Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

As Gabriel clashed swords with the Leader of the Shadow Guards, the combined power was enough to send both of them flying back. The Leader of Shadow Guards was truly in a different league, especially after he started using his life essence to use this unknown power. His movements were faster and more precise. And his strength was beyond the limits of this world. The clash of their swords echoed through the empty city, a battle that seemed to defy the laws of nature.

Even the barrier that Karyk had created around the city started cracking with this immense power. As soon as Gabriel managed to regain his balance, two portals opened next to him. One of the portals was on the left, from which a pitch black spear cout. The other portal was right in front of him, from where a dazzling light emerged. Both the attacks targeted Gabriel, leaving him no room to escape. A blinding light covered the area as the attacks hit their target. "You aren't allowed to kill him!" The Elzeiran Empress roared. They had to capture the man alive! That was the only reason they had chere. If the person was killed, they could never afford to answer the beings above!

"If only that attack was enough to kill him," the Leader of the Shadow Guards wiped blood off the corner of his lips, looking at the crater in the distance. It was the place where Gabriel was standing before. In the depths of the crater, Gabriel was still standing, perfectly fine. His one hand was holding onto the dark spear that targeted him. The spear cracked and turned into glowing fragments that dissolved into the air. "He is fine even after that?" The Elzeiran Empress was initially worried that this attack might kill Gabriel. But what shocked her even more was that he didn't even have a single scratch. "To capture him is harder than it looks. The battle itself would destroy this realm," The Leader of the Shadow Guards reminded the Elzeiran Empress. This world had bectheir home. All their people lived here. Their entire strength was consolidated here. He knew that he could do much more, but it was also clear that Gabriel hadn't given it his all either. If both of them were to fight to death, this entire world might not be able to bear the burden. The choice belonged to the Empress. Was she going to sacrifice this world to capture this man? Or was she going to let him go for now?

With clenched teeth, the Empress spoke, "If this world is the cost, I am willing to pay!"

She knew that the sacrifices could be limited if she just waited for the person sent by the Archangels. But if that happened, they were going to lose everything. So what if she had to sacrifice this world? So what if she had to sacrifice all her people? So what if she had to sacrifice this world?

As long as she could capture the Forgotten Prince and win the favor of Archangels again, this world was nothing.

The Archangels were beings that could create anything. They could turn impossible into possible. They were the true divinity in the universe. They were her only hope of bringing her brother back to life. And for that, she was willing to do anything! Even if she had to sacrifice her own life, she was willing. The Leader of the Shadow Guards looked at her, his expressions solemn. He soon nodded his head. "If that is your desire, then let the end begin!"

....

The people of Elzeira were just getting to learn that the Emperor had died. Many powerful people were trying to take advantage of the situation. Swere even celebrating that the Emperor was gone. But the celebration didn't last long. They felt uneasy for sreason. It was as if they could sense a disaster. The ground had started trembling, and it wasn't just happening in one city. It was happening all over Elzeira, even in the Royal City. The deep sea was also rippling with unusual activity. High waves started rising, as if trying to swallow everything in its path. Even the Pirates that were in the sea watched the scenes before them in disbelief as their ships were swallowed by the sea. Those who could fly, managed to survive temporarily by abandoning the ship. And those who couldn't, drowned or becfood of the sea creatures. The undead Sea King stood atop his Palace which was in the center of the Pirate Island. Even from here, he could see the high tide in the distance that was thousands of feet tall. The tide was coming straight for the Pirate Island which was in its path. One after another, all the islands were swallowed by the sea, all living beings on the island were killed. The Sea King flew high in the air along with the other undead subordinates of Karyk as he watched the Pirate Island submerged in water. "It looks like I won't live to see the day I regain my freedom," he laughed in frustration, looking at the sky that had started cracking apart. Not just the sea, the sky and space were also becoming unstable. Lightning bolts were falling from the sky in a dazzling display of power, illuminating the chaos below. Karyk was explaining things to Aliac when he noticed water spilling out from the portal that connected to Elzeira. It was as if the portal on the other side was already drowned in the depths of the sea. From the portal, an unknown sea creature also chere, only to be killed by Karyk. "Looks like the situation there has somewhat changed. We can't wait," he told Aliac as he entered the portal that was filled with water. "In that case, letaccompany you. Either, we will die, or we will win." Aliac took a deep breath as he also entered the portal. And lastly, the person to enter was Ryder.
