Chapter 74: Special Realm’s Final Area
After being teleported, Aizu was the only one who vomited due to the space-time fluctuations. The fluctuations were even stronger than when they entered the special realm, but the nobles were still able to support it due to their training, and Yale’s managed to resist it with his skills and mental strength.
The room where they appeared was enormous and had a big statue of an old man behind an altar protected by a barrier spell; no one would doubt that it was the statue of the special realm’s creator.
When Yale’s group appeared, they weren’t the only ones being teleported; other three groups had also been teleported to the enormous room at the same time.
One of those groups was Durgan’s group with the other four members of the Larken Clan; it was expected that they managed to reach the end without too many difficulties.
However, Yale’s group attention focused on another group, Heruk’s group. They had also reached the final area, but there was one more person in their group than before, George.
No one would believe that he was part of the group, his body was full of wounds, and his right arm had been ripped off before being healed with natural healing, any healer who looked the healed injury would be able to know it.
After seeing the state of that arm, Yale had no doubts that George had lost it forever.
Yale’s personality turned even colder than when he saw Zack being crippled. After all, Zack had the possibility of being healed, but George wouldn’t be able to regrowth his arm due to the natural healing the others maliciously used on him.
Yale wasn’t the only one angry at the other group as everyone in his group wanted revenge against the other party, but the coldness Yale emanated shocked his companions as they had never seen him in such state.
“That guy without arm and full of wounds is George, right?”
Aizu was the first to speak, but her voice trembled while speaking as she was terrified after seeing Geroge’s state.
“Is him.”
Yale only used two words to reply her, at that moment his mind was thinking in ways to torture Heruk to revenge George and didn’t feel like talking to others.
Durgan’s group noticed Yale’s group quickly, but as they were quite far and had just teleported to an unknown area, they didn’t dare to move.
However, they could feel the hatred emanating from Yale’s group, and after seeing how the other party had a tortured guy with them, and that all the members of the group seemed happy seeing him in such sorry state, Durgan could only despise them and was starting to feel angry.
Even if he didn’t know Heruk, he knew all the other nobles in the group, and Durgan’s honor couldn’t tolerate that fact they were enjoying torturing a commoner.
The last group was also formed with nobles, but Yale had never met them before.
That group had nine members, two from the Hyeran Clan, one from the Kurk Clan, one from the Zhan Clan and the five members of the Tofesh Clan.
The Tofesh Clan was specialized in forging weapons more than in battling, to them the special realms were treasure troves with ancient weapons to be discovered.
In the room, there were members of the noble clans and the imperial family missing; they could have decided to leave the special realm before reaching the end, or they could be dead like the guy who Yale killed.
Heruk’s group were looking with strange faces towards Yale’s group; they had seen how the trap crushed them so they didn’t understand how could they be alive.
Everyone remained without moving for a while until a member of the Hyeran clan belonging to the group Yale didn’t meet before started running towards the altar.
Even if there were a barrier protecting it, he believed that with his strength he would be able to break it.
The reason he hurried was that at the top of the altar was a sword which seemed very valuable and there was only one so the first in getting it would be its owner.
Even if that guy wasn’t a swordsman, such valuable sword was still enticing to him, so he disregarded any possible danger and ran at top speed.
The others were about to move after seeing that guy running, but they stopped after seeing him attack the barrier.
The barrier was undamaged, but the guy was utterly destroyed, not even ash remained from him.
Everyone was shocked by that outcome, if the barrier just weren’t affected, then they would try with more attacks, but the barrier eradicated the one who attacked, that was too scary.
No one dared to have any intentions about the sword for the moment, they liked treasures and legacies, but they loved more their lives.
“Since we can’t get the sword, let’s kill those trashes who should be dead!”
Kreg was the one who said those words, if they let Yale’s group return alive, they would be in problems.
When Durgan saw that Kreg and his group were going to attack Yale’s group, he decided to speak.
“Wait! Why are you attacking them?”
Durgan felt the killing intent among both parties, he was against the internal fight among the noble clans, but if someone dared to tarnish the noble clans’ honor, he would act. After seeing how they have a tortured commoner, Durgan didn’t need to think too much to identify which was the problematic group.
“That guy from their group, the one with a sword beside Kermu. He is the son of a woman who betrayed the Zhan Clan, killing him and all the people who help him is the duty of the noble clans.”
Kreg spoke it with confidence as if he were always in the right.
“So, that’s how it is; then I will go to help them as it is a matter of my clan, did you mind?”
The Zhan Clan member from the other group was convinced by those groups and decided to join in attacking Yale’s group. The others in his group didn’t stop him, but they didn’t join the attack either.
“You are lying. I don’t know about Yale’s mother, nor I care. However, your reason to attack them wasn’t that; you need more practice in lying to cheat me.”
Kreg face was weird as he was discovered, his reason to attack was to kill Kermu and increase his position in the Kurk Clan. To Kreg, Yale’s matter was only a convenient excuse as he also didn’t care about the Zhan Clan affairs.
“You know him? He is only the son of a traitor who had been raised in a backwater city; he is worthy of nothing!”
The Zhan Clan member in Kreg’s group shouted as for him killing Yale was something that couldn’t be discussed.
“You are petty. I thought that Yale was talented even without knowing that he was from the Zhan Clan, my opinion won’t change because of his mother’s history, which I don’t even know if it is true. Even if that story is true, Yale doesn’t need to pay for his ancestry acts.”
At that moment Heruk exploded, he wasn’t able to remain silent after hearing Durgan’s words.
“Why did you like him? He is mere trash, whoever who had relations with him should be crippled slowly! Look at this guy, he is one of his best friends, he already lost his arm forever, and we will continue to cripple him slowly after that! Why would you like someone like Yale? It doesn’t make sense. You seem powerful so you should just join us! We are on the winner side, and they were the losers!”
Heruk’s ego had grown a lot after being with the group of shameless nobles; he forgot that even in the Hyeran Clan had offered him to join through marriage, officially he was still a commoner.
“Oh, a mere commoner without any honor like you dares to speak disrespectfully to me? I shall kill you for your words.”
Durgen liked talented commoners with the sword and with a good moral character, but he despised those who loved torture and bully others.
“Wait, I already officially engaged him with a girl of our clan, so he is almost a member, you can’t kill him.”
The Hyeran member of the shameless group spoke in Heruk’s behalf after seeing that Durgan was becoming angry.
“You engaged him with my sister without her consent, nor the clan’s approval, how can you say that he is officially engaged!”
Durgan felt that Hyrk’s words were sincere and his reputation was also better than the other party.
“Shut up! Who cares about that useless sister of yours? Using her to recruit Heruk is more valuable than her own life.”
Durgen had no doubts about what he needed to do, he also had a little sister, and he was able to empathize with Hyrk. Moreover, he disliked the other party behavior.
