Last Wish System

The burly man couldn’t believe what he was seeing, and his face darkened.

"A practitioner. Shit!"

He hadn’t expected that a random little girl would be a practitioner because the practice had been banned by the local power.

The town belonged to a country governed by a bandit gang, and they forbid that others practiced a Path. The only way to practice a Path was joining them, and anyone who tried to break those rules would be killed mercilessly.

The power of the bandit gang was huge, and no one of those who tried to break the rules to oppose them succeeded.

The burly man didn’t think that Ange was a rebel, he immediately thought that she was a member of the bandit gang who was testing if someone had broken the rules.

"You really look down on us! Die!"

The burly man was a classic example of a muscle brain and didn’t think about the consequences of his actions at all.

In his mind, he just thought that the girl wasn’t too strong since she only defended and that it would feel great killing a member of the bandit gang.

As for the punishment that the bandit gang would unleash towards them later, it didn’t even appear in his mind.

Since his punches couldn’t break the Water Shield, he used a long rusty sword to stab Ange.

Ange had just started practicing, so her Water Shield was easily crossed by the rusty sword although the sword itself was weakening a lot in exchange.

"Weapon Breaker!"

Ange wielded her short sword and hit the rusty sword of the burly man, which crumbled in an instant by the combined power of Water Shield and Weapon Breaker.

Water Shield and Weapon Breaker were the two skills that Ange mastered after reaching that planet. Both of them were focused on preventing others from harming her, but those skills wouldn’t harm the opponent either.

Ange knew that she would need to harm others at some point because defending wouldn’t always be useful, but at least she wanted to prevent harming others if she could.

The burly man was stupid, but after his sword broke, he finally realized that he was courting death with his actions and dropped to his knees.

The rest of the people in the village had ashen faces as they understood that if the bandit gang sought revenge, they would all die. It didn’t matter that everything was done only by the burly man because the bandit gang would kill them all to use them as an example.

Of course, Ange didn’t have any relationship with the bandit gang, but there was no way that the people of the town would think about

that possibility.

Trying to solve the situation, the people in the town gifted almost all their food to Ange, which included a storage artifact to contain it.

That storage artifact was the treasure of the town and relying on it they could store food for more time, but compared to their lives, a storage artifact meant nothing.

Ange was still young, so she just thought that they were giving that storage artifact to her as apologize. In fact, since Ange’s perspective, the storage artifact and the quantity and quality of the food inside was negligible, so she didn’t think too much before accepting.

She didn’t know how much value that storage artifact and the food contained inside had for the people of the town.

While Ange left the town, Yale, who was observing her through his incredibly powerful Divine Sense, smiled.

"You helped Ange a lot with that storage artifact and the food, so I will spare your lives, but that burly man would suffer for the rest of his short life."

Yale felt that the people of the town acted correctly. If Yale had been displeased, their fates would be far worse than angering the bandit gang they feared so much.

Yale couldn’t interfere with Ange, but once Ange left, she also severed her ties with the people of that town, so no matter what Yale did to them, it wouldn’t have any effect on Ange.

Of course, that was because the lives of the people in that town didn0t have absolutely any effect on Ange. Even if the whole village were exterminated, nothing would change to Ange.

Thus, Yale didn’t hesitate in using his authority as Timeless Covering to mess with the burly man’s fate. Yale couldn’t control the fate of others at will, but twisting the fate was easy for him.

The burly man had already been sentenced to a life of misfortune that would probably end with him dead far before the moment that he should have died.

Yale would restrain himself when it could harm Ange, but as long as it didn’t affect Ange’s fate, he would be ruthless to those who tried to harm Ange.

From the moment that the burly man tried to rob Ange’s belongings, Yale had already decided that regardless of the outcome, that man was doomed.

Ange hadn’t been in danger at all because a mortal couldn’t destroy her clothes. Although the quality of the clothes was low compared to the ones she usually wore, they weren’t something that an ordinary mortal could break.

After a whole month of travel, Ange found that everyone she met acted strange. No one exchanged goods with her because everyone gifted to her whatever she wanted.

The rumors about Ange spread quickly, and no one had the guts to defy her.

Some people weren’t sure if Ange was really a part of the bandit gang, but they were ordinary mortals, so they didn’t dare to anger a practitioner.

Ange had made four breakthroughs in that month, so she was far stronger than when the burly mand attacked her.

As for the burly man, he died after being tortured by all his concubines who drugged him and vented their anger before killing him. They had all been forced to become the concubines the burly man and hated him a lot, but they hadn’t dared to act before.

However, after Ange’s incident, for some reason, they felt a surge of courage, and one of them, coincidentally, found a toxic plant that could be used as a drug that could immobilize someone as big as the burly man.

Given the bad reputation of the burly man, no one was sad when he died. In fact, they felt that it was a good thing because if the bandit gang appeared, they could say that they killed the burly man for being disrespectful with Ange, which they felt that would increase their chances to survive.

Ange continues traveling without a fixed destination. Just by walking, she was able to increase her stats, given her extraordinary talent.

Yale could notice her improvements, and despite being happy for Ange, he felt that his talent was vastly inferior compared to her talent.

Yale and Lina relaxed a bit because Ange’s journey was being quite smooth after the incident with the burly man, but despite that, Yale was still ready to interfere at any moment to save Ange at the last second if something happened.

After all, Ange was on a foreign planet, and despite her increase in strength, she was still too weak to be safe there.

Two months after Ange reached that planet, she was near to make a breakthrough to the Novice Rank, but at the same time, she felt that making that breakthrough would be more difficult than her usual breakthroughs, so she wanted to find a place to rest first, and make the breakthrough with calm.

She was walking towards a city, the only city she had seen so far since the other places with people were all small towns.

Of course, she didn0t knew that the city was the headquarters of the bandit gang and that everyone inside was members of the gang.

She managed to hear that there was a big city there and decided to make it her destination as it seemed a good place to make her breakthrough with calm.

Yale and Lina were restless when they saw their daughter walking towards a city of bandits.

The leader of those bandits was one of the strongest beings of the plant, a Law God, and he was currently in that city. Moreover, there were five Law Masters under his orders.

Yale could kill all of them without moving a finger, but killing them would affect Ange’s fate, so he could just hope that they wouldn’t try to harm Ange.

However, even before Ange reached the gated of the city, she was already surrounded by bandits.

The Law God wasn’t there, and there wasn’t any Law Master either, but a group of Grandmasters was still something that Ange couldn’t resist.

That group was slightly above average in the bandit gang, but they didn’t have any authority given their levels of power.

However, in front of people who weren’t from the gang, they believed that they were like Gods and no one could oppose them. As for a little girl like Ange who practiced a Path without being part of their bandit gang, they were planning to enjoy the situation.

"I don’t know who you are, but any practitioner who isn’t from our gang should die!"

Ange knew that any of her skills would be useful to save her and could only look at the men approached her with weapons on their hands.

However, those men stopped as their heads fell to the ground.

Yale, who was about to interfere, was flabbergasted.
