210 Sword Bloodlines Two Methods (1/2)
Yale didn't return to his house; he changed his appearance and left Sword City to be alone some time for thinking about the two options he had to obtain the Sword Bloodline.
Although Yale wasn't a saint, he wasn't a wicked person either, so he was hesitating about those methods.
The evil method was the one which would benefit him the fastest, but he was really reluctant to do it because of the fact that method was against his morals.
The method was quite simple and vicious; he needed to kill members of the Larken Clan with the Sword Bloodline and use Bloodline Manipulation to extract the bloodline and refine it to create his own, the better quality those members had, the quicker he would obtain it. In fact, by killing Lar and absorbing her bloodline, he would obtain the Sword Bloodline immediately.
However, that option was directly discarded, he pondered about absorbing the bloodline of other members of the Larken Clan or not, but he didn't plan to harm Lar even if that benefited him a lot.
Besides Lar, the only member of the Larken Clan who Yale knew was Durgan; he really didn't care about others as he didn't know them. However, those were still his past life's descendants, and there was no grudge between them and Yale, so it wasn't easy for Yale to decide to massacre them to obtain the Sword Bloodline.
One of the reasons he wanted to think with calm outside Sword City was to avoid the temptation of explaining those two options to Lar because he knew that she would at least give him the rest of the clan as offerings in order to increase Yale's strength. He even feared that due Lar's crazy love, she would sacrifice herself to help Yale, and that was something Yale didn't want.
The other option seemed way better to Yale, but he knew that would be somewhat slow. Usually meeting the conditions for that method would be difficult, but for Yale that was easy, the only thing which made him doubt was the time he would need because that would also mean needing more time to meet Aiwai again.
The slow method required the collaboration of someone with a perfect Sword Bloodline. That person would need to activate the bloodline at full strength and battle against Yale while he observed how the bloodline acts through Bloodline Manipulation. That should be repeated a lot of times.
The method said that by doing that, Yale would know how to recreate the bloodline by himself, but he was a bit skeptical about that; he couldn't even imagine how to do it. Of course, trying the method would be easy because Lar would be extremely happy about helping him with it.
”I will try the second method. If it really works, there would be no need to kill anyone. However, if someone of the Larken Clan dares to attack me for any reason, I don't mind changing my opinion.”
Both methods weren't incompatible, and it was possible to use both of them combined. However, Yale finally chose to use the slow method unless the Larken Clan gave him reasons to attack them.
Besides the moral part of killing innocent people, which Yale already didn't like, the Larken Clan was a noble clan with a lot of influence and power, so Yale didn't want to anger them without a good reason.
Of course, if he hadn't had another way to obtain the Sword Bloodline, he would have needed to offend them because the five legacy bloodlines were a must to him.
”I shall go back now. I will just ask Lar to help me with the second method. As for the existence of the other one, I will just hide it; I don't want her to harm herself or others to help me obtaining the Sword Bloodline.”
Yale hadn't gone too far from the city; he just needed a bit of calm to think about the options he had before being influenced by others.
After returning to his house, he found that Wyba and Lar were waiting him annoyed by his sudden disappearance after the battle. Yale knew very well that those two wouldn't let him think with calm if he had stayed, so he didn't mind about their opinion.
”Liye, why are you disappearing without saying anything? Do you have some affair with another girl?”
