Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

"This world is just a prison..." The words fell like thunder in Gabriel's ears.

It was said that this was the place where gods were born. From then on, he assumed that the reason there were no gods or Demigods in this place was because they had died, or lived somewhere in seclusion. However, to hear that this world was nothing more than a prison was indeed shocking for him.

"Why would this place be a prison?"

Karyk had already imprisoned the Goddess of Nature in the tomb. It didn't make sense for him to make this entire World into a prison. Unless, there was something more to it.

Gabriel was standing frozen in place, feeling a terrible headache. If this world was a prison, that meant he was a prisoner as well.

While he was distracted, the little girl appeared before him. She grabbed the heavy sword. However, before taking it away, she looked at Gabriel who was in a daze.

With the misunderstanding being clear, the Holy Lords already realized that they had made a mistake and that they were fooled by Alion. No one made things more difficult for the little girl. However, they still kept eyes on her.

"I will go back to inform the Temple about the events that took place here. You'll stay in the city." Ozen disappeared, leaving Litvia the incharge of the City for the time being.

Tap~

The little girl poked the stomach of Gabriel like a child, bringing him out of his daze.

Gabriel was still thinking about the prison when he sensed someone poke him. He came out of his daze, but he couldn't see anyone before him.

It was only when he looked down that he noticed the little girl in front of him, holding onto the heavy sword which was still too big for her.

He stopped talking to Alion secretly. Now that the little girl was this close to him, he didn't think it was preferable to risk exposing himself.

"Do you need something from me?"

Gabriel had neither fought the little girl, nor had he offended her. Unless she sensed his real identity, he didn't believe that she was going to hurt him.

"I am sleepy." The little girl yawned. If people hadn't seen her fight before, they would've just assumed that she was a little girl who had lost her way in the commotion.

Gabriel didn't know why she didn't chase after Alion anymore yet came straight to him. However, from what he could guess, it was because she couldn't sense Alion anymore.

Alion was back inside the palace and the spatial passage with the Palace had been sealed by Gabriel for a month, making it impossible for anyone to sense him.

Moreover, the girl was already sleepy when she came here. Now that Alion was gone, she didn't feel it was worth it for her to spoil her sleep over him.

Amongst all the Holy Lords here, only Gabriel hadn't attacked her before. Moreover, he didn't treat her with hostility. That's why she left her sword for him to protect when she was fighting.

Now that she had a good impression of him, she went to him first.

Gabriel also didn't argue with the little girl. It was better to keep the little girl satisfied for the time being.

"Come with me. I'll arrange for a room for you to sleep in." Gabriel freed Avilia and held the hands of the little girl, as if he was guiding a little child.

The little girl was slightly surprised. It wasn't often that someone took the initiative to touch her, especially since everyone was so scared of her.

She looked at Gabriel blankly. While everyone avoided her like a plague in the past, Gabriel was still so nice even after seeing how strong she was. She didn't feel even a trace of fear from Gabriel.

The little girl followed Gabriel. Her left hand remained in Gabriel's hand while her right hand held the heavy sword, dragging it while leaving a deep ravine behind.

All the other Holy Lords also felt slightly taken aback. They hadn't seen the Holy Lord of Light before, not now that they saw, the man didn't just defeat Alion, spoiling his plan but also calmed down the little demon.

Unfortunately, even though they wanted to stay behind to observe the situation, they couldn't. Alion had already escaped. And before leaving, he threatened them all to have revenge on them.

None of them wanted to stay away from their churches for too long, not wanting to suffer the same fate as the Church of Flames.

One after another, all the Holy Lords left the City which had become a battlefield not too long ago. What was worse was that they didn't succeed and only got beaten. Fortunately, not many people saw that which saved some of their dignity.

Gabriel brought the little girl back inside the Royal Castle. Now that things had come this far, he couldn't just avoid the little girl.

Avilia also followed behind Gabriel, going inside the palace. Only Litvia was left behind in the garden.

Now that the protective barrier was gone, she could easily enter the garden to check it. Unfortunately, with the spatial passage closed, someone at her caliber couldn't detect anything unusual.

Gabriel brought the little girl to the room he had arranged.

"If you need anything, just tell the guards and it'll be arranged. Treat this place like your home." Gabriel stood before the door. However, before he could even finish, he saw the little girl already asleep.

It hadn't even been a second since she fell on the bed and she was already in deep sleep. The girl really looked tired. The heavy sword was lying by the support of the bed.

"Is she always so sleepy?" Gabriel asked Alion secretly.

"Not this much. She must've really exhausted herself to enter this place. It's not easy after all," Alion answered. "Now that you know just how strong others can be, you should really focus on strengthening yourself. You have only one more month."

"I know. As soon as the seal breaks, even gods might not be able to remain immune. I have to become stronger in this one month." Gabriel stepped closer to the heavy Sword of the little girl.

He held the hilt of the sword firmly. Unexpectedly, he didn't feel any resistance from the sword. In fact, he couldn't feel anything. The sword felt like an ordinary Sword with nothing out of the ordinary. It didn't feel like the sword had a spirit or was a treasure.

Unfortunately, it was only when he tried to raise the sword that he truly understood the difference.
