Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage-Novel

"That was the day this world was sealed..."

Alion had been silent all this while, but ultimately, he also started speaking. His memory was still so vivid, as if everything had happened just yesterday.

The little girl nodded. "That's right. At that time, no one knew what that spell did. Some even thought that the spell was going to destroy everything. Multiple shackles could be seen flying through the skies all around the world that day."

The sky was crystal clear and bright blue. It was even hard to imagine that this sky used to be all black once upon a time.

"You can't see the shackles anymore but they still exist outside. Even though so many years have passed since Death Star passed away, his shackles are still intact, although slightly weaker than they used to be at the start."

Gabriel looked up at the beautiful sky. He had never guessed that this was the imprisonment that Alion talked about before. If he imagined this world as the Goddess of Nature, the shackles around the world were similar to the shackles around her.

"He sealed this world, but this time, it wasn't to keep the people of this world imprisoned, was it?" Gabriel wondered. Usually, when something was imprisoned, it was to make sure they didn't roam around freely outside,l. However, from what he was told, the situation this time was different.

"This world was imprisoned to keep the outsiders from entering this place?" he asked.

Even though Alion didn't answer, it was already quite clear.

"If I'm not wrong, the years where he was missing, he wasn't even in this world. Instead, he was outside, killing and gathering soup strength for the stone of destiny."

"That means the people who managed to hurt him were also the people from the outside. To prevent them from entering this place, Karyk sealed this place."

Even with the limited pieces of information that Gabriel had, he understood multiple times. The people of this world weren't strong enough to suppress Karyk. However, when the outsiders were thrown in the mix, that changed the entire situation, making it much more complicated.

Gabriel continued with his line of thought. Since Karyk was already dead, that could only mean he failed in the end. "Despite the sealing of the world, those people managed to enter this place and Karyk died? Did the sealing spell not succeed?"

"How could that be? The sealing spell completely exhausted Karyk. He even used a part of his soul, sacrificing it entirely to seal this place. The spell was a success and even gods couldn't trespass the barrier." Alion sighed. "Unfortunately, when things start falling apart, misfortune comes one after another."

He further continued, as if forgetting that he was the one who was against telling Gabriel everything. "Since Karyk was in a hurry, he didn't even completely wait for himself to heal after this large scale spell before going to the ridge between life and death to recover his sister's soul."

"His sister's soul? The ridge between life and death?" The little girl asked, stunned. Even though she knew that Karyk disappeared, but she didn't know the exact reasoning behind it. Just as she expected, Alion knew more about Karyk than she did!

"So that's where he was when he disappeared for two more years after casting that large scale sealing spell?"

"Hmph. If he didn't go there, do you think things would've deteriorated to the level they did?" Alion coldly asked. "Karyk was said to be a ruthless and emotionless being. However, if he really was like that, could he really have trusted those shameless gods to forget the grudge between them?"

"You mean...?" Gabriel frowned.

Alion sounded angry but there was also a trace of sadness in his tone. "One could guard against the outside enemies, but when the enemies come from within, all precautions fail..."

"While Karyk was missing for the next two years, the outsiders found a way to contact the people of our world. They contacted the strongest gods of this world, and even some demigods." Even though Jia didn't know where Gabriel had gone for two years in the past, she knew everything that happened outside at that time.

"The outsiders gave the gods some advantages. They even offered them treasures and opportunities to enter their world which was filled with treasures and growth opportunities. All they had to do was help them make a small opening in the barrier."

"Since the gods already had some bad relationship with Karyk, they didn't even hesitate in the slightest."

"After seeing Karyk's large-scale spell, they further realized the difference between the two sides at that time. They just didn't want to allow Karyk to exist anymore," the little girl spoke. "While Karyk was missing, the two sides worked together and finally found a way to create a small opening in the barrier."

"Karyk came out after two years. He was already hurt before entering the ridge between life and death because of the large scale spell and using a part of his soul on the Barrier. Inside the ridge, his body and soul was even more hurt," Alion again took the lead. "He was already at his weakest."

"Even the person known as the god of death couldn't travel safely in that place. When Karyk came out of that place after succeeding, he was already at his weakest. However, by that time, those bastards were already here!" Some blood lust flashed in Alion's eyes. It was as if he wanted nothing more than to kill those people.

"The strongest beings of the outside world, and the gods of this world... All of them attacked Karyk as soon as he came out," Alion explained.

It was clear that he was having a hard time controlling his emotions. Gabriel couldn't help but wonder if this was the reason why Alion refused to tell him anything. Because he didn't want to remember that past?

"I don't know if he was taking precaution or he already expected this, but right before he was surrounded, he sent the stone of destiny with his sister's soul to me and told me to leave and hide..."

"Even though I wasn't there personally, I've heard some descriptions about that battle. That day, one person stood against everyone, all alone." Jia spoke. It was unclear if she was idolizing Karyk for his bravery, or for his strength, but in her eyes, it was clear that she respected him a lot.

Even at his weakest, Karyk didn't run. He stood in the middle of the onslaught, all alone. That kind of courage, she didn't think she could've displayed something similar.
