80 We Will Meet Again (1/2)
Due to the decrease in members in Yale's group, Hyrk was resisting alone towards all the opponents except Kreg who was still battling with Kermu.
Kermu saw that only the original group he had formed and Yale who joined them just at the start were still remaining, and after seeing how Hyrk was heavily injured, he took a decision.
Kermu used his most powerful attack forcing Kreg to evade it and then he used that time to run towards Hyrk attacking with all his power any opponents who were in his way.
Kermu grabbed Hyrk by his clothes and went towards the portal as fast as he could go. If he were too slow, Hyrk would die because Serka wasn't able to heal him at enough speed when he was battling so many opponents who were injuring him without stop.
Hyrk's injuries were becoming something that surpassed Serka's healing capabilities. Those injuries were already at the level that couldn't be fully treated by someone at the Mortal Rank; it wasn't Serka's fault.
Hyrk chose to receive such injuries to help the others; he was prepared to die while protecting everyone. Hyrk decided to die like a hero instead of living like a coward who had lost his honor, that was the method Hyrk chose to use to pay for his previous mistake.
However, Kermu didn't want any of his friends to die, so he tossed Hyrk into the portal before it as too late.
”Serka follow him! He may die before reaching the other side without your healing. With such injuries crossing a space-time passage is extremely dangerous.”
Serka obeyed Kermu as everyone else had left and Nurvey was the one maintaining the barrier so she couldn't leave before them. Of course, as Yale was the one who was supporting the space-time passage, he couldn't go before them either.
”I will see you outside Yale. Don't worry about our family matters I will manage to solve it.”
Serka left after those words; she knew that as many people knew about Yale's true identity, it would be difficult to hide it.
Even if none of them had bad intentions towards Yale, it was easy that they tell it to someone as they didn't mention in any moment that it was secret, and even if they had said it, it would still be useless as the rumors would start to spread sooner or later.
Thus, she had to ensure enough backing for Yale because she was the first in revealing Yale's identity and she wanted to compensate him.
Fortunately, Yale was in good relation with someone of all the clans and the imperial family. Especially the Larken Clan and the Tofesh Clan that didn't lose any member thanks to Yale had an extremely good favorable impression of him.
The faction of the Zhan Clan who hated Yale's mother wouldn't be able to touch him if those two clans stood by his side and Kermu's position in the Kurk Clan ensured that they would also stand by his side. Even Nurvey, with her personality, had spoken for Yale before.
Even Hyrk risked his life to follow Yale's plan. Yale had managed to forge good relationships with all the clans and the imperial family in the time they were in the special realm. There weren't many boys of his age who had such good relationships with all of them.
Kermu didn't waste time and followed behind her without saying any words, he understood the current situation better than Serka, and he knew very well how to help Yale after leaving the special realm.
As Nurvey's barrier wouldn't last for too long, Kermu had left directly to let Nurvey and Yale follow him quickly as they were at their limits.
Only Yale and Nurvey remained from their group; one was in charge of supporting the portal and the other the barrier.
However, as there was no one battling with the other party, the barrier was receiving all the attacks. If it weren't because Nurvey was going all out to maintain it, it would have been destroyed long ago. Even under those conditions, the barrier would only last for less than a minute.
As the barrier was reaching the limit, Yale shouted again.
”Nurvey, hurry! I won't be able to last more time, don't worry about the barrier and enter the portal!”
Yale was also at his limit, and Nurvey was the only one remaining, once she left, Yale wouldn't need to worry more.
Nurvey looked at Yale implying that he should leave the realm together with her.
”Once I enter into the passage it will close. The passage isn't big enough to let both of us cross it while it is closing. Don't worry about me I will be alright!”
Yale saw how Nurvey stepped into the passage with Wyba in her arms and smiled as Nurvey was already safe once stepped into the portal. The realm's self-destruction won't be able to affect any of his friends.
However, just before entering the portal, Wyba jumped from Nurvey's arms, avoiding entering into the passage.
