Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
chapter-371-30041322

While Gabriel was facing the Heavenly Rupture, it was as if the Heaven and earth around him was splitting apart. Even the space was becoming unstable. It was as if the heavenly rupture wanted to destroy him from his core, ripping him apart entirely.

Even the self healing of the tower couldn't keep up with the destruction.

Gabriel was already exhausted. He had placed all his cards on the field already. Now it was up to his cards.

The Spectral Burst brought an explosive burst of energy around Gabriel's body, resisting the Heavenly Rupture. Fortunately, spectral Burst was also a spell of Light, which decreased the advantages Heavenly Rupture held against the other elements.

While Gabriel was facing the strongest attack of Izen head on, Izen wasn't in any better condition either. He was facing two of Gabriel's attacks at the same time.

Outside the Tower, no one could even sense an iota of energy fluctuations. None of them could even expect that the battle inside the tower was so fierce. All the saw was the shield of light around the Tower fluctuating slightly at times.

Avilia kept her eyes on the Tower of Challenges. Even she couldn't see inside the Tower. However, she could at least feel the spatial disturbance around her. It was clear that the battle inside was raging on.

To be able to affect the space outside the Tower despite the Barrier, Avilia understood just how fierce the battle inside the Tower was.

She personally had absolute confidence in being able to defeat Izen as her real strength relied on her Summoned Beasts and not her spells which could be nullified by Izen. She was Izen's bane. But it was different for Gabriel.

"I believe you will win..." She clenched her fist, having confidence in Gabriel. She hadn't seen him fight using his spells. At best, she saw him fight as a warrior in Arecia. She didn't know just what exactly Gabriel was capable of. However, she didn't want him to lose.

Unfortunately, as Avilia was focused on the tower, she felt a strange energy fluctuation around her.

She frowned as she turned around, sending the energy fluctuations becoming even stronger. The winds suddenly increased in speed, making even her long hair and robe flutter.

Before long, a man arrived behind Avilia, as if he had appeared out of thin air.

"You're here too," the young-looking man stopped next to Avilia, floating in the air. There was a surreal aura around the man that made him look no weaker than Avilia.

"Holy Lord of Wind," Avilia muttered. "What brought you here?"

She didn't express much surprise even though she was slightly shocked to find him here. His arrival here wasn't a good thing for her and Gabriel.

If the Holy Lord of Flames was the most straightforward Holy Lord who did as his heart desired, then the Holy Lord of Wind was entirely different. The Holy Lord of Wind rarely showed his true personality. If anything, he always hid in the shadows despite the immense strength he possessed.

It was said that when it came to the current generation of Holy Lords, the Holy Lord of Wind was the most cunning! There was never an instance where the Holy Lord of Wind was said to have made a mistake!

"Shouldn't I ask you this question, Lady Avilia? I had no idea that you'd be here." The Holy Lord of Wind asked as his eyes subconsciously glanced in the direction of the tower. "Why are you here?"

Even he could feel the spatial fluctuations as if a battle was taking place. There was no aura in those spatial fluctuations so he couldn't feel any element but it was clear that there was a battle of two giants going on.

"I'm not your subordinate. I can go anywhere I want," Avilia rolled her eyes. "I don't have to report to you."

The Holy Lord of Wind smirked but didn't reply. No one had ever seen him getting angry in the past. It was as if the guy never felt anger.

"The Holy Lord of Light is back it seems," the Holy Lord of Wind observed the Tower of Challenges carefully, noticing the white barrier around the tower which prevented him from looking inside.

He wanted to check from closer to see if he could sense anything. From his initial assumption, the Holy Lord of Light was figuring someone inside the tower and cast this barrier to stop any interference. However, that also raised a question. Just who was he fighting in a place like this?

The Holy Lord of Wind flew closer to the Tower and landed at the entrance, stunning the Head Teachers of the Academy.

Behind the Holy Lord of Wind, Avilia also landed.

Many people there recognised the Holy Lord of Wind, but rarely anyone recognised Avilia. If not for the powerful aura around her and the mask of Summoning on the back of her hand, many couldn't even guess that she was the Holy Lord of Summoning.

Eliana already knew Avilia as she had seen her outside the Church. To find two Holy Lords in front of them, even Avilia felt slightly concerned.

She couldn't help but wonder if the two Holy Lords were here to help the Holy Lord of Light! If that was the case, then it was really bad news for Izen!

"Who is the Holy Lord of Light fighting inside?" The Holy Lord of Wind asked before the Head Teachers could even speak.

After slight hesitation, Eliana responded. "He is fighting Lord Izen."

"Hmm? He's fighting Izen?"

This time, it was the turn of the Holy Lord of Wind to be surprised. Even he himself wasn't confident enough to be able to defeat Izen thanks to that robe of Nullification but the Holy Lord of Light was fighting?

"Why?" he asked. He didn't believe that the Holy Lord of Light who never made an appearance before was here to fight for no reason at all!

*****

Outside the Tower, Eliana was explaining everything that happened today from the moment the Holy Lord of Light arrived at the doors of the Church to the moment they started fighting.

Meanwhile on the inside, the battle had already neared the end.

Gabriel's lips were bleeding. There were many wounds on him, but over-all, he looked safe. He had come out of the Heavenly Rupture without being seriously hurt.

He was sitting on his knees at the moment, not even having the strength to stand. Despite strengthening his physique, casting four high tier spells was already beyond his limit.

His breathing was weak as he looked at Izen in the distance. Izen was still standing, looking down at Gabriel. However, something felt strange about him.

His robe of Nullification was already torn! It was as if Gabriel's Wrath of Undead and Dark Oasis had already surpassed the limit of the Robe of Nullification. The robe couldn't take it anymore and was finally destroyed.

Even though Izen was standing, his face was deathly pale at the moment. "H-how could you cast three high tier spells?"

Izen had never imagined that there was a person in this world who could cast three High Tier Spells simultaneously. Let alone someone who could survive and remain conscious after casting all these spells!

Gabriel's lips were bleeding and his aura was weak. However, despite that, there was a calm smile on his face.

Looking at the calm smile, Izen felt as if something was wrong. There was a feeling of fear in his heart, as if he was actually standing at death's door. However, he didn't understand why!

Even if his robe of Nullification was destroyed, he was still in a better condition than Gabriel! He was still standing and had the strength to cast more spells! Shouldn't Gabriel be scared instead? Why was Gabriel smiling? Something was really wrong.

"Not three spells," Gabriel answered weakly as he raised his hand, pointing behind Izen. "There is one more..."

As soon as Gabriel finished speaking, Izen felt as if his heart was gripped by fear!
