"Where is my sister?" Karyk asked Avilia. No matter where he searched, he didn't find the soul of his sister, as if it had simply disappeared.
It wasn't just the soul of his sister that he couldn't find, but there were also a few other souls as well.
Avilia didn't know how to respond. Ever since she had turned into a spirit, her memory had become quite unstable. She didn't know much from the moment she died to the moment she saw Karyk.
The last thing she remembered was Caen torturing Karyk's sister.
She told Karyk everything that had happened to his sister, and how torturous it was. In the end, she suggested that it was highly likely that his sister's soul was completely destroyed.
Hearing the events that took place, Karyk's fists tightened. He couldn't bear the thought of his sister suffering such pain, and a surge of anger consumed him.
However he was certain about one thing. It was that his sister's soul wasn't destroyed. There were no signs of such destruction which left only two possibilities.
One was that her soul was entrapped and taken by someone. And the other possibility was that she was still alive.
From the portal behind him, the Lord of Upper Realm was looking at him. He didn't step out of the portal, as if he wasn't allowed to leave the Upper Realm.
Karyk looked at the Lord of Upper Realm through the Portal. Seeing the portal, a thought flashed in his mind. He realized that there was another portal in this place. It was the Portal of the Nether Realm!
If Alion was alive, along with his sister then they only had one possible place they could escape to. It was the Nether Realm whose portal was always open in this endless space.
Thinking to this point, he made up his mind to search the Nether Realm. At this point, nothing held more importance to him than to find his sister and Alion.
With determination in his heart, he stepped towards the Portal of the Nether Realm, unsure of what awaited him on the other side.
As he approached the swirling vortex, a surge of Mystical Energy could be felt around it. The energy was overwhelming and it only became stronger because of the aura of death outside.
Karyk told Avilia to enter the portal to the Upper Realm and stay with the Lord of the Upper Realm for the time being, before he entered the Nether Realm.
It was his third time in the Nether Realm, and the first two times, he had caused quite a commotion in this place. But this time, he didn't intend to cause a commotion. He only wanted to find some people. And if he couldn't find them, then it was the time for commotion.
As soon as Karyk stepped inside the Nether Realm, he came across a huge army of the Nether Realm, as if the army was waiting for any intruder.
The army included people from three Great Nether clans, each having their own special skills and weapons.
Seeing another person step inside the portal, the Generals from the three Great Nether clans immediately commanded their soldiers to surround Karyk.
However, it was only after they commanded their people that they clearly saw who the person was. Seeing Karyk's face, all the Generals suddenly froze in fear and disbelief.
All of them were informed that Karyk was killed by the person who had destroyed the other world. But to see him right before their eyes, they were in disbelief. What was even more surprising was that he appeared even stronger.
There were strange mystical marks that could be seen all over his skin, and those marks appeared to be alive as well.
"Surrender and you won't be attacked," the General from the Nether Blood Clan exclaimed, raising his spear toward Karyk. In his left hand, shackles appeared that were responsible for sealing a person's magic.
Karyk looked at the army of tens of thousands. Initially, he would've had a hard time fighting so many people since there was no way to recover energy in this place. One had to conserve their energy as much as they could, but it was different now.
With his final evolution, he was beyond the Restrictions of this lifeless world.
He landed on the ground, merely a few meters away from the Nether Blood Clan General.
The General subconsciously took a step back, not understanding why he felt so suppressed.
Karyk didn't attack the man. He simply raised his hand, creating two images in the air, one belonging to his sister and another to Alion.
"I'm looking for these two. Have you seen them?" he asked.
The General saw the two people, growing stunned. Not only had he seen them, but he was the person who had placed shackles around them.
Karyk noticed the man's men's expressions shift. It was clear that the person had seen those two people.
"Where are they?" Karyk asked.
The General glared back at Karyk. "We don't work for you. We'll be the ones asking you questions!"
The tip of the General's spear was merely a few meters away from Karyk's throat. Even with someone like Karyk before him, the man still held onto his courage. Unfortunately, the person who was before him was in a different league.
Karyk stepped closer to the man, not caring about the spear. If anything, the spear started disintegrating as Karyk stepped closer.
The General was momentarily stunned. He jumped back, commanding all his men to attack Karyk.
But Karyk, unfazed by the General's order, merely raised his hand and a powerful gust of wind knocked every soldier off their feet. As they lay incapacitated, Karyk turned back to the General, a calm yet determined look on his face.
"I won't ask a third time."
The General felt that his body wasn't in his control. His body rose in the air, the distance between his feet and the ground increasing. A mysterious force wrapping around his throat, tightening its grasp.
