Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage-Novel

Gabriel stood in silence inside the room, looking outside. The room was filled with complete silence.

He calmly turned around, taking a casual glance around his room. His expressions were incomprehensible but in his eyes, there was a momentary shine as if he had noticed something interesting. He didn't express it. He just walked to the bed and picked up his golden robe, donning it around him.

After wearing his robe, he turned into a shadow and disappeared from the room.

As Gabriel left, the room returned to silence. The silence only lasted for a few minutes though.

A few minutes after Gabriel left, a person appeared in the room, coming out of the shadows, revealing their face.

A beautiful woman appeared in the room, having a slender figure and a charming face. However, she wasn't someone that Gabriel hadn't seen before. In fact, he recognised that woman all too well. He had met her at the start of his journey after all.

"So his guess was right. There was really something wrong with the new Emperor. Who would've guessed that it would be the case. The Emperor is none other than..."

A frown spread across her face as she thought about it. When she was sent here, she hadn't expected this to be the case.

"None other than the person who came to ask for Numens?" A voice came from behind, finishing her sentence and stunning the young woman.

The young woman was shocked as she turned around, only to find Gabriel back in the room.

Gabriel was standing with his back resting against the wall, observing the young woman that he only met a few times in the past.

The woman was none other than the maid of Lambard! He had always felt that the woman was special since she accompanied Lambard all the time and was trusted by him the most.

However, even he hadn't expected the woman to be this good. The woman managed to sneak inside his room, even though Callum was right outside the palace? Callum wasn't as strong as him, but he was still a powerful mage after all.

Even he found it hard to sense the presence of the woman. It was all thanks to his interaction with Avilia that he found out about people who could hide in the shadows to lurk.

It was only from that time that he decided to keep an eye on all shadows around him to make sure that he wasn't being spied on. That was also how he found the strange presence.

"Lord Gabriel!" The woman turned around, stunned. This guy actually knew about her being here? The entire thing about him leaving was no more than a trap to bring her out of the shadows?

As soon as she realized that she was caught, she instantly tried to get out of here! She was only sent here to observe the new Emperor on commands of Lambard who felt that something wasn't right about the new Emperor.

She wasn't authorised to fight at all.

"Huh? What did you do?" Her face turned dark as she realized that she couldn't leave the room! He was unable to turn into a shadow at all. It was as if the entire room was sealed by a strange power.

Gabriel doesn't bother explaining. He just played with a small orb in his hand, tossing it into the air and catching it like it was a ball.

"That! That orb?!" She exclaimed. She recognised the orb right away. As she had spent so much time with Lambard, she knew quite a lot about the Numens, especially about the Numens that Lambard paid quite attention to!

The Orb in Gabriel's hand was one of those Numens. It was kept in the Academy of Elements and was amongst the items that were stolen by Gabriel.

"It looks like Lord Gabriel has no intention of letting me leave." The woman frowned as her eyes showed a trace of killing intent.

"That depends on your behaviour," Gabriel answered. He already had a situation to deal with outside, but the woman before him was more important! He had always wanted to find Lambard's new location and this woman was the key to get to Lambard.

He didn't have any good impression of Lambard since that guy pulled back the ring of disguise before the time was up, essentially leaving him abandoned in the middle of the enemy zone. To say they were friends was an overstatement. However, they weren't entirely enemies either... At least to that extent. There was a really unique relationship between them.

"What do you mean?" The young woman asked, frowning. Even though she wasn't allowed to fight, it wasn't that she was scared. If the situation demanded it, she was sure she could fight back and get out of here!

"I would advise you to not even think about escaping. I promise you, no matter how strong you are, you aren't capable," Gabriel calmly reminded the woman as more and more Death Knights appeared in the room, surrounding the woman from all sides.

The Death Knights were created with the Head Priests of the Church of Flames as a base. Initially, Gabriel didn't know if they could use spells like the Head Priests even though they had a peculiar elemental mark which looked like the Elemental Mark of Flames.

However, throughout the days and his experiment, he found out that it was the case! The Death Knights, especially the evolved ones, could use their previous elements without any problem.

Moreover, what was the best part was that they had forgotten most of their memories related to their lives but they still remembered the basic things and their spells!

The only difference between their current spells and their old spells was that they could only control pitch black flames now and not the dark red or blue flames like usual.

Gabriel didn't care about that much of a difference though. He only cared about his fighting prowess that had increased by leaps and bounds thanks to that.

The young maid looked around, frowning. She didn't know what these creatures around her were, but she could feel a heavy aura of death from these lifeless beings! It was as if their strength wasn't weak at all!

"Does Lord Gabriel really intend to go against us?" she asked Gabriel coldly.

Even though she wasn't sure if she could successfully escape or not, she still wasn't willing to surrender.

"If something happens to me, Master will-"

​ "He will attack me?" Gabriel finished the woman's sentence again. It was as if he didn't care about that at all.

"Maybe that's what I want? He does have something that he owes me after all."

Gabriel walked closer to the young woman, not in any hurry. An aura of death filled the entire room, giving the woman a feeling of standing before death itself!
