Chapter 784 784: Mirror Pair
The air around the strangers crackled with an aura of primal energy, and their presence radiated an otherworldly command over this strange new place.
It was a group of four, being led by a woman. Strangely enough, the woman looked completely identical to the woman who had attacked Gabriel back on earth.
The woman stopped right outside the barrier, her piercing eyes briefly locked onto the barrier as if she noticed something.
The barrier was slightly stronger, but she could also feel that there were some impurities in the energy of the barrier, as if another source of energy was momentarily mixed in.
The barrier was capable of purifying any unorthodox element, but since she could still sense it, it made her convinced that this energy wasn\'t absorbed long ago. Moreover, the energy was gathered at a specific part of the barrier as if someone had attacked it from the other side.
The corners of her lips crept up. She hadn\'t expected there to be any intruders at this moment.
Within moments, she breached the barrier with an ease that was almost insulting to Aliac. It was as if the barrier recognized her and allowed her passage.
"Are the guests going to reveal themselves?" she asked, her eyes playfully looking at the tree behind which Karyk and Aliac were standing.
It was as if she already knew where the two guests were standing.
Unlike her, the three Guards that arrived with her hadn\'t normal anything strange. The essence was so minute that even she barely noticed it.
Although they couldn\'t see the intruder, the Elzerians who accompanied the woman knew that she was never wrong. They immediately spread out, focusing on the tree.
At the same time, the three Elzerians attacked the tree from a distance.
The tree couldn\'t resist the attack and exploded. Fortunately, Aliac cast a barrier to protect himself and Karyk from the explosion on time.
"Just my luck that I had to meet a Royal." Aliac scratched the back of his head, as she stepped out of the clouds of fire.
Karyk remained in his place, his eyes paying attention to the woman who appeared to be leading the group.
"You\'re that insect who keeps blocking our path?" The woman looked at Aliac, a smile appearing on her lips.
She hadn\'t expected to meet the guest. In fact she hadn\'t even seen him before, but she was able to read his thoughts which allowed her to know that he was the one that had troubled them so much.
"To think that the turtle who never leaves his home would appear here. Is it my luck, or your bad luck?" She laughed. If her words didn\'t contain such a heavy killing intent, her laughter could\'ve mesmerized anyone.
Soon, she also noticed Karyk. She looked at the young man in the distance, but when she looked at him, her smile disappeared. She wasn\'t able to see through the thoughts of Karyk, as if there was a barrier in his mind that was preventing her.
Despite her skills, she failed to see through a man. It had never happened before, which slightly surprised her. Just who was that man?
"Is that how you welcome your guest?" Aliac retorted. Although he maintained a calm face, his inner thoughts were chaotic.
Just coming across the woman itself was a problem, but the longer they stayed here, the more dangerous it became if the others arrived.
He sent a mental transmission to Karyk, telling him to run without looking back on the count of three.
"What about you?" Karyk asked Aliac. He still didn\'t know the extent of the woman\'s abilities or if he could actually hold her back. Moreover, was there really a reason to run?
"I\'m not worried about her. I\'m worried about what she represents. If we have to fight here, we\'ll be at a disadvantage, especially since she can\'t be killed. And if something happens to us, then it\'ll be the end." Aliac remained firm in his stance, unaware that the woman could read his thoughts.
Very few Elzerians had these abilities to the point that Aliac had never come across one of them.
The Woman couldn\'t help but laugh in response. "I came here to welcome a few guests that were about to be brought back. But who would\'ve thought I\'d get to see you two as well. That makes things more fun."
Just as Aliac\'s count was about to end and he prepared to attack to distract her, the woman simply disappeared. Or rather, she moved so fast that it was almost impossible to see her movements for Aliac.
"Oh? You can keep up with me?" The woman\'s surprised voice came from behind Aliac.
To her surprise, Karyk hadn\'t taken his eyes off her and he was able to see her movement clearly. The woman didn\'t know why, but under Karyk\'s gaze, she felt strange. She couldn\'t understand this feeling. It was something uncomfortable.
Also turned around, cursing his luck. Just as he was about to attack and leave, the woman moved. And now she was blocking the exit while the three Elzerians blocked the other side.
"Looks like there\'s no other way but to fight..." Karyk spoke, raising his right hand.
Although the elements in this world were extremely weak, but he didn\'t need the surrounding elements anymore. After his awakening, he had become the element itself. He had become death.
Deathly aura condensed around his hand, taking the shape of a heavy sword.
"Oh, Mister Guest wants to fight?" The woman playfully asked. However her eyes didn\'t match her playful smile. Her eyes appeared cold.
She didn\'t like things that she couldn\'t understand, and Karyk was one of those things. And what she didn\'t like, she preferred to destroy.
On one side, Karyk prepared for a battle. On the other, Gabriel was fighting another woman that looked completely identical.
It was as if an identical battle pair was created on both sides. Gabriel looked like Karyk while the other woman looked like the ones before Karyk. However, there was something different at the core of each fighting pair.
