Alazar found a hand lying near the crater. Seeing the hand, he was instantly able to recognize who it belonged to. It was the hand of his sister who had led the group here, but it didn't make sense to him.
The hand should've disappeared when she healed. So why was her hand still here? Before he could think about it, he saw more scenes that left him aghast. There were rings of his sister lying in the distance, covered in blood.
He rushed towards the rings. As he examined them, he realized that the rings were scattered in such a way that it formed a pattern, as if it was an intentional message left behind. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to understand the message. It wasn't the language of this world.
This message was intentional, as if left here by the intruder to show that he wasn't scared to reveal his identity or his affiliation.
Alazar remained silent, his expressions dark. With the sight that he saw around him, something had become abundantly clear. The person who did it was not from this world. Moreover, that person was somehow able to kill them.
The scenes here pointed towards the same notion that the people here weren't kidnapped. Instead, they were actually slaughtered. They were true immortals, but someone had managed to kill them. It was the first time that this had happened.
"The Forgotten Child..." The only clue that the King had was the name that he had received from the statue of Archangel. He didn't know how that person had managed to kill his people. There weren't any clues left behind, other than the fact that it was something that had neutralized their immortality.
His expressions remained grim as his terrifying killing intent shrouded the entire forest, which was already left razed in destruction.

Back in the Central World of the Upper Realm, Karyk stepped out of the portal in the basement of the palace.
His face was pale and his body left weakened with how much he had exhausted himself. A trail of blood trickled down from the corner of his lips. More trails of blood had come from his eyes, as if they were tears of blood.
He wasn't able to wipe the blood as even in his weakened condition, he was carrying another person on his back.
The Lord of Upper Realm Aliac had already passed out. Even though the attack didn't target him, but he was still hurt in the process to the point that he couldn't even maintain his consciousness.
Only Karyk knew how he dragged this guy all the way back. However, now that he was back, he finally breathed in relief.
He was back. Now he wasn't restricted by the strange element. He could recover his strength from the surroundings. Although it was a slow process, but it still made him recover to some extent.
After returning to the palace, he released Aliac, letting him fall to the group. He didn't even carry Aliac back upstairs or wait for him to wake up. He simply closed the door of the portal and sealed him with his Death Seal. With this, even Aliac couldn't open it this time.
He had a lot of questions about Elzeria, but with Aliac in an unconscious state, he couldn't ask for the time being.
Seemingly tired, he sat on the ground with his back resting against a wall, finally wiping the blood off his face.
He drank some water as he thought back to the battle. Although the other side was called immortal, but he had realized that the reality was far from it. They could be killed. Their bodies were filled with a strange energy that felt similar to the aura of life that could heal them infinitely.
But that also had its limits. The only problem was that no one had managed to damage them past that limit. It was hard after all. Even for him, he had to exhaust all his mana reserves to create the torrent of deathly mana to kill them.
After going through his awakening, his aura of death had become purer. It was a qualitative change that helped him this time. He was certain that if he had the same quality of death aura as the past, killing them would've been impossible.
Unfortunately, he still didn't understand why it was his aura that had become this pure. Even the Ancient God of Death of this world didn't have an aura like this. He wondered if it was related to his past.
Despite his purer element of death, he still had to struggle. Just to kill those few people, he was left in this condition despite his awakening. He couldn't think what would've happened if there were more people.
"Without 'Death', it's impossible to kill them. Just what are those people?" he thought out loud as he glanced towards the door in the distance.

At the same time as Karyk, Gabriel had also attacked the woman in front of him. He gave it his all in the attack. He even used the Aura of Abyss, his Element of Life and Death as well used fragments of his soul to activate the Sword of Life to kill the woman.
In the moment that the attack fell, it was as if the sky itself had split apart. If not for Janus and Ryder protecting earth, the entire world would've been annihilated with the stray aura of the attack that didn't even target earth.
Most of the attack had focused on the woman before him. What went to earth was only a small fragment of the attack, but that small fragment itself was harder to deal with.
Fortunately, Janus was the God that was able to hide the world and protect it from this attack, albeit barely.
As the attack fell, it was as if space and time itself had shattered. The woman was swallowed by the attack that appeared strong enough to destroy even the strongest of gods and demons.
After a long time, the spatial destruction disappeared and the sight became clear.
