Chapter 940: Memories of a lifetime

....

As the first rays of sunlight gently filtered through the clouds, a man stirred in his sleep, awakened by the rhythmic sound of waves crashing against the shore. Slowly, he opened his eyes, squinting against the brightness of the morning light. A dull ache throbbed at the base of his skull, causing him to frown and rub his temples.

Confusion clouded his mind as he tried to recall his last memory. Where was he? How did he end up here? The man sat up, his body feeling heavy and sluggish, his mind struggling to shake off the remnants of sleep. As he surveyed his surroundings, the sight before him only added to his bewilderment.

More than a week passed and Karyk didn't move from the beach. He sat there, facing the beach as his last memories returned to him. He remembered his death at the hands of the Generals of Upper Realm. He even remembered his world tier spell and his rebirth. He remembered his conquest of the Upper Realm, as well as his war against the Elzeira. All these memories were making him remember who he really was. And the more he found out, the more shocked he became. It was as if he was watching his life play before him that he had forgotten somehow. Strangely, there was one memory he didn't remember. He didn't remember the outcome of his battle with Aexin. The last thing he remembered was that they had started fighting. Everything after that was a complete blank, until the point he woke up in this unknown place. He could feel the essence of this place. This place wasn't his universe. But it wasn't Elzeira either. It was something very different, but for some reason this place felt more comfortable than any other place. Another thing that surprised him was that his wounds hadn't healed. "Is that because it came from a real Archangel, even if a half blood? It seems my healing doesn't work against them."

There were scar marks all over his body, including a large scar across his chest. Even though Aexin didn't use a sword, but he was still able to leave scars on his body. That was how sharp that strange essence of his was. "If it is a characteristic of all the Archangels, then it seems to be a good choice to have Gabriel leave first. Even his healing might not be able to keep up."

"Hopefully, he is already back with Zena and living a happy life, unaffected by me."

"But I don't understand. What happened during that battle? If I am alive, I suppose I won? Was I thrown into this space after the world was destroyed?"

He didn't know why, but he didn't believe it to be that simple. Even if he was fighting on equal footing with Aexin, his strength was still limited. Unlike Gabriel, he couldn't recover his strength there. So it was only a matter of time before he lost due to that handicap. But here he was, still alive.
