Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage



Like prisoners, the men were escorted straight to the nearest city. 

To Alion's surprise, the City was the same as the one that he had infiltrated with Jia when he came here last time. The buildings and all the places appeared the same, but there was one thing which was different. 

The security of the defense was much higher. Guards could be seen all around the place. It wasn't just for this city, but all the cities near the portal had been heavily fortified. 

Alion wasn't sure if it was because of what he and Karyk did here in the past, or if it was because these people were worried that the person who destroyed Karyk's world could come here as well. 

In any case, there didn't appear to be many ways to escape. He didn't even know where to find the Lord of Temple of Time in the Nether Realm. 

If he wanted to find the guy in this vast land, he couldn't do it alone. He had to take help... He had to somehow convince the Overlords of the Nether Realm to help him, which appeared quite hard, especially with how much he and Karyk had offended them. 

It was already surprising that these people didn't attack directly at first sight. 

"Who is that woman?" The Captain of the Guards asked Alion, intrigued why the young man was carrying an unconscious woman. 

If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't feel the slightest danger from the woman, he never would've left her with Alion. 

Not only did the woman not appear to be a threat, but if anything, she appeared to be very fragile, as if she could break apart with the slightest touch. 

The woman had a pale face. Even though she was very beautiful, something felt wrong with her. 

"Do you know what happened outside?" Alion asked the man. 

"I heard. The entire world was destroyed by someone. Then again, you people offended so many, that it was only a matter of time." The Captain of the Guards rolled his eyes. "If that person hadn't done it, we would've done it sooner or later."

His face was smug, but his eyes also revealed some concern, since he knew just what kind of strength was needed to do it. If that person came to the Nether Realm, it was unlikely that they could avoid this fate. 

"How are you sure that it was done by an enemy and not just a person who goes around destroying worlds for fun? Or have you ever thought if that person was from the Upper Realm? Don't you have an enmity with the Upper Realm? If I was in your place, I would've been more concerned..."

Alion knew why they were attacked but he didn't tell the people from the Nether Realm. Instead, he used the lack of their knowledge and their fear of the unknown to his advantage. 

At the moment, the Nether Realm considered them an enemy and the only way to change this situation was to find a common enemy, which could force them to forget their enmity and work together.

An enemy of an enemy was a friend. This was the thought that Alion wanted to subconsciously push to the Overlords of the Nether Realm. 

He was brought inside the City Lord's Mansion. 

The place looked much cleaner now. It was as if all the blood traces that he had left behind on this place were cleared. A new city Lord was assigned to this place, along with more security. 

The Captain of the Guards approached the City Lord in private, telling him everything. Soon, permission was granted to escort the prisoners to the Royal City. 

With the help of the Silver Haired Undeads, the group was soon escorted right at the center of the Main City of the Nether Realm where the headquarters of all the Major Clans was established. 

However, the prisoners were brought to the entrance of the Blood Clan, which was where the strongest person in the Nether Realm lived. 

Appearing in the main city, Alion noticed that the people here weren't nervous in the slightest, unlike the people at border towns. It was as if most of them didn't even hear about a world being destroyed. 

It was as if the secret was kept hidden from them. However, unlike the citizens, the Guards at the entrance of the Blood Clan Mansion were more alert and serious. 

Even though it was the Captain of the Border Guards who arrived, they still didn't allow him an entry right away. 

They first checked all the guards thoroughly to make sure that there was nothing wrong with them and no one was being impersonated. After that, they asked for the reason behind the arrival of the Captain of Guards. 

One guard entered the palace with the reasoning, and only after getting permission from inside was anyone allowed to enter. 

Fortunately, the man didn't have to wait for long. The guard soon returned, telling them that they could enter. In fact, he personally escorted all the people inside, including the prisoners. 

Instead of being taken straight to the Overlord of the Nether Realm, Alion and the others were taken to the underground cells where they were imprisoned for the time being. 

At the same time, the Captain of the Guards went to meet the patriarch of the Blood Clan to give him an update personally. 

"Do you think they will try to kill us?" Cylix asked Alion, since it was his first time here properly. 

"If we play our cards right, they won't. However, they probably hate us quite a lot, so it won't be easy." Alion let out a sigh, as he placed Zena on the ground. 

With each passing second, he could see that her condition was worsening. They had to find the Head of the Temple of Time as soon as possible. 

"Just wait a little longer. I promise you, that I won't let anything happen to you. You're my responsibility and I'll make sure I get you better!" He patted the head of the little girl.
