Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

"If it's the key, then it's a key for what? And what were the scenes that flashed before me? The girl? Lightning beasts? A Tsunami? That door...?"

Gabriel stared at the black orb, trying to decipher what it could be about, but right then, the Ring on his finger made some movement.

It turned into the speck of darkness that floated before him. The book returned to the real form of the Book. The pages started flipping on their own.

The book did manage to attract Gabriel's attention, who raised his head.

He saw the pages flipping, stopping on the sixth page, which used to be empty until now. Some words started appearing on the sixth page.

"A new spell? Is it because I became a mid-tier mage? My soul is definitely stronger now, so that could be why. Or it could be because the book wants to reward me?"

It didn't matter how or why he was getting the spell. What mattered was that he was getting a new spell. He eagerly waited to see which spell it was.

The spell seemed to be bigger than his old spells. It had more words and seemed slightly complicated as well. The spell somehow from the entire page, and it didn't stop there! The page turned, and the spell continued, only stopping after covering half of the seventh page as well.

The eighth page also flipped as one more spell appeared... His sixth spell. Moreover, both the spells that appeared were offensive spells, which made them harder to master as well. Gabriel had four spells before this, but none of them were proper offensive spells if one was to ignore the battle ability of his summoned undead.

The two new spells that appeared were proper spells that were made to fight! They were made for battles and to take lives!

The eighth spell also finished appearing. The Forbidden Book of Necromancy didn't turn to the next page. Instead, it turned straight to the page in the middle of the book.

"One more spell?" Gabriel was taken aback to see the Grimoire skip all the other pages and turn straight to the middle page. "Why that page?"

As he waited for the new spell to reveal itself, nothing as such happened. Instead, the page started shining. Gabriel felt some powerful attraction from the page as if the gravity was trying to pull toward itself, but the gravity wasn't acting on him. Instead, it was acting on his hand, which was holding onto the Sphere.

"You want this?" Gabriel opened his fist, releasing the black orb. He didn't know what the orb was, but if his Grimoire wanted it, he trusted it.

Just as he expected, the black orb flew to the page. Somehow, it entered the page of the Forbidden Book, disappearing as if the page was some doorway.

Finally, after the book seemingly swallowed it, there appeared a word on the page.

[Space]

Following the word, more things started appearing under the name, which showed Gabriel what this word implied, what the benefits of this were, or how he could use it.

"Space for storing items? So it's a storage spell, like Lira's dark realm? That would make sense. I did want a spell like Lira's spell."

He was already worried about how he was going to carry all these Numens out. He had planned to use Undead Swap to leave the Town as well, with all these items later on, but if he had a spell like Lira, then there was no problem with it.

Moreover, there was another thing that Gabriel quite liked. Unlike with other Spells, he didn't need to learn it. The information about this spell came to his head directly. A connection was established, through which he could also sense all the items inside his space.

The space was vast, much bigger than he expected, but it wasn't infinite.

Unfortunately, the orb wasn't inside the space, which raised the question as to where that orb actually went.

"Wait! The guards! They are still outside! What am I doing wasting time? I can do all this later as well! First, I need to take the Numens out of here!"

He had many questions and some excitement about his new spells, but also some worries. He had already wasted a lot of time here. The longer he stayed here, the worse it became for him.

He went to the Ancestral Staff of Darkness first since that was his primary goal. All the defense spells were already destroyed in this place by Lenin, so he didn't need to worry about it much.

Without the magical reinforcements, the glass that was protecting the Numens was no more than ordinary glasses for him.

He clenched his fist before casting a strengthening spell of Light on himself. That's where his other element really came to use. His physical strength was boosted immediately.

He punched the glass that was protecting the Staff of Darkness.

As he expected, the glass wasn't able to provide much resistance as it shattered with a loud noise.

"I wonder if the Grimoire of Necromancy can keep the Ancestral Staff of Darkness?"

He had already seen what happened when a Mage of Light touched the Holy Grimoire of another element when he tried touching his Grimoire with his left hand. Similarly, the Ancestral Staff was also an item of similar importance which could create trouble with other elements.

He decided to test the theory and raised his left hand. "Space."

Contrary to his own expectations, his spell appeared to work. The Ancestral Staff of Darkness disappeared after resisting a bit, entering the Forbidden Book of Necromancy, as if even the Staff wasn't enough to resist the Forbidden Book.

Outside the Museum, Eliana arrived with the group.

Seeing Eliana with the other Head Council members, all the guards were taken aback.

"Y-you are here?! Didn't you enter around half an hour ago?" One of the guards asked.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you drunk? It's my first time coming here." Eliana rolled her eyes, but as she noticed the others also looking at her like she was a ghost, it didn't appear as if it was just this guard who had this question.
