Chapter 1054: Uninvited Guest

Karyk turned around to see a tall, elegant woman standing behind him. Just like the old man he had seen before, he couldn't feel even the slightest trace of aura from the woman. She appeared like an ordinary mortal. 

She was also the only person here who looked completely human with no strange physical traits that differentiated her. Still, it was clear that she was far from human. 

Her attire was simple yet majestic, adorned with symbols that Karyk couldn't recognise immediately.

"The Era of Destruction?" Karyk asked, studying her face for any hint of her identity.

Hearing his question, the woman's eyes revealed quite a surprise but she recovered quickly. 

"The Era of Destruction," she repeated, her voice barely audible. "A time when darkness nearly consumed everything, and only the bravest lights dared to resist."

Karyk heard her words, occasionally glancing at the portraits hanging on the wall.
