"I sent you some friends..." Karyk responded. "Since I can't use them here, it's better if they accompany you."
Even though Karyk could still access that space whenever he wanted, but because he sent some Death Generals to Gabriel, he was connected to the same space as well.
That also allowed the two of them to keep in touch, without leaving any elemental trace.
As for the Death Generals that found Gabriel, they were the same that Karyk had sent to destroy all traces of his fake identity. The shadow couldn't return to him, since he was under the watch of the Four Generals. That left only Gabriel who could take care of them
Gabriel didn't stop walking, but he kept glancing at his shadow. Just recently, he was getting jealous that Karyk took everyone with him, but to his surprise, he got everything back, and even more.
In the Shadow Region, there wasn't only the Death Army of Gabriel. There were also Jia and the Goddess of Nature.
Thanks to that, he now has more hands to play in the Northern World. He had a force of his own.
"Did you find a way to enter the Central World?" Gabriel asked, remaining calm.
In another place, Gabriel was standing before a window, gazing out at the dark surroundings.
He was in a castle, which appeared to be the most protected place in the world. The entire place was surrounded by spatial storms, which made it impossible for anyone to teleport to this place, or leave this place without knowing a specific movement pattern.
Even for Karyk, it wasn't easy to leave this place. However, strangely enough, the Four Generals weren't leaving either.
"I did find some clues," he answered. "It shouldn't take long."
He further continued, "However, I sense some danger around you. You should be more careful. Too many eyes are on you at the moment, with auras no weaker than the Generals. That's why I asked, where are you?"
Gabriel also had the same feeling. As if too many people were watching him as soon as he reached the Beast Region.
He told Karyk everything, from where he was, to why he came here.
"The Legacy of the Shadow Garden?" Karyk frowned. He remembered hearing something about it the last time he came to the Upper World. However, he was so busy with his own thing, that he didn't have any time to pay attention to it.
"So the auras I feel are the Overlords of the Beast Region... And they are all paying attention to you..." Karyk frowned. Something felt off.
Even if Gabriel was strong, it shouldn't have been enough to attract the attention of the Beast Monarchs, especially when he was hiding his aura.
That meant that there was something more to this.
No matter how much he thought about this, he could only think of three times. Either it was because of his blood and soul connection with Gabriel, or the blood of a true god that was used to make his body. And lastly, it could be because of the Skeleton.
"They must have come across many True Gods already. So it shouldn't be because of blood. The Beast Monarchs are said to be too lazy after all, not paying attention to anything else but their own land and their own people."
Karyk appeared to be talking to himself, but his voice was clearly heard by Gabriel.
"Does that mean it's because of that Skeleton which we found in the Nether World?" Gabriel asked.
"There's only one way to find out. Approach them after you're done here," Karyk responded, placing his hand on the cold window before him.
"Won't that be dangerous? They don't like humans approaching them. At least that's what I heard..." Gabriel commented, with slight hesitation.
"They are paying attention to you. That means they're more curious about you. Moreover, their attention doesn't feel hostile toward you, but filled with curiosity."
Karyk was more sensitive to such things. Thanks to his shadows, he could feel just what kind of attention Gabriel was getting.
If it was really because of the skeleton, then this was the only way that they had to find out more about the Skeleton, the Shadow Garden and what happened in the Nether Realm thousands of years ago!
Gabriel remained silent, thinking about this. He didn't realize that his speed had slowed down because of that.
Behind him, the heir of the Skyler Clan was once again furious. This time, he didn't just push Gabriel.
Instead, he raised his foot to kick Gabriel. Unfortunately for him, the result this time wasn't the same.
Since Gabriel was actively thinking about what to do with the Beast Monarchs, he didn't have enough focus to control his subconscious reaction.
As soon as the kick of the Skyler Clan heir reached near him, he subconsciously reacted.
A spike shot out from the shadow, penetrating the heart of the Skyler Clan heir, making him vomit blood right away.
It was only when he heard the screams of the man that Gabriel came out of his daze, turning around.
Unfortunately, things had already happened. He couldn't change anything.
Initially, he was planning to use the Skyler Clan who had most information about the Shadow Garden to reach the core. This was also a plan he had discussed with the Stein Clan head. Unfortunately, before he could even get out of the Outer Zone, he had already subconsciously screwed this cooperation.
Now that he couldn't change this, he could only act sooner than expected.
The other youngsters in the Skyler Clan Faction were taken aback, as soon as the heir of the clan was killed.
They reacted right away, but before they could attack, shadows appeared behind them, slicing their throats.
One after another, the youngsters of the Skyler Clan dropped on the ground.
The other Clans were also not far from them, so they saw everything clearly, which stunned even them.
Even the Northern Dragon Clan Heir revealed some reaction.
