Last Wish System

"Would it be possible to reach one of the exits before the special realm self-destructed completely?"

Yale knew that it was probably impossible as they had traveled a lot of time before reaching the room with the altar, but he didn't want to discard that chance.

"The user's current location is the most stable part of the realm; other parts are already starting to collapse, the possibilities of reaching an exit are 0% as there isn't a path to follow to any exit."

Yale sighed after hearing the system's reply.

"Is there any method to let the others exit the realm without going out of the current room?"

As the altar's room was the last room, Yale hoped that there was a secret exit or something like that.

"As the owner of the realm's core, the user can leave the realm from anywhere, but the others can't do it."

Before Yale could ask something else, the system continued.

"However, the user could use the realm's core to alter the current exits of the realm, forcing them to appear in the current position. However, after forcing the change of positions, all the other exits would collapse instantly, and when the user leaves the realm or cancel the forced exit, there won't exist any way to leave for the others."

Doing that, Yale would also cut the path of retreat of anyone who wasn't in the altar's room, but Yale felt that those who were alive reached the final room or went back time ago.

Yale smiled as he found a way to save his friends and the Tofesh Clan members. Due to his relationship with Tofesh, he would also help them to leave even if he didn't have any direct relationship with them.

Furthermore, all of his friends were with him. Even if Yale didn't wish anything bad for the other members of the Nacesai Academy, he didn't believe they were alive if they hadn't run off the special realm. Heruk had said that he wanted to kill all of them and with the current state of the realm, if they hadn't been murdered by Heruk, they wouldn't be able to reach alive any of the exits if they were still inside.

Yale immediately asked the system about the method to alter the exits making one show in the altar's room while destroying all the others.

"The user needs to concentrate into the core and use Origin Qi to order the realm change the exits' positions."

Yale tried it immediately, but it was more difficult than he expected, he couldn't do it in a few seconds.

At that moment, the battle was about to restart, even if they were doomed to death they wanted to kill their enemies first.

However, to Yale that wasn't good as the time was limited before the realm complete its self-destruction. If they wasted time battling, Yale wouldn't have enough time to move the exit and let his friends leave the special realm.

"Kermu! I know a method to leave the special realm, but I need some time. If we hurry, this isn't a dead end for us!"

Yale didn't want that his opponents heard those words, but he didn't have any method to communicate with his friends without letting the others hearing them, so he just shouted.

"If we die here, you all will die with us!"

Kreg knew that even if Yale had a method to exit the realm, he wouldn't let any of his enemies use it.

Kreg's group wanted to charge towards Yale, but Nurvey had managed to reach him first and cast a barrier.

The barrier only lasted for few seconds, but those were enough to let Yale's allies regroup near him, none of them would allow that the chance of living escaped from their hands.

"Yale, we will win some time for you. Our lives are in your hands."

Kermu believed that Yale had such method, he had managed to surprise everyone a lot of times since they met and since Yale had obtained the altar's sword, it wasn't impossible that some hidden method had been revealed to him.

Yale was concentrated only on moving the exits; he didn't dare to waste time even if his friends would have a difficult battle.

Yale would be able to win against all of the opponents as long they were inside the special realm, but if they weren't as stupid as Heruk was, they wouldn't die that quick and the time he would need to kill them could be crucial to saving everyone.

Yale didn't want to risk as he also knew that Kermu and the others weren't weaklings, even if beating those opponents was difficult, maintaining a stalemate until Yale finished was easier.

Nurvey just focused on boost the others' defense and cast another barrier to protect Yale and the rearguard.

Kermu continued his battle with Kreg; he was the only one capable of fighting against him. If Kermu went to fight against the other opponents, Kreg alone would be able to cause considerable damage to the other members of Kermu's group.

Serka continued healing everyone, as long as she managed to avoid any death when they leave the special realms, their clans would treat all of them. In fact, Serka's Time Healing had improved a lot since they reached the altar area, she benefited a lot from the dense time law effects and the continuous healing to her allies.

Hyrk was the one who had the most injuries; he was going mad to resist any attack in order to win time, he felt that by doing that he would be able to regain his honor after the whole group almost died due to his impulsivity before.

Durgan's group was also full of injuries, but none of them was deep. Serka had to heal a lot of people, so she focused only on the worst wounds making everyone seem in dire straits even if their bodies state wasn't as bad as appeared in the outside.

The Tofesh Clan group didn't know what to do as they didn't have any relation to Yale, but they didn't want to die. They weren't participating in the battle and remained doubtful about what to do while regretting didn't join hand's with Yale's group before.

They didn't have any intention of obtaining Yale's sword; they knew enough from weapons to see that it wasn't the type of weapon anyone could use, so they never showed any hostility towards him either.

The rumbles in the realm were increasing, the time for the complete destruction of the realm was nearing at fearsome speed.

Yale needed more than fifteen minutes until a small hole started to appear at his back.

Yale had only managed to increase the hole's size until being enough for a person to enter, that size was Yale's limit. Even with the sword's help, controlling the realm to move a space-time passage was incredibly hard.

"Now! Enter the hole and exit the realm! I won't be able to last for long!"

They couldn't enter at the passage at the same time due to its size, so they started to retreat slowly.

The first ones in retreat were the Larken Clan members who were already exhausted from battle, excluding Durgan who refused to retreat in the first batch.

"What are you waiting! Hurry and enter the passage!"

Yale shouted those words towards the Tofesh Clan's members and their companions, as Yale's past life had a good relationship with the Tofesh Clan founder, he didn't want them to die in front of his eyes.

The other party was shocked at Yale's words, even without having any relationship with them, he still let them use the exit he created for his friends before all of them had left.

"Our clan would never forget your kindness."

After Birgh bowed to yale expressing her gratitude in the name of her clan, she left the realm followed by her group.

Aizu was trying to carry George to the exit, but her petite body wasn't able to move George due to the difference in size. She was only a 2-star mortal realm, and as the common paths didn't require to reach the max possible stats, Aizu's strength wasn't much higher than a girl who didn't practice the Warrior Path.

"Let me help you."

Durgan grabbed George and helped him to move towards the passage; his honor wouldn't let him abandon someone who was unable to move due to the despicable acts of other nobles.

"Yale, I will exit the realm following your friend and I will ask someone to heal him. I doubt there is any hope of recovering his arm, but his others injuries shouldn't be a problem. Remember that you are engaged with my sister, you can't die here, I will wait for you outside!"

Durgan tossed George into the passage and followed him; the hole wasn't big enough for let the two of them crossing it together, but Durgan had enough confidence in guiding the injured George towards the other side of the passage.

Aizu wanted to say something to Yale, but after seeing how Yale's face was already pale due to maintaining the passage operative, she left without disturbing him. Aizu knew that she couldn't help him, so at least she wouldn't distract him.
