Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
chapter-380-30041322

There was complete silence. Only the sound of rain could be heard by the people in the surroundings. No one knew just what Gabriel said to Maya, but from the looks of it, his relationship with Maya wasn't as simple.

"We need to save her. Her life is in danger," Rem secretly sent a message to Eliana. "We can't let him do as he pleases."

Eliana was silent for some time, not reacting right away. After quite some time, she sighed and agreed to do it.

"Wait a second. Do it on my signal. At that time, I'll take all the other students to a safe place. You'll hold back Gabriel. After a few minutes, I'll be back."

The biggest obstruction for her were the students who could easily become collateral damage. She wanted to take all the students back as only she could take them back and return within a few minutes.

"Alright. Be quick. I am not sure how long he'll let her live!" Rem clenched his fists, prepared to attack Gabriel. He also sent the same message to the other Head Teachers, telling them the plan.

Eliana closed her eyes, calming her chaotic heart. Izen was already dead! She had to fill the shoes of the Dean now!

Even though Gabriel didn't show it on his face, he could notice that the Head Teachers appeared to be ready to attack him. He found it quite amusing.

'These people aren't half bad. To save a student, they're going to fight me? If only they were as brave in the past.'

Gabriel was still close to Maya who had prepared herself for the death that was to come. The only thing which she didn't understand was why Gabriel didn't kill her instantly. Instead, it looked as if Gabriel was momentarily distracted by the surroundings.

Maya mentally prepared herself and opened her eyes. Gabriel was also prepared for what was to come. However, just as the two sides were about to take action, both their expressions changed.

Something strange happened. The rain... It abruptly stopped. No... That wasn't it! As Gabriel looked around, he could see that the rain was still as intense as before. It's just that the rain wasn't falling over him or the Head Teachers. It was the same for the students!

Gabriel looked up, frowning. "Wind..."

As he looked up, he understood what was happening. It wasn't that the rain had stopped around them. Instead, it was because of some kind of barrier above their heads. And the barrier wasn't meant for them! It was meant for the two people who were standing mid-air in the sky.

It was as if one of the two people had cast a barrier to stop rain from touching them. Because they stood above Gabriel and the Head Teachers, the barrier protected the ones below from rain as well.

Amongst the two people in the sky, Gabriel recognised one! It was the Holy Priestess of Summoning Avilia. As for the other person, he hadn't seen him before, but he did recognise that person from the description that he heard, and thanks to the barrier that was used in the sky!

The second person was none other than the Holy Lord of Wind! The most mysterious Holy Lord out of all.

"How strange," the Holy Lord of Wind observed Gabriel. "I can't sense any aura from you, but at the same time, I can sense that you are no weaker than a Holy Lord."

"Are you the Holy Lord of Darkness?" he asked as he slowly came down, landing barely a few meters away from Gabriel.

Avilia had quite a complicated look on her face. She wanted Gabriel to avoid all unnecessary trouble as much as possible. Unfortunately, it was easy for a Holy Lord to sense Gabriel as long as they were in the near vicinity.

Since she was with the Holy Lord of Wind, she also had to accompany him here, even though she already knew what they were going to find. The only thing she could do was try to delay him, but that didn't work either. And here they were now, right before Gabriel.

What was even worse was that she couldn't show she was familiar with Gabriel. Many people knew that she was close to the unseen Holy Lord of Light. At the same time, quite a few knew what Gabriel looked like, and believed him to be the Holy Lord of Darkness.

If she sided with him at this point, it was going to alert all the other Churches to the point that they could assign even bigger threat to them. Currently, even though they took the Holy Lord of Darkness seriously, they didn't take him as seriously as they could.

But if Avilia was thrown in the mix, it was confirmed that they were going to feel even more threatened, to the extent that they were going to leave no stone unturned in their attempt to destroy them.

Her actions could also make the Holy Lord of Wind guess that Gabriel was also the Holy Lord of Light, which was even worse. The Holy Lord of Wind wasn't stupid after all.

To avoid that kind of situation, all she could do was treat Gabriel as a stranger and just watch how the situation developed.

Gabriel also understood what Avilia was thinking. He didn't want her to show her favour to him now either. Avilia was more like a spy in the group of the other Holy Lords. He didn't want this important piece to fall out of his chess board just because of a moment.

Seeing the two Holy Lords arrive, the Head Teachers couldn't be any happier! If there were two Holy Lords, they believed even Gabriel couldn't do anything! It was only a matter of time before the Holy Lord of Light also came out! Today was the day Gabriel died!

However, before that, they still had to protect the students since they didn't want Gabriel to use any hostages!

As Gabriel was distracted by the two Holy Lords, the Head Teachers took advantage of the situation. Eliana disappeared and the next moment, she appeared right before Gabriel. She placed her hand on Maya's back and the next second, both her and Maya disappeared!

She didn't leave with just Maya! She appeared before the other students and cast a flight spell on all of them at the same time, exhausting most of her strength!

At the same time, all the other Head Teachers surrounded Gabriel from all sides, as if providing backup to the two Holy Lords.
