The wall of the mansion broke apart and a figure came flying out, falling on the ground. Blood was coming out of his lips and he felt that some of his bones were also broken.
However, the man didn't move. Instead, it was as if he was frozen in fear as he felt an even scarier aura around him.
The Patriarch of the Wester Clan turned around, finding Karyk standing right behind him. He had already taken care of everyone else in the clan. Only the Patriarch of the Wester Clan was left.
On the other side, Gabriel also jumped out from the broken wall.
The patriarch of the Wester Clan felt an impending doom.
That day, two great clans disappeared from the Southern World, causing a great turmoil. Almost everyone knew who was behind this. They also understood that Karyk had some enmity with the Wester Clan. However, soon after the Wester Clan, another clan was destroyed which made people even more confused.
More than confused, they were scared as they remembered what happened a thousand years ago. It appeared to be a repeat of that. However, nothing else happened after the two clans were destroyed, as if that was all.
Karyk didn't make any moves anymore. Instead, he disappeared like a ghost, making it impossible to find him.
It was as if he was a demon who just appeared in this world to create chaos and then disappear in the midst of darkness after achieving his goal. No one knew where he was.
While the entire Southern World was wondering about his whereabouts, most of the Major Clans had strengthened their security. They didn't know if they could be the next to be attacked. However, they couldn't leave anything to change.
On the other hand, the Southern General had even more headaches. It was as if it was the repeat of the past. He couldn't help but curse Karyk.
"Even last time, that guy created chaos in my domain and now as well! Why doesn't that brat go and mess with other Generals! What is wrong with his head!"
The Southern General slammed his fist on the table before him. The table broke apart and shattered into pieces.
His subordinates watched in silence, unsure of how to calm down their furious commander. But the Southern General knew he had to take action fast or else it would be too late. Unfortunately, finding Karyk was like finding a needle in this vast world.
He had thoughts about canceling the banquet and focusing on the situation more. However, in the end, he decided to go forward with it. It was also the meeting between the four generals after all!
Even though he hated to admit it, he needed the help of others to draw this rat out.
****
While the world was guessing who Karyk was going to target next, Karyk was calmly sitting in the secret hall in the depths of the Southern World.
In his hand, there was an invitation token to the Southern General's banquet which was going to be held in a secret realm. Only with these invitation tokens could one enter that place.
That is why he had destroyed two clans and gathered the tokens that they had received.
Now all four of them had the invitations to attend the prestigious banquet where the Four Generals were going to be gathered together.
"Do you think the Goddess of Light will attend the banquet as well?" Gabriel asked Karyk.
Even though the banquet was being kept in the Southern World, but be careful all the Generals were attending, the scope of the banquet was increased and many prominent leaders from all four worlds were invited. At least that's what Gabriel had heard when he left this place.
He was sure that the Goddess of Light should've carved an important identity in the last thousand years. So she should've received the invitation as well. If she was going to be there, then it was even better!
Karyk looked up, shaking his head lightly. "I doubt she'd show herself now that she knows I'm here. But it's only a matter of time before she runs out of patience."
"She had placed a lot of cards to control me, but in the end, she still failed," he further continued. "As soon as she realizes that the corruption failed, she'll start getting desperate. That day isn't far."
He glanced at his hand. The strange black patterns of death were spreading out in his hand as well. He was extremely close to complete control of the Supreme Element of Death. However, to cover the last stretch was harder than said, since it needed a lot of external help.
He couldn't achieve complete control naturally since it was harder than climbing the tallest mountain in the world without any magic or any equipment.
However, he also knew just what exactly he needed to achieve his goal. He needed to enter the Temple of Elements, which was in the Central World.
He was sure that this was also why the Goddess of Light had betrayed him! The Temple of Elements was said to be connected to the true core of the World, which was helpful in increasing a person's control over their elements.
Unfortunately, entering that place was even harder since the Central World was under the control of the master of Upper Realm. Going there was directly going against him.
Without his permission, no one could enter that place. It was clear that even after betraying him, the Goddess of Light had failed to get his permission to enter that place. That's why she was trying her best to remove her from the Central World with Karyk's help.
Unfortunately, Karyk also knew how hard it was. He still wasn't strong enough to face the King of the Upper Realm. Fortunately, that man never left the Central World or it would've been extremely easy for that guy to find him.
It was also why he gave management of the other upper realm words to his generals.
