Chapter 944: I don’t talk to puppet
Behind Gabriel, there stood a young woman. Her long hair came down to her waist, draping over her shoulders like a waterfall of silk. “Who are y-“
She opened her lips, but before she could even complete her question, she stopped. A sharp pain spread around her throat as a thin line of blood spread across her throat. “I don’t like talking to puppets.”
She heard a voice and footsteps that were getting distant. The man was no longer in front of her. She wanted to turn around, but she couldn’t. She lost blood as she dropped to her knees, holding her throat. She tried to stop bleeding, but she could not do that. At this moment, her life flashed before her eyes as she was surrounded by her blood. She was born in this world, but she had never seen her parents. She was an orphan. There were many people in this world who were able to become mage, after awakening elements. But she was not one of them. She had dreamed of becoming a mage many times, but the fate did not support her. She lived a life of suffering, only being able to watch other less deserving people become mage. It was only a few days ago that she discovered this place. There was no door to enter, but she was able to pass through the wall to discover this Temple. When she saw the statues here, she could feel that they were special. They were not like the fake gods that the mages of this world worshiped. Ever since then, she had been coming here everyday whenever she was free. She came here, lighting up candles so that it was never dark in his place. She really hoped that one day, the god would take mercy on her and grant her an ability so she could become a mage. However, when she came in now, she saw another person here. She was stunned. She could not believe that another person found this place. Shocked, she asked the person how he came here, forgetting that it was dangerous. She did not expect to end up in this situation. In the Temple that was his hope, she became a sacrifice. “If the Archangels want you so much, I can only send you someplace else. Sleep well in the afterlife…”
Gabriel’s words fell in her ears before the sound of footsteps finally ceased. Her eyes closed and she took her last breath. …..
“There you are!”
As soon as Gabriel returned to the group, Zena sighed in relief. Even though her brother was older than her, she was still worried that he was lost. “I went to get you this.”
Gabriel gave a small candy to his sister that he picked up on the way back, not telling her where he actually went. The others could see that it wasn’t all there was to it but they couldn’t ask any questions about it. ….
“Can you at least tell me how far I have to travel and the directions?”
Karyk asked the whale-like creature who had refused to take him there personally. “If you could swim as fast as me, it would take you just a month to get there. If you just follow the direction where the sun rises, you will end up at the place.”
“If I could swim as fast as you?”
Karyk was certain that he could not swim in this ocean, where even more creatures like this whale could be present. It was especially the case since he could not use his abilities properly in this world. Even if he could swim here, he couldn’t swim for a month straight. He was going to drown, and next time there might not be a whale to save him. He could only create a boat, but the boat couldn’t move as fast as a whale could. Even if the waves and the wind were to support it, the boat could still only move a hundred times slower than a whale. At that rate, he was certain that it was going to take him around ten years to reach his destination. And where could he find a boat large enough to store food worth ten years of consumption?
“You said your mother will not agree. Can you take me to your mother? Maybe I might be able to make a deal with her.”
He could not let this whale go. He was sure of that. The only way for him to make this journey was if he had the help of a creature like this. If not, then he might never reach his destination. He could never die here because of his Immortality, but he could also never get out of this place. He had to take this risk. He had to find a way out of this world. He had to reach the place where the so-called Children of God were staying. “Y-you want to meet my mother?” The Whale was stunned and taken aback. Even in the sea, most were scared of his mother. No one wanted to meet her. Even he didn’t want to meet her if he didn’t have to. So why would this man want to meet her?
“You don’t know my mother! This is not a good idea! You shouldn’t even think about it!”
“Even if it’s not a good idea, this is something I must do. Can you help me this one time?”
“This…”
The Whale looked hesitant. “If I do that, mother will find out that I tried to save a Child of God. Even if you say you aren’t one, she would still believe it!”
“You can say that you did not save me. Only the two of us know that you saved me. Just tell her that you were swimming when I approached you and asked for this meeting!”
“No! I can’t take you to her!”
The Whale turned around and started swimming away. Karyk frowned. If he had his abilities, did he have to ask this creature? He could have flown himself. Or he could have turned this entire ocean upside down. “Looks like I will have to find another method.”
Sighing, he turned around and thought about going inside the forest to look for something. “I can’t bring you to her, but I will talk to her about it. Oh she is willing, then it would have nothing to do with me! But if I don’t return, just take it as a refusal!”
The Whale’s voice came.
