Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage-Novel



It became even worse when his Ancestral Staff was stolen, which was real and not a clone. 

In the end, all his plans to recover his strength and regain his body were spoiled by Gabriel. 

Alion clenched his fist. However, before he could do anything, the God of Darkness spoke, "Remember where you are. If we start fighting here, it won't be good for any of us."

"Moreover, we aren't enemies. I know I tried some things that were harmful for your friend, but that was only because I wanted to regain my body and my strength. However, now, all of that is behind us. There are much bigger problems, if you haven't noticed."

Alion knew that he wasn't lying. Even if he was, he wasn't strong now. If anything, he was at their mercy so he couldn't scheme much. He relied on a little girl to even exist, after all. 

"You've become quite pathetic," Alion exclaimed, shaking his head lightly. 

"All thanks to your dear friend. Just because I helped him under threats of death, all the other gods went against me after he was killed. If anything, I suffered from the actions of your friend! Otherwise, you know what would've happened to you if you had said that in the past."

The Spirit of the God of Darkness was weak, but it still remembered everything. It still had arrogance and pride, especially before a Demigod, who could be crushed by him with a flick of his finger when he was at his peak. This chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . ꜰire

The hallway was dimly illuminated by torches and the sounds of guards could be heard in the distance. 

"We can talk later. First, get out of here!" Lira exclaimed, as her expressions darkened. 

She motioned for them to follow her and quickly made her way through the maze-like corridors of the castle. The others also followed her, going in the opposite direction to where the guards were coming from. 

They had to find a way out before they were caught and had to fight against an entire army. 

"How do you know there was a route here?' Alion asked Lira. He only knew of one route, and it was where the guards were coming from. 

"I am the darkness itself. I can see what others can't, especially now that my abilities aren't sealed," Lira replied. 

She also used her abilities to make sure that none of them made any footstep sounds. 

After taking a long route through the underground prison, Lira led them all to a metallic door at the other end. 

"I have been in this cell for quite some time. I heard a lot of conversation between the guards," she spoke. "From what I heard, this was another entrance door, which was here because of an incorrect design. After realizing that this entry to this cell was not needed, they sealed it. We would need to open it to get out of here."

"Leave that to me," Alion chimed in, gesturing for others to step back.

The Spirit of the God of Darkness told him to stop. "Anyone but you! If you open it, you'll definitely make too much noise. I can't trust you with this."

Lira also agreed. It was different when it came to bending the bars. However, breaking an entire door was going to be loud. 

"Leave it to me then. I know what to do."

Cylix took the lead, hearing the footsteps coming closer. They didn't have much time to argue here. 

He placed his hand on the door, closing his eyes. He used a Wordless Chant, casting a spell. 

His palm started shining in bright light. However, Novius shrouded their surroundings in darkness, to make sure that no one could see the light in the dark cell. 

The bright light spread throughout the corners of the door, turning into molten liquid which slowly started cutting all the joints. 

The door creaked open slowly. They could hear the guards getting closer, but they had to go through the door before it was too late. 

Fortunately, as all the joints of the door were cut, the door started falling. 

Lira took the lead now, and held the door from falling on the ground with a thud. 

She made sure that the door was gently placed on the ground. 

After the five of them passed through the opening, Lira used the same door to block the opening so the light from this area couldn't brighten the dark maze-like area. 

They continued to move forward, keeping their footsteps as quiet as possible. 

They were out of the prison area, but they were still underground. Since this area was sealed, the construction wasn't continued and there were no stairs to lead up. 

Fortunately, none of them needed stairs. Cylix, Novius and Lira used a flight spell. On the other hand, Alion simply jumped, landing on the half constructed platform on the ground floor, from where the stairs were to connect if they were ever made. 

"From here, it'll get dangerous. We are on the ground floor, and getting out without getting discovered... It would be quite unlikely. But if we are discovered, you two shall run. I'll hold the others back."

Alion told the plan to Cylix and Novius. All of them couldn't be caught. If they were discovered, one of them had to stay behind to hold the others back. And he couldn't expect Lira to be that person. He decided to stay behind if that was ever the case. 

He was the strongest in the group, and had faith that he could give the others enough time to escape. 

Cylix and Novius knew that they could not argue with Alion's decision. They agreed to the plan and continued to move quietly through the bright corridors, trying their best to avoid everyone.

As they were just about to reach their destination, they heard a loud sound coming from behind them. 

They all froze in their tracks and turned around to see what was going on. To their surprise, they saw a group of guards running towards them, their weapons at the ready. They were discovered…
