Chapter 1028: Gathering of the Lords
The city of fairies was being remade as the city of the dead. Most of the Undeads were left behind in the floating city to prepare the city as a fortress.
The formations that were left behind by the fairies were mostly destroyed by Karyk when he came to the city. During his onslaught, most of the protective mechanisms had been destroyed.
Some of those mechanisms were responsible for even keeping the city hidden from the world, being extremely important.
Karyk left behind the Undead Fairy Lord and the other fairies who knew better about such things.
Even though they were undead, they could still access the memories that Karyk wanted them to access. As for the memories that he didn’t want them to explore, it was kept sealed away from them.
The Fairy Lord started working on the formation, not only repairing them but even strengthening them even further.
While the undead were working hard to prepare the city for their lord’s return, Karyk had started going across the continent.
The mysterious disappearance of various clans didn’t stop. If anything, the speed at which the clans were disappearing had only increased. Even the high clan members that were sent to investigate had started disappearing.
With things reaching this point, even the High Lords were starting to realize the gravity of the situation. At this rate, they were sure that the losses were going to be more than they could accept.
Initially, they had been acting separately. However, now they had all decided to work together, especially since the Angels sent a message to every High Clan, inviting them to gather for a meeting of the Lords.
There was never a time when the Angels ever invited the other high clans as they never even considered them equal. The invitation came as a surprise to the other High Lords as well.
If even the Angels had started getting involved, didn’t that mean that the danger was big enough for even them to be concerned.
Almost every High Clan accepted the invitation, especially since the meeting wasn’t going to be held in the city of angels. If it was held in the city of angels, they would have thought twice, believing it to be a trap.
The Angels also realized this, hence deciding the meeting location to be in the neutral city that was in the middle of the five high clan territories. It was the only city that wasn’t under the control of any of the High Clan.
It was also the city of trade where all the High Clans could freely enter and leave without worrying about invading other clans’ territory.
….
In the ruins of a city, Karyk sat atop a mountain of bodies that appeared to have created a throne for him.
It was looking at a letter that had reached him from the city of fairies. This Fairy Lord herself brought this invitation to him.
“The City of Necropolis?” He looked at the invitation letter. It was said to be the destination where all the Lords of the High Clans were going to gather.
As per the memories he had devoured, there was no lord of the Angels. They only had a High Council, which was made up of the strongest angels that had also lived the longest.
He didn’t know their true strength, but he had come to understand that the High Council contained the Angels that were already ruling this world when he was born.
The angel who had given the invitation to the young prince was also a High Council Member. He didn’t know how strong that person was, but he was definitely as strong as the Civilization King.
Unfortunately, that person hadn’t fought properly, being devoured by the blood from where Karyk was born.
“Looking back at it, I’m sure he was used for our birth as well.” Karyk had been formed with the Prince’s body as a base, but that wasn’t all.
When he was born, everything in his surroundings was devoured, the Angels being one of them.
“Strange. Why don’t I have his abilities and memories?” he tried to look deep in his memories, but nothing came to his mind.
He wondered if it was because he was only a child so he couldn’t take the abilities of that person properly.
“You devil, I will kill you!” Behind Karyk, a young woman jumped up the mountain of bodies, attacking Karyk who was distracted by the invitation letter.
The woman thought she could kill Karyk when he was not paying attention, but the moment she actually came close to him, she felt a terror rising from within her soul.
Karyk wasn’t even looking at her but she still felt as if she was being stared at by a monster. Her courage collapsed in an instant, but it was too late to step back.
She clenched her teeth and continued the attack, ignoring this feeling. However, the moment she reached close to Karyk, shadows came from the ground, grabbing into her ankles.
She was pulled inside the mountain of corpses, her fate being unknown.
Karyk didn’t react as if he hadn’t even noticed someone attacking him. He returned the invitation letter to the fairy lord.
“Reply that you will attend. It’s about time we meet our old friends.”
The Fairy Lord nodded. A portal opened behind her and she disappeared within it.
Karyk also stood up, jumping down the mountain of bodies. He walked away from the city, as the mountain of bodies started disappearing into the darkness.
….
A week had passed since the invitation was accepted by the Fairy Lord. The date of the meeting had been set as the first of next month in the City of Necropolis.
Each High Clan sent their people to the city of Necropolis to check the safety and security of the city and make sure other clans didn’t set any trap for them.
The only High Clan that didn’t send anyone was the Fairy Clan. Once the investigation was finished, the spies returned. The meeting was confirmed.
Before long, the next month arrived. It was the day for the meeting of High Clan Lords, the strongest beings in this world to gather.
