Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage-Novel



A thin veil of light appeared in the middle of the woman and Karyk, as she retreated hastily. However, to her surprise, Karyk didn't follow her. 

However, before Karyk could move, the Lord of the Upper Realm once again appeared before him, blocking his path. 

"As I said before, I can't allow you to kill her." 

His calm voice spread in the hall. However, at the same time, Karyk heard the rest of the sentence which only he could hear, where the King spoke, "At least not yet. She still has a purpose to serve."Follow current s on (F)ire

Karyk took a glance at the woman hiding in the back, looking at him as her mocking gaze landed on him, as if she was instigating him to attack. 

Instead, Karyk turned toward the portal in the front. Even though there was a chance that on the other side of the portal, there was a trap waiting for him, but that's not what he felt. 

He felt as if there was something calling for him on the other side of the portal... The Temple of the Ancestor... A place that no one knew much about. 

However, it was said that the Temple was created by one of the Ancestral Gods and no one really knew where it was. There were only some rumors that it was here. 

Since the Lord of the Upper Realm never left this place, it made Karyk always feel that there was some truth to the rumors. 

However, if the Temple of the Ancestor was here, that meant there were more things here as well...

Moreover, his element of death was getting somewhat restless as he looked toward the portal in the distance. 

"What if I don't take your offer?" Karyk asked. 

The King of Upper Realm waved his hand, creating another portal that led straight to the Northern World. "Then you are free to leave. And from this moment on, you won't be charged by the Generals if you don't kill innocent people for no reason."

As the man spoke, he raised his right hand, grabbing onto something above him in thin air. 

A small sphere appeared in his hand, which he tossed at the Goddess of Light. 

The Goddess of Light subconsciously grabbed the sphere. However, as soon as she held the sphere, her body went out of control, shooting toward the portal of the Ancestral Temple. 

Her body flew uncontrollably, entering the portal that she was so eager to enter. 

"It's a simple choice. You want to take a step into the future, or a step back into the past?" The Lord of Upper Realm stated before turning around. 

He walked out of the hall, followed by the four Generals, who just went with the flow. 

Only Karyk was left behind in that place with no people to influence him. He was free to choose any of the two portals. 

Nevertheless, he had already reached a decision. He stepped toward the first portal, disappearing inside. 

Outside in the long hallway, the Four Generals didn't know how to ask. They had so many questions. 

Before they could even think what they wanted to ask, the man in the lead answered, "You'll get all your answers soon enough."

His gaze landed in the distance, as he thought of something. He only shook his head lightly. 

"He's going to need that for what's to come. However, if he had left through the second portal, maybe he could've stopped some things... Then again, it's not as if I didn't warn him. What happens to his home has nothing to do with me. There are bigger things at stake..."

Karyk disappeared inside the Portal leading to the legendary place that very few people knew the existence of. 

However, in the other place, Gabriel had also begun his search for the person who kept destroying cities, killing millions of people wherever he went through. 

The Northern Realm was in turmoil, as people were filled with dread, not knowing which city was going to be targeted next. 

The only clue that people had was that it was the work of Karyk, which made Gabriel's life even harder. 

Gabriel appeared in one of the cities that were destroyed. He could only see blood spilled around, and human limbs everywhere. The scene was gruesome, as it meant someone didn't just kill them, but kill them in the most gruesome of ways. 

He called out the Death Generals from his Shadows, telling them to help him. 

Thousands of Karyk's Death Soldiers spread out through the city, searching for any clues or traces. 

At the same time, Gabriel checked the destroyed buildings. He could see some burn marks all over the building, as if it was burned. However, the marks didn't appear to be made from flames that he knew. 

He couldn't even touch the walls, without feeling a burning sensation that made him feel like it was something truly evil. 

"This sight is definitely what I saw when people were being sacrificed to the statue. It's too similar... Someone is definitely sacrificing these people. But why?" One of the Death Generals asked. 

Unfortunately, he couldn't even contact Karyk at the time. 

"That's right. The question is why? Why is someone sacrificing so many lives? What's their goal?" Gabriel asked the same question. 

He didn't know much about these things, even through Karyk's memories. It was something completely new.

"If you hadn't killed everyone in that sect, maybe we could've interrogated them." He stood up, letting out a sigh. "Or could it be that someone in that cult survived and is doing it? But still, why?"

"For them to be able to destroy this city, they are definitely very strong. So what else do they want?" The Death General frowned. 

"It's like some evil ritual in the stories, used to awaken some demons..." The Silver Haired Undead that Karyk had brought from the Nether Realm commented, thinking of something. 

Gabriel raised his head, thinking that it made sense. "But, if the person trying to awaken the demons is that strong, how strong would the person being Summoned is?'
