Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Gabriel went through the forest in the blink of an eye, appearing near the other end, right before the four sky pillars.

Usually, it was impossible to get there unless the restrictions were weaker, but for Gabriel, it was child's play since he was the one who placed these restrictions in the first place.

He placed his hand on the stone tablet, using some of his purest magical energy.

A portal appeared in the stone tablet, as if opening the pathway to an unseen place. Unlike last time when the portal sent someone randomly inside the tomb, the portal directly connected to the core of the Tomb.

Gabriel passed through the portal, coming out from the other side, right inside the core room. He could see multiple black shackles, coming out from all corners of the room, connected in the middle where these shackles entrapped a person.

Feeling a sudden presence in the room, the Goddess of Nature slowly raised her head, glancing at the young man ahead with lifeless eyes. However, as soon as she saw who it was, the flames in her heart were ignited as her entire body was covered in murderous intent.

"So you're back again... Are you here to mock me?!" she asked, struggling once again. Unfortunately, she still couldn't break through the shackles.

Gabriel didn't respond. He just looked at the woman before him. Over a thousand years had passed yet it was as if just yesterday, they were lying over grass plains, talking like old friends.

After living his life as Gabriel, he came to know a lot of things that he hadn't understood in the past. Through Gabriel's perspective, he came to know that what he did in the past to the Goddess of Nature wasn't entirely right.

When he thought from a different perspective, if she was in his place and his sister had attacked her for no reason, would he have allowed her to kill his sister? No. What would he have done if she had killed his sister? The answer was clear.

Even if his sister was at fault, he would've killed the Goddess of Nature for hurting his sister. What she did in the past was no different. Her brother was wrong, but killing him like that was not entirely right, especially considering that he was the brother of someone who was akin to a friend.

He didn't know if the Goddess of Nature would've worked with the other gods if he hadn't fought with her, but the chances were really low.

"I am sorry..." After a long pause, Gabriel finally spoke. "I should've realized what the existence of a sibling signifies for people like us..."

Even though Gabriel had apologized in the past, but Karyk never apologized to anyone! No matter what he did, he never said such words that were unfamiliar to him. However, this time, these words came straight from his depths.

Now that his sister was back, and his life was calmer, he had plenty of time to think about it. During the week he spent with his sister, he managed to understand what the Goddess of Nature went through even more.

The Goddess of Nature frowned, confused. She couldn't understand if she was hallucinating. Karyk was apologizing to her?

"You think an apology will stop me?! The day I'm free, I'll kill you with my own hands! I'll pay you back for everything that you did!"

"You are free to do what you want... If you want to kill me, I welcome you to try. However, the outcome will remain the same."

Gabriel didn't show any strange reaction to her words. This was a thousand year long hatred and it wasn't going to end with just an apology. However, it was still a start.

He waved his hands lightly, breaking the imprisoning spell.

The shackles that were keeping the fiercely struggling Goddess of Nature disappeared into thin air, turning into specks of light.

The Goddess of Nature was finally free! Initially, she couldn't believe it. However, it didn't matter. Her mind was already filled with anger! She couldn't control her body that rushed toward Gabriel to kill him!

Boom~

An explosion resounded inside the tomb. A deep crater appeared in the middle of the hall. However, inside the crater wasn't Gabriel. Instead, the Goddess of Nature was lying on the ground, with her neck in Gabriel's hands.

"As I said, you're free to try. However, the outcome will be the same," Gabriel responded. In his Domain, even true gods couldn't do anything to him, let alone someone like the Goddess of Nature. However, he still hoped that her anger was going to calm down given the time.

"You were trapped here for a thousand times, and it's because of me. I understand. However, I won't allow you to kill me." He released the Goddess of Nature, taking a few steps back, landing outside the crater.

The Goddess of Nature coughed out a mouthful of blood, as she stood up, gazing at Gabriel. She was surprised at his current strength. Even though he was strong in the past, his strength mainly lied in his spells. However, at the moment, it was as if his physical strength had increased tremendously.

"Looks like you had a good life..." She stated. She still had the killing intent in her eyes, but she felt a little hesitant in attacking this guy. She had failed every time she tried. They were just in two different leagues.

"A good life?" Gabriel couldn't help but look at her strangely. Since she was trapped here, it was clear that she didn't know many things, especially about the betrayal and maybe even how he died in the past.

"If that's a good life, then I think I'll be giving a great life to them in return for what they did..." he let out, shaking his head lightly.

He changed the topic. Even though he really felt bad about what he did to the Goddess of Nature, but that wasn't his only reason for coming here. He had a second reason.

He wanted to go to the Upper Realm. Jia was his guide, but he knew that he needed the help of the Goddess of Nature as well. Unfortunately, convincing her was easier said than done. Still, he had some ideas for it.

Fortunately, he had something at hand.

He brought out a small red stone, tossing it to the Goddess of Nature.

The Goddess of Nature caught the soul stone, frowning. "What is it?!"

"Your brother's soul..." Gabriel calmly responded, still maintaining his calm face. "I'll bring him back to life for you."
