Chapter 876 876: Just a pawn
The woman felt her body getting lighter as the blood of the Purebloods was slowly absorbed by the city in which she was sealed.
One after another, the invisible shackles around her body kept breaking. The sealing over the city was getting weaker with each passing second.
The blood was being drawn out from the citizens that Karyk had converted, and was being used by the Empress for her own benefits.
The process lasted the entire night, only stopping as the first ray of sunlight fell over the city. The Empress felt her body brimming with strength, the seal completely breaking.
The woman stood in front of the throne, looking at her hands. She couldn’t believe that she had successfully freed herself from the seal.
At times, she used to think that it was an impossible task as gathering so many Purebloods was a task that was impossible.
Even after centuries, she had only managed to gather a few Purebloods thanks to the Puppet Master, which was far from enough.
The Elzeiran Emperor had also stopped sending any Purebloods Warriors to the Land of Chaos, as if he understood what the woman was trying to do.
She kept sending the beasts to attack the City, in hopes that Purebloods Warriors would enter the Land of Chaos to stop them. Unfortunately, the City Lord of the city and his warriors never entered the Land of Chaos, only protecting the city.
Thanks to the previous City Lord, she never received what she wanted. She wanted to destroy the city, but thanks to the seal, she couldn’t send the powerful beasts outside the city either.
Only the Puppet Master was strong enough to leave the Land of Chaos, but she didn’t send him, knowing that the City Lord was a cunning Bastard.
She knew that the City Lord had prepared traps for the Puppet Master which always made her hesitate.
Just as she was starting to lose hope, she felt the presence of a man in the depths of the city. The man appeared strange, as he talked about the Celestial Dynasty which was already forgotten by many people.
She thought that the man was sent by the Elzeiran Emperor, but at the same time she doubted that possibility. Why would the Elzeiran Emperor send someone when she was sealed in the city?
Even the Elzeiran Emperor should’ve known that it was impossible to defeat her when she was inside the city.
She sent a beast to test Karyk’s strength, only for the beast to be defeated. The man was strange, as he used the skills of Elzeirans but at the same time he felt different. Read Web Novels Online Free – NovelFire Novel Fire – novelfire.net
Even after fighting her beast, he tried to talk to her and told her that he wasn’t an Elzeiran. The moment the man removed the mask, the Empress was surprised that he truly wasn’t an Elzeiran.
His features were different from an Elzeiran. He wasn’t one of them but he was as strong as them which confused her. She became intrigued about the man, wanting to know more about him.
As she led the man to her palace, she had him explain his identity.
The moment she heard that the City Lord was betrayed by his own people and died, her eyes lit up. Fortunately, no one was able to see her eyes at that moment.
She heard Karyk explain that he was from another world and that the world was being targeted by the Elzeirans, which made him enter this place to stop the Elzeirans.
The revelation confused her as she didn’t understand why the Elzeirans were targeting Karyk’s World. Throughout the history, the Elzeirans had only attacked one world… Hers.
The Elzeirans were the pawns of the Archangels who didn’t move without their will. Even when they targeted this world, it was because her father had refused to give them what they wanted.
Instead, his father destroyed what they were after, forever infuriating the Archangels which led them to send the Elzeirans to this world.
Ever since then, her world fell apart. The vast Celestial Dynasty was reduced to no more than a small city inside the Land of Chaos. Even the name of the Celestial Dynasty was forever erased from history.
She didn’t understand what they wanted from Karyk’s World and why it took them so long to enter that world. Just what was in that world which was drawing them closer? Why were the Archangels getting impatient?
She didn’t know the answer to many questions, but she was certain about one thing. Karyk was the city lord of the border city who was desperate to save his world. She knew she could use him for his benefits.
She could use him to gather the Purebloods and eventually free herself. But she didn’t tell him about it, telling him that she was going to tell him when it was time.
At the same time, she sent the Puppet Master with Karyk to the border city! With the previous City Lord dead, she didn’t have to worry about his safety.
She made it look like the Puppet Master was simply there to keep an eye on Karyk, but the reality was that he was sent out of the Land of Chaos so he could slowly gather the Purebloods for sacrifice!
Though her actions seemed secretive, her ultimate goal was to free herself and take revenge for her Dynasty, and Karyk was just a pawn for that goal.
She wanted to use Karyk, who wasn’t ready yet. Unfortunately, her plan fell apart as she heard that Karyk was able to kill a pureblood!
She changed the mission of the puppet master from gathering the Purebloods to finding the secret about how Karyk was able to kill them!
Following her instructions, the Puppet Master started trying to find out Karyk’s secrets. However, instead of finding out the secrets, the Puppet Master gave her even more shocking news that Karyk had managed to turn ordinary citizens into Purebloods!
The moment she heard the news, she was shocked as well as happy. She told him to support that man! With his help, she could gather the Purebloods sooner.
