Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
chapter-522

The Upper Realm... Even though it was called one realm, it was in essence a group of five worlds, each having the densest elemental energy that no ordinary world could ever compare to.

Each of the five worlds was multiple times bigger than the world where Gabriel was born. If one was to compare, then Gabriel's world was not even one tenth the size of the smallest of the five upper realm worlds.

When one looks at the whole upper realm, Gabriel's world was only fiftieth the size. That was also why not many people paid attention to his world, until he came out of that place, and brought chaos to the upper realm along with him.

It was only at that point that the name of Earth started resounding in the Upper Realm, but only with hostility.

Even though Gabriel didn't randomly kill people in the upper realm, and only targeted a particular set of people to gather the life essence needed to bring his sister back, but that still wasn't enough for the people of the upper realm who hated and feared him.

Amongst the five worlds, the world at the center was the most protected, and also restricted. It was the place where the leader of the Upper Realm stayed after all.

The other four worlds surrounded the central world from four sides. Each of the four worlds was guarded by one of the four Generals that worked directly under the Upper Realm Overlord.

When last time Gabriel came to the Upper Realm, he had appeared in the Southern Upper World.

However, even for him, it proved to be almost impossible to reach the central Upper Realm world since even he couldn't open a portal to that place! The Central World was truly restricted! Only the four Generals could open the portal to the central world.

It was the same as last time. A portal opened in the Southern Upper World. Gabriel was the first person to step out of the portal, followed by Jia and the Goddess of Nature.

"Is this the Southern World?" Jia said, breathing in the distinct elemental aura. "From what I heard, even last time you came to this place first. Isn't it too dangerous to come to the same place twice? Since they already know you're back, it's even more dangerous to be here."

As she had loved in the upper realm for quite some time, she had a good understanding of the place. It doesn't take her long to realize where they were.

Gabriel appeared quite carefree, even as she expressed her concern.

"The most dangerous place is often the safest." After a moment, he finally spoke.

He also knew that the Upper Realm was probably on high alert. He expected that much. However, he was also sure that the four Generals weren't going to think that he was stupid enough to come from the same spot where he came last time. That's why, for him, this was the safest place.

He knew that they expected too much from him, and he took advantage of the situation.

Even though he brought Jia with him, it was only because she knew the latest changes in this world. His information was a thousand years old. He didn't know what kind of powers now existed in this world and what powerful clans had appeared ever since he disappeared.

He still remembered that the last time he was here, he didn't know anything about this world. He only wanted to gather some life essence from powerful mages.

It was when he was walking around this place that he met a young man, who was from a clan that resided nearby.

At that time, Gabriel didn't know that the clan was one of the three strongest clans in the Upper Realm.

To receive more information about this world, he went with the young man. Unfortunately, the situation deteriorated quite fast.

Even he hadn't expected the kind of hostility he received when people in the clan found out that he was from a lower realm. Those people acted as if he was some bacteria that could make them all sick.

What was even worse was that the clan then tried to kill and bury him.

"When one organization disappears, another appears to fill the void," he muttered, looking in a particular direction.

He had destroyed that entire clan the last time he was here. That was also what started his last journey in this world. However, he also knew that there was a reason one of the three strongest clans in the southern world was established in this place.

It was because of the resources available here. For those resources, he already expected another clan to have established themselves here in the last thousand years.

"Is there a clan nearby?" he asked. The last time, he was only here to gather enough life sources so he didn't care about anything else. However, this time, his goal was much bigger.

"Ah, yeah. The Wester Clan I think." Jia answered, after thinking for a brief moment. "After you left this place in ruins and left, there was said to be a battle between multiple clans to take control of this region."

"In that battle, the Wester Clan won. At that time, it used to be a large clan but not enough to compare to the top three clans. However, in the last thousand years, their strength has only increased. There are one of the five strongest clans in the Southern World."

Jia had also lived in the Southern World for quite some time, thus she knew quite a lot of information about the workings. There was another reason she knew of the Wester Clan so well.

"Even though the Wester Clan isn't the strongest, but even the strongest clans are careful around them. So it's better if we avoid them."

"Why would the stronger clans be apprehensive of them?" Gabriel asked, slightly curious. However, even as he asked, he didn't stop walking.

Even as Jia told him to avoid the Wester Clan, that was exactly where he was going.
