Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage - Chapter 1077: Hunting in another’s territory

1077  Chapter 1077: Hunting in another’s territory

The man had given up on Karyk. For him, the young man was no different than a dead man walking. Although it was a pity that a rare mutation like Karyk was going to die, marking the extinction of the fairy bloodline, there was nothing he could do. For the best few days, he immersed himself in training the warriors of his fleet, not even trying to meet Karyk. The Drike Family Patriarch was also slightly surprised that his brother wasn’t doing something foolish like trying to help Karyk, especially when he was the one who asked for Karyk to be given to him. For the first two days, nothing extraordinary happened. Karyk occasionally went out of the mansion for a walk, only to return after half a day. Throughout the time, he was followed but there was nothing strange in his movements. After a certain point, even the people who were observing him started taking things easy. The number of people following Karyk were reduced to the extent that only one person was following him on the third day.

On the third day, Karyk had again left home for a normal walk, as if trying to see the city one last time, not sure if he was ever going to return here or not. The guard followed him, appearing very bored. He was seeing the same scenery every day, which had grown quite stale for him. “Why did my luck have to be so bad. Out of everyone, I was the only one assigned here. Even training was better than this.” He yawned, jumping from one roof to another. When there were more people following Karyk with him, he could at least talk to them. Now he was all alone. “Hmm??” His expressions turned serious, noticing that Karyk was taking quite a long time inside the alley where he couldn’t see properly due to the distance and obstructions. He was about to move closer to see what was taking the young man so long. However, just as he took a step forward, Karyk left the alley. He again continued following him, thinking that he was overthinking. While the person left, following Karyk, he didn’t notice that another person left the alley in the entirely opposite direction, having a similar physique as Karyk. The only difference was that the person didn’t have any wings or traits of the fairy clan. “The shadow should keep him busy for some time,” the person mumbled as he walked away silently, having his hands in his pocket. Now that he was able to move freely without having to worry about his actions being detected, he went straight to the area where it was the easiest to find people with the ancient bloodlines. The targets that were marked by him, started disappearing one after another. It all happened swiftly when they were alone. Some people did notice that they were taking a long time to return, but they didn’t link it to them being kidnapped. The number of people from the Drike Family Territory in the Abyss kept on increasing, their abilities and bloodline information being transferred to Karyk. After gathering some confidence, Karyk even went after the members of the Drike Family, who were much weaker than Aelric. Even though they weren’t influential enough to attend the Banquet of the Drike Family, they were still children of the branch families of Drike. Although their bloodlines weren’t the purest, it was still of a much higher lineage. Even if it couldn’t be perfected like that of the Drike Family Leader, Karyk still found it quite useful. With the Drike Family, he now had another code in his bloodline that could be merged with other bloodlines to create something new and improved. Only when it was evening and time for return, he went to the same alley and started waiting for his shadow. Just like before, he recovered his shadow and left the alley, followed by the guard from a distance. Many people had disappeared in the Drike Family Territory today, including some Drike family members. He was sure that it was only a matter of time before there was going to be a commotion. He was trailed throughout the day. Even if someone wanted to blame it on him, they couldn’t do that. He had a witness, thanks to the constant trailing. And even if they discovered later that it was him, what could they even do? He was going to be leaving tonight. Even if there was commotion, they could do nothing to him. They couldn’t enter the battlefield after all. He returned to the estate where the family head was already waiting for him. He didn’t even allow Karyk to step foot inside the estate, asking him, “Follow me.”

Karyk followed the man without questioning him. Along the way, the family head told him that no one else knew where he was going. “The others are simply going to be informed that you chose to go to one of our territories to train. Even if you die, they will never find out what actually happened to you,” the family head said, as if trying to scare him. “There is still a chance to turn around. Are you sure you don’t want to give up?” His words sounded like the whispers of a demon, luring him to show his cowardice. The moment he did that, he was going to be killed. Instead of having to go against the Drike patriarch, Karyk chose to enter the battlefield. It was closely related to him after all. He refused the last offer of the family head as well. The two of them reached another battleship in the dock. “You can enter the ship. It will take you to the entrance of the battlefield. They will guide you through everything.”

Karyk nodded in silence and entered the ship, noticing there were quite a few people who had come to see him off. He could see the family head’s wife and his brother standing in the distance expressionlessly. “If I return, our relationship might be quite different. Until then, it’s not half bad.” Karyk thought to himself, gazing at the familiar faces before stepping inside the battleship.
