Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

The Head Teachers were in a daze as they heard Gabriel threaten Izen. It wasn't often when a person threatened the Dean of the Academy. Gabriel was not only arrogant, but he was also not holding back at all. It was as if he thought that he really ruled this place.

"You!" The Head Teacher of Light Eliana couldn't take it anymore. No matter who it was, she couldn't let them insult Izen! Even though Izen was the Dean of the Academy, she considered him like her elder brother! To see him get disrespected in such a way...

"Me what?" Gabriel shifted his attention to Eliana. He understood that Eliana had helped him last time, but that was when she didn't know him. After she found out about him, she was also a part of the people who tried to imprison him. He didn't feel much gratitude toward her.

Moreover, Eliana was also the one who recently told Izen about his suspicious identity, bringing more trouble to him at the Church. If he couldn't solve the situation at that time, he knew that all his plans would've gone down the drain.

As soon as Gabriel's focus landed on Eliana, Eliana felt a heavy pressure on her body. It was as if a mountain was resting on her shoulder.

Eliana was a Mage of Light. No matter how powerful she was, she was still suppressed before a Holy Lord of her Element! The other Head Teachers were in a much better condition and so was Izen who had the help of his Robe and higher strength.

"That's enough." Izen stepped in front of Eliana, stopping the heavy pressure that was affecting her.

At the moment, even though Izen wasn't speaking much, a lot was going on in his mind. He was angry! He was frustrated! And he was having a hard time controlling his anger!

First, Gabriel robbed the Academy and killed the previous Head Teacher of Flames! That incident was the reason the Academy of Elements currently had the worst reputation in a long time. The Academy was already insulted and it had become a laughing stock of the Churches and the Royal Family that knew about the robbery!

As if that wasn't bad enough, the Holy Lord of Light was here to disrespect them in the open?! It would've been a different matter if they were alone here, but many students were here as well, seeing everything.

Even Izen couldn't ignore it anymore.

"Since you're so eager, I would love to see how you take my head off!" Izen finally couldn't control his anger. His robe fluttered as a strange pressure was emitted from his body.

His aura countered Gabriel's aura for the most part, allowing the students and the others to be able to stand up.

He knew that today's actions could easily make them the enemy of the Church of Light, but he didn't care! Today, someone insulted him before his students! Someone had threatened to kill him before everyone else! His bottom line had been reached!

"The Church of Light had been arrogant for far too long! It's time someone puts it in its place!' Izen stated. He has had enough! "The rest of you, vacate this place. Take all the students to a safe distance!"

Eliana and the other Head Teachers acted fast, telling all the students to follow them. Thanks to Izen's aura, they could finally move freely.

Gabriel genuinely didn't expect a response of this kind. He really thought that Izen was going to give him a path to enter the Tower. It was surprising to see that Izen would instead fight and make the Church his enemy than to step aside!

The old man behind Gabriel, who was responsible for giving them crystals that recorded their achievement and allowed them to teleport out easily, also stood up to leave. However, as soon as he stood up, he fell down.

Gabriel reached out his hand toward the old man. "Before leaving, give me the stone..."

The old man was horrified. Gabriel was close to him. He could kill him at any moment. On the other hand, Izen hadn't taken any action since he was still waiting for the place to be vacated first so that the students weren't hurt!

The students who were in this tower were the future foundation of the Academy after all!

The old man was already sweating. He didn't have much courage. He just picked up a stone which corresponded to the Element of Light and gave it to Gabriel. He didn't even have the courage to carve a name for the stone.

Gabriel received the stone and kept it in his pocket, allowing the old man to leave as well.

Within a few minutes, the ground floor Tower of Challenges was completely empty, leaving only two people inside. There was around ten metres of distance between the two people.

The doors of the Tower were still open. Izen didn't even bother to have the doors closed since he was sure that the Holy Lord of Light wasn't going to be a coward enough to run. It was the same for him.

If they were already in this situation, he was ready for the aftermath. He believed that today, either he was going to die or Gabriel!

If he died, it was going to be the end of the Academy of Elements which couldn't survive the next full strength attack of the Church of Light! However, if he managed to kill the Holy Lord of Light, the Church was going to be no more than a Headless Snake which couldn't do anything.

Also, who was even going to dare to attack the Academy which had a person who was strong enough to kill a Holy Lord?!

The fate of two huge organizations was on the line and over a small thing!

Outside the Tower, a lot of teachers were standing. Students also started gathering. Amongst the students, there were many who had known Gabriel when he was a student here.

In those students, there was also one particular student that Gabriel had partially even forgotten about after so many things happened in quick succession. The person was Maya...

"Why do you always stand in my path?" Gabriel asked, sighing. It was the second time that Izen had blocked him. First time, he was blocking him from leaving. If the Infernal Emperor wasn't there, he would have probably been killed at the time!

Izen didn't answer. Since things had reached this point, there was no point delaying the battle.

Just like last time, Izen used the same trick. His body split up into twenty clones, all having the same aura and strength as him. All the clones surrounded Gabriel from all sides.

This time, Gabriel was already prepared for it.

"That same trick won't work everytime..." Gabriel responded, raising his left hand high up.

What happened next surprised even Izen. Izen had managed to create twenty clones. However Gabriel... He managed to create over forty clones already, and all were the same as him!

Previously, Izen enjoyed the number advantage to take care of his enemies. He hadn't expected that this time, his enemy was going to use the same trick as him to deal with him!

For each of Izen's clones, there were two of Gabriel's clones!

Gabriel didn't stop there either! He didn't have much of a mastery of his new spells of light. Moreover, Izen also had the robe of Nullification. Gabriel doesn't want to hold back anymore. For that, he took some extra steps. .

He called forth his Ancestral Staff of Light and immediately cast a spell! The spell cast a barrier around the Tower. The entire tower was covered in a white shroud. No one who wasn't as strong as Gabriel could pass through the barrier! That wasn't the biggest advantage either!

The biggest advantage was that no one could see what was happening on the other side of the barrier. No auras leaked outside either! Moreover, Izen couldn't leave this place without killing him either!

Izen was trapped! And he was trapped with someone that the world called a Demon! What was even better for Gabriel was that he didn't need to hold back any of his Elements inside this shield!
