Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Gabriel stepped closer to his castle. All the traps, and dangers that not many people could avoid were in place. However, since it was Gabriel in the lead, none of the traps activated! An illusory bridge also appeared over the bloody river of evil souls.

Gabriel and Raphael walked over the bridge, swiftly reaching the entrance of the castle that used to be the most forbidden place in the past for other people.

"I'm back home." Gabriel pushed the door opening, finally taking a step inside his old home.

The interiors of the castle hadn't been cleaned in a thousand years yet they were still spotless. Hundreds of undead stood on the first floor, trapped in Shackles that had sealed them. However, they all suddenly opened their eyes, as they felt the true presence of their monarch!

Even though it was painful for them to move under the effect of the seal, they all turned toward Gabriel, going down on one knee, as if they were greeting their Emperor.

Raphael was also stunned by the phenomenon! All the people here were undead! Moreover, not a single person was weaker than him! This kind of army... It was impossible to even imagine!

What was even more bizarre was that he could see a few people who appeared to be of the same species as him! The Ancestors of his clan!

He was still in disbelief! His ancestors that were said to be all powerful also worked for Gabriel?! Moreover, with the devotion in their eyes, it didn't look like they were forced to work either! They truly believed in Gabriel!

He had always been thinking that everyone from his clan had died and he was the last person from his clan who was still alive. However, strangely enough, just in this castle alone, there were over twenty people from his clan.

"Rise..." Gabriel raised his hand gracefully. It was as if he was back a thousand years in time. He wasn't Gabriel in this place. Instead, he was Karyk!

"I've trapped you into this place for a thousand years to save the life of a person I hold dear. However, it's time for you to be free and once again walk this earth freely!"

Gabriel raised his hand in the air. Thousands of thin illusory threads came out of his hands, all attaching to the sealing chains that had maintained themselves for a thousand years.

Crack~

Crack~

One after another, the cracking sound of all the chains responded in the huge hallway.

Within a few minutes, all the sealing chains shattered. His entire army was free of the shackles!

He could only imagine what his soldiers felt being sealed in this dark place for a thousand years. However, since he was connected to them, he knew that none of them had any resentment toward him!

All of them had accepted his decision without a single question and remained here for a thousand years, despite having consciousness.

He still remembered the day when he had sealed his army. He told everyone in his army what he was going to do and why he was going to do it.

Moreover, he had also offered them all a choice! If they didn't want to be sealed, they could leave his army and go back where they came from, having no relation with him! His promise was only to seal his army after all. Once the soldiers left him, they didn't count as his people.

However, strangely enough, all of them decided to say! That kind of loyalty was surprising, even though he was the one who gave them a new life!

The consciousness of his undead wasn't under his control. He had allowed them the ability to think freely, only keeping certain controls for himself. For example, the soldiers could decide what to do in case of emergency.

However, even with free will, they couldn't scheme against him. Other than that, there were not many restrictions that he had placed on the Undeads since he treated them like his army and not just puppets!

For the world, Karyk used to be a tyrant who was an emotionless being that could kill anyone standing in his path without blinking an eye. However, to his soldiers, he was their master... A master that they could give their lives for!

As all the undead were freed, they could finally move without any pain. However, they all still remained on one knee before Gabriel, as if welcoming their overlord back after a thousand years!

Even though Gabriel had come here a few weeks ago, but he hadn't completely awakened and the Undeads could also sense it! This time, it was his true return!

Gabriel told them all to stand up. He had already told them many times in the past to never do such formalities since he didn't care about such. However, these guys never listened when it came to this.

All the Undeads stood up after being given Gabriel's permission to stand.

Karyk's undead army had multiple generals that led a certain section of his army.

For the mages in his army, the General was an undead Lich King. The Lich King was also one of the strongest members of the army! He was also the first Undead that Karyk had controlled, right after he created the Army of Undead Spell!

That also made the Lich King the oldest member in Karyk's Undead Army! Moreover, the Lich King was so strong that the Lich Gabriel faced on the way to the Nether Realm couldn't even be compared to him!

Another General of his army was the Damphir King, who was half vampire. The Damphir King controlled the smallest section of the Undead Army, but all the men under him were extremely skilled. Thanks to their skills and speed, they were said to be the perfect assassins.

In total, Gabriel had seven Undead Kings of the past era, working under him as Generals. Raphael's ancestor was one of those Undead Kings.

"Two new members will be joining the army from today." Gabriel broke the long period of silence, gesturing to Raphael to step forward.

Raphael's ancestor's eyes lit up to see a descendant here! He felt relieved that his descendants were still strong enough to attract the attention of their monarch.

Gabriel assigned Raphael to work with his Ancestor.

After that, he brought out the Silver Haired undead from the Nether Realm who was never seen in this world. None of the Undeads in his army recognized such an existence. They couldn't even feel a trace of spirituality from this person.

They were really curious about where this person came from.
