Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage-Novel

Gabriel was slightly taken aback to see a young man before him who he had seen before as well. It hadn't been too long since the last time he saw that person as the man was there at the academy with him.

It was a young man who had beautiful blonde hair that was covering his forehead. His hair wasn't too long, but it did match the color of his eyes.

The man was Lelin, who also robbed the Academy of Elements like him. That was what was most strange about this. How was Lelin here if this was Karyk's memories? And if it wasn't Karyk's memories, then just what was this?

"I had a feeling I'll find you here," Lelin stated, observing Gabriel.

"What are you doing here?" Gabriel asked, but Lelin didn't answer. He didn't even react as if he couldn't hear Gabriel's question, which gave Gabriel the feeling that it was quite similar to his initial dreams, where he couldn't interact with anyone. He could just watch.

Lelin didn't look like he was here to attack him. There was no intent like that on his face. Instead, he walked to the window and glanced at the beautiful sea through the open windows.

"Then again, I can't blame you for coming here. This place certainly has a beautiful view."

Gabriel kept his eyes on Lelin, trying to get a grasp on the situation.

'There is no way Lelin had been alive in Karyk's time. If he is here, then it's definitely not Karyk's memories that I'm seeing. I was going about it all wrong. It's something more than the memories. But what?'

"Won't you ask why I was looking for you?" Lelin asked Gabriel without looking back.

"Why were you looking for me?" Gabriel asked in response, but once again, his voice fell on deaf ears.

"Then again, there's no way you wouldn't know about it. You're right. It's about the Temple," Lelin continued. "You've really pissed them off, you know? There is not a single person on your side now."

"They sent me as a Messenger to you," he stated. "They want you to hand over what you took from them... Or rather, if I were to use the specific terms that they used, they want you to hand over what you stole."

"What did I steal?" Even though Gabriel could see that Lelin wasn't listening to him, he was still curious about what this guy was talking about. Was he talking about the Numens that he stole? But didn't he also steal one in that case?

"Anyway, that's all I had to say. I am just a messenger, after all. After this point, it's your choice what you want to do." Lelin stated. Though if I were in your place, I definitely would have returned the things I took. It's better not to escalate the situation, especially after your current equation with the other gods."

"If the Temple also goes against you, things would be way worse than they are now, even for someone like you... I hope you will make the right choice, Lord Karyk."

After finishing his message, Lelin started leaving, but his last words intrigued Gabriel the most. He addressed him as Lord Karyk? So this was actually a dream related to Karyk as well? Another memory? But how was Lelin here then?

Gabriel took a subtle glance at the back of Lelin's hand, wondering if there was any mark of the element. There was no mark on the back of his hand.

'Is it that he only looks similar to the Lelin that I saw?' He wondered.

There was a saying in his world that there were quite a lot of people who had the same face and looks if all the humans were to be considered. It could be that the Lelin he saw in the Academy was just someone who had the same face as this guy but was a completely different person.

Another question he had was about the supposed Orbs of Time. The name was quite intriguing even for him. He just didn't know what the orb of time meant. He hadn't heard about something like that in his lifetime. Maybe Lambard and Lira were going to know about that, but he had already burned all his bridges with them at this point.

'It would've been so good if I could interact with him like I was able to do with the Goddess of Nature...'

After delivering the message, Lelin left from the same route he came, leaving Gabriel alone in the hall.

Gabriel stood alone, thinking about the Spheres of Time, when he received an idea.

"I still have the Element of Necromancy. The spells of ours should be quite similar since I also received them from the Grimoire. That means our storage realm spell should be quite similar as well."

He didn't have the Mark of Light here to cast his spell of light, but he had the Element of Necromancy, which Karyk used to have.

He could also guess that if Karyk was keeping his treasures somewhere, it could only be his Spatial Storage realm. He was certainly too powerful to be scared and to hide them elsewhere.

Gabriel was quite confident he was going to find the Spheres of Time in the storage.

He raised his right hand, making a circular motion with his fingers before him, casting the Space Storage spell.

Through the. Spell, he was able to connect to Karyk's Spatial Storage and see all the items that were kept there. Amongst all the items, there were only two items that were spherical...

There were two spheres that Gabriel could see inside the Spatial Storage, and it wasn't his first time seeing either of those! These two Orbs were the same that were inside the sealed wooden box inside the Museum of Elements!

Amongst the two spheres, one was black, and one was white!

"These two are Spheres of Time?"

Gabriel grimaced. If that was the case, that meant Lelin took one of the Spheres of Time while he was able to hold onto one. But what were their uses? Why were these things so special? And what was the Temple that was looking for it?
