Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage-Novel



"If he can help us, it'll be good. But if he can't help, then he'll just be a variant that we'll need to get rid of."

The middle aged man who spoke had two blue horns protruding out of his head. Around his neck, some dragon scales were visible clearly. 

It was as if they were real dragon scales. Another strange thing about the man was that each of his eyes had two pupils in them. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . ꜰire

"Do you understand?" he asked the young woman who was on one knee before him. 

The young woman raised her head, looking at the middle aged man. In the end, she nodded her head. 

"Good. Then find him first, no matter what method you have to use!" The man waved his hand. A portal appeared behind the woman. Her body was pushed inside the portal, making her disappear from the room.

Unaware of some of the changes in the Northern World and the entire Upper Realm, Gabriel had entered a new city. 

His new disguise wasn't eye-catching, and he tried to avoid as much attention as possible. 

Fortunately, the city he entered was quite crowded already, which made it very easy for him. 

According to the information that he had, the City was hosting a Poetry Competition between various scholars of the Northern Realm. 

To take part in the Poetry Competition, many Scholars from faraway places had arrived at this place. 

Everywhere he looked, Gabriel was able to see Scholars, dressed in pure white attire, as if they were above everyone else, with how intellectual they were. 

There was not a single Scholar who wasn't arrogant. However, their arrogance was only revealed when they talked to other people. When the Scholars talked to other Scholars, they behaved like a gentleman. 

Seeing all that hypocrisy, Gabriel couldn't shake his head. He didn't know any Poetry personally, however he had memories of Karyk. 

Since Karyk used to be a Prince before everything was destroyed, his knowledge about poetry was already quite high. Gabriel also had that knowledge. 

However, he didn't plan to use that Knowledge. He had come here only for one purpose and one purpose alone...

There were multiple gods that had betrayed Karyk, and in essence, him. He wanted to kill the Goddess of Light, who was the main perpetrator. However, it was hard to get to her. So he decided to start with someone else...

"The Goddess Of Water...." 

According to what he had heard, the Goddess of Water lived in this city. She hadn't reached a high position like the Goddess of Light, but her position wasn't low either. 

The Meztil City was an important City in the Northern Realm. It was considered a high tier City, and it had its own importance. 

In the last thousand years, the Goddess of Water had managed to become the City Lord of the Meztil City. 

Because of that, she also held quite the decent amount of power in her hand. She was the reason Gabriel came here. 

Fortunately, information about the Goddess of Water was also included in the Documents that he received from the Stein Clan. 

"Have you heard? The City Lord will be attending the Scholar's Conference this time?"

While Gabriel was walking toward the City Lord's Mansion, he noticed many guards in the surroundings. With what happened to the Stein Clan, almost every city was on high alert. 

Multiple people were being stopped and being thoroughly checked for any disguises, as long as they managed to raise even the slightest of suspicions of the guards. Even some of the Scholars were checked. However, as there were so many people, not everyone was checked. 

It was even harder to get closer to the City Lord's Mansion with how tough the security was. He could easily go there if he had to force his way. However, he knew that it was bad since it could alert everyone. 

The Goddess of Water was going to escape before he could even reach the City Lord's Mansion. 

The further he went, the more he saw the scholars talking about the City Lord. 

"I've never seen her, but I heard that she's a very clever person! Is she really attending this time?"

"Not just clever, she is also very beautiful. Some even say that she's the most beautiful woman in the Northern Realm! I really can't wait to see her!"

Almost half the scholars that Gabriel saw were talking about the City Lord. And the ones who weren't talking about it also revealed a look of interest in their eyes. 

"The City Lord is coming herself, huh..." He muttered, as he slowed down. 

A thought flashed in his mind. Since she was coming here already, he didn't need to go to her Mansion either. He could simply wait for her here. 

At least that's what he thought. However, after half an hour, he noticed that the streets were getting cleared. Everyone was being sent away, as if they wanted empty streets for the arrival of their City Lord and other Important Guests. 

Not a single person was allowed to be outside here. Moreover, the entire city was covered in a formation that made it impossible for anyone to hide in space. 

Gabriel didn't leave with the others. However, he also didn't fight. He looked towards the mansion that was being used to host the Scholarly Meeting. 

Even though his disguise didn't make him actually appear like a scholar, but that didn't make him hesitate. 

"Why go through all this effort? Just raze the city to the ground. No need to make it so complicated."

Gabriel had only taken a single step when he heard Karyk's voice. 

However, Gabriel shook his head. "I think differently than you. I don't want to kill people not associated with her if I don't have to. Moreover, I don't want to give her a chance to escape."

"Don't tell me you're starting to awaken your morality now, after killing so many people..." 

Back in the Palace, Karyk was lying on the bed. He had quite a complicated look on his face. 

None of them was pure. He had killed so many innocent people as collateral that he had already lost the count. No matter what, if it led him to his goal, he was ready to do anything. 

Gabriel also had a lot of blood on his hands, even before he awakened his memory. 

That's why Karyk found those words to be quite ironic. However, he didn't have any interest in forcing Gabriel. In his eyes, they were two different people now. 

Even though they could talk, that was the extent of it.
