?833 Chapter 833: Dangerous
With each swing of his sword, Karyk devised a plan. He focused on the shortest route to the wall, avoiding, with each step, traveling hundreds of meters. While he maneuvered his way towards the city wall, he unleashed a powerful burst of energy, causing a shockwave that sent the guards flying backward, momentarily disorienting many.
Taking advantage of the confusion, Karyk swiftly moved towards the city wall, dodging any guards that tried to impede his progress. As he approached, he could feel the power emanating from the hooded figure intensify.
Finally reaching the base of the city wall, Karyk looked up to see the hooded figure staring down at him with cold, calculating eyes. The figure spoke with a voice that could send chills down anyone's spine.
"You're the second person who has managed to get this close to this place. But this is as far as you'll go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Karyk sensed danger. From behind, a powerful attack came flying in his direction that was stronger than anything he had ever seen.
He had faced the King's sister who was accompanied by her guards. But compared to the strength of a General, she was lacking a lot. A General of Elzeria was not only older but many times stronger than her as well. And one such person was in control of these people.
Karyk didn't know how they were able to catch and control a person like his. He also didn't understand how the Emperor didn't send his entire army to raze this place to the ground, even if one of the Generals was taken.
He avoided the attack, albeit barely as the attack was too fast. The corner of his sleeves was caught in the attack, completely disintegrating.
"I'm the second person to get better. In that case, u suppose the first would be him?" Karyk asked, landing in the distance.
The hooded figure didn't answer. He just looked at Karyk, only his deep red eyes visible under the hood.
"And here I was thinking about ending it without exhausting myself." Karyk sighed, his long robe fluttering behind him. "But it seems like I'll have to put in a little more effort."
The hooded figure smiled. "Show me what you're capable of."
"Are you sure you want to see?" A voice fell in the hooded figure's ears. This time, even he was stunned as the voice came from right behind him.
Before he could react, he felt a burning sensation on his fingers. The invisible thread that he used to control the puppets was forcefully burned, the complete control of this domain being snatched from him.
"You!" He exclaimed as he turned around. But as soon as he looked back, he felt a hand touching his chest, sending him flying back.
The hooded figure flew back, falling off the well. He quickly regained his balance mid-air, landing gracefully on his feet, his eyes filled with a surprise.
As far as he remembered, everything was in his control. Karyk was playing into his palm, about to fight the General. He was about to see just what this man was capable of, trying to find an opportunity to turn him into a puppet as well. But in an instant, everything had changed.
"How...?" he asked, his thoughts in shambles.
"Don't you have more important things to worry about?" Karyk asked, sitting atop the wall, an amused look spread across his face.
The hooded figure noticed that his gaze was in the distance. He traced Karyk's gaze, his expressions darkening.
Behind him, he noticed the General of Elzeria, looking at him with heavy killing intent like he wanted to rip this guy apart.
Not just the General, not the others also looked at him with eyes of hate. Now that all of them were freed of the controlling threats, they were able to control themselves. They also remembered everything that had happened, from the moment they were caught.
Even the Assassin that was just caught came to his senses, feeling a slight headache. He remembered fighting Karyk, and then following the hooded figure. At that moment, he felt as if his body wasn't in his control. He felt like he was in a prison, only able to watch what was happening outside but not possessing any control.
He had seen the entire fight from the start to the end. While he was under control, he was sure that Karyk could never win. But Karyk had once again surprised him, freeing him.
He looked in the direction of Karyk, who waved at him in amusement.
"If you don't want to be caught in the fight of two giants, then step back," the assassin heard Karyk's voice, directly in his head.
He didn't have time to be amazed by it. He stepped back quickly, realizing that the General and the others were going to attack the hooded figure. Until now, he hadn't seen the hooded figure make a move personally, but he was certain that this guy wasn't weak either.
He also found it quite ironic. At first, the hooded figure wanted to see what Karyk was capable of. But in the end, it was he who had to reveal what he was capable of. In an instant, everything had turned upside down, and all Karyk had to do was free some people.
The hooded figure frowned, realizing that it was a mess. He could control them one by one after weakening them. But with such a large number on the other side, it was almost impossible for him to control them.
Even more troublesome was the fact that all these were puppets that hadn't even taken part in a battle yet and weren't exhausted in the least. He couldn't help but glance back at Karyk, wondering if that guy had planned everything when he went past them without hurting them.
He didn't want to believe it. If this guy actually planned all this, then he could only imagine how dangerous this guy was. He wasn't just strong but also far sighted.
