330 Bloodline Evolution (1/2)

Yale stored the body of the matriarch before entering the Storage Space.

Although Yale wasn't injured, he was mentally exhausted after ending the life of the matriarch.

Controlling the Time Law to look all the time to some second into the future while using Water Control, Time Freeze and Thunder Spear was extremely difficult for Yale at that moment and required all his concentration to make his plan succeed. In fact, if it wasn't because Yale was a reincarnated expert, there was no way that his soul could endure until using that combination of skills.

Inside the Storage Space, Yale went to a place where no one else was and rested there for three hours before deciding to go to the ship and report the situation to the others.

Yale knew very well that everyone was waiting to see him, but he needed those three hours of rest before anything else.

While resting Yale had time to check the Quest Menu, but he didn't have any new quest. Yale could only guess that since he finished the previous Quest with so much spare time, the system wouldn't give him a new quest immediately.

Anyway, Yale still wanted to go to the other continent as soon as possible because his intuition told him that reaching that continent would be related to the next quest.

When Yale teleported to the ship, he found that almost everyone was in the deck, including Mercer who was sat in the ground while hugging Merumi who had yet to awaken.

”Is good to see that you managed to retreat safely.”

Swordmad had been quite worried that the matriarch would change her decision and attack Yale since the later didn't return quickly to the ship.

”I didn't retreat. The matriarch is dead.”

While saying those words, Yale made the corpse of the matriarch appear in front of himself.

Everyone was shocked by seeing the state of that body, but the most shocked was Kaigur, who couldn't believe that the matriarch was killed by Yale alone. However, everyone, except Yale and Aiwai, was on the ship and Kaigur had learned about Aiwai's time limit, and there was no way that she was still outside.

Moreover, Kaigur had already seen Aiwai battling against the matriarch, and he was sure that Aiwai couldn't kill the matriarch, at most she could injure her and defeat her.

”Yale, who are you? How can you have that much power?”

Kaigur had learned that Yale wasn't the strongest in rank, but he couldn't deny that his strength had surpassed the others despite that.

”I will reply that question after Merumi awakes.”

Saying those words, Yale neared Mercer who was still hugging Merumi.

”Master, do you know why Merumi is still sleeping?”

Mercer was extremely worried by Merumi, but he didn't understand in which kind of state she was, so Mercer could only hug her body and wait until she awakened.

”Don't worry for her. Merumi's bloodline is evolving right now.”

No one expected that Yale would say those words. Everyone noticed that Merumi's hair color had changed, but no one thought that it could be related to an evolution of her bloodline.

”When will she wake up?”

Mercer didn't mind about bloodlines because he only wanted Merumi to awake as soon as possible.

”She will wake up once the evolution of the bloodline ended. Mercer, this evolution of bloodline is a blessing for her. if you really love her, you must remain with her in the process and stop being impatient.”

Yale understood that Mercer at that moment only wanted to see Merumi waking up from her slumber and didn't mind for anything else, but that time was very important for Merumi, and Yale didn't want that Mercer found any way to awake her forcefully.

”I understand, but...”

Yale sighed when he heard that. After all, Mercer was still a kid, and he was in love which made him more irrational.

”Mercer, I am serious with this. Just wait until she naturally wakes up. She even gave you her Mermaid's Blessing showing how much she loved you. Replying to her feelings by trying to waste her great opportunity to improve her bloodline is something that I can't tolerate from a disciple of mine.”

Yale was very serious while speaking and Mercer finally nodded because he understood that his master wanted the best for both of them.

”Master, what is that Mermaid's Blessing?”

Mercer guessed that it was the reason for his capability of breathing under the water, but he didn't understand exactly what the Mermaid's Blessing implied.
