Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage-Novel

The Arecia Empire... A place that was once the home of the Royal Arecia Family until the family was completely wiped out, was now the Empire that Gabriel ruled over.

Not many things had changed in the Empire, other than the power structure when Gabriel came into power. The Knight Academy was reduced to a second rate force. The Nobles were removed from their positions.

The ones who resisted were removed with force while all their property was taken by the Empire. As for the ones who didn't resist, they were allowed to keep their property which was enough for them to live a lifetime of luxury.

The only thing that changed for them was that they weren't allowed to keep any military power. Throughout the days, the Empire had stabilized.

Without the Nobles, the lives of the commoners had somehow improved as well. Other than the Emperor, everyone in the Empire was the same now! Even a noble wasn't allowed to kill a commoner unless they wanted a death penalty.

Some people praised Gabriel for this change while others cursed him, calling him a demon. No matter what, every single person in the Empire was talking about Gabriel, even after weeks had passed.

However, strangely enough, one day Gabriel disappeared from the Empire. Since then over two weeks had passed and no one had seen Gabriel anymore! Even the Royal Guards had no idea as to where Gabriel was!

What was even worse was that some mysterious people had appeared in the Empire! They had blood red eyes and some strange yet mysterious abilities that made them stronger than even the Saint Knight of the Empire!

Not a single person could resist them! Fortunately, the men didn't make things difficult for them. Instead, they seemed to be looking for someone!

It was only recently that news started spreading in the Arecia Empire and even the nearby Empires! That news was about Gabriel and it was spread by the Churches who received this news from the Temple of Time!

For quite some time, the citizens found it hard to believe! However when they thought about Gabriel's previous actions, they slowly started believing it.

According to the news, Gabriel was a mage! A mage who was even worse than a Dark Mage! The information that was spreading stated that Gabriel was a Mage of death, who was so evil that he used the death to gain strength!

Even digging a grave was considered to be a taboo in this world, let alone a person who used Undeads and souls to strengthen!

What was worse was that Gabriel was nowhere to be found, which made everyone believe the rumors even more. If Gabriel wasn't guilty, why would he be hiding after all?

Just like that, in an instant, the entire world had turned against Gabriel when he was still inside the Nether Realm.

Almost everyone hated Gabriel! Moreover, thanks to this rumor, the Churches also realized that the person they considered to be the Lord of Darkness was in reality the Lord of Death! He was behind the death of all their members throughout the years!

Even the Lord of Flames believed that the Church of Flames was destroyed by Gabriel!

As if this problem wasn't enough, another piece of news spread which made things even worse for Gabriel! According to the news, Gabriel had somehow taken control of the Grimoire of Light using his evil methods and he had been pretending to be the Holy Lord of Light this entire time!

This explosive news was so shocking that for a long time, the Church of Light was cursing themselves for not realizing the truth! They had lost the Grimoire of Light and that too to such an evil man!

Even the Academy of Elements realized many things. They understood that the person who robbed them the first time was Gabriel! Moreover, the person who killed Izen while pretending to be the Lord of Light was also Gabriel! That's why he wasn't worried about being caught!

Almost everyone was sheeting in anger, trying to find the whereabouts of Gabriel!

Another news that spread throughout the last few days was that the Holy Priestess of Summoning had been captured by the Temple of Time! It was said that she had been working with the Lord of Death! That's why she was imprisoned!

As for who could be strong enough to not only defeat her but also imprison her alive, not many people knew. It was only said that it was a high ranking Temple of Time member who was the second in command of the Temple, almost as strong as the Temple Lord! However, it was also said that the person looked like a kid!

Ever since the Deputy Lord of the Temple of Time captured Avilia, he had been staying in the Arecia Royal Palace along with the prisoner, as if tainting Gabriel and waiting for him to show up!

Just twenty four hours ago, many people who were loyal to Gabriel in the Arecia Empire had been executed in public! These people included the Saint Knight, some high ranking royal guards of the Empire and even the Duke who was a high ranking dark mage!

It was as if everyone who was close to Gabriel was executed one after another, only leaving Avilia who was still kept alive!

Unfortunately, everyone knew that it was only a matter of time! Even after all this time, Gabriel hadn't shown up. Which meant he was scared and hiding!

Just as everyone was wondering how long Avilia was going to be left alive, a declaration spread that Avilia was going to be executed after three days!

It was the first time someone said a Holy Lord was going to be executed! However, no one dared to doubt these words! It came from the Deputy Lord of the Temple of Time after all!

Not a single person knew if Gabriel was finally going to show himself or not. However, they believed that if Gabriel showed up, it was no different than him accepting his death!

The Temple of Time was out in full force and the Churches had also joined them! There was no way out of this trap! As long as Gabriel came, he couldn't leave!

Many people who hated Gabriel were just waiting for him to show up so that he could die! That way, they could at least relax a little. As long as Gabriel was hiding, they always had to be wary!

None of the people realized that the person they were looking for wasn't even in this world at that time! It was just now that Gabriel had come out of the Nether Realm and he was coming straight for the Arecia Empire!
