Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

The majestic room was filled with an oppressive power that was enough to kill an ordinary person before they could even take a single step inside the room.

Thousands of black shackles were coming out of the wall, filled with heavenly laws. All those shackles had only one purpose! Those mysterious shackles were keeping someone imprisoned in the middle of the room.

If one was to see just how much precaution was taken to keep one person suppressed, even a Holy Lord would've been shocked!

'This place...' When Gabriel entered the tomb, he had no idea what this tomb was going to be. However, he never expected to see what he saw! The tomb... It wasn't a tomb at all! Instead, it was a Prison!

That also made sense as to why it was so hard to get to the tomb inside the valley even for a Holy Lord! It was because the owner of the tomb didn't want anyone to reach this place!

Gabriel still didn't understand where these keys came from if the creator of the tomb didn't want anyone to come to this place, but there was no way for him to find an answer.

The person who was suppressed in the core of the tomb was clearly a woman. Her face was already pale. Her hair was a beautiful shade of silver but since her head was lower in weakness, Gabriel couldn't see her face!

Despite being unable to see her face, for some reason, Gabriel felt as if that person's figure was familiar.

The person was dressed in a green gown which was torn at places as if the woman had furiously fought with everything on the line before being caught and trapped here!

The clothes were still covered in blood but Gabriel couldn't see any wounds. It was as if despite the suppression of this place, all the wounds of the woman had healed!

"Here to try killing me again? Even if it's you, you can't kill me, no matter how many times you try." The woman's weak voice echoed in the room. Her voice was weak yet it was filled with anger and hatred. For some reason, there was a bit of longing and sadness hidden in her voice as well.

She didn't even open her eyes but the way she talked, it was as if she thought Gabriel was someone she knew.

"Who are you?" Gabriel asked. Now that the woman already knew he was here, there was no need to hide! Moreover, the woman was suppressed so he didn't feel much danger.

The woman slowly raised her head, revealing her pale yet beautiful face. It took her some effort to even open her eyes in a weak condition like that.

As soon as Gabriel saw her face, he was even more shocked. The beautiful green eyes of the woman and that familiar face... He could never forget it! He had seen that face in one of his dreams before! The only difference was the colour of the hair! The one he saw in his dream didn't have silver hair!

Shocked, Gabriel hastily looked toward the hand of the woman to see if she really was the same person.

On the back of the woman's hand, Gabriel saw a beautiful green mark... The Mark of Nature. And it wasn't just any ordinary Mark that could be inherited by a Holy Priest!

"Goddess of Nature?" Gabriel asked, unable to believe himself that the woman before her was the Goddess of Nature!

'Why is she imprisoned here? Who could be strong enough to imprison her here for thousands of years? And why?'

There were many questions in Gabriel's head. He didn't know the Goddess of Nature well enough outside of that one dream! In his dream, he had even interacted with the Goddess of Nature!

'If I remember correctly, that dream was more like the past of Karyk! She and Karyk were friends, however, her brother had attacked and insulted Karyk's family in his arrogance, because of which he killed her brother!'

' It was only when she attacked Karyk that the dream was broken! I don't know what happened after that, but could it be that what I see is the outcome of that battle?'

'Could it be that this prison... It was made by Karyk to imprison the Goddess of Nature after that battle?! Then the Heavenly Stones... They were also created by Karyk? As for the purpose of those Heavenly Stones... Is it to supply energy to the suppressing chains in this room?'

'This whole mess is deeper than I expected. I can't even be sure of my own assumption. The Heavenly Stones have been taken by the Royals throughout the years. Doesn't that mean the suppression here has been weakening year by year?!'

'The person who spread the news of the treasure in this place... The person who spread these keys of entrance... Is it someone who wants to free this woman from prison?'

'This woman... If my assumption is correct and she was trapped by Karyk, won't she hate me to her bones because I inherited his element? If she gets free, won't I be the first person she kills?!'

While Gabriel was observing the woman, the silver haired woman was also looking back at him. Her beautiful green eyes that used to be full of life in the dream that Gabriel saw were now lifeless.

"Do you think these chains will be able to hold me back for an eternity?" The woman weakly asked as a tinge of hate flashed in her eyes. "The day I get free from here... I will bring hell to you."

Gabriel didn't know how long these chains could hold her back, but he didn't want to find out. If possible, he wanted the chains to last for an eternity as he didn't want to face a goddess that even Karyk could only trap and not kill!

"I have no enmity with you." Gabriel responded to the woman. For him, it was his first time meeting the woman in real life. "If you take a Heavenly Oath to never hurt me, I might think about freeing you!"

He didn't know how these chains worked or how to strengthen them. Since that was the case, he really preferred to come to a compromise which could maintain his safety.

For him, Karyk was dead. So there was no need for the woman to get revenge. As long as she took the oath to not hurt him, there was no need for him to keep her trapped.

The Goddess of Nature stared at Gabriel but didn't respond right away.

"After suffering for thousands of years, you want me to forget my hatred for you in exchange for freedom?" She asked after a long time. "You want a Heavenly Oath? I'll give you a Heavenly Oath!"

Gabriel had a really bad premonition. He didn't want her to take an oath anymore. Unfortunately, before he could speak, the woman took the initiative!

"With Heaven as my Witness, I take the blood oath that I will kill you!" The woman's cold voice made the entire tomb tremble.

The mythical black chains felt the trembling and used even more strength to suppress the Goddess of Nature.

The Goddess of Nature felt extreme pain throughout her entire body yet she didn't reveal any painful expression before Gabriel, as if she didn't want to show any weakness to the man she hated the most in this world!

'Such a vicious oath... It looks like she hates Karyk so much that you're not even willing to let an inheritor live... This woman...'

Gabriel could do nothing in a situation like this. He could only hope that the woman was going to be trapped here for at least the next hundred years, allowing him to become strong enough to protect himself from any calamity!

In the end, he could only shake his head and turn around. This tomb.... It wasn't a treasure trove. It was the bringer of a calamity and he had to stop the other youngsters from taking Heavenly Stones and weakening chains!

"The next time I see you will be the day I come for your life!" Hearing footsteps becoming distant, the woman weakly spoke.

"I'll wait for that day," Gabriel's response came from the distance and the place returned to silence once again…
