Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage



In the Central World, the King of Upper Realm gazed through the mirror before him, watching Caen leave. He also didn't forget the threat that the young boy issued to him. 

Cracks started developing on the mirror, which shattered into a thousand pieces, which all dispersed in thin air. 

"Arrogance has always been the downfall of even the greatest of gods..."

The King of the Upper Realm closed his eyes, not reacting. Instead, he told the four Generals to leave and take care of the Upper Realm, which was in chaos currently. Only he was to stay behind. 

....

In another place, the Lord of Flames came out of a portal, appearing in a dark and unknown place, which lacked any elemental energy that he feasted on. 

"Why did we run?! Just what happened?" He asked, looking at the statue in his hand. However, the statue remained silent as if it was an ordinary statue. 

"Someone came... Someone strong..." A gritty voice came from the statue. 

"Stronger than me?" The Lord of Flames asked as he respectfully placed the frightening demon statue on the ground. 

"At your current strength, even a thousand of you wouldn't have been able to stop the person... He felt... Just like him..." The Voice of the Statue always used to be arrogant and filled with confidence. However, even now it was serious. 

"If I had broken all my Shackles, I wouldn't have any need to run. But as we are now, we can't do anything! I need more blood! I need more sacrifice! The Shackles must be broken fast!"

"I will make it happen!" The Lord of Flames declared with crazed eyes. However, in those eyes, there was still some regret visible that he wasn't able to kill Gabriel, who he wanted to kill for a long time. 

"Next time we meet..." He muttered, clenching his fist tightly. 

****

In the Deep Abyss, Gabriel's body floated in the absence of gravity. He had stopped bleeding, but his body was still missing a heart, as there was a large hole in his chest now. 

He couldn't breathe, and his clothes were covered in blood. However, for some reason, he still hadn't fainted. It was as if even in the absence of his heart, there was still something that was keeping him alive. 

However, the dark chaotic abyssal energy kept destroying his body from the inside, as if trying to swallow him home. The Abyssal energy was even stronger in the Abyss. 

Gabriel floated in the space, staring at the endless darkness. His mind was hazy. All his thoughts were slow. In just a few minutes, everything changed and he didn't even understand how it all happened. 

He didn't know if the man was telling the truth about him killing his sister and destroying his word. But he didn't think that it was a lie.

Even though he wasn't Karyk, the feeling deep within his heart for the little girl was still the same! She was his sister and no one could change that. The thought of losing his family again shook him to the core. 

Many faces flashed before his eyes... All the people who were dead in the destruction of his world... Avilia, the young girl who always stood by him, even though she didn't need to.... His sister... Cylix and Novius who were probably back to life in their new bodies by now, and everyone else who worked with him through his journey... All were gone. 

More importantly, he couldn't forget the face of Caen. Whenever he thought of that person, his eyes were filled with murderous intent! He wanted to destroy that person! He wanted to crush that man's skull under his feet! He wanted to take everything from that man that he held dear, just like he took from him!

The Realm of Gods... And everyone who resided in it... Gabriel started hating them all. He now believed in the words of the Beast Monarchs. Those people all deserved death! 

Unfortunately, he realized that it was too late. He couldn't even move his body anymore, let alone return. Moreover the pain was becoming overbearing...

"Is this it?" He thought, being swallowed by the endless darkness. "Even after all that... Even after everything... I couldn't protect anyone."

"No! This can't end like this! That man..." 

Even as he couldn't move a single finger, Gabriel didn't give up. If anything, it was his hatred that was keeping him going. He had to go back! He had to pay that man back! He had to destroy the realm of gods, even if it meant giving up his life. 

The pain was spreading through his body like wildfire, but Gabriel pushed through it. He gritted his teeth and with a surge of willpower, as he tried to move his hand. 

There was only one thing he could think of... One last hope!

Gritting his teeth, he gave it his all to bear through the pain, raising his trembling hand. 

He inserted his hand, that felt as heavy as a mountain,inside his pocket, bringing out a talisman... The Talisman given to him by the Beast Monarch. 

He didn't know where he was, or if the Beast Monarchs could even help him in the first place. However, this was his last hope. 

He gave it his all, as he tore the Talisman to activate it. 

The talisman lit up, as soon as it was torn, becoming the only source of light in the endless darkness. However, that light was soon swallowed by the darkness of the abyss again. But before that light was swallowed, Gabriel saw something that stunned him. 

It was as if there were thousands of frightening Nightmare Beasts all around, made purely from the energy of the abyss!

Their sharp teeth could tear through even a god's flesh in an instant! They were the Nightmare Beasts!

It was as if all the Nightmare Beasts were hunters, about to leap at their prey to destroy its body, mind and soul!

As soon as the light disappeared, Gabriel once again wasn't able to see any, but he knew they were here. What he didn't understand was why they weren't attacking him? What was stopping them?
