Chapter 910: For her sake
After ensuring that everything on the Island was in order, Karyk left the management to the Undead. Since they were under his command, they could contact him if the Sea King were to arrive. However, it seemed unlikely that this would happen anytime soon. According to the information he received, the Sea King had gone to the Royal City and the invitation was for the present date, making it impossible for him to return in time.
Even if the Sea King rushed back at his fastest speed, it would still take a few days. During this time, Karyk planned to take Gabriel to the border city. He wanted to not only show Gabriel the city and its citizens, but also assess the situation and take any necessary precautions. ultaneously, Karyk also intended to visit the Land of Chaos for a face-to-face meeting with the Celestial Empress. He expressed his confidence to Gabriel, saying, "I'm sure you will love the city as well. If everything goes smoothly, it could be the perfect base for us."
"Even though the Celestial Empress is evil, it looks like she also knows the importance of having an army. The Puppet Master must be training them more," he added. "The Puppet Master, huh. You mentioned him a few times." Gabriel nodded. "Are we going to wait for them?"
"We don't have the time to wait," Karyk answered. "In any case, I was planning to go meet that woman and see if we could still co-operate or if she wants to burn all remaining bridges because of her stubbornness."
Karyk left the city and entered the forest, which was known as the Land of Chaos. Along the way, he could see some signs of battle. It was clear that the citizens had fought the Undead Beasts. But strangely enough, the marks appeared very old. It didn't look like this was a recent battle. "Did they not return from the first time they entered the forest?" he wondered as he went deeper in the forest. He still didn't think about any mishaps. They were just dealing with some undead beasts when they were immortals after all. Unfortunately, the moment he entered the depths of the forest, he started noticing blood. This time, it wasn't the blood of the Undead Beasts. Instead, it was the blood of the Purebloods! And it was all over the place. It was as if the Purebloods were attacked by something. At this point, it didn't appear like training but something much worse...
"Your expressions have gotten worse. I assume something went wrong?" Gabriel asked, observing Karyk. "For the sake of that woman, I hope nothing went wrong. Because if she..." Karyk didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear. He flew deeper into the forest until he saw the entrance of the city where the Celestial Empress was sealed. Accompanying that sight was something much more gruesome.
