Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 420 420: Speed

Even as Ozen's sword passed through the girl's body, he only felt as if his sword had passed through empty air and not a real person.

Just as he expected, the little girl that he had stabbed dispersed, as if the attack had only managed to hit her afterimage and not her real self.

"Your speed is not bad... It's almost comparable to mine with my sword" The little girl appeared around thirty meters away from Ozen and Litvia.

Unlike the little girl who just complimented the speed of the two Envoys, the two Envoys were even more stunned. Even with the sword, they could barely match the speed of the little girl.

"She is fast..." Gabriel muttered.

The two Envoys only had a short time where they could fight with the sword and they couldn't waste this time.

No matter how fast the little girl was, they could only go all out. Moreover, thanks to the Holy Lords, their pressure came down a little.

The little girl was surrounded from all sides, leaving no place to escape. What was even worse was that the Holy Lords had managed to seal the space, making it unable for the little girl to escape using any talisman. They didn't want to make the same mistake they did with Alion.

What was even more was that all the Holy Lords used their unique skill. Since they couldn't defeat the little girl with straight attacks, they left the part about fighting to the two Envoys.

Unlike their attacks that the little girl swiftly destroyed without even moving, the attack of Ozen was avoided which gave them the impression that the little girl was scared of the swords.

The Holy Lords each cast their unique skill. The Holy Lord of Water cast Illusory water prison all around the little girl, which could make it impossible for any person to love.

The Holy Lord of Earth cast a spell which pulled the little girl toward the ground, increasing the gravity on the girl while making it harder for her to stay in the air. The gravity also slowed down her speed.

All the other Holy Lords each contributed a little, either to slow the little girl down, or to weaken her defense.

Through their successful cooperation, they had managed to decrease the speed of the little girl by upto fifty percent.

Even the little girl seemed somewhat amazed at the fighting style of the people before her. They were really targeting her weakness. However, there was still no fear on her face.

"At first, I was in a hurry to leave. However, it looks like there's no need to leave so soon. It's been long since I played around to my heart's content." The little girl raised her heavy swords.

Everything prepared for the coming attack. However, the girl didn't attack them. Instead, she tossed the sword toward Gabriel on the ground.

Gabriel moved back, barely avoiding the sword.

"Does she know I was behind it?" Gabriel wondered. As soon as the sword landed on the ground, it made the entire City tremble under its weight. Cracks developed all around and even some houses came crashing down once again.

Gabriel knew that the weight of the sword was a lot, but to cause such a phenomenon was even beyond his expectations.

"Take care of my sword," the little girl told Gabriel, as if she didn't have any intention to attack in the first place, and was just giving the sword to Gabriel for safekeeping. In the entire place, only Gabriel hadn't attacked her after all.

"And you say you don't know that girl," Avilia rolled her eyes. Even the other Holy Lords felt that something was wrong. The girl was trusting the Holy Lord of Light so much.

However, for now, they couldn't be distracted. They put all their attention on the little girl before them as the two Envoys attacked in perfect sync, as if predicting all the movement of the little girl.

Many people thought that with so many Holy Lords in the fray, the little girl had no chance to escape. Even Avilia thought that it was going to be hard for the little girl with so many people going all out to capture her.

However, the outcome turned out to be quite different.

The spells that had slowed down the little girl by upto fifty percent were proving to be of no use! As soon as the little girl got rid of the heavy Sword, her speed shot up by an extraordinary amount.

If she was fast like a cat in the past, then now she was like a leopard. Even when her speed was fifty percent lower than her peak speed, that speed was still twice as much as her peak speed with the sword.

The battle... It wasn't the fierce struggle that everyone thought it to be. It wasn't a long lasting battle either. Instead, it was like a deity was playing around with kids.

Even Gabriel couldn't see the little girl with how fast she was moving. He had to take help of spells to increase his perception to know where that little girl was. She was like a bolt of lightning flashing everywhere.

The two Envoys couldn't even catch her afterimage, let alone being able to wound her.

'Is this the level of a Demigod? I thought Demigods of the past used to be as strong as the Holy Lords of now. But I really underestimated them.'

Gabriel watched the Holy Lords fall down like shooting stars, crashing on the ground once again. Even the best of their shields couldn't prevent them from being hurt. As for attacking the little girl, it was even impossible. Their spells never hit the Target with how fast the girl was.

"Of course you can't compare a Holy Lord with a Demigod," Alion's voice echoed in Gabriel's head.

"Where are you?" Gabriel frowned, looking around.

"I'm back inside the castle," Alion answered. "The little girl can't find me. However, you need to be careful of her."

"I've already seen her skills. She is a fighter and her main advantage is her superior speed, which makes it hard for spellcasters to face her. Even I won't take her lightly." Gabriel nodded. The little girl didn't look the part, but her skills didn't lie.

"Is she also here to destroy the Castle and kill me?" Gabriel asked. "And why didn't anyone know about an existence like that in this place? Where does she come from?"

"From what I know about her, she is not here to destroy the Palace. And she couldn't care less about Karyk," Alion responded.

"Then why is she here?"

"She is here to capture me and take me back... Since I'm not allowed to be here."
