Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
chapter-355-30041322

The first Holy Lord glared at the second Holy Lord as her face turned slightly red. If glares could kill, the man would've been dead a thousand times by now. She was cursing the second Holy Lord in her heart so much for addressing her like that in front of a Junior!

Gabriel pretended to not notice and continued, "From the way he spoke, many things became clear. He only addressed you like that. He talks to everyone else like his junior. That's why I think you became a Holy Lord before him and everyone else. As for him, he should be the second Holy Lord of Light."

"I like this one," the Second Holy Lord laughed. "Little brat, your personality is quite similar to mine. Later, when it comes to selection, you should select me. My skills would suit you a lot."

"Selection?" Gabriel looked at the Second Holy Lord. "Can you tell me what Selection?"

"Why don't you guess that as well," the first Holy Lord jokingly stated.

"If I had a skill to predict the future like that, wouldn't I be a god?" Gabriel asked in return. "I'm just an ordinary human, so I'll have to rely on you all."

"Fine, fine. I was just joking." The first Holy Lord didn't continue messing with Gabriel. She quite liked the kid after all. "Let's get serious. We don't have much time here after all."

"As we already told you before, you aren't a Holy Lord yet. Even though you've been selected by the Holy Grimoire, that's the extent of it. So far, you have no spells from the Grimoire and if we don't agree, you won't get any spells either," the first Holy Lord explained. "To become a true Holy Lord, you need to get approval from us all."

"And what do I do to get your approval?" Gabriel asked, observing every Holy Lord around him.

He didn't really care about receiving the approval or spells of light as he already learned a lot of powerful spells of Light in the tower on the ninety ninth floor, but if he could get them, he was obviously willing to try. Each spell of a Grimoire was said to be as precious as an elixir of immortality after all.

"That depends on you. You can try anything you want. As long as you get all our approval, you will be set," the first Holy Lord explained.

"And what if someone isn't willing to give me their approval?" Gabriel inquired, especially looking in the direction of the ninth Holy Lord.

He wasn't sure if the others here could sense his other Elements since the gloves he received with his Ancestral Staff of Necromancy were still in his hands, hiding his Elemental Marks.

All these Holy Lords here were strong, but they were just a spiritual avatar. They weren't real. So it was unclear just how much of their old strength they possessed or how much they could sense.

From the reaction of the others toward him, Gabriel didn't think that they knew about him already being a Holy Lord of Necromancy. However, Guo's reaction made him think otherwise.

"Simple. If you can't get someone's approval, you still have a chance to pass the trial without their approval. There is another method. Unfortunately, succeeding like that is quite hard," the first Holy Lord answered. "Especially for a young one like you!"

"What other method?"

"Simple. Just beat them up until they give their approval," the Second Holy Lord smirked. "That is, if you are capable of that."

"If I'm not wrong, you're concerned about little Guo's approval, aren't you?" he further asked. "It's true that he has some bad blood with Dark Mages. You are tainted by the Dark Aura, even though it's very weak. You surely had a relationship with the Dark Mages."

"We don't care about that, but he might. He might not be willing to give you his approval," the first Holy Lord said, as if she was able to read Gabriel's mind. "We can't convince him for you. Everything depends on you at this point."

Gabriel finally understood just what this was about! At this point, everything was clear to him! These people really couldn't see his other Elements! The Gloves were working.

Unfortunately, even though they couldn't sense his other Elements, they could still see some hints of the Dark Element since he had used a Dark Element spell before entering this place to strengthen his physique just to be safe!

Because of that, they thought he had some friendship with the Dark Mages! The others didn't care about that. However, Guo was the one who waged a war with the Dark Mages. He clearly hated them.

'No wonder none of them seemed curious about my elements. They don't know yet! If it was their real body, they would've known right away!' Gabriel sighed in relief. With this, the approval process became much easier.

From what he understood, he could probably convince almost everyone with words. As for Guo, the man was strong. Fortunately, he was also the weakest out of all the Holy Lords here since he became a Holy Lord the last.

Fighting against the first and the second Holy Lord could've been harder, but with Guo, Gabriel felt he had a much better chance, even without his Necromancy and Darkness.

"Little brat, Guo is the weakest out of all of us. Even though it's not easy to defeat him, if you can, I will be willing to give you my approval!"

"If you can, me too!"

"If you can defeat a previous Holy Lord, that shows your capability. I would also be willing to agree."

Out of the eight remaining, seven had already agreed to give Gabriel an approval if he could defeat the ninth Holy Lord.

Though they all talked about testing Gabriel, Gabriel's face twitched in frustration. He was sure that these people had already decided to approve him.

However, just because they wanted some entertainment, they hid their approval behind him defeating Guo, not even giving him an opportunity to convince Guo using other methods.

Guo also felt his face twitched. All his Seniors were underestimating him so much. He couldn't believe that they all thought that he was so weak.

"Even though I might not be equal to you all in strength, if you think that a kid can defeat me, aren't you underestimating me too much?" Guo clenched his teeth in anger. "Anyway, if that's what you want, I'll agree! I'll show the kid the difference between heaven and earth!"

"And while I'm at it, I'll also deal a light punishment to him for working with the Dark Mages, even though I'd forbidden it!" The ninth Holy Lord stepped forward. With each of his steps, the space around him cracked, as if the space here wasn't enough to support his true strength!

"A person who ignores my commands and works with the Dark Mages has no right to get the blessing of Light!"
