Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

He could fool them into believing that he needed to go to the City to be free of this restriction. The basis of the lie was the truth. "You were strong enough to defeat them? Do you want me to believe such stories?" the Mother Whale scoffed in response. "What proof do you have?"

"I don't have much of a proof, but I do have something that might make you believe me."

Karyk started taking off his clothes that he had tied around his wound to keep them hidden. This was the wound he received when he was fighting the Archangel. It wasn't just the wound that was still left on his body. But there was also the essence of the Archangel that was mixed in that attack. So some traces of that were present as well. "This is the wound I received in the battle. If you observe it closely, I am certain you can feel a trace of the kind of existence I was fighting."

The Mother Whale could not feel anything clearly from such a distance. All she could see was a wound. "Fine. I will check. But if it isn't enough to prove your words, then you can only return and never approach my son again!"

Karyk wondered if the Mother Whale was strong enough to feel this essence from a distance. Because of the giant bodies of the two Whales, they were very far from each other. He thought about jumping in the water to approach her, but to his surprise, he noticed that her body started shining in the next moment. The Mother Whale's body started shrinking, until it was even smaller than the Child Whale. And soon, she transformed into a human form entirely. The Mother Whale looked just like a woman in this form. Looking at her, no one could guess that she was a Giant Whale instead of a human from earth. Her long black hair came down to her waist, covering her butt. But from the front, everything was visible. As a Whale, she had no concept of clothes. So even in the human form, she did not wear any. The Mother Whale stepped forward on the water, as her breasts glistened in the sunlight. Gracefully, she extended her hand towards the Child Whale, patting him lightly. After that, she jumped and landed gracefully on the back of her child. She walked forward and stood right before Karyk. If it was anyone else, they would have been charmed by her well endowed human form, but Karyk looked at her face, his gaze never wandering even once. The woman reached out her hand and carefully touched the wound on his body. However, as soon as she touched the wound, she felt her heartbeat stop. For the first time, panic appeared on her face as she stepped back in horror, falling on he butt. "W-what was that?!"

Just from the essence, she could feel how horrifying the person was who caused this wound. She had thought that the Children of Heaven were strong and dangerous. But the essence of this wound was something entirely different. It was like a horrifying monster, looking back from the Abyss. It had been a long time since the wound was made, and most of the essence of the attack had dispersed. But even then, it was so horrifying. She gazed at her finger, noticing that her flesh had decayed a little just from coming in contact with the trade of essence. "H-how are you still alive after going against that kind of existence?!" she asked, not carrying any dignity that she did in the past. "I wonder." Karyk vaguely answered. Even he did not remember how the battle ended. All he remembered was that he was fighting to the best of his abilities while the world around them was being destroyed. The next time he opened his eyes, he was in this godforsaken world. The sights and sounds of this new world were unfamiliar to him, and yet there was something in the air that soothed his weary soul. It was as if he had returned to his home after a long time. "Was that the kind of existence you could face and survive before you came here?" The Mother Whale asked, after calming her heart. "I did not come here. It would be more accurate to say that I fell here, after that world was destroyed in our fight. All I want is to find a way to return."

"And for that, I need to understand what this world is like, and why it is stopping my abilities. Once I am able to use them, I can help you get rid of your enemies. After that, I can leave."

"That way, we both get what we want."

He stepped forward and reached out his hand towards the woman. "As I said before, I can offer you freedom. In exchange, what I want is the same... Freedom."

The woman looked at his hands..

At first, she thought he was a weakling who just wanted to use them, but she could see that wasn't the case. He was a dangerous existence. No, she was more than dangerous. If the people who came here were strong and called the Children of Heaven, then this man was not like them.

He was not in their league. If they were the Children of Heaven, then he was...

"The Heaven." The Mother Whale mumbled under her breath. "Did you say something?" Karyk asked, not hearing clearly. "Nothing. I said that I will do anything in my abilities to help you. As long as you can get rid of them, it doesn't matter what I have to do!"

The woman grabbed Karyk's hand who helped him stand up. "That was all I needed."

Karyk did not know why this woman hated the so-called Children of Heaven. But it was the best for him. Because of their hatred, he had something to trade. He finally had an opportunity to find out more about this strangely familiar world.
