Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

She knew a lot about the Yael Clan. According to what she had heard, the youngest son of the Yael Clan was known as Azen. He was called a useless person by many people in the clan. However, the Master of the clan still loved his son equally.

Since Azen never left the clan because of his weakness, not many people had seen him. In fact, even within the Yael Clan, not many people knew what Azen looked like.

Gabriel remained silent, listening to Jia. He wanted to enter the Wester Clan without making much noise so he could directly kill the Wester Clan Master and turn him into an undead puppet.

The less conflict he had along the way, the easier it was to contain an unnecessary leak of information to the Southern General. He had already told his aim to Jia along the way. It was clear that Jia was trying to help him now.

However, Gabriel could also see that Yulia didn't believe them entirely. He also knew why that was. The Wester Clan heir had such a powerful guard, and there were many hiding in the darkness. How was it possible for the strongest clan to not do anything comparable?

Fortunately, he also had a way to convince the red-haired girl.

"The Wester Clan is really as arrogant as I heard. All because of some connection. But did you really think that allows you to act arrogant before me?" he arrogantly stepped forward as if he really was some young master from a big clan. "You can try killing me if you dare,"

There was no trace of fear in his eyes as he looked directly into Yulia's eyes. "However, I can guarantee that you'll end up dead before your people can then touch my hair."

As he talked to Yulia, he also sent a secret message to the Goddess of Nature. It was time to show them just what kind of guards the Yael Clan Master sent for his precious son.

"Is that so?! And how do you expect to kill us all? With a mere Demigod level guard?" Yulia scoffed. She was already furious that she had lost the race, and now there was an idiot threatening her. She has had enough.

She didn't even take their words seriously. There was no way these weaklings were from the Yael Clan.

"Kill them all," she lazily stated. "I'll see what they can do to me!"

"Argh!"

Just as Yulia finished speaking, a scream resounded in the distance. The scream was followed by more screams.

One after another, screams resounded all around them.

"These screams... They are..." The guard who was standing next to Yulia was stunned. He recognized the voices. They belonged to the other guards, who were even stronger than him.

However, before he could tell Yulia, all the guards' bodies came flying, falling to Yulia's feet.

All the bodies were dressed in the shadow guard attire of the Wester Family, and they all had one thing in common... They all had a hole in their chest as if they didn't even know when they were killed.

In the distance, bloody vines went back inside the ground after killing and tossing the guards that were hiding in secret.

"This..." Yulia was taken aback as the bodies of her guards fell on her feet.

Some of the guards were ones that even she had never seen. She didn't know there were so many guards that her father had assigned to her. However, the ones she recognized... She knew their strength!

For someone to kill her guards so easily... It only showed just how strong the killer was.

She couldn't help but think back to Gabriel's words.

"You have more guards?" She exclaimed, taken aback. Indeed, now this perfectly made sense for her!

She thought the man couldn't be from the Yael Clan since he had a weak guard. At best, he was from a middle-strength clan, pretending to be from the Yael Clan.

However, now that all her guards were killed in an instant, it meant he had more guards... Ones that were hiding nearby... And they were so strong that her guards couldn't even sense them!

She could only guess how many guards he had. However, in her mind, that number wasn't less than the number of her guards. This guy was definitely... Azen Yael, the cherished youngest son of the Yael Family!

That made Yulia feel even worse. First, she lost the race. She also lost the invitation to the banquet. At the same time, she now also offended the Yael Clan, and even then, she lost?!

There was only one guard left with Yulia. However, she was quite scared. His entire body was covered in sweat as he felt relieved that he hadn't attacked yet. Or else, he would've been a dead body as well.

"Y-young lady was just joking. The Yael Clan is a friend. Why would we hurt you? Isn't that right?" he asked Yulia, wiping his sweat.

Currently, they were at Gabriel's mercy, and at least they had to calm the situation down first. Unfortunately, they had already tried killing that guy, so it wasn't easy.

"You don't need to bother. You're too weak. You're not worth our time," Gabriel responded, shaking his head lightly. "If it weren't for your young lady to attack us, we wouldn't even bother talking to you since we are just passing by your territory."

Now that the bait was set, all he had to do was act that he wasn't here for the Wester Clan and try leaving. Since these people had already offended him, he was certain that they were going to make up for it by inviting him to their clan. That was just what he needed.

Just as he stated, he didn't pay attention to the young lady of the Wester Clan and continued leaving without even glancing back.

Even as he walked away, he kept his attention behind him, waiting for them to stop him. Unfortunately, Yulia didn't try to stop him, which was strange. It was clear that she was still angry and embarrassed.

Fortunately, just as he thought that he had to think of something else, the guard called out to them. "Wait!"
