Tofesh disappeared after that and Yales mind returned to his body and took the sword from the altar wielding it.

The barrier surrounding the altar disappeared when the sword was removed as the sword was the true core of the barrier.

Yale didnt wait for the shocked expressions of the others faded, he rushed towards Heruk and attacked with his recently acquired sword.

Heruk managed to evade Yales attack, but he wasnt able to avoid having severe injuries like before. After all, Yales sword was the best weapon created the founder of the Tofesh Clan who had a reputation that even reached other worlds.

Even if the sword didnt manage to hit Heruk directly, he couldnt avoid being injured. A mere 3-star mortal realm wasnt able to fight against that kind of sword.

Even if Yale had never wielded a sword before, using such powerful weapon he would still be able to beat Heruk. However, Yale didnt only wield that sword; he was also at the expert stage in swordsmanship, so he turned into a fearsome existence.

Of course, that could only apply inside the special realm because the sword needed the power of the laws of time and space to be used in full power and Yale was only able to control them inside the special realm due to their density. Yale didnt have affinity nor experience with the space element, but wielding the sword, he was able to barely use it, even if he relied mainly on the time law.

If anyone could use freely such powerful weapons, all the kids in the noble clans would have a top-rank weapon with them. Even if the actual top-rank weapons from the Tofesh Clan couldnt compare to the best piece its founder made in his life, those weapons would be enough to boost the kids power a lot.

However, such weapons wouldnt be correctly used by the kids and could become more burden than a help.

Furthermore, the best weapons had the right to choose their owners, the chances of a normal noble kid being selected by a weapon were scarce.

When Yale had crossed the barrier and wielded the altars sword, everyone thought that the sword had chosen Yale.

They didnt know that Yales past life took part in the creation of the sword and that since the moment the sword was forged, the only one capable of use it was Yales soul. Anyone without Yales soul would be unable to use the sword; it wouldnt cause only the loss of all the power the sword had, it would also become incredibly heavy.

Soul-bounded weapons could only be used by those who bound it in the moment of their creation. Of course, as long it was the same soul even after reincarnation the weapon would remember its owner and if the owners soul dissipated the weapon wouldnt have another master in all the eternity.

The crafter of the sword would be the only one aside from the owner capable of carrying the sword without suffering the rebound, that was the main reason Tofesh was the best person to take care of the sword. However, even for the one who created it, wielding such weapon would be impossible.

Tofesh had thought of killing himself with it even if he hadnt had enough resolution in the end, but he didnt need to wield the sword for that purpose; the weapon was mighty enough to kill someone even if no one was wielding it.

Evidently, that was only under the premise that the one who would be killed stabbed himself without opposing resistance.

After Yales previous attack, Heruk was utterly scared of him.

Before, Yale was already capable of threatening his life, but after obtaining the altars sword, Yale seemed a death god in Heruks eyes.

At that moment, Heruk made a desperate decision; he decided to advance to the 4-star mortal realm even if that was forbidden inside the special realm.

He had been at the peak of both paths for a long time, but he wanted to focus more on all his skills before advancing to reach the realms perfection. However, in the face of sure death, he chose to advance his realm disregarding anything else.

Just as Heruk advanced towards the 4-star mortal, the special realm started to tremble. It had already lost its core when Yale obtained the altars sword, and after Heruk broke its laws, the special realm chose the roughest method of punishment, the special realms self-destruction killing everyone who was inside.

The realms real objective was to pass the altars sword to Yale; all the other things in the realm were only a cover to fool any third party.

As the primary objective had been accomplished and an unwanted intruder dared to broke the laws of the realm, there were no more reasons for the special realms existence and self-destructing was the best method to ensure the intruders died.

Because Yale was wielding the special realms core; he was able to sense that the self-destruction had started.

System, is there a way to stop the realms self-destruction? Maybe by killing Heruk?

His past life created the system, and his past life had a relationship with both the sword and the special realm. As he was already sure of that, he also believed that the system should have a solution to the current problem.

As the owner of the realms core, the user wont be affected by the self-destruction, but there isnt any way to stop it until all the people the realm considered intruders were exterminated. Killing the one who has broken the laws, will only slow the process of self-destructing.

Yale didnt like that reply, he already felt that with the sword the realm stopped having any danger to him, but he wanted a method to save his friends.

Die!

Heruk attacked Yale madly; he thought that after advancing his power would be more than enough to deal with Yale with a sneak attack.

Yale sighed and swung his sword four times cutting Heruks four limbs in a second, that increase in rank didnt mean anything to the vast difference in power they had after Yale recovered his past lifes sword.

Heruk fell to the ground powerless crying due to the pain. His attempts to sneak attacking Yale to kill him had only resulted in his own defeat losing all his limbs.

You are the most despicable person I meet in my life. You can sacrifice your teammates without thinking, enjoying torturing your opponents and scheming to kill those you dislike instead of battling with your own power. Now you have provoked the realms self-destruction due to being unable to respect this place laws. Your chances of surviving are zero even if I dont kill you and everyone would be glad to kill you before the realm did the work.

Yales voice was infused with a cold murdering intent. Furthermore, it was true that even Heruks teammates wanted to kill him due to the disaster he provoked, no one felt pity when Yale cut all of his limbs.

Thats good! I will die, but you all will die with me! So what if I die a little before you all? Less suffering to me!

Heruk started to laugh like a madman; he really didnt mind about anyone who wasnt himself, even dying he still felt that his death would be better than the others death.

You wont simply die, your soul will be cursed for all the eternity. It would be a suffering without end until your soul dissipated forever.

As Yale said those words, he cut Heruks head, without waiting for the latters reply.

Yale didnt like torturing his opponents personally, enjoying others suffering wasnt part of his personality. Knowing the fate that Heruks soul would have was enough revenge for him, that was the worst fate possible, Heruk wouldnt rest in peace until his existence was entirely erased.

Furthermore, as killing Heruk would slow down the realms self-destruction he didnt want to lose more time.

Yale could feel that the sword cursed Heruk even if he wasnt able to see anything, he only knew that the sword should also have some relation with life and death due to its capabilities, but as those laws werent denser than in the outside world, Yale wasnt able to sense them.

Even if his past life had the idea of creating such sword, Yales understanding of it was still too low; he didnt even know the swords name.

Everyone saw how Yale killed Heruk as easy as killing a chicken; his allies were shocked but happy. However, those who chose to be his enemies were scared, but as they heard that the realm was self-destructing and the rumbles only increased, they had lost their hopes, they regretted letting a bastard like Heruk join their group because, in the end, he doomed all of them.

After killing Heruk, Yale continued trying to obtain a method to solve the situation asking the system. Yales life wasnt at risk, but his friends would die if he didnt find a way to save them.
