No one expected that Yale would offer himself for that unfair battle.

After all, despite his identity as a reincarnated expert, Yale’s current power was still at the Expert Rank, and the opponents had some people at the Veteran Rank and a lot of them at the Expert Rank.

Krienek had sensed the Death Law ripple around Yale, but he considered that Yale had emanated them unconsciously and that with Yale’s level there was no way he could control any Law correctly with his current level.

Using a tiny bit in attacks like Kermu did with his sword attack in the Special Realm was something that Krienek believed that was possible for Yale to do.

However, for Krienek that was aiming to become a Law Master, there was no way that such attacks could be considered as controlling a Law, for Krienek that kind of attack was just having some insight in a law.

That insight was something remarkable for members of the younger generation, but Krienek didn’t consider that it was enough to surpass the superiority in power and number of the other party.

Of course, Krienek didn’t dare to say that in front of Yale because it would be too disrespectful, so he looked for a different reason to avoid Yale from rushing to his death.

“Ancestor, I am glad to hear your noble intentions, but only my disciples can participate, and moreover, those disciples need to have been under my tutelage for more than two years, so even if I say that you are a new disciple, it would still be impossible to participate. There is no way you can take Kermu’s position, and then battle in that competition.”

There was no way that greedy great elder would have left such a big loophole. If the only important matter was being Krienek’s disciple, Krienek could just acknowledge as disciples some of the powerful experts in the Kurk Clan just before the competition and then winning wouldn’t be difficult. A lot of people of the Kurk Clan would be glad to become a disciple of a peak Sage Rank expert that was also their clan head.

“Don’t worry about that. I will assume Kermu’s appearance, so everyone will think that I am Kermu and there will be no way they can block me from participating.”

With Shape Shift, Yale didn’t need to worry about being discovered; his only flaw was that he didn’t have the Space Bloodline, but as long as he would look and act like Kermu while using skills related to the Space Law like Teleportation, Yale doubted that someone would try to check his bloodline.

Moreover, Yale had already decided to use those disciples, that would have killed Kermu without Yale’s interference, as the sacrifices to obtain the Space Bloodline. Thus, even if someone checked the bloodline after the battle, there wouldn’t be any problem.

“Ancestor, I know that someone at the Sage Rank seems like a weakling for you, but there is no way a mere disguise would work in front of someone of that Rank.”

In fact, Krienek didn’t think that a disguise would be able to cheat even the weaker members of the Kurk Clan, but he didn’t dare to say that much.

“There is no need to worry. My transformation skills aren’t that weak.”

Yale used Shape Shift to change his appearance to Kermu’s one while speaking, letting everyone shocked.

“This…”

Krienek was without words because if it weren’t because the clothes of Yale and Kermu were different, he wouldn’t be able to differentiate the two of them. In fact, even Serka, who was Kermu’s wife, couldn’t differentiate the two of them just by the looks.

“Now, do you still think that it is impossible that I participate in the competition with Kermu’s identity?”

There wasn’t any reply with words, but Krienek shook his head.

“That is indeed the Ancestor, even reincarnated is still awesome.”

Although Krienek only thought those words, his respect for Yale increased a lot, and he didn’t dare to continue putting problems for Yale participating in the competition. He decided to believe that Yale had his means since he dared to participate.

“Go and accept that competition, don’t make me lose more time. The sooner I can beat those traitors to death, the better.”

Hearing that Yale was already impatient, Krienek stood up and went to a corner to send a Spiritual Sense message to that great elder through a token.

Then, Yale recovered his original appearance before speaking again.

“Kermu, Serka, I will teleport both of you to a special location, don’t be afraid.”

Without giving time to Kermu and Serka to reply, both of them disappeared together with Yale and reappeared in the Special Realm.

“Alright, this is a special dimension under my control. Probably it is the safest place in the world. Kermu, you will remain in this place while I battle with your identity; if someone discoverers you while I am battling, the situation can worsen a lot.”

Kermu nodded despite noticing that the space in that dimension wasn’t stable because he understood that it was impossible to ask for a better place to hide. In fact, there was the area with Aiwai’s mansion that was better, but Yale didn’t plan to let anyone enter there, and he altered the space in the area to avoid others finding Aiwai’s house.

“I will also send Ange to here later before the competition starts, but Serka, you will need to follow by my side, or everyone would get suspicious if Kermu goes to such a difficult battle without having his wife supporting him.”

Serka also nodded to that because she knew very well that she would never let Kermu participate in such a deadly competition without going to cheer him.

Although the information that Yale was giving to them was true, there was no reason to put them in the Storage Space just to explain it. Yale’s true reason was to use the Divine Time Eyes on Kermu and Serka to obtain the detailed information of both of them, the more detailed it could be, the better.

After all, he hadn’t met them in years and if he were to make a big mistake in Kermu’s behavior or failed to react to Serka’s actions like Kermu would do, it would be a problem. Moreover, Kermu knew Serka very well, so it would be easy for Yale to make a mistake without obtaining information from Serka as well.

However, to use the Divine Time Eyes, Yale needed to activate the Origin Time Bloodline, and he couldn’t do it outside the Storage Space.

Yale had a difficult time using the Divine Time Eyes on Serka and Kermu, but fortunately his control over the Condensed Essences while being inside the Storage Space increased, so he barely managed to do it.

Yale obtained a lot of information about both of them. At that moment, he believed that if he supplanted any of their identities, not even their parents would notice the difference as long as they didn’t have a long conversation with Yale while supplanting the identity.

After all, Yale only obtained information of the recent past, and although it was enough to know very well their behavior, if someone started to speak about things of their past, Yale would have no way to reply.

“Alright, you already knew about this place, so let’s go out. I will bring Kermu and Ange inside once the competition is about to start.”

The three of them were again in the meeting room just after Yale spoke, the teleportation process between the real world and the Storage Space was extremely quick.

After having returned to the room, Yale looked towards Nurvey.

“Nurvey, on the competition you will act as an envoy of the Imperial Family to supervise that no one cheats. If they complain that you are Kermu’s friend, you can threaten them by saying that it is an order of Revgen and they will shut up.”

No one would dare to falsify an order of Revgen, not even Nurvey herself. However, Yale’s position in Revgen eyes was superior to his own, so even if Yale falsified some orders from Revgen, Revgen wouldn’t be angered by that and would punish anyone who disobeyed those orders because for him Yale’s orders had even more weight than his own orders.

The members of the True Empire wanted to conquer the Revgen Empire, but they didn’t dare to defy Revgen openly for fear of his power. Thus, they wouldn’t risk putting their plans in danger just because Nurvey was acting as an envoy to look at the competition.

At most, they would think that Krienek accepted the competition because he obtained Nurvey’s support to ensure that the competition was fair, but since the rules were unfair from the start, they didn’t plan to cheat on the competition.

At that moment, Krienek returned with a grim face.

“I already accepted the competition. However, they told me that we should start in a half-hour or I will lose by default.”

Krienek felt that Yale would need to study Kermu’s behavior a bit before the competition, but he didn’t believe that in a half-hour, Yale could do that.

He would faint if he were to learn that Yale already learned enough about Kermu in the short time Krienek sent communicated that he accepted the competition.
