Chapter 1064: Chapter 1064: Spirit of a Warrior
Karyk, now disguised as a fairy-like being, emerged from the ship and swiftly flew towards the young man who was fighting the Angels alone.
The Angels seemed surprised by Karyk's sudden appearance, but they didn't stop their attacks.
"I will keep this one busy. You can take care of the other," Karyk told the young man without even bothering to identify himself.
He blocked the attack of the Angel, using the barrier of the fairies that was further modified with his own undead essence that he secretly hid within the barrier.
Even though it was his strongest barrier when he didn't use the abyss, it was still barely able to hold a single attack of the Angel.
The young man eyed Karyk skeptically, not fully trusting this unexpected ally.
"Who are you and why are you helping me?" he demanded.
"You looked like you could use some help. In any case, that's not important right now," Karyk replied calmly. "What matters is that we work together to fend off these Angels. I can distract one while you focus on the other."
Seeing the young man still hesitating in his suspicions, Karyk further stated, "If you don't want my help, I can just leave. The decision is yours. Should I help or not?"
The young man hesitated, but ultimately nodded in agreement. He knew he couldn't defeat both Angels on his own, and this stranger seemed powerful enough to be of assistance.
Karyk turned to face the Angel he had positioned himself against.
Meanwhile, the young man surged forward, his sword glowing with an intense light as he clashed with the other Angel. Once again, the very fabric of space trembled with each swing of the man's blade.
Now that the man didn't have to worry about protecting himself and the ship from the sudden attacks of the second angel, he could put all his focus on annihilating the other.
As Karyk didn't want to reveal his true identity, he refrained from using his core abilities. In any case, he didn't need to kill the angel.
He just had to keep it distracted until the young man finished off the other one and came to his aid.
When it came to keeping the Angels occupied, Karyk was quite capable. He didn't even need to rely on the abyss. His body had already been modified to contain the strength of a Titan and the essence of fairies and demons.
Even without using any of his core abilities, Karyk was still strong enough to at least survive against a mere angel for a few minutes.
Just as he expected, the young man didn't take long to finish the angel when he could put all his focus on attacking.
Karyk simply saw a bright light flash across the space while the Angel's giant body was sliced in two by the young man's blade.
"I shall thank you for keeping this one busy. However, I shall be the one to kill him," he declared.
The young man didn't waste a single second after killing the angel, which had been his target. He quickly came to Karyk's aid, or rather, he came back to settle the score with the second angel, which had been annoying him like a persistent fly earlier.
The Angel tried to retaliate, but the young man's blade seemed to slice through its attacks with ease.
The more Karyk watched him fight, the more certain he became that the young man's sword was quite special. It was less about his own Bloodline and more about his Sword.
At the same time, the sword didn't appear to be an object for him. Instead it felt more like an extension of his own body that had become one with him.
Karyk maintained his disguise, ready to lend aid if needed, but the young man appeared to have the upper hand. His strikes grew more relentless, pushing the Angel back with each passing moment.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Finally, with a swing, the young man's sword cleaved through the Angel's body, killing the second angel as well.
Even after killing the second angel, the man didn't stop. He kept cleaving the Angel's body even more brutally, turning the giant body into human sized pieces that floated in space.
It was as if he wanted to leave a memorable gift for the Angels that were going to come to recover these bodies. These bastards dared to attack him. Now that their conflict had reached this point, there was no need to be considerate.
Karyk approached the young man, his expression unreadable.
"You are quite strong," he remarked.
The young man eyed Karyk warily, still unsure of this mysterious ally.
When everyone else refused to even stay behind to help, a man appeared out of nowhere? It was too strange, especially since it was the first time he was seeing a physique like that. "Who are you, and why did you help me?" He aimed his sword at Karyk. "I hope you think about your answer carefully. If you lie, then I will forget that you helped me."
Karyk paused briefly before answering, "My name is Kalyn, and I simply saw an opportunity to lend a hand to one in need. I have no ulterior motive, I assure you."
"How did you judge that it was right to help me? What if I was a bad person?" the young man asked.
"You don't appear like a bad person. In any case, two angels ganging up on one person? It didn't take much effort to guess who needed help," Karyk answered.
"As a warrior, I wouldn't have cared if it was a one-on-one battle, but not what I saw," he further explained. "In any case, I already know what a vile existence these angels are. So maybe I was also partially biased against them."
Hearing Karyk's reaction, the young man couldn't help but laugh.
He nodded slowly, his suspicion lessened but not entirely gone. "Very interesting. You seem to have a warrior's spirit. Though you're right, they are truly vile creatures. It's no wonder that many people hate them."
