Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 327 327: Taking Matters Into Own Hands

All of the young woman's clothes were lying on the ground while Gabriel held two items in his hand. One was a small piece of paper that he would never have known about if he hadn't checked thoroughly. And the second item was an inner clothing which could fool even the best of the best.

The piece of paper was an ordinary treasure that still hadn't reached the grade of a Numen. However it could still help a person teleport hundreds of kilometres away in an instant as long as the space wasn't sealed.

As for the inner garment, that was actually a Numen! Even Gabriel didn't know what that item was for or what it could do. However, he could feel Numen's aura as he held it in his hands.

"What does it do?" he directly asked the maid since it was a Numen that wasn't of any use to him. It was something that could only work for a woman after all. If anything, he could only give it to someone else as a gift.

"Protects against sneak attacks," the young maid exclaimed, clenching her teeth. Her eyes were filled with anger and shame as she tried to avoid Gabriel's gaze.

At the end, she could feel her face burning in embarrassment. "If you've had enough, can I wear my clothes again?"

"Go ahead."

Gabriel had already checked everything and taken the treasures from her. There was nothing she could do anymore. All that was left was an ordinary piece of clothing.

The young woman wore her clothes again, even though she was missing a piece of her inner garment. Anything was better than standing before a man without any clothes.

Gabriel kept both the items in his space storage. The woman couldn't escape anymore so there was no need to waste his strength in space sealing. He removed the sealing, freeing the space.

Shatter~

As Gabriel was about to continue his discussion with the young lady, he heard the sound of glass shattering.

He walked to the balcony and noticed that the rebellion army had already infiltrated the castle.

It was supposed to be the Royal Knights who held the rebellion back, but on the contrary, it seemed as if the rebellion was holding the Royal Knights back, especially the Knights Academy!

While most of the Knight Academy Elders kept the Royal Army back, the other protestors rushed past the Royal Knights, infiltrating the Royal Castle. They weren't holding back either.

The people were so angry that they didn't enter the castle silently. Instead, they broke everything that they found on their way, from doors to old sculptures to doors.

"It seems you're really popular amongst your people and I can understand why!" The maid stated with clenched teeth. Her sarcasm couldn't be any clearer.

"Of course I'm famous. I'm the person who opens the door to an afterlife for them after all," Gabriel answered, without holding back.

"I've been too silent recently. These people will not understand until I take care of matters myself."

He had only been trying to train himself and leave the matters of fighting to his army. However, for now, that didn't seem to work. He decided to take things into his own hands to crush this rebellion once and for all!

****

"Find the Emperor and take him hostage!" One of the Knights who entered the Royal Palace exclaimed, followed by hundreds of people.

They were all being escorted by a maid who had betrayed the castle. The maid knew the room of Gabriel and was directly escorting them to his room.

"Take him prisoner? Nonsense!" Another Knight exclaimed. "We need to kill that bastard! He ruined our Empire through his actions! He doesn't deserve to live!"

"Right! He doesn't deserve to live!"

"We need to kill him!"

Most of the people agreed as they were filled with bloodlust. Even the people who were against the killing couldn't stop them as the majority wanted Gabriel's death. They could only give in.

In any case, for them it didn't matter if Gabriel was dead or alive. The throne was going to go to someone else.

The people didn't control their actions at all, leaving only destruction in their wake. They destroyed whatever they could find along the way from portraits to paintings.

Amongst the paintings on the wall, there was one painting in which Gabriel was standing with two young men next to him.

In the painting, the three looked really close. In fact, it was a painting that Gabriel made himself.

The people didn't know who the other two men in the painting were, but they recognised Gabriel in the middle.

"That bastard! After killing the citizens, he is living here in luxury, having his paintings being made?" One of the Knights exclaimed.

"I wonder who the two people next to the Blood Demon are. I've never seen them before!"

Not a single person recognised the other two people since none of them had seen Novius before, despite Novius being a member of the Saint King clan in the past.

"Who cares? The other two just be like bastards like the Blood Demon as well! If we find them anywhere, we should kill them as well!" One of the Knight Academy members scoffed with a cold face.

He reached out his hand toward the painting to tear it from the wall and destroy it.

Silence~~~

The entire hall was filled with chatter and calls for the death of the Blood Demon. However, at the moment, there was only silence as everyone froze in place with a pale face.

Even the man who reached out his hand toward the painting on the wall froze. For a moment, his face was expressionless however, his face slowly twisted as he noticed that the hand which he stretched out was missing!

It was as if his hand was destroyed in an instant and he couldn't even see how it happened. It took a brief moment for the pain to reach his head.

"Arghhh!!!" He exclaimed at the top of his lungs, holding his shoulders as he dropped to his knees. His face was as pale as it could be.

He didn't even see just how it happened. There was only a shadow that he saw flashing before him, and the next second, his hand was missing.

As the Knight groaned on the ground, a dark mist started spreading out.

In the distance, everyone noticed a person... A man shrouded in darkness. However, they could still see that person's face.

Behind the man, they could see more people who looked completely lifeless.

"Blood Demon!"
