Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
chapter-403

Gabriel was still present inside the Garden of Legacy. Looking at the tower of light before him, even he was slightly worried. There was no way such a big disturbance wasn't going to be noticed by the others. It was clear to him.

"I didn't expect the disturbance to be so big."

He didn't realize that he had still underestimated just the kind of disturbance he had caused.

The Holy Grimoire of Necromancy was at the core of that bright beam of light. Even he couldn't get close to the Forbidden Book of Necromancy. He could only watch from a distance.

He didn't even understand just what exactly was happening. So far, other than the beam of light, he hadn't noticed anything else in this garden. However, he did sense that his strength was slowly increasing.

It was as if the natural energy in the Empire of Arecia had improved multiple times but only for him! He could even feel the aura of death in the wind itself!

The bright beam of light didn't last for a long time. After only fifteen minutes, the bright light slowly started dispersing. However, the light didn't just get destroyed! Instead, the beam of light spread all around the Empire, forming some kind of natural barrier around the Empire of Arecia!

It was as if the entire Empire was covered in a majestic black dome. It was impossible to look through the barrier for ordinary people, let alone pass through it. Even mages could only barely see through the barrier.

After the barrier appeared, the book of Grimoire floated straight to Gabriel. Gabriel reached out his hand to touch the Holy Grimoire, but before his fingers could even land on the Grimoire, the Holy Grimoire opened on its own!

The pages started flipping on their own until a blank page was opened.

Gabriel was fascinated to see the book open on its own! It only happened when he was receiving a new spell! Everything appeared similar!

Just as he expected, words started appearing on the blank page! Surprisingly, the title was blank! The spell... It had no name! Not only did it have no name, not even the rank was left as a blank! He didn't know if it was a high tier spell or a low tier spell. However, since it appeared now, he tried to convince himself that the spell couldn't be bad.

There was also no description of that spell! There was only the chant that Gabriel could read but not understand! It was as if there were some foreign language words that he couldn't understand!

He could feel a strange power coming from those words. It was as if he was already very familiar with them, even though he didn't understand them.

There were no warnings about this spell. No limitations were mentioned and he couldn't even see just how much strength this spell consumed. It was also unclear if the spell was an offensive spell, or defensive? Or something else entirely?

He wanted to test the spell, but without knowing what it was, he hesitated.

"If this is a weak spell, it is fine. However, if it is an offensive spell which is even more powerful than the wrath of undead, then would the entire city be destroyed under it? Should I test it in some barren land?" He wondered, as if talking to himself. There were a lot of considerations to take into account.

"The Grimoire wouldn't give me an offensive spell without description, would it?" He went through the spell again, trying to see if he could grasp something from it. "This spell only appeared after I went through so much to uncover the secret of this garden but that still isn't finished. Is this spell related to this garden?"

"If this spell is a way to uncover the secret of this place, it would be a real loss if I miss this chance. I can't find more Heavenly Stones for another such opportunity. Should I really take the risk?"

In the end, he was in conflict with himself. On one side, he wanted to take the risk to achieve his goal. On the other hand, he wanted to be cautious. This beam of light had made such a huge commotion that Gabriel was sure the other Heavenly Lords were already on their way. If he used this spell, and it was a high tier offensive spell, it was just a waste of his strength!

If this spell consumed all his strength in exchange for destroying this city, not only was he going to lose this city but also he was going to be at his weakest when the Holy Lords arrived to attack him.

"If that happens, I can't even rely on Avilia to help me!"

"Argh, forget it! I can't miss this opportunity after coming this far!"

After a long back and forth, in the end, Gabriel managed to convince himself and take the risk! He didn't want to miss this opportunity or rely on others! If it was really something bad for him, then he left it for later. He didn't think the Grimoire would actually do something to harm him!

He memorized the spell and used wordless chants to cast the spell.

After a few seconds, Gabriel's expressions changed. He opened his eyes, frowning.

"Hmm? The wordless chant can't be used with this spell? That's strange. Just what is this spell?"

With wordless chant being useless, Gabriel decided to take the long route and actually chant the spell.

With each word he chanted, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if he had used such words thousands of times before! It was as if he was already familiar with this spell, even though it was his first time using this.

Moreover, as he continued chanting the spell, something strange was happening under his feet. The entire ground that was covered in black grass now was changing slowly!

All the grass broke apart slowly and turned into specks of darkness! Gabriel's body started rising in the sky on its own while the ground continued changing!

From this height, when he looked down, it was as if he was looking at a pitch black abyss! Other than darkness, nothing could be seen in the garden! Even he couldn't see through that darkness!

What was even more bizarre was that each word he finished from the chant, hundreds of evil spirits rushed out of the Holy Grimoire of Necromancy and disappeared into the dark abyss in the garden!

Gabriel didn't have time to stop or even think about it and continued chanting the nameless spell, getting closer and closer to the end!
