There was no pattern in which cities were being destroyed. They were all so random. The only common thing was that they were all so populated.
To stay one step ahead of the others, Gabriel decided to try another method.
He commanded all the Undeads in the army to spread out, each of them going to a different city.
No matter which city was attacked, the Undead assigned to that city could immediately contact the Generals and maybe even hold out until they arrived.
On his instructions, all the Undead Soldiers left alone, to take their places.
....
Three more days passed, and a few more cities were destroyed. However, finally on the fourth day, Gabriel received some information from the General who was always following them.
"Found him!" Gabriel exclaimed, as he raised his right hand, creating another word that he didn't use before.
Thanks to his constant practice, his spiritual strength had also increased, allowing him to bring down his Consumption and unlock some new words.
As soon as he finished the character in the air, the strange character split apart into multiple specks of light, creating a portal before him, connecting to the place where he received the information from.
Gabriel stepped inside the Portal with the Death General, to finally see just who it was, and stop that person from awakening whatever he was trying to awaken.
There was no one else who could stop that person after all, since the Generals hadn't returned for some reason.
In another place, a Portal opened up. From the portal, Gabriel stepped out. However, as soon as he came out, he felt a disgusting scent in the air, which made him feel like he was suffocating.
There was a rotten smell all around him, as he heard screams all around him.
He could see people's skin melting, as if they were in contact with some acid.
At the same time, there were others who couldn't even move. Multiple strange creatures were walking all around the city, slaughtering people.
In the sky, he saw a man standing proudly. The man was wearing a long red robe that fluttered with the wind. However, the most eye-catching taking was the strange statue in the man's hands.
The man was talking to the statue, looking a bit crazy.
"That statue!" The Death General exclaimed. "How's it still intact?"
He told Gabriel that it was the same statue that he saw in the Southern Realm. For it to still be intact, it didn't make sense.
Gabriel also frowned. Even though he didn't have the Element of Death, he was still connected to Karyk and could feel the aura of death.
He could see a strange mist rising from the dead bodies that was flying straight to the statue, being absorbed by it.
As Gabriel looked at the statue, he was suddenly taken aback, since he saw the statue's eyes move.
It was as if the statue had glanced at him out of nowhere! It even turned its head, as if it was alive!
****
As Gabriel faced a strange sight of himself, he didn't realize that something big was happening in the background. There was another place which needed him.
The world that was turned into his own Personal Domain by Karyk was sealed from the outside world by him. However, even after all that, it still wasn't completely protected.
The beautiful sky above was bright blue. Yet, there was a strange vibe in the air that made everything seem eerie and foreboding.
Karyk's sister was training, trying to learn the art of Summoning from Avilia in the outside garden of their Palace.
It had been a long time since Karyk left, and both the ladies were wondering when he was going to return.
After all this time, the world was finally at peace and life had gotten normal. Most of the people had almost stopped caring about the war that took place.
The Churches of Elements had disappeared, and no one missed them. People also stopped awakening Elements in the world. And the ones who did have elements joined the army, which was now managed by Avilia in Karyk's stead.
This world was finally what Karyk and Gabriel wanted it to be. However, at that moment, something was about to change.
In the distant sky, the barrier cast by Karyk broke apart. Even the barrier couldn't stop the aura of the Dark Abyss, that could only be used by one person!
It was Caen... The Prince from the Realm of Gods. However, he wasn't alone! All his friends were here with him.
Even though his mother refused to tell him anything and prohibited him from leaving, but even his mother couldn't stop the Abyssal Energy that her son had received from her husband.
It was the energy that even scared gods, since it could surpass most of the defenses. It was also what had made Chaos so scary, that many people tried to kill him, or prevent him from using this energy.
Unfortunately, despite the Queen's efforts, she couldn't stop Caen, who found out where the God of Lightning was killed!
Even though this world was now someone's Domain, he didn't care about it, as he arrived here to find the person who killed his men, and to make their lives a living hell.
As Caen entered Karyk's Domain, he felt some restriction. However, it didn't matter to him.
"A mere Lower World Domain wants to stop me?" He raised his right hand.
Multiple pitch black portals appeared all around the world, connecting this world to the Abyss!
Throughout millions of portals, the beautiful blue sky had suddenly turned black.
Avilia was also taken aback, as she looked at the sky.
From the millions of portals, multiple Abyssal creatures came out, landing all around the world. Most of the creatures could fly, and were strong enough to destroy cities all alone.
The Abyssal Creatures kept ravaging through the cities, destroying everything in sight.
In the sky, Caen's friends watched the sight, enjoying. For them, it was like watching ants struggle to survive.
With his arms folded, Caen remained in the sky, waiting for the other candidate to show himself so he could kill that person.
He only knew that the person was here, but he didn't know who it was.
"If you had the strength to kill my men, you should have the strength to reveal yourself! Stop hiding!" After a few minutes, he spoke.
His voices echoed all around the world.
Within a few minutes, most of the cities were destroyed, and billions of people were killed. However, Caen showed no concern.
