Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
chapter-584

And various clans were uncertain about Gabriel's future. Even though they were quite curious, most of them considered him dead in any case.

They focused more on the people who were still inside the Shadow Garden.

While the other clans waited, the Stein Clan finally departed from the Beast Region.

It was only when they came out of the Beast Region that the Patriarch of the Stein Clan called out the meeting of Various Elders.

The meeting was attended by his daughter as well. It was in this meeting that the Patriarch told the truth about Gabriel to everyone.

He told everyone that whatever Gabriel did, was a part of their plan, including their fight.

His words were enough to stun everyone. Many people complained about why they weren't told about such an important thing.

On the other hand, Ulesis was in disbelief. She didn't know why, but she felt angry at her father, while also feeling happy that Gabriel hadn't betrayed them. It meant she hadn't trusted the wrong people.

The Patriarch of the Stein Clan didn't give any explanations. He just told the Elders to remember it, so that they didn't offend Gabriel since he had told him that he was going to get to their clan later.

"Do you think he can even return alive? Should we have tried to help him?" One of the Elders asked.

"Don't worry. I don't think he's a person who will die so easily. Also, the Beasts didn't look like they meant him any harm. He will return... And maybe with a great surprise that will shake the entire Northern World."

"But until then, we have no choice but to trust Gabriel's words and wait for his return." The leader of the clan said with a reassuring tone.

The Elders nodded in agreement, knowing that Gabriel was someone that they couldn't underestimate. They could only hope for his safe return and whatever surprise he may bring.

Back in the Beast Region, Gabriel was walking next to the Beast Overlords.

None of them spoke anything for quite some time. Even Gabriel didn't ask anything. If anything, he focused more on the strange aura in his surroundings that felt very comfortable.

He also observed the Beast Overlords. It was impossible to judge how old they were. Howev, one thing was certain. They were strong... Strong enough to be a serious threat to the entire Upper Realm.

"You look like you have a lot of questions." The Beast Overlord, having Lion's features asked, as he continued drinking the wine in his hand. However, for some reason, Gabriel could smell the scent of blood from the jar of wine.

"What do you want from me?" Gabriel asked after a long time. "I am weak, compared to you all. If you want, you can leave this place, and take over the entire Upper Realm. So why did you look for me?"

"Leave this place?" The Beast Overlords laughed. "There is no way we would've lived here if we could leave."

Gabriel frowned. The Beast Overlords couldn't leave? Why? He hadn't sensed any seal when he came here. So why couldn't they leave?

"Is it because you're scared of the King of the Upper Realm?" Gabriel asked.

All the Beast Overlords stopped in their tracks, before gazing at Gabriel. However, before long, they all burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, scared of that little brat?"

"Hahaha, we're not that pathetic!"

"It's been so long since I laughed this much! Scared of that guy! Hahaha!'

All the Beast Overlords burst into laughter, as if they had heard the funniest thing in their entire life.

From their words, it didn't look like they even took the King of Upper Realm seriously at all.

"In the grand scheme of things, that guy is nothing but an ant!" One of the Beast Overlords let out a sigh. "The reason why we don't leave is because of something else."

"What?" Gabriel inquired, having a feeling that it was related to the skeleton he possessed and the Monarch of Blood that destroyed the Nether Realm.

One of the Beast Overlords looked up, glancing at the shadowy sky.

"Before we tell you anything, you need to answer us. Why do we feel the aura of the God Beast coming from you? And it's not an aura that contains any hostility for you. So why?" One of the Beast Overlords asked.

This was the only thing they were curious about, at least for now. That's the whole reason they moved in the first place.

"Before I tell you anything, I want an answer as well." Gabriel didn't answer directly. He still didn't know if he could trust them entirely.

"Ask."

"Do you know the woman inside the Shadow Garden?" Gabriel inquired.

"Woman inside the shadow garden? So you even met her?" All the Beast Lords revealed some surprise, as they looked at each other.

"If he's still alive even after meeting her, that means she approves of him."

"That's surprising. No wonder I felt her aura on him. I thought it was my misconception. So he really did meet her."

All the Beast Overlords started talking amongst themselves, leaving Gabriel confused.

He wondered who this woman in the shadow garden could be and why meeting her was such a big deal for them.

As he waited for them to finish discussing, he couldn't help but feel a sense of intrigue and curiosity about the mysterious woman. However, he knew better than to pry and patiently waited for them to include him in the conversation again.

"You asked us who she is?" After a long time, the Beast Overlords stopped and started paying attention to Gabriel again.

Gabriel nodded in response.

After a brief pause, one of the Beast Overlords replied, "She's the only one who survived the onslaught of Chaos and Janus... And managed to escape."

"Chaos and Janus?" Gabriel frowned. He didn't know why, but he felt some familiarity with those names. However, he didn't know why. The names themselves seemed to contain some special power.

"Who are they?" he further asked.
