Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
chapter-954

"Is this the City?"

From a distance, Karyk observed the City enveloped by walls on all sides.

There were no openings or gates in the wall, making it impossible to enter the City through conventional means.

The only method of entry was by flying over the towering walls, although this posed the risk of being easily discovered.

Consequently, Karyk could not spot any Children of Heaven outside the city either.

Another day had passed since the Mother Whale told him that she was going to accompany him. Karyk hadn't rejected her suggestion. If anything, he was happy that he could bring her with him. It was also thanks to her that he was able to find this place. But from here, real troubles began.

"That appears to be the City," Mother Whale agreed with Karyk. "But even I did not expect there to be such walls."

Even though she had never seen the City, this was exactly the place where the City was said to be. "I don't believe you can fly, can you?" Karyk asked, just to be sure. If she could fly, he would have already known about this. "I can't fly," the Mother Whale nodded. "Wait, where are you going?"

She saw Karyk go out of hiding and approach the wall.

"To check the wall. It will be useless to come here if I can't even find a way to enter," Karyk answered. He had observed for a long time. There was no patrolling in this area. It was clear that the people inside the City did not expect anyone to come here. Only the Sea Species were left alive, so it was also a valid expectation. Why would Species from Sea be walking on the land? And even if they could walk, they can't enter without flying. "You'll be killed if you are caught!" The Mother Whale called out meekly. "Believe me, I know it as well." Karyk wasn't a fool. He knew the dangers. It was even more dangerous for him because of his identity. But still, he had to find a solution for this problem. Moreover, he had also been feeling uneasy for a long time. As soon as he saw these walls, he had been feeling strange. It was like something was calling to him. With every passing moment, that feeling became stronger. Even he did not understand the origin of that feeling. But he had a strong intuition that following it was something he had to do. Trusting his instincts, Karyk came out of his hiding and approached the wall. The Mother Whale was still hesitant. She had accompanied him here, but she still did not want to die. She had to protect her son. After a long time she sighed in frustration before jumping out as well. She approached Karyk and picked him up. "You are very slow. The longer you spend walking, the riskier it is."

She carried Karyk and ran towards the wall. Normally, it would have taken at least ten minutes for Karyk to reach that place. But thanks to her, it took less than a minute. The woman placed Karyk on the ground, right next to the wall that was marked in the patterns of the Forgotten Civilization. "Even I don't know what this wall is made from. Just I'm clear that it is impossible to break this wall."

Even if she attacked the wall in her real form, it was impossible to leave even a single scratch. "A civilization that could make such a thing. It is truly strange to think that they disappeared so suddenly," she commented as she reached out her hand to touch the wall. Just as her fingers were about to touch the wall, she stopped. She felt danger. It was an innate feeling that was warning her against this action. It was as if she was being told to not touch this wall if she did not want to die.

"No one would disappear without a reason. They were probably killed," Karyk said as he carefully observed the wall. "Who could kill them? It can't be that easy. If there was a battle, the beings in the Ocean would have sensed it. But I don't think I ever heard about that," the Mother Whale responded. "Just because you don't hear about it doesn't mean it did not happen."

"There should still be signs of that battle. If that Civilization was actually killed, why are these walls still intact, without even the slightest signs of damage?'

The Mother Whale found it hard to believe that there was a battle here. A battle between that Civilization and someone who could threaten it should've left this place completely destroyed. "Not just this place, but this entire world would have been destroyed. A world could not bear this," she stated. Karyk agreed with her. He knew it already as his battle had destroyed a world just recently. Even if this world was strong, it shouldn't have lasted this long. There were truly no signs of battle in this place. But he still felt like something was wrong. The disappearance of that unnamed Civilization and the appearance of Archangels... He had a feeling that these two were clearly related. Did the Archangels destroy the Civilization? He wasn't certain. He reached out his hand and touched the wall. Unlike the Mother Whale, he did not feel any dangers. "Please... Hea...ven..."

"Did you say something?" Karyk turned around, hearing a voice. "What are you talking about?" The Mother Whale asked in return. She just noticed that Karyk was touching the wall. At first, she was shocked. But she soon realized that nothing had happened. Was her intuition wrong?

"I heard a voice. Did you say something just now?" Karyk asked again. "I did not say anything." The Mother Whale reached out her hand to touch the wall as well. Since nothing happened to Karyk, she thought her intuition was wrong. Her fingers touched the wall. However, at the same moment, she felt her heart skip a beat. She lost consciousness and her body was sent flying back.

"What-" Karyk reacted fast, but he noticed that he could not take his hands off the wall. Instead, he felt a pull. Something was pulling him closer to the wall. Before he could react, he was pulled inside the wall, disappearing within.
