137 Soul-Searching (1/2)

To the bear-eared man, everyone was only a chess piece to be used by him; he didn't consider them different than normal beasts which he could kill whenever he wanted, and he didn't trust any of them. He only let his subordinates live because they were useful to him.

That was why he went personally to kidnap Aiwai and made all his powerful followers to go with him; he felt that any of his subordinates could try to cheat him and sold her to other power or steal something belonging to him while he was assaulting Aiwai. He didn't worry about weaklings, but the ten Rank 7 experts would have an easy time to betray him if he lowered his guard, a lot of powers would be glad to have a Rank 7 lackey.

He was a paranoid who never believed in others; he was hoping to learn the soul-searching skill someday to be able to spy everyone without the help of any formation.

”Will you explain that method to me? I heard that with the target's collaboration the chances of success increases.”

Yale was ready to summon Tar at any moment, but he still hoped to find a method to win without needing to use his trump cards. The fact the bear-eared man wanted to do something to his soul caught Yale's attention, Yale's soul wasn't normal, and even the system was in his soul.

The bear-eared man seemed happy with Yale's behavior; he thought that Yale knew what was good for him and wanted to help them to increase his own chances of living.

”You only need to stand there; we will set a formation to extract every piece of information from your soul. If you collaborate enough with us, maybe your soul won't be damaged. This formation is awesome; it allows me to use some power from the Death Law.”

The quantity of Death Law that formation could help him to control wasn't higher than the quantity of Time Law that Yale could control by himself, but even in that case, the Death Law was still a scary law, it was better to avoid anything related to it if there were any chance of being affected by it.

”System, will that formation be able to obtain information from me or affect my soul?”

As the system was also part of his soul, it would definitely be related to any intent of soul-searching him; Yale would believe the system's answer.

”The chances of the other party affecting the user's soul are 0%. The other party won't be able to obtain anything from the user.”

Yale relaxed after hearing the system's reply, he was still ready to use Absolute Protection at any moment, but the system knew Yale's soul better than himself.

While Yale was speaking with the system, the others were quickly setting the formation, that formation covered all the terrains belonging to the house. So, even if Yale tried to flee, at most he would make a bit more difficult the soul-search and increase the damage to himself, but he wouldn't be able to avoid it. Of course, there was no way for them to know about the Last Wish System.

The Death law in the area inside the formation turned denser, that was the only reason someone like to bear-eared man would be able to control some. After all, he had no talent in it, the density was inferior to the Time law density in the special realm, but with a Time Law of the same density as the current Death Law, Yale would be able to use it far better than the bear-eared man.

The price to use that formation was high for the bear-eared man's underlings, they were using their own lifespan, but they didn't dare to go against their boss as they would only lose a bit and opposing the boss was instant death.

The bear-eared man laughed loud; he was excited as he was able to barely sense the Death Law with the increased density.

”This is the Death Law! With it, no one can oppose me.”

His laugh was filled with madness, and even his own consciousness was being eroded by the Death Law, that law was a double-edged sword, using it wrongly could harm more the one who tried to control it than the opponent, but the bear-eared man didn't pay attention to that, he only wanted to feel the power in his hands.

”Soul-search!”

There was no need to shout anything to use the skill, but he simply wanted to say it, he was drunk with the power.

”Soul attack blocked correctly. Counter executed correctly, all the Death Law into the area is now controlled by the system.”
