Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 562 562: Unknown

"If that Legacy is such a threat to the King of the Upper Realm and the Generals, why don't they just take it and make it impossible for the others to even get an opportunity?" Gabriel asked, intrigued about the hidden current behind everyone's actions.

It was said that many clans were after that legacy. However, so far, the Four Generals hadn't gotten involved, let alone the King of the Upper Realm.

If he personally tried, no one thought that he was going to fail at all. So why didn't he?

"It's because he can't... No one at the level of a true god can enter the Shadow Garden," the young lady answered, surprising even Gabriel.

"A place that can even stop true gods? How?"

True Gods were the ones who had sole control over their elements. When a true god of one element appeared, that meant no one else in the world was able to use that Element anymore. It was as if they were the sole master of their element.

Gabriel couldn't help but wonder how there was a place that could even suppress a true god? Just what was that place? Where did that legacy come from?

"Do you have any guesses where that Legacy could've come from?" he asked the young lady.

Unfortunately, in response, he only received a light shake of head. "No one knows. Maybe only the King of the Upper Realm knows. However, there are some rumors that the legacy doesn't belong to the Upper Realm."

"Not from the Upper Realm?" Gabriel frowned. The battle that changed the landscape of the Nether Realm entirely... The people involved in that battle weren't from the Nether Realm or the Upper Realm either.

Moreover, the True God who was killed by him back on earth wasn't from the Upper Realm either. However, they had such an impact on the Upper Realm and the Nether Realm.

Gabriel couldn't help but raise his head, as if thinking about something. He couldn't help but wonder if the reason the King of the Upper Realm didn't leave the Central World of the Upper Realm had something to do with that unknown place.

He had many questions, but not enough answers. The only taking he knew was that he had to get that legacy at any cost, to understand more.

Moreover, even though he had some elements of a true god inside his body, like his skeleton and his blood, when it came to his Element, he hadn't reached the True God Level. If anything, he was only halfway there. That made him believe that he was probably able to enter that place, however he still couldn't be sure completely.

From what he had heard so far, the Shadow Garden was something that no one knew much about. Only the founder of the Stein Clan had somehow managed to reach the core and learn some things. However, Gabriel believed that the guy was most probably just lucky to be able to reach the core region.

"The Shadow Garden will open in three days. Until then, father will collect all the information that you wanted. So rest assured." Ulesis stopped before a room, opening the door.

"This is where you'll stay. However, be careful. Even though we tried to hide the information, there are many unknown spies of other great clans even within our own clan. Many people must already know by now that you're the mage we asked to work with us in Shadow Garden exploration."

Gabriel entered the room, nodding. "You mean they might try to kill me before that happens?"

"The chances are still there, no matter how negligible. So it's better if you don't leave the clan before the shadow garden opens. However, the spies might still contact you, to buy your loyalty."

As the woman spoke, she lowered her head slightly, as if still somewhat worried that Gabriel was going to join another clan, just like many others before him. However, she also felt that the chances of that happening were low.

If Gabriel was really that kind of person, then he would've just demanded Treasures or wealth from his clan in the first place. He didn't even ask for a single treasure and only focused on the information, as if he had no intentions of amassing treasures in the first place.

"I'll take care of that when that happens..." Gabriel responded, before closing the door.

Even as he closed the door, Ulesis remained behind for a few more seconds, before ultimately leaving.

As Ulesis left, Gabriel finally started observing the bearing room.

The room was quite luxurious to say the least. It definitely didn't appear to be prepared for ordinary guests. Not only was the room big, but it had everything a person could ask for.

However, for Gabriel, the luxuries were useless. He slept outside more often than he slept inside a room. So he wasn't picky about his surroundings.

In the room, he only paid attention to the shower and the bed.

He took off his clothes and entered the shower, still lost in thoughts about the shadow garden and the unknown danger. He didn't know why, but he felt that there was something that neither he nor Karyk could see.

The legacy of the Shadow Garden, the skeleton and the Blood Monarch in the Nether Realm, and the scary sword in his dreams... Something big was happening, that he hadn't yet understood completely.

He really wanted to talk to Karyk about this. Unfortunately, he couldn't. He had to take care of everything on his side on his own.

"It would've been better if at least Raphael was here with me..." He muttered, as cold water droplets trickled down his perfectly chiseled body. "I should ask him back next time..."

In the night, Gabriel cast another protective spell around his room. Even though he saw many people approaching his room, none of them tried entering. It was as if they were being careful.

That's how the first night passed away without much happening. However, the next morning, something did happen.
