241 Essence Skill (1/2)

Yale appeared outside Nacesai City after exiting the portal. However, even from there, he was able to see that a huge battle had happened in the city.

”The system said forty-eight hours, but the current state is already terrible. I hope everyone is alright.”

Yale took out his wings and flew up above the clouds; he didn't dare to be reckless as he wasn't sure of the exact power of the ones who attacked Nacesai City.

He flew directly in the direction of Nacesai Academy because that was the only place where there were people he wanted to protect; he didn't even think about the Roanmad Clan that he already knew that had chosen to cooperate with the True Empire. Of course, he was only aware of the plans; he didn't know if Ange had been already captured or not at that moment.

When Yale saw that the barrier of the Nacesai Academy was still active, he sighed in relief, but he also saw that there was an army surrounding them, and at the pace that they were attacking the barrier it was just a matter of time that they broke it.

”There are many people at the Master Rank and the Expert Rank; beating them won't be easy. Moreover, those two at the Elder Rank will be problematic to deal with.”

While Yale was thinking about how to deal with those members of the True Empire, he heard their leader's words including the part about Ange.

At that moment, he lost his control thinking of what could have happened to Ange. Yale was someone who didn't even blink when killing others, but touching any of his sisters was a red line that couldn't be crossed, or he would turn crazy and lose the control.

The Condensed Sword Essence and the Condensed Death Essence activated simultaneously while Yale was thinking of starting to create the Thunder Ice Sword Rain.

However, although the result was similar, it was essentially a different type of skill when it was finished. The swords were thin and small as needles, and they weren't covered by thunder but by the power of the Death Law and the Sword Law; the essences were superior to the laws, so for a skill created through the enlightenment of two essences, having law power in the attack wasn't difficult. Moreover, the swords weren't made from ice, but from a concentrated poison.

”The user obtained the Essence Skill [Death Swords Rain] by enlightenment.”

At that moment the definition of the skill appeared in Yale's mind, but he wasn't conscious about that.

”Death Sword Rain: Creates needle-like swords made from poison and covered by the Sword Law and the Death Law. Requires an understanding of Sword Essence and Death Essence. The strength of the attack is related to the user's understanding. It is impossible to use any other energy to create this skill.”

That skill surpassed the level of a Law Skill like Time Slash; the Death Sword Rain was an Essence Skill, a type of skill difficult to execute even by Law Masters. The only reason for Yale being able to use it was the enlightenment provoked by the two condensed essences because they were something that surpassed the Law Master level.

The skill was slow to create, but Yale was unconscious of the time while in his enlightenment state. However, when the leader of the attackers to Nacesai City repeated his words after Swordmad reached the barrier, Yale unconsciously launched the attack.

That attack seemed like a normal rain and the swords melted in contact with anything, so no one was alerted until a few seconds later when the poison started to take effect on their bodies.

Those seconds of delay made that everyone in the True Empire's party had been in contact with the Death Sword Rain.

In fact, that was a very powerful attack but also extremely easy to block due to Yale's lack of power to execute it even if the enlightenment state was helping him. Any random energy cover to the body would be enough to avoid being hit, but no one bothered to do that for a bit of rain.

On the other hand, once the poison had penetrated to their bodies thanks to the penetrative power of the Sword Law, the Death Law started to erode their bodies from the inside, making them unable to move freely.

Even the leader who was at the Elder Rank was unable to break free of the poison and needed to use almost all his strength trying to suppress it; the same applied to the other member at the Elder Rank.

The poison wasn't too deadly as long one focus in suppressing it, but it was impossible to get rid of it in a short time, and while trying to suppress it, the power of the people infected would be far lower than usual. Of course, if the poison was left on the body without trying to suppress it, death was the only possible outcome. Moreover, the damage dealt by that kind of poison was extremely difficult to heal due to being related to the Death Essence.
