Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

"Theia..." Gabriel subconsciously spoke a name, not realizing why he did so. It was as if he knew yet didn't know the girl before him.

Moreover, the more he tried to remember, the more his head started aching. It was as if there was a powerful barrier that was stopping him from remembering, no matter how hard he tried.

The more he tried to remember, the more hurt he felt. At the end, he couldn't help but grab his thumping head as his veins popped up, becoming clearly visible.

Both the Ancestral Staffs disappeared as he freed them to grab his head instead. Only the Ancestral Grimoire of Necromancy was still out, floating before him.

Theia gazes at Gabriel who was in pain. Unfortunately, she didn't do anything to help the young man. She just watched silently.

"Who.. are... you...?!" Gabriel spoke, still experiencing the tormenting pain. "Why do you seem so familiar?!"

Gabriel's headache only increased yet he didn't give up. He had this strange feeling for a long time, as if there was something important which he didn't remember. It was the same feeling ever since he received the Holy Grimoire of Necromancy!

All the Holy Lords were before their stone slabs, watching Gabriel wreath in pain. Most of them didn't know what was happening or why the Goddess was even here! Even though the Ninth Holy Lord said that killing him could cut the path of future Holy Lords, that wasn't entirely true!

As long as Gabriel didn't kill more than half of them, it didn't affect much! There was no need for the goddess to appear! So why did she come? That was the question in their heads! It also looked as if the arrival of Theia had more to do with Gabriel than the Ninth Holy Lord. It was as if saving the Ninth Holy Lord was just an afterthought!

Another taking that stunned them was that Gabriel looked as if he knew Theia! Even they hadn't known the name of the goddess! How could he know? He wasn't even a Holy Lord yet! So how??

The Ninth Holy Lord had barely survived. He was covered in sweat as he barely remained standing with the support of the stone slab. Killing intent flashed in his eyes as he glared at Gabriel in the distance. Gabriel was at his weakest according to him! For him, it was the best time to strike!

The thought appeared in the eyes of the Ninth Lord and he decided to kill Gabriel.

"Argh!"

The Ninth Holy Lord dropped to the ground, roaring in pain. He only had the thought to kill Gabriel but he hadn't even taken a step yet. Despite this, a mountain-like pressure descended on the Ninth Holy Lord!

The pressure was different from the pressure of Gabriel! It was more like the pressure of the goddess herself!

Covered in sweat, the Ninth Holy Lord looked at Theia, only to find her looking in his direction.

"Don't even dare to touch him in this state. If you try and the protection on his soul activates, even I won't be able to save anyone here then..." Theia's cold voice fell in the ears of all the Holy Lords. Theia's voice was cold but it was also full of concern.

Even though she was a goddess, she was saying she couldn't save them?! This was horrifying in itself for the Holy Lords! Just what kind of person was Gabriel that even the Goddess was afraid of going too far?! Just what was his identity?

Gabriel monetarily even forgot his surroundings. All his focus was on a headache that kept increasing. He didn't even think about where he was or what he was doing! All he wanted was for the pain to end!

"Goddess... The space is becoming unstable. If you don't do anything, this place will be destroyed!" The First Holy Lord stated. Even though Gabriel didn't do anything, just a fraction of Gabriel's uncontrolled power was enough to destroy this place! The space was becoming more and more unstable.

Even Theia was concerned about this. If she didn't do anything, the Holy Region could be destroyed. Unfortunately, she had a lot of restrictions in this place, especially since the person before her was... him. One wrong step and things could get out of control.

"Are you still not going to show yourself?" After a brief pause, Theia softly asked. "Or are you waiting for this place to be destroyed before you show up?"

No one here knew who Theia was talking to. All they could see was that she was looking at Gabriel when she spoke.

The Holy Lords wondered if she was talking to Gabriel. Just who was she asking to show themselves? What was happening?! The Holy Lords were nothing more than just spectators at this point.

While everyone was confused, a strange yet powerful aura spread out. The aura was so powerful that it was almost equal to the aura of Theia.

Unlike the soft and surreal aura of Theia, the new aura that appeared was as heavy as a mountain as if the owner of this aura had tempered himself in the heavenly thunder itself!

"Finally you decided to show yourself." Theia folded her arms, glaring. If you still hadn't shown yourself, I would've had to drag you here myself!

Gabriel was still in pain and didn't know what was happening. His earring started shining brightly as a speck of light came out of the earring.

A young man appeared behind Gabriel. None of the Holy Lords recognised the person. However, if Gabriel could see, he could've recognised that person easily! It was the same person that was helping him train his physique under the fountain.

"A mere spiritual avatar thinks it can drag me anywhere?" The man behind Gabriel asked, coldly. "Why did you have to appear here? Do you know what disaster you almost caused?"

The man placed his hand over Gabriel's head. Gabriel doesn't understand what it was, but all the pain and headache suddenly disappeared. Sleepiness took over and he couldn't even keep his eyes open.

Even though Gabriel felt sleepy, he was still relieved that at least the pain had stopped. He didn't know who the male voice belonged to. He couldn't even turn back to see that person. All he remembered were the words that were spoken before he fell into a sweet sleep, away from all the headache.

At that moment, Gabriel fell asleep. The man stepped forward, supporting Gabriel by holding his shoulders.

"If the Spiritual Avatar isn't enough, do you want the real me to come?" Theia smirked. "You know what will happen to you if I actually come, don't you?"
