Gabriel was inside the Nether Realm which was completely cut off from the earth. There was no way for him to contact earth without leaving this place. That was also why he wasn't informed about the changes that were happening on earth.
Avilia had already located the City of Abadon. However, infiltrating it was still as hard as ever. Lambard was even more careful ever since his maid was caught last time.
At that moment, the entire city was sealed. Even Avilia didn't try to enter for the time being. She didn't want to alert Lambard and decided to wait for Gabriel to return first.
Looking at the cloudy sky, she couldn't help but wonder what Gabriel might be doing at the moment. However, just as she was thinking about Gabriel, she felt a strange aura coming from all around.
She turned around, glancing back in the direction of the Royal City of Arecia Empire! This aura wasn't ordinary. It was as intense to the aura of the little girl who had single handedly defeated all the Holy Lords.
Avilia didn't know who this aura belonged to. However, now that Gabriel wasn't in the Empire, she couldn't let anything happen to that place. At the same time, she was also glad that Gabriel wasn't there. Even if the person was strong and came for Gabriel, he was going to be disappointed!
Avilia disappeared as she went back to the Royal City of Arecia.
Back in the Royal City, Litvia was still guarding the Garden of Legacy. Even though she couldn't find anything out of place in the garden, she still made sure that no one could enter that place to mess with it.
She also felt a similar aura. She didn't even have to guess who it belonged to, as she saw a Majestic Door appear right outside the garden!
The door was bigger than the door from which they entered. It was evident that someone stronger than them was coming... Probably even the High Envoy who was multiple times stronger than them!
Their entrance doors could directly appear at the hearts of the City! No barrier was able to block them, unlike the doors of entry for ordinary envoys that appeared outside the barriers most of the time.
While they personally had to break the barriers to travel further at times, the High Envoys didn't have that problem.
The majestic door from the Temple of Time opened and two people stepped out.
In the back was Ozen who had gone back to inform the higher ups about what they experienced so that they could deal with the matters personally!
In the front was the one leading the mission. Seeing that person, even Litvia was stunned. It was a young man, who looked like he was barely ten years old. The man was bare handed. However, there was a red gem around his neck.
The gem was smaller than their time crystals. However, the young boy's gem contained a thousand times more power of time!
Litvia wasn't surprised at the young boy's age though. She had already seen that young boy in the Temple many times! What stunned her more was that the Temple of Time sent this person!
She thought they would only send a High Envoy! However, the person they sent was the second in command in the Temple of Time... A being who had lived for over a thousand years!
While others used their life energy when they used their time crystals, growing older with each use. The young man before them was different. The more he used his powers, the younger he became!
Everyone in the temple of Time knew that there were two people they could never offend! First was the Leader of the Temple while the second was this young-looking boy before them!
"Is this the place?"
The young boy had no emotions on his face. It was as if he was no more than an emotionless statue.
Litvia nodded respectfully. "Yes, High Lord. This is the place where the entrance of that Castle appeared! However, the entrance was destroyed by a Holy Lord."
The man raised his brows, looking at the woman before him. "No wonder you're still just an envoy. Your observation skills and judgment are pathetic."
The boy didn't even care about insulting the woman right before her eyes. He also did it without much reaction on his face, as if he expected them to disappoint him before he even came here.
"High Lord, please guide me! What did I miss?" Litvia felt somewhat hurt since she was insulted. However, she was even more curious about what she missed.
"That place is Karyk's castle. Do you think that place and its portal could be destroyed by a Holy Lord with some clone staffs? Even real gods would've had a hard time trying to destroy that place."
The boy had just come here. However, he already guessed a few things. It was impossible for things to have progressed as these people said. If anything, the truth was that these two were fooled.
"This..." Litvia found herself unable to respond. She didn't even think about this before. However, now that the Holy Lord told her personally, she realized how wrong she was. She really missed a great detail!
The Dark Robed man couldn't be killed even by them. So how did Gabriel manage to hold him back all alone while destroying the portal? It didn't make sense now that she thought about it clearly.
The woman could only blame herself. However the boy didn't care.
He simply raised his right hand.
The beautiful red gem around his chest shone brightly as a portal appeared before him! However, the portal wasn't something that could be used to travel! Instead, it was something that could be used to see the past events that happened at a place!
The farther one tried to look in the past, the more strength it took. Fortunately, the young boy was only looking back by a few days so it didn't matter.
Litvia and Ozen stepped behind him, looking in the portal as well which started playing some scenes of the past.
Through the portal, they saw an empty garden where Gabriel was standing in the center.
There were some special stones placed in four corners of the garden. Moreover, Gabriel placed a black book in the center.
"The Book of Death." For the first time, the young boy's expression changed. However, it lasted only for a brief moment before he returned to normal.
"It looks like he really is back... That bastard…"
