1007 Chapter 1007: Ramblings of a fool
The City of Dead… This was what a person would have called the homeland of Titans if they had seen what happened here.
The only living beings in the entire city were the Titans inside the Royal Palace. Everywhere else, the Titans had already been killed and replaced by the Undead.
Normally, Karyk couldn’t turn so many Undeads at once as the amount of mana needed was astronomical. Even at his peak, he had a much smaller undead army, which took him years to create.
However, this time he didn’t have to worry about it. The mana needed to turn someone into an undead was taken from their own bodies after devouring them.
In essence, the Titans were paying for their own deaths, and that payment was used by Karyk to bring them back as Undead.
The more of these Titans he devoured, the stronger he and the abyss was becoming. The Abyss had stopped expanding a long time ago when he was born, but once again, it started expanding, breaking the various barriers that were cast around it.
Even the entrance of the abyss where Ezekiel and Gabriel were trapped was broken open and the abyss started swallowing its surroundings.
It started expanding towards earth and the realm of gods like a beast who had been hungry for millions of years.
The City of Titans was overrun by Undeads created in the Abyss.
Once he finished devouring the entire city, he changed his goal to the Royal Palace which was already surrounded by hundreds of thousands of undead that could destroy the palace if they attacked at the same time.
Karyk sat on the shoulder of an Undead Titan Mage which approached the Royal Palace. In front of him, there were two undead warriors while behind him, there were
more undead mages.
As there wasn’t enough space in the hallways, even more of his Undeads were simply hidden in his shadows.
On the shoulder of the giant undead, it was hard to even see a small Karyk, as if trying to locate an ant sitting on a human’s shoulder.
If one was to see him, they would have noticed a tiny human, who was carrying a small scythe on his shoulder.
Having devoured so many Titans, Karyk felt that his strength increased quite a lot. Even in raw strength, he was stronger than a Titan. However, that wasn’t the only change.
His body had started changing. His eyes had turned pitch black, with no semblance of white visible. However, it didn’t affect his vision at all.
There were also some strange marks that looked like tattoos that had appeared all
over his skin. His hair had also turned into a bright shade of silver which created a contrast with his dark attire and dark eyes.
Along the way, Karyk killed the remaining few guards that were still inside the Palace, yet to be turned into Undeads.
The entire process moved smoothly. If anything, Karyk felt that it went a little too smoothly. He even wondered if that’s how easy it was supposed to be.
With the memories of the guards inside the Palace, he gathered a lot more
information about the interior of the Palace. He found the throne room as well as the Prayer Room which only the Eldest Princess was allowed to enter.
He didn’t have to think twice to guess what was inside the Prayer Room. It was most probably another of those creepy statues of the Angels that they loved spreading all over the continent for some reason.
He sent a few of his Undeads to the Prayer Room, telling them to destroy the statues. Meanwhile, he personally went to the Throne Room where the Titan King was supposed to be present.
The doors of the throne room were covered with ancient Titan runes, standing as the final barrier.
Only a Titan authorized by the Royal Family or those whose names were carved in the door by the Titan King personally were allowed to enter the place.
Standing over the undead titan’s shoulder, Karyk raised his scythe which grew even larger than him.
The scythe became so large that it looked more suitable for a titan than someone as small as him. However, Karyk had no problem using such a long scythe with the strength he had gathered.
With a single, powerful swing, the doors shattered, revealing the inner sanctum. The throne room was huge, with the ceiling so high that he felt like he was looking at the sky. But what drew Karyk’s attention was the figure seated on the throne. Unlike the Titans he had faced before, this one went different. It felt less like a titan and more like he was standing before the god of titans.
Just the aura around the Titan King was so strong that he could destroy a Titan without him having to move.
Fortunately, the Undead Titans didn’t have emotions. They didn’t feel fear or the suppression that came from Titan King’s Bloodline. If they did, Karyk was sure they already would have fallen to their knees.
The Titan King rose slowly from his throne. His eyes locked onto Karyk. There was no fear in them, only a cold, calculating gaze.
“What a cursed ability you have…. Even in death, the ones killed don’t find peace,” the Titan King spoke, his voice resonating throughout the chamber. “Don’t worry. I will make you personally experience this cursed ability.” Karyk
tightened his grip on his scythe.
The Titan King chuckled, a deep, resonant sound that could send chills down any person’s spine.
“Just because you killed them, you believe you can do everything? I don’t know if I should call that overconfidence or the ramblings of a fool. What do you think?”
….
In another place, the Undead Titans barged inside the Prayer Room. However, the moment they entered, a bright light flashed in the room.
The undead titans were cut into thousands of small pieces.
“Disgusting things…” The Eldest Princess said, looking at the dark pieces in disgust.
She walked out of the hall, curious to see how these disgusting things came here. However just as she stepped out, she felt the disgusting presence behind him rise
again.
She turned around, noticing the undead pieces gathering together.
