The Beast Monarchs were surprised that Gabriel was leaving.
Even though the young man had been telling them all this time that he was soon going to leave, when it was finally time for him to leave, they were still taken aback.
They had expected him to stay there, at least until he was able to control his strength to his fullest.
They were somewhat worried that Gabriel's link to them was going to be discovered and then he was going to be killed. In fact, they were surprised that he wasn't already killed.
They tried to convince Gabriel to stop. However, none of them used force. They only used their reasoning to stop the young man.
As Gabriel was walking out of the Beast Region, he noticed a figure in the sky.
Before long, the figure landed right before him, making the entire ground tremble, as if it was a short earthquake.
The figure belonged to a Beast Monarch who had the Characteristics of a Lion, having claws that could rip even gods to pieces.
The Beast Monarch was still holding onto a jar of wine, which was filled to the brim. Not a single droplet had fallen out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWithout saying a word, the Beast Monarch extended the jar of wine towards Gabriel.
Gabriel hesitated for a moment, but then reached out to take the jar. As soon as he took it, the Monarch turned around. "I know that you won't be staying behind. I can see that you have something important to do outside. However, just remember one thing..."
The Beast Monarch took a few steps away, at a calm pace. However, he hadn't walked far, before he continued, "We couldn't save that guy, because we were too cowardly. And I don't want to make the same mistake again."
The Beast Monarch glanced back. For the first time, something akin to a smile could be seen on his face.
"So if you need any help, don't hesitate. No matter what, I'll be there for you, even if it means alerting the Guardian of the Throne! So don't hesitate."
"You-" Gabriel was momentarily dazed. However, just as he was about to speak, he saw the Beast Monarch jump, disappearing just like he had come.
Only a small talisman could be seen floating where he was previously standing.
The small talisman floated to Gabriel, until it landed on his other hand.
As Gabriel held onto the talisman, he felt that it was connected to the Beast Monarch. Just as he had said, it was something that could be used as the last resort to contact the Beast Monarchs and ask for their help once.
Gabriel kept the talisman safely in his storage, as he glanced at the direction where the Beast Monarch had disappeared.
He took the sip of the wine that the Beast Monarch had given him, as he continued walking away from the Beast Region.
With each sip of the wine, he felt that his aura was getting stronger. The wine appeared to have something special.
"What a gift..." Gabriel muttered, shaking his head lightly.

Three days later, he finally stepped out of the Beast Region.
When he entered the Beast Region, he only expected to find the Inheritance to strengthen himself. However, the reality was quite different.
The inheritance that he was after, turned out to be quite evil and useless. On the other hand, he received the gifts that he didn't even expect, uncovering the mystery behind the strange marks on the bones.
As he walked away from the Beast Region, Gabriel couldn't help but feel grateful for the unexpected turn of events. He knew that he still had a long journey ahead, but now he felt more confident and prepared for whatever challenges may lie ahead. He had everything that he needed, and even more.

One week passed and Gabriel finally returned to the Stein Clan. He had no intentions of teaching the vile method to the Stein Clan.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven though he himself had taken many lives, anything was better than the torment people were put through, to make these golems.
This time, he didn't need anyone to guide him inside.
He still had the token given to him by the Patriarch of the Stein Clan,which allowed him to pass through the security. However, even without the token, he had faith in his abilities.
Gabriel didn't directly go to the Stein Clan Mansion. Instead, he flew toward the Giant Golems, standing guard.
He landed before the Golems, taking a careful glance at them.
The two Golems remained standing like proper lifeless statues. However, Gabriel could now feel why he felt so familiar to them. It was because of two reasons!
The first reason was because he was connected to the Element of Death through Karyk, so he could feel connected to the souls inside the golems, without even knowing.
And the second reason was because the method of creating these Golems was said to be created by the woman who he had seen in the Shadow Garden. And she used the knowledge of the man that the Skeleton belonged to. In a way, he was connected to these golems.
Not just connected, but now that he knew how they were created, he could even use them to the extent that he wanted.
He stepped closer to the Golems, walking in the air. He placed his fingers on the chest of one of the golems
Now that he knew about this, he could pass through every security mechanism in the Golems, feeling every particle of the golems for himself.
He didn't even need to surpass the seal of the Stein Clan Founder since he had a higher level version of the same method, while the Stein Clan Founder used the incomplete method.
Gabriel was even able to see the souls that were used to create the Golems, and he actually found the sight to be an abomination!
If he wasn't strong mentally, he could've easily vomited at the sight. None of the souls were intact. They were merged into something abysmal. Many human parts should also be seen inside!
