Even if he wanted, he couldn't leave the man behind since he didn't know the direction or anything about this place. As much as he was helping the other side, it was all for his own benefits.
The Scholarly Man was excited as he heard Karyk's response.
"Thank you. Your help means more to me than you can imagine," the Scholarly Man said gratefully. "I will forever be in your debt."
Karyk nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. "Don't worry about it. It's a small thing."
With that, they set off towards the Celestial City. The Scholarly Man led the way, guiding Karyk through the endless sea.
Karyk couldn't help but be impressed by the man's stamina. Even as they flew for days straight, he was able to keep going without resting. Compared to his strength, his stamina was nothing to scoff at.
