Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

"Theia, you're playing with fire. I might not be able to stop the real you, but I'm not the one you should be concerned about if you came, am I?" As the young-looking man spoke, his eyes subconsciously looked at Gabriel who was peacefully sleeping. Finally, his face was calm and there was no pain.

Even Theia understood what the man was implying. There was only one person who could kill her here, and that person wasn't the man who helped Gabriel.

Theia didn't respond to the statement. She had her own calculations after all. "Take him and leave this place. We are done here."

The man didn't stay back to argue either. He turned around. However, before leaving, he didn't forget to speak his mind. "You shouldn't have involved him by giving your Grimoire to him. I hope you won't regret your interference in the future..."

The Holy Lords almost had their jaws dropped. There weren't many people in this world who could talk back to the Goddess in such a way and leave alive! They wondered just who this guy was! They couldn't see any Elemental Marks on his hand which meant that he wasn't a god from the Era of Gods either! So who was he?! Throughout the nine generations of Holy Lords, none had seen him!

Once Alion disappeared with Gabriel, only the Holy Lords and the Spiritual Avatar of Theia were left behind. The entire Holy Region was submerged in silence. No one dared to speak anything before the goddess. It was so silent that it looked as if not a single person was here!

After a long time, the first Holy Lord managed to gather enough courage to speak. She went down to her knees respectfully. "My lady! What was the identity of those two people?"

"The identity of those two?" Theia didn't take offence to the question. She knew that everyone here had the same question.

Unfortunately, despite the question being a fair question, she didn't answer. "You're not qualified enough to know who those two are."

After speaking, her spiritual avatar disappeared as well.

Back in the real world, the Head Priests were still waiting for Gabriel's return. The door of the Holy Region didn't open. However, none of them realized that Gabriel wasn't inside the Holy Region anymore.

Alion had already brought Gabriel out of the Holy Region. He brought Gabriel to one of the rooms in the Church of Light and placed him on the bed. He covered Gabriel with a blanket.

He didn't want to interfere more than he had to. If it wasn't urgent, he wouldn't have appeared in the Holy Region at all!

Gabriel peacefully slept on the bed as Alion observed the young man to see if he had any wounds. Fortunately, there were none.

"You really make one worry, don't you?" he tapped the forehead of Gabriel lightly. "It's a real headache though. God of Flames should also know about your appearance after what you did last time. Then there's the God of Darkness. And now Theia also knows. Everything is happening so fast..."

He raised his head. It was as if he could see through the roof and directly into a forbidden place. "I hope I'm just overthinking things. Even they wouldn't be crazy enough to..."

"Hmm?" Alion came to his senses as he looked toward the door. He could feel some movement outside. His body turned into a speck of light as he disappeared again.

"I sense his presence from this room!" Avilia came to the room. As soon as Gabriel came out of the Holy Region and inside the Church, she was able to sense him again.

She came straight to this room. Other than Gabriel, she couldn't sense anyone inside the room

Half the Head Priests also followed her, even though they didn't believe her.

"How could the Holy Lord appear inside this time straight from the Holy Region?"

Despite not believing her, they still couldn't do much. They couldn't stop her. She was a Holy Lord and the wife of their new Holy Lord. They could only accompany her to keep an eye on her.

Avilia opened the door and saw Gabriel lying on the bed. His breathing was calm and it didn't look as if he was hurt. However, she didn't understand why he was suddenly asleep as soon as he came out.

She moved closer to Gabriel, wondering if something was wrong with him

The Head Priests were behind Avilia. She thought quickly and realized that Gabriel wasn't wearing a mask anymore! And he wasn't under any illusion either! If any Head Priest saw him, they could see his real face!

For a moment, she even regretted leading them here. In the heat of the moment, she could only cover Gabriel entirely with the blanket.

"Is it really the Lord?" The Head Priests also stepped inside the room, only to find someone who was covered from head to toe in a blanket.

Since they couldn't see who was inside the blanket, they couldn't confirm Gabriel's identity. However, they were slightly convinced. This room was supposed to be empty after all! And no stranger could get here!

"That's right. He's sleeping. Don't disturb him. He must be tired after what he went through at that place."

Avilia didn't let anyone get close to Gabriel. Even though it was none of her concerns, she still wanted to leave the matter of revealing his identity to Gabriel when he woke up.

Moreover, she loved chaos but not mindless chaos. Things had just started becoming interesting for her. A Dark Mage was now the Holy Lord of Light! The longer this farce went on, the more fun it was for her when Gabriel revealed his identity! It was all too soon for now!

"Y-yes. We wouldn't disturb the Holy Lord!" The Head Priest respectfully said. "You can stay with the Holy Lord. We would make sure this area is sealed! No one but us would be allowed to come here. There won't be any disturbances!"

The Head Priests didn't know why Gabriel was asleep, but they could wait. Moreover, there was no problem in leaving Avilia here. She was Gabriel's wife and both of them had confirmed it. If anything, he was safer with her than he was with a Head Priest!

All the Head Priests respectfully stepped out of the room and closed the door without making much noise. Next they went downstairs to inform the other Head Priests to tell them that the Holy Lord was already out and there was no need to wait next to the door anymore.

Only Avilia and Gabriel were left in the room, all alone!
