Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 601 601: She's Coming...

?

Gabriel landed on the ground, his robe fluttered with the wind. All his disguise was gone, revealing his true face... A face that was handsome yet was a cause of nightmare for many people. 

"What do you want from me? I didn't kill you! I won't do anything to you!" The Goddess of Water exclaimed, as the aura around her also became stronger. 

Even though she wasn't strong like Gabriel, she didn't want to die that easily. Unfortunately for her, the place where they appeared was a barren land with no people at sight. However, she also knew that she just had to hold him back until the Northern General sensed him. 

To distract him, the best way she could come up with was to keep him talking. 

"So, tell me, what is it exactly that you want from me? Why are you after me?" she asked him, trying to sound calm and curious although she was scared deep down. 

Gabriel shook his head. "I'm not here to find you any explanation..."

The Northern General had just finished telling Karyk to be ready tomorrow. However, not long after he left, he received a message from his son. 

The message was urgent and talked about him being attacked. 

The Northern General became concerned for his son and immediately opened a portal to go to the City. 

Unfortunately, by the time he came out, he found that the body of his son was burned to cinders, leaving nothing behind. 

It was unclear just what kind of fire it was, but he could still see the pitch black flames burning on the body of the young man. 

"Karyk!" The Northern General roared, as his aura turned into a flurry of storms that covered the entire city, ripping it apart. 

The people of the city panicked and fled in fear as the General's rage continued to escalate. Through his tears, he swore to find the person responsible for his son's death and make them pay for their actions.

At that moment, many houses collapsed and many Citizens in the city died, without any fault of their own. 

The General's advisors tried to reason with him, but his grief and anger consumed him, and he refused to stop the destruction until he had justice for his son. The once beautiful city was left in ruins, with the General's rage leaving a lasting scar on its people and history.

However, soon the General senses the aura of death coming from another direction. 

His eyes revealed burning flames of revenge. He opened another void and disappeared. Today, he fully intended to kill Karyk, not realizing that the person he was looking everywhere, was sitting right in his palace. 

He appeared above the barren land where he last felt trades of death, and the aura of goddess of water. However, as he came here, he couldn't find anyone!

There was not a single person in sight. However, the ground had some water on it. And some battle marks were visible. 

He couldn't understand one thing. How was Karyk appearing everywhere and erasing all his traces, as if he didn't have the Element of Death at all. 

Even from this close, he couldn't see Karyk. However, he did feel something else...

There was a strange energy aura left behind, which was the strongest he had ever seen. 

Moreover, a strange word could be seen on the ground, as if its shadow was still left behind. 

It was as if this strange aura was the remnants of a powerful attack that destroyed everything in its path. He could even see some stones and rocks crumbling to dust in the distance. 

The more he looked at this sight, the more surprised he became. He wrote that strange word somewhere, intending to ask the King about it. 

After he finished, he searched for Gabriel anywhere. Unfortunately, he couldn't find that young man anywhere. It was as if the person had disappeared into thin air, getting rid of all his aura, which should've been impossible after using it. 

For the next twenty four hours, the Northern General personally searched all the surroundings. All the clans in the area were highly alert because the Northern General was there. 

They did all they could, to help the Northern General to the best of their abilities. 

Unfortunately for the Northern General, he didn't find anything. Moreover, he also couldn't continue his search which appeared like a futile effort. 

He also had something else to do. He had to go to the Central World with the young boy in his palace. It wasn't something that could be delayed. 

The Northern General was burning in flames even as he left. 

He appeared back in the castle where the other three Generals were already waiting for him. 

"Any luck?" asked the Western General.

The Northern General shook his head. "Nothing," he replied grimly.

Almost everyone expected an answer like that. They had all been trying to find the same person, but it was as if Karyk was a rat who couldn't be found anywhere. 

"Did you hear that Karyk was seen inside the Beast Region last time? He seemed very close to the Beast Monarchs according to the information. Do you think he could be hiding there? Should we sweep through the forest?" The Eastern General inquired. 

The Northern General considered the proposal carefully before answering. "It's possible, but also very risky. The Beast Monarchs are fiercely protective of their territory. We could end up starting a war if we're not careful. First, we'll need to consult... him."

"Yeah. We're already going there so it's good timing," the Southern General agreed. 

He further said, "Did you hear that the woman is also coming to the Central World this time?*

"Is she going to plead for His Majesty to open that place for her again? Just how many times does she want to be rejected? Just because she helped us catch Karyk last time, she thinks she can get anything?"

"Moreover, she didn't even do a good job last time in killing him! That bastard is still alive! I even wondered if she schemed with him, faking his death!"

"Who knows." The Eastern General sighed. "We can ask her directly. She's coming here…"
