Last Wish System

Chapter 314: Soul Illusion

Julie and the elders looked at the scene dumbfounded; they couldn't believe that everyone turned mad end then died at the same time without any injury.

The elders couldn't explain what they had just seen, but after some seconds Julie turned her gaze towards Yale.

Julie didn't know the method, but she was sure that the strange scene before her eyes had been provoked by Yale. After all, she knew about Yale's secret identity, a reincarnated expert, and the only explanation for such a weird happening was that Yale used some kind of mysterious power to kill all those people without even saying a word.

"Scary."

Julie couldn't avoid thinking that while looking towards Yale because that kind of power was really diabolical, and she couldn't think of any way to defend against such an attack.

Of course, that kind of attacks could only be used on people who were weak and wasn't expecting a mental attack like that, but there was no way that Julie knew that.

Even Yale didn't expect to use such an attack towards that group of people, he was angry and ended up attacking in enlightenment more than by his own will, but he couldn't say that he was unsatisfied with the results.

Moreover, a new Law Skill appeared on the system after the enlightenment ended and he obtained the notification about the increase of his comprehension of the Death Law.

"Soul Illusion: Forces the souls of the targets to sink in a dreamlike illusion making it difficult to distinguish between truth and illusion. Death in the illusion also means the death of their true bodies. This attack can affect multiple targets as long they weren't too far from the user. The targets must be weaker than the user, and they shouldn't be ready to face an attack on the soul. The attack will fail against any reincarnated expert who has a stable soul due to the natural soul strength of reincarnated experts. Can be used controlling the Death Law. Minimum requirement 1% comprehension."

Yale was excited while reading the description of the skill. Although illusions weren't exclusive to the Death Law, the illusions created with that Law were the deadliest.

Moreover, he always wanted to learn a good illusion skill since he knew that he had talent on them thanks to his Illusion Immunity. However, he never found any illusion skill that seemed worthy of learning. After all, the easiest method to dispel an illusion was knowing how it worked, so the truly valuable illusions were treasured, and no one wanted to share with others.

Thus, the quality of illusion skills that Yale had seen until the day in books were all mediocre, and he didn't even bother to try to learn them.

However, Soul Illusion was even better than what he was expecting for an illusion skill, the possibility of turning true the death inside the illusion was something scary.

Of course, the contents of the illusion were decided by Yale; there was no need that the target dies in the illusion. That group died because Yale had in his mind methods for them to die.

However, it was easy killing someone who fell into an illusion, so killing them with the illusion was just cleaner than killing them with his own hands once they fell into the illusion; Yale had already experienced it years ago in the Clan Gathering. If it weren't because he blocked the incoming attack, Ange would have died without anyone capable of preventing it.

Yale knew that using Soul Illusion wouldn't be as easy as it had been when he entered into enlightenment since his comprehension barely reached the minimum, but that skill was also extremely useful to interrogate small fries without killing them with Soul Search.

After all, if someone falls into a Soul Illusion thinking that was in front of his most trusted person, it was just a matter of time that the person exposed all the secrets willingly.

The only bad point is that it wouldn't work with extremely skeptical people who never trust others completely.

While Yale was pondering about his newly acquired Law Skill, the elders in the port were looking at him with dumbfounded faces. They noticed that Julie was looking towards him and that Yale's face didn't reflect any shock, which quickly led them to understand that the one who provoked that scene was the young man that seemed to be at the Elder Rank at first sight.

"Maybe… he isn't at the Elder Rank, but at the Grandmaster Rank or even the Sage Rank."

One of the elders said that in a low voice and other nodded because it wouldn't be difficult for someone at those levels to fake his outer strength to fool others.

Their doubts about Yale's level weren't unfounded because the only reason they could think was that Yale used some kind of Law and it was publicly known that Laws could only be trained after reaching the Grandmaster Rank.

Moreover, none of those elders had a deep understanding of the Laws more than having heard of them because none of them had reached the Grandmaster Rank.

"That kid is a monster."

Another elderly man appeared behind the elders; no one had noticed about his presence until he spoke. That man was a Grandmaster Rank expert sent out by Tar to look after Yale in case he had some problems in Trade City.

That elderly man thought that Tar had Yale in such a high standing because he was one of the owners of the Thousand Frost Wolves Company and he had an astonishing talent in battle.

However, after seeing how Yale dealt with that angry group of people, the elderly man was without words.

That elderly man had luck exploring some ancient ruins and obtained a bit of insight regarding the Death Law before reaching the Grandmaster Rank, so he knew that it was possible with a good stroke of luck.

However, he also knew the limits of the laws in low levels; although it was possible to have some insight, it was impossible to reach any threshold, but the law ripples emanated from Yale indicated that his comprehension of the Death law surpassed that of the elderly man who was near to reach the first threshold of the Death Law.

Therefore, the elderly man was sure that Yale had reached that threshold and thus it was impossible that he was just at the Elder Rank, he was guessing that Yale was at the Sage Rank because reaching the threshold at the Grandmaster Rank was still extremely difficult.

The elderly man planned to help Yale if that group of people really attacked him because those were Tar's orders, but he thought that Tar was exaggerating treating so well a young man like Yale.

However, he finally understood, that Tar wasn't treating him in that way because of his potential but because Yale was someone of his same Rank and it would be bad for the city if he got angry because some fools were disrespectful with him

"If that kid wants, no one in the Zuatania Republic will be able to stop him."

Since the elderly man thought that Yale was at the same Rank that Tar, and since Tar had a high impression of him, even if Yale turned crazy it wasn't likely that Tar wouldn't want to be in bad terms with him, so Yale was someone that no one must offend.

The elders were dumbfounded hearing the elderly man who spoke to himself, but they nodded their heads since they didn't dare to doubt about the words of that elderly man even though he said them without thinking; especially since the scene that they had just seen was shocking enough to prove it.

Of course, what that elderly man didn't know was that thanks to the Last Wish System and the Condensed Death Essence fused with Yale's body, that limitation of the threshold didn't exist for Yale like for other people, he still had some limit, but it wasn't as restricted as others.

There was a cloaked person who saw the scene from the shadows and was utterly shocked.

That person was Oscro who went to the port to follow Julie's orders; the cloak was just to hide his swollen face.

"I was feeling that he beat me so hard while restraining himself a bit, but it seems that just vent his anger casually at that moment."

The fate of those men was struck deeply on Oscro's mind, and he decided to never anger Yale again; a beating was still good but turning crazy and dying as those men died was something that Oscro didn't want to experience.

Yale stepped ahead and created a Water Ball on his hand. There wasn't anything strange in that water, but a second later the originally crystalline water started to acquire a greenish color before Yale tossed it out to the corpses in front of him, provoking that they instantly dissolved.

However, only the organic parts dissolved, Storage Artifacts and metallic accessories remained. After that Yale waved his hand and collected all the remaining objects.

"The user successfully created [Dissolving Poison]"

"The user obtained the Passive Skill [Alchemy Mastery: Apprentice Level 1]."

"The user upgraded the Passive Skill [Alchemy Mastery] to Apprentice Level 2."

"The user upgraded the Passive Skill [Alchemy Mastery] to Apprentice Level 3."

The system notifications continued, and alchemy continued rising up surpassing stages until stopping at the grandmaster stage.

"The user upgraded the Passive Skill [Alchemy Mastery] to Grandmaster Level 1."

Yale didn't expect that he would obtain that much mastery in Alchemy by just synthesizing a poison causally, but it wasn't as simple a Yale thought. He synthesized a poison with a bit of Law infused on it, and that was the condition to advance from the master stage to the grandmaster stage in alchemy.

It was the first time that Yale did some alchemy, but the feat of infusing a law into the poison was enough to let him skip some stages. In fact, it was pretty normal that when a Law Master started practicing something like Alchemy or Forging, they directly reach the sage stage after their first try.

"Alchemy Mastery: Grandmaster Level 1. Increase the chances of successfully synthesizing a poison or medicine of high quality. It is possible to add additional effects and Laws. The skill can be leveled up by practicing alchemy."

Yale smiled, and all his bad mood disappeared; he obtained a lot of benefits in a short time making him forget about everything else that had happened.

Of course, for the others seeing him brightly smiling after his actions made them thought that Yale was far too dangerous and mustn't be offended.
