Chapter 900: Demolition Squad

"How kind of him to be our guide." Gabriel gazed at the unconscious man, slightly amused by Karyk's tactics. His idea wasn't bad. If they didn't have a guide, all they had to do was drag some back. "Shouldn't you have killed the others? If they notice someone missing, they might return and try to inform the others?" he further asked, thinking about returning for a short time to take care of the rest. Now that they had secured this place, they didn't need to worry about them crossing this portal and alerting the others as long as they were here. "Are you talking about them?" Karyk waved his hand. A portal opened above him, connecting to his spatial storage. Multiple pirates fell out of the portal. All of them were dead. And as they were killed, someone made sure to not harm the bodies much. It was clear who did it. "Looks like we really think the same." Gabriel shook his head lightly. "Next time, I'll keep my mouth shut."

"There's no need." Karyk sent the bodies back. "I prefer having someone to talk to."

Gabriel glanced back at Karyk, not saying much. Since they used to be the same person in the past, he knew that Karyk had lived most of his life alone, having no one to talk to. He was only accompanied by death most of his life. That's also why he started creating his undead Generals to keep him company. Although Gabriel was now a different person, that feeling was still intact. "How long until he's going to wake up?" he asked, changing the topic. "I can read his memories to make things easier."

"Be my guest." Karyk stepped back. Although he could also perform a soul search, he let Gabriel handle it. Gabriel stepped closer to the unconscious man. He placed his head on the man's forehead, closing his eyes to focus. As he delved into the man's memories, a flood of images and emotions washed over him, making him stumble briefly before regaining his balance. It was as if he had lived the life of that pirate. Although he had used this skill before, but this was his first time using this on an immortal being. It took him a moment to gather his own thoughts and separate reality from the memories he read. He didn't know that Karyk had lived through the memories of hundreds of immortal beings when he was in the Ancient Temple. That experience had changed him a lot. Gabriel sifted through the memories carefully, searching for the key information he needed. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"It seems we were right. These people weren't sent by the Sea King. That makes things a little easier." Gabriel searched the unconscious man, bringing out a few items that could be used to contact the Pirate Base. As there were a lot of Pirates, it was possible to recognise everyone's face. That's why, every pirate was issued a token that allowed them to enter the base. After taking the token, he tossed it towards Karyk. "You'll have to change your clothes."

"Are you really asking me to wear these clothes?" Karyk looked at the clothes of the Pirates that were dirty. The clothes had that pungent smell that seemed to linger in the air. "It should make things easier," Gabriel explained before he started stripping the unconscious man whose token he had taken. All the other bodies were bloody. Their clothes were also covered in blood. Karyk looked at Gabriel who had changed clothes swiftly. In the end, he also agreed to play along. He could use invisibility, but the base was going to have powerful pirates that could sense his presence. If he was invisible, it could only make them more suspicious. In the end, he selected a pirate whose clothes he took. He also took the token from the pirate. The two men that had donned a clean princely attire were now dressed in an attire that made them look like pirates. The clothes were covered in dust, appearing as if they hadn't been washed for months. Karyk used his abilities to remove the smell from the clothes to protect his senses. Gabriel also sealed his sense of smell when it came to the clothes. "Are you going to kill him? I don't see much use for him now." Gabriel looked at the unconscious Pirate who was half naked now. "It would be a hassle to drag him along. But he might come in handy. I suppose I can keep him alive for now." Karyk sent the unconscious man into the shadow realm where most of his Elzeiran Undeads were residing. Even if the man was going to wake up, he couldn't do anything to them. ....

Karyk and Gabriel walked towards the shore of the island, seemingly not in any hurry. They had just sent a signal to the base and it was going to take some time before a ship was sent here for them. To make their infiltration more effective, they used disguise to change their faces as they weren't sure if the ship that was sent to pick them up was going to have people who knew them. "In his memories, I saw that there used to be a temple here."

Walking back, Gabriel saw the rubble of an ancient temple in the distance. "It was said that the Temple was cursed so not even the Pirates used to come here."

"But one day, one of the pirate ships discovered that the Temple was left in ruins. It had broken down. The Pirates came to investigate, and that's when they discovered the portal."

Along the way, Gabriel explained to Karyk about the things he had learned from the pirate's memories. "It's interesting. The day this temple broke down, it was the same day that you left the Upper Realm for Elzeira. You wouldn't happen to have anything to do with it, right?" he asked, thinking of something. Karyk shrugged. "What do you take me as? Am I some kind of demolition squad that goes around destroying temples?"
