Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
chapter-948

....

The journey over the sea lasted for hours before the young Whale finally stopped in the middle of nowhere. There were no islands nearby, or anything where he could stand other than the Whale's back. He was certain that if he was left here, he would have a hard time finding a place. After the young whale stopped, it made a strange noise which was loud yet not uncomfortable to hear in the least. "Mother should be here soon. But remember, don't make my mother angry. Or even I won't be able to save you."

"I wasn't planning to make her angry either."

If possible, Karyk did not want to interact with a being like that. All he wanted was some information and to reach his destination. But the young whale did not know much. If he wanted to have some answers, he could only get them from the being that was the mother of this young whale. Only a few minutes had passed when Karyk noticed that the surface of water in the distance started rising again. "It seems she is here."

The surface kept rising but it wasn't rising from a small area. It was like an entire Island was coming to the surface. The Whale this time was even larger than the Island where he was staying previously. It was impossible to even go from one end to the other end in a short time. Even the young whale looked a hundred times smaller than the giant being. After some time, Karyk saw the eyes of the Mother Whale coming out of water, which were looking at him like they could stare in the depth of his soul. The Mother Whale looked at Karyk who was standing on the back of her child. She tried to see if there was any hint of malicious intent in his eyes, but that didn't seem to be the case. "You are not one of them."

These were the first words that came from the Mother Whale. She did not open her mouth to speak, making it look more like she was communicating with thoughts. "I don't know who you are talking about," Karyk replied. "What do you want from me? Why did you approach my child?"

"I apologize for approaching your child, but as you can see, I did not intend to do any harm. All I wanted was some help."

"Why should I help you?" the Mother Whale asked. She did not even ask what help he needed. All she wanted to know was why he believed that had any obligation to help them. Karyk knew that this was the most important question. They didn't owe them anything. Instead, they could even kill him if they wanted. So why would they help someone who wasn't beneficial to them? It was useless and futile Along the way, Karyk had been thinking about this question a lot. He knew he could not beg for help. This needed to be a trade. It needed to be a trade that she could not say no to. In this trade, he needed to exchange something that was worth their time and help. But what could he give them? He had a lot of treasures in his Spatial Storage, but he could not open that storage. He could not bring anything out in this world. He understood that if he failed this trade, he might never return. "Because in exchange, I will grant you something just as important."

"Oh? And what would that be?" The Mother Whale asked. She did not take his words seriously. She could see that Karyk was different from the people they called Children of Heaven. He was weak. He was so weak that she could kill them easily. So what could such a weak person give them? "I will give you freedom," Karyk declared. "Freedom?" The Whale asked in surprise. "And what makes you think that we don't have freedom?"

"You have freedom, but I can see that your freedom is limited, because of the Children of Heaven. I don't know what is your relationship with them or why you hate them, but I can give you freedom from them."

"If you help me, I can make sure that they will never return to this world. That would be the freedom I will grant you."

After thinking for a long time along the way, this was the conclusion Karyk came up with. He could not give them any significant treasure. But if he was able to get their help, he could give them something much more important. The Mother Whale warned her son to not approach the Children of Heaven. Why would the ruler of the ocean do that? Because she was worried about the safety of her child. In other words, she was scared of them. The only thing he could grant them was the thing that they needed the most. It was the freedom from this fear. "A weakling like you? You think you can talk big like that? Even I can kill you, and you think you are strong enough to stop them?"

"I was strong enough to stop them. And if I can recover, I can make sure that they never return to this place again. And that's why I need your help," Karyk explained. "As you already know, I am not from this world. I fell here from another dimension after battling someone strong. But in this place, I noticed that I can't use my abilities."

"Something is restricting me here. As long as I can find that thing and remove it, I can take care of the so-called Children of Heaven."

He knew that he could not make her believe him. Especially since he appeared so weak. But he still told her the truth, to at least find a way to get to his answers. Only if she knew what was restricting him could he find a way to leave this place. And even if she did not know what was restricting him, he could at least make an excuse
