372 Sealed Existence (1/2)

Swordmad smiled after hearing Yale's oath.

”I am sure that you will do it. Now, go ahead. Don't lose your time by the shackles of the past.”

There wasn't a concept of time in the Timeless Border, but Swordmad wasn't speaking about that literally, and Yale understood it before leaving.

Swordmad knew that Yale inwardly wanted to know more about his previous life, but Swordmad didn't want that Yale would end sacrificing everything just to learn about it.

Yale continued his path across the darkness while meeting a lot of shadows on his way.

”I have been waiting for you, Yale.”

When Yale heard a boy welcome him in that way, he was quite shocked. Although all the shadows showed interest in meeting others, only those who had a relationship with Yale knew about his name.

It would have been possible learning it before Yale met with the Battle God as Yale's mind was easy to read but doing it after that was quite difficult unless the other party had a will as strong as the will of the Battle God.

However, Yale didn't remember having met someone like the boy in front of him. Moreover, that was the first time he had seen a shadow that looked so young.

That boy looked at most nine or ten years old. He had silver hair and a pair of golden eyes that seemed filled with deep wisdom, which was something very strange in the Timeless Border and even in the real world for such a young boy.

”Have we meet before?”

Yale was sure that he didn't remember the other party, but at the same time, he didn't feel that both of them were complete strangers and even felt that they have a very close relationship.

”I guess that this should be the first time that I meet your consciousness, but I know you very well.”

Yale felt the situation even more strange than before. By the words of the boy, it seemed that he had met Yale's shadow or a shadow left in his previous life.

However, in case of being Yale's future shadow, Yale shouldn't have any feeling of relationship with that boy, and if it had been a shadow of his past life, he wouldn't have been called by his current name.

”Who are you? What relationship do you have with me?”

Yale felt that there was something strange about the other party, and he confirmed it after thinking it well about it.

At the start, Yale had neglected that fact due to the shock of having his name called, but that boy in front of him seemed to have a will as strong as the Battle God, which meant that had complete freedom and possibly could also read Yale's mind.

”No, he seems to be different.”

Yale instantly thought that because although that boy didn't seem to have any restriction like the Battle God, Yale's intuition told him that they weren't the same.

”Sharp intuition, as I expected. You are right, I am not like the Battle God because I am not a shadow, but a materialized consciousness like you.”

Yale was a bit shocked at the start, but no one had told him that it was impossible meeting with someone like him who was a real consciousness moving around the Timeless Border, so he didn't have much difficulty accepting it.

”As for our relationship... Can't you deduce it by looking at me?”

Yale looked that boy again. Before, his gaze was attracted by the hair and the eyes, so he failed to notice that boy's face.

At that moment, Yale's eyes opened to their limit because the face of that kid was seventy percent similar to his face when he was at that age.

”How can this be? Can he be my future son or grandson? This is the Timeless Border, and it isn't impossible to happen, but from where the hair and the eyes turned like that? That hair is similar to my half-beast form, but he looks like a human, so it shouldn't be related to that. Moreover, there is still the eyes...”

Yale's mind was in turmoil at that moment after realizing that it would be too hard for both of them not having any relationship at that point.

”Forget about my hair and eyes, they are just the effect of an ability I used before coming here, and the colors always return to normal after that. Originally, my hair and eyes are like yours.”

Yale was sure that the other party had read his mind, but after hearing that reply, he was even more sure that the other party was his descendant.

”Can you tell me your name?”

Although Yale had a lot of descendants due to the desperation of his previous life, he still felt weird with that situation since the boy in front of him didn't seem someone of the clans created due to the divine bloodlines.
