Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage-Novel

Karyk had always been tormented by the past. Even though he was an existence that people could only look up to, the people didn't know his pain.

There was never a night where he didn't hear the screams of his sister and the others as they were tormented and destroyed by his uncontrollable strength!

His sister was the closest person to him, and being the person who ripped her soul to shreds had always been his biggest regret. Unfortunately, he couldn't do much about it. There was only one thing that could help him. It was the Destiny Soul Stone.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried through the decades, he couldn't find any clues to the Destiny Soul Stone. Since it was a soul treasure, not even a Demigod could trace it! This thing could only be found with great luck!

At times, he even wondered if that thing even existed in the first place or was it all just a legend. No matter how small the hope became, he didn't give up. And now that he had a clue, he couldn't give up!

Karyk was completely silent. The Soul Stone was what he absolutely desired. If needed, he was even willing to go to war for it. Unfortunately, just like Theia said, the stone could easily be destroyed by the owner if he actually fought for it.

"Fine! I will seal my army for a thousand years!" Karyk exclaimed. In the end, nothing was more important than the Soul Stone for him!

Also, even if he sealed his army, that wasn't much of a concern. With his own strength, he didn't need to be concerned! For others, his army was a scary existence, but for him, it was just something he used when he was too lazy to deal with something personally.

He promised Theia to agree to her conditions in exchange for the Destiny Soul Stone from the owner!

[Present Time]

The mist dispersed after revealing the scene from Alion's memories.

It was the first time Gabriel had seen Karyk from a third person perspective. In every dream, it was as if he was Karyk himself. For the first time, he looked through someone else's eyes.

"So the seal on the Ground Floor is because of this?" Gabriel finally understood why Karyk sealed his own men! It finally made sense to him! It wasn't because the army betrayed him! Instead, it was for his love and regret toward his sister!

"That means the red stone was... the Destiny Soul Stone. And that girl..."

Gabriel was stunned. He didn't dare to touch the woman anymore. Karyk had gone through so much just to bring her back. He couldn't let the soul be destroyed because of his mistake.

"That's right. That girl is y... Karyk's sister." Alion nodded. "He used all the broken soul fragments and the Soul Stone. It took such a long time for the soul to become complete. However, it's still not perfect."

"Because the soul was completely destroyed and ripped to pieces, it really affected the memories of the girl," he further explained. "Even though this soul belongs to his sister, she is like a completely new person without any memories. Even I'm not sure if she can regain her memories or not."

Alion felt quite bad for the girl before him. Through no fault of her own, she had to bear the pain of her soul being destroyed peace by peace by her own brother. The entire family was so pitiful, especially Karyk.

Even now that she was back, she didn't have a body and was no more than a blank canvas.

"What are you going to do with her?" Gabriel asked. From the scene he saw in the mist, it was clear that Alion knew Karyk in the past and they were quite close.

Now that Karyk wasn't here, it made sense that he was here to take care of the soul. It made sense why he came out now!

"I won't do anything," Alion shrugged. "I will leave her to you. I will just help you recreate her body. After that, she can accompany you outside. I'll leave her protection to you."

"You can recreate the body for a soul?" Gabriel asked, slightly surprised. "Also, why do you want me to take her? Won't she be safer with you? After the commotion I caused outside, even I'm not sure what kind of situation I'll face outside."

Alion looked above, as if he was able to see through the endless darkness to see the scene outside.

"You're right about one thing. The situation outside is definitely not good for you," he sighed. "Even the Temple of Time sent people to check the situation. The commotion is really too much this time. A lot sooner than I expected. Then again, maybe it's destiny itself."

"The Temple of Time is there too?" Gabriel frowned. Even he didn't expect those people to show up. From what he heard, those people were even a bigger threat than the Holy Lords that were probably waiting for him outside.

It was already a surprise to him that those people hadn't rushed inside yet. He didn't know that it wasn't as if they didn't enter this place. It was just that they couldn't!

"Exactly. Why do you think it's a good idea for me to take her?" he asked. "What if I fail to keep her safe?"

Alion shook his head. "I have a feeling that you won't fail this time. As for why you need to take her, it's because she might remember a few things if she stayed outside with you. If I took her, she would only become more and more like a new person altogether."

'Her soul had just recovered. It's essential that the first person she accompanies is someone who is close to her," he thought, but not voicing it.

Since Alion had already made up his mind, Gabriel didn't speak much. He still had a lot of questions left after all. Now that there was a person to answer, he was getting greedy.

"You only told me the origin of soul stone and how it ended up here. But that didn't explain how Karyk died. And how did this girl become his Calamity? Even if his Army was sealed by him, he was still a strong existence. So what happened to him after that?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't know. I've already told you more than I should have." Not only did Alion not answer, but he completely dropped the topic altogether and started helping the woman recover her body. "Her soul can't stay outside for long. I'll start recreating her body."
