Chapter 403 Wanting to Improve a Masterpiece

"It is our pleasure to meet Julie's partner."

The Law Master bowed to Yale and Lina while saying that, but he felt cold sweat after noticing Lina's gaze.

"Of course, I mean business partner."

No one in the resistance understood the reason for that clarification since it seemed obvious, but the Law Master sighed in relief as Lina stopped looking at him with that icy gaze.

"Let's skip formalities. Too bothersome."

Yale said that with a lazy tone since he just wanted to go to the main point. Usually, that would be considered a huge disrespect, but no one dared to point out that fact.

"The Dwarf King kidnapped my friends, so he will die soon, that is a fixed fate, and I hope that no one is against that because I don't have any problem with wiping out the whole city or even the whole kingdom."

All the members of the resistance broke in a cold sweat when hearing Yale's words, and they were grateful that all of them wanted the king dead, so there was no reason to oppose Yale.

Most of them doubted if Yale was strong enough to do as he said, but at least the Law Master felt thanks to Lina's gaze that she was far stronger than the king, so he didn't have any doubts about the capability of those two to put an end to their kingdom.

"No one plans to oppose me, great, but why doubting about me so much? Why you don't believe that I have the strength to back up my words?"

Yale took out his Space-time Judgement Sword after saying those words, which scared everyone to death, but they didn't dare to oppose any resistance as they knew that would only worsen the situation.

"That sword... it can't be..."

While the others were fearing Yale's actions, the Law Master was shocked after seeing that sword. He had never seen it before, but he heard about it enough to immediately discover Yale's identity.

The Law Master immediately fell to his knees and put his head on the floor.

"I apologize for our incompetence in recognizing your noble identity. I beg for your forgiveness."

Before, the Law Master felt that Yale was unfathomable, but after discovering his identity, he felt utmost respect for him.

However, the Law Master saw that the other members of the resistance didn't understand the situation at all.

"You all! Stop acting like fools and show your respects! Yale is the absolute ruler of the eastern continent and the son of the entity that created our world!"

They had all heard legends about the ruler of the eastern continent, but few knew that he was also the son of the one who created the world. Anyway, just by being the ruler of the eastern continent was enough to make everyone drop on their knees.

They would have never guessed that the mysterious man in front of them was a legendary expert who all the western continent feared.

Moreover, in the past, he had truly wiped out the leaders of all of those who opposed to him leading all those countries to fall until all the species disappeared or turned into a species rejected by the rest.

However, at that moment, it had been their king who had the guts to kidnap people related to such a fearsome legendary expert, so it wouldn't be strange if the whole Dwarf Kingdom disappeared and was absorbed by other powers.

Those who weren't dwarves didn't fear the situation, but the dwarves in the resistance feared what could happen to them if Yale was angered and decided to do more than just killing the king.

"Enough! As long no one else offended me, I don't plan to harm this kingdom after dealing with the king and rescuing my friends. Moreover, I don't need any help to do it. The reason I am here is for something else, telling you about my plans is just a bonus."

Yale truly didn't want to see everyone kneeling in front of him since he didn't like formalities like that. As long they didn't offend him everything would be alright, there was no need of worshipping him so much, but for others, it was difficult to avoid acting like that after knowing Yale's identity.

"Maybe you were looking for me?"

The Law Master asked as he felt that there was only one reason for the ruler of the eastern continent wanting to meet their group if it wasn't for using them to end the king or rescuing people.

"Indeed. You were the most talented disciple of Tofesh back then, and you are even better than him right now. I never met you before, but I feel that you are pretty good for having Tofesh praising you so much."

Tofesh had a great problem while practicing and never became a Law Master, which provoked his death due to the end of his lifespan. However, Yale's sword was his greatest work and surpassed by far any other weapon crafted by Tofesh, to the point that even Lina who mastered the Smith Law was unable to tell Yale how to improve it.

However, Yale felt that the Space-time Judgement Sword was far too weak after it broke in the battle against Lina. The sword was still in a perfect state because the effects of that battle were nullified, but Yale felt that the sword would end breaking in the future if he didn't improve it.

It was already a feat that a sword made by someone who wasn't even a Law Master on the Smith Law reached such a high level, but for a battle at an Essence God level it was clearly lacking.

Tofesh's favorite disciple wasn't better than Lina in the Smith Law, but since he focused on it and learned from Tofesh, Yale felt that maybe he could have an idea of how to improve it.

"That sword is my master's masterpiece. Probably, you want to improve it, but I need to apologize in advance because I have no confidence at all in improving it. Although my master was weaker than me when he crafted it, sometimes masterpieces far surpass one's level, and your sword is a clear case of that. I think that unless my master himself resurrected and became a Law Master, no Law Master could improve it, and I have the feeling that even a Law God will fail."

Besides the original creator, it would be difficult improving a masterpiece of a different crafter without a huge difference on talent, and although he knew that he had surpassed his master, the difference wasn't that much.

In fact, by crafting a masterpiece like Yale's sword, it should have been enough for a normal person to break through to a Law God in the Smith Law directly, but sadly, Tofesh had some problems that he never told to others that prevented him from advancing normally.

Tofesh always told that was a problem of talent and even Yale didn't know the truth behind it, but he knew that Tofesh was lying bluntly. However, Yale's past life always respected Tofesh's privacy, and since Tofesh hadn't spoken until his death, that matter remained a secret forever.

It was still a secret, but after Yale returned from the Timeless Border, he had a rough guess about the truth behind Tofesh's problems.

"I guessed that this was the case, but in your heart, you feel that maybe the first prince who is still in prison will be able to do it, right?"

Everyone already assumed that Yale could read their minds, and indeed, their mind was like an open book, and being nervous in front of Yale just made it easier for him.

"That is right. He is better than me, and I taught him in the same way that my master taught me, so maybe he can do it."

The first prince was recognized as the best blacksmith of the kingdom before he was accused of killing his father and sent to prison.

"Then after rescuing him, I will ask if he can help me to improve this sword."

Yale stored his sword and decided to leave.

"Lina, you will be in charge of rescuing everyone while I deal with the king personally."

The restrictions of the prison were just to block Laws, so Lina could save them without problems. Moreover, since she had a world far bigger than the Storage Space, it was a better place to put everyone as it would be bothersome leaving with a huge volume of people.

"Understood, darling."

Yale still felt weird when Lina called him like that, but he needed to endure is as part of a plan devised by the two of them to solve their respective problems.

Since both of them had experience in being swarmed by members of the opposite sex, they decided to fake a relationship in front of others.

That was Lina's idea after she learned about Yale's worries about what to do after rescuing some of his female friends who were clearly interested in him romantically.

Since even Yale's father mistook them for a couple, they decided to use that in their favor to avoid others pestering them instead of clarifying that there just friends each time someone had that misunderstanding.

As for how Lina called Yale, that was just her revenge for how much fun Yale had by teasing her previously since Yale felt quite weird when hearing her saying that word.

She was embarrassed when saying it, but she was good at hiding it.
