Chapter 1023: Taking you with me

As the old man's life was snuffed out, his last thoughts were of the fairy. He didn't understand. How could she not come out to help them? Did she really not feel anything? How was it possible?

His eyes closed as he took his last breath before being devoured by the darkness.

Karyk stood amidst the carnage, his eyes scanning the village.

The scent that had drawn him here was stronger than ever. The fairy's house didn't stand out much. Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

If it wasn't for her aura, he wouldn't have thought that she lived at a place like that, especially considering what he learned about them from the memories he devoured.

The fairies in this world weren't like the rumors. They were materialistic beings who loved living in luxury. They were called as gods of nature, but they had long abandoned that identity.

The fairies were corrupted by this world as well. It was said that there was not a single tree in the city of fairies. Instead, it was a modern looking city with every luxury that one could desire.

They were also not creatures who loved everyone. Instead, they hated other species, considering them disgusting.

That's also why the fairies didn't allow any outsiders inside their city, not wanting their presence to make their city dirty. If it wasn't for them wanting to protect their interests, Karyk was sure they wouldn't have sent one of them here either.

Karyk approached the door, placing his hand on the wooden surface. He could feel the powerful enchantments woven into the very fabric of the structure.

It wasn't the work of the elves either. It was something that was done by the owner of the house who didn't want any disturbance.

"That's correct." Karyk said, not moving much.

"In that case, you are truly unlucky. If I wasn't there, you would have survived. But I just had to be here to crush you," the fairy said, smiling arrogantly.

Karyk didn't respond much to the woman's words. Instead, her shadows started becoming more lively. Even the shadows of the clones started becoming bigger as they were coming back to life.

There were also undead elves that had aimed arrows at the fairy's head without her knowledge. With a single command, he could kill this arrogant fairy and all her clones.

"I will give you one last opportunity. Surrender and let me take you to the Elders for punishment!" the fairy told Karyk.

Karyk was quite interested in the proposal. Wasn't it the same as taking a lion in the den of sheep? Even if he surrendered and was led there, he didn't feel as if there was any loss for him.

Still, he didn't want to accept the proposal. With devouring this woman, he could open a portal himself. Moreover, going there after taking the abilities of a fairy was more useful than going otherwise.

"What a pity. If I couldn't open the portal, I would have accepted your proposal right away," he told the fairy, sighing.

"In that case, you shall die!" The fairy clenched her teeth, saying with hostility.

"I agree. In that case, you shall die," Karyk nodded. Just as the Fairy attacked Karyk, a myriad of shadows cake into life, each carrying a scythe.

The scythes sliced through the fairies and their clones. Not giving them a proper chance, the undead elves also shot the arrows that impaled their skull.

The fairy was in disbelief as an arrow penetrated through her skull. No arrow should have been able to hurt her, but something was wrong with the arrows of the elves. It was something that even her divinity couldn't block.

Even as she was dying, she still had a smile on her face as her attack landed on Karyk. Even in death, she was going to take him with her.
