Last Wish System

Chapter 260 - The Ruler

260 The Ruler:

Yale observed Nurvey who had changed a lot in the last six years.

She was taller compared to before, but she was still a head shorter than Yale was. However, Yale was quite tall, so Nurvey’s height wasn’t that bad for a girl.

Nurvey’s body didn’t lose to Aizu’s, but the expression on her face and her demeanor were completely different; her expression was cold and aloof, she transmitted the sensation that she was above the ordinary people, which was very suitable for someone of her position.

Moreover, she was already at the 5-star Practitioner Rank, an extremely high level for someone of her age. Part of it was due to her talent, but being taught by the Emperor Revgen himself had played the biggest role in her increase of strength.

“Where is Wyba?”

Except for Yale, everyone else was surprised by those words; especially Lashar who knew who Wyba was.

“She is with me, but she is hidden because I feared that some foolish guards would try to kill her if they were to see her appearing from the portal.”

The guards felt like if their blood was frozen after being coldly stared by Nurvey; they could sense that her anger was even greater than when they attacked Yale.

“No food. One month.”

The elders understood that Nurvey was ordering that those prisoners shouldn’t eat anything for the next month. That was quite cruel even though they were at the Expert Rank and didn’t have the same need to eat as much as an ordinary mortal, one month without eating anything would still be hard for them, although it wasn’t something that would kill them.

Nurvey was about to ask Yale to let she meet Wyba when she saw something that she never believed that would happen.

The Emperor Revgen had appeared personally.

“Grandfather!”

Nurvey was Revgen’s granddaughter, and she was the relative who had the closest relationship with him due to being also his disciple, but even she needed to go seeing her grandfather when she wanted to speak with him.

“Oh, little lass, you are also here. This old man had come to see an old friend.”

It was pretty weird hearing Revgen, who looked like a handsome man in his thirties, to speak about himself as an old man, but everyone who knew his identity knew that he was extremely ancient despite his looks.

“Revgen…”

Yale muttered softly after seeing that man who had suddenly appeared. He was able to recognize him even without anyone else pointing it out.

At that moment, everyone was shocked by Yale’s way to speak with Revgen. Although he had just muttered those words, those elders were able to hear him. Moreover, based on Emperor Revgen’s previous words, there was some kind of relationship between the two of them.

However, Yale had no time to worry about the strange faces of the elders because he started to have a great headache.

“The user upgraded the Passive Skill [Pain Tolerance] to Level 41.”

“The user upgraded the Passive Skill [Pain Tolerance] to Level 42.”

“The user upgraded the Passive Skill [Pain Tolerance] to Level 43.”

The pain he was feeling made the level of his Pain Tolerance to soar while a lot of memories related to Revgen resurfaced in his mind. Most of them were miscellaneous memories, but with them, Yale couldn’t see Revgen as an unrelated person to him like moments ago when he didn’t remember anything about him. After obtaining those memories, he couldn’t avoid considering Revgen as a true friend.

“The user upgraded the Passive Skill [Pain Tolerance] to Level 60.”

“The user upgraded the Passive Skill [Pain Tolerance] to Level 61.”

“The user upgraded the Passive Skill [Pain Tolerance] to Level 62.”

That headache just lasted for a few seconds, but Yale’s Pain Tolerance had increased more than twenty levels.

Moreover, Yale’s power had also increased in those seconds; he reached the absolute peak of the Practitioner Rank, and the only reason for not advancing more was the restriction of the Last Wish System.

“Revgen, it has truly been a lot of time. I heard that you secluded yourself for all those years, but at least you decided to go out to receive this old friend of yours.”

At that moment, Yale’s voice was the same as before, but it seemed to give a different feeling from before; the voice seemed to contain some ancientness making it seem like if the one speaking was someone who had lived for thousands of years and not a sixteen years old guy.

The memories obtained after seeing Revgen didn’t have any major importance by themselves besides increasing the familiarity of Yale with Revgen, but there were thousands of years of miscellaneous memories.

Of course, Yale could choose to not speak with that hidden ancientness, but he thought that it was better to speak like that in that situation.

Although the other people in the room were already thinking that there was something abnormal with Yale, they could just open their mouths after hearing him speak with Revgen.

“I have just secluded myself to wait for you. I am not as foolish as those others who sought death for themselves by going against your advice. Although they still brought calamity to me without the need to do anything by myself…”

All those years, Revgen never left his room personally, and in the most extreme cases, he had only sent an incarnation, but even at that moment, he was extremely cautious.

The shock on the faces of everyone in the room just increased when they heard Revgen’s words; they knew nothing about Revgen’s decision to shut himself, but they understood that it seemed to be related with the young man in front of them.

The ones who were having the worst time were the guards that had dared to attack Yale earlier. It was already troublesome that he had some relationship with Nurvey, but being someone who could make the Emperor leave his seemingly eternal seclusion was far more fearsome.

“This isn’t a good place to speak. We should go to somewhere else for speaking about important topics.”

Yale noticed the faces of everyone in the surroundings and understood that they weren’t speaking in the ideal place.

“You are right, but first I shall deal with those who dared to attack you. I may be the emperor of the Revgen Empire, but you are the ruler of this continent, such disrespect towards you can’t be tolerated even if they are members of the Imperial Family.”

The shock of everyone just increased as they looked towards Yale. They had some guesses about why that young guy was being treated in such way by Revgen because they had some knowledge about the existence of reincarnated experts and it was clear that Yale was one of them, but they didn’t expect that Revgen called Yale the ruler of the continent.

“How do you plan to punish them?”

Yale didn’t feel like protecting those who had attacked with mercilessly even if they were unable to harm him. At the same time, those guards were sweating with the hope that their death would be quick and without too much pain.

They didn’t have any hope to survive after having offended someone who seemed to have even a higher status than the Emperor Revgen, but at least they hoped to avoid being tortured for hundreds of years before being killed.

“They shall die for their acts. However, their sin seems to be just being foolish, and they didn’t seem to have the intention to harm our continent, so I think that you can just use Merciful Reincarnation on them. If they are truly loyal to us, they will reincarnate, and I will ensure that will be on our Imperial Family again, giving them a second chance. However, if they have bad intentions, the endless torture to their souls until they dissipate would be the best punishment for them.”

Yale nodded to Revgen’s suggestion, which was fair enough, given the fact that there weren’t any true loses on his side.

“Alright, but there is something more important to do first, put them in some isolated jail and I will send them to reincarnation later on.”

Revgen nodded after remembering that he still had to something to give to Yale that would be very important for using Merciful Reincarnation.

“You are right. Elders sent them to an isolated jail; no one can enter that jail until I go with my friend to send them to reincarnation. As for everything which had happened here, you can’t say anything to anyone, or you know what would be your fate.”

The elders hurriedly nodded and left with the caught guards; they didn’t dare to disobey Revgen.

“Little lass, you can come with us. It was thanks to your report about the Space-time Judgment Sword that I noticed that my friend had already reincarnated.”

Revgen was pleased that Nurvey, who had decided that would be his successor even before the events of the special realm, had turned a friend of his own old friend.
