Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
chapter-917

"Are we leaving?" the Puppet Master asked as he followed the Celestial Empress who left the mansion. The Celestial Empress glanced back at the mansion in the direction of the Ancient Temple. She could feel a presence that was similar to what she felt when she was a child. It was the present of an Archangel. However, it wasn't as strong as before. It was clear that no Archangel had descended. Not even an Archangel Envoy had descended into this world. Instead, it was simply their consciousness that had awakened temporarily, but that itself was strong enough. She walked away from the Palace, lost in thoughts. Things had been moving in a direction that she hadn't expected. She had thought that the Archangels had lost an interest in her world, ever since their Empire was destroyed. It was because they didn't find what they were looking for. Since what they were looking for wasn't in this world, the Archangels naturally didn't pay attention to this world. She had thought that as long as she was able to defeat the Elzeirans, she could have her revenge and rebuild her Empire, while the Archangels searched in other words. But now that she felt their presence, it was clear that they hadn't abandoned this world. "I have miscalculated!" she exclaimed, her expressions darkening. "What a huge mistake! They haven't abandoned this world! If anything, they are paying even more attention to it!"

She kept walking away, talking to herself. With each passing second, her expressions worsened. One after another, she was receiving disappointing news. First, she came to find out that Karyk was strong enough to escape from the Royal City while killing the Elzeiran Emperor. And now, things have become even worse. She didn't even know how Karyk was able to kill the Elzeiran Warriors without having them abandon their Immortality!

Things had been going against her expectations one after another. And the moment she thought about Karyk, she was even more upset. She had burned all her bridges with him, killing the warriors that he had created. She had thought that she didn't need to care about them as long as she was free. She had also thought that she could control Karyk when he accepted the slave seal to save his life. But none of that happened. Soon, the Celestial Empress left the Royal City. She wasn't stopped by the Guards either. The Coronation Ceremony was officially over and everyone was allowed to leave. Most of them stayed behind as they wanted to have a meeting with the new Empress to make sure there were no new rules that affected their city. There were also a few who left the city, without waiting. They were certain that the new Empress wasn't going to be brave enough to make any drastic changes. She was much weaker than the Emperor after all. Even her elder sister was stronger than her, but she had died long ago. In this chaotic situation, many people were certain that the statue quo wasn't going to change. Hence, they didn't need to stay here for longer. The Celestial Empress stepped out of the Empire. But before she could go far, she coughed out blood suddenly. Her face went pale, as if she was hurt. The puppet master was stunned. He didn't see anyone around him. There was no presence. So who could have hurt her?

Although he couldn't see the enemy, he cast thin layers of protective magic around the Celestial Empress to shield her from further harm. He also used his threads to surround her. Even if the enemy was invisible, his threads could kill them.

"Who?!" The Celestial Empress wiped the blood off her lips. She didn't look around him as she knew that the enemy wasn't near her. "Who is killing them?!" She roared in rage. She didn't understand what was happening. But one after another, her most powerful undead beasts were being killed!

Even if they were killed, she could bring them back to life. But the problem was that they weren't just getting killed. Instead their souls were getting torn apart. It wasn't someone who simply wanted to kill them. Instead their Target was her!

She was connected to their souls as she had brought them back to life. She felt the pain that their soul felt when something ripped their souls into thousands of pieces. It didn't stop. The pain continued and only became worse. Someone was killing her entire army and at a speed that should've been impossible, even for a Shadow Guard of the Royal Family. She had left her undead army near the Border City when she came here. She didn't want to be discovered with them. But now she wasn't there and someone was killing them. Someone was tormenting her soul, weakening her even more. She felt rage and anger but she couldn't do anything. She was too far from the border city. ....

The Border City was now surrounded by a Magic Dome.

Inside the Dome, the essence of this world was completely purified. It was as if a small world was created within this large world. There was not a single person inside this city. But not far from the city, many beings could be seen. There was an area warded off from the rest of the world. Within that zone, the unknown beasts of the Celestial Empress were resting until someone barged inside. After that point, a true massacre began. The beings within the warded area were killed in the most brutal way. It was as if the person killing them wanted to make it as painful as he could.

There were thousands of beasts, some who were as strong as Royal Generals. But they couldn't offer any resistance.

The strongest beasts were dying as fast as the weakest beasts. Being Undeads, the beasts never felt fear. But this time, they truly felt fear. It was a feeling that they had never felt before. It was a fear that came from the depths of their souls.
