249 Being in Front of Something Without Noticing I (1/2)

”I know that this is an Enslaving Altar Formation, but how do you plan to rescue her? Moving her by force is dangerous, or at least that was the information that expert told me. However, if we break this formation before rescuing her, we will be surrounded before we can escape and it wouldn't ensure that Ange will be safe either.”

Yale's father had obtained some knowledge about the Enslaving Altar Formation, but it was also rather basic, and the only important pieces of information were the danger of moving someone away from the formation without stopping it, the risks of stopping it, and how to stop it.

”Can you explain what part of moving her away or stopping the formation is dangerous?”

If the danger was just that the formation would attack them or something of that style, Absolute Protection was enough to save them; even if Ange were in direct contact with the altar when it attacked, she wouldn't be harmed.

”The formation is attacking Ange's soul; if the formation stops abruptly, the energy attacking her soul will turn berserk, and that berserk energy will damage her soul. Even if we break the formation by normal means, there will still be a fifty percent chance of her soul being damaged. Although that would still be better than turning into a slave, I don't wish that fate for her because I know that you will force her to reincarnate in that case.”

It was just as Yale's father said, if Ange's soul was damaged to the point she couldn't live normally, Yale would choose to make her reincarnate to free her from that fate.

An injured soul is too unstable, making her wait in that state in the hope that Yale reached the level to help her would only make her lose her mind. The mind of a normal person couldn't endure too much time with an injured soul; only true experts are able to do it for some time like how Liye or Lar had been able to remain alive for some time even when their souls were in a dissipation state, which was much worse than just soul damage.

”I am not confident in stopping that with my current power, but let me check something.”

Yale didn't want Ange's soul to be damaged nor force her to reincarnate due to that, so he wanted to check all the possibilities. He knew that the expert who talked with his father had given him a lot of information but not how to save her, so he guessed that it was because his father didn't need to know about it as Yale was capable of doing it himself.

There was only one possibility in Yale's mind to stop something like that, the Storage Space.

Yale had disappeared from that room and appeared inside the Storage Space, which provoked that his father had been a bit shocked due to it, but that just lasted for an instant until he remembered his believing that he could expect anything from a reincarnated expert.

Yale wasn't confident in that just being inside the Storage Space would protect her in the same way as Aiwai because despite seeming similar problem the natures of their problems were completely different.

Liye had used it to avoid Aiwai's problem to affect her until the moment when Yale could heal her. Aiwai was still in an undamaged state thanks to Liye's help, but if the root of the problem weren't solved her soul would end facing the consequences once she exited the Storage Space.

Ange's problem was different; the danger to her wasn't that her soul would deteriorate as the time passed, but that something that was trying to invade her soul and would retaliate from the inside at any moment when she left that Enslaving Altar Formation.

Inside the Storage Space, Yale went to an area that didn't have anything in it and started to try to manipulate the time; he hoped to create a small area with the time stopped that emulated the previous functionality of the Storage Space.

If it was only creating an area with the time slower than in the outside, that was within Yale's capabilities inside the Storage Space, but completely stopping the time was difficult to do even in that situation.

Yale activated his Time Bloodline hoping that it would help him to create a small zone with the time stopped. At that moment, he felt a familiar sensation resonating with his Time Bloodline, but he was unable to detect the source of it.

Moreover, that resonance let Yale create a small area where one minute inside was comparable to one day outside. Sadly, Yale didn't know how much time would Ange have before that retaliation of the enslaving energy, and he didn't want to play with Ange's safety, so that time rate wasn't enough; he wouldn't be confident unless he managed to stop it completely.
