Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Gabriel stood in the midst of hundreds of enemies that could neither feel pain, nor fear.

What was worse was that he was attacked from both sides, front and back. Due to being on the stairs, he didn't even have enough space to dodge.

The stairs also had a sealed space, making it impossible to open up a space to teleport to a different place. One could only climb up step by step if they wanted to go above.

The Undead Orc rushed to Gabriel, holding a heavy ax in his hand. On the back, the Blood Demon's hand transformed into a sharp bloody Sword that he swung at Gabriel's back.

"If you think making it crowded is enough to kill me, then you still underestimate me a lot." Gabriel's cold voice spread far.

Clank ~

A metallic sound was heard, followed by a boom. On one side, Gabriel called out the Sword of Ulien that he used to block the ax of the Undead Orc. At the same time, on the other hand, he held the real Ancestral Staff of Death.

To fight the Undead Orcs, Gabriel knew that just his cold weapon was enough. However, the Blood Demon's weren't so special as their blood was their weapon. Only magic could stop them.

The Book of Necromancy came out of his body, floating right before him as well. The Book of Necromancy looked slightly bigger now. Its aura was more subtle now. However, multiple spirits could be seen floating around it.

As soon as the book appeared, the Orcs and the Blood Demons stopped for a moment. However, it was just a brief moment before they broke free of the subconscious control of the Grimoire.

"Spirit Explosion."

After the Blood Demon was blocked, Gabriel used his first spell. An evil spirit rushed out from the Grimoire, as if it was unable to control itself.

The spirit shot straight to the closest Blood Demon, only exploding after it struck the Blood Demon.

Boom~

A loud explosion took place that made even the stairs tremble a little. Deadly flames spread out due to the explosion, destroying more than just the one Blood Demon that was hit.

While Gabriel dealt with the Blood Demons using magic, a head could be seen flying high in the air.

Not long after, the head finally dropped to the ground, followed by the lifeless body of the Undead Orc who was slain by Gabriel's Sword.

Gabriel took a step forward, climbing up. Even with so many undeads to face, he still had an advantage that the Lich didn't think of. Even though the stairs made it impossible for him to dodge, but at the same time, it was precisely because of it that more than a few Undeads couldn't fight him at the same time.

What was even better was that even the Undeads couldn't dodge!

The Magic Casters and the Undead Elves were more troublesome since they attacked from long range. It was very hard to kill them without exposing himself to danger. That's why, Gabriel just let them be for the time being.

He simply cast a small barrier in the air above him to protect himself from the magic attacks and the arrows of the Undead Mages and the Archers. The Undead Orcs before him also acted as his shield so that any attack from the Mages could only come from above him which gave him this opportunity.

With each step that Gabriel climbed, the head of an Undead Orc rolled on the stairs while their bodies dropped lifelessly. Gabriel climbed the stairs, walking above the corpse on each of the steps. At the same time, the Blood Demons behind him were having an even harder time getting close to him.

They were the ones who had to face the brunt of Gabriel's magic. They were usually very hard to kill. However, in front of Gabriel, all their weaknesses were exposed, leaving all their flaws in the open for him to exploit.

One after another, the Undeads kept dying. Whether it be strength, magic or defense... Gabriel was above the Undead in all these aspects. What was even better was that the Lich underestimated him.

Not only did Gabriel not exhaust himself, instead he was only recovering his strength the more he killed. It's been a long time since he could kill so many after all.

Within the next ten minutes, Gabriel had already climbed fifty more steps, leaving only fifty or so more.

He also dealt with all the Blood Demons behind him and the Undead Orcs. The stairs of hell were covered in blood and footsteps that belonged to him.

Now all that was left were the Undead Skeleton Mages and the Archers. However, Gabriel didn't deal with them one by one.

He just raised his right hand in the direction of the Undead Skeletons and the Archers.

"Devour." Only one word came from his mouth... A world belonging to a spell that he hadn't used before in his current life.

As soon as Gabriel used the spell, it was as if time stopped at once. The Archers and the Skeleton Mages stopped even moving, as if their souls were going through seven layers of hell, unable to even see what was happening right before their eyes.

At the same time, an invisible force kept attacking their body, slowly devouring it.

Within seconds, over fifty Undeads were dead, leaving not even a single drop of blood behind. What was even better was that Gabriel felt as if he had regained all his strength that he spent in casting the spell.

"Are you going to show yourself now, or should I drag you out personally?" Gabriel asked as he kept climbing up lazily.

"You are strong." A lifeless voice was heard before a cloaked being appeared at the top stair.

The Lich had appeared again. However, he was somewhat surprised himself. He wasn't even born when Karyk came here last time. So he hadn't seen Karyk's means or how this guy faught. He only heard some things about Karyk which made him believe that he could easily take the guy down.

He didn't realize that everything he heard wasn't entirely correct. He lived in the outermost layer of the Nether Realm. The beings there were the most arrogant. Even if they were brutally thrashed, they would've never accepted the opponent's strength.

Just to maintain their dignity, the others from the outer layer that saw Gabriel's onslaught last time bragged that Gabriel was just lucky to be able to avoid their pursuit. They didn't say that it was them who were hiding when Gabriel was in the outer layer of the Nether Realm.

It was all because they didn't really believe that Gabriel was still alive. What could a dead person even do even if he found out that they were lying.
