The rusty knife pierced through Ryder's back, becoming stained with his blood as it entered his flesh. Blood spilled from the wound, tainting his clothes in a deep shade of red.

Simultaneously, Janus cast a soundproof barrier around the room, ensuring that no noise could escape its confines.

In the blink of an eye, the bloodied knife was completely gone, disappearing entirely.

Janus watched Ryder slump forward, his body weakened by the unexpected attack. He had expected Ryder to fight back, or to defend himself, but instead, he simply collapsed onto the desk, right above the book.

The marker fell on the table, slowly rolling down before eventually falling off the table.

Even Janus hadn't foreseen the knife working so effectively. This particular blade was one of the two knives created by his Elder Brother. He had never seen his brother use them either.

All Janus knew was that his brother had always warned him to steer clear of the knife, saying that he would die if he got a cut from them.

Janus was unaware of its full capabilities, but he had only heard some vague words from his brother that this knife possessed the power to slay even their father.

Upon hearing such an explanation, Janus had been shocked, worried that his brother had crafted the blade with the intention of killing their father.

Moreover, soon after, their father mysteriously vanished. And one of the two knives had also gone missing, never to be seen again.

Janus had always suspected his brother of killing their father, yet he never asked Chaos about it since he loved his brother more than his father.

"Do what you're paid for," she spoke before taking out a hood that covered most of her face, hiding her Elzerian features and those peculiar eyes.

The core of this entire operation was Gabriel. Although she was the Princess, her brother had given the command of the entire mission to Gabriel. In this mission, Gabriel was on an equal standing with her, if not higher.

"If we can't force our way in, we'll make them invite us in," Gabriel replied, a plan already in his mind.

Along the way, he had thought a lot about it, wondering if he was doing the right thing. But whenever he thought about how easily Karyk abandoned him and his family, he was filled with anger and rage to the point that he wanted to crush Karyk.

Gabriel landed in the Northern World. Amongst the three remaining worlds in the Upper Realm, it was the most prominent one. It was also the one that was most important other than the Central World.

"You won't say anything," Gabriel reminded the Princess one last time.

The Princess and Ezekiel stepped behind Gabriel, both wondering how Gabriel was going to call Karyk and Aliac out.

They accessed the Portal that connected to Karyk's undead army. Although the Undead Army was connected to Karyk, but for the most part, Karyk had left him with Gabriel.

From the moment Gabriel met Ezekiel, he never used the Army as it was too weak at that point. But now, he had a use for that army.

One after another, he called the Undead Generals out of the Undead Domain of Karyk.

Although Gabriel was quite far from the nearest city, even then the aura of the Undead Army was strong enough to be felt throughout the continent.

Within minutes, all the Undead Generals were in front of Gabriel, one of them being a face that he still hadn't forgotten. It was Raphel that Gabriel himself had summoned.

Amongst all the Generals created by Karyk, only Raphael felt his own to him.

Gabriel told Raphel to stand behind him and close his eyes.nove.lb(1n
