Chapter 198: Reincarnation Effects
"After you disappeared I gave my all to nurture the Sword Bloodline we created together. The Sword Bloodline was too strong and was difficult to spread, but I discovered that the results were better with people talented with the sword; thanks to that with the time the Larken Clan was created although it was created later than the other two with your bloodlines. However, the perfect bloodlines in the Larken Clan were even less than in the other two clans you left a bloodline, and after a lot of years, you didn't reincarnate."
Yale really felt bad for having disappeared and left her in charge of everything, but he didn't remember anything about it, and even if he remembered, there was nothing he could do.
The Sword Bloodline was a level ahead of the Time Bloodline and the Space Bloodline; it was comparable with the Life Bloodline and the Death Bloodline that Liye was unable to pass down.
The Larken Clan's tradition to absorb young talents and made them marry their younger generation originated because of that difficulty on spreading the bloodline.
The Time Bloodline and the Space Bloodline didn't have such a difficulty for being passed down, a good proof was Yale himself because his father didn't have any affinity with the time element, but Yale still born with a perfect bloodline.
In the Larken Clan in such situation giving birth to a perfect bloodline was impossible, even just the chances of a baby being born with one of the parents having zero talent with the sword were close to zero, and those who born in such conditions were handicapped and unable to train.
That was the biggest flaw of the Sword Bloodline, and the reason was that Lar was just a Law Master when the Sword Bloodline was created, she was still stronger than the other Law Masters and near to advance, but the lack of the last breakthrough made the bloodline flawed and thus more difficult to pass down.
"One day I heard about Anpaes going with your other disciples and friends to investigate your death, and I decided to join them. At that time I had already surpassed the Law Master level in swordsmanship, so they gladly accepted my help although I hadn't interacted with them before."
Lar didn't seem proud although she spoke about a major breakthrough because she knew that if she had been faster to advance the Sword Bloodline would have been better.
"I thought that just investigating wouldn't be a problem with my new strength, but I was a fool, and your disciples and friends were also all fools, we just rushed towards our own destruction."
Yale already knew about that foolish investigation due to the explanation of Anpaes, but he was interested in Lar's version.
"We should have listened to you and avoided investigating anything, but we overestimated ourselves. I can't remember who killed us, but I remember that even my soul started dissipating after just one hit, while the others didn't even need to battle to start their dissipation process. Even without being able to remember it clearly, I know that is the most fearsome existence I had met."
Lar's little body shivered as she spoke about the events that led to her death. That experience had turned into a trauma deep into her soul and affected her even without clearly remember it.
"We understood that we had made an incredible mistake and that we wouldn't be able to escape; it was just because those two girls destroyed their souls willingly to create a chance for us that we managed to survive for a bit more."
Those two girls mentioned by Lar were the two other women that helped Liye to create legacy bloodlines. Although Lar never liked them, in the last moment at least, they won her respect due to their noble sacrifice.
"We didn't know why, but we weren't pursued once we returned into this world. However, with our souls in dissipation, our deaths were just a matter of time. Thus, everyone went to prepare legacies, and before dying, they wanted to finish all the matters they had unfinished."
The shivering in Lar's body didn't stop since she started to speak about her death. Even if Yale didn't have any romantic feeling for her at that moment, he wasn't someone who liked to see a little girl crying, so he decided to hug her knowing that she would like it.
"However, I didn't want to die; I wanted to meet you again. Thus, I left this world and returned to my father's place and asked him to help me reincarnate. He was angered by my soul dissipating state, and first wanted revenge, but after hearing my story, his face changed, and he sent me to reincarnate without any more words. I can say by that face that hearing my explanation even put him in danger."
Anpaes had told the information Revgen and Lar had told it to her father, Revgen and Lar's father had also turned into targets due to that, but there was nothing they could do against it.
Both of them had cut relations with the outside world from that moment on, but the method worked because they didn't die after so much time had passed. They understood that being cautious they still have chances to avoid the calamity falling upon them.
In fact, Lar's father was who sealed any memories related to Lar's killer to avoid her being targeted after reincarnation and even made her reincarnate in Liye's world to make their relationship more difficult to deduce.
After all, although reincarnation would increase the potential of the reincarnated, the time before that potential turned into power was the most dangerous one. Lar's father also had enemies, even without counting Lar's killer, Lar's father enemies would be more than enough to threaten Lar's life with her father being unable to move freely in order to avoid the calamity.
"After reincarnation, I was unable to remember who I was, I just remembered fragments about swordsmanship, and I turned into someone who only cared about training with the sword. There was a huge damage to my soul, so it was unavoidable."
Although her soul was stronger than the others just due to having surpassed the Law Master level, she was still weaker than someone like Liye who had done it with the Death Law, so her endurance after the soul dissipation started was much lower than Liye. Liye's soul was damaged, but most of the loss of memories was due to a seal in the memories and not to the damage.
"When I recovered some memories after advancing to the Novice Rank I almost turned crazy. I had lost everything due to my greed for knowledge. From being a powerful expert respected by everyone and with a beauty also admired by everyone, I turned into a little girl that needed to follow the rules of others, my strength was lacking, my body wouldn't grow due to my impatience to train, and I couldn't even control my emotions well. That powerless sensation was unbearable."
Although she was the one who chose to reincarnate, the effects of it were something difficult to accept for her. In fact, that happened to everyone who reincarnated.
Even Wyba felt bad when her Apprentice Rank strength returned to a mortal strength due to the seal of Liye; it was easy to imagine how strong would be the effect on someone as powerful as Lar's past life. Moreover, Wyba could just change her form, but Lar didn't have any methods to reverse her situation.
For the first time, Yale was thankful for having his memories sealed, that avoided him having such a hard time after reincarnation. Moreover, with the Last Wish System, he didn't lack a good guidance even without memories.
Lar had suppressed that feeling for a long time, she almost forgot about that powerless sensation, but while explaining her story to Yale, that powerless feeling returned to her, and she started crying.
After reincarnation she never trusted anyone, so she always hid everything deep in her heart, that was the first time she opened up to someone after reincarnation. Sometimes just restraining the feelings isn't enough, it was important to let them out.
"After that, I wanted to search for you, but I had no idea if you have already reincarnated or not. Moreover, my family was insisting on marrying me to someone because they wanted to ensure that my bloodline persisted. I know that is something that applies to all talented kids in the clan, but I can't accept that! Before restoring my memories I didn't bother too much about it, but after recovering them, I only wanted to be with you, it was impossible to accept marrying to someone else just for the clan's sake. Even if didn't find you I was willing to wait until you appeared again in this world, no matter how much time I needed. However, as my family didn't hear me when I told them that I didn't want to marry, I ended up running away from my house, and I reached Sword City."
Yale knew that arranging marriages for the younger generation was something quite normal in the Revgen Empire, but he couldn't say that he agreed with such practices.
In Yale's eyes, it was better if everyone chose freely and without haste. Of course, his opinion was biased due to the fact Durgan offered his sister to him in marriage without Yale knowing anything about her not her about him.
