Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 369 369: I'll Hunt!

Izen wasn't an enemy that could be defeated without going all out. It was already clear from the first day he met Izen. If anything, for Gabriel, Izen was as big a threat as a Holy Lord. It was best to take him out so as to avoid any future troubles!

Gabriel knew he couldn't defeat Izen just by using his spells of Light that he hadn't mastered entirely. It was the same as when he faced the Ninth Holy Lord. He had to take help from his other Elements.

In the entire Lumen City, there was only Izen who could sense his real identity if he didn't use the Shroud of Light to protect him. He couldn't always go out in the city with the shroud. So it was much better to take Izen out already.

Izen looked around at the barrier. It was really strange. Why was Gabriel wasting his strength on a barrier? Was he really worried that someone was going to attack from outside? Or was there another reason behind it?

"Enough wasting strength now," Gabriel said as he stretched his arms lazily. The shroud spell cost a lot of his strength, each second he kept it active. Initially, he expected to easily enter the tower. But now that he was in a battle, he couldn't waste his time anymore.

"Weren't you curious about my face?" He asked after a brief pause. "I'll let you see in that case."

Gabriel wanted to kill Izen now that he was here. To reveal his face before Izen was also another reason that he was giving himself to kill Izen. After Izen saw his real face, there was no way he could let Izen live. It was just an additional motivation for himself to go all out today.

Gabriel cancelled his Shroud. The aura of Light that was surrounding him slowly retreated before ultimately disappearing.

Finally, the shroud was off and Izen was able to see Gabriel's face.

"It's you!" Izen subconsciously took a step back, shocked. The man before him was none other than the so-called Holy Lord of Darkness that he fought before! It was also the person who robbed the Academy and was behind their downfall.

"You're the Holy Lord of Darkness! And you're the Holy Lord of Light? How is that possible? Impossible! It must be an illusion!" Izen exclaimed, shocked.

He was usually very calm, but seeing someone like Gabriel who defied all the laws of nature, even he couldn't remain calm.

"Who am I? Don't you know?" Gabriel asked in response. "I'm the person who was attacked by you when I was leaving this city. I'm the person who was almost killed by you. I'm the person who you didn't even give a chance to talk before you attacked!"

"Oh, and one more thing..." He called forth another Ancestral Staff... The Staff of Darkness this time.

On one hand, he held the Ancestral Staff of Light and on the other hand, he held the Ancestral Staff of Darkness. Two conflicting auras spared inside the Tower. However, thanks to the barrier of light, no one outside could sense that aura at all!

To the outsiders, everything appeared normal.

The Head Teachers of the Academy wanted to enter the Tower to make sure that Izen was alright. However, they couldn't even pass through the barrier.

Even the Head Teachers didn't realize that there was another Holy Lord there.

? High in the sky, Avilia stood, looking down at the Academy. She had been here for quite some time but she didn't interfere. She wanted to see just what Gabriel was going to do. Was he really going to kill Izen?

Other than keeping an eye on the Academy, she was also here for another reason. She was making sure that no other Holy Lord could peek inside the Academy to see what was happening here. Since she was supposedly with the Holy Lord of Light, she didn't need to hide her presence here anymore.

Other than Gabriel's shield that protected the Tower, she cast another shield herself to protect the entire Academy from the prying eyes.

"This guy really loves to make enemies wherever he goes" Avilia smiled wryly. "Then again, maybe it's for the best. The louder he gets now, the more weight his voice will carry in the future... Maybe it's time for the world to see the rise of another..."

****

Inside the Tower, Izen was feeling slightly uncomfortable in his heart. He wasn't scared and he was still confident that he could fight on equal terms with Gabriel.

However, there was still a strange feeling inside his heart, as if he was facing a disaster like never before. It was as if he was a prey who stood before a Predator.

"Do you think you can survive now that you've exposed your identity?" Izen asked coldly. "As soon as I get out of here, the entire world will know who you are! You will be hunted to the ends of Earth until you're found and killed!"

"Hunted like the students at the Academy were hunted by the outsiders?" Gabriel tilted his head slightly as he asked, seemingly amused.

At the same time, a dark mist also started covering the entire area. The dark mist gave Gabriel even more control over his surroundings. His clothes were also covered in a layer of dark energy which increased his defence even more.

"You don't have to worry about me being hunted though. I've had enough of being hunted already! This time, I'll be the one hunting and removing all obstacles!"

"And you, little brother... Are the first obstacle!"

As soon as Gabriel finished, his figure disappeared inside the Darkness.

"You overestimate yourself!" Izen roared as he also raised his Peak Tier Staff, casting a quick spell.

A majestic sun appeared above his head, brightening his surroundings. For some reason, no dark mist could get close to him. Whatever tried to get close to him was destroyed by the sun's light!

Gabriel didn't attack Izen directly. He appeared above the sun instead.

He placed his hand on the blazing hot sun that was as hot as a real sun. However, Gabriel's hands didn't burn! He covered his hand in the Holy Light to protect himself! The Light had a unique effect against the Darkness. However, when Light was faced with Light, the effects were heavily reduced.

Izen had created the sun to destroy his surroundings and kill Gabriel who was hiding somewhere in the darkness. However, before he could even throw the majestic sun, his face went pale.

It was as if the sun above him lost control! Not only did the sun lose control, but for some reason, it was a thousand times heavier, as if someone was pushing this sun down instead!
