Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

"Holy Lord of Wind, and Holy Lord of Summoning." Gabriel also stood up. The situation certainly wasn't ideal, but nothing could be done about it.

Dealing with a Holy Lord was harder than dealing with a Head Teacher of the Academy, especially if he didn't want to show all his cards.

Moreover, it was an open space. Even if he cast a powerful barrier, a Holy Lord probably had enough secrets in his arsenal to be able to destroy the barrier and escape after he realized that winning against Gabriel wasn't easy.

Since there was no way to stop the Holy Lord of Wind from running away, that made things somewhat more complicated, especially since he had to fight Avilia as well to keep up the act and he couldn't go easy.

In essence, it was his toughest battle until now.

"You recognise us. Not bad," the Holy Lord of Wind was somewhat surprised. For even the Holy Lord of Darkness to know what he looked like.

"You know, I'm curious about one thing though." The Holy Lord of Wind rubbed his chin curiously. "There are some rumors that state that the current generation of the Holy Lord of Darkness is a woman. However, other rumors state that you're the Holy Lord of Darkness. Are you really the Holy Lord of Darkness?"

"You're right. The Holy Lord of Darkness is a woman," Gabriel answered. There was no benefit for him to lie. It only attracted more enmity to him after all. Moreover, it was the first time he saw someone who managed to guess the truth.

The Holy Lord of Wind glanced at Avilia before glancing toward the Tower of Challenge in the distance. It was unclear just what he was thinking about.

"So you're not the Holy Lord of Darkness. I don't believe you're a subordinate of the Holy Lord of Darkness either. If anything, you're stronger than her," the Holy Lord of Wind commented.

Gabriel frowned. That guy... So he was still hiding things from him. He knew more than he showed! It was clear at this point!

"So what you said about hearing the rumors was a lie." From the way the Holy Lord of Wind talked, it was clear that he had already met the Holy Lord of Darkness Lira! In that case, everything he said before was just a test!

"Who says I can't hear rumors and meet the real person?" The Holy Lord of Wind smirked. "Though I must say, I'm more interested in you than I'm in her. You're not the Holy Lord of Darkness. And you're as strong as us. Moreover, even I can't sense just what element you use. Let me guess..."

The smirk only widened as the Holy Lord of Wind further commented, "You're the masked person who attacked the Holy Church of Flames, aren't you?"

"That means, your element is... the long lost ancient Element of Necromancy!"

...

Silence. For a moment, there was only silence everywhere. Even Avilia was stunned. Just how did this guy find out? He managed to decipher the answer just based on the little pieces of information he had? Even she wasn't capable of something like that!

Gabriel wasn't any less surprised either! The Holy Lord of Wind... He was dangerous! For the most part, his enemies were in the light while Gabriel hunted them from the darkness! It was the first time where another Holy Lord came down to the Darkness to reveal his reality!

What was even worse was that he spoke it openly. Even the Head Teachers of the Academy heard what he said! Even Eliana who just returned heard what the Holy Lord of Light said which shocked her!

She hadn't heard about the Element of Necromancy in her life, but from what the man's tone implied, this Element was powerful and never seen before!

"No wonder he was strong enough to escape from us. This Element of Necromancy... It allows him to use other Elements freely?!"

Eliana didn't know what the element actually did. In her mind, the Element of Necromancy was like a Cloning Element which allowed a mage to use the abilities of other Elements! She had already seen him use the Element of Light and the Element of Darkness after all!

"If this is true, then his strength..." Eliana looked grim. If her guess was right, then Gabriel was more threatening than she guessed. Fortunately, the two other Holy Lords were here to kill him! She could finally relax a little! If Gabriel died, there was no threat anymore!

Gabriel hadn't used the Element of Necromancy in the open for the most part. His aura was hidden and so was his mask. Moreover, it's been so long since someone saw his element! Then how was the man able to guess? That was the question in his head.

"Did Lira tell you?" He asked the Holy Lord of Wind.

There were only three people other than Avilia who knew about his Element of Necromancy! One was Lira, the other was Lambard and the third was Lambard's maid!

Lambard was a turtle who wasn't going to leave his city. As for the maid, that was out of the question as well. The only one who was left was Lira! Not only did she have an enmity with him, but she was also the one who met with him.

"It doesn't matter how I know, does it?" The Holy Lord of Wind shrugged. "What matters is what can you do about this? The Holy Lord of Flames will burn you alive if he finds out that you were the one who messed with him. As for the others..."

The Holy Lord of Wind didn't finish his sentence. His implication was clear.

"The world is wary of the unknown," Avilia chimed in. "If this news spreads, you will become the first target of everyone... And a hunt will begin... A hunt like never before... A hunt that will put even the last Holy Wars, where the Dark Mages were wiped out, to shame."

It was as if Avilia was talking to herself, but in reality, she was reminding Gabriel without revealing herself completely.

"What if I killed everyone here?" Gabriel asked as he stopped holding back his aura.

The aura which was like a tsunami engulfed the entire Academy, flooding it!

The Holy Lord of Wind felt the power aura, but he wasn't even frowning.

"Hahahah!" Instead of worrying, the Holy Lord started laughing. "Incredible! So this is the aura of Necromancy! Truly incredible!"

"You're right. If you killed me, no one would know. But can you?"
