Chapter 541: Creation

After the Goddess of Nature finished speaking, she walked past Gabriel, leaving him lost in his thoughts. 2

"You should've let him come to the answer himself." She sat next to Karyk, softly asking. 

"I know," Karyk replied calmly. "But I'm afraid he doesn't have time. If he can't get stronger before the banquet, I'm afraid he might still be stubborn enough to leave this place. I don't want to forcefully restrain him. So I can only help him get stronger while also focusing on my own strength."

"Are you starting to care for someone else again?" The Goddess of Nature asked. 

"How is he someone else?" Karyk asked, frowning. "I'm only taking care of myself. If I die, he would need all the strength he can gather to protect himself..."

"You aren't dying. I'm with you." The Goddess of Nature replied. 

"The fact that you'll die with me doesn't comfort me in the least," Karyk responded, shaking his head lightly. 

If there was a situation in the future where he could die, then the chances of survival of the Goddess of Nature were also close to none after all. So he didn't think too much about it. 

"So you still know how to joke," the Goddess of Nature rolled her eyes. "Anyway, how long until you completely recover?"

"Soon." Karyk vaguely answered, shaking his head lightly. However, even though he said that, even he didn't know how long it was going to take exactly. 

Initially, he had thought that it was going to take at least a month for him to recover completely. However, everything had been moving smoothly, so he felt as if he could heal before a month was over.

Gabriel sat alone in the middle of the hall, unaware of the conversation that was taking place between the Goddess of Nature and Karyk. He was simply looking at the mark of Life and Death on the back of his hand. 

His eyes were slightly complicated. 

"Focus on my strength..." He muttered the words. It was clear that the words meant that he had to improve his spells, or come up with new spells that matched his fighting style, containing more power. 

He was different from a Mage of Light or a mage of darkness. He had both the elements and they had both merged into creating something new. So it was clear that the old spells of Cylix and Novius didn't match him perfectly. 

He needed something more!

*****

Two more days passed in the blink of an eye. 

The Southern General was getting more and more frustrated since he couldn't find a single clue about Karyk. Moreover, the information about Karyk's appearance in the Upper World had also reached the Ruler of the Upper Realm. 

Strength enough, the King of the Upper Realm didn't react much to this information, as if he already expected this. In fact, he still didn't leave the Central Realm. He left everything for his Generals to handle. 

No one knew what he was thinking, or why he didn't leave the Central World of the Upper Realm. Some felt that it was because he didn't think that Karyk was strong enough for him to personally make a move. While there were also some who thought that he had another reason for not leaving the Central World. 

In fact, most of the people couldn't even remember the last time he had left the Central Realm. Most of the tasks were handed over to his Generals.

 In fact, most people were sure that thousands of years had already passed since the last time the Ruler of the Upper Realm came out of the Central World. 

Many people thought that this problem could've been solved easily, if only their king would come out and deal with it himself, but they were left disappointed. 

As for the Generals, even though many people respected them, there were many who also secretly questioned their capabilities, since a thousand years ago, they had also failed in capturing the same person. 

Even though the Four Generals were the strongest beings in the Upper Realm after the King of the Upper Realm, in reality, their skills weren't even close to the King. 

But the Four Generals were determined to prove their worth and regain the trust of their people by capturing Karyk once and for all. They used all their might, sealing all four worlds, making it impossible for a person to go from one world to another. 

Only the Four Generals and people approved by them could travel freely through the sealed space. Even Karyk couldn't do that. 

After sealing the entire place, they placed even more people on the search. Every city was searched from top to bottom, in search of Karyk who was said to be accompanied by two women this time. 

The Four Generals created a force, led by their most skilled warriors, to track down Karyk's whereabouts. The Warriors were given the authority to use any means necessary to capture Karyk. 

They could also execute anyone who they found suspicious. In fact, they were even allowed to destroy an entire town if needed. This showed how serious the Four Generals were. 

While a search for them was intensifying, Karyk was sitting on the ground, still in meditation. 

Even the Goddess of Nature was relaxing a little. For the last two days, Gabriel hadn't asked her for a battle even once. It was as if Karyk's advice had worked for him. He wasn't as impatient as before. 

Instead, Gabriel was sitting alone in the distance. The laws of various elements could occasionally be felt coming from his direction, as if he was working on spells of his own, that could utilize his merged elements himself. 

Creating a new spell was hard to the point that it was considered almost impossible. However, Gabriel had Karyk's knowledge, who was the person that started from scratch and created all his spells himself! That gave him some basic understanding. 

Moreover, Cylix and Novius had also created some unique spells of their own, which were something that even the Holy Lords wanted. He had everything he needed.
