Last Wish System

Chapter 67: Fire Shield

Hyrk looked at the guy’s corpse.

“We shouldn’t waste the resources he has with him, let’s loot the corpse.”

To Hyrk that was normal, if the opponent is already dead, the killer should pick up his belongings. The nobles were used to do that after killing their opponents, even if they were mostly powerless people who had offended their clans.

“Yale, you are lucky today! This guy has a spatial artifact even if its quality is bad!”

After finishing his sentence, Hyrk threw a ring to Yale.

Hyrk knew that Yale didn’t have a spatial artifact and that he needed one.

Furthermore, Yale was the one who risked his life to kill the guy, so the rewards also belonged to him, Hyrk wouldn’t try to get a share without having participated in the killing.

If Yale obtained something that Hyrk needed from the dead guy, Hyrk would ask to just make a transaction for another thing of the same value.

That was also a rule the nobles had to avoid internal strife even if not all of them followed it.

Yale liked that straightforward method as most people would try to use any excuse to share the loot even without having participated.

Yale caught the ring and bound it with his Origin Qi, to bind items the type of energy didn’t matter, so Yale never worried about using his Origin Qi.

After binding it, sending his energy to the ring, he could see the items inside. The bulky guy wasn’t as wealthy as the nobles in Yale’s group, but compared to a commoner he was still rich.

However, the most valuable things were medicinal pills and some miscellaneous stuff that could be sold in the outside world or that Yale didn’t know its use.

There were also some weapons inside the ring, including some swords, bows, and arrows. Those were useful to Yale, but their quality was low; probably the guy had stolen them from commoners in the special realm.

The only weapon with high quality the bulky guy had was the spear he had used to attack Aizu, but Yale wasn’t too fond of spears, he had enough with his Ice Spears to throw to the enemies.

However, Yale stored that spear in the spatial ring as it could be useful to change it for another thing later.

Even disregarding the ring’s contents, the ring itself was enough to make Yale happy as it was something he wanted to obtain.

Yale decided that after going back with the others he would show all the items he didn’t need to them, Yale thought that maybe he would be able to do some good trades.

The only thing Yale took out from the ring was a new set of clothes; he couldn’t move well with that beggar appearance.

Hyrk and Yale remained there some time learning the legacy; they couldn’t waste such opportunity to learn it.

“The user successfully created the Magic Skill [Fire Shield]”

“Fire Shield Level 1: Generates a spherical fire shield that covers the whole body. Fire Element. It requires 3 Origin Points. Mastery at level 10.”

The spell they learned was a defensive one, but even if it were a shield if someone physically attacked it, the attacker would also get damaged by the fire.

Aizu didn’t wake up before Yale and Hyrk finished learning the spell. Yale didn’t know if she had managed to learn the spell before getting attacked by the bulky guy or not, but they couldn’t wait until she recovered her consciousness because the others were waiting for them.

Before leaving, they threw the corpse into the magma pool, that way it would be impossible for others to find out what happened.

Yale carried Aizu on his back and went out of the volcanic cave, with Yale strength carrying a little girl on his back was nothing, he only needed to be careful that she didn’t fall or got injured.

They used the long way, the same used by Hyrk as there was no reason to jump again into the magma. Furthermore, Yale didn’t know if Aizu would be able to survive inside the magma as he had only survived due to Auto-recovery.

That skill was the most valuable Yale had, even more than Absolute Protection as Auto-recovery didn’t have any cooldown and could heal any wound, he could be more reckless in a battle due to it.

The most challenging part of the journey was flying above the magma pool outside the volcanic cave while carrying with Aizu.

Flying was still hard to Yale as he wasn’t used to it, and he feared that he would lose a bit his control provoking that Aizu fell.

Fortunately, he flew slowly and reached the other side without any problem.

When they had returned with the others, ten whole days had passed since they separated.

“You two really returned alive.”

Kermu was happy when he saw that both of them were alright, he was worried about them the whole time.

“Eh, Yale who are you carrying in your back?”

Kermu was surprised that Yale had a girl on his back, and he was sure that the girl wasn’t from any of the noble families.

Yale and Hyrk explained all the story to the others including the murder of the bulky guy and the legacy they had obtained afterward.

“Yale, you were truly reckless jumping into the magma to save that girl even if she is your disciple. However, you did a good job finishing that bastard; the world is a better place without him.”

Serka didn’t like that his little cousin risked his life for a mere commoner girl, to her Yale’s life was more valuable than the life of any commoner. However, as the guy who Yale killed was someone she hated she was also happy.

“Is she really only your disciple? Wyba seems to like her.”

Yale was about to say that it was because they lived together, but he felt that Nurvey would get jealous that Aizu could hug Wyba at any moment living with her.

“Wyba was present when I was teaching her, so they are a bit familiar with each other.”

Even if Nurvey expression didn’t change, Yale felt that the answer improved her mood.

“Yale, in that spatial ring there is something like this?”

Serka showed a strange badge to Yale, who quickly found another one in the spatial ring and showed it to her. Since she heard that Yale had looted the bulky guy, she wanted to ask that question.

“You should bind that badge right now! That is a proof of being part of the Zhan Clan, only those with our blood can bind it. Usually, an elder should bestow you with one, but even if you didn’t obtain it legitimately, it is better than not having one. Without a badge as proof, others may try to kill you saying that they didn’t believe only your words. If you have it with you, maybe it would be a deterrent to commoners or normal nobles if they wanted to attack you.”

The shameless group wouldn’t care about the badge as they didn’t care about status when they intended to kill the other party, but against other people, the badge might be useful to Yale, even if he hoped to didn’t need to use it.

After that, Serka also revised Aizu’s state and confirmed that she was well and should awake in a few days. Yale had checked it himself, but as a healer, he had less experience than Serka and thus wanted a second opinion.

Yale showed all the things he obtained, and he didn’t need to the others, but he only managed to trade the spear as it was the only thing that could move wealthy nobles like them.

Nurvey was the one who wanted the spear as that was the only weapon she trained, in exchange, she didn’t offer any item, she offered to teach Yale a boost-type skill.

Yale agreed as those type of skills were rare and useful.

Yale’s talent to learn such skills wasn’t too bad; he managed to execute it correctly after five hours, boost-type skills were hard to learn.

“The user successfully created the Boost Skill [Minor Boost]”

“Minor Boost Level 1: Improves all stats by 10%, the effectivity decreases when its used into a Rank 1 practitioner. It requires 4 Origin Points per minute. Mastery at level 10.”

That skill was the type that could be used on oneself or be cast into others.

Yale had used Bloodline Force a lot when battling, but that was so tiresome to his body and was forcing his limits using his blood. Furthermore, that skill only increased Strength and Agility.

Minor Boost could increase all the stats using Origin Points, the effects weren’t as powerful as Bloodline Force, but both could be utilized simultaneously, and Minor Boost didn’t need to be used only while going all out.

Nurvey seemed happy to see that Yale learned the skill in few hours, some people who weren’t from the imperial family had needed days or weeks to learn Minor Boost which was only a basic boost-type skill.

The main reason for Yale’s speed was that he usually increased his stats with Bloodline Force and thus was more familiar with that type of skill than others.
