Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Gabriel walked through the long beautiful hallways. The walls were bright, as if they were made with something similar to gold.

Everything inside this palace was grand. The chandeliers hanging from the ceiling sparkled in the light, casting glimmering reflections on the floor.

The intricate details in the architecture were breathtaking, with every corner adorned with stunning sculptures and paintings.

However, wherever Gabriel passed through, things were destroyed. The statues were broken, the portraits were torn, and the bright walls turned darker.

It was as if the Palace before him, and the palace behind him were completely different places. One was heavenly grandeur while the other was hell.

Occasionally, he came across the guards. However, he didn't slow down. In his trail, there was only blood. He didn't feel bad for them. He was only filled with hate and anger for everything... Everything in this place was related to Caen... Everything had to be destroyed.

While walking through the hallway, Gabriel stopped before a giant door that looked different from others.

He pushed the door open, revealing a beautiful Royal Hall. The Royal Hall was completely empty. However, the main throne was still there, along with seats for guests and other gods.

Gabriel stepped inside the Royal Hall. This was the place where the strongest god was supposed to reside... This was the palace that belonged to Chaos once upon a time, passing down to his family after his disappearance.

In the past, there used to be a High Council of gods which took all important decisions related to the Realm of Gods. For more important decisions, they consulted the Ancestral Gods.

However, after the last great war, everything had changed. The previous High Council of Gods was destroyed. New High Gods came to their place. However, they didn't hold that much power in the realm of gods when it came to taking decisions.

Most of the decision making powers were held by Janus, who became the strongest being in the Realm of Gods. This was the Palace where all the important decisions were taken, right in this hall.

Gabriel walked to the center of the Royal Hall, which was surrounded by tall pillars adorned with precious gems.

There was only one portrait in the Royal Hall. It belonged to a man. The man appeared very handsome. He was donning ordinary attire, which was further covered by a dark robe.

Even though it was just a portrait, there was something about it that was different from the other portraits.

The man had no crowns or accessories, except one. There was a bracelet on his hand, which was covered with various gems.

This was the first time Gabriel was seeing the man. However, he didn't know why, but he felt as if he knew that person... It was a really strange feeling, that he couldn't understand.

He stepped closer to the portrait. He had heard a description about Janus, which convinced him that the man in the portrait wasn't Janus.

If anything, his description matched more with the man he heard so much about... The man that changed the landscape of the entire universe.... The first man who killed an Ancient God, before disappearing forever.

It was the portrait of the man that Ezekiel hated the most. It was also the portrait of the man that all the Beast Monarch held immense hatred for!

In fact, he had never heard any good things about this man! The only thing he had was strength, and nothing more.

Gabriel reached out his hand to tear off the portrait. However, he didn't know why, there was still a strange feeling that he couldn't understand.

His fingers touched the portrait, which was made from material that couldn't be found on earth.

He took a deep breath, before taking a step back. A pitch black Sword appeared in his hand.

With a single slash, he cut the portrait in two halves, watching it burn in dark flames of abyss.

As Gabriel left the Royal Hall, almost everything was caught in flames. Even the main throne had started burning in his dark flames of abyss.

The throne that Caen wanted to sit on, was burning in Gabriel's flames of hatred.

Gabriel went deeper in the Palace. There was still a lot to destroy... At the same time, he was hoping that he was going to come across Caen along the way.

Occasionally, he could hear the floor tremble, like there were constant earthquakes. He was convinced that it was because Ezekiel was fighting.

He wanted to end faster and go out to help him. He increased his speed of search.

After around ten minutes, he reaches another room. This time, the room was locked. The door of this room appeared even stronger than the door of the Throne Room.

However, even this door couldn't stop him.

Wondering what was being kept inside this room, Gabriel raised the sword that he received from Ezekiel.

With a single slash, he not only cut the barrier at the entrance of the door, but also sliced the door in two halves.

He kicked the broken door open and stepped inside, ready to face whatever lay ahead.

The room was dark and filled with an eerie silence. However, as soon as he stepped inside, the room lit up, sending someone's presence.

As the room brightened, Gabriel observed his surroundings. Strangely enough, he couldn't find anyone here. This place appeared like a garden, more than any secret room.

The only difference was that none of the flowers here could be seen anywhere else in the world.

There was another thing in this garden... A small pond was in the center of the garden.

Gabriel stepped closer to the pond, stopping barely a meter away. The water in the pond was crystal clear, so much so that it almost appeared as if there was no water in the pond.

There were also four unique fishes floating in the pond. However, strangely enough, only two of them were creating ripples as they swam.
