Chapter 900: Demolition Squad
"How kind of him to be our guide." Gabriel gazed at the unconscious man, slightly amused by Karyk's tactics. His idea wasn't bad. If they didn't have a guide, all they had to do was drag some back. "Shouldn't you have killed the others? If they notice someone missing, they might return and try to inform the others?" he further asked, thinking about returning for a short time to take care of the rest. Now that they had secured this place, they didn't need to worry about them crossing this portal and alerting the others as long as they were here. "Are you talking about them?" Karyk waved his hand. A portal opened above him, connecting to his spatial storage. Multiple pirates fell out of the portal. All of them were dead. And as they were killed, someone made sure to not harm the bodies much. It was clear who did it. "Looks like we really think the same." Gabriel shook his head lightly. "Next time, I'll keep my mouth shut."
"There's no need." Karyk sent the bodies back. "I prefer having someone to talk to."
Karyk and Gabriel walked towards the shore of the island, seemingly not in any hurry. They had just sent a signal to the base and it was going to take some time before a ship was sent here for them. To make their infiltration more effective, they used disguise to change their faces as they weren't sure if the ship that was sent to pick them up was going to have people who knew them. "In his memories, I saw that there used to be a temple here."
Walking back, Gabriel saw the rubble of an ancient temple in the distance. "It was said that the Temple was cursed so not even the Pirates used to come here."
"But one day, one of the pirate ships discovered that the Temple was left in ruins. It had broken down. The Pirates came to investigate, and that's when they discovered the portal."
Along the way, Gabriel explained to Karyk about the things he had learned from the pirate's memories. "It's interesting. The day this temple broke down, it was the same day that you left the Upper Realm for Elzeira. You wouldn't happen to have anything to do with it, right?" he asked, thinking of something. Karyk shrugged. "What do you take me as? Am I some kind of demolition squad that goes around destroying temples?"
