Chapter 785 785: but not you

"What is your name?" the woman asked Karyk.

This was the first time she had asked someone's name as she was intrigued about Karyk's identity. She still wasn't able to see through his mind, making her feel as if something was really wrong with him.

With Aliac, at least she knew who he was, but Karyk gave her a strange feeling. n-)0vElb1n

Still, she didn't take any special measures to protect herself against any attack as if she wasn't even concerned about being attacked and killed.

As an Elzerian, she had come to understand her immortality to perfection. Even as a child, she had been trained as a warrior to the point that she had lost all her sense of pain.

For an immortal warrior, only pain was their biggest enemy as it could break their mind. Every Warrior in Elzeria was training in a similar manner from their childhood. Although it could be considered brutal, it also made them remove their biggest weakness.

Karyk didn't answer. He only observed the woman. Although she was different from him, he could still feel her aura. It had a unique essence to it that resonated with him. He just didn't understand why he found this aura to be familiar.

He had thousands of years of memories. Was there someone in those memories who used a similar aura? Or was there something else? He couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Can you let us leave?" Karyk asked the woman, although he could already guess her answer. There was no way the woman could let him leave.

What was worse was that he still didn't know the equation between the people of this world and Aliac. The man had tried to be so mysterious that he didn't explain everything clearly.

The woman appeared to be surprised at Karyk's question. After some time, she burst into laughter, shaking her head. "Leave? Do you really not understand where you are?"

"Did you really not tell your friend anything?" she asked Aliac.

Her thoughts were clear. If she couldn't read Karyk's mind to find his identity, she was going to make Aliac give her the answer. The only reason she talked about Karyk with Aliac was to trigger his subconscious memories about his interaction with Karyk so she could find his identity.

"Hmm?"

Her trick worked as well, but something strange happened. Whenever anything related to Karyk came up in Aliac's thoughts, she couldn't see it.

It was as if her abilities went completely blank whenever anything related to Karyk came up. She could see through Aliac's thoughts, just not anything related to the man who intrigued her.

"How?" She was even more stunned now. Even if Karyk had an ability to protect his mind, but Aliac didn't. Still, everything related to Karyk was blank in Aliac's mind.

It was as if something strange was interfering with her abilities, akin to fate playing some trick.

She couldn't help but wonder if Karyk could also protect Aliac's mind. But if he had this ability, why wouldn't he shield Aliac's other thoughts? That didn't make sense.

The more she tried to understand Karyk, the more confused she became. All she knew was that Karyk was dangerous. Something was really wrong with him and she didn't want to let that man go.

"I can let anyone leave, but not you!" She spoke, her tone getting cold.

"I see." Karyk sighed. Although he didn't know the entire equation between this world and Aliac, he was certain that Aliac was trying to protect their world from these people. And so far, the woman appeared to be a threat.

"I'll have to make my way through you then." Karyk's aura flared, the Deadly Sword in his head shrouded in a powerful aura of death.

For a moment, even the barrier that was stealing the energy of other elements failed to steal the aura that created Karyk's sword. It was beyond its limit. The more the barrier stole, the more Karyk supplied it, thus maintaining the form of his sword.

"Sigh. I wanted to avoid the battle and leave, but since it's come to this point, then we can only fight and then leave." Aliac also brought out his twin daggers as he rushed towards the other three Elzerians.

Although these people couldn't be killed, if they could temporarily be hurt, then it could grant them an opportunity to leave.

Karyk's sword blade pulsated with dark energy. Across from him stood a woman, her ethereal presence radiating an eerie, undying aura. She was an immortal, a being untouched by the ravages of time.

Karyk's malevolent and chaotic aura clashed with the woman's serene still aura. With a thunderous clash, their battle began.

The Sword of Death cleaved through the air, leaving trails of shadowy flames in its wake, while the immortal woman gracefully dodged his strike, her movement faster than anyone Karyk ever faced before. Her movements were as fluid as the eternal river of life itself.

Their clash echoed throughout the hellish realm. Karyk's sword carved chasms into the ground, while the undying woman's strikes created ripples in the very fabric of the surroundings.

Although she could just stay standing and watch him attack in desperation, the woman attacked back as if she didn't want to hold back this time. She didn't just want to see Karyk despair in realization that she was undying. Instead, she wanted to dominate him with her strength.

As sparks and shadows filled the battlefield, the woman's eyes held a knowing calm, contrasting with the rage that flickered in Karyk's crimson gaze.

Their battle seemed endless. The woman could not be killed, and Karyk's true strength after his awakening was yet untested.

The woman wielded a spear that was even larger than her. It created a contract with her slim physique, yet she could wield the heavy spear as if it was nothing.

Even more surprising was that the spear appeared to be guiding itself in the battle, changing its direction and weight according to the attack that was used. It was as if the spear had intelligence.

Each clash of their weapons sent shockwaves through the realms of existence, threatening to unravel the world itself.
