Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage-Novel

Karyk was the person who was claimed to be the origin of all the human gods. He was supposed to be the person who destroyed the natural balance, which gave birth to more gods. He was the essence of everything.

Gabriel believed he was the heir of Karyk, sharing that same element. In fact, it was said that he was the first person to receive Karyk's element ever since Karyk disappeared. The letter was addressed to Karyk, so it made him really curious, especially since it talked about something that Karyk did.

He wondered if the letter could lead him to answers regarding the disappearance of Karyk. He had to control his hands to not open the letter. Unfortunately, the allure of the letter was just too much. The letter was calling onto him.

"Argh."

Ultimately, Gabriel realized that he might not be able to control himself for longer if he held onto the letter. If there was someone who could tell him more about the history of this letter, it was Lambard. But until then, he decided not to open it.

He sent the letter back into his Spatial Domain.

He got off the bed and went in to take a shower again to calm his head once more.

In one part of the City of Light, Gabriel was taking a shower. In another part of the city, the Head Priests of Light were just informed about the Academy of Light being attacked by possibly a Dark Mage.

"Impossible. There's no way a Dark Mage can enter this city without us knowing about it! Don't forget about the barrier! It was cast by our Holy Priest. There is no way for any Dark Mage to pass through without alerting others, not even using teleportation!"

"That's right! It can't be a Dark Mage! That's preposterous! It must be someone else..."

"The element has been confirmed by Lady Elora herself." Xinci insisted. "I'm not making this up. She confirmed that it was a Dark Mage."

"What does she know? She's a naive kid. Just because she became Holy Priest, she thinks she can call faults to our protection barrier? That girl must be mistaken."

"We will come check ourselves! We will see with our own eyes!"

All the Head Priests decided to check themselves. Unfortunately, since some of them needed to stay behind, it was decided that only five of them were going to go and confirm if there was a possibility of the story being true.

However, the five that were selected to go were the strongest Head Priests in the Church at the moment. The group of five also included the Head Priest, who had met with Gabriel before.

"Why don't you tell the Holy Priest of Light? I'm sure it concerns him as well," Xinci suggested. She had come here to call the Head of the Church of Light since that's what Elora wanted. She wanted all the Holy Priests to come together to talk about it since it concerned everyone.

The Old man's face twitched in anger. "Nonsense! We haven't even confirmed if what you're telling us is true, and you're asking us to disturb his rest? We will check ourselves and then decide if it's worth informing him or if it's a false alarm."

There was no way the man could inform the Head of Church yet since there was no Head of Church of Light at the moment. The Holy Grimoire was ownerless.

The Head Priests rejected Xinci's suggestions, making Xinci feel that these people were really arrogant. They were even doubting her and Elora? She didn't know that it wasn't their arrogance but their helplessness. They couldn't call the man who didn't exist.

Moreover, they actually had faith in their barrier, which had never failed even once. They didn't believe that it was possible that a Dark Mage passed through the barrier that easily, even if it was the Owner of the Grimoire of Darkness.

The Holy Priest of Light had used the Holy Grimoire of Light to cast the spell. It was impossible to break it, let alone pass through it undetected, without breaking it.

They left the Church and flew to the Academy of Elements.

Many people who were near the Academy heard the loud explosion. They also saw the entrance and the exit of the Royal City being sealed not long after. No one was allowed to enter or leave. This made them realize that something big had happened at the academy.

The one who was more perceptive also saw the Head Priests of Light flying toward the Academy.

Most of the people were sleeping at this hour, but the ones who were awake were really worried as to what was happening in the city. What was that explosion? Why was the city being sealed? And the Head Priests of Light were also involved, that too at this hour?

The Head Priests were also escorted inside the Church of Light by Xinci. By the time, Qin was also back after having the entire city sealed. He had placed hundreds of Mages at the entrance and the exit of the city.

The Head Priests were brought to the site of the explosion.

"Where is Elora?" The old man asked, finding no members of the Church of Water here.

Seeing him address Elora directly by her name, just because she was younger than him, Xinci felt that it was quite disrespectful, especially since the position Elora had. She was technically equal in position to the Holy Priest of Light.

"She must be nearby. I'll inform her that envoys from the Church of Light are here." Xinci left, rolling her eyes. She really wanted to beat these idiots up, but she controlled her urges.

As Xinci left, the Head Priests of Light started observing the sight of the battle. They climbed on top of the rubble.

The old man grimaced. The closer he went to the spot where the Infernal King was standing before, the more he was able to sense it.

Since they were Mages of Light, they were more sensitive to the energy of darkness than the Mages of Water.

"I can feel the aura of darkness, but it's nothing live I've ever sensed before... It has that same old hint of darkness, but it's something more as well... Something much darker... Something much more rotten...."
