Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

The entire sky had been cleansed in the attack. Vibrant hues of orange and pink painted the horizon, as if the dawn of a new day.

Not even a single glimpse of the woman could be seen anymore, as if she had completely disappeared. However, where she was previously standing, a small sphere of light was visible, surrounded by a gentle halo of energy. It pulsed with a calming aura, casting a serene glow on its surroundings.

As soon as the terrifying energy of the attack disappeared, the halo around the sphere started getting bigger.

Gabriel looked at the small sphere, exhaustion clear on his face. Having a bad feeling about this energy sphere, Gabriel attacked with the Sword of Life.

His Sword passed through the illusory halo, unable to even touch it. It was as if some mysterious power was keeping the sphere protected. The sphere was no different than an illusion when his Sword attacked.

The sword should've been able to cut any form of energy, yet it couldn't touch the sphere.

The halo around the sphere took a humanoid form. As soon as the halo finished taking shape, the light around it disappeared, revealing a woman inside. The woman looked completely unharmed. Or rather, she looked as if she had been reborn from destruction.

The calm smile around her lips still remained the same as before. "Do you want to burn your soul to give it another try? You might get lucky this time."

Although her words came in the form of a suggestion, but her mocking tone wasn't hidden. Even if her body was destroyed by the Sword of Life, but she couldn't be killed. They weren't called immortal for no reason.

As far as she remembered, but a single Immortal had been killed throughout history.

Gabriel looked at the woman, still in disbelief. He had read the letter of Ezekiel, but even he hadn't thought that even the Sword of Life couldn't kill these people.

The woman laughed at Gabriel's silence. Her figure disappeared. Gabriel prepared for her attack. Even if he failed to kill her, but the battle wasn't over. However, to his surprise, the woman didn't attack him.

Instead, she appeared far away where Gabriel had kept Ezekiel's body, floating amidst the protection of his aura.

The woman easily shattered the protective aura cast by Gabriel as she grabbed Ezekiel. A portal appeared behind her.

"Such a pity that I have to leave, but I need to take this guy back. Though don't worry. I'll definitely come back for you. Can't lose you after all."

"You're not going anywhere!" Gabriel couldn't let her escape and rushed to her. Unfortunately, he was too late.

Her figure disappeared inside the Portal with Ezekiel's body. The Portal closed after the woman, leaving no trace behind.

"Arghhh!" Gabriel let out a frustrated roar as he passed through an empty space. The Portal was gone completely.

Gabriel stood there, his chest heaving with anger and frustration. The woman had slipped through his grasp, taking Ezekiel with her.

Gabriel clenched his fists, his mind racing with thoughts. He needed to find a way to track them. He was sure that Ezekiel wasn't completely dead yet. When he took him, he had felt a small trace of Life.

It wasn't a life force belonging to him. Instead, it was something transferred by the woman when she had stabbed him. It was as if she needed him unable to fight while also needing him alive. Gabriel didn't understand her intentions, but no matter what, he couldn't let her do as she wanted.

As he pondered his next move, a faint whisper seemed to echo in his mind. "How troublesome. The Elzerians have also started coming out. What a headache." .

"Who?!" Gabriel looked back, finding the source of the voice. In the distant building, he saw a young man standing. The man looked like he was in his late twenties.

"You are..." He couldn't recognise the man, especially since there appeared to be a hazy mist around the man which hid the real features of the man's face, but Gabriel felt like he had sensed this man's aura in the Realm of Gods.

Moreover, it was only just now that he noticed another strange thing. When he was fighting with the woman, all the buildings within a hundred kilometers range were destroyed, all but the one that this man was standing on.

He didn't know why he didn't notice it before. Was he too immersed in the battle to notice it? He was unclear why it was, but he felt that it wasn't the case. It was more as if he just couldn't sense the place where the man was standing before. It wasn't just him, but the woman as well.

"I'm the man whose home you all trespassed on," Ryder spoke, letting out a sigh as he looked at the destruction in the surroundings.

Janus also appeared next to Ryder, standing side by side.

As Gabriel saw Janus standing next to Ryder, he was convinced that the two were together. In essence, Ryder was one of the enemies that Ezekiel had attacked.

It was a war that was to end with the death of Ezekiel and all his enemies. Unfortunately, the outcome was something that even Ezekiel couldn't have expected.

Ryder jumped down the building, softly landing on the rubble belonging to a nearby building. As he walked forward, the rubble started flying in the air.

It was as if time was flowing in reverse as all the rubble went to their original place and the buildings that were destroyed, once again started taking shape.

It wasn't just the case in this area but all around the world. A strange domain had surrounded the earth, taking all the areas under its control.

"So much work. To think that I didn't expect Ezekiel to break the promise with me and attack. How foolish of me," Ryder spoke, his expressions downcast.

Not only did he not expect this, but he wasn't here when this took place either. Instead, he was in another world, looking for more items to heal Caen faster. By the time he returned, everything was almost over and Gabriel was fighting the woman.

It was partially because of him that earth survived Gabriel's attack.

"Shouldn't you be paying for your friend?" he asked, looking up at Gabriel, his tone sharp as Sword.
