Yale and his father walked silently by the prison; they didn't feel like speaking with the other.

There was a lot of people in those jails, but their souls were already enslaved making those people lose any hopes in their life; they couldn't even kill themselves as their strength was thoroughly sealed due to having enslaved souls.

The True Empire treated people like them like beasts. Those people weren't allowed to wear any clothes, and they could only eat the same food as the one given to the animals; in fact, the animals received more food than them. Moreover, they all had the order of never speaking again unless they were ordered to do it, so at most, they could make some beastly sounds.

They were a sample of the fate that the True Empire wanted to all the inhabitants of the continent.

Yale didn't feel good seeing people in that state and wanted to force them to reincarnate to stop their suffering, but if all of them died at the same time, he feared that the members of the True Zhan Clan would be alerted.

It was possible for one of those slaves to die due to the lack of nutrition or the living conditions, so that wouldn't catch any attention as it was pretty normal and the True Empire didn't care about those lives. However, if a lot of them died in a short span of time, they would be alerted and saving Ange was a priority, so Yale couldn't risk alerting the True Empire for some unknown people.

"Grandfather..."

Yale's father stopped when he saw that the clan head of the Roanmad Clan was in one of those jails and his state wasn't better than the others.

Yale also stopped and saw the old man in the jail; although he didn't have such a close relationship with him, that man was still his great-grandfather and a victim of the True Empire.

"Sorry, I can't save you."

Yale muttered those words unconsciously when seeing the clan leader in such a pitiful state that didn't seem even to recognize Yale and his father.

"So, even you can't do anything to solve this. More reason to rush to save Ange."

Yale's father felt bad for the clan head, but as they couldn't help him, it was better to ignore him and save Ange.

"I can't save him, but I can force him to reincarnate. Usually, this kind of enslavement won't disappear even after reincarnation, this is quite different from those soul marks. However, I have a method to make him reincarnate without the effects of soul slavery."

The clan head was muddle-headed and didn't recognize them, but when he heard those last words he started to nod his head with the little strength he had; he wanted to die, and if he could reincarnate without being a slave then it would be fabulous. Those were the only thoughts in his broken mind. Even without reincarnation, he would still choose to die if he needed to live like that.

"Isn't that just killing him and provoking more problems for others? Experts like you never consider the problems you provoke when reincarnating or sending others to reincarnate."

It was clear that Yale's father was completely against reincarnation, but Yale ignored his opinion.

"He wants to die and reincarnate, and I will fulfill his wish."

It was impossible for someone to cross the barrier of the jail, but that kind of barrier wasn't effective against the Space-time judgment Sword. Although the barrier wasn't broken, the sword could cross it without problems. Of course, Yale needed to grab the sword; he couldn't use his Spiritual Sense to control it inside the jail.

The head of the Roanmad Clan neared to the extreme on the jail and closed his eyes hoping to die quickly.

Yale was about killing him when the two Condensed Essence on his body resonated with the Space-time Judgment Sword and the sword crossed the clan head's body without harming it.

However, the clan head fell to the ground lifeless despite not having any injury in his body; even the internal parts of his body were in a perfect state. He died without any suffering; the sword omitted his body and directly reached his soul forcing him to reincarnate.

"The user acted with piety towards an enslaved soul helping it to reincarnate, Legacy Skill [Merciful Reincarnation] unlocked."

Yale wasn't expecting to obtain a new Legacy Skill in that situation.

"Merciful Reincarnation: Sends the target soul to reincarnation omitting any abnormal state of the soul. The target's body won't be damaged nor will suffer any pain. Requires using the Space-time Judgment Sword, the Death Essence and the Sword Essence. The skill can be improved by adding the use of Life Essence. Only if the user pitied the target's soul can this skill be executed. This skill will fail against evil souls due to the nature of the Space-time Judgment Sword."

That skill wasn't for battling against others, but to save them. That was also one of Liye's most personal skills; he had saved a lot of people with that skill in the past.

It was extremely difficult to heal the problems in the soul, and even Liye couldn't do that. Having problems with the soul would also block reincarnation or the problems would be inherited for the next life, those were the two options depending on what problem the soul had. Thus, for most people with some problems in their souls the chance of reincarnating through Merciful Reincarnation was an ultimate blessing.

Moreover, for Yale, using Merciful Reincarnation wasn't that difficult despite needing some understanding about the essences because the Condensed Essences would help Yale as long as he fulfilled the conditions; that was a huge advantage of the Legacy Skills. It was similar to how Yale could use Absolute Protection since the moment he obtained it without understanding the Time Law.

"As expected of you; killing our clan head without blinking."

Yale stared his father coldly when he heard those words.

"The clan head wanted this. He died without pain and will have another chance at life."

That was the only method to free the head of the Roanmad Clan from his fate as a slave; Yale didn't send him to reincarnation because he liked to do it.

"Even if he reincarnates, he won't be our clan head anymore. I know very well that only those who reached certain levels of power can remember the memories of other lives and the clan head was just at the Master Rank like my wife when she died. Thus, no matter if they reincarnate, they won't be themselves anymore. They are gone forever!"

When Yale's mother died, the Mysterious Expert made her reincarnate, but also explained that about reincarnation to Yale's father.

In fact, it was possible to recover those memories as long one reached a high level in training, but at such point even if someone recovered their memories, they wouldn't be the same person.

Even Lar who recovered some of her memories when she just reached the Novice Rank due to the problems with her soul wasn't exactly the same as before, so it was easy to imagine how different would be someone who recovered those memories after a lot of time.

"My sword is special. Although it isn't the normal case, he will be able to remember this life after reincarnation thanks to this sword. However, I don't know where and when he will be born again."

Besides the power of the Space-time Judgment Sword, it was also possible to forcefully make someone reincarnate with memories with enough mastery of life and death, but Yale wasn't too knowledgeable about how that worked.

"Then, maybe my wife..."

Yale's father changed a bit after hearing Yale, but the later quickly shook his head.

"This sword is bound to my soul, and I am the only one who can use it. Moreover, this sword needs to kill the target to trigger that effect. I won't say that there aren't other methods for her to keep her memories, but I don't know who that person you spoke of was, nor I can deduce that person's abilities. Anyway, unless you found her reincarnation, you won't be able to ensure if she remembers or no."

The face of Yale's father turned gloomy again. He knew that his wife wasn't killed by a sword and since that person told him that people at low levels wouldn't have their memories after reincarnation unless they reached a high level in training, he didn't believe that such person had a method to protect his wife's memories.

Of course, he couldn't be sure of that part, but he didn't even know if she had already reincarnated or not, and even if she already reincarnated, finding her wouldn't be an easy task. Thus, for him, that small hope quickly disappeared.

"It is the same in the end. For weaklings like us, reincarnation is the same as disappearing forever..."

Yale's father knew that even if he had the luck of finding his wife or his grandfather after their reincarnation, they wouldn't have the same relationship. He was unable to accept something like reincarnation no matter how he tried to use it as a hope.

In fact, that negativity towards reincarnation was the main reason for people being unable to treat the reincarnated selves of people they had met before in the same way. Except for few cases like Lar, most people would think like Yale's father in front of reincarnation.
