Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
chapter-401

All the guards retreated by five hundred meters, increasing the security parameter while also giving Gabriel privacy. Although they were curious about what Gabriel was going to do there, none of them disobeyed the commands!

Gabriel stayed at the iron gates of the majestic garden, making sure that everyone had left. It was only after he made sure that everyone had left, he entered the garden of legacy. He didn't even open the door and simply jumped over the doors.

After Gabriel entered the garden, he raised his right hand and cast a barrier all around the garden, ensuring no one could see what was happening there.

From the distance, the guards couldn't see the barrier but even if they could, they wouldn't have guessed that it was cast by Gabriel and not by a treasure.

Gabriel brought out the four Heavenly Stones from the Book of Destiny and flew high in the sky. His main focus was on the center of the garden. Based on the center at the reference and the direction of the moon, he selected four points in four different edges of the garden.

He made sure that the direction and all the points that he selected were similar to the arrangement of the four stone pillars and the stone slab in the middle at the tomb.

He flew on one of the edges and placed a Heavenly Stone there before moving to a different edge and found the same. One after another, he did the same at four points.

He used all four stones before flying up again to confirm that there was nothing wrong.

After confirming everything, he still remained in the sky to see if something was going to change.

....

The night was silent. Even the sound of the wind couldn't be heard. Unfortunately, other than the winds abruptly stopping, nothing strange happened! There was no change in the garden. Everything looked exactly like before.

"This is strange. Did I guess wrong?" Gabriel wondered, slightly confused. "Or are the stones just not enough?"

"Even if the stones aren't enough, there should still be some movement if the formation was correct. Is the positioning wrong? Or did I understand everything wrong?"

"No, I can't give up after coming this far. If it's not about the missing stones and the positioning isn't wrong, then what's wrong should be that I'm still missing something... But what?"

Gabriel rubbed his chin, trying to visualize the tomb in place of the garden.

"The four stones are the four pillars. That's right. Then what?" He stopped focusing on the stones and instead turned his attention to the centre.

"The Stone Slab? Is it what I'm missing? Something that can take the place of the stone slab? The four pillars were a source of energy so the four Heavenly Stones can take their place. But the stone slab is different. I thought the garden center would act as the stone slab. Is that where I'm wrong?"

After wondering for some time, Gabriel landed near the center of the beautiful garden.

"The Stone Slab was the core. And it wasn't just the source of energy but something that had a world of its own inside. Is there really something that can take its place in this garden?"

Gabriel walked around the garden, thinking heavily. He went through all his Numens to see if there was something that could take the place of the stone slab in this formation but nothing appeared suitable.

At the same time, the buzzing of his ring of Necromancy also kept troubling him.

"I know! I know you want me to get what's in this garden, but at least give me time to think about how to get it!" Gabriel exclaimed, slightly frustrated at the constant buzzing in his hand.

"A stone slab with a world of its own... Something that can contain infinite Treasures like the Heavenly Stones inside... Wait... It's..." His eyes that were filled with trouble suddenly lit up as he thought of something!

"In this world, if there's a treasure that can contain a Heavenly Stone inside, isn't that the Holy Grimoires? I have two of them already! However, this place is related to Karyk! If I use the Grimoire of Necromancy as the core, would it work?"

After thinking for a little longer, he decided to give it a try. He called out his Grimoire of Necromancy.

The beautiful black ring that was constantly buzzing transformed into the Forbidden Book of Necromancy!

Gabriel grabbed the Grimoire and walked to the center of the garden. He placed the book on the ground exactly according to the formation and flew high in the sky so that he could see the entire garden property to see the changes!

The Holy Grimoire of Necromancy was placed on the ground, but it floated a few inches above the ground on its own! All the Heavenly Stones also flew higher by a few inches.

A beautiful threat of light shot out from the Heavenly Stones, joining up with the other Heavenly Stones!

Before long, a beautiful square could be seen from the sky, made purely of the threat of Heavenly Energy. After all the Heavenly Stones were connected with each other, all the Heavenly Stones connected with the Heavenly Grimoire in the center, transferring their energy to the Grimoire in unison!

The Grimoire didn't just take the energy! Instead, it was like a conduit that was purifying all the energy that it received from the Heavenly Stones, and amplifying only the Energy of Death before transferring it to the garden under it!

The aura of death infiltrated the Garden of Legacy where Gabriel had failed to even leave a single scratch!

Slowly, all the grass in the garden started turning black. The grass was shining in that mysterious darkness, making the scene look even more fascinating. It was as if the grass was lifeless yet had a life of its own!

Staying in that place, Gabriel felt as if it was even more soothing to his soul for some reason! It was as if his soul was getting stronger! Not just his soul but even his body was slowly getting stronger and improving each passing second under the mysterious energy! It was as if he was finally there... The place that was like his home!

"!!!"

Gabriel was distracted by the strange yet comfortable feeling. However, he was shocked to see a beam of energy suddenly shooting out of the Holy Grimoire of Necromancy toward the sky.

Subconsciously, Gabriel reacted fast and moved back, avoiding being hit by that beam of dark energy. He didn't know why, but he felt as if it was dangerous if he was hit by that!

The beam of dark light didn't even target him and shoot straight to the sky. It was as if a majestic tower of gods was created by that dark light that could be seen from every corner of the world! And indeed, it was noticed... By everyone... good and bad!
