Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Gabriel felt a little headache. If possible, he wanted to kill the Goddess of Nature to avoid any future trouble. Unfortunately, it was impossible for him to kill her. Even Karyk couldn't do so in the past after all.

All he could do for now was to prevent her from escaping.

He just came here because the mirror told him that he was going to find a way to recover the secret hidden in the Garden of Legacy from this place. Not only did he not find any such treasure that could help him, but he instead found a woman who crazily hated him!

"What a loss." He shook his head in frustration. "Could it be that the mirror fooled me?"

Gabriel walked back in the same direction where he came from, trying to find the other youngsters to stop them and to take them outside.

Unfortunately, even as he walked back through the same route, he couldn't find them.

"They aren't here? Could it be that they walked in the opposite direction?"

****

After searching the outer zone of the tomb for close to seven hours, Gabriel finally found the group of youngsters. Along the way, he had seen around fifteen dead bodies. They belonged to the people who had been killed in the traps along the way.

Other than the ones who were dead, the rest were all alive. The Royals from Yann were alive as well.

"It's him! He's back!" One of the youngsters exclaimed, noticing Gabriel in the distance.

"That little idiot is still alive! He must've received the treasure at the core region! That's why he came back!"

"Core treasure, if I can get it, won't my Empire become the strongest? It's a place that can even hold back the Holy Lords after all!"

The people who were only dreaming of taking back the Heavenly Stones until now found their new goal as soon as they saw Gabriel! Their eyes shone with greed! Going through all the hardships to get a treasure was good, but what was even better was to just snatch the treasure without any hardship!

"He's just lucky to avoid traps! But so what? Without strength, the treasure will only be a waste in his hands!"

Gabriel was still thinking about the Goddess of Nature and wasn't in the mood to enjoy his surroundings. If that wasn't the case, he would've found their response quote shameless and amusing.

"Hahaha, yes!" The strongest Royal Heir in the group was none other than Crown Prince Asten from the Lumen Empire!

Throughout the dangerous journey with so many deaths, he had also become the leader of this small group, thanks to his talent of avoiding some weaker traps!

Asten was also the one who wanted the treasure of Gabriel the most. "Young man, sometimes a treasure can bring a great calamity to a person. If you leave this place with the treasure, you might attract the attention of bad people outside!"

"Let alone enjoying the treasure, you might even lose your life!" he told Gabriel. "How about this? You give that treasure to me and I'll protect it for you! When everything calms down, you can come to the Lumen Empire and I'll return it to you? Isn't that a great deal for you?"

Gabriel didn't answer Asten. In his eyes, Asten was the biggest idiot here. If anything, the Crown Prince of Yann was a better person to talk to.

He counted all the people who were here as well as the dead bodies he had seen along the way.

"That's strange. One person is missing... Did I miss a dead body? Or was the body destroyed by some trap? Strange..."

Gabriel was still trying to think. However, Asten was getting impatient. Not only did Gabriel not give him the treasure, but he also ignored him?

"Are you looking down on me?" Asten roared, bringing Gabriel out of his daze. "Since you don't want to appreciate my kindness, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Gabriel stopped thinking about the missing person. Since he hadn't seen that person along the way, that meant the person was either dead or already left. There was no danger anymore.

He just had to take these people back. But before that, he had to convince these Royals who looked down on everyone!

"Don't worry. I won't blame you for being ruthless." Gabriel told Asten. "I hope you extend the same courtesy to me when I start getting ruthless."

"Hahahaha... You really know how to talk big!" Asten burst into laughter as a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes. However, his laughter abruptly stopped as the trace of killing intent in his eyes disappeared, turning into pure fear!

He only saw a blinding light flash before his eyes. He couldn't even react! Everything happened so fast!

The entire world turned upside down for him as a thin blood red line spread across his throat.

Asten froze in place, deathly still.

The next second, Gabriel appeared before Asten.

"Don't blame me for being ruthless..." Gabriel repeated as he lightly touched the forehead of Asten, giving it a gentle push.

Asten couldn't even speak as his head rolled back, falling into the ground while his body was still standing.

A few seconds later, his body also followed, falling next to Asten's head!

All the Royals who were clamouring in the past for Gabriel to hand over their weapon were now frozen still as chill ran down their spines. They never expected Gabriel to be this strong! They didn't even see how Gabriel did it, but Asten was already dead! It was as if everything happened in an instant!

The Crown Prince of Yann was also scared out of his wits. He knew Gabriel was strong, but even he hadn't expected him to be this strong and ruthless! Finally he understood why his sister had lied to him to stop him from attacking Gabriel last time!

If he had known it in the past, even in his dreams he wouldn't have rushed inside Gabriel's room!

"I don't care what you came here to do. However, it's time for you all to leave!" Gabriel declared. "I'll count to three and whoever stays behind will be killed by me!"

Normally, the Royals wouldn't have listened to him. However, seeing what he was capable of, they didn't dare to stay behind. All of them brought their keys out and applied some of their spirit energies to the keys!

One after another, all of them were sent out except the people who were already dead!

After making sure that everyone had left, Gabriel sighed in relief. He did the same and left this place. There was nothing more to do here.

****

Gabriel left the Tomb but even he didn't expect that he was right about missing one person! And the person he missed was neither dead, nor did that person leave!

Only after Gabriel left the tomb did the cloaked figure finally come out of hiding.

The person rushed through the hallways, destroying all the Heavenly Stones along the way while also avoiding the traps! That strength wasn't something an ordinary mage could possess either. This time, no one could stop that person as the suppression of the tomb kept getting weaker!

Inside the suppression room, the chained woman raised her head. She could feel that the strength of these chains was getting weaker...

Ten minutes passed and the suppression was at its weakest. The Goddess of Nature felt as if her strength was finally returning to her body now that the chains couldn't suppress her. Unfortunately, it was still impossible for her to break the chains for now.

[Creak]

While the Goddess of Nature was thinking about how to break the chains and free herself, the doors opened.

She heard footsteps as someone stepped inside the room.

"It's time for you to be free…"
