Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 1048: Welcome gift



In a faraway destination at the other end of the world, Karyk stepped out of the portal.

Once again, he saw someone in the distance. It was Gabriel, once again looking in the other direction, only having his back toward him.

"Is it another trap?" Karyk thought as he stepped towards the figure in the distance. To his surprise, the figure in the distance did react to the sound of his footsteps unlike the shadow before.

Gabriel, standing in the distance slowly turned around, gazing at the person who had just arrived. Although it was an unexpected arrival, he didn't look shocked.

There was no sense of happiness in his eyes, only carrying a familiar yet unfamiliar gaze. "Why are you standing here alone?" Karyk asked, looking at his surroundings. This definitely wasn't a place where one came if they simply wanted to take a walk.

As far as his eyes could see, there were only tombstones. He didn't even count them but he could roughly estimate them to be in tens of millions.

In the middle of the Kingdom of graves, Gabriel was standing. Karyk could even feel that Gabriel was the only person here.

Karyk stepped forward, only to come to a sudden halt as multiple magic circles appeared all around him, all of them being fully changed.

It was as if all of them were ready to attack, and each of these attacks contained more power than even the strength of the previous explosion combined.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"What do you think you are doing?" Karyk asked, not even forming any protective shield around him. His face was weary as he was injured, but even then he didn't think about protecting himself.

Gabriel didn't appear to have any hesitation in his eyes. Without even answering, he activated the hundreds of magic circles that had surrounded Karyk from all sides.

At once, all magic circles that appeared to be fully charged shot out, all attacking Karyk. It was as if hundreds of previous explosions were condensed to a small space where Karyk was standing.

The world seemed to freeze for a moment as the sheer power of the barrage of magical attacks was unleashed.

The ground beneath Karyk's feet shattered and exploded into fragments. Karyk's silhouette was barely visible through the blinding flashes of light and the deafening roars of the attacks.

Yet, despite the overwhelming onslaught, Karyk did not fall. His eyes, though weary, were completely calm as the golden words started circling around her.

The devoured worldly laws were protecting him again. However, as he hadn't recovered her, even the worldly laws weren't at their full strength.

Karyk's body, though battered, stood resilient against the wave of destruction.

After what felt like an eternity, the attacks finally stopped after exhausting their near infinite energy that they had gathered from this world.

With the blinding barrage of attacks disappearing, Karyk's figure finally came into sight, standing in the middle of the crater where a lot of tombstones around him had completely disintegrated.

"I was right. You have grown stronger," Karyk said, patting his shoulder where his clothes were still smoking a little.

Not waiting for a response, he continued, "It seems I was right about something else as well. The destruction of the mountain and the clone was waiting for me? What a grand welcome."

Even though he was attacked, Karyk didn't counter. He was too exhausted to take such small things into his heart.

He simply walked closer to Karyk while saying, "I am not here to fight. I just want to see Zena and others one last time before I leave."

He placed his hand on Gabriel's shoulder who simply slapped his hand away.

Gabriel still couldn't believe just what kind of monster Karyk had become. Even though he had surpassed the limits of this universe, reaching the same level of strength as the false angels used to possess, he still couldn't hurt Karyk.

Then again, he was the person who had devoured the entire universe centuries ago.

Was surpassing the limits of this universe enough to hurt a monster like this? He didn't know that not even a year had passed for Karyk from the moment he devoured the universe.

"I suppose you sent her to another safer world? Just tell me the location. I won't even come in front of her. I will just see her and leave," Karyk said, not minding getting his hand slapped. Still, even he could feel that Gabriel was treating him in a very hostile manner. Then again, even he didn't feel the same level of affection as he felt before.

Even though only a few years had passed but with so many memories in his head, there were only a few significant emotions he could recall.

He couldn't protect all his memories and emotions. If anything, he was surprised that he even maintained his sanity. It had already been a long time since he heard a voice in his head.

He didn't even have time to play at home in this universe, even though he was a god of this world now.

He had a lot of things to do outside this universe as his world view had widened. He still wanted to crush the Angels, not knowing full well now strong they actually were.

"Why do you have to just see her? You can also talk to her. It doesn't matter anymore," Gabriel said as he started walking away.

"Where is she?" Karyk asked, watching Gabriel leave after exhausting all his strength. He even appeared a little disappointed.

"She is right behind you, watching everything," Gabriel answered. "The others are also there, including your friends. I'm sure they would have a lot to say to you, if only you could listen."

"Behind me?" Confused, Karyk turned around. Despite turning around, he couldn't find anyone behind him. There was literally nothing there.

"Can you stop wasting my time? I'm really not in the mood." Karyk asked, his time getting louder.

"Lower your head," Gabriel's voice came in response.
