Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

The Saint Knight was excited. Finally after waiting for so long, his target was coming in.

As soon as the door opened, without thinking twice, the Saint Knight swung his Sword, releasing a powerful arc of energy that could slice even metal after hit.

Gabriel had sent the Holy Priestess of Summoning inside the room, but he didn't leave. He still remained outside the room, just waiting to observe.

As soon as Avilia opened the door, she saw a bright arc of light flying toward him.

The Holy Priestess of Summoning was keeping an eye on everything that was happening inside the room even before opening the door through her Shadow Beast. She already expected an attack like that and she was fully prepared.

Right after opening the door, she used the Shadow Beast to turn into a shadow and disappear before the energy could even reach her.

Gabriel was outside the room, observing the scene. However, now that Avilia disappeared, he was right in the line of attack, with barely any time to react.

Having no time, he brought out the Sword of Ulien, reacting as fast as he could.

Swiss~

Gabriel swung the sword of Ulien in the same trajectory as the attack of the Saint Knight. A more powerful and more destructive wave of energy came out of the Sword.

He didn't know just how strong the attack of Saint Knight actually was. Just to be on the safer side, he attacked with his complete strength behind the attack.

Saint Knight's attack was destroyed before the red wave of destructive energy as if it was nothing more than a child's attack. Not only was the Saint Knight's attack destroyed, but Gabriel's attack also destroyed the walls of the room and even then it didn't stop.

****

The Saint Knight attacked with the intention of killing Gabriel, but it was only after he attacked that he realized the person who opened the door was the Holy Saintess! At the realization, his heart skipped a beat in fear. Did he just attack that crazy monster? He couldn't believe it.

The Holy Priestess of Summoning disappeared and the attack went straight for Gabriel, only to get a counter.

The Saint Knight couldn't kill Gabriel. Instead, he faced a massive torrent of destructive energy from the Sword of Ulien. Even though the Sword was called the Holy Sword, it was one of the strongest Swords in the world, filled with chaotic energy.

The Saint Knight had never expected a counter. At the last moment, he couldn't even react properly. His mind was clouded and he could only think about dodging, feeling as if he was going to die if he didn't move aside!

He couldn't believe that a person like Gabriel was able to draw out this level of strength from this Sword, as if the Swords had truly accepted him as its master!

The Saint Knight dodged to the best of his abilities, but still he couldn't avoid the attack properly. His left arm was caught up in the wave of destruction, disintegrating entirely.

The Holy Priestess of Summoning came out of the shadows in another part of the room, observing the brief exchange.

"Even without using any spells, his destructive power is quite strong. But as a Mage, his first thought was to use a weapon to attack? That is somewhat strange. Usually, a mage's first thought should've been to use spells of protection to be safe. Is there a reason he didn't use spells?"

Avilia hadn't seen Gabriel use any spells since the beginning. In fact, if it wasn't for her Shadow Beast, she would've found it hard to even believe that the young man was a Mage. Gabriel's refusal to use Spells made her somewhat suspicious.

"You!" The Saint Knight had lost one arm already. He didn't know what to do anymore. His sneak attack had failed badly. Not only did he fail to kill Gabriel, but he also offended the Holy Priestess of Summoning by attacking her.

From his initial assumption, he believed that the two were working together. Even with his strength, he finally lost hope of defeating Gabriel. Even if he could, he was going to be killed by the Holy Priestess.

His first thought was to escape for now and think about how to deal with the situation later. Unfortunately, the room had no windows and it was also in the middle of the castle. There was only one way to leave this room, and it was through the main door where Gabriel was standing.

"Wait, I'm here to talk!" The Saint Knight exclaimed. "I-i was just testing your skills and not trying to kill you!"

"Let me test you as well then," Gabriel responded as he disappeared from Saint Knight's view.

"What?" The Saint Knight's face went pale. Wasn't Gabriel just a knight? How could he disappear then? He finally realised that there was more to the situation that he had realized! The man could disappear and he was accompanying the Saintess of Summoning?

"Y-you are a mage?!" he exclaimed. "Argh!"

A Sword came out of the Saint Knight's chest, covered in his blood.

"Took you long enough," Gabriel's voice came from the back as the Sword was pulled back.

The Saint Knight coughed out a mouthful of blood, dropping to his knees. His chest was bleeding and his clothes were covered in blood.

"The Saint Knight, the guardian of the Empire, was sent to kill a kid... Isn't it just too good? It's like you sent an opportunity straight to me," Gabriel whispered in the Saint Knight ears. "I wonder what people will think of the Royal Family when they find out about this... I'll be sure to use you well."

The Saint Knight's body dropped on the ground as his eyes closed. He couldn't believe he had fallen into a trap. So this was Gabriel's purpose in irritating him before... It was to make him take action against him to destroy the Royal Family's reputation with more direct evidence!
