Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Karyk slowly removed the mask, first revealing his smile. And then, when he removed the disguise on his eyes, the General received the greatest shock of his life.

"You aren't one of us!" The General exclaimed, realising that he had fallen into a trap. This city had already fallen to the enemies and no one realised it.

"How dare you people step within this pure land!" The General exclaimed, his aura flaring up. Even when he faced against two people, he didn't lose his trust in his own skills.

Even before, he had managed to leave when fighting the Puppet Master. He was sure that if he wanted to leave, not even the Gods could stop him.

He raised his sword, swinging it towards Karyk. In the similar movement, he cast another attack, this time on the Puppet Master.

In the closed space, his attack became even more dangerous. However, the real purpose of the General wasn't to kill these two. He wasn't naive enough to think he could easily kill them.

He didn't even know how many of them were in this city. His first aim was to distract them so he could escape. It was more important to deliver this information than it was to face these people.

The Puppet Master swiftly dodged the General's sword, his movements fluid and precise. Karyk, on the other hand, calmly raised his hand, creating a barrier that effortlessly deflected the incoming attack.

Had already reached near the window. Bringing his arms before his face, he jumped towards the window, intending to leave this place.

As he leaped through the shattered glass, shards glittering in the moonlight. The General was out of the mansion. Unfortunately, even as he was mid-air, he felt some threads wrap around his body, chaining him.

He was pulled back inside the mansion, crashing against the wall.

"I won't allow you to leave a second time. There shall be no obstructions in her path!" The Puppet Master spoke, looking at the General.

The General cut the invisible threads, freeing himself. However, his expressions had become even darker.

"Since you came here to meet the City Lord, I'll make sure you meet the City Lord." Karyk stepped towards the General.

All Elzerians soldiers were his enemies. They were the soldiers that were going to become a part of the invading army. Letting one escape was no different than creating future trouble for him, since the changes of this city were also going to be exposed.

At first, he had thought that he was going to have the Puppet Master control him. However, he knew that the Puppet Master was more loyal towards the woman than he was to him.

Giving such a powerful weapon to the Puppet Master was no different than losing it forever. Instead, he thought of another plan.

"Give my greetings to the City Lord." Karyk stopped before the General, an aura sword appearing in his right hand. He merged that aura sword with everything that he had used to kill a pureblood Elzerian.

"You think you can scare me with that? Even your masters can't kill me! We are the superior species! We are the True Immortals!"

The General gritted his teeth, as he spoke. His eyes carried the same old arrogance as if he looked down on everyone before him.

"Instead, I shall be the one killing you inferiors!" He lunged at Karyk once again, his sword slashing through the air with incredible speed.

Karyk gracefully dodged each strike, his movements almost dance-like. He seemed to anticipate the General's every move, effortlessly evading his attacks.

Meanwhile, the Puppet Master observed with a calm demeanour, his eyes filled with a mix of curiosity. He wanted to see just what gave Karyk the confidence to face a pure blood Elzerian, since they couldn't be killed.

Even the Puppet Master couldn't kill a pure blood. He had only barely managed to control his mind in the past, but now that he was more alert, it became even harder for him to repeat that feat.

Karyk dodged the attack of the General by simply making slight adjustments to his position. As the General missed and went past him, Karyk appeared behind him.

He grabbed the General by the hair, smashing his face on the hard concrete floor. Just the impact of the smash alone was so powerful that the entire floor broke, sending shards of concrete flying in all directions.

The General groaned in pain, but Karyk knew that it was nothing for this guy. The Elzerians had a healing speed that was comparable to him, if not faster.

Within seconds, the General's face healed. His arrogant laughter echoed in the entire hall.

With a swift and precise movement, the General turned, grabbing Karyk's wrist, trying to rip his arms off. However, before he could continue, he saw his hand flying high, blood spraying in all directions.

He couldn't even believe how fast it happened. He had only touched Karyk and now his hand was gone.

As he was still in shock, the same happened to his other hand.

His entire face was covered in his own blood as Karyk grabbed him by his throat, smashing him against a wall.

"We can't have you die without hands. I guess I'll wait." Karyk smiled, watching the General's hands grow again. Within a few minutes, he was perfectly fine again.

"No matter what you do, you can't kill us! We're the true Immortals. We walk this path under the guidance of the Divine!" The General spoke, his bloody teeth in full sight, making his face appear gruesome.

"It doesn't matter. If your 'Divine' stands in my path, I'll crush him as well." Karyk spoke, placing the tip of his sword on the General's chest.

"Hahaha!" The General laughed like a maniac. "You can't even kill me, a mere footsoldier of the Divine Beings! And you talk about destroying them?! Hahahaha!"

"I would've kept you alive to see that future. Unfortunately, I don't like keeping snakes as pets." Karyk said as he slowly slid the sword in the man's chest. "As for those Divine Beings…"
