Chapter 1049: Because of you

Karyk's eyes narrowed as he hesitated for a moment before following Gabriel's instruction.

He lowered his gaze, scanning the ground around him. There, near the base of one of the remaining tombstones, was a small, intricately carved stone.

A fresh flower was placed in front of the stone. The flower was still fresh as if it hadn't been long since it had been plucked.

As he looked closer, he saw a name inscribed on the stone: "Zena."

In the surroundings, there were more tombstones, each having the name of someone he knew. There were the Demigods who helped him, as well as people who had helped Gabriel.

He already expected the others to be dead as they didn't have the lifespan of an immortal, but it should have been impossible for Zena and the Demigods.

"These... These are their graves?" Karyk's voice was barely more than a whisper, filled with disbelief.
