Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

The only reason the Stein Family had fallen to the fourth place was all because they had lost the method of creating the Immortal Golems a long time ago. They couldn't create more. Thus, their strength was limited.

Despite that, they were still in a very safe position, albeit occasionally having conflicts with other clans. They had hoped to strengthen the position of their family in this meeting, but they were only disappointed.

The Master of the Stein Family couldn't come here personally, so he had sent his little brother, accompanying his daughter Ulesis who was the heir of the Stein Family.

Unfortunately, Ulesis had failed in becoming the Disciple of a General, losing this important opportunity.

Her uncle didn't blame her for losing. However, she could see the disappointment on his face, that was impossible to hide.

In order to make up for her failure, Ulesis decided to focus her efforts on another aspect that could potentially benefit her family.

She had to find a way to make the Immortal Golems once again. That was the only way for her to improve her family's position. Unfortunately, that was a far fetched dream and she also knew that

Now that the banquet was over, every family started leaving. Hundreds of ancient battle ships could be seen in the sky, all going in a different direction. One of those ships belonged to the Stein Family which started flying towards the Spatial Crack that led to the Northern World.

The sky was dark. It was impossible to see any stars, a clear indication of the approaching storm. The winds had started getting colder, but Ulesis didn't seem to care.

She stood in the front of the battleship, feeling the cold wind brush against her soft skin, making her feel a lot cold, yet refreshed at the same time. However, her thoughts were still distracted.

She also occasionally glanced down at the Southern World, which was known as the barren land with far and few resources. Even though she had troubles of her own, at least she felt glad that her family wasn't established in this region.

"I wonder who that guy was.... For a mortal to finish that Stairway test that even the best of the Upper Realm couldn't finish..." She muttered, as if talking to herself. "I wonder if I'll meet him again in the future."

As she looked into the distant sky, she didn't realize that in the distance, there was another man, standing with his back resting against the railing of the ship, glancing at the young woman in the distance.

Gabriel wondered how long it was going for them to reach the Northern World. Usually, it was very hard for someone to go from one World to another, since only major families could do that, using the ancient battleships that were carved with many protective formations to protect themselves against the spatial storms during travels.

Because of this banquet, it became much easier to find the others who were going to the same place as him. The only problem was that he didn't know anything about the Stein Family. Jia also wasn't here to help him with her vast knowledge.

"He went on his own journey. I can also do the same. Let's see who reaches the goal faster..." Gabriel calmly said, looking at the sky. His fighting spirit was ignited and he gained even more motivation.

Even though both of them had the same goals, they both were using different methods to reach their goals, as there was a race between them.

Karyk had the head start. However, Gabriel didn't feel as if he was much behind. Even though Karyk was with the Four Generals, it still wasn't easy for him to get to the Central World since he had to first find the secret method to get to the Central World from the Four Generals.

One mistake and his answers were going to go down in flames, since the Generals were stubborn beings, who would've rather accepted death than answer Karyk who they hated the most.

Initially, he was hoping to force the four of them, even though it was hard. If it didn't work, he was hoping to use them as hostages to force the King of the Upper Realm to come out of the secret Realm, even though it was a dangerous method.

However, with these new changes, Karyk changed his methods into something that made things easier for him for the future. Although it was a potentially easier method, it was also much slower and depended heavily on Karyk's luck and his skills.

Gabriel clenched his fist. "For them to select a so-called mortal as their Disciples, based on a Willpower Test... Just what are the Four Generals planning?'

He was really curious about the goals of the four Generals, but he left that for Karyk to find out. Instead, he focused on his own goals.

Even though he had the Element of Light, it was different from the Element of Light that the Goddess of Light possessed, thanks to his true god's body.

Previously, only the Goddess of Light had the authority over light and she could grant or take away others' access. However, now things were different.

Usually, it was impossible for two people to exist with authority over one element. However, that was the care with Gabriel. Because of his new body, he also received authority over his Light. That was why the Goddess of Light couldn't locate him anymore, despite him using the Element of Light frequently.

Unfortunately, it was also a headache for him. Since there were two people with authority over light, that meant both of them were incomplete. Progressing from this point on was harder for both of them, unless one person with authority was killed.

Moreover, as long as one of them was killed, the other was going to grow their control over the Element, maybe even reaching a much higher level than the others. That was also one of the main reasons Gabriel was going to the Northern World... To kill his competition!
