Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage



All the souls that were used to create the Golems had merged into something abysmal. It was as if they had all lost their individual personalities while still maintaining some of their old selves. 

Because they were a combination of multiple souls, they had no single thought. It was as if they were full of Chaos. 

He could also feel plenty of hatred inside the souls that were directed at the outside world. Unfortunately, they couldn't move on their own, no matter how much they wanted. They were bound in something akin to shackles. 

"You're back!"

While Gabriel was lost in thoughts he heard a voice coming from behind him. Multiple footsteps resounded. 

He took off his hands from the statue and glanced back, noticing various High Ranking Guards of the Stein Clan. 

He realized that some of the guards had already gone to inform the higher ups about his arrival. 

He took one more glance at the statues, feeling as if they were asking for his help. 

He didn't do anything for now, simply landing on the ground, facing the guards. 

He didn't react to the query of the guards and simply started walking toward the Mansion in the distance where the Patriarch of the Stein Clan was staying. 

Since everyone already knew about his arrival, it was only a matter of time before they came for him anyway. 

Accompanied by multiple Guards, Gabriel reached the mansion where the Elders were already prepared for him. 

They were all told that Gabriel was on their side,and it was quite likely that he possessed the inheritance! They had to treat him nicely if they didn't want to offend the Patriarch of the Stein Clan. 

" It's good to see you safe and well." One of the Elders laughed, welcoming Gabriel. The door of the mansion was open. 

As Gabriel stepped inside, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Despite their friendly demeanor, he knew that the Elders were cunning, and their true intentions were quite easy to decipher. 

They all wanted to ask about the inheritance right away. It was clear that this was what they were all after. 

Unfortunately for them, Gabriel had no intention of giving away that information. It wasn't as if they could know if he succeeded or not. After all, there was only one person who accompanied him inside, and even that person didn't know that he received the inheritance. 

Gabriel was brought to the main hall, where the Stein Clan Patriarch was already waiting for him. 

Next to the Patriarch, was his daughter who revealed a beautiful smile as soon as she saw Gabriel. 

She was quite pleased when she found out that Gabriel hadn't betrayed them. However, ever since he was taken by the Beast Overlords, she had been constantly worrying about his safety, especially since such a long time had passed. 

After seeing him safe, she finally sighed in relief, waving her hand at Gabriel. 

Gabriel took notice of her, but his reaction was quite normal. 

Unlike before, this time there was already a seat prepared for Gabriel, on an equal standing to the seats of the Elders. However, none of the Elders were offended. 

All the Elders were grinning from ear to ear, believing that the inheritance was within their grasp. Why else would this kid come back if he didn't have the inheritance?

Gabriel was informed about which seat was his. He took the seat. The other Elders also sat. 

The main hall was closed and a sound proof barrier was cast, to make sure that none of the conversation leaked. 

"You have no idea how much you've helped us by finding our inheritance!" The Patriarch of Stein Clan laughed, heartily. It was rare for him to be so happy. "With that inheritance, it's only a matter of time for our clan to rise! Then we can work together, helping your revenge!"

"Hahaha, I knew Gabriel was a talented young man! He actually succeeded." An Elder chimed in. 

"That's correct. It's rare to find such talented youngsters!" Another Elder affirmed, laughing. 

The atmosphere was quite pleasant. The long cherished wish of the Clan was about to come true after all. 

"Give it to the Patriarch." After all the elders spoke their heart, praising Gabriel, one of them spoke, getting to the main topic. 

From start to the end, Gabriel was sitting silently, not showing much reaction. His eyes were calm, as if he was just observing his surroundings. 

"Give what?" he asked, seemingly confused. 

"The Inheritance, of course! What else!" The First Elder smiled. "Come on, don't joke around. We're all quite eager to see what it's like!"

Gabriel tilted his head sideways. "Inheritance? Is there a misunderstanding? I didn't find the inheritance. I was followed by the girl from the Dragon Clan all the way. If I had the inheritance, you think I would've been alive?"

Gabriel could see the greed in the eyes of all the Elders. Even though Ulesis and her father were somewhat different, but he still didn't feel comfortable giving that book to them, especially since that was the completed version, which was even worse than the ones their founder had found. 

"Young man, as I said, now isn't the time to joke around!" the smile on the First Elder's face disappeared, changing into a malicious look. 

"If you failed in finding the inheritance, how dare you return to us instead of dying somewhere?!" He further continued, as his tone became only sharper. 

The Stein Clan Patriarch was also frowning. He was still trying to understand the situation. Did Gabriel really fail? But if that was the case, why did he feel that something wasn't right?

"That's enough..." He intervened, telling the First Elder to stop. 

"I can't stop! It's clear that this brat found the inheritance! Didn't you hear that he went to the Golems as soon as he returned? Why else would he do that if he didn't have the inheritance?" The First Elder only became louder. 

"It's clear that this brat has gotten greedy! He wants to monopolize what belongs to us!"
