Last Wish System

Except for the servants, everyone in the house went to see the spar between Yale and Terug.

Although all of them believed that there was no way that Yale could win, at least they wanted to know how much he could endure, and they even believed that a draw was possible.

Yale cast the Absolute Protection, and Terug activated the isolation barrier of the training ground.

The isolation barrier let those outside see what happened inside, but it was impossible that those inside interacted with those waiting outside, so it was safer for those that wanted to see the fight.

Yale’s absolute Protection covered just the area inside the isolation barrier thanks to that. Although Yale didn’t need to use too much energy for a small Absolute Protection, it would be tiring creating a huge one like he did when battling against Lina. However, that time there hadn’t been any other option, and they needed to battle.

Terug wielded the axe he received from Yale and Yale took out a random sword of those at the same quality as the axe.

Yale didn’t want to use the Essence Slayer Sword because it was possible that just the difference in the quality of the weapon would be enough to alter the result.

After all, they were battling to test their abilities, so there was no need to beat the other party by using better weapons.

"Is that your weapon? It isn’t any worse than my axe, so it will be fair."

Terug already thought that Yale had weapons of that quality for himself or he wouldn’t be gifting them.

"This is the first time I use this sword since I crafted it. My usual weapon is better than your axe and would be cheating if I use it."

Although Yale knew that he was at a disadvantage, he wanted to test his prowess without relying on the difference of weapons.

"What? This is already the best kind of weapon. How can it be something superior?"

Terug’s reactions as easy to predict as no one had made a weapon as strong as the Essence Slayer Sword.

Yale didn’t plan to hide his sword from Terug because although it was very valuable, Yale was the only one who could use it, so it was worthless for anyone else.

"This..."

Terug opened his eyes when he noticed that he couldn’t see through the Essence Slayer Sword. However, he noticed that it was better than any other weapons he had seen.

"Did you craft it?"

That was a very serious matter. If Yale was truly able to craft a weapon of that level even if it was one time for a million of tries, it was still enough to call him the number one blacksmith of the world and someone that even Origin Gods would treat as an equal.

"Of course not!"

Terug was a bit disappointed by that answer, but he felt that it was more logic that some elder of Yale was the one at such level.

"This sword was crafted by my friend before he died. Afterward, I followed the knowledge he gave to me to improve it, but I am not confident in being able to create something of this level from zero."

Yale could make a weapon infused by several Essences without too much problem, but he didn’t know how to set a curse like the one that Tofesh set in it. The judgment of the souls was a type of judging curse that not even their enemies in the other universe managed to put into a weapon despite their high knowledge on curses.

Terug was without words after hearing Yale. He couldn’t’ imagine how such a powerful blacksmith died, but he instantly attributed it to some plot from their enemies. It wasn’t strange that a World God knew about the war, and Terug was a World God with vast knowledge due to his job as an information broker.

However, Terug considered that since Yale obtained that knowledge, there would be a day when such a powerful blacksmith would appear again. Yale himself or someone who inherited that knowledge from Yale, but anyway Terug was sure that Yale would be related to the matter.

"Yale, use that sword of yours. You are still an Essence God, so it should be alright. I am not saying this because I want to give you an advantage, but because I want to fight against that sword."

Terug didn’t mind too much about the result of the battle, but he wanted to witness the prowess of the Essence Slayer Sword.

"Alright. I wanted to test myself without it, but since you want me to use it, I will go all out."

Yale wielded the Essence Slayer Sword, but he didn’t store the other sword. Instead, he took out a weapon of each kind for each Essence, and all of them were at the same level that the axe that Terug received.

"You will battle with so many weapons?"

Terug didn’t understand Yale’s intentions when taking out so many weapons.

After all, Yale only had two hands, and even using the weapons with divine sense, Terug considered that it should be impossible to use all the Essence simultaneously. Thus, at most, they would end using the Archery Essence, but in that case, it was easier having weapons of the same kind as combining the archery essence with another one was still something a lot of people did.

"Don’t worry; I know what I am doing. If you aren’t careful, you may lose."

Hearing Yale’s confident voice, Terug decided to turn serious. Even if the rest of weapons weren’t too efficient, he was still wary of the Essence Slayer Sword because he couldn’t see how powerful it was.

Yale put the bow in his back and the gloves on his hands while wielding the Essence Slayer Sword. The rest of the weapons floated around him non-stop.

Yale used the weapons with the Archery Essence as Terug thought, but for his surprise, Yale was also using the Essence of each weapon perfectly.

"What?"

Terug spun his axe to protect from the hits of the weapons, but he was forced to do a step back.

Without having time to rest the weapons hit him again, but that time he was sent flying some meters behind.

"Impossible. You also merged an elemental Essence in the attack. How many Essences can you control simultaneously despite being an Essence God?"

Controlling several Essences simultaneously was difficult and even more using them combines. Essence Gods might do it a bit, but even World Gods wouldn’t be able to control so many Essences with Yale’s precision while fusing them on weapons.

Even the slightest mistake would provoke a rebound and break the weapons. The rebound would be strong enough to harm the soul and given how many Essences Yale was controlling and fusing it was enough to doom him if that were to happen.

Of course, Terug didn’t know that the pure energy on Yale’s body balanced those Essences automatically and that he could do it with ease.

The shock distracted him, and Yale almost cut him with the Essence Slayer Sword. If it hadn’t been for Terug huge experience in battle, that would have been the end of the battle.

"You are just an Essence God, but your power isn’t lower than mine, a Tier 8 World God. It seems that you have a real Origin Path, or I don’t believe that you can cross our difference so easily. I think that only the Battle God with his unique Path can surpass you in beating higher levels in battle. I won’t distract myself anymore. It seems that if I don’t treat you seriously, I will really lose."

Terug was wary of Yale’s sword, but he noticed that he still had underestimated Yale a lot. The sword was out of ordinary, but even without it, Yale was still able to surpass levels.

"Oh, you know about my grandfather. I indeed started to practice the Origin Path, but I already made some modifications to it, so it may be improper calling it like that."

Yale had stopped attacking while replying, but there wasn’t any weak point to exploit despite that.

"Grandfather? The direct descendant from the Wymst Faction?"

The Wymst Faction wasn’t too big and was surrounded in mystery, but in power, it was at the top of the universe without any doubt. The Battle God alone was enough to make the prestige of the faction surpass almost every other faction.

Moreover, it was well-known that the Battle God only had a daughter, but she was also incredibly powerful although most people didn’t know that she reached the same level as the universe creator. Compared to the Battle God, she had been more low-key, and since she left the universe after Yale’s past life was born, her true power was something unknown for others.

In the same way that people know about Yale’s mother, it was also known that the Battle God only had one grandson, but there were very few people who knew who that person was.

"Stop the chitchat!"

Yale attacked again with the same style as before, but when Terug tried to defend from Yale’s sword attack, he noticed that Yale wasn’t there.

At that moment, an arrow was shot an incredible speed towards Terug. That arrow was the Essence Slayer Sword.

Terug found that he could just try to block it, but then noticed that Yale disappeared while blocking the shot and received a heavy punch from his back.
