Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 926: You are just a gift

There existed a city that was completely empty. All the Citizens had long been killed, yet this city was in the middle of a storm. On one side, the city was connected to the Land of Chaos. On the other side, the city was connected to the chaotic sea where the sea monsters were constantly attacking the border wall. And on the third side, there stood the strongest people in the Elzeiran Dynasty. Right next to the Empress, there were a few Shadow Guards. All the remaining shadow guards had long disappeared, completely erasing their presence to make it impossible to find them.

Their strength was truly something beyond the realm of gods. Their abilities were divine that came with the blood provided by the Archangels. And now, that same blood was a part of Gabriel. With absorbing the blood, Gabriel also felt this same divine power. It was different from what he had before, yet it felt awfully familiar. Unlike the Pureblood Elzeirans, he didn't feel like his abilities were linked to the Archangels. Still, he could use them all. No... He had surpassed all the Pureblood Elzeirans. He could do everything that they could do, but better. If it was his old self, he wasn't sure if he could face them all. He couldn't even feel their presence in the past. But now, even when they erased their presence, he could still feel them. A Shadow Guard appeared behind Gabriel, still invisible. The dark sky made it even easier for them to hide. It was as if they didn't exist in this realm, but in a completely different realm. "So you won't surrender?" The Leader of the Shadow Guards asked, standing next to the Empress. Gabriel conjured a sword as he turned around. The beautiful blade of his sword flashed in the darkness. Blood splattered everywhere as a groan resounded. The blood stained Gabriel's pristine clothes as well as his Sword. Next to him, the invisible shadow guard became visible, his eyes still in disbelief as his head rolled sideways. He couldn't say anything, but his eyes made his question clear. If he could ask, he would have asked only one question. How? How did Gabriel know his position? The Shadow Guards hadn't released any killing intent either. They were told to not kill the young man. Instead, they only wanted to cut his hands and feet. So no killing intent should have been present. So how were they detected? Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Not just the dying Shadow Guard, but even the Empress had the same question. They had even distracted Gabriel with conversation so the hidden shadow guards could take him out. But even with distraction, he had managed to kill one? It would have been seen as an accident if Gabriel had just killed one Shadow Guard. But instead, this was just the beginning. It was the beginning of a long nightmare as Gabriel disappeared. In the darkness, only the blood could be seen, flying from place to place. And this blood didn't belong to Gabriel. One after another, all the hidden shadow guards were being targeted. And unlike Karyk, Gabriel didn't have to worry about getting exhausted. With his evolution, this world had become his own territory. He was the ruler of this place and no one else. He was the only Overlord here. Every corner of the land belonged to him, his power was absolute. Even the Empress couldn't detect Gabriel when he disappeared. She had the purest Bloodline in Elzeira. So how could Gabriel use their abilities? As the origin of this Bloodline, how could she not detect him? She didn't understand what was happening. What was this man? How was he capable of doing that? Not long ago, he had to run from the Royal City! They could kill him easily if they used the Shadow Guards. But now, this man was like a butcher... An unseen beast who was devouring every threat in his path. Soon, Gabriel once again appeared, right where he was previously standing. But this time, his clothes were completely stained with blood. His clothes had turned completely red. All the Shadow Guards that were hidden in the darkness had died. Their bodies were falling from the sky, one after another. Many of those bodies  fell inside the city. Looking at those bodies, Gabriel didn't look happy. "I guess he would be quite upset that I didn't leave the bodies intact for him. To make up for it, I can only give him your complete body."

He raised his bloody sword, pointing it at the Leader of the Shadow Guards. Amongst all the Pureblood Elzeirans in this world, the Leader of the Shadow Guards was currently the strongest after the Emperor died. "The Forgotten Prince isn't half bad. No wonder they want you..." The Leader of the Shadow Guards stepped forward. "You have even managed to surprise me."

"But dear Karyk, if you think that this is enough to help you, then you are wrong. Because unlike them, I do have the blessing of the divine!"

His aura flared, unlike any Pureblood Elzeiran. No, it was something beyond that. Even the world itself was trembling as soon as the aura was released. It was the blessing of Archangels. Most people thought that only the Emperor had received one. But only a few knew that the Leader of the Shadow Guards was another existence that had this blessing. The blessing allowed the person to draw out the power of an Archangel, at the cost of their life! Even if one sacrificed their entire life, they could only draw out a fraction of their power. But even one percent of their power was enough to destroy multiple worlds. "Karyk?" Gabriel smiled, not appearing even the slightest intimidated. He did feel a little disgusted for some reason. This aura... He felt like he didn't like it. It was an innate hate that even he couldn't understand. "I'm afraid you are confusing me with my Elder Brother. You are just a small gift for that brother of mine. A gift that I will make sure to wrap properly!"

Once again, Gabriel disappeared. And this time, the Leader of the Shadow Guards didn't stay behind. The sound of swords clashing resounded, space itself split apart with the impact.
