Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

994 Chapter 994: Origin

The children of heaven watched in shock as one of their own died before their eyes, simply by being touched by those flames.

They all retreated cautiously, creating distance from the shadowy figure.

"Who are you?!" one of them shouted.

They hesitated to attack, becoming extremely cautious. They didn't even know that person's identity. Was he sent by the Angels?

If that was the case, why was he attacking them? Had something happened outside during their absence that they were unaware of? That appeared unlikely.

The shadowy figure remained silent. Even if it could speak, it saw no point in conversing with them.

"Are you a friend of those insects? Or a creation of the civilization left behind?" another child of heaven asked.

There were only two kinds of people who could be here. One was people with permission from the Angels and the second were those who were already in this world.

"Since you are showing up only now, it must mean you are here because we captured them."

The young man picked up one of the prisoners.

"Are you here to save these insects?" He started laughing, convinced that he had guessed correctly.

"Step away, or I will kill one person for every second you stay in this hall!" he commanded, testing if the shadowy figure cared about these people.

The dark being remained unfazed. It raised a hand, and the abyssal flames leapt forth

once more.

The Child of Heaven, the one who had spoken, was engulfed in an instant. The prisoner he had taken hostage wasn't spared either.

His screams were cut short as his body was consumed by the flames.

The others watched, their expressions darkening.

"He is here to kill us all!" one of the Children of Heaven said through clenched teeth. "Avoid his flames, and we should be able to kill this bastard!"

The hall erupted into chaos. Fireballs, lightning bolts, and razor-sharp gusts of wind shot towards the dark figure, trying to destroy it.

But the figure destroyed all the attacks with its flames, which devoured the energy within those assaults. It struck back, and abyssal flames spread through the hall as if they were alive.

The Children of Heaven were even more taken aback. Why was this fire so strange? It

was able to devour their attacks like they were nothing.

They thought only the Angels were able to do this. How was this person doing this? Although they didn't know who this person was, they were certain that it was not an angel.

Angels were pure beings that were born from divinity. But this thing... It looked less divine and more demonic. It wasn't just the darkness that made it different from the Angels but also its form.

Even the Children of Heaven knew that the Angels didn't look like humans. They just took human form to make things easier for them as seeing their divine form could make anyone go crazy.

That's why the Angels kept their divine form hidden in a different reality and took a human form with wings. But this thing... It was nothing like that.

The Mother Whale watched the dark flame flying everywhere in the room, targeting the Children of Heaven only.

Every time the flames flew past her, she was frozen in fear and felt suppressed. She looked at her son who was not far from her, concern evident in her eyes.

She knew that even if the dark flame wasn't targeting the prisoners, it was only a matter of time before they were going to die with everyone else. She had to get out of here.

She observed the flames carefully and when she saw a flicker of those flames coming towards her, she turned around and moved her hands just enough to have the flicker of abyssal flame touch those shackles.

Even the divine shackles that restricted their abilities didn't last much against the speck of dark flames. The shackles were devoured by the dark flames, freeing her from their constraints.

With her hands free, she freed her legs as well before standing up. She rushed to her child and picked him up.

The other prisoners also asked her to free them, but she did not spare a single glance at them. She just wanted to get out of this place with her son. Nothing else mattered

to her.

Unfortunately, the exit was being blocked by the dark figure and all the walls were surrounded by the dark flame, sealing the Children of Heaven in this hall.

The place that was supposed to be their prison had turned into the prison of the children of heaven who weren't doing great either.

The Children of Heaven kept dying one after another, their resistance proving useless against this thing.

Some of them sent a signal to their families, hoping for help. But even they knew that it was impossible to last until their families came here or this information reached

the Angels.

****

Karyk wore the King's Ring. He had already taken the Prince's gift from the ring, but there were still a few more things in the ring that he didn't want to leave behind.

He moved closer to the spot where the altar used to be. Instead of an altar, something like a well was in its place, protected by a seal.

All the blood from the well was missing, but still the seal was left behind. Karyk placed his hand on the seal and tried to break it.

He used the essence of the abyss, overwhelming the seal. With an overwhelming strength, he destroyed the seal on the empty well.

After breaking the seal, he jumped inside the well to see if there was anything left behind by the Angels.

This was the place where he was born. Even if he couldn't find that blood, there were still a lot of answers he needed at this place.

He didn't know whose blood was in the puddle and how it was even linked to the

abyss in the first place. It couldn't be the blood of the abyss in the first place as the abyss wasn't a physical entity at that time.
