Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage-Novel

After a long and peaceful sleep, Gabriel finally looked as if he was coming out of his deep sleep, having slept for close to twelve hours.

Noticing Gabriel waking up, Novius finally changed the time in this world to dawn. It was as if the sun was waking up at the same time as Gabriel.

Gabriel opened his eyes, feeling the beautiful weathering. The winds were slightly cold but not too cold, giving a particularly good feeling.

"Good morning, young man."

Gabriel had just opened his eyes when he was greeted by Novius and Cylix. "Enough sleeping now. Get up. We have a lot to cover today."

Gabriel sat up, agreeing. He didn't come here to sleep. He had to learn... Learn everything he could so he could get to the hundredth floor.

After giving him a few minutes to get ready, Cylix and Novius began his last schedule of training finally.

Twenty Minutes Later

Gabriel was ready for his training. However, instead of the usual, where only one person accompanied him during training, both of them stood before him as if they were going to stay there.

"We've already taught you most of our spells. Now only three spells are left for you to learn!" Cylix informed Gabriel. "The three spells that we haven't taught anyone...'

"What three spells...?" Gabriel inquired. If there were only three spells left to learn, he could feel that he was really close to the end of his training session. At best, it was going to be two or three days before he had to seriously fight Cylix and Novius.

"First spell belongs to me and the Element of Darkness," Novius answered. "It's a High Grade spell, and it will place a lot of burden on your soul. It might even take a heavy toll on you, but I can promise you that it'll be worth it..."

Cylix further stated, "The Second Spell belongs to me and the Element of Light. It's also a High Grade Spell and should help you a lot in what's to come."

"And the third spell?" Out of the three spells that he was here to learn, one belonged to each of them. That left one...

"The Third Spell is something that no individual person can master in this World... It's a spell that a Mage of Light can't cast..." Cylix stated as if he was talking about a really simple yet it was quite surprising for Gabriel. A spell that no Individual Mage could cast?

Did that mean the spell was so exhausting that it needed the strength of two people to cast? Or was it something else? If it was the former, could he even cast it himself?

Even though he was a Holy Priest of Necromancy, he was still only a Mid-Tier Mage in Spiritual Strength. Casting a High Tier Spell in itself was quite a lot for him at this point in time.

Novius smirked, noticing the confused expressions of Gabriel. "Don't worry about it. When we said no individual mage can cast it, that didn't include you. You are an exception to this case."

Cylix nodded. "The Third Spell is something that we created together. It's not a spell of Light, but it's also not a spell of Darkness. If anything, it's a spell of both and possibly the only spell in the World which uses two elements."

"We both needed to cast that spell together for it to work, using both our elements but you..." He glanced at the back of Gabriel's left hand, seeing his two Elemental Marks right next to each other. "You are possibly the only exception in the World who won't need the help of any other person for this."

"You can use both, Darkness and Light. You should be able to cast this spell alone, but it won't be easy even for you. We haven't classified that spell, but if we were to, that spell would most probably be considered half step above a High Tier Spell."

"You already know how much burden a High Tier Spell places on your soul? The burden of this spell would only be more. That's why we'll deal with it in the end."

After giving Gabriel some briefing on what he was to learn next, the two founders started his training once again.

Novius took the lead while Cylix stepped back. Gabriel was going to learn the High-Grade Spell of Darkness first.

Novius raised his right hand toward Gabriel, making a white scroll appear on his hand. "This scroll has everything you need to learn about the spell. Go through the basics, and then I'll teach you what the scroll doesn't mention to make it easier for you."

Gabriel took the scroll from the man's hands and opened it. The description of the spell was somewhat similar to how spells were described in his Grimoire, making them easier to understand.

Gabriel read the name on the top of the Spell.

"Paradise of Darkness?" He repeated the name of the spell, finding it quite fascinating. The name didn't make the spell feel like an offensive spell. However, it was only when he went through the spell that he realized what it truly was. This spell... It was not even close to what he was thinking.

The spell was so good that he was sure it would've been kept in treasures at the Academy, only being shown to the greatest of their students.

Novius observed the impressed expressions of Gabriel, feeling quite pleased. The expressions of Gabriel were giving him some validation which made him happy.

He glanced back at his friend, showing off a smug look.

"Wait until you see mine! It'll be even better!" Cylix yelled, reminding Gabriel as he scoffed.

Even the two friends couldn't ignore the friendly competitive spirit.

Gabriel sat down on the ground and started going through the description of the spell, trying to understand it on his own first before taking any help.

He had only recently awakened the element of Darkness, and he was still trying to test its limit. If anything, this spell was a perfect tool to see just how capable this element of Darkness was. He also wondered just how intense this spell was going to become if he used the Ancestral Staff of Darkness with it.

After half an hour of trying to learn the spell, he finally closed the scroll again. He had memorized each and every word written inside the scroll.

He returned the scroll to Novius.

While Novius was waiting for Gabriel to ask him questions regarding this spell that he didn't understand, Gabriel surprised him by already starting to cast that spell.

"He learned already?!" Novius frowned, taken aback.
