Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 914: The Child that lived

The forgotten prince... It was the title given to a newborn child by the Archangels. It was a child that was born to die, yet survived. It was a child who wasn't supposed to live. The Archangels were beings that could destroy worlds with a wave of their hand. They were the beings that had long surpassed the realm of gods. They were primordial beings, whose origins were unknown. Yet, there was someone that the Archangels had failed to kill. And that person was the forgotten prince. The Empress didn't know why the Archangels called that child the Forgotten Prince. She didn't even know why they wanted to kill him so badly. All she knew was that they were obsessed with the death of the child. To kill him, the Archangels had destroyed multiple higher worlds, only to discover that the child was brought to the world known as the Celestial World, ruled by the Celestial Dynasty. Even though the Archangels were supreme beings, they still sent an envoy to ask for the child to be returned. However, the foolish Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty refused to hand over the child. The arrogant Emperor thought that he could survive, just because the Archangels couldn't personally descend to this world. His arrogance soon became his downfall as the invasion of the world began. The Archangels didn't come down. They didn't need to in the first place. They simply sent a species that was their slave... A species whose world the Archangels had destroyed. "Is it because we destroyed your world that you have intentionally been making mistakes to become an obstruction for us?' the statue asked. Even though it was just the voice of an Archangel who hadn't descended, the Empress still felt a chill. Her legs turned weak as she dropped to her knees. "We would never dare!" she screamed in fear, worried that they might be misunderstood. "Becoming your slave has been our biggest blessing! You destroyed our world and killed those who opposed it, but you also blessed those who surrendered!"

"We have always been loyal to you! We can never dare to betray our lord!" the Empress stated. She truly didn't care about the destruction of their world. In fact, she didn't even remember something that happened thousands of years ago. She wasn't born at that time. She had only heard about stories of that time, and in all those stories, the Archangels were glorified!

Even her ancestors knew that the Archangels were beings that they could never afford to offend again. They weren't even worth being called insects before those great beings. That's why they had been trying their hardest to please the Archangels. Unfortunately, until now, they hadn't been able to do that.

Even when they destroyed the Celestial Dynasty, they came to find out that the Emperor had sent the child to some unknown realm, all to screw them over. The Celestial Emperor didn't have any relation to the Forgotten Prince. He was just someone who had been handed over the child that the Archangels were after. At first, he didn't take the Archangels seriously, mostly because of his sense of justice and arrogance. He thought that since the Archangels couldn't descend, they couldn't do anything other than talk big through their envoys. Unfortunately, the moment the invasion began, it was a complete slaughter. Before he could come to his senses, half his Empire had been slaughtered. In his rage, he was more willing to kill the child in an unknown realm, then to hand him over to the people who killed his citizens. Unfortunately, he couldn't kill the child, no matter how hard he tried. As the Elzeiran Armies drew closer to the Royal City, he panicked that they might get what they wanted, despite taking everything from him. Since he couldn't kill the child, he sent the child to an unknown realm, believing that if the Archangels couldn't find him, it was somewhat of a revenge for him. "You have failed me repeatedly. You didn't catch him, even when he was right before your eyes," the Statue's voice echoed in the Empress' mind, making her feel like she might be crazy. "Right before me? In our world...?" The Empress came to a realization. There were only two people who had come to this world and were in front of her. One was Gabriel, and the other was Karyk. It was clear that one of them was the child that the Archangels called the Forgotten Prince!

She couldn't believe it! Their Target was right before them, yet they couldn't do anything. If he could have captured him when he came to the Royal City last time, they could have already finished the task, without any need to invade any other world!

If they had done that, then her brother wouldn't have died!

"One more opportunity!" The Elzeiran Empress stated. "Just one more chance! I'll drag the forgotten Prince to you!" Nôv(el)B\\jnn

She realized that she had made a mistake. It was understandable why the Archangels were angry. She couldn't afford their anger. She still needed their blessing to become stronger. The Ruler of the Elzeiran Empire could become many times stronger after ascending to the throne, all because of the blessing. She didn't have that blessing. If she didn't receive it, she couldn't become stronger. She was going to be the weakest ruler of the Elzeiran Dynasty in history. "It is too late. You have disappointed us far too many times. We have seen your incompetence!" the statue stated. "We will send someone else to handle the matters from now on!"

The statue closed its eyes and the room returned to silence once again. The conversation had ended. The Elzeiran Empress blankly stared at the statue. Had they really lost the favor? Did she become the biggest sinner in the history of her clan?

She didn't know who was going to be sent here. But she did know that it was going to take time!

"I will capture him before someone arrives!"

She knew she had only one way to regain the favor. Before someone was sent here to take the lead, she had to catch the Forgotten Prince!

"I will bring him to your feet!" she stated as she bowed before the statue. "Even if I have to sacrifice everyone!"
