Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

As soon as the footsteps resounded, the entire space was sealed, making it impossible to use any Spatial Artefact that wasn't as strong as a God Tier Artefact at least.

Even the City of Abbadon, which was a Demigod Tier Numen, couldn't resist this restriction. No matter how good the City was in defense, but currently, even it was too weak for the person who had moved unhindered in the Upper Realm and the Nether Realm, even while being targeted by many stronger beings.

"You seem to be in a hurry to leave." Gabriel's voice responded in the room as the footsteps stopped.

Lambard's face was dark as he slowly turned around, stunned at how helpless he was.

"You!"

The Maid was also stunned to find Gabriel there. She finally realized that it was because of Gabriel that the barrier broke. She didn't believe Gabriel came here for anything good.

"I'll hold him back! Leave!" She suddenly exclaimed. Even if she had to sacrifice her life, she wanted Lambard to leave this place safely.

Before Lambard could even say anything, the maid brought two sharp daggers out and disappeared.

Within a blink of an eye, her figure appeared right behind Gabriel as she thrust the daggers toward the back of his neck.

"Huh?"

The daggers reached closer to Gabriel's body but just as they were about to touch him, the daggers froze in place. Even the maid, also found unable to move dark shackles came out of the group, trapping her!

Gabriel lazily turned around, gazing at the young maid who was pulled to her knees by the shackles.

"You're too naive. If I couldn't even protect myself from your weak attacks, you think so many people would've been after my life?"

Gabriel had no interest in the maid who only had a few Numens that were given to her by Lambard for her protection. She was too weak for him to pay any attention.

Lambard, on the other hand, was different since he had some nice items at least... Including one item that Gabriel was interested in.

Even though the Maid had asked him to escape while she kept Gabriel busy, but Lambard was still standing in the same place. He wasn't naive enough to think that the girl could stop Gabriel, who was Karyk's reincarnation.

"L-Lord Karyk..."

Seeing no other option, Lambard forced a smile on his face. He was sure that the Temple of Time was going to be here soon as soon as his people gave them this information. Until then, he just had to hold back Gabriel, keeping him distracted.

"Take me to the core of the City." Gabriel didn't waste any time at all since he could already guess what this guy was thinking.

He didn't waste a single moment of his time and forced Lambard to take him to the core of the City!

Lambard was slightly surprised to find out what Gabriel wanted but he had no other choice. He didn't resist at al). Instead, he took Gabriel with him to the depths of his mansion to a secret room.

This was the room where the core of the City was!

It was almost impossible to find the room unless one had great luck since the room kept changing its position. Only an extremely lucky person or the owner of the City could end up inside the room.

In fact, even Gabriel wasn't able to find the room. He could destroy the City and the core along with it, but finding the core was a completely different matter.

This was also the reason he came to this city in the first place. He wanted to take control of the City and to refine that, he needed to use his blood on the core of the City.

Lambard wanted to move as slowly as possible to delay Gabriel, but he didn't have the courage. He didn't want to risk his life like that, since Gabriel wasn't stupid to not realize what he wanted to do. At the time, he could only pray that the Temple of Time was going to be here before he could refine the City.

****

Back in the Royal City of Arecia, the spy that Lambard had planted was hastily running toward the Royal Palace, to deliver the message to the Temple of Time.

However, along the way, he was stopped by some members from the Temple of Time that were patrolling the City.

Finding him running in such haste toward the Royal Palace was somewhat suspicious. However, when they heard what the man had to say, all their expressions revealed shock!

"Karyk?! Do you know the consequences of lying to us?!" The member from the Temple of Time frowned, still finding it hard to believe a random person on the street when it came to Karyk's information.

He knew that if this information was a lie, not only was that person going to be killed, but even he could get punished.

"That's the information I received from Lord Lambard. He sounded somewhat panicked! Please deliver this information! Or else, it might be too late!" The spy exclaimed, breathing heavily since he had been running for quite some time.

"Fine!" The pale-faced guard placed his hands around the spy's neck before he disappeared.

He went straight to the Royal Palace where the second in command of the Temple of Time was staying. Since it was related to Karyk, no one other than the Commander could make a decision.

****

"He appeared?" The little boy who appeared to be somewhat sleepy sat up straight as he heard the news. His face revealed a little killing intent. "So he finally decided to show his trails!"

Avilia who was sitting like a prisoner in the main hall was also surprised to find out that Gabriel was nearby! She already knew where Lambard's City was. However, what she didn't understand was why Gabriel revealed his trace so suddenly!

There was only one day left before her death sentence. For him to show up so suddenly, she couldn't help but wonder if he had returned to save her.

The little boy stood up. Even though he wasn't certain if the news was true or not, but even if there was a slight chance, he had to make sure.

He called all his men, and also informed all the Churches to move out!

Even though they had fortified the City, but that didn't mean they couldn't leave.

Moreover, he didn't worry that Gabriel was going to attack the City when they left. The barrier couldn't be broken in such a short time. If Gabriel attacked the City in their absence, they could return in an instant!

No matter what, the City was safe! As for the coming battle with Gabriel, that was inevitable.
