Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
chapter-444

"Should I call you Gabriel now, or Karyk?" Alion asked. He didn't even notice that there was a smile of relief on his face. After Karyk died, he had waited for this moment all his life. And now that the moment was here, it was as if a heavy stone was removed from his chest!

Gabriel rubbed the back of his neck, stretching his head. "You can call me anything. It's just a name."

He reached out his other hand toward his Ancestral Staff that was lying on the ground nearby.

The Ancestral Staff flew straight to him, directly entering his body. Even the Book of Necromancy that had always been in the form of a ring on his finger disappeared, entering his body.

He turned to the little girl next to him. In his first life, he had no interaction with the little girl. In fact, he hadn't even heard about her.

"You are called Jia?" he asked, looking at the little girl next to him.

The little girl who was brave ever since she came to this world found herself packing words for the first time.

"Y-yes, Lord Death Star!" the little girl went down on one knee, lowering her gaze.

Gabriel couldn't help but rub his forehead. He couldn't help but find this name to be slightly frustrating. "It's better if you don't call me by that name anymore."

The little girl frowned, wondering why Gabriel didn't like the name. Compared to her own name, this name was a thousand times better in her eyes.

"This name was given to him by her," Alion chimed in. "The person who was the first to work with the outsiders that led to this entire thing."

Gabriel took his gloves off. He didn't care about hiding his marks anymore.

After taking off his gloves, he glanced at the back of his left hand. "I also notice that I've received the blessing of her Element as well.."

"I don't know. I couldn't interfere too much. Still, I didn't expect her to do this," Alion responded.

Gabriel gazed at the clear sky above. "The Goddess of Light..."

He couldn't help but think of the past.

****

[Almost a thousand years ago...]

Karyk stood in the middle of the air. He had been fighting for many days straight. Not only did he kill thousands of beings much stronger than him in the battle but two entire continents were also destroyed in their battle.

Spatial cracks could be seen all around the world, as if the natural boundary of the world was also being destroyed in the battle of gods that was beyond the limit of this world.

Unfortunately, he was already injured before this battle and his injuries only kept increasing with time, making him weaker and weaker with each passing second.

Without the help of his army, he couldn't even get any auxiliary help to give him a moment to breathe.

His entire body was covered in blood. Some bleeding cuts could be seen all around his body, including on his cheeks.

No matter how many people he killed this time, more and more enemies kept coming up, as if killing him was their entire life's mission.

"We will see how long you survive!" A powerful voice echoed in the surrounding, coming from beyond the space and time barrier, as if it came from another world.

The voice clearly belonged to a person much stronger than anyone who was present here. Unfortunately, that person couldn't enter this world thanks to Karyk's shackles around the world.

Even with the help of insiders, only a small opening could be made in the barrier which allowed outsiders to enter. However, there was a limit to the strength of the person who could enter even after the flaw, which prevented beings much stronger from entering this place.

Unfortunately, even with all that, the ones who managed to enter were thousands of God-Level beings.

Karyk had been killing them for days, yet he was still surrounded by close to a thousand people, as if he hadn't made the slightest dent in their numbers.

"Don't worry! I'll show you how long I can survive!" Karyk roared, looking at the sky. "However, you should also think about how long you can survive yourself! I'll definitely come to greet you soon!"

Karyk clenched his fist firmly, ready for another barrage of attacks. No matter how much spiritual power he had, but in his injured condition, he was already getting exhausted.

What was worse was that all the intruders had sealed the Spiritual Strength in the air, preventing Karyk from recovering his strength at all!

Karyk didn't know if he could get through this battle or not. However, he did seem a bit concerned.

Throughout the battles, none had noticed that Karyk hadn't been focusing on too much defense in this battle! The only place he was protecting was his pocket.

There was a small stone fragment in his pockets. He pulled out the stone fragment from his pocket, holding it firmly in his hands.

Even though the space around them was sealed, making it impossible to teleport, Karyk still used all he had to open a small Spatial Portal, the size of a fist.

The portal appeared behind him. Fortunately, none noticed a portal the size of a small fist.

Karyk closed his eyes for a short moment, letting out a deep breath before tossing the small stone inside that portal.

As soon as the stone entered the portal, it closed. No one knew that Karyk sent the stone back to his Palace, along with a message for Alion. It was as if Karyk already expected that the chances of him leaving this place alive were close to none.

"Even if I'm weak, you'd all die before me!"

Now that he sent away the burden that was on his shoulders, he could finally let go. Even if he was to die, he wanted to have everyone else in this place accompany him to death with him!

"Don't give him a chance! Kill!" The leader of the group shouted, taking the lead and attacking first.

The god level attack destroyed the space around it as it shot straight to Karyk at the speed of lightning.

Karyk breathed calmly. It was as if he wasn't afraid of death. Even at this moment, his eyes were calm and serene. It was as if some part of him was waiting for his death... A death that kept avoiding him all this time.

He raised his right hand. If Karyk's aura was that of a person who could die at any moment, it suddenly transformed into a much stronger aura, full of vitality!

Only the people who lived in this world knew what that aura implied! It was the aura of a world level spell being cast!
