Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

The Holy Grimoire floated mid-air, stunning everyone who saw it. All the Head Priests understood what this implied! It meant that the Holy Grimoire of Light had finally selected a person!

Dazed, everyone looked at Gabriel in the distance, only to find him standing silent. Gabriel's eyes were blank and his face expressionless. At the moment, it was as if he was an unmoving statue!

It wasn't that Gabriel was shocked to the point that he couldn't move. However, he just couldn't. As soon as the Holy Grimoire of Light awakened, Gabriel found his surroundings changed. Everything around him turned stark white, filled with light. He couldn't see the room or anyone present in it!

Gabriel looked all around, only to find a white light that was enough to blind ordinary people. As he turned around, he noticed that the white light had started dimming and the surroundings started taking shape.

He found himself standing near a cliff. Surprisingly enough, that cliff was the same where Hawrin had pushed him to his death. But at the moment, Hawrin wasn't there. Instead, there were three people there!

Gabriel couldn't see the faces of those three people as all three of them had their backs toward him. He could only notice the back of their hands!

The person on the left was a young woman who was donning a beautiful white dress. Not a speck of dust could be seen on her clothes, as if she was so pure that even the dust refused to sully her clothes. A serene aura could be felt around that woman.

On the back of the woman's left hand, Gabriel noticed the Elemental Mark of Light that he had seen many times before!

On the right, there was a slender young man, who had a cold aura around her, that reeked of darkness. The man had the Holy Mark of Darkness on the back of his left hand.

What attracted the attention of Gabriel the most was the person in the middle. Even though Gabriel couldn't see that person's face, he felt extremely familiar with that person.

The man had short light blue hair and appeared like a Prince from his attire. However, his aura felt the most dangerous out of the three of them, suppressing the auras of the other two without even trying!

The man had no elemental Mark on the back of his left hand. However, the same couldn't be said for his right hand! On the back of his right hand, the young man had the Holy Mark of Necromancy that was the same as what Gabriel possessed.

Gabriel felt really curious about the three people. This scene was clearly not a dream, but it wasn't reality either. It felt something else entirely. Subconsciously, Gabriel started stepping closer to the three people.

Even as Gabriel stepped closer to the cliff, the two men didn't turn around. On the contrary, it was the young woman on the left who turned around, glancing at Gabriel with her pure eyes.

It was only when the woman turned around that Gabriel noticed a beautiful white Grimoire floating before her. The woman's face had no expressions initially. However, as she noticed Gabriel, she seemed a little surprised.

She glanced at the young man next to her before looking at Gabriel again. Her lips crept up, as if showing a bit of a smile that wasn't quite a smile yet.

A small white arc of light appeared next to Gabriel, leaving a small cut on his finger.

"Argh!" Gabriel gasped in pain. It was quite different from the pain he ever felt before.

The young lady slightly nodded before turning her back on Gabriel again.

Gabriel reached out his hand, about to speak something but before he could even let a word out, the world turned white again.

When the stark white light retreated, Gabriel found himself standing back in the room inside the Church of Light where he previously was. He felt a little pain in his left hand. As he looked down, he noticed his finger bleeding.

The Holy Grimoire of Light floated closer to him, coming right under his finger that was bleeding. As soon as a drop of his blood fell, the Holy Grimoire of Light captured it and absorbed it, making a blood connection with the young man.

What was even stranger was that after the Grimoire absorbed his blood, the cut on his finger healed on its own.

Gabriel felt a connection with the Holy Grimoire of Light, similar to what he felt with the Holy Grimoire of Necromancy. The only difference was that the Holy Grimoire of Necromancy felt like something which truly was a part of his body but the Holy Grimoire of Light was slightly different.

Gabriel sent a thought to the Holy Grimoire of Light to see if it could also disguise itself as an accessory. Within a blink of an eye, the Holy Grimoire of Light turned into a small bracelet that wrapped around Gabriel's left wrist.

The suppressing aura that had forced everyone to their knees had already disappeared as soon as the Holy Grimoire of Light was bound to Gabriel. The Head Priests could move. But still, none of them stood up. They all looked at Gabriel in a daze while remaining on their knees.

The door of the other room opened and the old man who had escorted Gabriel inside the Church rushed in.

"He is selected?" He asked. There was excitement in his eyes at the same time as some jealousy. He wanted to be selected by the Grimoire but he had failed. At the same time, he was happy that the Church had finally found a Holy Priest!

"Send every outsider out! And seal the Church! Without our permission, no one is allowed inside!" The other Head Priests also stood up one after another, taking charge of the situation.

"Also, activate the defensive formation!" Another Head Priest exclaimed. "Make it harder for even a Holy Priest to probe inside!"

"Yes!" Some of the Head Priests spread out. They had already found their new Holy Priest. Now all that was left to do was to suppress the information from the world until Gabriel was ready to appear before the world as the Holy Priest of Light.

Gabriel didn't focus on what the people around him were saying. Instead, his mind was still focused on the white Grimoire before him. He kept thinking about the scene he saw with those three people at Cliff?

According to his information, before him, there was only one other person who had the Holy Mark of Necromancy and that person was Karyk!

'That means the person in the center was Karyk! To be able to stand beside him, the other two people must be... The Goddess of Light and the God of Darkness?' A frown engulfed him the more he thought about it.
