Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
chapter-70

Gabriel swung the bat once again, hitting Hawrin's head. The pain made Hawrin scream. Unfortunately, the screams didn't get him any mercy. Instead, they were like the melody of the most beautiful song for Gabriel that he had wanted to listen to for a long time.

While Hawrin was already screaming in pain, Gabriel stomped on his knees, not giving him even a moment to breathe. Another smacking came, but this time, Gabriel swung the bat straight at the face of Hawrin. He wanted to give Hawrin as much pain as he could, and this was just the beginning.

Gabriel kept hitting Hawrin, making him roar more and more. First, Hawrin cursed Gabriel, then he asked for forgiveness, then he cursed again. No matter what he did, he didn't receive any mercy. His throat had already gone hoarse from all the screaming.

The beating only stopped when Hawrin lost his consciousness. The Floor and his clothes were already covered in blood. His face was swollen, and even his nose was broken. If one were to look at Hawrin, they would've had a hard time even recognizing who this person was.

After Hawrin lost consciousness, Gabriel stopped beating him and tossed the bat away. He cast a healing spell on Hawrin, noticing his breathing had become faint.

"Don't worry, Hawrin. I won't let you die that easily... Even gods can't take you from me tonight until I allow them."

While the healing took effect, Gabriel started checking around the room, trying to see what else there was. It didn't take him long before finding something that brought a smile to his face.

He noticed a fruit tray on one of the tables, filled with apples. And in one of those apples, there was a sharp knife stabbed.

Gabriel picked up the knife and pulled out the apple from it. He kept the apple back in the tray before picking up the entire tray. He walked back to the chair where he had waited before and started savoring the fruits while waiting for Hawrin to gain consciousness.

*****

Right next to Hawrin's room there was Lelin's room. However, there was no one inside the room. The room had been empty for a really long time.

It was late at night, yet Lelin wasn't in his room. Before Gabriel arrived on the floor, Lelin had already left his room. By now, he was already standing not too far from his destination.

Surprisingly, he was also looking at the place that Gabriel was interested in. Lelin stood in the distance, looking at the Academy Museum. He made sure to keep enough distance so that he wasn't noticed by the guards. In fact, somehow, he managed to about being seen coming here at all.

"So that's the place."

****

Hawrin once again regained his senses. However, he didn't dare open his eyes this time. He was sure that Gabriel was still inside the room, waiting for him to wake up so he could torture him once again.

If Gabriel found out that he was up, he was going to be in trouble. He still hadn't forgotten the terrifying pain that he felt from the previous beating. He didn't want to go through it again. The only way out was by pretending to be unconscious.

He didn't make even the slightest movement. He even kept his breathing stable.

Just as Hawrin had started thinking that he could fool Gabriel until it was morning, he heard the words that made his face go pale.

"You know Hawrin; your heart always betrays you. You know, I used to think that you didn't have a heart. But now I'm grateful that you do."

Gabriel took the last bite of the apple before he stood up, carrying an apple.

"Funny, how we come full circle. At that time, you had the knife. And now I do. Let's see... Let's see how much blood a person can afford to lose before even healing can't heal them..."

Gabriel stabbed the knife on Hawrin's right shoulder, making him yell like a dying pig.

He didn't forget to twist the knife, just like Hawrin had done, giving him the real pleasure of the pain. He pulled out the knife and stabbed the knife in Hawrin's elbows, which sent a jolt of current down his body.

Next came the turn of his knees. Gabriel stabbed right in the middle of Hawrin's kneecaps.

Throughout the process, a subtle smile remained on his face. "Who knew revenge could be so satisfying? If I knew, I would've come here faster."

"Still not too late. We have more than an hour for our party. Don't we?"

Stab!

He stabbed the other kneecap of Hawrin as well. Hawrin roared in pain so much that he even lost his voice. His face was filled with tears! At this point, he was just begging for death.

Unfortunately, giving death to him was like having mercy for him, which was the last thing Gabriel had for him.

"Let's see... What next… Ah, right. Your tongue... The same tongue you used to talk bad about me and my mother. Now that you have already lost your voice, you won't need a tongue anymore!"

As soon as Hawrin heard what Gabriel wanted to do, he hastily closed his mouth.

Unfortunately, all Gabriel had to do was one more stab. As soon as he stabbed Hawrin's thighs, Hawrin opened his mouth wide in pain.

That brief moment was enough for Gabriel to grab his tongue and rip it out of his mouth.

The scene inside the room had turned way too dark. It would've made the old Gabriel vomit, but he was so immersed in the revenge, he didn't care for anything. All he cared about was how he could hurt Hawrin more.

The pain was once again about to make Hawrin lose consciousness, but Gabriel didn't let that happen.

"Enough sleeping. Not anymore!" Gabriel placed his palm on Hawrin's forehead before chanting a spell!

The spell didn't do much except make it so that Hawrin couldn't lose consciousness.

"You need to be up through all of it, old friend."
