Chapter 960: Just Humans

As Karyk opened the book, a blinding light erupted from its pages, filling the room with a radiant glow. 

The dark-robed man shielded his eyes, momentarily blinded by the sudden burst of light. As the light subsided, the man opened his eyes, his expressions dark and filled with rage. 

"I really hoped that you wouldn't choose this method. But since you have decided to take this path, then I would also fulfill my promise."

He looked at the place where Karyk was previously standing. But this time, Karyk was nowhere to be found.

"The moment you return, I will dig every memory in your mind. And after that, I will kill you in the most painful way possible."

He really cherished his time. That's why he wanted Karyk to hand over the book. But instead, the book was used. 

Until Karyk experienced everything that was left to experience in the Book, he could not return. And until he returned, the man could not learn the contents of the book.
