"Also, you're weak now. Can you even attend the banquet in this condition?' Gabriel further asked, letting out a calm response.
"You're not strong enough either," Karyk responded, without reacting much. "You need time to be able to understand the strength of your own body. I'm dropping this plan. We won't attend the banquet. I'll take care of the rest after I finish recovering. As for you, you're going back. Unless..."
"Unless...?"
"Unless you can show me that you're capable enough to protect yourself in this world." Karyk wasn't a person of many emotions. His emotions were only reserved for his friends and family. However, he also didn't want his other self to die for no reason.
At the same time, he also knew how stubborn his secondary soul was since he had been one with it. Just words weren't enough to convince Gabriel, so he used another method, all to protect this stubborn guy who didn't want to listen to him.
