Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
chapter-606

"I am giving you this opportunity. Let us put the past behind. You promise me that you won't kill people in the Upper Realm unnecessarily and forget your grudge," the Lord of Upper Realm stated.

He further added, "At the same time, you work with me to help me with something. In exchange, I'll grant you strength beyond what you can imagine...."

"I already know what you're here for, and I promise I'll give you that opportunity. So do you agree?" The question of the Lord of the Upper Realm made Karyk frown.

This was actually a good offer. If he accepted, he didn't have to worry about the King of the Upper Realm. However, for some reason, he still couldn't forget his anger. If possible, he wanted to kill the person before him.

"I know what you're thinking." As if reading his mind, Aliac smiled. "However, if you try that, it won't be easy for you. If this was your Domain, things might have been different but this place is my Domain."

"If you attack me, you won't be able to harm me. However, because of your Element, I might not be able to kill you either. If we actually fight, it will only benefit one person. And I have a feeling that you hate that one person more than me."

His face was calm, as if he really didn't worry about his life. Even if he actually was going to die, he wouldn't have cared.

"If you knew what she was planning, why didn't you kill her?" Karyk asked.

The King of Upper Realm let the Goddess of Light live, even though he knew that she was scheming against him. Why?

Karyk also had another question of his own. He already knew that the so-called disciple of the Generals was being selected on the instructions of Aliac. He was curious as to why he wanted a person who supposedly didn't have any powers. Moreover, what were those pills?

Even if it was just to get answers to his question, he remained calm and didn't take any action.

"You are asking why I didn't take any action against her?" Aliac asked. He waved his hand, making a mirror appear before him, which revealed what was happening at the entrance of his palace.

The Four Generals and the Goddess of Light were standing there confused, after Aliac and Karyk had disappeared.

"What do you think will happen if I kill her?" he asked.

"What will happen?" Karyk asked in return. What was so special about her that even Aliac was hesitating in killing her when he didn't hesitate in trying to kill him.

However, as Karyk thought about it, a fleeting thought crossed his mind.

"You kept her alive for a purpose?" he asked. "The reason you allowed her entry into the Upper Realm wasn't to thank her for killing me but for your own reasons?"

The man on the throne smiled again. His fingers brushed against his long silver hair that came in front of his eyes. He moved his hair behind as he continued, "That is correct."

His eyes rested on the mirror which showed a beautiful woman who was surrounded by a radiant light.

"She has something that I need... Or rather, something that we need if you work with me."

The man let out a tired sigh, as he lowered his head. Even though he was in the hall, his eyes appeared to be looking into a space beyond that no one else could see.

"I spent thousands of years inside the Central Realm, not because I liked it here. It also wasn't because I was trapped here. However, I can't stop it anymore..."

"Stop... It?" Karyk repeated the word, paying attention to even the most minute of detail.

As he stepped in the Central World, he had also sensed a strange sensation. It was a feeling that was pleasing yet at the same time, making him feel disgusted.

Aliac shook his head lightly. "You don't have to worry about that for the time being. I only want to know if you will work with me, forgetting our grudge? Because if you don't, we both will lose everything... It's the first time I'm requesting someone."

"You're asking me to help you after your Generals haunted me all over the place to kill me?" Karyk scoffed.

Aliac shook his head. "That's because even they don't know about this secret. They aren't qualified. I don't inform them about it. As for them chasing after you, why do you think they didn't find you ever?"

"No matter how well you hide your aura, the Upper Realm is my Domain... Especially in the last thousand years, since my strength increased. If I wanted, there's not a single place in the Upper Realm where you could hide!"

"You're saying you knew everything about me from the moment I stepped in the Upper Realm?" Karyk calmly asked.

He was wondering why the King of Upper Realm didn't find him, with the trace of his aura. However, he thought that it was because that guy was trapped in the Central World and didn't leave. But, it made sense. He already found him long ago but he just didn't take action.

"I know more than you think I do... And that's why, I am extending this offer to you... And not just you, I'm offering this offer to your other half as well..."

Hearing the response of the man, Karyk frowned. This guy even knew about Gabriel.

"Though I must say, your friend is in quite a lot of trouble..." Before Karyk could speak, the King of Upper Realm spoke. "A great evil has started walking up... The War of Gods is starting to affect the Upper Realm as well... And your little friend is dragged inside it, without even realizing."

"The War of Gods? The one started by Chaos in the past? Wasn't the war over?" Karyk inquired. At least that's what he heard through Gabriel.

"Did those Beasts tell that? Hah, the War is over for the winning side. However, for the losing side, it's not over until they are all dead. This is just the beginning... And even I can't stop everything that's to come... I'm busy with my own troubles... And that's why, this is the last offer."

He clapped his hand, opening a spatial portal next to him. "You can either leave right now, and let nature take its course and lose everything in the process, or you can take a step towards a destiny that might lead you to your personal hell…"
