In the blink of an eye, the bloodied knife was completely gone, disappearing entirely.
****
Janus watched Ryder slump forward, his body weakened by the unexpected attack. He had expected Ryder to fight back, or to defend himself, but instead, he simply collapsed onto the desk, right above the book.
The marker fell on the table, slowly rolling down before eventually falling off the table.
Even Janus hadn\'t foreseen the knife working so effectively. This particular blade was one of the two knives created by his Elder Brother. He had never seen his brother use them either.
All Janus knew was that his brother had always warned him to steer clear of the knife, saying that he would die if he got a cut from them.
Janus was unaware of its full capabilities, but he had only heard some vague words from his brother that this knife possessed the power to slay even their father.
Upon hearing such an explanation, Janus had been shocked, worried that his brother had crafted the blade with the intention of killing their father.
Moreover, soon after, their father mysteriously vanished. And one of the two knives had also gone missing, never to be seen again.
Janus had always suspected his brother of killing their father, yet he never asked Chaos about it since he loved his brother more than his father.
Subsequently, a war erupted against Chaos, diverting his attention from the knife. After that moment, this was the first time he had ignored his brother\'s words and held this knife.
It was all to kill someone that he wasn\'t confident about killing through normal means. However, no matter how highly he thought of the knife, he hadn\'t expected it to work so well. For some reason, he felt that it was a bit too easy.
At the back of his mind, he still felt that something was wrong. He didn\'t know if he was being paranoid because he had killed Ryder with such ease.
Janus gently rested his hand on Ryder\'s shoulder, allowing his aura to flow into his lifeless body, ensuring that he had indeed died.
As the energy enveloped Ryder, Janus sensed the absence of any signs of life. However, an unsettling sensation lingered within Janus, as if something was not quite right.
With a heavy heart, Janus withdrew his hand, his eyes brimming with a mixture of sorrow and regret.
"I never wanted it to end like this," he whispered, his voice filled with remorse. "Once all the threats for Caen have been removed and peace is restored, I promise to accompany you to the afterlife, where I will personally seek forgiveness."
Janus removed his hands, slowly leaving the room with heavy steps. With Ryder gone, he could now deal with the main problem. He could now kill the biggest obstruction in Caen\'s life at the moment.

"Do you have a way to enter the Central World?" Ezekiel asked Ryder and the Princess.
He had been on this mission for a long time, but even he never knew of any way to enter the Central World without getting Aliac\'s approval. If he knew, then he could\'ve solved this problem a long time ago.
In the past, he had tried many things to draw out Aliac from the Central World, but he had always failed. No matter what happened in the universe, Aliac never left his shell.
He was sure that it was going to be even harder now since Aliac and Karyk had killed an Elzerian. Both of them should know what it meant.
"If I had a way to enter, would I need to sacrifice my brother\'s life to take this kid\'s help?" the Princess of Elzeria snorted before glancing at Gabriel.
"Do what you\'re paid for," she spoke before taking out a hood that covered most of her face, hiding her Elzerian features and those peculiar eyes.
The core of this entire operation was Gabriel. Although she was the Princess, her brother had given the command of the entire mission to Gabriel. In this mission, Gabriel was on an equal standing with her, if not higher.
"If we can\'t force our way in, we\'ll make them invite us in," Gabriel replied, a plan already in his mind.
Along the way, he had thought a lot about it, wondering if he was doing the right thing. But whenever he thought about how easily Karyk abandoned him and his family, he was filled with anger and rage to the point that he wanted to crush Karyk.
Gabriel landed in the Northern World. Amongst the three remaining worlds in the Upper Realm, it was the most prominent one. It was also the one that was most important other than the Central World.
"You won\'t say anything," Gabriel reminded the Princess one last time.
The Princess and Ezekiel stepped behind Gabriel, both wondering how Gabriel was going to call Karyk and Aliac out.
They accessed the Portal that connected to Karyk\'s undead army. Although the Undead Army was connected to Karyk, but for the most part, Karyk had left him with Gabriel.
From the moment Gabriel met Ezekiel, he never used the Army as it was too weak at that point. But now, he had a use for that army.
One after another, he called the Undead Generals out of the Undead Domain of Karyk.
Although Gabriel was quite far from the nearest city, even then the aura of the Undead Army was strong enough to be felt throughout the continent.
Within minutes, all the Undead Generals were in front of Gabriel, one of them being a face that he still hadn\'t forgotten. It was Raphel that Gabriel himself had summoned.
Amongst all the Generals created by Karyk, only Raphael felt his own to him.
Gabriel told Raphel to stand behind him and close his eyes.
