Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

An assault had begun on earth with destruction spreading everywhere. Not a single country managed to avoid the chaos.

Explosions could be seen all around, as clouds of flames rose from places. Many buildings came crashing down. Every resistance proved futile. Every place from where the dark robed beings passed through, nothing but death was left behind as if they were grip reapers who arrived here to deliver the divine punishment.

One such Dark Robed Man was walking very close to the area where Janus and Ryder were staying a few days ago. Unfortunately, he couldn't sense anything extraordinary.

Within minutes, many bustling cities lay in ruins, with eerie silence replacing the sounds of life. People cowered in fear, hiding in whatever shelter they could find, praying for the nightmare to end. The world seemed to hold its breath, waiting for a glimmer of hope to break through the darkness.

There was only one person who hadn't acted yet. It was Ezekiel, who was still standing high in the sky looking at the destruction taking place on earth.

His eyes held a strange emotion that was hard to grasp. It was as if he wanted to stop this carnage, while at the same time holding strong.

Looking at the scenes of destruction, he was reminded of the scene where his own world was destroyed, all because some gods wanted to play a game. Where he used to be in the past, earth's citizens stood now. And where those cruel gods used to stand, he was standing.

In this circle of life, he was brought to an end where he had become what he hated the most. But still, he couldn't grow soft. He didn't have much time left.

He had to make a choice - to either continue down this path of destruction and become the monster he despised or find a way to break this vicious cycle. Deep down, he knew that the only way to honor his former world and its citizens was to find a way to end the reign of these cruel gods once and for all.

Even if he had to become a monster that he wanted to eradicate, he couldn't fall back. He could only keep pushing and wait for Janus to show up.

He hated the sight of destruction and innocent people running to save their lives, but he didn't close his eyes. He watched the sight clearly, as if he wanted to remember all his sins even in his last moment. He wasn't going to run from his actions. It was his burden to carry.

While Ezekiel was focusing on the scene before him, his expressions changed abruptly. He suddenly looked above, feeling another presence. It was a very familiar presence.

High in the sky, he noticed a woman. Though she possessed an unmistakable human form, her enchanting eyes shimmered with a remarkable hue of violet.

Her flowing golden hair cascaded down her shoulders, glistening in the sunlight as if she were a celestial being. Ezekiel's expressions darkened as he recognized her. Time seemed to stand still as their eyes locked.

"You seem to be having fun," the Woman spoke, with a slight trace of smirk.

"What are you doing here?" Ezekiel asked with a frown. Subconsciously, he moved his right hand behind his back.

Before he could get his answer, he sensed another presence. A Spatial Portal opened and Gabriel stepped out.

As soon as Gabriel stepped out, he caught a glimpse of the woman which stunned him. She had clearly flown to this place, yet she was faster than him using a Spatial Portal?

"Just what is she?" he subconsciously spoke. This woman had defied all common sense. Because of that, he was late.

"Did you miss me so much?" The woman laughed, glancing at Gabriel. "Don't tell me you fell for me at first sight?"

Gabriel remained silent, manifesting a Sword forged from the depths of his purest energy. It was as if he was ready for a battle. He knew why this woman was here. She herself said that she was here to kill Ezekiel.

"He has nothing to do with me. Let him go..."

To Gabriel's surprise, Ezekiel appeared in front of him, hiding him from the woman's view.

The Woman simply smiled but didn't respond. It was impossible to read her thoughts.

"What are you doing? She's here to kill you!" Gabriel exclaimed, not understanding why Ezekiel appeared like he didn't even have the courage to face her.

Ezekiel stood defiantly against the gods, defying them single-handedly. He confronted the most formidable enemies even during his weakest moments. Despite facing dire circumstances, he displayed unwavering courage every time.

However, this time, there was a noticeable change in him. Who exactly was this mysterious woman? Why was Ezekiel pleading for her to leave him be? Gabriel had many questions in his mind. Unfortunately, Ezekiel didn't answer him.

"I might consider your request if you let me finish what I'm here for..." The woman spoke. As if Ezekiel already knew what she was here for, he didn't comment.

He looked back at earth. He still hadn't finished his goal. He couldn't let things fall apart. Although he knew why this person was here, but he couldn't give up at this moment.

"Seems like you're still unwilling..." The woman sighed. "Why don't you accept my goodwill? Are you really going to make me work for it?"

"Did your brother agree to this?" Ezekiel asked.

"He did." The woman laughed as she tossed a small crystal towards Ezekiel.

Ezekiel caught the Crystal, his expressions getting solemn. But still, his eyes contained resistance. He wasn't going to end this here.

Gabriel didn't understand what they were talking about. So many things were unfamiliar to him and without knowing the past of these two, he couldn't grasp things clearly.

Although Ezekiel discussed various topics in his letter, he did not mention anything of this nature.

Although Ezekiel didn't say anything, the woman appeared to have received her answer already.

"If that's the case, then so be it." The smile on her face disappeared as she prepared for what was to come. However, before she could do anything, her expressions changed to a look of curiosity.

She looked in the distance, feeling a powerful presence that even surprised her.
