Gabriel couldn't help but frown. It was clear that the woman considered him the inheritor of the person that the skeleton belonged to.
She wasn't quite wrong either. Even though he didn't meet that person when that person was alive, he had his bones inside his body. Gabriel had everything that the person left behind.
If the Blood Clan in the Nether Realm was called the inheritors of the Blood Monarch, then it made sense that he was called the Inheritor of that person.
"What does this gem do?" Gabriel inquired, keeping the small piece of stone safely in his storage.
The woman only smiled in response. "You'll find out when the time comes."
As she finished, she turned around and started going back. "It's time for you to leave..."
"Wait, I have more questions!" Gabriel exclaimed. "Who is that person? Why was he fighting the Blood Monarch? And many more!'
Unfortunately, his voice only seemed to fall on deaf ears as the surroundings started turning blurry. He only saw the woman waving her hand, without looking back.
After a few seconds, Gabriel felt his body sucked into the void.
He appeared back in the Shadow Garden. However, one thing was different now. He was able to see clearly even when he was at the core of the shadow garden!
Moreover, all his senses had returned! Even though everything felt like a dream at the moment, but he knew that it was real, since he could still see the ring in his storage.
The small orb that transported him to that place was also before him. Moreover, next to the orb, there were two old books.
Gabriel picked up one of the two books, realizing that it was about the Golems! This was an even more advanced version than what was given to the Stein Clan Patriarch.
It contained all the information that he had received. However, it also contained more. The book contained information about humanoid golems that were one tier above the Ancient Golems.
As for the second book, he didn't know why he was given that book. However, the second book appeared to be a story book.
It was as if some fictional stories were written on them. However, Gabriel was careful about it, since there was a good chance that they weren't stories but the truth.
He picked up both of the books and kept them in his storage, before trying to pick up the teleportation orb.
Unfortunately, no matter what he tried, he wasn't able to pick up the orb, as if it was impossible to move it from its place.
Frustrated, Gabriel could only give in. There appeared to be no way to take the orb with him.
In the end, he could just leave like that. He had achieved everything he came here for! If anything, he had achieved even more!
Now that he was able to see clearly, he was quite amazed on his way back. The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful, with lush greenery and colorful flowers surrounding him. The place truly looked like a wonder of this world.
If anything, this was the most beautiful place in the entire world that he had seen in this life.
As he walked through the path, he couldn't help but wonder just how many things were in this world that were unknown to him even now.
He couldn't shake off the feeling that he was involved in more things that he knew about at the moment.
After taking a walk around the Core Zone of the Shadow Garden to make sure that he didn't miss anything, he stepped out of the Core Zone.
Now his vision had completely been restored. It wasn't the same for the woman from the Nether Dragon Clan since she still couldn't see anything.
She could be seen sitting with her back resting against a tree, as if waiting for someone.
As soon as she heard some footsteps in the distance, she raised her eyes.
"Did you succeed?" she asked as she stood up. Even though she opened her eyes, facing him, her vision was completely dark.
"I didn't. I barely survived and returned. There appear to be some living beings inside, with quite a powerful aura. If I'm not wrong, they're as strong as the Beast Monarchs."
Gabriel didn't bother telling her the truth. She wasn't really his friend or his family member after all.
Moreover, giving her information was partially the same as giving the information to almost everyone in the Upper Realm.
She probably wasn't going to hide this from her family. And in return, her family might leak this information.
The Stein Clan and the Northern Dragon Clan used to be two strongest clans once upon a time.
As the Stein Clan fell, the Northern Dragon Clan didn't intervene. No matter how many excuses they gave, it was clear to Gabriel that the Dragon Clan wanted to see the fall of the Stein Clan in the first place, which made them the strongest clan that couldn't be threatened by anyone.
It was clear what the Northern Dragon Clan was going to do once they knew that the Stein Clan had a chance of recovery!
They were going to stay out of it, maintaining their righteous image. However, at the same time, they were going to use other clans as pawns to destroy the Stein Clan.
Even if no one went after the Stein Clan, their own life was going to be in danger, more than it already was.
"Without my vision and senses, I couldn't even think about lasting a minute against them. Fortunately, it appeared as if they were just giving me a warning. So I was allowed to return."
Gabriel didn't stutter even the least when lying openly.
"No wonder that no one had managed to succeed in retrieving the Legacy. It's impossible!" He further stated, letting out a tired sigh.
After that, he once again picked up the woman in his arms. She was his witness... The witness of his so-called failure. So he wanted to take her back.
****
Back in the unknown realm, the blue haired woman was once again sitting next to the pond, gazing at the water.
"Your fall is near... So called Guardian of the Throne... Janus…"
