Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

"How long do I have to eat this medicine? When will my training start?" Karyk asked the maid who delivered him the strange pills.

It had been over a month since the four Overlords took him as a disciple but they didn't even show themselves.

There was no training or anything. If anything, he was only supposed to eat these medicines every day. And the number of pills he was given was only increasing.

Unfortunately, no one knew that he wasn't eating a single pill and only pretending while gathering information about the path to the Central World.

So far, he has managed to find out something important. There was said to be only one way to enter the Central World. And it was by collecting four keys from all four of the Generals.

One when the four keys were used simultaneously, could the path to the Central World be opened.

Unfortunately, the Four Monarchs didn't carry the keys with themselves, which made it even hard for Gabriel to find them.

Another thing he found out was that if a General was to die, then their key was going to be destroyed on their own, which made it impossible for it to be used. So he couldn't just kill them and then search for the keys either.

He could imprison them, but it wasn't easy even for him. He could do it, but not without attracting too much attention, which was even worse for him.

There were so many problems in the path that led him to the four keys. So far, he only knew about one key... The Key of the Southern General, who used it like a pendant around his neck.

That was the easiest. However the other three Generals were more cunning.

"The Generals said that your training will start after six months in the Central World. So stop complaining and just eat the pills."

The maid placed the pills in Karyk's hands, and gazed at him.

It was only when Karyk placed the pills in his mouth and swallowed, she left.

As soon as she left, Karyk raised his tongue, pulling out the two pills that he was thought to have eaten.

"In six months, the Central World? Just what are these four plans?" Gazing at the pills in his hand, Karyk commented, as if talking to himself.

Throughout the month, Gabriel tried to master the Words of Universal Laws.

He used his fingers, creating a character before him in empty air. A streak of elemental aura was left behind, wherever his finger moved, as if his fingers were the pen, and the elemental aura was the ink.

Unfortunately, it wasn't easy. For some reason, he noticed that he was wasting too much energy. By the time he was about to complete the characters, he mostly ran out of all his energy reserves.

Another thing of interest that he noticed was that every time he practiced making these characters, the elemental energy reserves inside his body were increasing, ever so minutely.

He wanted to explore this further and find a way to efficiently use the energy while making the elemental aura characters. He was determined to master this art and create something great.

He continued to practice, focusing on his breathing and using his energy reserves wisely. Unfortunately, it still wasn't easy. Just the sheer amount of energy needed to create just one character was to the extent that he couldn't bear, let alone more.

If he was to describe, then each character on his bones that was carved by the god before him... Was on the level of a World Tier Spell, if not stronger.

Mastering each of the characters was like mastering a World Tier Spell.

But he didn't give up. Day after day, he worked tirelessly, determined to perfect his craft. As time passed, he discovered that it wasn't just about the physical act of carving the characters, but it was also about understanding their deeper meanings and the power they held.

Slowly but surely, his skill improved. However, he still wasn't close to success yet. Fortunately, he now knew the path he had to take to succeed in the future.

Now that he had learned almost everything that he had to, he could finally leave the Beast Region.

Even though he didn't know if he could actually believe the Beast Monarchs or not, but in any case, he was grateful for them to teach him what he wanted to learn.

Even if he hadn't succeeded yet, that was because it was hard. Not because the teaching was wrong.

He couldn't help but thank the Beast Overlords. Throughout the time he stayed here, he had understood the Beast Monarchs even more. They were really lazy. Other than eating and relaxing, they did nothing else.

If anything, most of them just slept and barely woke up. He finally understood why the Clans said that they didn't need to worry about the Beast Overlords

These people actually weren't going to do unless they were really under attack. However, that also made Gabriel feel better about them. They were lazy, and didn't appear to be greedy at all.

They had been respectful to him. Even though they realized that he had received the inheritance, they didn't desire for it. They didn't even ask about it, as if it didn't matter.

They had already reached the peak of their strength that their bodies allowed them. No matter what, they couldn't get any stronger.

Overall, these Beast Monarchs appeared more human than many humans themselves. They weren't like the gods who betrayed one of their own for greater authority. If anything, they were all together if they were to fight, no matter what was offered to them.

If he had to stay at a place to learn, Gabriel was glad that he stayed here. However, now was the time for him to leave.

He had to get out of the Beast Forest and finish the task that they came to this world for. He had to take the identity of the Death Star…
