Chapter 956: Taboo

Karyk was taken aback when he saw the face of the person standing before him. It was a face he could never forget because it was his own reflection staring back at him. 

In that moment, he couldn't help but wonder if Gabriel had somehow managed to find his way here, despite Karyk's instructions to seek safety elsewhere.

However, Karyk knew deep down that it couldn't be Gabriel. 

"No, it can't be him," Karyk muttered to himself, trying to dismiss the thought. 

The initial shock began to subside, and he started to believe that this was simply impossible. Even if Gabriel had wanted to reach this place, it would have been impossible.

Unable to contain his curiosity any longer, Karyk mustered the courage to speak to the person who bore his resemblance. 

"Who are you?" he asked, his voice filled with both confusion and caution.

The man placed his hand on his chest, bowing gracefully.
