Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Along the way, he saw many old places, including the city where he had fought the Demon before he came across Caen.

The City was in ruins. The signs of battle were still present, as if nothing had changed in such a long time.

He was quite curious as to what happened to the Lord of Flames and the strange demon after he escaped last time.

The Lord of Flames was completely corrupted by the demonic statue the last time Gabriel fought him, only for the battle to be interrupted in the middle.

He soon left the ruined city, appearing in a more prosperous area, the City which was protected the best in this commotion.

It was the Domain of the Northern Dragon Clan, whose daughter he had a dealing with in the Beast Region. The Clan was powerful in the past, but with the death of the Generals, Gabriei was certain that the clan was going to gain even more influence and strength.

It was also possible that one of the next generations of Generals to rule over the Northern World was going to be the Dragon Clan Patriarch.

He remembered that the girl had made him promise something in the Beast Forest. He wasn't even sure why he remembered something like that at this moment.

Maybe it was his way to convince himself that he was still his old self, or it was a method for him to completely detach himself after taking care of everything pending.

He appeared at the entrance of the Northern Dragon Clan. The castle was majestic and its walls were so tall that it was impossible to climb over them. The only way to enter was through the main entrance.

He could easily teleport inside the clan, but he felt tired. Since he wasn't here as their enemy, he chose to enter through the main gate.

At the main entrance, a couple of guards watched him approach. The Guards raised their spears and stood before the door, but as soon as they looked into Gabriel's eyes, their body went limp.

Their spears dropped to the ground. They didn't know what this feeling was, but it was as if a predator was approaching them. And it was when Gabriei didn't even release his aura. It was just the innate feeling the two Guards received.

"W-who are you?" They asked respectfully, similar to how they talked to their Lord. They didn't dare be disrespectful since the fear this man ignited in their heart was higher than anything.

They had the noble bloodline of the Northern Dragon Clan but even they couldn't help but feel suppressed.

"Ezil, daughter of your Patriarch... Can you tell her that someone from the Beast Region is here?" Gabriel told the Guards as he stood silently with his arms folded, like a guest who was waiting there.

The guards looked at each other. Although they didn't know who Gabriel was truly, but they didn't dare delay. One of them stood up and went to the main mansion.

The other guard stood straight, but fear was still clear on his face. He took occasional glances at Gabriel who simply stood there with his eyes closed as if the world itself had gone silent for him.

...

"Someone from the Beast Region!?" The young heir of the Northern Dragon Clan frowned as she heard the guard's words.

"Can you describe this person's facial features?" Ezil asked, wondering if the person was the same as the one she guessed.

She had been looking for Gabriei all this time, but she couldn't find him, as if he had just disappeared somewhere. Thus she wasn't certain if this was him.

As the Guard described the man's features, Ezil stood up, convinced that this was him.

"Is he at the entrance?" She asked, draping a robe over her shoulders as she left her room.

"Yes, hopefully." The Guard was certain that if Gabriel wanted to enter the mansion, no one should stop him. So it depended on Gabriel if he was still outside or not.

The woman left the mansion, followed by the Guard. As she reached the entrance of the Mansion, she saw a man standing right outside. It was the same face as she remembered in the Beast Region, but at the same time, she felt unfamiliar.

Gabriel opened his eyes, feeling her presence. He glanced at the woman in the distance. His eyes were emotionless, as if he was looking at a stranger.

Ezil froze in place. Her heartbeat slowed down. She didn't understand it clearly, but her back was drenched in clothes. She felt fear... true fear.

She saw Gabriel in the Beast Region as well and he was strong there, but she still felt calm before him at that time. But now, she felt as if she was standing before a Giant who could simply crush her with ease.

"Cough," She coughed to clear her throat as she stopped looking in Gabriel's eyes. She felt that this feeling had something to do with his eyes.

She misunderstood this as the effect of some of his skills which activated when someone looked in his eyes. As she stopped looking at him, her heart finally relaxed a little v

"Come inside."

"I'm not here to enter your mansion," Gabriel replied, not moving an inch. "I'm here to fulfill that promise."

"Promise?" The woman was momentarily confused but she soon remembered. That promise was the reason she was looking for him after all.

Unfortunately, she didn't have any need for that promise anymore. The Beast Monarchs had disappeared.

The other major Clans were also destroyed. And the Four Generals were killed. Her father was the supreme being in the Northern World now, with no one here stronger than him. He didn't need help.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think there's anything you can help me with now," Ezil answered him.

She knew that Gabriel was strong, but could he be stronger than her father? It was impossible. So she didn't need his help anymore.

Even before when she made him promise, she only did so because she wanted his help to bring the Beast Monarchs and her Northern Dragon Clan closer to prepare for when her father was to challenge a General's Position, but now there was no need. That position was as good as his.

She simply smiled as she spoke, "So consider that promise to be fulfilled."

She didn't realize what she was missing up on.

She thought about suggesting something else, asking Gabriel to work as her guard, offering him a position in her clan. For any teenager, it was something to be proud about to be part of a General's Clan!

Moreover, she also considered him to be a talented man, so it wasn't a loss for the clan either.

After a brief pause, she spoke, "If you really want to do something for me, then-"
