Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

The Celebration went on for three days straight, with many minor events taking place. During that time, a small competition was established by the various clans of their own, in which the youngsters were to fight.

The Elders thought that this was the last opportunity for them. If the younger generation from their clans could still attract the attention of the Four Generals through their fighting skills, then they still had hopes of becoming the General's disciple.

And thus, a battle tournament was held in which various clans took part. Many of those clans even insisted for Karyk to take part, but in the end, Karyk refused, having no interest in such.

On the other hand, he was just waiting for the General's arrival. At the moment, he had every opportunity that he might need.

The tournament between the youngsters went on, but Karyk paid no attention to it. He didn't even care who the winner was.

The person who was second in the Stairway test came out as the winner of the battles. However, he still didn't look happy, as if he was still frustrated about his previous loss to a mortal.

Taking advantage of the situation, the Elders also had some battles amongst themselves, to show that they were stronger. With so many influential people in this place, this was the perfect opportunity for them to spread their fame as well.

Karyk didn't take interest in this battle either, but Gabriel was different. Gabriel paid lots of attention to the battles of Masters of Various Clans, trying to learn everything he could from them.

Even though they were his potential enemies, he tried to learn from them everything that he could to the best of his abilities.

In the end, three days passed and the end of the banquet drew near. Everyone was only waiting for one thing now. The arrival of the Generals.

The portal that allowed people to leave this place had opened up, but no one was leaving, at least not before the Generals arrived.

Fortunately, the wait wasn't long as a new portal opened in the middle of the Special Realm. An unknown yet powerful aura rushed out of the portal, accompanied by the arrival of four strongest people under the King.

Even Gabriel felt their aura, realizing how strong it was. This was nothing similar to the Goddess of Nature. It was much more powerful.

The four Generals stood next to each other, without much expression on their faces. However, it was clear that they appeared somewhat disappointed for some reason.

The Clan Masters who were still hoping for their Juniors to be selected because of the battle tournament performance were left disappointed when the Southern General thanked them for attending his birthday banquet.

However, he didn't say much else, only telling them that he hoped to see them next time as well, before allowing them to leave.

The Clan Masters were taken aback. It was clear that they had no interest in taking anyone else.

Instead, Southern General gazed at Karyk, with interesting yet disappointed expressions on his face.

"You're coming with me." He told Karyk. Surprisingly enough, he still didn't recognise the young man as long as Karyk didn't use his magic.

He gestured for Karyk to leave with him and the other Generals.

Karyk also didn't resist. What could be better for him? His goal was the King of the Upper Realm and these four generals were the key to reach the Central World. It was impossible to find all of them together.

Without hesitation, he followed after the Four Generals. Gabriel also accompanied Karyk. Unfortunately, a flame wall appeared before Gabriel, blocking him.

"He won't need a bodyguard from this point on," the Southern General lazily glanced at Gabriel. However, it felt as if he was telling Gabriel that he would kill him if the man bothered them anymore.

Karyk didn't look back, but with his hands behind his back, he gestured for Gabriel to remain calm. Even if he was alone, he had confidence to protect himself.

Gabriel clenched his fist, standing still as he watched Karyk and the others enter the portal and disappear.

After everyone left, Gabriel finally scratched the back of his head, as if slightly frustrated. Was there nothing he could do other than wait? No, he didn't want that. He wasn't Karyk's subordinate. Even though Karyk was older, that didn't mean anything for him.

From the start, he had been his own self, working according to his own notion. He couldn't leave everything to Karyk.

"Since you have your own path, I suppose I'll have to make my own as well." Gabriel turned around, leaving the Secret Realm.

He was left alone in the Upper Realm since the Goddess of Nature and Jia were in Karyk's Shadow. However, by now, he at least managed to gather the basic knowledge about the Upper Realm

He also knew that there was nothing to do in the Southern World anymore. It was just the barren land of the Upper Realm after all.

Thus, he also selected his new destination... The most prosperous World in the upper realm after the Central World... The Northern World where all the minor gods from earth who betrayed them had settled down.

The only problem was getting there. But he also thought of a way.

As soon as he left the secret realm, he turned into a shadow, sneaking inside the Majestic Ship in which a prominent family from the Northern World had arrived. This was also the easiest way to get to the Northern World, albeit dangerous as well.

The Ship belonged to the fourth strongest family in the Northern World, the Stein Family, which was an expert in Artefact Creation.

It was said that no one had more treasures than the Stein Family. Despite that, no one was able to harm them, because the Stein Family used immortal golems for their protection which were created by their ancestors. This was the secret of their strength.
