Chapter 210: Sword Bloodline's Two Methods

Yale didn't return to his house; he changed his appearance and left Sword City to be alone some time for thinking about the two options he had to obtain the Sword Bloodline.

Although Yale wasn't a saint, he wasn't a wicked person either, so he was hesitating about those methods.

The evil method was the one which would benefit him the fastest, but he was really reluctant to do it because of the fact that method as against his morals.

The method was quite simple and vicious; he needed to kill members of the Larken Clan with the Sword Bloodline and use Bloodline Manipulation to extract the bloodline and refine it to create his own, the better quality those members had, the quicker he would obtain it. In fact, by killing Lar and absorbing her bloodline, he would obtain the Sword Bloodline immediately.

However, that option was directly discarded, he pondered about absorbing the bloodline of other members of the Larken Clan or not, but he didn't plan to harm Lar even if that benefited him a lot.

Besides Lar, Yale the only member of the Larken Clan who Yale knew was Durgan; he really didn't care about others as he didn't know them. However, those were still his past' life descendants, and there was no grudge between them and Yale, so it wasn't easy for Yale to decide to massacre them to obtain the Sword Bloodline.

One of the reasons he wanted to think with calm outside Sword City was to avoid the temptation of explaining those two options to Lar because he knew that she would at least offer him the rest of the clan as offerings in order to increase Yale's strength. He even feared that due Lar's crazy love, she would sacrifice herself to help Yale, and that was something Yale didn't want.

The other option seemed way better to Yale, but he knew that would be somewhat slow. Usually meeting the conditions for that method would be difficult, but for Yale that was easy, the only thing which made him doubt was the time he would need because that would also mean needing more time to meet Aiwai again.

The slow method required the collaboration of someone with a perfect Sword Bloodline. That person would need to activate the bloodline at full strength and battle against Yale while he observed how the bloodline acts through Bloodline Manipulation. That should be repeated a lot of times.

The method said that by doing that, Yale would know how to recreate the bloodline by himself, but he was a bit skeptical about that; he couldn't even imagine how to do it. Of course, trying the method would be easy because Lar would be extremely happy about helping him with it.

"I will try the second method. If it really works, there would be no need to kill anyone. However, if someone of the Larken Clan dares to attack me for any reason, I don't mind changing my opinion."

Both methods weren't incompatible, and it was possible to use both of them combined. However, Yale finally chose to use the slow method unless the Larken Clan gave him reasons to attack them.

Besides the moral part of killing innocent people, which Yale already didn't like, the Larken Clan was a noble clan with a lot of influence and power, so Yale didn't want to anger them without a good reason.

Of course, if he hadn't had another way to obtain the Sword Bloodline, he would have needed to offend them because the five legacy bloodlines were a must to him.

"I shall go back now. I will just ask Lar to help me with the second method. As for the existence of the other one, I will just hide it; I don't want her to harm herself or others to help me with that."

Yale hadn't gone too far from the city; he just needed a bit of calm to think about the options he had before being influenced by others.

After returning to his house, he found that Wyba and Lar were waiting him annoyed by his sudden disappearance after the battle. Yale knew very well that those two wouldn't let him think with calm if he had stayed, so he didn't mind about their opinion.

"Liye, why are you disappearing without saying anything? Do you have some affair with another girl?"

Wyba was mostly worried about Yale's safety after learning that he left the arena and didn't return; Wyba had been alone in the house while Yale battled, so she learned about his disappearance thanks to Lar. However, Lar's biggest fear was that Yale found a lover and would abandon her; Lar didn't worry too much by Yale's security because she had complete faith on Yale's strength.

"I am not with any girl, nor I need to tell you where I go or not go. Anyway, Lar I need to talk to you in private, come with me."

Yale had already got used to Lar, she was a bit too possessive, but she was always ready to do anything for Yale.

Once both were alone, Yale explained to Lar the slow method for obtaining the Sword Bloodline and asked for her help.

"I love sparring against you, so I have no problem with that. In fact, that means we will spend more time together and battle more, so I would like to do it even if you don't need it. However, do you have any other method? Even I can understand that this method won't be quick. If there is another method to help you recover your previous strength tell it to me, I will do anything to help you."

Lar wasn't a fool, and she doubted that Yale only had that method to obtain the Sword Bloodline. The existence of someone with a perfect Sword Bloodline like her wasn't easy to exist at the same time as Yale just needed it and there were even fewer chances that such person would be glad to help him with it. Thus, it was easier to believe that he had another method and not that he would wait an indefinite time to that coincidence to happen. After all, she knew Liye's personality, and he wasn't someone who liked to rely on luck in his plans.

"I only remember this method right now, so this will be the method I will use to obtain the Sword Bloodline. No need to bother about if other methods exist or not."

Just as Yale feared, Lar was capable of disregard everything for him. Although Yale was grateful that Lar wanted to help him, she didn't have any limits as long as that would help Yale. If Yale had told her that she needed to die to help him to obtain the Sword Bloodline, she would have agreed without hesitating. After all, she just needed to die with the Space-time Judgment Sword, and she would be reincarnated; due to her current soul having no damage it would be far easier than before.

Of course, she didn't want to die as that would be troublesome anyway, but for Yale, she didn't mind sacrificing her current life.

"Alright, but if you remember anything else you need to tell me. No matter what you need, I will help you."

Yale could only feel guilty hearing those devoted words from Lar because he didn't love her as she loved him. Even with Lar knowing that Yale didn't feel like her, she was still willing to do anything for him.

"Let's stop the chitchat and start the training. First, activate your Sword Bloodline at its max power."

Lar nodded and activated her bloodline; while she was in that state, all her swordsmanship would be improved. She usually didn't do it because doing it for too long was tiresome for her little body; the power of the Sword Bloodline wasn't something easy to endure for a long time for someone at the Novice Rank.

Yale activated Bloodline Manipulation and started to sense Lar's Sword Bloodline; he felt that there was something familiar in it.

In fact, although Yale wasn't manipulating Lar's bloodline and only using it to sense it, in that state he was able to do manipulate it freely, so he could just kill Lar extracting all the bloodline from her body without her being able to resist. Letting him use Bloodline Manipulation on her was like giving Yale full control of her bloodline, once he started, there was no way to stop him without an overwhelming difference of power.

Of course, to start using Bloodline Manipulation, the other party must agree or be weak enough not to resist; even someone at the Mortal Rank would be able to withstand as long didn't fell unconscious. After all, that was a system function and not a real skill; it existed to help Yale to obtain the legacy bloodlines, not to battle.

"So, this is the reason I felt something familiar. Now I understand how to use this method."

After sensing Lar's Sword Bloodline for a bit, Yale smiled as he understood how to use the method properly to recreate the Sword Bloodline.
