Chapter 61

Even if Kermu didn’t say anything to the others, he continued thinking about the topic.

He discovered that there were many reasons someone would want to help Yale by approaching him to Serka and thus to the Zhan Clan’s faction who supported his mother.

The time-based skill Yale had used before wasn’t worse than his own space-based technique, any ancestor from the Zhan Clan would be interested in him.

Other clans would also want to help him even if it was only to do a favor to the Zhan Clan. As the Zhan Clan had the best healers of the empire, doing favors to them was always good, and the other clans wouldn’t let such opportunity pass if they were the first ones in discovering that Yale belonged to the Zhan Clan.

After all, Time Healing could save anyone’s life as long as that person wasn’t dead, and the Zhan Clan had a monopoly of Time Healing.

Any Zhan Clan’s descendant who managed to use Time Healing would belong only to the Zhan Clan, no matter where that person other parent belonged to.

That was also similar to the other clan’s bloodline skills, no one of them wanted their own secret skills to be spread.

Thus, all of them agreed to hand over the kids who awakened other clan’s skill to the clan that skill belonged. There were a lot of marriages between the clans, so that wasn’t strange and happened a lot.

However, a kid who inherited two skills from different bloodlines never appeared in the empire or at least no one knew anything about such lucky person.

The secrecy about the bloodline skills was one of the reasons some members of the Zhan Clan were enraged with Yale’s mother, as she was a genius, her descendants would have a lot of possibilities of awakening Time Healing.

Fortunately for Yale, there were only a few people in the clan who knew where Yale’s mother went and those were all people who supported her, so they had no chance to act against her and her descendants.

The chances of the incantation being from one of the clans were big, and that would be logical, but he didn’t want to discard the possibility that the incantation was from someone who owed a favor to Yale’s mother or an expert that had taken a liking to Yale without having any relation to him.

That incantation could also be a random powerhouse that wanted to build a good relationship with the noble clans.

Kermu could think about a lot of possibilities, and he had no way to know what was the correct one, but he had already discarded any thoughts of a coincidence or a fated meeting, that meeting between cousins was obviously planned by someone else.

While Kermu was thinking about that, Yale went to Wyba’s side and seated.

He wanted to check the system as he noticed that there were some notifications while he was unconscious.

“The user is surrounded by blood from a beast; the system forced user’s body to absorb it to improve the [5-star Frost Wolf Bloodline: Complete] to [6-star Frost Winged Wolf Bloodline: Complete].”

“Due to the blood’s absorption, the user’s [Wind Elemental Affinity: Mid-low grade] upgraded to [Wind Elemental Affinity: High grade].”

“Blood absorption increase the Vitality to 26.”

“Blood absorption increase the Strength to 28.”

“Blood absorption increases the Agility to 30.”

“Blood absorption increases the Dexterity to 27.”

“A Legacy had been found hidden within the bloodline. The user learned the Magic Skill [Wind Wings].”

Yale didn’t expect that the blood of the big eagle would have such effects on him, increasing one star the bloodline quality was already a lot, but even the species had varied, he didn’t know about any monster called Frost Winged Wolf, so it should be a rare one.

His wind affinity also increased, that made sense as the eagle’s main element was wind, but upgrading from mid-low grade to the high grade was too much increase.

Furthermore, his stats increased a lot, his agility even directly maxed due to the blood effects.

However, the most shocking was the legacy that was hidden inside the blood, the guess that the forest area legacy was inside the beast’s bloodline wasn’t wrong after all.

“Wind Wings Level 1: Creates magic wings that give the capacity to fly. Wind Element. It requires 5 Origin Points for every minute. Mastery at level 10.”

The spell wasn’t bad, with that consumption rate Yale wouldn’t be able to fly a lot but to fly briefly in battle was enough.

After checking the system, Yale went to talk with his companions.

“We were right! The true legacies of this area are hidden within the bodies of the powerful monsters. Inside the eagle’s blood, there is a legacy.”

In fact, the bloodlines were the true legacy, even if the special realm restricted those monsters, their species were extremely powerful, finding any of those at such low rank in the outside world would be impossible.

That was the reason Yale improved that much after fusing it with his own bloodline.

“Are you serious?”

After Kermu heard Yale’s words, he extracted some bottles with the eagle’s blood from his spatial artifact.

When they saw how Yale used that blood to heal Wyba, they thought that conserving it would be useful in the future, so Kermu stored it in bottles inside his spatial artifact.

“Yes, this is the legacy spell.”

As Yale said that sentence, he used the spell, and two translucent wings appeared in his back.

He flew a bit before going back to the floor, he wasn’t used to flying, so his moves were weird, but he was flying, and usually, that would be impossible in Yale’s realm.

As the others saw it, they started to use their energy on the blood to find and learn the legacy.

They started to learn it as they did on the wall because they didn’t absorb it and fused with their bodies they didn’t obtain the legacy directly like Yale.

Because Yale had used that blood too skillfully before, the nobles found normal that he picked some clues about the blood before anyone else.

Kermu needed only two hours before grasping the spell, learning from blood was more difficult than learning from the wall, so his time was excellent. Kermu had a perfect affinity to wind, so the Wind Wings Magic Skill was a spell that suited him a lot.

Nurvey and Serka needed a day to learn it.

Hyrk was the slowest again; he needed two days to learn the spell. He was having bad luck as the two legacies they found weren’t well suited to him.

However, the group remained in the eagle’s nest area for five more days practicing the Wind Wings until Wyba finally awakened.

She still looked the same as before, but she had advanced to the 3-star mortal realm, and Yale guessed that her species should also have changed like his own bloodline.

Wyba had reached the same rank as her mother while being only a cub; her future possibilities were far higher than should have been without leaving the Beast Trial with Yale.

Wyba remained in Yale’s arms even if Nurvey wanted to hug her. She understood that Wyba wanted to be with Yale after recovering from her injuries. Furthermore, she felt guilty for failing in protecting her before.

“Now that Wyba has awakened we should decide what to do now. The first option is to look for another 6-star monster to try to find hidden bloodline legacies. The other one is to leave the area and go to another zone. Personally, I vote for the second option, battling with a 6-star monster is too dangerous, we shouldn’t be greedy.”

Even if beating such opponent wasn’t impossible, there were too many variables, the previous battle was a difficult one, and Kermu didn’t feel confident in that everyone would survive to another fight of that type.

“I am with Kermu, better if we change the zone, battling 6-star monsters is too dangerous, and we don’t know if all the 6-star monsters had legacies in their blood.”

After Wyba almost died, Yale didn’t want to take unnecessary risks, their group had a lot of chances of survival against common traps, and they could still find more legacies in the other areas.

Nurvey didn’t talk, but she nodded at Yale’s words.

“As a healer, I am also against continue battling in this area, I don’t feel confident in being able to save everyone’s lives, and we have already obtained one legacy here.”

Hyrk was the only one who didn’t know what to say because until that moment he didn’t find any legacy that suited him. Probably some beast in the forest could have one, but he didn’t want to put everyone in danger because of his greediness.

“I really want to find a suitable legacy for me, but I think we should leave the zone, being here won’t ensure that I find it anyway.”

Hyrk finally chose the group’s security instead of his personal aspirations; he also understood that a 6-star monster wasn’t a joke.
