?832 Chapter 832: Threads

Karyk spread out his senses, covering the surroundings in his domain, being able to observe every small thing within this domain. He didn't even look at the assassin as he avoided every single attack. His entire focus was only on finding one target.

"Found you." After a few seconds, he finally noticed something interesting. freewebno(v)el.com

Among the chaos, Karyk's keen senses picked up on a flicker of energy, a hidden presence lurking in the shadows.

His figure disappeared, completely vanishing. Even the Assassin looked all around, not knowing where to attack anymore. It was as if the target was just... gone.

Hundreds of meters away from him, there stood a hooded figure, looking at the assassin.

"Where did he go? Did he use some escape talisman?" A grim voice came. The hooded figure remained calm and silent, observing the perplexed Assassin with a steady gaze.

"What a pity. He managed to escape. Then again, I doubt he would ever dare to return." The hooded figure mumbled as he turned around. The Assassin, in a Mechanical Manner, walked in his direction, controlled by invisible threads that were impossible to see with the naked eye.

He walked for around five hundred meters before stopping. The hooded figure raised his hand, creating a strange yet familiar pattern in the air.

The pattern in the air illuminated with a soft glow, revealing a hidden portal. The hooded figure stepped through the portal. The assassin also followed inside, still as lifeless.

As the portal closed behind him, the Assassin stood motionless, the invisible threads releasing their hold over it.

Not even the hooded figure realized that Karyk had also accompanied them.

As he appeared on the other side of the portal, he was surprised by the sight before him. He could see an entire city in the distance which looked as majestic as it possibly could. However, the entire city was surrounded by people that looked lifeless, just like the assassin.

Following the instructions of the man, the Assassin followed him, standing next to the thousands of guards that had surrounded the city.

Amongst the thousands, there were also a few very powerful beings, whose aura could still be felt from far away. They were the Generals of Elzeria that had arrived here, only to never return.

Only now Karyk was able to see why they never returned. It was said that the Land of Chaos was a land of lifeless, where only the dead beasts roamed. But seeing the sight before him, Karyk could feel that the reality appeared quite differently.

The hooded figure approached the entrance of the city. With a single wave, the lifeless puppets moved aside, making way for the figure to enter. He entered the city, disappearing inside.

As Karyk observed the hooded figure entering the city, he knew he had to follow. He blended into the surroundings, making sure not to attract any attention from the lifeless guards or powerful beings that surrounded the city.

However, to his surprise, the moment he stepped closer to the city, the ground beneath him lit up, akin to pointing at him. All the lifeless guards looked in the same direction, their auras flaring at the same time.

"So much for being stealthy." Karyk sighed as he waved his hand, a sword taking shape in his grasp.

He wanted to enter the city without getting seen, all because he wanted to know just how this city was related to the beast tides. Unfortunately, his plans were spoiled and he was caught. That completely erased the opportunity of peaceful observation.

Karyk tightened his grip on the sword and prepared himself for the imminent confrontation. The lifeless guards started moving towards him with an eerie sync, their eyes devoid of any emotion or consciousness.

It was as if they were puppets being controlled by some unseen force. The only difference was that they weren't independently being controlled now.

Karyk noticed the hooded figure standing above the city walls, looking in his directions. It was clear that he had also become alert. But other than him, no one else from within the city had come.

Without wasting any time, Karyk unleashed his powers, channeling his energy into the sword. Elzeria was a world where the elements were limited, which made it a dangerous place for using his strength without reserves.

He couldn't recover his strength from his surroundings within this place. That's why, he tried to avoid dragging this fight for longer. He also made sure to use the least amount of his strength that he felt was needed.

The blade ignited with a vibrant blue flame, casting an ethereal glow around him. With each swing of his sword, he effortlessly destroyed the approaching guards, their lifeless puppets crumbling to the ground.

As the battle ensued, Karyk noticed that the powerful guards hadn't even moved. They were staying in the back, observing the fight from a distance. Only the weaker puppets were coming forward, but because their numbers were too high, they were also a problem in itself.

Karyk kept glancing at the hooded figure on the city wall, certain that he was sending the weaker ones because he wanted to find out what he was actually capable of. At the same time, he was trying to exhaust him.

Karyk continued to fight off the approaching guards, his sword slicing through them with precision and ease. This was the least exhausting method for him as he didn't have to manipulate much of his surroundings. All he needed was a sword reinforced with the slightest of his aura.

He could sense the hooded figure's gaze upon him, analyzing his every move. Karyk became even more convinced that he wanted to test his abilities and wear him down.

As Karyk fought, he strategized in his mind. He knew he couldn't let himself be overwhelmed by the sheer number of guards as that was a great waste of his strength. He needed to find a way to get closer to the city wall where the hooded figure stood so he could end it quicker.
