Last Wish System

“Are you sure?”

Swordmad looked at Yale with worry in his face. Some days had passed since Yale developed Water Control and at that moment Yale had just expressed his intention of exploring the ocean in front of the others.

Anyone with high power could remain some time without breathing, so diving in the ocean wasn’t a big deal, but in case of battle, the resistance without breathing would diminish a lot. Moreover, the battle prowess would usually be far inferior due to the difference of environment.

Of course, that didn’t apply to Yale who could breathe under the water, and his battle prowess in that environment was even stronger than outside thanks to Water Control.

However, since he was the only one who could be in such conditions after diving, Yale rejected any help because others would just be a burden.

“I am sure; this is one of the reasons for this travel. You already saw my control over the water; this doesn’t have any threat to me.”

Almost everyone was shocked when Yale originally told that he wanted to dive into the ocean alone, but they were aware that doing that with that control over water wasn’t too dangerous. Thus, Swordmad as Yale’s master was the only one who dared to question Yale’s decision, but because someone needed to say something; Swordmad knew that Yale wasn’t reckless.

“Very well, but will you be able to find this ship afterward?”

The ocean was huge, and even if they stopped the ship, the ship would still move from the original position.

“Maybe, but I don’t dare to take the risk, I will put the whole ship in my dimension while I am under the ocean.”

Yale had detected someone who seemed to be from the Sea Race or at least it was some intelligent being living under the sea. Thus, he didn’t want to waste that chance, but he didn’t know if he would be able to return quickly or not and getting separated from the others for such reason wouldn’t be good.

“Understood. Anyone have any problem with Yale’s decision?”

After Swordsman asked that no one complained about it, after all, Yale was the one who wanted to travel, and the others just wanted to follow him, so it would be too selfish forbidding Yale from moving freely.

“Alright, let’s not waste more time.”

Yale didn’t want to lose the trace he had found, so he quickly put the whole ship inside the Storage Space.

Fortunately, since Yale’s understanding of the Water Law increased, he had infused a bit of it on the Storage Space creating a small lake in the area that Liye prepared for Kermu’s group to live before the Origin Link ended.

The size of the lake was the same as the size of the ship, to let the ship remain in water even after leaving the ocean; that was something prepared just for that kind of situation.

After Yale was left alone in the sky, he dived into the ocean without losing time and then activated Water Control to ensure his safety.

“This is quite beautiful.”

Yale never expected that diving into the ocean would be like that, but his target wasn’t sightseeing, so he continued diving towards where that sentient lifeform was detected.

“I wonder how that Sea Race would be.”

Yale had read too many books, and he had read about many variants of species living in the sea, but he was sure that most of the writers had never met any and the content wasn’t trustful.

Finding that intelligent lifeform under the ocean wasn’t easy, Yale wasn’t only diving down he was also moving in the same direction as that life form because it seemed to be rushing to somewhere.

Although Yale still didn’t know what kind of being, he was following, it was sure that the speed of the other party under the water was quite high despite being far weaker than Yale.

“At this pace, I will need days to catch it…”

Yale was quite depressed for the high speed of the other party. Although that speed was inferior to Yale’s speed, there wasn’t too much difference making that catching the other party would be difficult.

While he was thinking about that, Yale detected another lifeform that seemed sentient surrounded by some sea monsters.

Under the ocean, the Spiritual Sense didn’t work as well as in the outside, so Yale was unable to obtain detailed information of the targets from a long distance.

However, Yale was sure that the one he was following was rushing in the direction of the one that was surrounded.

“I was already feeling strange that someone was rushing so much, so it was for rescue someone else.”

At that moment Yale’s good impression of that lifeform increased even though he didn’t even know how the other party looked. However, for Yale, someone that rush in that way to save others was worthy of respect.

Just as Yale guessed, the one he was following reached the place where the monsters were surrounding the other one, and it seemed to begin a battle with them.

Yale was noticing that with his Spiritual Sense, but he was still far from them; he had already decided that if he reached that place in time, he would help those two in the battle.

After all, those monsters were nothing to him, and he would obtain a good impression from those two if he helped them. Of course, the main reason was that he felt that the one who rushed to help the other deserved some help for his courage.

Yale was nearing the place, and his Spiritual Sense started to detect the Spiritual Sense conversations of those two.

“Big brother, run! You can’t beat them. I am already doomed, forget about me and live!”

That voice sounded cute but desperate.

“I would rather die protecting you than live with the guilt of having abandoned you.”

The other voice was from a male, but it was quite weak as if it was on the verge of dying.

The battle hadn’t lasted too long, but it was clear that there was a difference in power that was unsurpassable by the owner of that male voice.

“Please, run. I don’t want my big brother to die for nothing. Once they broke this barrier, I will die, and no one will be able to save me.”

The situation was extremely dire when Yale finally saw them through Spiritual Sense as he had neared enough.

He was a little disappointed with their looks as they looked like a classic mermaid and merman, he expected something more interesting especially since when the big brother was battling, he seemed to notice that his shape was different having a more muscular body and feet. However, he could only think that he had seen it wrong or was some kind of special skill.

“Never! You came here to look for a medicine for my illness, how can I let you die here! In any case, if someone needs to die that should be me!”

The merman said that, but his body was bit again by the monsters and that time they eat a big part of his tail making him sink.

“Big brother!”

The small mermaid was worried, but at that moment the barrier broke, and the monsters rushed towards her.

However, those monsters stopped on the spot as their surroundings were covered by ice.

“The whole area was frozen; how can this be…”

The small mermaid was shocked by the situation, but her life had been saved.

“Big brother!”

She stopped thinking about that and swam towards where her big brother had fallen. Then, she started to heal him with Water Healing, which was quite surprising due how young looked that girl.

“Don’t waste your energy, you can’t heal my wounds, I am already doomed, but I am glad that you are alive.”

The big brother didn’t seem to regret his actions as long as that little mermaid was safe.

“But, but…”

The small mermaid didn’t know what to say, but she knew that her brother was telling the truth and her skills were too lacking.

“I am sorry for hearing your private conversation, but I can heal you.”

At that moment, a human man appeared before the two of them. They had never seen a human before but had read about them in books.

“Why a foreigner wants to help us?”

The small mermaid didn’t trust the man who appeared in front of them.

“Thank you, sir, for saving my little sister.”

The wounded merman said that shocking his little sister; his little sister was too young to think clearly in such situation, but for the merman, it was clear that the only one who could have saved his little sister before was that man in front of them.

“It is as your brother says. My name is Yale, and I am the one who has just saved you. Sorry, I was too late to do it before, but I can heal your big brother.”

The little mermaid understood about that after hearing her big brother, but she still distrusted Yale.

“Why did you help us?”

Yale didn’t know why that little mermaid had such a great lack of trust but thinking that he was the first human that appeared before that mermaid’s eyes, he wasn’t angry at all.

“I also have a little sister, and the way your brother rushed to save you obtained my admiration, so I decided to follow him and help.”
