Chapter 320: Quest's Time Exhaustion

Chapter 318: Quest’s Time Exhaustion

Almost two months passed since the ship departed from Trade City, but the quest about leaving the continent was still uncompleted and the remaining time was just some more hours.

“Am I going to fail?”

Yale felt quite depressed those last days due to that quest.

At the start, he enjoyed the travel and the time he spent teaching Mercer, which felt really that should be teaching a disciple. There was a huge difference with the times he tried to teach Aizu because Yale knew that she had some second intentions towards him and since she looked like a grown-up girl it wasn’t the same that teaching Mercer who was just a kid.

Mercer had improved a lot in the use of water element spells in that time, although he was still unable to turn the water into ice at will. However, Yale was very satisfied with Mercer’s improvement.

Sadly, the Quest Menu didn’t bother about how Yale felt about his disciples since the only condition was leaving the continent.

Yale didn’t know the results of failing the quest, but he didn’t think that would be anything good.

The ship was already at full speed, and it wasn’t possible to increase it more. Furthermore, Yale didn’t dare to put the whole ship on the Storage Space and fly at top speed despite that being a bit quicker.

After all, although the travel until that moment hadn’t any problem, the ocean wasn’t a safe place at all and the formations protecting the ship were far better than Yale’s own defense. Although Absolute Protection was the best kind of defense its uses were limited, and it wasn’t good against a sneak attack if Yale was unprepared.

“Master doesn’t seem to be in a good mood today.”

Mercer said that while looking towards the depressed Yale on the deck.

“This has already lasted some days. Maybe I should go to hug him? I am sure that he would be happy about having a beautiful girl comforting him”

Aizu replied while she did the same than Mercer observing Yale from far.

“Big sister, our master would probably feel even worse if he is disturbed right now.”

Mercer had turned quite close to Yale since the ship departed, so he understood that Yale didn’t want to be disturbed without a good reason and Mercer knew Aizu enough to understand that Aizu just wanted some physical contact with Yale and comforting him was just a cheap excuse.

“If you say so…”

Aizu felt quite depressed after hearing Mercer, but she knew in her heart that Yale wasn’t someone who liked to be disturbed without reason.

Yale remained in that position for some more hours, but the system still didn’t react.

“Five minutes until the time for the quest will end.”

It was impossible for Yale to avoid sighing at that moment because there wasn’t anything in the ocean that seemed to be a barrier or something like that.

He had already thought that crossing the barrier mentioned by Revgen was the turning point for the quest, but he didn’t see any barrier at all, which he interpreted as that he was still too far from there.

Quickly another four minutes passed, and Yale already assumed that the quest was a failure.

“This would be my first failure in a quest. I hope that the consequences won’t be too big.”

Yale though that while he assumed the result of the quest since there was nothing that he could do at that moment.

However, at that moment the ship stopped as if there were an invisible wall in front of it.

“Maybe this is…”

Yale stopped thinking as there were only seconds left in the quest, and then he started to use his second level World’s Authority to try to open that invisible wall as fast as he could.

Yale noticed that his efforts were working, and the ship slowly advanced as the wall was starting to disappear, but the remaining time was also disappearing.

Twenty seconds.

Ten seconds.

Five seconds.

Yale wasn’t looking the countdown, but the system started to spoke the countdown in his mind automatically, which only added more pressure to Yale.

Three seconds.

Two seconds.

One second.

“Quest completed. Rewards: Stats increase. Origin Points increase. Origin Points Recovery Speed increases.”

Less than half a second was left when that notification appeared in Yale’s head.

“This had been too close… Fortunately, I didn’t waste any more time before departing.”

After saying those words, Yale’s aura soared and increased directly from the 1-star Elder Rank to the 3-star Elder Rank.

The increase in stats and Origin Points was just monstrous given the huge numbers needed to advance at that point.

However, what Yale liked that most, was the increase in the Origin Points Recovery Speed, it has been so low that in case of exhausting all his energy he would have needed too many years to replenish himself.

Although the Origin Point recovery speed was still quite low for his huge amount of Origin Points, at least it increased until recovering ten Origin points per minute which were far better than only one.

Of course, Yale didn’t belittle the increase of hundred fifty million in the stats and the Origin Points, but he could achieve that by slowly training while he didn’t know how to increase his Origin Point Recovery Speed without the Last Wish System assistance.

In fact, although Yale didn0t know about it, there wasn’t any penalization for failing that quest, but not obtaining the increase in the Origin Point Recovery Speed was already a huge penalty.

Yale finally relaxed before checking the Quest menu to look for the next quest.

“Obtain the World Sea Pearl. Time limit: One year.”

Yale wanted to curse the system for giving him another quest with a time limit and one with an objective of obtaining an item that Yale had never heard before.

Yale could guess that the World Sea Pearl was in the ocean, but the ocean was enormous, that was an almost impossible quest.

While Yale was cursing his own past life because he firmly believed that his past life was the one who put those quests in the Quest Menu, Mercer and Aizu that were looking towards Yale couldn’t believe what had just happened before their eyes.

First, the ship stopped completely and then Yale’s face turned serious and the ship started to advance slowly. Then, the ship recovered its normal speed, and Yale’s aura surged indicating that he made a breakthrough.

Fortunately, they couldn’t feel Yale’s level, so they didn’t notice that Yale advanced more than one level at the same time.

“Maybe master knew of something blocking our path and was working hard to dispel it, which put him in a bad mood for some days.”

Mercer couldn’t think in another reason for Yale’s mood in the previous days and what he had just saw.

“Probably it is just what you said. Fortunately, I didn’t go to disturb him, or he would have been mad at me.”

Aizu could only agree to Mercer’s guess as there weren’t any other reason that she could think at that moment.

“System, can you tell me some more information about that World Sea Pearl?”

Yale hoped that since that quest was put int he system, there should also be some information about it. At least he wanted some hint to start looking for the pearl because blindly searching the whole ocean was impossible and there was the time limit of one year.

“The World Sea Pearl is a treasure protected by the royalty of the Sea Race that currently resides in this world’s ocean. The Sea Race came to live to this ocean when their world was destroyed, and the World Sea Pearl is the most valuable treasure they brought from that world. The current location of the World Sea Perl is unknown.”

Yale sighed in relief when the system replied to his question, but there was another huge problem since that World Sea Pearl was a treasure belonging to a race from a different world.

“Since I need to obtain it, there should a reason for it and probably just grabbing it and returning it won’t work. It seems that if I want to fulfill this quest, facing danger is unavoidable.”

After thinking about that, he could only sigh as he would need to play the role of a thief to fulfill that quest. Yale still didn’t dare to fail in completing the quest if he could avoid it as he didn’t know the consequences.

“Evidently, the previous quest of leaving the continent was for the sake of this new quest about the World Sea pearl. I am sure that later on, I will need this World Sea Pearl, so I must give my all to find it.”

Yale understood that there should be some big plan behind those quests even if seemed to lack sense at that moment.

Although Yale was a bit angry with the quests with a time limit, he understood that his past life never did something to harm him and that everything had a reason that he just was unable to understand at that moment.
