Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage-Novel



The Goddess of Water stepped closer to Gabriel, carrying a calm visage. 

If Gabriel didn't know better, he would've thought that she truly was a kind soul who could never scheme against anyone else! It was as if she didn't have the slightest ill intentions for anyone else in her heart. 

It made sense why she had managed to gain the praise of everyone else. With the way she carried herself, accompanied by her beauty and her talents, it was easy for her to become a City Lord. 

The Goddess of Water stopped before Gabriel. 

"I heard you answered my riddles?" she asked. 

'Yours?' Gabriel thought, but didn't react. 

He simply nodded, as he glanced at the son of Northern General and the girl on the other side of the Goddess of Water. 

Finally this woman was close to him. There was no need to waste any more time. 

"How did you know the answer to these? Did you come up with them yourself?" The woman asked. 

"The answer was given to me by an old friend," Gabriel answered. 

"Hah, so you cheated!" The son of the Northern General scoffed. "Just to get inside, you pretended to be smart by using borrowed answers?"

The young girl also rolled her eyes. 

The Goddess of Water frowned, as she gestured for the young man to stop mocking Gabriel. 

"Who is that friend? Can I meet him?" the woman asked. 

"I'm afraid my friend also wants to meet you and reminisce about the old times. Albeit, he's busy with something else. So I came here to help him."

"Reminisce?" The Goddess of Water asked, getting curious. "Do I know him? To think that I knew such a talent and didn't even know about it. Who is it?"

"This..." Gabriel revealed a little hesitation. "I can't tell you about it in front of everyone else. Can we talk in private?" 

"What nonsense are you spouting? Why can't you talk about him in the open?" The son of the Northern General exclaimed, thinking that Gabriel was using this as an excuse to get some alone time with the City Lord and to increase his reputation. 

Even the Daughter of Goddess of Water looked at Gabriel with a disgusted gaze. She could see that Gabriel was using the friend as an excuse to increase his reputation. How many people could claim that they talked to her mother in private after all!

If given an opportunity, everyone here would've been rushing to talk to her mother alone. 

Even the soldiers and the others were stunned at Gabriel's atrocious behavior. 

"You can tell here. I don't think I have a friend that I need to keep a secret." The Goddess of Water smiled beautifully, thinking the same as her daughter. 

She thought that Gabriel was taking this opportunity to try to flirt with her. 

"Are you sure? I don't know how the people here will react if they find out that you were friends with the Death Star that is responsible for so many lives lost?" Gabriel commented. 

As soon as the name was mentioned, almost everyone was stunned. Not many people knew about the past of the Goddess of Water, but almost everyone hated Karyk. 

"You're spouting nonsense!" The daughter of the Goddess of Water roared. She couldn't take someone trying to defame her mother. 

She didn't even think twice before she raised her sword, a layer of water surrounded which. However, to her surprise, before she could even move, a figure came out from her shadow. 

Deep blue flames surrounded her, sending her flying back. 

Her figure crashed on the distant wall, flying past the guards. 

"How can you forget an old friend that easily?" Gabriel asked, keeping his attention on the Goddess of Water as his disguise disappeared, revealing his true visage. 

The Goddess of Water had her pupils shrink in fear. 

Even the son of the Northern General, who has been arrogant all this time, took a step back in fear. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ _Fire

Gabriel's shadow became bigger and multiple Death Generals came out of the shadow. The guards who were monetarily frozen were slaughtered by the Death Generals while the Scholars were allowed to escape. 

The Scholar who had a conflict with Gabriel found his legs to be trembling in fear. Only he knew how he left the place, covered in sweat. He couldn't believe he was about to try to teach a lesson to the Death Star after the Soholar meeting. 

"I see you're putting my riddles to a good use here. It just feels good, right!?" Gabriel asked, as he reached out his hand, touching the fair cheeks of the Goddess of Water. 

The Goddess of Water was momentarily frozen but she soon came out of her daze. 

Her figure turned into water that fell to the ground. 

At the same time, outside the Mansion, the real Goddess of Water appeared. She used a special stone, and crushed it to open a portal to escape without leaving a trace. 

She also brought her daughter with her. As for the son of the Northern General, he was left behind. 

"Going somewhere?" Gabriel also appeared outside the Mansion. He created a spear of light in his left hand, and tossed it toward the spatial formation before it could activate. 

The aura of light destabilized the spatial formation. The Goddess of Water knew she had to act fast. She chanted a spell and a water shield enveloped her and her daughter as they leaped through the unstable portal. 

However, to her surprise, someone else also entered the portal with them. 

Gabriel followed after them. He didn't worry about the instability of the portal or what he was going to find on the other side. 

Initially, the Portal would've led to the Northern General's mansion or another secure place where the woman could feel safe. However, with the destabilization of the Spatial Postal, it was almost impossible for it to lead to the right destination! That left nothing for Gabriel to worry about. 

On the other side, a portal opened up and the Goddess of Water fell out with her daughter. 

Only a second after, Gabriel also stepped out, with his clean clothes fluttering with the wind.
