Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
Chapter 518: I'll make sure you both drag each other to hellAll the Holy Priests of Light looked at Gabriel with naked hostility. From their expressions, it was clear that they would've given their all to kill him if they could.
Even the ones who had had a positive expression of Gabriel the last time hated him now. Unfortunately for them, their feelings were the last thing Gabriel cared for.
He stepped toward the first Holy Priest... The first person who had received a clone of Grimoire of Light from the Goddess of Light.
The first Holy Lord was a woman. Even though she didn't have a muscular build, she still felt much stronger than the rest. Even though all the people here weren't real holy lords of the past but only a fragment of their soul, they were still quite strong when compared to an average mage.
"If you want to watch, then I'll make sure to put on a good show for you!" Gabriel exclaimed.
To the Holy Lords, it was unclear who he was talking to. However, far away in the Upper Realm, the Goddess of Light was sitting in her room in silence with her eyes closed. Her face had an unnatural expression but she didn't do anything.
Gabriel placed his hand over the soul of the First Holy Lord.

For him, they were just as useless as the Element of Light.
The Element of Light was somewhat connected to the Superior Element of Life but that connection was only minute. Until the Goddess of Light truly mastered her Element of Light, she had no chance of even touching the threshold of evolution into the Goddess of Life.
Meanwhile, Karyk's starting line was already way ahead of her since he inherited a Supreme Element of Death.
Even though he also had the Element of Darkness, but that element was also more or less useless to him. Just like the Element of Light was connected to the Element of Life, the Element of Darkness was connected to the Element of Death.
He still remembered the day he had found out about the fact. He wasn't the only one who found out about it. The God of Darkness and the Goddess of Light were with him when the three had discovered this information.
At that moment, the other two didn't show much reaction, as if this information was useless to him. It was only now that Gabriel understood that this was the moment where a seed of greed was planted in their hearts... The greed for true evolution into a god with Supreme Element.
At least the God of Darkness was still straightforward and attacked him, only to be destroyed in the process. The Goddess of Light was more cunning, never revealing her greed until the last moment.
"Now that I think about it, it looks like that guy didn't die last time either, since the Element of Darkness was still passed around. Did his soul somehow escape?"
Gabriel had a fleeting thought, but he left it for later. For now, he had other things to focus on.
He placed his hand over the first Holy Lord of Light who wasn't even able to resist.
The Holy Grimoire of Death came out from his body. The pages started flipping open while Gabriel absorbed the soul of the First Holy Lord.
The First Holy Lord has her soul destroyed while her knowledge was stolen.
In the Upper Realm, the Goddess of Light had a pale face as she suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood! Even though these were just soul fragments, they were still connected to her since she was the one who granted them their abilities.
As their souls were being destroyed, she was the one who was getting hurt in the process! If possible, she wanted to go down and bring all those fragments back, but she bit her lips, resisting the urge.
She knew that if she went down, then Gabriel was never going to let her return! He was doing all this to drag her soul down with him;
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven though she had spent a thousand years in the Upper Realm, she was still scared of Gabriel.
When she granted Gabriel a small fraction of her abilities, it was only so he could gain some additional strength to fight the overlord of the upper realm.
She wanted the two of them to fight each other to death. At the end, if Gabriel was barely alive, she was supposed to kill him while also taking back her abilities from him that he would've worked hard to strengthen! That way, he would've lost the healing of Light that he would've come to rely on!
On the other hand, if the Overlord of the Upper Realm had the upper hand, she could've let him use her healing to drag the fight enough to weaken the Ruler of the Upper Realm.
Unfortunately, things weren't moving as she guessed. Instead of directly targeting the Ruler of the Upper Realm like she guessed, Gabriel was instead coming for her first! This was out of her expectations!
Another strange thing was that Gabriel had completely stopped using the Element of Light, instead of relying on it more and more like she wanted!
She wanted him to strengthen that element so when she took it back, her control over the Element would've reached the true god territory.
She wiped the lips off her blood, glaring into the void.
"You might want to target me first, but do your thing I'll let that happen?" The Goddess of Light clenched her teeth, talking to herself. "You might not Target him first, but do you think he'll do the same? I'll make sure that both of you drag each other to hell! You'll have no choice but to be my pawn!"
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she coughed more Blood as another soul fragment of the Holy Lord was destroyed.
Her eyes were bloodshot as she looked in the void, with a pale face.
