Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Lelin could only see darkness through the door, but he didn't have to look to be able to know who was on the other side. Just the appearance of this door was enough to make him understand.

"I would've loved to greet you guys, but I'm afraid I'm done here. We'll have to delay this meeting for later..."

As soon as Lelin saw a person step out of the darkness, he stepped back. Two specks of lights appeared in each of his palms. He clapped his hands, making both the specks of light hit each other.

As soon as the two specks clashed between Lelin's hands, a bright light spread everywhere that made everything turn stark white, making it impossible for him to be seen. The bright flash of light only lasted for a brief second before it disappeared...

As the bright light disappeared, it revealed the place where Lelin was previously standing. However, that place was completely empty now. Lelin was nowhere to be found.

As soon as the door had opened, Lelin immediately left, making it unclear if he ran away because he was scared or if he really didn't want to waste time.

A person stepped out of the door, seemingly in his early twenties. The silver-haired man had a pale white face, showing barely any shred of life.

The only thing that made him look human other than his physicality was the anger in his deep red eyes

His long hair waved with the wind as the blood-red gem around his neck shone briefly. The man stepped closer to the place where Lelin used to be standing.

He could see some glyphs on the ground, surrounded by a formation that was left behind after Lelin disappeared.

The silver-haired man only briefly looked at the marks on the ground where he was standing before shifting his attention to the Temple before him.

He gazed at the words that were written using blood all around the temple.

"You let him run away..." Another person stepped out of the door, being a woman.

"He didn't have both the Orbs," the young man known as Vienn answered grimly.

"So you intentionally let him leave?" Jia inquired, also staring at the Temple before them.

Vienn didn't answer, but his silence was enough of an answer for Jia.

"One of the orbs is out. We can get it whenever we want but without the second... It is incomplete for us." After a brief pause, Vienn stated.

They could sense the first orb since it was taken out by Lelin, but the Orb that was with Gabriel was safely kept inside his Grimoire of Necromancy, which made it impossible even for them to sense it.

"I see... So he will lead us to the second..." The woman muttered, nodding. She understood what the man was thinking when he didn't even try to stop Lelin.

The two of them were standing on top of the formation that seemed like the aftermath of the Teleportation of Light spell that helped Lelin escape; however, there were also subtle changes in the formation in the form of the added glyphs.

Even as Lelin left, he didn't forget to leave some nice surprise for them.

The glyphs hidden inside the formation started shining, barely noticeable. It seemed as if the glyphs were slowly absorbing energy from Nature.

Boom~

After the Glyphs gathered enough energy, the entire formation exploded, creating a large cloud of fire that covered quite a lot of area.

The cloud of fire slowly started dispersing as the temperature that had suddenly gone to the extreme started coming down.

The fire disappeared, and even the smoke started settling down, revealing a large crater where the formation used to be.

Above the crater, two people could be seen floating where the ground level used to be before the explosion.

Surprisingly, there was not even a scratch on those two. They didn't even lose their balance, as if they weren't even standing on the ground before the explosion. There had always been a few millimeters of gap between their feet and the ground.

A semi-transparent red barrier was surrounding Vienn and Jia. Both of them looked quite unimpressed at the attempt as well.

Vienn gazed at the crater under him. "Humans are still as naive as they used to be..."

He snapped his fingers. Surprisingly, following the snap of his fingers, the crater under him started filling up. The ground once again appeared right under their feet like it used to be. The only difference was that there was no carving there now.

"We've waited for so long," Jia commented, finally landing on the ground. "I suppose we can wait a few more weeks as well..."

They were right at the core of an explosion, but it didn't even look like they took it seriously. They had already forgotten about it. Instead, their minds were more focused on the words that were written from Blood on the Temple before them.

"He really was a headache to face..." Vienn muttered, observing the blood that seemed more like a beautiful poem filled with agony and less like a threat or anything else.

It was as if whoever wrote them was tormented by their own existence and wanted to let out all their emotions.

"Compared to him, the ones in the present day are mere kids," he stated as he finally lowered his gaze.

He turned his back on the temple and started walking back to the door behind him.

Vienn passed through the door and disappeared into the darkness of the other end.

Jia was the only person who was left behind. She took one more glance at the beautiful yet tragic words.

She stepped closer to the Temple and placed her soft hands on the wall. As if following her commands, the Temple was once again surrounded by that dark matter which hid the blood-red words which didn't deserve to exist.

Unfortunately for everyone, the words couldn't be erased even by gods! They could only be hidden behind another layer, making it impossible to see them unless someone specifically knew what to look for.

After covering the tower once again, Jia also turned around and went back to the other side of the door she came from.

After the two of them went back to where they came from, the silver door closed on its own and disappeared as if it was never there in the first place.

The place once again returned to its usual silence, looking like before. There was no crater on the ground and no signs of battle…
