259 Foolish Portal Guards (1/2)

Yale and Lashar appeared in a big room with exuberant decorations. The quality of the details in the walls and the ceiling were extremely detailed, and it was difficult to estimate how much time someone had needed to do it.

”Two people appeared from the portal of the Larken Clan! One of them wields a sword! The Larken Clan is rebelling against the Imperial Family, kill them!”

A middle-aged man shouted while running towards Yale with a spear in his hands. Immediately others followed him and also attacked Yale.

Those men barely qualified as members of the Imperial Family; they almost had no relationship with them, so they relied upon military merits to retain their positions.

They had been told that it was possible that traitors would appear from the portals and that in such case they needed to contact their superiors and activate the formations to suppress them until the elders arrived.

When they saw Yale, who had the Space-time Judgment Sword in hand, they thought that he was a traitor and that the Larken Clan head had betrayed the empire.

Before those men reached the place where Yale and Lashar had appeared after exiting the portal, a formation appeared to suppress both them. Even a Sage Rank expert would have difficulties moving in such a situation, so those guards were bold enough to attack despite knowing that the head of the Larken Clan was there.

They didn't need to attack because their orders were only waiting for the elders after having suppressed them, but they wanted to gather some merits by killing those intruders by themselves.

However, they underestimated Lashar because she was already a Law Master and that formation barely could affect her; there was an enormous gap between a Sage Rank expert and a Law Master.

Moreover, even Yale wasn't affected in the slightest; he didn't do anything to resist, but the Space-time Judgment Sword also seemed to have control over the formation and avoided that Yale was affected.

Those middle-aged men were at the Expert Rank, with only one of them having reached the Master Rank; they could be easily killed by Lashar at any moment since the formation didn't suppress her.

”I will block them until someone with more brain appears; it is better if we don't kill them immediately and let Revgen judge them later.”

After seeing that those guards had targeted them, Yale transmitted that message to Lashar by Spiritual Sense, and she nodded to that suggestion.

”Alright, but if I detect that you are in any type of danger, I will cripple all of them.”

Lashar didn't want to look for problems with the Imperial Family, but they were the first to attack with killing intent, and she still didn't plant to kill them in the case she retaliates after Yale would have failed to block them.

Yale immediately activated the Origin Sword Bloodline and the Origin Death Bloodline and then he used Bloodline Force with all his bloodlines.

The Origin Bloodlines were far more powerful than the other bloodlines, so using them to activate the skill made it far more effective, instead of multiplying his stats for five due to having four bloodlines, his stats multiplied by seven.

With such increase, his stats were already at the point that one would need to reach the 5-star Expert Rank to reach them by normal means.

Of course, Yale couldn't sustain that battle power for too long, but he just planned to win time until someone more reasonable appeared.

Yale was using the casual sword style to deal with those men, as that was a style created to delay the battles despite being strong enough to kill someone who isn't prepared enough.

”Why is this youngster so strong? Why aren't the reinforcements already here?”

The man at the Master Rank had a gloomy face because he never expected that the man in front of him was able to battle unaffected by the formation. That had been a huge mistake, and the first slash of Yale had injured him a bit due to being careless.

”We already contacted them, but they were in a meeting with the princess, so they will need some time to come here. That little girl is too arrogant just by having been taught by the emperor himself.”

That princess had a status only second to the emperor since the emperor had trained her personally. Moreover, the emperor had spoken very well about her talent and, he had announced to everyone that in the Imperial Family she was the one with the highest possibilities of turning a Law Master in her life.

Thus, almost everyone had the utmost respect for the princess; the exceptions were those who were jealous of her and thought that without the emperor's teaching she would be just a normal girl despite being fairly talented.

”You shall stop attacking, you can't beat me, and this is a misunderstanding.”
