Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

The eighth spell 'Lifeless Heal' was before him. It was the same spell that he had used subconsciously in the Prison of Darkness.

It appeared as if the Grimoire had awakened that spell since it was used by Gabriel. The spell not only allowed him to heal his body but also his soul. It was a High Tier Spell, and a more powerful version of his Light Heal that he had been using before.

As the Lifeless Heal was attached with his Element of Necromancy that he ruled over, that increased the potential of this spell even more.

What surprised Gabriel more was the ninth spell.

"Peak Tier Spell..."

So far, he had only seen the might of a high-tier spell, which was so strong that it was too overwhelming for even his own soul. To use one High Tier offensive spell, his soul wasn't strong enough. Still, he was given a Peak Tier Spell?

He couldn't believe that this was the same Grimoire that was keeping even the middle-tier spells restricted from him as it thought that they were too much for him. And now it was giving him a peak Tier spell?

He didn't realize that it wasn't the Grimoire that gave him that spell. His soul had used that spell on its own, which brought him into his Grimoire as well! The only difference was in the language.

When he subconsciously chanted that spell, the language was something that Lira couldn't understand. Now that the spell was in his Grimoire, he was able to read the spell perfectly as if the spell was made just for him to understand.

"Wrath of the Dead," Gabriel repeated the name of the spell. There was one strange thing about this spell though.

In other spells, at least there was a description of what those spells did, but there was no description about this spell here. The page only mentioned the spell name, the spell tier, and the spell chant!

If he wanted to know what it did, he had to test it himself. He wasn't stupid enough to do it though. He had already seen the impact of a High Tier spell on his soul and his body when he tried it. When it came to a Peak Tier spell, he knew it could only bring a disaster to him.

"I need to be at least an Advanced Tier Mage to use that spell safely," he muttered. Even though this spell seemed powerful, it was a bit too powerful even for him. Unless he was in a life-or-death situation where nothing else worked, he didn't want to try that spell.

"It can only be like a last resort." He closed the Grimoire of Necromancy, sending it back to the Ring Form that appeared around his finger.

Even though he was surprised at getting a Peak Tier spell, he wasn't upset. On the contrary, he was quite happy. He knew just how many enemies he had. He needed as many hidden cards as he could possibly have, as all his enemies were too strong.

"Thank you for the help." He couldn't help but thank his Grimoire of Necromancy.

After he finally had an idea about the reason behind his safe return, some of his questions were answered.

He stood up, looking for the Ancestral Staff of Darkness.

"Hmm? It also succeeded?" Noticing the Ancestral Staff of Darkness, he could see that his Mark of Binding was successful! His mark was not only visible on the Ancestral Staff of Darkness, but it was also shining.

Gabriel could also feel some connection with the Ancestral Staff of Darkness.

"It belongs to me now...?" He reached out his left hand toward the Staff.

Just as his hand was about to touch the Ancestral Staff of Darkness, he saw something that stunned him even more. On the back of his left hand, there wasn't just the Mark of Light. There was also a Mark of Darkness there! Another Elemental Mark! As if two were too little, he now had three.

With a puzzled look on his face, he turned to Cylix and Novius. How was this possible?

"Don't look at us like that. Even we don't know how that's possible," Cylix shrugged all the responsibility off his shoulders since they had no hand in it.

He further explained what happened after Gabriel lost consciousness and how his life seemed to be in danger before everything changed.

Gabriel could only give the credit to the Grimoire of Necromancy in that case. If he was actually captured and unable to escape, the only thing which could bring him back and even help him conquer the Ancestral Staff of Darkness was his Grimoire!

His Grimoire was his answer to every question which he couldn't make sense of, no matter how impossible it sounded.

"Does this Mark mean that I have the Element of Darkness as well now? I can cast the spells of Darkness?" he asked Novius, who was a master of Darkness.

"That's right. Your Mark of Darkness is proof that you're also a Dark Mage now," Novius answered. "You should be able to cast Spells of Darkness. At the same time, you should also be able to use the Ancestral Staff of Darkness to cast those spells and boost their strength even further."

"The only drawback is that you don't have the Grimoire of Darkness, so you can't utilize the element of Darkness as well as the Holy Priestesses of Darkness, but you still have more capabilities than any ordinary Dark Mage thanks to your head start," be continued.

Even though everything here was so bizarre, it was still something that Novius was happy about. If Gabriel was also a dark Mage, that meant the Element of Darkness had a decent and powerful heir.

Moreover, he could teach Gabriel as well now. Before, he only had the Element of Light, so he was supposed to be taught by Cylix. Now, the two of them could teach him so he could be much safer outside and ensure the survival of the Dark Element.

Novius didn't realize that Gabriel was slightly different now. In the past, he was still allowed with Lira. However, now, things had fallen apart. So by teaching Gabriel, he wasn't just going to ensure the survival of the Element of Darkness. It was something else entirely...

"How about you test it?" Novius suggested as he stepped closer.

He taught Gabriel one of the easiest to learn spells. It was a spell that created a small sliver of darkness over one's hands. It was a useless spell for the most part, which couldn't be used for anything except just to create a speck of darkness. At the same time, this was also a perfect spell for this test.
