ALL NOVEL Chapter 1026: Too Broken
Chapter 1026: Too Broken
The city that was once vibrant began to fall silent as the shroud of darkness started spreading through the city.
This was the first time that so much blood of the fairies was shed, and it happened in their own city. However, even if traces of their blood were left behind, their bodies couldn't be seen as if some invisible beast had devoured it.
Karyk's mind was a chaotic sea of memories, each wave crashing with the force, trying to attack his sanity. He couldn't tell where his thoughts ended and the memories of those he had devoured began.
There was no room for hesitation or doubt, every step was a march toward the final destination he had spoken of.
"Who are you?" a voice called out from the thickening darkness.
A figure emerged, draped in the regal attire of the Fairy Lords. Her wings shimmered with a beautiful light, a stark contrast to the encroaching shadows.
Karyk paused for a moment, his eyes meeting hers.
"We are the end," he replied, his voice a chilling monotone, devoid of emotion or warmth.
The Fairy Lord raised her staff, the space shattering with ancient magic.
"I don't know how you managed to get here, but you will not defile this sacred place any longer," she declared, her voice echoing with authority of the fairy lord, who was in complete control of this city.
This city was her domain, and she was the absolute ruler here. How dare some insignificant being enter her sacred domain and defile this place while killing her people?
Karyk was already moving, his shadows springing forth like hungry beasts. The Fairy Lord's staff glowed brightly, a beam of light slicing through the darkness, but Karyk sidestepped it with inhuman agility.
"You cannot stop us," he said, his voice merging with the will of the abyss. "It is beyond redemption, beyond salvation. You can blame us, but in the end, you will have to become our strength."
The Fairy Lord's face darkened.
"Arrogant words for an insignificant being!" The Fairy Lord had enough listening to this human. She could feel that he was strong, but was he strong enough to defeat her in her own domain? She didn't believe it.
With a flick of her wrist, the Fairy Lord gathered the fairy magic. The reality around Karyk started warping, as his surroundings changed. It was as if the world itself had changed as per his desires.
The surroundings changed to the mountain cliff, where only one house exited. In front of that house, there was Gabriel who was playing with Zena and the others.
Gabriel looked at him and gestured for him to come play with them. It was as if the memory was trying to consume Karyk who cared about his family.
Karyk raised his scythe, slicing through Gabriel and the others. His scythe sliced through Gabriel's body, as well as the others. The house, and even the entire reality around him shattered as his scythe destroyed the warped reality that was conjured by the Fairy Lord.
"How did you free yourself so fast?" The Fairy Queen was taken aback.
This was the first time she had seen someone free themselves of this in such a short time.
This magic used the desires from the person's heart to create a world that they wanted the most while making their current memories blurry.
She had even tried to use this ability against an Angel. Although the angel was able to free himself, but he still took over half an hour for that. Meanwhile, Karyk freed himself before she could even move to attack him.
"We are too broken to accept a desire like that," Karyk answered. If it.was him from the past, he might have lost himself, but currently it was impossible.
Even if his current memories were made blurry during the effect of that magic, but what did that change? New memories from the devoured fairies were constantly appearing in his head, enough to make him realize that this was just an illusion.
Even without the help of the new memories, he wouldn't have fallen for it. He wouldn't have accepted Gabriel's invitation as he hadn't completed his goal.
Even if he did complete his goal, he didn't feel that he could ever return as he didn't trust himself. The more his mind was fragmented, the more dangerous he became for the ones around him.
He was a being that could devour everything around him, the monster that was born from the desire of the abyss to have a life. He was the abyss, as well as the ruler of the abyss.
He was the one that devoured everything, not because he was hungry but because he desired to devour everything around him. Was becoming a perfect being just an excuse? Was revenge just an excuse? Was protecting his family just an excuse? He didn't know.
He reached out his hand, the markings on his body changed further. Along with the markings, the wings on his back also changed, appearing completely identical to the wings of the fairies.
"Come to us..." He raised his finger, aiming at the Fairy Lord.
From all around the fairy lord, shadows jumped at her. She tried to shift the space but Karyk used the space sealing ability he stole from the angel to entrap her.
As for her fairy barrier, it was also easy to break when he modified his own energy with the fairy energy. Dark flames rushed towards the fairy lord along with the shadows brimming with fairy essence.
"You!" The Fairy Lord used everything she had to break the spatial seal but she wasn't able to break an angel's ability.
It was especially hard as this wasn't something that was made by devouring just one angel but by devouring multiple angels and condensing their essence.
He has further reinforced the seal with the other Species essence that he had devoured.
Although it had appeared that he was randomly going after clans to make himself intractable, but every clan he went after was for a goal.
At the beginning, he only went after the ones that could make his current abilities stronger or give him new abilities. Only the elf clan was an exception where he went to reach the fairies.
