Chapter 171: Yale’s Prophecy
Yale’s blood reacted at Yale’s enlightenment creating powerful time ripples around his body.
Shirk was unable to perceive those ripples, but he felt that his body was unable to move. However, he was conscious; he felt like if the time had stopped for everything except Yale who started to transform until taking human form.
After the enlightenment, Yale’s bloodline from the Zhan Clan awakened, his change of form was also due to awakening his human bloodline, but to Shirk, it was something different.
Yale’s Frost Winged Wolf bloodline remained active, so for others, both bloodlines appear as if there was only one. Yale needed to suppress one on them willingly to avoid that.
Thus, Shirk felt like if he was seeing the bloodline awakening from a half-beast with a divine beast bloodline or just someone with a divine beat bloodline unleashing the bloodline’s full power. Due to both the divine bloodline from human and divine beast bloodlines being divine bloodlines, it was extremely easy to make a mistake seeing Yale.
As for a wolf-type divine beast with control of time, Shirk didn’t need to think a lot to find one; there were legends about a lot of half-beasts although the only known half-beast with divine bloodline was Anpaes. However, not all of those divine beasts in the legends existed in reality, a lot of them were just created by rumors or derivatives from other divine beasts.
Shirk thought about the Time Freezing Wolf, it was described as a winged wolf with silvery white fur, and the rumors said that it was one of the ancestors of the Frost Winged Wolves; the Time Freezing Wolves were said to be able to control the flow of the time, stopping it for their preys before eating them.
Although it might seem a coincidence, there were too many divine beasts suspected to be ancestors for normal beasts, finding one who suited Yale’s situation was easy. The legends about all the divine beasts had far less credibility than the story of the great war explained by Sebe, but as that was something that the commoners liked, almost everyone believed those legends about divine beasts.
Shirk had always been obsessed to improve his bloodline to turn strong; he was very well versed in divine beasts because he had always admired them and seeing Yale’s transformation was like seeing one of those legends turning true.
Moreover, Yale was an extremely mysterious kid who was able to do things that even people who lived extremely long lives couldn’t do. Thus, Shirk would be more surprised if Yale didn’t have some secret like having a divine beast bloodline.
Yale was clearly abnormal for the age everyone thought he had, but if the fact that he had a divine beast bloodline was included, having abnormalities compared with other half-beasts was normal.
Yale was unaware of the fact the time in the room had stopped due to him or the fact he had changed to his human form; the reason was that the at the same moment the time ripples appeared, he had a vision and was immersed in it.
Yale found himself running for the streets of the capital in the vision, he was in his half-beast adult form, the houses near him were burning, there were a lot of corpses in the surrounding, and sounds of battle could be heard from the palace.
Yale couldn’t understand how the capital of the Anpaes Kingdom reached that state, but there was no doubt that something big happened. He wanted to know where Aiwai and Wyba were, but he was in a vision; he was just looking, so he couldn’t act.
While running, he saw Shirk on his knees; he was easily identifiable from far away due to his looks. Yale changed the direction to go towards him; Shirk was injured, but due to his regenerative capabilities were extremely high, those wounds were nothing for him, his depression didn’t have relation with his own injuries.
“Why? You almost forced me to not work today and relax myself. However, now you are dead, as your guard this is my biggest failure. I should have protected you even if you didn’t want. My power is still lacking, but with my defense and regeneration I could have won some time.”
In the floor, there was a headless corpse with the lacking head being near it, that was Sebe’s head.
Yale couldn’t believe that in his vision Sebe had been killed. Believing that Sebe would be killed inside the capital was difficult, but he had proved that unless he tried to avoid it, his visions turned true at some moment.
Shirk noticed Yale’s presence and turned towards him with teary eyes.
“I am a failure. Although I was able to turn strong thanks to sir Yale, at the crucial moment when my strength could have been useful, I wasn’t there. Sir Yale, can you help prince Sebe?”
In the vision, Yale shook his head while the Yale who was seeing the vision wondered why Sebe used sir when calling his name
“I am sorry, I can’t do nothing for Sebe. He is already dead, and his soul has already left his body.”
Yale turned his back and continued running towards the palace. He was feeling that after reaching the palace, he would understand something more for the situation in the vision, and he was about to reach there as that also seemed his objective inside the vision, but everything finished just before reaching the palace.
Yale found himself back in the room with Shirk, but he still couldn’t control his body or his words.
“Shirk. Someday Sebe will ask you to not work, you will be unable to say no, and you will be forced to rest.”
Shirk didn’t understand why Yale started to speak with a weird tone of voice directly to his mind, but he was still unable to move, so he could only hear.
“That will be the day when a great battle will happen in this city. A battle big enough to implicate the royal family.”
Shirk couldn’t believe that, but at that moment he remembered that the Time Freezing Wolf could freeze the time, so it should be possible to also see the future.
“In that battle, Sebe will die beheaded before you or anyone else could help him.”
After Yale finished the sentence, he recovered the control of his body and the time freezing in the room also stopped.
“Sir Yale, was that was a prophecy? Will such a calamity happen in this city?”
Yale knew that he had spoken too much after starting his enlightenment, but he couldn’t do anything about it.
“Indeed, that will happen if nothing changes.”
Since Shirk had already heard him speaking about the vision, Yale thought that it was better trying to use him to change that future. For Yale being always near Sebe would be impossible and the time for that vision to happen was uncertain, but the fact Sebe wouldn’t have to work due to Sebe’s insistence was an important point to know the day when it would happen.
“Time Freezing Wolves are amazing; Sir Yale can’t just freeze the time, Sir Yale can also see the future. As expected from someone with a divine beast bloodline.”
Yale didn’t understand why Shirk was considering that he had a divine beast bloodline until he noticed that he changed to his real form and that his bloodline from the Zhan Clan had been awakened.
Yale knew that his two bloodlines would be easily mistaken for the Time Freezing Wolf bloodline as long he showed both at the same time. He had studied a lot about wolf-type divine beasts, and he had already chosen the Time Freezing Wolf as a cover in case his human form was discovered.
That was also the first time Shirk called him sir; the reason seemed the fact Yale appeared to be someone with a divine beast bloodline to him.
“Listen Sebe, everything about today must be a secret that you can’t tell to anyone. Especially you can’t tell anything to Sebe or avoiding his death will be difficult.”
Shirk was puzzled; he could understand that Yale wanted to hide his divine beast bloodline, but the prophecy was something very useful to avoid the calamity.
“I know what are you thinking. Listen, now we know that any day Sebe will ask you to rest can be the day of the battle, but if we told everyone about it, it is possible that such battle happened at any other moment and will catch us unprepared. We don’t know the reasons for that battle, so we can only be extremely careful everyday Sebe asked you to rest.”
Shirk was able to understand Yale’s reasons and also understood that himself was too rash wanting to tell the prophecy to others. After all, for a battle that could affect the royalty, it was possible that someone in the royalty was part of the attack.
Shirk knew very well that in the royal family, most of the people weren’t like Sebe, a lot of them longed for the throne with insanity.
