42 City in the Afterlife (2/2)

”Do I need a reason? I'm his master. I'm just going to ask him how things are going,” Karl replied.

Although it seemed absurd that their master, the God of Death, had another master, for some reason, it sounded believable.

Karl gave off the aura of a god, just like Adum, only way stronger.

”I don't know if we can believe that. Our master is a god, and there's nothing else above a god.”

”It doesn't matter. I will meet with Adum either way. I assume he lives in that big building?” Karl let out an aura of dominance, making the residents that were watching the whole commotion go down on their knees.

The three guards somehow managed to keep their ground and manifested their weapons. A sword appeared for the guard at the front, a spear for the guard at the side, and a bow for the guard at the back.

”What did you do?” the guard asked.

It was indeed a sight. People were down on their knees, kneeling to Karl as a force pushed them down. The guards' legs were shaking as they tried to resist the power and stay standing up.

Karl didn't reply and started walking towards the big building that he suspected was Adum's home.

Seeing that Karl ignored them, one of the guards charged at him, its sword headed for his head. The other guard was right beside him, thrusting his spear at Karl's stomach. An arrow flew through the air, shot by the other guard, aiming for Karl's foot.

Karl didn't even care and kept on walking. Before the situation could escalate further, the guards' weapons disappeared, reduced to dust. The sword, spear, and the bow and arrow became dust.

”Stand down!” a Kaitera with glowing bright eyes said. This wasn't a normal Kaitera. This was Adum, the God of Death. He had detected his master's presence and went to check it, finding him attacked by the three guards. Immediately, he 'killed' the guards' weapons, turning them into dust.

Karl turned to see Adum. ”Adum, thank god you found me. That big building looks far away, and I don't know if I could walk that far.”

”Master, what are you doing here?” Adum looked at the big building. ”Did you think I lived there? That's a school.”

”School? What's taught there?” Karl asked.

”It's for the new Kaitera. The teachers teach them the dos and don'ts of transferring a soul to the afterlife. There's also a few more, but that's the main thing. Now, can you tell me why you're here?”

”Hmm, interesting. Instead of calling you to the console, I decided to come here and meet with you to see what has been happening in the afterlife.”

”I appreciate that you came here, but next time you do this, please inform me before you come. I'll tell you about what's been happening in my office.”
