Chapter 227: Inside the Storage Space
While entering into the Storage Space, Yale felt that the sensation was similar to the one of teleporting, but it also had some resemblance to a space-time passage.
The Storage space was desolated, it had a hundred kilometers after the upgrade, but there was nothing in most of it beside the lifeless ground. Even that ground wasn’t truly made of earth; it was made by energy and wasn’t completely stable.
When the Storage Space upgraded to be a place where it was possible to live, all the belongings Yale had inside moved to a corner of the space and were protected by a barrier that would only open to Yale or someone with his permission.
Besides that isolated part, there was only a huge house situated in the middle of the Storage Space; that was also the only part with life inside the Storage Space and was also surrounded by a barrier.
That barrier was an additional seal placed by Liye, the current Storage Space allowed living beings, but it wasn’t too suitable for life outside of that barrier.
In fact, there wasn’t even air outside the area protected by the barrier; an expert could survive some time without breathing, that wasn’t difficult, but couldn’t be sustained eternally unless one had turned into a Law Master.
The storage space was something similar to the special realm, but incomplete. It was a separated dimension and was cut off the external world making the laws of the outside unable to affect those inside.
However, in exchange, everything that seemed normal in the outside world like the ground, the air or the water didn’t exist in that dimension.
The area sealed with the barrier had formations set to let those inside to live well in a condition similar to the outside world, but that wouldn’t apply if someone left the area of the barrier.
When Yale appeared inside the Storage Space, he was beside the area with his belongings, in other words, an area without even air.
However, Yale didn’t need air nor anything like that inside the Storage Space; that dimension was created by Liye, and although was incomplete due to Yale’s lack of power, inside that dimension he was like a god.
With a thought Yale could appear at any part of the Storage Space except inside the house with the barrier, he needed to appear at the front of it and enter normally.
Yale appearing at any place at will was something related to the Space Law, but that Space Law was different from the outside because the one inside the Storage Space was completely under his control. The same applied to the Time Law; Yale could control it freely and making the time pass at a faster or slower speed wasn’t difficult for him.
The only bad part was that inside that Storage Space, only those two laws existed at that moment and the dimension was far too unstable, so if Yale played with them too much, the dimension might collapse.
After collapsing it will reform again because a dimension had a good foundation and just was limited by Yale’s lack of power, but after collapsing everything would be expelled from inside, and that couldn’t happen for Aiwai’s sake.
Thus, Yale discarded any thought of cheating his enemies to enter the Storage Space to deal with them because if the already unstable dimension collapsed due to the battle, Aiwai would en paying the consequences.
Yale could also feel the outside through his Spiritual Sense; it spread from the point where he disappeared letting him be perfectly aware of the situation in the camp.
After confirming how the Storage Space’s dimension worked, Yale appeared in front of the mansion’s barrier and crossed it.
Yale immediately felt the difference between the outside and the inside, there weren’t any more laws, but the powerful formations created by Liye when he put Aiwai and the house there had created a similar effect that was the reason living there was similar to the outside world.
The control Yale had of space and time also lowered in that area, but his control was still awesome compared to his control outside the Storage Space.
Before Yale could try to look for Aiwai he fell to the ground and was suffocated by something soft; fortunately, he didn’t need to breathe.
“Yale, you finally came! I awakened without knowing where I was, this looked like our house, but there is a strange barrier surrounding it, and I can’t get out no matter how hard I try. I supposed that this is the place where Master Liye put me to protect my soul, but you were supposed to be here after my awakening. However, you weren’t here when I awakened. I felt too lonely until now!”
Aiwai awakened when the upgrade of the Storage Space finished, but Yale didn’t enter immediately to it because he was still battling and later on he upgraded some Sword Bloodlines, so Aiwai was alone waiting for him in that interval of time. It wasn’t a lot of time, but in her situation, she was desperate to see someone and confirm her situation.
After complaining for some minutes, Aiwai finally noticed that she was suffocating Yale.
“Sorry, Yale! Are you alright?”
Aiwai had been too nervous being in a house surrounded by a strange space and she lost her control after seeing Yale as that confirmed that she was in the place set by her master and not in any other random place.
“I am alright, in this space, you won’t be able to kill me by hugging me like that. I am glad to see you again, sis.”
That time was Yale who hugged Aiwai, and due to the fact, Yale was in his adult form, he was taller than her, making them seem more like lovers than siblings. Fortunately, no one was seeing the scene or would be easy to misunderstood by anyone who didn’t know that they were brother and sister.
For Yale, Aiwai was at the same level as Ange, both were his beloved older sisters, but Aiwai had spent much more time with him, so he felt closer to her.
“I don’t know if you grew a lot or you are just taking an adult form like you always liked to do. Anyway, I am too happy to be with you again. Where is Wyba? Isn’t she with you?”
Aiwai was able to feel that Yale was already at the Practitioner Rank, so she supposed that it should have passed some time since she was sealed by Liye, although it had been an instant for her.
“I will bring Wyba here later on. First I wanted to see how was this space and speak with you alone. I see that your bloodline had also got upgraded and your power increased a lot.”
Yale completely ignored the matter about his own looks; the situation outside wasn’t pacific enough to let him play with Aiwai like a kid.
“This is part of Master Liye’s gift to me. I am glad that we can continue to have the same bloodline.”
Aiwai was at her human form at that moment, mostly because she had awakened like that and didn’t even think in changing back to her half-beast form as that was her latest worry after awakening.
Moreover, her strength had soared, and she had reached the 2-star Grandmaster Rank directly after awakening. No one could underestimate a gift from someone like Liye, but the truth was that he just gave Aiwai what he should have had from the start if she had born with a divine beast bloodline. Given her talent, without a bloodline any restriction, she would have reached that rank on her own.
However, there wasn’t a lot of people who could do the same as Liye, to let Aiwai’s level turn as it would have been if she had been born with a bloodline that in reality she hadn’t been born with.
Moreover, she obtained a lot of knowledge from her master, that knowledge was enough for her to train for a long time, even a trash without talent would be able to turn into an expert with Liye’s teaching. Aiwai was a genius from the start, so the teachings left by Liye in her mind were far more valuable.
Aiwai in her human form was similar to Yale and Wyba; that was also a gift from Liye as he knew that Yale considered her as a true big sister.
“Maybe you prefer me in this form?”
Seeing how Yale looked at her human form, Aiwai immediately changed to her half-beast form. She wasn’t like Wyba and really didn’t mind in which form he was, but she had lived a lot of time with wolf tail and ears, so she felt more natural like a half-beast.
“I truly don’t mind about your form; you are still my big sister regardless of the form you have. Now I need to tell you the current situation in the outside world. I know you can’t get out, but the situation is dire, I will need all the help you can give me from here. Sorry for turning our reunion into a serious meeting, but it was less than an hour since some people tried to kidnap Wyba. Of course, I discovered it and killed all of them.”
Yale knew that by saying the kidnap attempt to Wyba, he would obtain Aiwai’s attention. At that moment he really wanted every support he could obtain because the war in the Revgen Empire was imminent.
