Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
chapter-501

****

"This is getting crazier than I expected." The Holy Lord of Wind still remained inside the Royal Capital of Arecia. He wasn't the least interested in joining the battle against Gabriel since he had a feeling that this wasn't going to go the way they all planned.

Unlike the other Holy Lords, he had been in contact with the Goddess of Wind and knew much more than the others.

Through the Goddess of Wind, he knew all too well the terror of Karyk! In fact, even though the Goddess of Wind was in the Upper Realm, far away from earth, he could still feel the trembling and fear in her voice when she talked about Karyk.

Thanks to that knowledge,he never dared to enter a conflict with Karyk. For him, his life was more important than anything. Moreover, it was stupid to join the losing cause.

Instead, now that the battle was almost over, he entered the Royal Palace to take action.

Currently, the only person close to him that he knew about was Avilia. He wanted to save her to show that he had no ill intentions.

Since most of the Templars had already left the Royal Palace to fight Gabriel, there were only ordinary guards left in the place. Taking care of ordinary guards was like child's play for him

There was no one in the Palace who could stop him. He was like the wind itself.

Within a few minutes, he entered the Royal Chamber where Avilia was sitting on her knees with her hands tied behind her back.

Avilia was really curious as to how the battle was going. She could only hear sounds of explosion or feel the trembling of grounds, along with a terrifying aura in the sky. However, she didn't know who that aura belonged to.

The shackles had sealed all her abilities, leaving her no different than an ordinary human as long as she was imprisoned.

"You seem to be enjoying your vacation in the Royal Palace."

Calm footsteps resounded at the entrance of the Royal Chamber. Avilia was slightly surprised to see the Holy Lord of Wind step out.

"Why are you here?" Avilia asked, frowning.

"Of course to save you. Why else?" The Holy Lord of the Wind answered. "I'd been waiting for an opportunity to sneak inside and free you. Unfortunately, it wasn't easy since I was on the radar of the Templars ever since I refused to join them against Gabriel."

"Why are you doing this? Why don't you side with them like everyone else?" Avilia inquired, not understanding what this guy was thinking.

"Are you that eager to see me die?" The Holy Lord of Wind chuckled. He snapped his fingers, destroying the shackles that had tied Avilia. "I just want to live in peace, taking no part in any conflict. You know how I am."

He reached out his hand to help Avilia up. However, Avilia didn't take his hands and pushed herself up on her own, even when her body was weak.

The Holy Lord of Wind awkwardly retracted his hand. "Are you worried about the situation on the battlefield?"

Avilia didn't answer. However, from her expressions, it was clear. All the Templars had gone to kill Gabriel after all. Even if it was her, she would've died a thousand times if she was faced with something like that, let alone Gabriel.

"You really underestimate him, don't you?" The Holy Lord of Wind could only shake his head lightly. "You probably already know his real identity. Let me tell you, he seems to be safe, albeit a little hurt. Moreover, the war is almost over."

"Huh?!" Avilia exclaimed in surprise.

"All the Templars that came to kill him have already died. All the Holy Lords who joined the war are also dead. The battle... It's almost over!" The Holy Lord of Wind walked toward the exit.

He could've broken the roof to leave, but he knew how much importance this city had for Gabriel. He didn't want to damage it and end up upsetting him. He still wanted to live after all.

Avilia followed him outside the palace, growing even more stunned to feel the aura of death everywhere! Even the sky had turned pitch black! It was as if a god was descending to this world!

Moreover, she also felt that her own element was slightly weaker in this world now. It was the same for the Holy Lord of Wind.

In this world, it had suddenly become much harder for them to use their elements to their still potential.

A war had destroyed the balance of elements in the past, granting abilities to others. However, another war seemed to have changed the situation entirely.

She flew high in the sky, looking at the Battlefield in the distance! Even from this distance, she could see that the entire battlefield had been painted red in blood!

Meanwhile in the Temple of Time, the Leader was sitting with a grim face.

It was just as he expected. The armies stood no chance before that demon who was even stronger than he used to be in the past!

He couldn't help but feel somewhat relieved that he hadn't joined that battle. However, he was also somewhat scared about the future if Gabriel's spell succeeded.

On the other hand, Lambard and his maid had already left the Battlefield right at the start. Even without his Numens, Lambard still had his maid who could use her abilities. She took him away from the battlefield, saving his life.

Lambard was assured that he would've been dead if he had stayed behind, next from the aftershocks.

****

The new equilibrium of the world was being broken. It was as if earth was separating from this universe, entering a dimension of its own... A dimension created by Gabriel. This was a change that even the true gods couldn't ignore!

Amidst all the cracks that were opening up in the sky, a pitch black void appeared!

A lightning bolt fell from the void as if it came straight from the seventh heaven.

The blinding flash made many people close their eyes. By the time they opened their eyes, they saw a proud figure standing in the distance.

All the Mages that were still alive went down on their knees, stopping all the attacks. Just the aura of that man alone was enough to make them tremble. The aura felt somewhat stronger than Gabriel!

It was as if a true god had arrived in the world of the mortals to stop the earth from being forced to separate from the natural laws of the universe. This kind of disturbance was something that could make the entire universe unstable after all.
