Lambard had refined almost all the artifacts that he had found throughout the years... At least the ones that he was strong enough to refine. Because of that, he was connected to his Artifacts.
Feeling that his puppets were destroyed, he found it hard to believe! The two puppets were supposed to be unbreakable.
He flicked his sleeves. A bright light shot out from inside his sleeves, taking the shape of a human sized mirror.
The mirror initially showed Lambard's reflection yet when he activated the mirror, the scene changed and revealed what happened at the entrance of the City!
His lips parted in shock as he saw a young man, dressed in spotless snow white clothes. With a simple gesture of his, two unbreakable artifacts level puppets were destroyed.
There was no way he couldn't recognise that person! He had seen the young man a little over a year ago after all! At that time, he had just become a mage and had received a rare element!
After that point, he asked Gabriel to work for him and when Gabriel failed, he took back the items he gave him, without thinking about the situation carefully.
He couldn't believe that Gabriel became so strong in such a short time! Even with the Holy Grimoire of a supreme element, this speed of growth was impossible! He found it hard to believe but the scene was playing right before his eyes!
Another thing he noticed was that when Gabriel came here for the first time, he appeared somewhat ignorant and naive. He was so weak that he could be crushed like an ant!
However, this time, he looked as if Gabriel was a deity and they were the ants before him! He didn't know why he had a feeling like that. Were the rumors correct? Gabriel was the reincarnation of that Calamity called Karyk?
Even though Lambard lived inside the city, not revealing himself, but even he had heard the stories going around in the World, including all the rumors. He already partially believed this since this information was spread by the Temple of Time. But still, watching it with his own eyes was a completely different experience!
"This bastard, instead of going to the Royal City to face the Temple of Time, he came here to bully me?!" Lambard's face turned slightly pale.
He didn't believe that the city could remain intact if Gabriel attacked! The City was a Demigod level artifact while Gabriel was a God! It was only a matter of time before the City was destroyed!
Lambard wasn't naive enough to think that he could stop Gabriel himself! At best, he could only delay the inevitable!
He strengthened the barrier around the city. At the same time, he sent a message to his informant inside the city, telling them to inform the Temple of Time that Gabriel had appeared!
If anyone could deal with Gabriel at the moment, it was the Temple of Time. He just had to hold back for a little!
Gabriel stood before the City of Abbadon. In fact, it wasn't his first time here. When he lived as Karyk, he had come to this city quite a few times.
He also knew Demigod Abbadon who created this city. Gabriel could still remember that even Abbadon used to come to the gates to welcome him, shivering that he was going to destroy the entire city if he was offended!
"It seems like Abbadon fell in that war." Gabriel shook his head lightly. Only when a Demigod fell could their artifacts be taken by others after all.
He didn't think much about the past. Many people had died at that time, mostly because of his battle with the upper realm! Even though those people weren't attacked directly, they still died as collateral damage of the battle.
It was a really large-scale battle where even the aftershocks of the attacks were enough to destroy continents, let alone killing some demigods!
He could see that the barrier around the city had strengthened. It was clear that Lambard knew that he had arrived.
"What a pity that you can't bring even a fraction of this Artefact's defensive power."
Gabriel didn't care about the strength of the barrier. Even though he wasn't at his strongest, his control over his element of death was stronger than it used to be in the past.
"If it was Abbadon himself maintaining the barrier, it could've been a little challenging at the moment. However you... You're still a few centuries too young to try to stop me."
He placed his finger on the barrier that was said to be unbreakable! The aura of death covered Gabriel's hands. Various universal laws intertwined at the tip of his finger.
One second... Within one second, the cracking sound resounded in the golden barrier before the entire barrier shattered like a barrier made from a thin sheet of glass.
Back inside the Mansion, Lambard coughed out a mouthful of blood as soon as the barrier broke! His face was filled with horror!
His barrier that could hold back two Holy Lord for days without any trouble was broken with just a simple touch from Gabriel! That kind of strength... It wasn't something a human should've possessed!
At that moment, he started believing the rumors even more!
Unfortunately, it was too late now. Even if he tried to teleport the entire city, that wasn't going to change anything. He had a feeling that Gabriel could easily find them with how he was currently!
Moreover, even if he teleported the City, Gabriel was going to go with them since he had already stepped inside the city!
"I can only abandon the City and escape myself!"
Lambard clenched his fists, making a decision to abandon the City and leave himself! When it came to his life, he didn't want to take any chances. If he wasn't such a coward, he wouldn't have stayed inside the city for so long, without daring to go out!
He hastily called his maid while he took all his artifacts that he didn't want to leave behind!
The maid was slightly stunned to see Lambard so scared, even when he was inside the city! She also noticed the barrier was broken, which meant a powerful enemy was here! She didn't dare delay either.
Lambard held his maid's hands before raising a small sphere which was a teleportation treasure, one of his life saving treasures!
A Spatial Aura surrounded him and his maid.
Lambard's heart was racing but he still believed that he could escape successfully! Unfortunately, his face soon turned pale as the spatial aura completely disappeared before it could send them away!
Moreover, footsteps resounded behind him! Someone else had entered the room.
