Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 207

The Wordless Chant... It was something that only the Holy Priests of Elements were able to accomplish, but even for them, it wasn't as easy a task as it took them years to master it. Even the Holy Priestess of Water hadn't yet mastered something like this. 

Fortunately, thanks to the interference of Novius, Gabriel actually managed to achieve it, casting a High Tier Spell. 

Novius had expected Gabriel to achieve something like this with a little push, but still, he couldn't help but be amazed at the display of talent right in front of his eyes. 

Gabriel's Domain was slightly different from his. It covered a slightly shorter area than his domain, but in terms of Potential and intensity, Gabriel's Paradise only looked much more complete in a sense. 

Novius' right hand was missing, but he could notice it on the ground. As soon as it was sliced, it fell on the ground, leaving him with only one hand in this battle. As for his only hand that was left, he held his Peak Tier staff with it. 

"Darkbolt!" Novius cast a new spell, utilizing the opportunity to attack Gabriel, who was still standing in his place. 

Gabriel didn't move at all. Even his lips didn't move as it looked like he wasn't going to cast any spell to protect himself, but even without him speaking anything, a barrier appeared before him, which was further reinforced by the Dark Mist that was also in his control now. 

It was as if a black sphere of protection had surrounded him to protect him from Novius' attack. The Sphere even made it impossible to see Gabriel inside it in all the darkness. 

Novius glanced at his right soldiers. Without his arm, he felt as if he was missing something. If he wanted, he could've made a new arm since he was the Guardian of the Floor, but he didn't. He wanted to fight fair. 

Boom ~

As Novius was thinking about which direction to take the battle, he felt a presence behind him. He also cast a barrier around him this time, but the attack came from such proximity that even with his barrier, he was tossed back, losing balance. 

Just as he looked like he might be able to balance himself, Dark Chains came out of the ground, wrapping around his Ankles. 

"Annoying!" Just like Gabriel had done, even Novius broke the shackles before finally casting the enhancement spells on himself. 

The advantage of Wordless Chant was that no one could know what a mage was casting or which spells they had used, but the mage could very well know what the enemy was casting.

Noticing the enhancement Spells being cast, Gabriel also cast similar spells, if not more. 

It was a world covered in darkness, and two Dark Mages fought each other to see who could be the last person standing. Unfortunately, it was hard to even keep an eye on the battle since both the Mages were so fast. 

It was hard to even catch a glimpse of them with the amount of speed they possessed after the Enhancements. Only explosions could be heard as the two clashed with each other repeatedly. 

The explosions weren't in the same place either, as the two also kept moving from place to place, not even keeping an eye on their surroundings. One moment, they were in the middle of the two Domains, and the next moment, they were five hundred meters away. 

The battle raged on, and surprisingly, Gabriel was holding on his own. Thanks to the mission arm of Novius, he was also slightly weaker than he usually was, but in a battle, that was an excuse that couldn't be given. 

For the first time, the Battle looked like the battle of two equals as both the opponents read each other's move. Both of them had their clothes covered in blood. For some reason, Novius appeared to be in a worse condition, but there was no regret or anger on his face. 

He wasn't upset at the situation of the battle. Instead, he was excited! It had been a long time since he had a battle like this! It had been a long time since he enjoyed a battle this much. He was filled with excitement and fighting intent, enjoying every moment of the battle. 

As time passed, both the Mages were running out of Spiritual Energy, but Gabriel was still able to hold up, thanks to the Soul Healing Pills of Cylix. However, even he didn't want to waste too many pills. He knew he had to end this battle right there and right now!

In their intense battle, both the men were already out of the range of the Dark Paradise. From where they stood, they could only see a dark domain in the distance. 

Novius' lips were bleeding, and his face was already pale, but there was an excited smile on his face! This battle! It was exactly what he wanted. 

'If it's like that, even outside, you might just manage to...' He tried to gather his breath, keeping an eye on Gabriel. 

Gabriel also stood just ten meters away from Novius with a pill in his hand. His condition was slightly better than Novius, but not by much. Even his body was covered in cuts which were slowly healing. 

He placed a Soul Healing Pill in his mouth, noticing the trembling of his hands return. That could only mean that his Soul was already nearly exhausted, and he couldn't take the battle longer. 

He raised his Staff of Darkness. Even though he didn't chant any spell, seeing both the marks on his left hand shining, it wasn't hard for Novius to see what he was returned to cast. 

"That spell? On me? It won't work. That spell works by entrapping a mage first in darkness before the explosion of light. I can easily pass through that barrier of light. I also have the Dark Manifestation, which can save me. You better not waste your energy on that!"

It was genuine advice that not most opponents would've given since almost everyone would've preferred to see their opponents waste their energy in this fashion. 

Surprisingly for him, Gabriel wasn't looking like he was interested in listening. He knew about this flaw right at the start, and that's exactly why he wasn't using that spell before. 

Since Novius couldn't hear that chant either, he could only guess what the spell was. In any case, he didn't feel threatened. 

Even though Gabriel could chant without speaking, he intentionally spoke the last few words of the spell to make sure Novius heard him. All the preparation for the spell was complete. They were out of the Dark Paradise, so it was the best place for him to try something new... Something he hadn't tried before...
