Chapter 1061: Chapter 1061: False Flag
The spear came crashing down. The other Lords could only watch as the spear sliced through Karyk’s body from the middle, striking at his core.
The body split in two, with each half falling in a different direction. The Death Lord had succeeded but he didn’t appear quite pleased.
He simply looked at Karyk’s body falling to either side with the spear stabbed in the middle of the floor.
Just as Karyk’s body was about to touch the floor, it turned into dark specks of light that turned into nothingness in front of the eyes of the Lords.
“That was…?”
The other Lords also had their expressions darken as they realized what had just happened. They looked at each other in disbelief.
“Please don’t tell me it’s what I think it is,” the Space Lord asked the Lord of Death who walked over to the Speak, picking it up.
“I didn’t harvest anything. So it is exactly as you think. That was not the real body…” The Lord of Death answered while the spear disappeared within his hand, being absorbed by his bones. “Since how long… Since how long had he expected something like this to happen?’ the Lord of Time rubbed his forehead, feeling lost.
“Did the girl fool us?” The Angel Lord asked, clenching his fist. In his frustration, he didn’t control his aura.
Not just the symbols that he had cast as a seal around the hall but the entire mansion itself disintegrated, leaving a large barren land with no structure within.
The Ship had already traveled far enough. Still, the Clan Lord was looking towards his mansion. When the Clan Head watched his mansion disappear, he felt relieved that they had left the mansion.
He was still curious as to what the young man had done for the four lords to kill him in such a way that the entire mansion was destroyed.
In any case, now that everything was supposedly over, he told his men to turn around. Even though the mansion and everything else was gone, the four Overlords were still behind. He had done what they wanted. He still had to talk to them to get even closer.
Unfortunately, before the ships could even turn around, a mysterious force grabbed on to them. All the ships of the family were held by the mysterious force that pulled them back towards the barrel land.
The force was being used by the Lord of Space who wasn’t merciful towards the clan which had supposedly fooled them.
With a powerful force, all the ships crashed in front of the four lords, being left in no condition to fly again.
Although the ships had crashed, no one inside the ship had been killed.
“L-lord, did I do something to displease you?” The Clean head stepped out of the ship, holding on to the hand of his daughter with the other family members behind him.
“How dare you fool us?! Where is the man that she took with her?!” The Space Lord asked, raising his hand.
The clan head felt the same mysterious force of space grab his throat, suffocating him. “I-i already sent him to the room you suggested! Was there another man?!”
“That was not a person! It was a shadow clone of that man who shared the same essence! Where is the real person?!”
“I-i don’t know.” The Clan Head struggled as he answered. “Let me ask her!”
With the force around his neck weakening, he turned to his daughter and asked her, “Where is the man that you picked up from the Banquet?”
The girl was just as confused as she told everyone that the man was already taken inside the mansion by her father. To the question of it being a shadow, she suggested that it had been that way all this time.
“It’s the same person I picked up at the banquet. He has never left my sight from the moment we left Time Lord’s Mansion. He was always with me inside the ship as well. So if it was a shadow clone, that’s what I brought!”
“Do you think we are fools?” The Angelic Lord slapped the woman away. His figure flickered as he appeared in front of her again, repeating the same question. “Where is he?”
“I don’t know!” The woman exclaimed while blood trickled down the corner of her lips.
Her father just watched and didn’t intervene, realizing his own weakness. He simply watched the girl being threatened by the Angelic Lord.
“That’s enough. I don’t sense any lies in her words.” It was the Lord of Death who intervened. With a wave of his hand, he sent the girl flying back to her father, healing her wounds at the same time.
“Doesn’t that mean we just wasted time? The person who attended the banquet was just a shadow? Doesn’t that mean the real person was never there? We had always been trailing behind the shadow?” The Angelic Lord asked, his tone filled with frustration.
The four lords were left confused. All of them had been fooled. Karyk had sent a shadow with the woman, as if he already knew about the Time Lord’s ability to glimpse into the past of the world.
He intentionally made it clear that he left with the woman, sending the Lords on a wild goose chase.
Meanwhile, the real Karyk was nowhere to be found. Even the Time Lord couldn’t find out the whereabouts of the real Karyk.
If he sent a false flag, it was clear that he was cautious. With so many guests there, he could have hidden his real body in the shadow of anyone, waiting for the Time Lord to go on a false
trail.
The Time Lord rubbed his forehead, thinking about all the possibilities.
….
Just as the Time Lord assumed, Karyk had already left his words. However, he hadn’t left as openly as others had assumed, leading them to be fooled.
He didn’t hide inside the shadows of the powerful beings. Instead, he hid inside the ship itself, that too by using the shadow that he had left outside the mansion.
He switched his real body with the shadow, leaving only a clan with the woman. Meanwhile, his real body had already left with the man who had sliced the river of time itself as his clan was almost on the same standing as the Angelic Clan.
