The page itself had turned red in the man's blood. Looking at the mark on the page, Karyk could feel that he had probably written it while his hand was covered in blood.
"If he died that day, then what happened to Aether? Did the clans take it? No, if they had taken
it, why would the Angels be trying to find the key to enter this world?"
Reading the diary, Karyk had understood why the Angels were after him, and why the
battlefield where he appeared was different from what he had heard.
This world was divided in two parts. The outer part was where the heirs of the clans came to train and kill the beasts of this world.
Although the beasts were strong, but they weren't Aetherians. They were beasts born in this world with only a slight trace of abyss.
That's why tokens made from their bodies could only lead a person to the outer realm. To enter the inner realm, they needed an Aetherian, which he had believed to be an abyssal being.
"So the reason those beasts didn't attack me is because they thought I was one of them. They are Aetherians, but I am the same. I am also an Aetherian in a way."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Karyk closed the diary as everything started to make sense.
"When I was the abyss, did I devour an Aetherian to gain the trait? But that alone wouldn't have been enough, as I was still not a proper living entity. The angels wanted me to evolve into a living being so they could use me as the key?"
"They can't enter this place and the Aetherians probably won't leave this place. So they could only take roundabout routes."
"Is that why I felt sadness for him? Even if I had no relationship with him, I had devoured an Aetherian and gained their traits and memories that were erased during my evolution?"
Karyk appeared inside the forest. As soon as his feet landed on the soft grass, he found himself at a loss of words.
He looked around him and noticed thousands of Aetherian Beasts that had surrounded him from every side. The portal behind him also closed at the same time, not even letting him step back.
"Are you upset that I am bringing him here?" Karyk asked the beasts, realizing that they were intelligent beings.
If they were the Aetherians mentioned in the book, then they were far from normal.
Karyk searched through the crowd and found the beast that had led him previously.
"Are you not going to return to the human form?" he asked the beast who was silent for quite some time.
The beast howled at the sky. The other beasts also did the same as their bodies started transforming into humanoid form.
Although Karyk had read about this trait of Aetherians, watching it happened right before him was truly a new experience.
The thousands of beasts had turned into thousands of humans, each having a dense abyssal energy which was called Aether's Essence in this world.
"Did you enjoy messing with me before?" Karyk asked the leader of the group.
When he first came here, he had truly thought that he was trying to talk to a beast. If he knew better, he could've had more information about this world.
"If you can turn, why can't we?" The bare chested silver haired man asked Karyk. All of them were the same so why couldn't they turn when he could?
He didn't know that Karyk wasn't an Aetherian Beast who had learned to return to his human
