?It had been several months since Karyk arrived in this world, and during this time, he had been unable to establish contact with Aliac and the others back home.
His days were solely dedicated to the city that now belonged to him.
Karyk devoted all his time and energy to strengthening the people of this city, resulting in a complete transformation.
Not only did the inhabitants become stronger, but even the city's infrastructure underwent significant improvements.
The city walls, now heightened, were constructed using the resilient materials Karyk had brought from the Land of Chaos, rendering them even more impenetrable. Furthermore, the buildings within the city were completely reconstructed, and new infrastructure was introduced, including the creation of a Training Tower.
The Training Tower, a personal project of Karyk's inspired by the towers from his own world, became a focal point for the citizens. Day after day, they diligently trained within its walls, honing their skills and preparing for the challenges ahead.
The Blacksmiths within the city also focused on their own tasks, creating weapons that could bear the strength of the citizens while also granting them edge in battle.
Karyk also put the knowledge of his own world during the creation of the weapons. Every single weapon created in the Blacksmith Shops went through his inspections.
None realised the reason Karyk was inspecting hundreds of thousands of weapons instead of the starting few, but they didn't ask. No one knew that Karyk personally wielded those weapons for one specific purpose.
With everyone now adequately prepared, Karyk believed it was time to advance to the next stage of their journey.
They were ready to face the Beasts of the Celestial Dynasty, knowing they could eliminate them without any casualties. Additionally, the Celestial Dynasty remained unharmed as the beasts could be revived, creating a mutually beneficial situation for both sides.
With the Puppet Master leading them to the battles, he didn't worry about much else. Although the Puppet Master had always been suspicious of him, Karyk knew that he wasn't going to betray them until he found out the secret of killing the purebloods.
And even if he tried to betray them, killing hundreds of thousands of Purebloods was an impossible task even for him.
With this, Karyk was confident enough about their safety to be able to leave this place. He still hadn't forgotten his main goal after all.
In the last few months, he had also managed to completely grasp the Celestial Dynasty's Knowledge, his abilities going through another boost.
After telling everyone to be careful and wait for him, he departed from the city. All the purebloods came to the exit of the city, escorting their city lord that had changed their lives.
It was because of their city lord, they had managed to regain control over their destiny. Their city lord had changed a dying city into one that was thriving.
All the citizens promised themselves that they were going to train their hardest while waiting for him to return. Their city lord had become his shield. And they wanted to become his sword, even if they had to go against the entire world for that!
Their loyalty towards Karyk had reached the level of madness where they could even kill each other on his single instruction without a second thought.
Karyk walked out of the city, certain that when he returned, the Warriors that he had created were going to truly have evolved into monsters that could bring absolute carnage.
Still, he wasn't confident. The other side wasn't weak. They had experienced many battles. Their training methods were also more effective than his.
Their numbers were also too many. And more importantly, they had the backing of the Archangels that he didn't know anything about.
No matter how many times he asked the Celestial Queen about the war between the Celestial Dynasty and the Elzerians, she didn't answer him.
She also didn't tell him anything about the Archangels, telling him that she was only going to tell him when she was free. However, to his frustration, she didn't tell him the method to free her either, saying that it wasn't the time yet.
Karyk had realised that he couldn't rely on the woman. He couldn't depend on her whims. He had to make his own preparations so that even without her support, he could create a miracle.
He knew that he couldn't just rely on a city for that. He needed to find the second weapon that he had long thought about. He needed to find the Graveyard of the Royal Family of Elzeria. He needed to put his new knowledge to work.
His main strength wasn't in being a teacher. His main strength was being the overlord of death which could make even the dead fight for him. And that's what his goal was.
The moment Elzerians tried to attack his world, he wanted to give them a surprise that they never could've expected.
He had expected to leave a long time ago as he kept waiting for Arkam to return with information about this world and the Royal Family that he asked for. Unfortunately, even after so many months, there was no news from Arkam.
In the end, he stopped waiting and put the newly created intelligence team to work. With purebloods working for him to gather intelligence, things progressed much more smoothly. In every city, his people had established bases.
As Purebloods, his men received respect no matter where they went, without attracting much suspicion. In this world, the purebloods were said to be the holiest beings after all.
With their help, he had created a complete intelligence network that was spread far and wide within a few months. And thanks to them, he received all the information that he wanted.
He knew the complete map of this world. He also knew the power structure in Elzeria as well as within various cities. He also knew just what kind of entity he was against. But more importantly, he knew where the Royal Graveyard was established in Elzeria.
The Royal Graveyard was within the Royal City as per his expectations. However what he hadn't expected was that it was right behind the Royal Palace, which made things very complicated.
