171 Yales Prophecy (1/2)

Yale's blood reacted at Yale's enlightenment creating powerful time ripples around his body.

Shirk was unable to perceive those ripples, but he felt that his body was unable to move. However, he was conscious; he felt like if the time had stopped for everything except Yale who started to transform until taking human form.

After the enlightenment, Yale's bloodline from the Zhan Clan awakened, his change of form was also due to awakening his human bloodline, but to Shirk, it was something different.

Yale's Frost Winged Wolf bloodline remained active, so for others, both bloodlines appear as if there was only one. Yale needed to suppress one on them willingly to avoid that.

Thus, Shirk felt like if he was seeing the bloodline awakening from a half-beast with a divine beast bloodline or just someone with a divine beat bloodline unleashing the bloodline's full power. Due to both the divine bloodline from human and divine beast bloodlines being divine bloodlines, it was extremely easy to make a mistake seeing Yale.

As for a wolf-type divine beast with control of time, Shirk didn't need to think a lot to find one; there were legends about a lot of half-beasts although the only known half-beast with divine bloodline was Anpaes. However, not all of those divine beasts in the legends existed in reality, a lot of them were just created by rumors or derivatives from other divine beasts.

Shirk thought about the Time Freezing Wolf, it was described as a winged wolf with silvery white fur, and the rumors said that it was one of the ancestors of the Frost Winged Wolves; the Time Freezing Wolves were said to be able to control the flow of the time, stopping it for their preys before eating them.

Although it might seem a coincidence, there were too many divine beasts suspected to be ancestors for normal beasts, finding one who suited Yale's situation was easy. The legends about all the divine beasts had far less credibility than the story of the great war explained by Sebe, but as that was something that the commoners liked, almost everyone believed those legends about divine beasts.

Shirk had always been obsessed to improve his bloodline to turn strong; he was very well versed in divine beasts because he had always admired them and seeing Yale's transformation was like seeing one of those legends turning true.

Moreover, Yale was an extremely mysterious kid who was able to do things that even people who lived extremely long lives couldn't do. Thus, Shirk would be more surprised if Yale didn't have some secret like having a divine beast bloodline.

Yale was clearly abnormal for the age everyone thought he had, but if the fact that he had a divine beast bloodline was included, having abnormalities compared with other half-beasts was normal.

Yale was unaware of the fact the time in the room had stopped due to him or the fact he had changed to his human form; the reason was that the at the same moment the time ripples appeared, he had a vision and was immersed in it.

Yale found himself running for the streets of the capital in the vision, he was in his half-beast adult form, the houses near him were burning, there were a lot of corpses in the surrounding, and sounds of battle could be heard from the palace.

Yale couldn't understand how the capital of the Anpaes Kingdom reached that state, but there was no doubt that something big happened. He wanted to know where Aiwai and Wyba were, but he was in a vision; he was just looking, so he couldn't act.

While running, he saw Shirk on his knees; he was easily identifiable from far away due to his looks. Yale changed the direction to go towards him; Shirk was injured, but due to his regenerative capabilities were extremely high,those wounds were nothing for him, his depression didn't have relation with his own injuries.

”Why? You almost forced me to not work today and relax myself. However, now you are dead, as your guard this is my biggest failure. I should have protected you even if you didn't want. My power is still lacking, but with my defense and regeneration I could have won some time.”

In the floor, there was a headless corpse with the lacking head being near it, that was Sebe's head.

Yale couldn't believe that in his vision Sebe had been killed. Believing that Sebe would be killed inside the capital was difficult, but he had proved that unless he tried to avoid it, his visions turned true at some moment.

Shirk noticed Yale's presence and turned towards him with teary eyes.

”I am a failure. Although I was able to turn strong thanks to sir Yale, at the crucial moment when my strength could have been useful, I wasn't there. Sir Yale, can you help prince Sebe?”

In the vision, Yale shook his head while the Yale who was seeing the vision wondered why Shirk used sir when calling his name

”I am sorry, I can't do nothing for Sebe. He is already dead, and his soul has already left his body.”
