Chapter 791 791: Trail
He had seen the reaction of his sister when the man was revealed in the mirror. It was certain that she knew him.
"I saw that person when I went out... Or rather someone who looks like him. Because I\'m certain this wasn\'t him."
"And how are you so certain that this man wasn\'t him if he looked completely identical?" The Emperor asked, his eyes sharp with curiosity.
"Because the person I saw... He was with me at the time this battle here took place," the sister replied, her brow furrowed in deep thought. "This man in the mirror was certainly someone else."
"Explain everything!" The Emperor demanded, his voice laced with a touch of frustration. Someone had died here. It was a change that no one had expected, so he couldn\'t ignore something like this.
If there were more people like this, then it was even more dangerous to let them leave.
The sister took a deep breath before she recounted everything that happened when she went to bring back Ezekiel.
The fact that his other sister returned alive despite facing someone who looked identical to Karyk, it had somewhat confirmed that the other person wasn\'t able to do something like this.
In the battle scene in the mirror, he was also able to confirm that the Lord of Upper Realm and the obstruction in their path wasn\'t capable of something like this. That meant for now, they only had to be focused on Karyk.
"From what I could see and understand, that brat had a good relationship with Ezekiel. It wasn\'t just good. He was even willing to risk his life to save Ezekiel," the woman explained, taking a glance at Ezekiel. "We might be able to use it to our advantage."
The Emperor didn\'t react, but he had also thought of the same thing. There were two possibilities for Karyk and Gabriel to look alike. One was that both of them were related somehow, which was the best outcome for them.
And the other possibility was that they weren\'t related but that still didn\'t change the fact that Gabriel was strong.
"I suppose you know what to do now?" The Emperor asked his sister, the meaning behind his words vague yet clear at the same time.

Gabriel traveled through the endless space, chasing after some remnant traces of the woman. No matter how careful she was, he was still able to find some traces in the spatial transfer.
Even since the woman left, he had been following the trail.
Chasing after the trail, Gabriel soon reached the same place where Ezekiel was born. It was the world that was hidden by Ezekiel in the past to prevent it from being destroyed.
Although Ezekiel had told the location of Gabriel, even Gabriel hadn\'t expected the trail was going to lead him here. But he also remembered that this was the place where Ezekiel met the mysterious person for the first time.
Gabriel landed in Elzeria, a hidden and enchanting world filled with lush forests and vibrant flora.
From what he knew, the world was left in ruins after the destruction with not a single blade of grass growing. But as Gabriel landed here, what he saw was a beautiful world, a scenery that was hard to find anywhere else.
This was a world that was reborn from all the destruction.
Gabriel didn\'t understand what led to the change. For thousands of years, this world was barren, but within a few months after Ezekiel hid it, it was flourishing.
He didn\'t know that it was also because Ezekiel had used half his life essence to nourish this world. He had also used the blood of the Gods that he had slain.
As Gabriel made his way through the forest, a peculiar sensation washed over him, causing him to pause. He couldn\'t ignore the mysterious energy that seemed to be affecting the space around him.
With an unwavering intuition, he became convinced that within this very location, a concealed spatial passage that not even the gods could find if they hadn\'t felt the aura of an Elzerian.
After fighting with the woman, Gabriel was even more sensitive to this strange elemental disturbance.
After searching for a short time, he stopped. There was nothing before him, but he was certain this was the place. Just half a meter away from him was a portal that led to the other side.
Unfortunately, finding the portal and activating it were two different things entirely. The Blood of an Elzerian or their aura... Only these two things could activate the hidden portal.
Gabriel brought out the sword of Life that he had used to fight the woman. Although the woman had healed, but her blood was still on Gabriel\'s sword.
Gabriel used the Sword of Life as the key. As soon as the blood came closer to the portal entrance, the inactive portal came into appearance, its aura becoming stronger than ever.
Holding the sword in his hands, Gabriel entered the portal. As soon as he stepped through, he felt a sudden surge of energy coursing through his body, a tingling sensation that made him feel that the space itself had transformed in the core essence.
He couldn\'t feel any of the elements that he was familiar with. All such elements had suddenly gotten weaker.
Although the spatial transfer lasted for only a second, for Gabriel, it was as if thousands of years had passed in the spatial tunnel. He had even forgotten how much time had passed, only coming to senses when he left the portal.
The portal closed behind him as Gabriel appeared in the ruined forest.
"You!"
As soon as he came to his senses, he saw many human-like beings in the distance, standing in a group.
To his surprise, every single one of them possessed captivating violet eyes. Among them stood the very woman who had abducted Ezekiel, with his lifeless body still adrift beside her.
