Chapter 904: Still of use
Chapter 904: Still of use
Karyk closed the door behind him as he entered the room in the back with Gabriel. Inside the room, they came across a pirate, who was dressed in colorful clothing adorned with shiny jewels and intricate embroidery, giving off an air of flamboyance.
“Is he the one?” Karyk asked Gabriel, who was looking at the man sitting comfortably in the distance. “You bastard, did you forget how to greet your master after being away for a few weeks?” The bearded man asked, his eyes narrowing. “He is the one.” Gabriel nodded, confirming the identity of the person. This was the person who had sent the team to investigate their world. This was also the person who was known as the right hand man of the Sea King. Although the man appeared flamboyant and careless, his strength wasn’t weak. He was known as one of the strongest pirates on the Island. He was also one of the three direct subordinates of the Sea King. But unlike the other direct subordinates, he didn’t like the Sea King. Only a few knew that the man was always scheming. If it wasn’t for the sheer strength of the Sea King, he would have long overthrown him. Despite his ambitions, he knew that he needed to be patient and wait for the right moment. And that right moment came in the form of the discovery of another world. That’s why he didn’t tell even the Sea King about this and sent his team to investigate directly. He hadn’t expected any of them to return so early. But since they returned, he also believed that they had information worth sharing. Usually, when his subordinates were before him, they instantly greeted him while going down to their knees. He could often see fear in their eyes and that fear excited him. But strangely enough, he couldn’t see any fear in the eyes of these two people. Instead, he felt something strange. It was as if they completely disregarded him. He didn’t know how his subordinates could change this much in an instant. “Looks like I really have to train you again.” The bearded man reached out his hand, grabbing a whip. “Since he’s the one, I suppose that makes things easier.” Karyk cast a barrier inside the room, making sure that no sound was going to leak outside. The bearded man stood up, attacking with a whip that if hit, could leave a deep red wound on the skin. But before he could hit, he saw the barrier. He grew stunned. His subordinates couldn’t use a barrier like this. “Why are you?” he asked, his expressions turning darker. He was sure that these people weren’t his subordinates.
“Do you understand the consequences of infiltrating Pirate Island?” he asked, his voice low and calm, emanating a sense of authority. “Do you not fear death?”
“Would you believe me if I say we are your fans?” Karyk’s voice came from right behind the bearded man, who grew stunned. But he reacted just as swiftly, turning around. His whip flew across the room, destroying everything in its path.
If it wasn’t for the barrier, even the entire establishment would have been destroyed. All the tables and chairs inside the room were broken. Only destruction was left whenever the whip moved. But to the man’s surprise, the two men had disappeared. If it wasn’t for the barrier, even the entire establishment would have been destroyed. All the tables and chairs inside the room were broken. Only destruction was left whenever the whip moved. But to the man’s surprise, the two men had disappeared. “You should have been serious from the start. Looking down on us wasn’t good for you,” A voice once again appeared behind him. And this time, before he could react, a sword passed through his chest. The bearded man could break the barrier if he had given his all. He could even put up a fight, at least to some extent. But instead, he looked down on them, only using the whip. This was the biggest flaw in the immortal beings. As they were certain that they couldn’t die, they weren’t as serious about battles. Instead, they preferred to gauge the strength of the enemy with each attack, so they could have more fun hunting the enemy down. It was the same for the bearded man. No matter how strong he was, he looked down on Karyk and Gabriel. He believed he had all the time in the world after all. But he hadn’t expected that even his own life was on the line here. He wasn’t even given the change to get serious as Gabriel’s sword passed through his heart, making him cough blood. He looked at the blood in disbelief. He didn’t even remember how long it had been since he last saw his blood. But worse than that was the fact that he could feel that his body wasn’t healing. “What… did you do?” he asked, his expressions growing pale. “Why am I not…”
“Life is precious. You should have cared more about it.” Karyk appeared in front of the man, looking at his blood staining his clothes. He slowly removed his disguise, revealing his real face which was that of a young boy that wasn’t even an Elzeiran. “From another world…?” The man finally realized the identity of the other side. He had sent his people to investigate the other side of the portal. And now, someone had entered this world disguised as those same men. He found it laughable that it took him so long to realize it. He had thought that he was sending his people to the other world. He thought he could use the other world. He hadn’t realized that there were monsters in the other world that were able to kill them. Even as his vision turned dark, he felt regretful. Had his actions invited the wrath of someone that they couldn’t afford to offend? Instead of going into the other world, he had brought them into his world. He wanted to say a lot of things, but no words came out of his lips until he finally died, falling on the ground. “Don’t worry. I will bring you back.” Karyk placed his hand on the lifeless body of the Pirate Chief. “You are still of use to me.”
