834 Chapter 834: Forgotten Name

Above all else, he still couldn't control how Karyk was able to cast his domain in a place like this. Usually, casting a domain consumed a large amount of energy. However, that wasn't possible in this place.

No one from Elzeria should've been able to cast a Domain in this place. If they could, then the city would've fallen a long time ago.

"So how...?" He mumbled under his breath.

As he was lost in thoughts, he sensed danger. The General of Elzeria, eager to wash his humiliation with blood, attacked the hooded figure, mounting an even stronger attack. It was as if he had already gone mad in anger and didn't think about conserving any strength. All he wanted was to rip the hooded figure in two.

The hooded figure swiftly dodged the General's attack, his movements fluid and precise. As the General's attack missed its mark, the hooded figure retaliated with a swift counterattack, aiming for the General's weak spots with invisible threads.

Suffering from the invisible threads once, the General wasn't as ignorant as before. He managed to defend against the hooded figure's strikes, cutting the invisible threads.

The first time, he had relied on his eyes which was why he lost. But this time, more than his eyes, he relied on his senses.

The battle between the two powerful beings intensified, their attacks and defenses clashing with incredible force. Karyk watched from the sidelines, analyzing their every move.

He could sense that the hooded figure was skilled and experienced, but there was something different about him. He appeared slightly weaker than the General in this battle, but Karyk could feel that it wasn't all there was to him. It was as if he intentionally wasn't showing all he had.

lightsnοvεl Karyk wondered if he was keeping his secrets because he wanted to use his full strength against him. For now, he didn't have the correct answer.

Realizing that the person wasn't going to reveal his secrets, Karyk felt like watching was a waste of time. He left a shadow of his behind. Through his shadow, he observed the battle. While his real self shifted its attention to the other side of the wall, which was the actual city.

He jumped down the wall, being separated from the hooded figure through a wall.

As Karyk landed on the other side of the wall, he found himself within the confines of the unfamiliar city. The atmosphere here was even more eerie and unsettling. The buildings were crumbling, their once magnificent facades now worn and decayed. The streets were littered with debris and overgrown with weeds.

As he cautiously made his way through the desolate streets, Karyk couldn't shake off the feeling that he was being watched. Shadows seemed to move and shift. In this place, he could feel the heavy scent of death.

It was as if death hadn't taken place within the city but the city itself had taken place inside death. The air was heavy with a sense of impending danger.

As he explored further, Karyk stumbled upon an open underground passage. It was from within this passage where he felt the strongest scent of death.

His mind was conflicted. On one side, he wanted to go deeper within the city and if possible, check the core region where he could see a majestic place. However, on the other side, he wanted to check the underground passages that increased his curiosity.

He was the God of Death, and such a scent of death fascinated him. It was dark, but his curiosity compelled him to venture inside the underground passage.

Through the stairs, he went down. However, even after he kept going down the stairs for half an hour, he didn't reach the end. It was as if the stairs were taking him straight to hell.

He could feel the temperature dropping drastically the further he descended. The air grew musty and he could hear strange noises, akin to inaudible cries.

After what felt like an eternity, Karyk finally reached the end of the stairs. As he stepped onto solid ground, he was met with a chilling sight. The entire underground passage was filled with the corpses of beasts, their lifeless bodies scattered across the floor.

As far as his eyes could see, there were beast corpses. He couldn't even count exactly how many there were as the passage was covering the entire city. As per his expectations, there were millions of such beast corpses.

He had never even seen such beasts as he was seeing in this place. But some of them matched the description of the beasts he had heard about from Arkam. These were the beasts that every year attacked the Border City... At least a few of them.

The species that Arkam had described was here. But strangely, that felt like the weakest. In the depths of the tunnel, Karyk could feel the corpses of beasts that were thousands of times more powerful, one that could raze the border City to ground in an instant.

If those beasts came to life, Karyk wasn't sure if even the General of Elzeria could match them. But what caught his attention was the strange energy emanating from their bodies. It was a dark, twisted force that seemed to be pulsating with an otherworldly power.

He wasn't sure what was happening in this place. So far, nothing had made sense. Within the Land of Chaos, there was an actual city. And within the city, there were these beasts.

"Is it the Capital of the Celestial Dynasty as mentioned in the book?" Karyk muttered. He had more questions than answers at this point.

Karyk cautiously approached one of the creatures. As he got closer, he realized that the dark energy surrounding them was not inherently malevolent, but it did have traces of strong emotions.

He decided to leave and continued searching. However, before he could move, he heard a voice.Thɪs chapter is updated by NovelEnglish.net

"Celestial Dynasty... How long has it been since I last heard that forgotten name..."

Karyk turned towards the source of the voice.
