Gabriel glanced at Ulesis in the distance, while all the Elders trembled on the side.

At the same time, the sound of the Stein Clan Mansion being destroyed filled the entire place.

The Elders who tried to escape were killed right away, as if not a single person was allowed to move.

Gazing at Ulesis, Gabriel didn't speak a single word. However, his gaze was enough to show his disappointment with her clan.

After some time, he finally stopped looking at her. He turned around, and walked out of the Hall.

He didn't care about killing the rest of the elders. There was no benefit of getting rid of the witnesses since the aura of death was already filling up this entire place. And many of the guards had already escaped as well.

He also didn't want to spend too much time here, since the Generals could get here anytime. He had to leave before that happened.

Ulesis didn't say a single word, even as Gabriel left the hall.

After stepping out of the Hall, Gabriel raised his hand lightly, gesturing the Ancient Golems to stop.

He stepped on the air, walking closer to the Giant Golems.

Gabriel knew that it was beneficial for him to have the two Giant Golems. However, he also knew that there were more drawbacks than benefits.

Firstly, the Golems were not Invincible. That's why the Founder of the Stein Clan had lost. When he was against the truly strong people these golems were nothing.

Another flaw was that they were too big, and couldn't be kept in the Shadow, a realm where Karyk's army was kept.

If he wanted to have them, he had to be followed by them in reality, which was no different than having a big target hanging over his head.

It not only would've interfered with his movements, but also troubled him in other ways.

And lastly, he didn't feel like having them in the first place. The more he thought about them and how they were made, the more disgusted he felt.

"I don't need your help anymore, so I grant you... Freedom." He placed his hands on the Golems.

With a single word of his, the two golems started developing cracks. Their bodies soon fell apart, while their souls slowly disintegrated, as if they were finally freed of this misery.

As the souls were destroyed, Gabriel could feel that even the souls were confused. They thought they would live like this for an eternity, but they were finally being freed. To them, death was a gift that they were waiting for.

Even though they couldn't speak, Gabriel had a feeling that they were thanking him as the last shreds of theirs disappeared.

Only the pieces of the golems were left behind on the ground, as if pieces of stones from a mountain. However, these stones were now useless.

After dealing with the matters at hand, Gabriel left the place.

He had no interest in getting in conflict with any General, since it could affect Karyk's plan. Both of them had their own goals at the time!

While Karyk had to get to the Central World to kill the King of the Upper Realm and uncover the secret of the Central World, Gabriel was to kill all the traitors, especially the Goddess of Light.

It was only after he killed the Goddess of Light, his control over his own element could increase.

****

Three weeks later, in an unknown part of the Northern World, a young man entered a city. His face was covered in a disguise, but no one could see through that disguise, at least not until they were at the level of the King of the Upper Realm.

The disguise was so perfect that it could even fool the Four Generals.

In the last three weeks, an explosive piece of news had spread. It was about the fall of the Stein Clan at the hands of Karyk!

Because of that, Karyk had once again entered the limelight. People were starting to talk about him again.

After disappearing for a long time, he appeared again and targeted one of the top clans!

With that news, everyone had found out that Karyk had reached the Northern Realm!

There was another piece of news. It was that the remnants of the Stein Clan had dispersed. There was no Stein Clan in the Northern Realm anymore! All the remaining Elders had Abandoned it, worried that Karyk might return.

And no one knew where Ulesis currently was. She had also left, taking everything precious in the clan with her.

That was the only information available for the public. However, for the top clans, there was more information available.

That information stunned them even more, especially the Skyler Clan Head, who was still trembling!

He couldn't believe that Karyk was right before him outside the Shadow Garden and he was being so disrespectful.

His entire body was drenched in sweat. He was so glad that he was still alive. However, from the rumors about her, it was clear that Karyk was a person who repaid all grudges

The Skyler Clan Head increased the security of his clan, and also prepared to escape if needed.

Another person who was surprised was the girl from the Northern Dragon Clan.

She was in a meeting with her father. She had already told her father everything that happened in the Shadow Garden.

Initially, she didn't think that Gabriel got the inheritance. However, now she was confused as well.

It was now well known that Gabriel was able to control the golems of the Stein Clan, which implied that he had the inheritance.

"So you're saying the Death Star owed you a favor?" The Head of the Northern Dragon Clan frowned.

The girl nodded. "At least that's what he said. According to him, if the request isn't overboard, he'll help me once. However, I'm not sure if he actually will, since that guy already lied to me once and I even believed him."

"It doesn't matter. If he actually wants to repay a favor, it can be a great opportunity for us!"
