Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
chapter-525

Gabriel had been walking on the streets for a long time, slowly advancing toward his destination, which was the Wester Clan palace in the next City. However, he didn't appear to be in any hurry.

He was instead curious about something else. Initially, not many people paid attention to him, but along the way, more and more people were looking at him.

For some reason, their gaze appeared to be of pity yet mockery at the same time. It was as if all the people knew something that he didn't.

Moreover, even though it was subtle, he could see some hate in the eyes of those people. It was as if they hated him, simply because he appeared to be a wealthy young master who didn't suffer like them. It was as if those people would've been happy if he was hurt or killed.

Even though Gabriel was intrigued, he didn't even try to talk to these people.

However, soon, his footsteps came to a halt. Even though the shadow horses were fast and didn't make much noise, he still felt them and the vibrations on the ground. It was as if multiple people were coming here.

Noticing their movements, he had a guess as to who these people were. It was clearly people from the Wester Clan. He finally understood what those gazes meant! The citizens of this city already knew about this.

They probably wanted him to somehow block or offend the Wester Clan and die in the process! That way, they would've expected the clan behind him to attack the Wester Clan, causing mutual destruction.

Since Gabriel didn't want to have any conflict with the Wester Clan, he decided to move and not block the path. He had much better things to do. However, before he could even take a single step to the side, he frowned.

The horses were still far away from him, yet he felt a blazing attack coming straight for his direction! What was worse was that this wasn't an attack that could be dodged. It was as if this spell had locked in on him. No matter where he moved, the blazing sphere was going to follow until it hit him.

"Watch out!" Even though Gabriel had already noticed it, Jia reacted first. She pulled out her heavy sword, moving before Gabriel.

Standing before Gabriel, she swung her heavy sword. The blazing sphere of flames that could destroy anything in its path was cut in two halves when faced with Jia's sword!

Even though Jia was also a Demigod level being like the youngsters, but she had lived a long life and had a lot of experience. Even amongst the Demigods, she was amongst the strongest! She had lived for more than a thousand years after all.

Moreover, since the red haired woman didn't use all her strength behind her attack, the attack was much weaker than it could've been!

The red haired woman from the Wester Clan was taken aback! She thought that a single attack was enough to kill all three people who appeared to have never used a single spell in their lives. However, to her surprise just the little girl alone had managed to destroy her attack.

She really wanted to stop there and take care of the girl, but she knew that if she did, she was going to lose this race! Her little brother wasn't going to stop here after all! She also couldn't delay for the time being since a lot of things were on the line in this bet.

"You didn't have to take action," Gabriel let out. "That level of attack was easy to handle for me."

"I know. But I don't want you to reveal yourself," Jia responded. "Leave such small matters to me."

She lowered her Sword, focusing her attention on the horses in the distance. Even though she didn't want to have any conflict with the Wester Clan which was close to a General, but she knew that things would've been much worse if she hadn't taken action!

She had already seen Gabriel's battle on earth. She knew that if he fought against these youngsters, he was probably going to kill them accidentally.

"Let me do the talking. I know a lot about the Upper Realm. If we pretend to be from another great clan, we should be safer. Moreover, we might also get an easier entry into the Wester Clan Palace," she reminded Gabriel.

Gabriel also knew what she was trying to do. Even though she wanted to save those youngsters from being killed by him, but she had another purpose.

If he had taken action, it would've been revealed that he was also a powerful mage. However, since she took action instead, even though she had been walking behind him all the time, it was enough to make others believe that she was her guard!

To have a Demigod level guard wasn't something special in the eyes of the Wester Clan. However, to have a Demigod level guard while being a mortal... That was enough to make the others curious about his identity.

Only High Ranking Clans would've bothered assigning guards to their heirs! While talented heirs would've had stronger guards, mortal heirs would've had Demigod level guards since the threat to their lives was minimal.

That's what Jia wanted others to believe... It was that he was an heir of some great clan who couldn't use magic!

After the initial attack, the red haired woman didn't attack again. She only signaled to her guard, who was following her secretly.

She didn't tell the guard to kill Gabriel. Instead, she sent her guard to find out more about Gabriel and to stop him from trying to interrupt the race.

A Shadow Guard appeared before Jia. His aura was stronger than Jia's aura, but it was weaker than the aura of the Goddess of Nature. Fortunately, her aura was hidden safely so that even the Shadow Guard couldn't sense it.

"Don't move if you don't want to die!" The Shadow Guard exclaimed, revealing a trace of his aura that was enough to send mortals down to their knees, shivering.

Unfortunately, to his surprise, it didn't have any effect. Gabriel remained in his place, calmly looking at the horses in the distance, as if he couldn't even feel that aura.

"It looks like you really are some big clan's heir, to even have a treasure to protect you from my aura." The Shadow Guard frowned.

In his eyes, Gabriel and the Goddess of Nature were just mortals who didn't have a shred of magic inside their bodies! However, for them to seem completely fine under his suppression, he thought they had some high ranking treasures given by their clans.

"Which Clan are you from?!" The Shadow Guard asked in a commanding tone.

However, his expressions soon went pale.
