Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

"If I don't hear a good enough reason for you killing them, things will get bad," Karyk, although having some goodwill for Gabriel, didn't care about Gabriel as much as he did for his sister.

Gabriel was created from a fragment of his soul. For Karyk, he was just as much a part of his family as his own sister, but not enough to be allowed to take his people from him.

He had heard that Gabriel was dead, but not only was he alive, but he returned to do something like this?

"What if I don't answer?" Gabriel asked, stepping closer to Karyk. Both his hands remained behind his back, from which he gestured to the Princess and Ezekiel to get ready to attack.

He stepped merely half a master away from Karyk, looking in his eyes.

"Then I'll have to take back the fragment of soul that I granted you. Someone like you won't deserve a life," Karyk spoke, his expression stern.

He truly didn't want Gabriel to disappear. Because of being associated with him since birth, Gabriel had lost so many things in life. Because of his Element, Gabriel was made to become the enemy of his world. His friends had turned into his enemies, leaving him alone until he created a new life for himself.

Although Gabriel was his second life, and a means to an end that wasn't supposed to become an independent life, but after this happened, Karyk had started thinking of him as a different life form who had suffered for him. For that, he even wanted to compensate Gabriel.

He wanted to give Gabriel the happiness and family that he had lost. He wanted Gabriel to live an ordinary life.

That's also why he had gone with the Generals, taking all the risks while sending his army to protect Gabriel. If anything was putting their life on the line for his revenge, he wanted it to be him and not Gabriel.

Unfortunately, things had started deteriorating from the moment they had separated. And now Gabriel felt completely unrecognizable.

He didn't know what Gabriel went through as their soul connection was broken the moment he entered the Ancestral Temple. But no matter what, he couldn't forgive Gabriel for what he did.

Even now, he held himself back because he wanted Gabriel to give him a reason. In some corners of his heart, he still hoped that Gabriel had a valid reason and this wasn't intentional.

"The reason? It's because of you. It's all because of you!" Gabriel yelled, anger flashing in his eyes. "You think I wanted things to end up like this? You think I wanted to lose my sister and my world?"

" I didn't have the strength to stop it but you... You could've done something! You could've saved them! Instead, you let it happen! Instead, you let the killer roam free! Instead, you worked with our enemies as if they were your friends!".The more he said, the louder his voice became.

"I can never forgive you for what you did! Although Caen was the weapon who took everything from me, you are just as big a culprit!"

Tears welled up in Gabriel's eyes as he struggled to find the right words.

"If I've lost everything, why should you have anything left? I will take everything from you! Just like everything was taken from me! I'll make you end up with nothing, not even your life!"

Hearing Gabriel's words, Karyk was taken aback. He could understand a lot of things from Gabriel's words. It was only now that he realized what was wrong.

This was their first time meeting after separation, so Gabriel didn't know that their sister and the Holy Priestess of Summoning were brought back to life by him. In Gabriel's eyes, he was the culprit. Just like Gabriel was hurt, he wanted to hurt Karyk.

Although Karyk was still in pain over the loss of his undead allies that had been with him for thousands of years, he couldn't blame Gabriel for it either.

Karyk let out a tired sigh as he turned around, showing his back to Gabriel. "Come with me. I have something to show you."

He gestured towards Aliac, who understood what he meant. Gabriel couldn't be convinced with just words. Hence he wanted Gabriel to see everyone safe and alive with his own eyes.

Aliac opened the portal to the Central World, understanding that it was all because of a misunderstanding. "We can return."

Once the portal to the Central World opened, Aliac entered first to stabilize the Portal from the other side.

Karyk looked at the portal, waiting for it to be stabilized.

Meanwhile, Gabriel pulled out a dagger behind him as he stepped towards Karyk. For him, this was the perfect opportunity to finish the mission. However, before he could attack, he felt a hand grab his wrist, stopping him from using the dagger.

Gabriel glared at the woman who had stopped him, sending a Mental Transmission. "What do you think you're doing?"

"You can't kill him yet! Can't you see he's taking us to the Central World? Once we're there, we both can get what we want. Moreover, he's still trusting you. You can kill him at any time!" the Princess informed Gabriel, firmly keeping his knife behind his back.

After the portal was finished, Karyk turned around to find the hooded woman sticking close to Gabriel. He couldn't help but shake his hands, finding their intimacy quite telling.

"It looks like the other girl is going to be quite disappointed to find that he already has another woman," he softly muttered, but Gabriel's love life wasn't his concern.

He stepped inside the portal after telling Gabriel to follow him inside if he wanted to get to the truth.

Once Karyk disappeared inside the portal, Gabriel pushed the Princess aside. "Next time, don't you dare interfere with my matters!"

The dagger disappeared in his hands while Gabriel also entered the portal. Although there was a slight delay, for him, the outcome was still the same.

The Princess glared, watching Gabriel disappear. 'Just wait until your use is over! Then I'll show you what it means to hit me!'

She also entered the Portal, followed by Ezekiel. After such a long wait, he was finally able to enter the Central World.
