Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 543 543: Stronger

The two of them began to observe each other, looking for an opening in the other's defenses. The Goddess of Nature attacked first, sending a flurry of wind at Gabriel. Thousands of vines came out of the ground, attacking simultaneously. He quickly summoned a shield of darkness to protect himself, but the force of the attack still knocked him back a few feet.

Unlike before, he didn't hastily try to get close to the Goddess of Nature. However, he hadn't forgotten how powerful she was.

He balanced himself, avoiding any harm thanks to his shield. Instead, he retaliated by shooting a powerful beam of light at the Goddess of Nature. It was as if he had created the Holy Sword of Light that shot straight out, looking to annihilate everything that was wrong with this world.

The Goddess of Nature was slightly intrigued, but she still quickly put up a barrier of her own. At the same time, golden vines came out of the ground, as if intending to become her shield.

The Golden Vines appeared stronger than the ones she had used to attack Gabriel. Moreover, they were also harder than metal, and almost impossible to break.

Unfortunately, the Holy Sword of Light wasn't to be taken lightly either, especially since Gabriel didn't just stop with one! He created more of such Swords that flew out.

Amidst the Holy Swords made purely of Light, he also created some Swords of Darkness, which had different properties.

The barrier of the Goddess of Nature barely managed to hold on for the most part, but knew that under the constant barrage of attacks, it was only a matter of time before her barrier broke.

That was also exactly what happened. The beam of light bounced off the barrier and hit the ground, causing a huge explosion that sent dirt and debris flying everywhere.

The Goddess of Nature was not done yet, though. As if already expecting it, she had already switched places and appeared in a different place. There was no one behind the barrier that she had created.

"Not bad. You've certainly become calmer," she complimented before sending a wave of earth and vegetation to surround Gabriel, entrapping him. He was able to break free, but the Goddess of Nature was already launching another attack.

She summoned a huge tree to come crashing down on Gabriel, but he managed to dodge out of the way just in time. He retaliated by summoning Shadow Generals to attack the Goddess of Nature.

The battle only kept intensifying with each passing second, as both the people involved in it went all out.

Smoke and dust could be seen everywhere on the battlefield, decreasing the visible range. However, for the two of them, it didn't matter.

Gabriel was determined to defeat the Goddess of Nature, while the Goddess of Nature didn't want to lose either.

Amidst all the dust filling the surrounding, she sent a powerful shockwave of energy at Gabriel, knocking him back several feet once again. However, she once again failed in hurting him as a beautiful armor appeared around him.

Strangely enough, the Armor was made by merging two contrasting elements of Light and Darkness.

Noticing the effectiveness of Gabriel's armor, the Goddess of Nature waved her hand. Multiple trees in the distance were uprooted, rising in the air. All of them flew straight to Gabriel, as if they were mountains, coming to crush him.

As if anticipating her move, Gabriel countered with a strategic slash of his sword that he made by merging light and darkness. It was stronger and sharper than any said he had created before.

He swung his Sword, as if he wasn't a mage but a knight instead!

His sword came swinging at the tens of trees that came for him, splitting the trees in half. The energy emitted from the sword was so powerful that it transformed the surrounding landscape into a surreal scenery.

He quickly recovered and retaliated with a blast of darkness that enveloped the whole area. The Goddess of Nature managed to dodge the attack, but the darkness still caused some damage to the nearby trees and vegetation.

Instead of targeting her directly, Gabriel tried to take away her advantage by changing the entire landscape into something that she couldn't take advantage of. Unfortunately, that wasn't an easy task.

He had only been training for five days so the spells that he created weren't many. As for the stronger spells that he created in the meantime, he didn't use them yet. He wanted to test his limits, to see how far he could go without using his more powerful spells.

The battle raged on, both mages trading blows and using their respective powers to try and gain the upper hand. The darkness and light clashed against the purity of Nature in a brilliant display, neither side willing to back down.

Eventually, the Goddess of Nature managed to gain the upper hand, and Gabriel was forced to retreat a few steps. However, the battle was far from over.

Gabriel was just getting started, and he knew that he had to take things up a notch if he wanted to turn the tide in his favor. He closed his eyes, focused his energy, and began to chant a spell that he had never attempted before.

As he changed the spell, he kept moving without even looking at his surroundings. He knew that the Goddess of Nature wasn't going to allow him to finish this spell. However, he was ready for that and kept changing his position.

Hundreds of shadows appeared in the surroundings and he also became a shadow, disappearing amidst all the other shadows. It wasn't easy to locate him.

Moreover, the chanting of his spells appeared to come from all of his shadows, being identical.

The air around the shadows crackled with power as he unleashed the spell, causing the ground to shake and the trees to sway. The Goddess of Nature looked on in surprise as the spell began to affect the very fabric of reality itself.
