Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 390 390: Creation Of Gods

Amidst all the mocking and the scheming against him, Gabriel's entire focus remained on the entrance on the entrance of the Tomb before him.

It was his first time coming here, but for some reason, he felt as if he had come here before and not just once. This feeling was very strong and didn't appear as a misconception.

The entrance of the tomb was really strange. It was as if there was just a thick slab of stone standing in the middle of the valley. Behind the stone slab, there was nothing! However, some spatial distortion could be felt coming from the mysterious stone slab which was covered in strange patterns.

Around the stone tablet, there were four stone pillars, each climbing to thousands of metres in height. For most people, it was impossible to even look at the top of these stone pillars.

The four pillars were shining at the moment as a thin stream of energy was being transferred from each of their keys to the stone tablets, as if providing the stone pillars with the energy.

Even the key that Gabriel held in his hand wasn't different. Unlike the ordinary royals, Gabriel could see the thin stream of energy even more clearly. It was like a single thread of energy but that energy was the purest form of energy.

Gabriel also felt a bit of deathly energy from the thread of energy. It was very subtle and very hard to detect for even the other Holy Lords but as it was his own element, he was more perceptive toward it.

After barely five minutes, the stone pillars stopped absorbing the energy from the key, as if they had had enough.

All the stone pillars started shining brightly, illuminating the entire valley. Even Avilia who was standing in the distant mountain could see four bright towering pillars of light.

"I wonder why this valley was made, and who made it? This isn't something any ordinary person could've made."

Avilia sat at the edge of the cliff with her legs hanging in the air. She didn't enter the valley but she still waited outside for Gabriel.

After the stone pillars started shining, a pathway opened inside the five meter tall stone tablet in the shape of the door.

For the most part, that entrance was like a Spatial Portal that led to the actual tomb.

"You, enter first!" The person who had suggested using Gabriel to test the path ahead commanded him to enter.

"That's right. If there are any traps, let him activate them before we enter!"

"He's so weak, we might as well get some use out of him before he dies!"

More and more people were thinking similarly. At the same time, the Royals of Yann were sweating.

'You idiots, if you want to die, do it yourself! Why are you dragging all of us down with you!' Princess Xin scratched the back of her head.

She decided to help Gabriel out of the situation for their own safety. However, before she could even chime in, Gabriel moved and entered the portal.

"Hahaha, see? The weakling couldn't even talk back to us!" The youngsters laughed. "Let him activate the traps if there are any! We will enter in two minutes!"

Many of the youngsters stayed still, waiting a little but it wasn't the same for all.

Unlike most of the people who were extremely cautious, there were some who weren't.

The person covered in cloak entered the tomb not long after Gabriel, stunning the others present there. That person was considered strong by others after all since that person was the first to come to this place.

With time, the others also started hesitating a little and entered the tomb, worried that the cloaked person might get the treasures if they delayed longer. They could've snatched the treasures from Gabriel, but not from the hooded person.

The Royals of Yann also didn't hesitate to enter.

After coming out of the portal, Gabriel found himself in a dark hallway that was illuminated by some shining white stones along the way.

There weren't many such stones. Only one could be seen every ten meters or so.

"This stone is strange..." Gabriel stepped closer to one of the stones, observing it carefully.

Just as he was about to touch the stone, he heard a shocked exclamation from behind. "That's a Heavenly Stone! We are so lucky!"

Gabriel turned around, noticing the others had also arrived there.

Most of them were staring at the stone with greedy eyes.

"The last few times, the people who came to the tomb were sent to different parts of the tomb. Most of them couldn't even find a single Heavenly Stone! Who knew we would be so lucky as to be led straight to one!"

"What is a Heavenly Stone?" Gabriel asked the people behind him.

The youngsters only scoffed in response and didn't answer, thinking Gabriel wasn't worth knowing. They were also worried that Gabriel was going to get greedy after knowing what it was.

"Little man, take your hands off and step back! That stone isn't something any random person can touch!"

"That's right! What if you made it dirty with your hands or damaged it?!"

"Your death won't be enough to compensate us if you damage it!"

Gabriel was getting more and more irritated with the tone of these youngsters. Initially, he didn't pay attention to them, but they were only getting more frivolous.

Xin noticed Gabriel's expressions. It was the same when he had attacked her brother. She wanted to punch all the youngsters right now!

To calm Gabriel, she came forward with an explanation. "According to the legends, the Heavenly Stones are said to be the stones that were created by gods themselves! While the Spirit Stones that we mages use were created by Demigods and Holy Priests, the Heavenly Stones were the creation of gods themselves!"

"Not only do the Heavenly Stones contain the purest energy of heaven and earth, but it's also more soothing for the training of a mage. Unfortunately, these stones are so rare that it's almost important to find them outside!"

"This stone is also the reason why so many youngsters come to this tomb every time it opens. This is the only place that we know where these stones can be found!"

With Xin's explanation, Gabriel finally had a better idea about these stones.

"No wonder I felt the strange energy fluctuations from this stone which is stronger than an ordinary spirit stone."

Gabriel touched the Heavenly Stone. The energy of the stone felt extremely familiar as well.

"This also partially confirms that this place was indeed made by a God. But why? Just what's the secret behind this tomb? And why do I have a bad feeling about this?"
