Chapter 879 879: Late
Almost every Purebloods in the entire camp rushed towards the direction to search for Karyk.
Only a small group of Generals stayed behind, feeling regretful that they couldn't join in. They were the core group and couldn't leave the barrier.
Not even trying to hide himself, the Undead created a lot of loud movements, making his presence known intentionally. Meanwhile, Karyk also entered the area, completely undetected.
"I should have enough strength for one more attack. But after that..."
He walked towards the portal, lost in thought on how to handle this situation. At any cost, he had to pass through the portal with only one attack worth of strength left.
As Karyk reached the proximity of the portal, he cast an invisibility spell on him. He could already see four Generals, one covering each direction of the portal.
As soon as he entered the hundred meters range of the portal, the General facing his direction opened his eyes. Without a second thought, the General swung his sword, sending an arc of energy in Karyk's direction.
Karyk was stunned at being attacked. He quickly dodged to the side. However, instead of staying still, he started running towards the portal while avoiding the attack.
"I had considered the possibility, but it looks like invisibility truly doesn't work on stronger Elzeirans..."
The other three Generals were also alerted as soon as they saw the attack.
Karyk's invisibility was over, and seeing him, all the Generals grew excited. It was as if they were predators who had seen a delicious prey.
"Looks like it's our lucky day!" One of the Generals laughed. "I can only imagine the faces of the others when they return!"
Two of the Generals ran ahead to face Karyk. The other two stayed behind, keeping an eye on his every movement.
"It's truly your lucky day!" Karyk commented as he raised his sword. He sent the last embers of his aura into his sword as he rushed towards the two Generals who came to attack him.
The two Generals attacked him from different angles. They thought that Karyk could only block one of their attacks while the other was going to kill him. Both of them wanted to be the second person.
However, to their surprise, Karyk didn't swing his sword. Instead, he dodged the first sword while stepping over the second sword, jumping past the Generals.
It was only when he was high in the sky that he swung his sword. He didn't attack the Generals, only attacking the portal instead.
The two Generals standing before the portal were stunned to see the attack coming towards them. As the attack came closer, they even felt as if their own existence was in danger. It was a feeling that they never felt before.
Fear gripped their hearts as they dodged to the side. The attack flew past them, entering the portal. However, the attack wasn't the only thing that entered the portal. A pale faced young man had been following the attack closely behind.
As the two Generals moved aside, Karyk also rushed inside the portal, disappearing into the space.
"You fools! Why did you move?!" The first two Generals fumed, unable to believe that they allowed Karyk to pass through. If the news reached the Emperor, they were going to be killed.
"We need to catch him!" The two Generals exclaimed, realizing that they couldn't return without Karyk. They also passed through the portal, chasing after the young man.
The two Generals who had dodged the attack also realized their mistakes. They didn't understand why they were scared of the attack when they were immortal.
They also entered the portal, having only one way to atone for their sins.
....
An arc of destructive beam came out from a portal, striking the land. A deep crater formed where the beam hit, causing shockwaves to ripple through the surroundings.
Following the beam, a young man also flew inside, falling right in the middle of the portal.
Four more people came out from the portal, their violet eyes looking for Karyk. Soon, they noticed the young man weakly lying in the middle of a crater.
Karyk coughed out a mouthful of blood, weakly pushing his body up.
"So this is what it feels like to be as weak as a mortal. It reminds me of the days I entered the Realm of Death." He wiped the blood off his lips as he turned towards the four Generals.
"So the news was right. You were weak. If you don't want to be killed, quickly surrender!" A General commanded Karyk, aiming his sword at the pale faced young man.
"Ha... Haha... Hahahaha!" Karyk burst into laughter as if he had gone mad. He placed his palms on his face as his laughter echoed in the surroundings.
As he removed his hands, his blood red eyes shone with a deadly killing intent. "Aren't you a step too late?"
The Generals exchanged uneasy glances as they felt a chill run down their spines. They felt cold winds circling around Karyk as strange particles of light were absorbed inside his body.
"It seems you have chosen death then!" The General exclaimed. Although he didn't know what this scary feeling was, it didn't matter.
"In that case you can only..." he muttered. His figure disappeared mid sentence.
"Die!" At the next moment, he appeared behind Karyk.
His Sword sliced through Karyk's body. However, his face went dark as he didn't hear Karyk's painful cry.
Instead, a roar filled with pain came from the distance where the other Generals were standing.
He saw Karyk standing behind the headless bodies of three Generals, blood dripping down his sword.
Karyk's complexion recovered as he was out of Elzeira. The Elements here were free for him to absorb and recover his strength. Each passing second, he was recovering his strength.
Moreover, he didn't even need to use his own strength to attack. He could attack with his full strength just by using the elements in his surroundings.
The General watched the three bodies collapse. His hands trembled, not understanding why the three Generals weren't recovering.
