541 A Method to Save Lar or No (1/2)

Yale thought about how to reply.

After all, there wasn't any problem with the sword itself; the problem was that Lar shouldn't be a sword.

”In fact, this sword was once a human...”

When Yale started to speak, the chief's face changed.

”Really? Did you transform this person yourself? Who taught you?”

The chief seemed excited when he heard Yale's words.

Initially, Yale feared that the chief would be angry, but the chief's reaction was completely opposite to Yale's fears.

”Well, I guess you can say I did it myself. She was about to die with her soul dispersed, and it was the only way I had to save her.”

Yale couldn't speak about Alter Yale openly, but both could still be considered the same person, so it wasn't wrong if Yale said that he did it himself.

”I see. No wonder this sword loves you so much. Usually, a human converted into a sword would harbor endless hate for the one who did it unless some special processes were applied, but in a situation like that I can see how she is still grateful to you.”

Hearing the chief's words, Yale felt that the chief had a lot of knowledge about the topic, which gave Yale hopes that he knew a method to revert it.

”You still haven't replied to my second question.”

The chief seemed very interested in who taught Yale how to do that, but Yale didn't know who taught Alter Yale.

”I don't know. It was something I did out of desperation, and I don't remember how I did it. No one taught me.”

The chief looked shocked.

”Very interesting! To think that a mere human would execute the weaponizing curse without being taught. Do you know how many million years I spent developing it? Too many to count them! However, you managed to do it so perfectly with just a bit of inspiration...”

In fact, Alter Yale had learned from that chief when he was looking for ways to punish his enemies. The weaponizing curse wasn't something that the chief taught to others, not even within the tribe, but Alter Yale still managed to convince him.

However, although only the chief in front of Yale could execute the weaponizing curse in that universe, there were more experts capable of doing the same in other universes.

”I came here with hopes to restore this sword to her human self. The soul inside the sword is already completely healed, so there shouldn't be any problem as long as I know the method.”

Yale really hoped that the chief knew about the method to restore Lar.

”I am sorry. It isn't that I don't want to help you, but I developed this as a curse, a method to punish others, so I never tried to develop a method to undo it.”

Yale was disappointed when he heard those words, but the words of the chief made sense.

Seeing Yale's disappointment, the chief spoke again.

”I don't know a method to return her to be a human, but I know a method that would at least make her look like one. However, I must ask you a question first.”

Yale's eyes sparkled when he heard that there was another method. As long as Lar returned to be herself, if she was a human or some other species wasn't something that bothered Yale since he never cared about it.

”Please, ask.

The chief's face turned serious.

”What is your relationship with the human form of this sword? Your lover? Your wife?”

When Yale heard that question, he quickly shook his head.

”No, nothing like that. She did me a favor that I will never be able to repay, which made that we had quite an ambiguous relationship, but she is one of my best friends or like a sister. I know that she had romantic feelings towards me, but I never saw her like that.”

No matter how pitiful he considered that Lar was, Yale couldn't force himself to love her like a lover.
