Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 514 514: He Went Easy On You

"What are you doing here?!" The Lich King asked. However, his voice appeared to use some mysterious magic that allowed him to speak without even opening his lips.

His voice could clearly be heard by the Goddess of Nature and the other Undead Generals but not by Avilia and Gabriel's sister.

"I'm here to meet him," The Goddess of Nature replied. She was not here to fight. And even if she fought, she didn't think she would win, with the current condition of this world. However, she was really curious about one thing.

The Undead Generals were blocking her path. However, for what reason? That was the question in her mind. Karyk wasn't here after all. So who were they trying to protect from her?

In the end, she could only think of one person... The woman that Avilia hid behind her.

She had already felt some of Karyk's aura on Zena and everyone was trying to protect her.

"Is she his daughter?" She asked in the end, even though she couldn't believe it herself. Karyk wasn't a person who would have a child since according to her, that guy was incapable of falling in love in the first place.

Moreover, according to her information, he was dead for a thousand years, and only recently awakened. There was no way he was going to have a daughter who was this old.

All the Undead Generals revealed some unnatural looks when they glanced back at Zena. To hear her be called their master's daughter was slightly odd.

In fact, even they wanted their master to someday have a family and children, settling down. Unfortunately, the situation didn't allow him.

"Her identity doesn't concern you. Just remember, that if you tried to harm her; in this universe, Master might make your life worse than living hell."

"He already did for the last thousand years." The Goddess of Nature retorted.

However, in response, one of the Undead Generals smiled. "What happened to you for the last thousand years will look like child's play compared to what he might do if you hurt that girl. You might think what Master did to you was bad, but let me remind you... He went really easy on you..."

The Goddess of Nature frowned, but didn't respond. What she went through was him going easy? Her face revealed some traces of anger but she couldn't completely deny the possibility.

What Karyk did to her felt less like a punishment and more like him locking her somewhat for a few decades to make her calm down. It was as if he was planning to free her after some time, but with his death at the hands of others soon after, the time was pushed forward by a thousand years.

Her anger did decrease after a short time in imprisonment since she had lots of time to think about it. She thought that Karyk was going to free her. However, as centuries passed, her anger and hate only continued to build up, as if Gabriel had completely forgotten about her.

Even though she didn't show it on her face, she felt really good when she heard that Karyk had died a thousand years ago and just returned, only to free her. It showed that he hadn't forgotten her.

Moreover, the more she thought about it, the more she realized that things weren't bad. Even when Karyk had killed her brother in anger, he had saved his soul, to bring him back later. So he never really intended to take her brother's life but only to punish him.

Even though she had some misunderstandings about Karyk's actions with the kind of assumptions she made, if he were to know about it, it was unclear what kind of expression he would've revealed

"I'm not here to hurt her." In the end, the Goddess of Nature shook her head lightly. She had enough of fighting Gabriel. "I'm just here to meet him. However, since he's not here, I'll take my leave."

She simply turned around. Even though she was curious about Zena's identity, it didn't matter.

"Leaving so soon?" As the Goddess of Nature was about to leave, a voice came from behind her.

"Alion... I should've expected you to be here." The Goddess of Nature glanced at the roof of the castle, noticing a man standing there.

She disappeared and in the next moment, she appeared right next to Alion. After that, both of them went inside the Castle, talking about something.

Avilia finally sighed in relief. Even though the person was dangerous, it appeared that she had no intention of harming Zena.

"She is master's friend." The Damphir explained, raising his heavy sword, placing it on his shoulder. "Don't worry. She won't harm you. And even if she tried, she won't be able to. So don't think about her."

After he finished speaking, he also left with the other Generals.

Gabriel had prepared a specific training zone for them in the Palace perimeters, where they could go all out without affecting their surroundings with the strength of their attacks. That's also the place where all the Undeads trained.

Since they had woken up after a thousand years, they were even more hungry for battle, giving it their all in their training. It was a sight to see, to watch such monsters fight.

After searching all around the world, Gabriel finally found the eight keys that were spread throughout this world in different towers.

He was really curious about the beings who made these towers yet he didn't think about it too much. He kept the ordinary looking keys in his storage ring before finally returning to his palace.

As he reached his palace, he already felt the presence of the Goddess of Nature. However, he didn't reveal any traces of surprise, as if he was expecting it to happen.

During his absence, Alion had been talking to the Goddess of Nature, telling her about the last thousand years that only he and Gabriel knew about.

There were more details in his description that changed a little compared to the version of the Temple of Time. However, the core was the same... Karyk's death and betrayal of gods.

While the Temple of Time called that betrayal as gods working together to kill an evil God, he knew that it was no more

than backstabbing someone just because they were scared of their abilities and influence. It wasn't even just fear, but also greed.

If someone was the evil god according to him, it was the Goddess of Light, who planned so far ahead, only to get what she wanted!
