . I just need to cut the records after your battle . "

Herken was scared of Yale, or to be more exact for the one who he believed that was behind Yale . After all, even the Larken Clan's head couldn't do what Yale did, so in his view, Yale had a powerful master capable of influencing their bloodlines, and that master seemed to be acting based on Yale's words . Herken had also seen Yale's shocked face after the narrow-minded guy aged suddenly, so he didn't believe that Yale was the one doing it . The others were even more scared than Herken .

After speaking Herken also felt his blood boil, but it lasted for less than Durgan .

Initially, he was at the 6-star Veteran, but he advanced directly to the 7-star Veteran Rank after the improvement of his bloodline . He didn't reach a perfect bloodline like Durgan, but he reached Durgan's previous level of bloodline; Herken's talent wasn't first class, he was under average and reached his current achievements thanks to a lucky encounter while traveling .

After powering up Herken, all the remaining energy was exhausted, and Yale was also a bit tired . He hadn't used his own energy, but the process of powering up and downgrading bloodlines was still extremely tiring for him even though he couldn't control it perfectly .
