novelLashar Larken
| ← Ch.233 | Ch.235 → |
Lar's grandfather had heard about when Yale modified bloodlines before from Herken, but Herken told it to him implying that there was someone behind Yale acting and wasn't something Yale himself could do. However, hearing Yale's voice and pressure on his bloodline, he was sure that regardless if before was Yale or someone else who did it, at that moment the one doing it was Yale.
"Mercer, you are my disciple, you can't have such a pitiful bloodline."
Yale's words still reverberated in everyone's heads, the pressure was enough to make them want to kneel.
In the same way that happened before to Herken and Durgan, Mercer's bloodline started to improve without stop; improving Mercer's bloodline was extremely consuming compared to the other two, but the remnant energy from those four was also far higher than the amount Yale obtained from the previous guy.
Mercer had yet to start training any path, so he didn't increase his level, but all his stats reached the limit thanks to the extreme bloodline improvement. He went from having a bloodline considered trash even among the outer clan to having a perfect bloodline. That was a complete change; he turned from being an untalented guy to a peerless genius that would be treasured by the clan. Yale had reversed Mercer's fate completely.
Lar's grandfather swallowed some saliva after sensing the changes on Mercer's body; that was far too shocking. If everyone could have their bloodlines improved in that way, there would be no lack of peerless geniuses like Lar in the Larken Clan.
"Herken, you did a good job finding Lar's grandfather to help in this situation. Moreover, you two proved your loyalty towards the Larken Clan."
After hearing Yale's words, both of them sensed the change in their bloodlines and also made a breakthrough thanks to that improvement. At that moment both of them also had perfect bloodlines, but they knew that if Yale was angry, he could let them in the same state as those traitors.
"Current clan head of the Larken Clan! I know that you are spying us!"
Yale's words shocked everyone; the Clan Head was someone that even the elders had difficulties to meet. However, a could laugh appeared on the sky when Yale spoke, and seconds later a woman appeared in front of him.
Lar's grandfather had met her before, and she was indeed the clan head of the Larken Clan. Moreover, she was there in person after hearing Yale's words asking her to appear; even if an elder asked her to appear, she wouldn't do it that easily. However, after seeing how Yale trashed an elder with some words, the fact that the clan head treated Yale better than an elder wasn't that impressive.
"You are even able to detect me, truly impressive. I am Lashar Larken, the current clan head of the Larken Clan. May I ask your relationship with the Sword God?"
No one understood who that Sword God which Lashar was speaking of was, but Yale was just staring coldly towards her.
"It is a shame that the current clan head was ready to look how those traitors killed everyone without acting."
Everyone got a scare, thinking that even their clan head would suffer some kind of punishment for not saving them earlier.
"I rushed to here when I detected the first attack towards you. Luckily you saved anyone. That second attack happened with me observing the situation, and that attack was doomed to fail, I was ready to stop that traitor in the last second even if you hadn't acted."
Lashar was calm, she didn't fear Yale and knew that Yale wouldn't act against her because that was pointless. Although she hadn't told it to the clan members, she had turned a Law Master some years ago, and given how Yale was able to detect her presence she also guessed that he discovered her secret.
Law Masters didn't fear aging and had an unlimited lifespan, so even if she lost her bloodline, that wouldn't provoke any big loss to her more than the fact she wouldn't be able to use it to suppress others with the Sword Bloodline. However, being in control of the Sword Law was already enough to suppress others if she wanted.
"You aren't going to reply me? I can see that your current mental state isn't normal. Probably you are being influenced by a legacy left by the Sword God. If my guess is correct, you should have obtained that sword and your ability to control the bloodline of the Larken Clan from that legacy."
She wasn't angry by the fact Yale didn't reply to her; she didn't mind at all and was just proving if Yale would give her some information that she didn't know about the Sword God.
She had learned about the Sword God in some ancient documents from the period when the Larken Clan was established.
In those documents, the clan founder spoke about the man who created the Sword Bloodline together with her; she never wrote his name, but always referred to him like the Sword God, someone who was like a god in swordsmanship for her and who she had never surpassed in her whole life no matter how hard she tried.
The Space-time Judgment Sword also appeared as a picture in those old documents, but there wasn't a lot of information about it more than that anyone who had that sword should be treated with the same respect as the clan founder and that anyone who offended the wielder would have their bloodlines cursed.
Lashar had always thought that the documents were exaggerated, but she confirmed their veracity moments ago. She had also read that the Sword God died due to soul dissipation, so her thoughts when seeing someone with the sword was that it was received from a legacy.
Those documents didn't mention the true nature of the Space-time Judgment Sword because if that were revealed would be the same as saying that Yale was the reincarnation of the Sword God mentioned in the documents and Lar hadn't planned to reveal that to others without Yale's consent.
Originally, Lar had written all that content when she founded the Larken Clan as a method to pass some information to future generation if something were to happen to her. However, in the end, she died without telling anyone the location of those documents because she had discarded them as she thought that they didn't explain the situation very well and planned to rewrite them later on.
Sadly, she never did it and died without even remembering to tell someone about that. It was only a lot of years later that Lashar found them by coincidence.
In fact, even the current Lar didn't remember about those documents because the documents didn't have a huge impact on her memories and in her current state there was no way she remembered something that she didn't consider important.
"Are you still not going to speak? Well, you can come to look for me at any moment you want. The clan founder ordered that we treat you with the same respect as we treated her, so you can feel like if you were in your house. If anyone offends you, you can kill them or destroy their bloodlines, I trust in your judgment."
After saying some more shocking words, she disappeared again. After that, Yale finally returned to normal as the Origin Sword Bloodline dissipated.
Yale was also a bit confused by the reaction of the Origin Sword Bloodline that made him act in that way earlier, but he stopped thinking about that and rushed to the house to heal Mercer's mother because to heal her every second counted.
At the start, he didn't plan to pick Mercer as his disciple, but when he heard that he had no relationship to him, the first he had thought was in making Mercer his disciple.
Since he decided that Mercer was his disciple, he planned to help him and healing his pitiful mother was the first step.
The others didn't try to stop Yale when he rushed towards the house without saying a word after Lashar disappeared.
"Herken, you did well not offending him. It seems that he is far more monstrous than we thought."
Lar's grandfather transmitted those words towards Herken who was still trying to recover from the shock.
Treating someone in the same way as the clan founder meant that Yale's status in the Larken Clan surpassed even the clan head and the clan head herself was the one who said that, so there was no way anyone else would argue about it.
Although there were some chief elders at the Sage Rank, no one had been able to surpass Lashar, who everyone mistakenly thought that was still at the peak of the Sage Rank.
Some minutes later, Yale left the house; he needed some effort to heal mercer's mother, but she would awaken after a while being completely healed. Mercer's mother was pretty weak for her age, just 4-star Novice, so Yale didn't plan to ask her from cooperating in the war against the True Empire.
"I will go to speak with Lashar now; there are some important topics I need to speak in private with her. I will leave Mercer with you for now. Teach him how to start training after he awakens. That is basic knowledge, and you should be able to do it."
Lar's grandfather nodded without doubting even for a second; he understood the importance of Yale being happy.
