545 Yale and Lar VS Awa (1/2)

Yale attacked immediately once the chief spoke.

Awat was someone that he couldn't beat, but if he didn't take the initiative, it wouldn't even be a battle despite Awat restraining himself.

Lar's Sword was swung towards Awat, but the later stopped it with his own sword, which was a part of his own body.

Expert weapon spirits could materialize a replica of their true form while being in human form, but Awat had a true form that could take the form of any weapon, so everything he created wasn't a replica but completely original.

He could be in human form and weapon form simultaneously, which was something that not even the chief could do.

At the third clash of weapon, Yale felt that Awat was a liar because he wasn't adjusting his power to be at the same level as Yale, he was always a step ahead.

Awat didn't like to lose even if it was because he was restraining himself, so he did it to ensure that nothing unexpected would happen.

He was a weapon spirit, but he still had his pride when it came to battle against others like any other expert who liked battling.

However, that didn't change that Awat was going easy on Yale because he had reached the Minor God threshold in swordsmanship long ago, which was still far ahead of Yale.

Weapon spirits couldn't advance to Minor God without a proper master to aid them, so even though the chief and Awat would have advanced long ago if they were humans, they were still stuck at the ninth level immortal.

On the other hand, that let them a lot of time to train, so they had reached the Minor God threshold with a lot of weapons and elements.

In fact, rumored in the tribe said that the chief even managed to reach God's threshold instead of just Minor God threshold, but the chief never spoke about that topic.

Although reaching thresholds superior to one's level was far more difficult, it wasn't impossible, and some old experts that hadn't advanced due to different matters had accomplished it.

Tofesh's grandfather was one of them. He had been restraining himself until his family and country were strong enough without him before he decided to try to advance to Minor God. Thus, he had a lot of time to reach God's threshold on his favorite element, but others would prefer to advance to Minor God first since it would make reaching the thresholds far easier.

In Yale's case, ice was the only thing that was useful for the battle that had reached the Minor God threshold. His swordsmanship could be considered to be extremely good compared to others, but he hadn't even reached the bottleneck before the Minor God threshold yet.

The same applied to Yale's control of time, it hadn't reached the bottleneck before the threshold, and when he tried to use it in battle was also perfectly countered by Awat, but what Yale didn't know was that Awat was at the same level on his control of time, so he wasn't restraining himself at all in that aspect.

It wasn't that Awat didn't have talent or that he didn't focus on controlling the time, it was just the opposite, it was the one he focused the most, and he was very talented, but time was special because on the whole multiverse no one even survived to the breakthrough to the Minor God threshold and very few reached the bottleneck.

Although most people would think that the level of Yale and Awat's time control was already just before the threshold, that was just because they never experienced the true bottleneck. Reaching that bottleneck from the point Yale was at that moment was indeed very difficult, but it couldn't be called a bottleneck when comparing it to reaching the Minor God threshold.

Awat's master was one of the few who reached that bottleneck, so Awat himself had more knowledge about it than most people of the world.

In fact, the master of the chief was the same, and the chief himself was at the same level as Awat regarding the control of time.

Their masters were both people that Great God Kroh had been watching a long time before Great God Kroh discovered Alrein.

Great God Kroh had a control over the time far superior to the Minor God threshold from the start, so it hadn't faced the bottleneck.

Thus, that bottleneck was tagged as impossible to surpass even for Great Gods, but Great God Kroh didn't believe it and thus tried to find people capable of overcoming it.

However, of all the compatible people he found, no one managed to advance, but he had high hoped on Yale and Alrein.
