Chapter 854 854: Erasing the Bloodline

He stopped before Karyk, who was standing in a grand hall, as if waiting for them.

The old man went down on his knees, respectfully greeting Karyk. "This old man greets the City Lord."

Karyk extended a hand to help the old man up, his eyes filled with compassion.

He recognized the pain and sadness in the old man's eyes. He could also see some disbelief.

With a gentle smile, Karyk said, "Please rise, my friend. Your presence here honors me."

As the old man got back on his feet, his eyes glistened with gratitude.

"Thank you, City Lord, for your kindness and generosity," the old man exclaimed. "I never thought I would have the opportunity to stand in this grand hall... The hall that my son gave his life to protect."

As he spoke, his voice carried his pain. For a father, losing his son in any circumstance was a tragedy, but to know that his son had given his life to protect others was both a source of pride and profound sorrow.

"Your son was a hero of this city, as were many others. And I promise, their sacrifices won't be in vain. The people of this city will certainly have the opportunity to take revenge for what they lost! I'll make sure of that!"

As Karyk spoke, he reached out his hand, placing them on the man's forehead. "This might hurt a little."

As he spoke, he sent his aura inside the man's body, albeit only a trace of it. After comprehending the knowledge of this world, he had a better understanding of the bloodlines of this world.

As the process ended, the old man fell to his knees, his breathing heavy. He subconsciously wanted to curse Karyk for hurting him by lying about making him stronger. But before he could utter a single word, he felt shocked, seeing his reflection on the floor.

As he caught a glimpse of his reflection, he couldn't help but smile with delight. His eyes had also tried violet like that of Purebloods. Feeling rejuvenated, he now had a newfound sense of energy.

He could also feel that a newfound strength was coursing through his body, making him feel a strength like never before. It was as if everything Karyk had said was true. He had actually removed the restriction on his body.

The old man didn't know that his other bloodline was erased, but even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared.

He repeatedly thanked Karyk. The man before him truly felt like a god who could cause miracles. With Karyk at the helm, the old man truly felt that they should turn the tides of the coming battle.

Even the Puppet Master didn't understand Karyk's true intention when he said he wanted to create his own army. He had wondered how mixed bloods could challenge the Purebloods. But he hadn't realized that this was the exact problem that Karyk was going to solve.

However, Karyk didn't just turn them into Purebloods. He also left a small seed of death inside their hearts while erasing their main bloodline. With this, he could control their life and death if they ever tried to betray him.

"This is just the beginning. We have a long way to go." Karyk told the old man, patting his shoulder. "When you're out, send the next person in."

The old man nodded. He stood up and quickly left the grand hall. For Karyk, the old man was a walking advertisement. Even the ones who were previously hesitant and on the fence could turn their thoughts around with such a great walking advertisement.

For the rest of the day, citizens kept entering the Grand Hall, and leaving excitedly. Every encounter took only a few seconds.

However, even after being this fast, Karyk was only able to awaken around twenty thousand people throughout the day before the sun started setting.
