Chapter 180: Death Bloodline Side Effect
“Before giving you the Death Bloodline I need to tell you something important. This bloodline is different from the others and is directly related to the soul. Although you have currently sealed all your memories and your power is extremely weak, once the Death Bloodline activated, your memories and strength will surpass the limits of death for a while. In other words, you will return to your past self for a limited time, but I don’t know how that will affect your current self.”
Yale tried to remain calm on the outside, but he was extremely excited because at that moment such power was just what he needed; Yale was already planning to use Origin Link if he saw his sister in danger, but the Death Bloodline will save him the problem of using that trump card.
“Fortunately, although I don’t know who is, someone had sealed the space-time of this city isolating it from the outside world. This is your best chance to absorb the Death Bloodline and restore your previous self as anyone outside this city will be unable to notice your existence.”
Yale’s past life had some knowledge that could provoke a catastrophe, although he could seal that part of memories after being awakened, the time without the seal was extremely dangerous. Thus, Anpaes felt that the space-time seal appeared in a perfect moment, but he didn’t feel like it was a coincidence, knowing his master, probably that was also planned from beforehand.
“Then give me the Death Bloodline now, don’t worry about my current self.”
Yale just wanted to go out and save his sister; he didn’t mind killing anyone who blocked his path using the power of his previous life.
“Alright, I hope you can help Paku to clean the mess that those traitors did to the capital, but if you feel that this is deserved to our kingdom because we failed in educating well our next generations, I will understand.”
A black orb emanating death ripples appeared before Anpaes, but he stopped just before activating it.
“I almost forgot. You will exit this space after receiving the Death Bloodline, so choose my inheritor right now. This will of mine will also disappear soon after you leave.”
Yale had also forgotten about that topic; it wasn’t too important for him after all.
“Well, give it to Sebe, he is your grandson and son of Paku. I don’t know if he would be a good king or not, but at least he won’t be a traitor to the continent or a tyrant for the citizens of the kingdom. He isn’t narrow-minded either, so there is no fear that he would start a war against humans for hatred.”
Yale honestly didn’t mind about who will receive the legacy of Anpaes or who would become the crown prince, but as he had the chance to choose, he chose to help his friend although Yale knew that Sebe wasn’t interested in politics.
“Sebe is that guy who came with you to this temple, right? He seems too young, but the age will increase with the time, the personality is more important. I started this kingdom due to master’s request, but I grew fond of it with the time, so I hope this grandson of mine will do a good job.”
After saying those words, Anpaes activated the black orb, and its energy rushed towards Yale’s body on the outside.
“Goodbye, master. Although I don’t expect to clear my sin with this, at least I have been able to help you in the end.”
Yale felt moved by that farewell, but he wasn’t able to reply before returning to the outside, where he was in front of the already healed Paku.
Yale started to feel the death ripple surrounding him and knew that at any moment he would obtain and awaken the Death Bloodline.
Yale quickly checked the system; he had obtained a new function to manipulate bloodlines, which he guessed was for fusing the five legacy bloodlines.
The next sub-quest was almost the same as he saw in the last sub-quest of the previous Main Quest.
“Advance to the Rank 2. Reward: [Main Chain Quest: Origin Path Rank 2] will be completed.”
Yale stopped looking for the system an decided to speak after seeing Sebe’s worried face.
“The king is already healed. Sebe, you don’t need to worry, he just needs to rest for some time before recovering all his strength.”
Sebe let out a sigh of relief; he had been extremely worried for his father’s future.
“Sebe, you had shown a good character and helped me without explanation in time of danger. With someone like you, I believe that this kingdom will reach new heights in the future.”
Sebe was shocked by Yale’s words; he didn’t understand why Yale started speaking about such topic at that moment.
“You will now receive the legacy of Anpaes and his acknowledgment, from now on you are the crown prince of the Anpaes Kingdom.”
Sebe understood the situation even less after that; he couldn’t understand since when Yale obtained the right to decide who will be the crown prince or who will receive the legacy of Anpaes, but he didn’t sound like someone who was joking.
“My son, Sebe. I have received the notification from my father’s will that you have been chosen to be the crown prince and inherit his legacy.”
Although the king was weak at that moment, he understood the situation and spoke following Yale’s words. In truth, he didn’t hear anything from the will of Anpaes, but the words of the master of Anpaes had even more value.
Sebe was even more dumbfounded after his father had also said the same, but a moment after that, a ray of light shoot from the statue of Anpaes towards him. After being touched by the light, Sebe knew that it was really the legacy of Anpaes.
“I knew that there was something strange! Sir Yale has such a mysterious background and a divine beast bloodline, but he still came to this city and remained in a low-key profile instead of showing all his prowess. Now, it is obvious that Yale’s true mission was helping Anpaes to choose a correct inheritor for that legacy. They are the only two people with a divine beast bloodline that appeared in all the story of our kingdom; there is no way they didn’t have some relationship.”
Shirk said those words with admiration in his voice. Everything he said was just in his head, just his wild thoughts, but that was something that convinced Sebe because thinking in that way, it was easier to understand the situation.
“Sebe sit and absorb the legacy. You don’t need to worry about the eldest prince and his lackeys; they will all die without a doubt. Shirk, you sit beside Sebe and try to absorb the remnant energy; those leftovers will be discarded because they are nothing compared with the legacy, but for you, they are useful if you manage to absorb them.”
Both obeyed Yale without hesitating, Yale’s background was far more complex than they had thought in the start, but they knew that Yale didn’t want to harm them.
After both of them started to train and stopped paying attention to the surroundings, Yale’s aura started to increase without stop.
“Soul abnormality detected. Death Laws defenses won’t activate because the abnormality is considered positive to the user. The Last Wish System will be unavailable until the current soul state returned to normal.”
After Yale went out from the space where he talked with the will of Anpaes, his mood and acts started to be influenced by his past life, but he was yet to transform completely in his past self. However, after that message from the system, his power surpassed Paku by far, reaching his previous life’s level in seconds.
At that moment, Yale wasn’t Yale, for a limited time he returned to his previous life self. However, there was just one difference in his past life self; his soul was complete, so he was at his true peak of power.
“Anpaes, you were such a foolish disciple, you should have listened to me, and you wouldn’t have died. However, at least you managed to accomplish the last task I give to you. Although you can’t erase your sin, I forgive you.”
The will of Anpaes was already disappearing after giving the Death Bloodline to Yale and the legacy to Sebe, but those words were able to reach him before he disappeared completely.
Anpaes soul had dissipated long time ago leaving only that will behind, there was no future nor rest for his soul, but at least after hearing his master’s words, he disappeared in peace.
