Chapter 843 843: Final
"You want me to free you?" Karyk asked, slightly taken aback. "How can I even do that?"
From what he realised, the woman had been trapped here for thousands of years. If it was that easy for her to be freed, it would've happened long ago. Although she couldn't step out of the city, the hooded figure could.
He wasn't weak either, so he should've been able to help her if needed. It was clear that she needed something that even the man in the corner couldn't do. And he had a bad feeling about this.
"You don't have to know yet. First, leave this place. He will guide you towards what I need," the woman spoke, before gesturing to the hooded figure to stand next to Karyk.
"Why can't you tell me yet?" Karyk frowned, finding this entire deal troublesome. It was much easier to forcefully read her memories. If only the man hadn't interfered, he would've already had his answers.
"Because even if I tell you, you won't be able to free me. It's not the time yet. When the time comes, you'll know what I need."
The woman still didn't answer Karyk. At the same time, she kept her guard up, observing Karyk's every moment, not wanting to make the same mistake as before.
"I don't have much time. How long will I have to wait for my answers?"
Karyk wanted to solve this problem as soon as he could, as he only had limited time before the Elzerians were to attack his world.
"You'll have plenty of time, even after freeing me. And when we fight together, it'll only help you," the woman stated. "I promise that if you get me out of here, you'll get to know something that can turn the tides of this battle for you."
"What a headache..."
Karyk started thinking to himself, observing his surroundings, wondering if it was beneficial to use some drastic methods. However, after thinking about it for some time, he dropped the plan.
In the next moment, Karyk felt some spatial disturbance around him. The assassin fell out of the Spatial Portal, falling to his butt.
He looked around him, wondering if he was caught.
"You are..." The moment he saw the hooded figure, he was horrified. He crawled back in fear before coming across the feet of someone else.
As he raised his head, he saw Karyk.
"You're caught as well?" He asked, his fear only increasing. Even Karyk was caught. That meant he had no escape.
"What kind of assassin are you, to be so scared?" Karyk asked, grabbing the man's collar. He raised him in the air, helping him stand.
"Don't worry. He won't kill you. He's a friend."
"A... friend...?" The man looked with bewilderment at Karyk. "Wasn't he planning to kill you just a short hour ago?"
"Weren't you also trying to kill me a short time ago?" Karyk asked in return, bursting in laughter.
Hearing Karyk's words, the assassin felt silent as a shade of embarrassment spread across his face. He couldn't believe he had thought that he could kill Karyk. He was like an ant trying to kill a dragon.
"As I said, he won't be killing you. Unless you do something worth getting killed." Karyk smiled at the assassin, but the meaning behind his smile was clear.
The Assassin's back was drenched in cold sweat. He promised himself he was never going to try to betray Karyk. This guy was too scary as he could even turn the hooded man to his side and return alive from the Land of Chaos.
