286 Kurk Clan’s Internal War
Krienek battled against the great elder with intense hatred on his eyes; he would have never believed that the other party would just start an internal war at the moment he lost the competition.
Both sides were losing people continuously, and that was a terrible suffering for Krienek who valued a lot all the members of the Kurk Clan.
However, the great elder and Krienek weren’t that far in power, so there was no way Krienek had time to save the others while battling.
Both of them were still uninjured, but besides them, Nurvey was the only one who remained without injuries.
It wasn’t that no one attacked her; a lot of members of the True Kurk Clan attacked her without mercy, but she was the princess of the Revgen Empire, so there was no way she didn’t have some life-saving measures.
However, although she wasn’t injured, that defense only worked for her, she was unable to save other and could only suffer internally when Serka was injured until being at the verge of the death.
Nurvey knew that Serka wouldn’t die immediately with such injuries given her healing powers, but it was impossible for her to endure for too long before dying.
Nurvey had experienced Yale’s Absolute Protection before, but the range and time before reappearing didn’t match with their situation as some minutes already passed since the battle started and the area of the training grounds was enormous. Thus, she ended discarding the possibility of everything being reverted back due to Yale’s power, which had saved them previously.
The Kurk Clan had been isolated, so no one on the outside should have been able to know about their affairs, nor no one inside should have been able to know about the matter outside.
To the True Kurk Clan, that was a perfect scenario for an internal war because no one would be able to come aiding Krienek.
However, despite the powerful isolation formation of the clan that even a Law Master wouldn’t be able to break without others noticing, the Mysterious Expert was on the sky looking towards the Kurk Clan’s internal war.
“So, Yale was killed by that member of the True Empire without having time to cast Absolute Protection. This is a bit early, but it didn’t suppose a big problem for the plan.”
The Mysterious Expert waved its hands, and the whole continent was isolated from the outside. Moreover, that isolation was powerful enough that even Revgen was unable to notice that something had happened.
Without knowing that the Mysterious Expert was monitoring the internal war of the Kurk Clan, Krienek and the great elder continued their battle.
Initially, Krienek had the advantage because he surpassed the great elder by a level, but the fact that Krienek was too worried for others distracted him, and the great elder didn’t waste that chance and ended up managing to injure Krienek.
“If you disregarded the lives of those ants, you would have won against me, but caring about others provoked your defeat and will provoke your death.”
Krienek’s injury wasn’t life-threatening, but his battle prowess diminished a lot due to it, so there was no way he could defend against the great elder.
Only a few minutes passed since Yale was killed and the internal war started, but at that moment the great elder was sure that the True Kurk Clan had won the war and the normal Kurk Clan would disappear forever.
He only needed one more hit to kill Krienek, and most of the members of the Kurk Clan were dead or deadly injured.
Although the True Kurk Clan had a similar number of casualties and the members were also in a dire state, they were just disposable pawns for the True Empire, so the great elder didn’t worry too much.
Nurvey was also desperate because although her defenses were still working, once the Kurk Clan would have lost, it was just a matter of time that she would follow them and die in the hands of the True Kurk Clan. Moreover, she looked at Serka, who’s healing power had stopped working and would die at any moment, which only increased Nurvey’s desperation.
The great elder was delivering the killing hit to Krienek, but despite the high speed that a Sage Rank expert had, the hit seemed to be in slow motion. In fact, everything had turned into a slow-motion for those who were in the war.
All the members of the Kurk Clan that were still conscious knew that at the moment Krienek died, there would be no hope for them. That hit that would kill Krienek was like the killing hit to them.
On the other hand, the members of the True Kurk Clan were expecting for the great elder’s hand to cut off Krienek’s head to ensure their victory.
Thus, both parties felt normal that the attack that would decide the fate of everyone seemed to be slow despite being quick.
The great elder’s hand was nearing Krienek’s neck to behead him, and the hand was already almost in Krienek’s neck provoking happiness to one side and desperation to the other.
However, the hand didn’t advance anything more after being at that point. Furthermore, no one else was able to move, and everyone felt like if the time has stopped.
“Sorry, I am late.”
A person was in the midst of the sky looking towards the sea of blood created from the internal war of the Kurk Clan.
Although everyone heard those words, they weren’t able to move their heads to look at the person speaking, so only those who were frozen in a position that let them see the sky were able to see the man flying in the sky.
“Those who battled for the sake of the Kurk Clan shall be recompensed.”
With a wave of his hand, the Life Law appeared on the Kurk Clan healing all the injuries of those who hadn’t betrayed the Kurk Clan. Moreover, some of them even made a breakthrough at that same moment.
Although even those who were on the verge of death like Serka were healed completely making difficult think that they were deadly wounded an instant ago, there was no way to resurrect those who had already died.
“Brave souls that died defending the Kurk Clan, I allow all of you to reincarnate again in the Kurk Clan conserving all your memories.”
That person waved his hand again, and the countless souls that had died battling against the True Kurk Clan were surrounded by the Death Law and the Life Law sending them to reincarnation.
Of the few people who could see the man who was speaking, Krienek, who was on the floor injured when the time stopped, was one of them and didn’t fail to recognize the person who was speaking.
However, of all the people who had the luck of being able to see the person who was speaking, he was the only one who was able to recognize that man.
That man looked like Yale, but he couldn’t understand how Yale had survived to have his chest pierced by the great elder’s hand.
Moreover, the pressure that Krienek felt from Yale’s body was the highest he had sensed in his life. Even when he had met Emperor Revgen some hundred years ago, he hadn’t felt such a huge pressure.
Nurvey was unable to see the figure on the sky, but she recognized his voice, and although there was some ancientness mixed on it, that voice was one that Nurvey couldn’t mistake.
The man on the sky was Yale, but there was ancientness hidden in his eyes and his voice, which was different from the Yale they knew.
The attack of the great elder had killed Yale, and he had been unable to cast Absolute Protection or do anything else before having his chest pierced by that attack and having been sent flying by the great elder.
However, the Origin Link was a trump card and also a life-saving measure at the same time, so at the moment he should have died, the Origin Link activated.
Having a hole in the chest might be deadly for someone at Yale’s level, but for a Law God, that was nothing. Thus, after activating the Origin Link, such kind of wound wouldn’t be something that could provoke the death of Yale’s body.
However, due to such high damage on the body, Liye needed some time before awakening completely. The delay was only a few minutes, but countless lives were lost in that short span of time.
“Traitors who dared to use the Space Bloodline to eradicate the Kurk Clan, as the creator of the Space Bloodline and your ancestor I curse all of you. You aren’t worthy of having the Space Bloodlines on your bodies!”
Any other people saying those words would be just despising the other party, but told by the creator of the Space Bloodline, the effects were immediate, and the members of the True Kurk Clan started to age as they lost their bloodlines.
Yale needed to activate an Origin Bloodline to control the legacy bloodlines, but Liye didn’t need anything to control them because he created them and knew how they work better than anyone else.
Of course, Liye used the energy on those bloodlines to improve the bloodline of those who had been loyal to the Kurk Clan; Krienek even obtained a perfect bloodline as he had a powerful bloodline from the start.
Liye didn’t forget about Kermu because he was someone recognized as a friend by Yale, so he sent the energy to the Storage Space and improved Kermu’s bloodline until turning it into a perfect bloodline.
“Don’t think that your sins are cleared just by losing your bloodlines. All your souls would be crippled and cursed to reincarnate mindless beasts forever.”
Liye didn’t even move before all the souls of the members of the True Kurk Clan were cursed and sent to reincarnation and the souls of those who were still alive left their bodies to follow the same destiny.
The great elder was the only member of the True Kurk Clan left alive and without any harm to his bloodline, but he felt terror when he noticed how all the people on his side disappeared in an instant.
“You are the worst of all on them; you won’t have such an easy time. Your fate will be far worse than the others.”
Liye had been enraged by the great elder because he was the one who killed Yale ahead of time making the plan a bit more troublesome. Liye knew that Yale would be killed in the war against the True Empire, but he had been killed earlier than expected.
