Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 366 366: Shameless Holy Lord

"Who are you?" Even though Izen had some guesses, he still asked.

Gabriel didn't immediately answer. He looked past Izen inside the Academy of Elements. He was still somewhat far from his destination.

"Little boy, shouldn't you be capable enough to know who I am?" Gabriel asked as he patted the head of Izen as if Izen was a junior and he was older.

Frowning, Izen stepped back as if to avoid the hands of Gabriel.

Gabriel ignored the movement and continued, "Then again, I can't blame you. I haven't shown my face for a long time, after all."

"I came here because I heard that you came to the Church to meet me a few days ago. Since I was busy with something, I couldn't meet you then."

No one had seen the so-called Holy Priest of Light in the past. Gabriel decided to take advantage of the situation to pretend to be a Holy Lord who had held this position for years. With that, he could avoid a lot of troubles.

"Holy Lord of Light?" Izen asked. He didn't know why, but he felt somewhat suspicious, even though he was convinced that the aura of this man wasn't something that the ordinary mage of Light could possess.

"Why do you hide your face?"

"Think of it as me training myself. You don't need to concern yourself with my affairs," Gabriel shrugged. "Anyway, aren't you going to invite me inside, little one?"

Izen's face twitched uncontrollably as he heard the Holy Lord address him as if he was a little child. He couldn't see just how old the Holy Lord was, but how could he be older than him? That didn't make sense to him.

He had a bad feeling about all this, but he didn't understand why. It was as if he was missing something really important. However, no matter what, he couldn't reject the Holy Lord of Light. In fact, he had gone to meet the Holy Lord first. Now that he was here, he had to be a host.

"Please come inside first. We should be talking inside in that case."

No matter what, now that the Holy Lord of Light was here, he could only accompany him inside. Moreover, he also had another reason for bringing Gabriel inside the Academy.

He could see that Gabriel was surrounded by an aura of Light which hid his appearance. He had an item in his office that should dispel all auras. Inside his office, no disguise could be maintained. No matter who the person was, their real face could only be revealed!

No matter why Gabriel was using a disguise, Izen was sure that he was going to see Gabriel's real face to see for himself.

Izen flew inside the Academy, accompanying Gabriel. The Head Teachers flew inside behind them, keeping an eye on the Lord of Light.

Usually, the Church of Light members were very arrogant. For their Holy Lord to come here alone without much fanfare was indeed surprising.

"Hmm? Is that the Tower of Challenges?"

Right when everyone was getting close to Izen's office, Gabriel slowed down.

He landed before the Tower of Challenges, observing the names on the list of the top achievers. His name was still on the top, above Axion's name. He was also the only person who had managed to reach the Tower of Challenges last time.

"This is the place where we train our Juniors. One has to be under thirty to be able to enter," Izen told Gabriel. He didn't know how old Gabriel was, but the way he talked, Izen could only guess that he was at least a middle aged man who wasn't qualified to enter the tower.

"I've heard that it's very hard to clear this tower. I'm quite interested in trying for myself," Gabriel smirked. "I wonder if you would be kind enough to allow me an entry?"

Finally Gabriel was where he wanted to be! This was his destination! This was the reason he came back to this place, travelling so far.

Currently, his biggest problem was that he didn't know how to solve the mystery behind the Garden of Legacy. No matter what he did, he couldn't find anything. He needed answers that he couldn't find through ordinary means.

There was only one source where he believed he could find those answers. It was the Mirror on the hundredth floor of the Tower of Challenges! The mirror was supposed to know everything! It was also what told him about the weakness of his physical body and also how to solve that problem.

Last time, he wasn't strong enough to take the mirror with him. This time, he wanted to try again. Even if he couldn't take the mirror back, he could at least get more answers after reaching the top floor once again.

"Allow you an entry?" Izen asked, slightly taken aback. "Are you younger than thirty?"

"Do I look older?" Gabriel asked in return.

Hearing his response, Izen's face twitched even more. Was this guy messing with him? He hid his body behind the aura of Light and had been addressing him as a Junior and now he was saying he was younger than thirty?

It wasn't often that Izen felt angry, but it was one of those times. Just how could the Holy Lord be so shameless?

"We don't allow an outsider to enter the Tower. Only the Academy members can enter," Izen responded, subtly rejecting Gabriel.

He didn't know why, but he didn't want to let Gabriel enter. No matter what Gabriel was here for, Izen didn't want to let him succeed before he saw his real face.

"That's good. Since I'm not an outsider, I should be allowed to enter. Thanks for the approval." Gabriel shrugged. Without wasting a single second, he stepped forward.

Izen appeared before Gabriel, blocking his path. "What is the Holy Lord trying to imply? Why aren't you an outsider?"

Gabriel tilted his head to the left. "Aren't you my little brother? How can I be an outsider in my little brother's academy?"

Even though Izen didn't show it on his face, his blood was boiling. This man was even more shameless than he expected!

Before Izen could react, Gabriel had already moved past him and entered the Tower.

"What should we do now?" Lishen asked Izen. He could see that Izen didn't want the Holy Lord to enter. Let alone him, everyone could see it, except the Holy Lord himself!

Izen coldly looked back at Gabriel.

Before he could say anything, the Head Teacher of Eartha Rem chimed in. "It looks like he's determined to enter. If we try to stop him, it might make the two sides enemies."

"So what? This place isn't a playground!" The Head Teacher of Flames scoffed! "Even if it's the Holy Church of Light, we can't let them do as they please."

If anything, Izen agreed with the Head Teacher of Flames more! No matter what, he couldn't allow Gabriel to enter! He had to stop the young man!
