Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 678 678: Ezekiel's Depths

?

Gabriel walked next to Ezekiel, still slightly taken aback by everything that had taken place.

"You don't have to hold in your questions," Ezekiel stated, without even looking back. It was as if he could see Gabriel's confusion. 

"You can bring people to life?" Gabriel asked. This was the biggest question in his mind. He couldn't understand how Ezekiel brought the Beast Monarchs back to life. It was surprising that he could even do that. 

Even Karyk had to go through so many extra steps to bring the dead back to life. However, Ezekiel did that instantly right before his eyes. 

That made him wonder if Ezekiel could help him bring back his sister, Cylix and the others as well. A flicker of hope was ignited in his heart. 

If he could bring them back to life, then he could bring them to the Realm of Gods as well, completing his small family.

"I can't," Ezekiel answered, to Gabriel's surprise. "If I could, I would've brought my own family back to life..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the darkened sky. His voice sounded very desolate and ancient, as he continued, "Life and death... It is beyond my control..."

"Then how did you..." Gabriel frowned, looking at the Beast Monarchs in the distance. All of them were dead previously, but now they are all alive. It didn't make sense. 

"I brought them back because they were never dead," Ezekiel commented. 

"They were never dead?" Gabriel asked, frowning. "But I saw..."

"You're misunderstanding me. The reason they weren't dead isn't because I let them live. It's because they were never alive in the first place," Ezekiel vaguely explained. "Their existence... It's better if you ask your friends about what they are..."

Gabriel grew silent for a moment. His thoughts were filled with confusion. He tried to understand the meaning behind these vague words. 

"You are weak..." 

While Gabriel was lost in thoughts, Ezekiel suddenly chimed in. His voice didn't have a mocking tone. Instead, it was as if he was seriously speaking. 

"You are strong compared to an ordinary god. But if I were to fight back, you wouldn't last ten seconds," Ezekiel further stated. 

Even Gabriel felt that. Compared to Ezekiel, he was weak. Not just weak, he was very weak. He could hold back true gods or even kill a few. However, that was nothing in the grand scheme of things. 

"I don't know how strong that guy who sent you to the Abyss is. However, he should be much stronger than the gods you've faced so far. Do you think you can win against them at this rate?" 

Ezekiel was genuinely serious as he talked. He had lost everything in his life. There was nothing left for him. He lost his world. He lost his family. He lost all his emotions in the process, never to feel anything again. 

However, when he saw Gabriel, he could see some similarities between them. He didn't want Gabriel to make the same mistakes that he did. 

He was weak when he needed it the most. He couldn't protect anything when his family was killed in front of his eyes multiple times. He couldn't even finish his revenge without being sealed in the Abyss! Who could know better about the value of strength than him!I think you should take a look at

He knew how valuable strength was in life. He knew that weak people couldn't even control their own fate. If he had strength before his world was destroyed, maybe his fate would've been different. 

Since he saw his own glimpse in Gabriel, he wanted Gabriel to become stronger while there was still time! He knew how brutal this world was. 

Gabriel lowered his head. His fists clenched tightly. He knew everything was true. He knew that Ezekiel wasn't wrong. He had also noticed it long ago. 

Back in the Upper Realm, he thought he was stronger. However, he now realized that he had only scratched the surface. 

Ezekiel slowed down, glancing back at Gabriel. The sense of realization... That feeling of weakness... This was the same emotions he felt when he was left to rot in the world after his family was killed. 

He reached out his hand, toward Gabriel's head, lightly patting him. It was similar to how his own father used to pat him when he was little. However, he stopped his hand before touching Gabriel's head. 

After slightly hesitating, he retracted his hand. 

He turned his back on Gabriel, and continued walking. However, after a few steps, he let out a single sentence. 

"Be ready. From tomorrow, I'll personally be training you. I can't have my savior be so weak..." As he finished speaking, his figure disappeared, leaving Gabriel behind. 

Gabriel raised his head, looking at the empty spot. Ezekiel was going to train him? This was surprising. Ezekiel was someone who was crazy for revenge. 

He thought he was going to chase after the gods right away, until eternity. However, instead of chasing after them, he was going to train him? It was as if Ezekiel wanted him to be there when they killed the Gods who took everything from them!

Gabriel's thoughts remained confused. The more he got to know Ezekiel, the less he understood the man...

****

Far far away from the Realm of Gods, there existed a World at the corner of the galaxy. 

The world was completely desolate with not a single blade of grass growing there. However, the ground was still covered in blood. Many skeletons could be seen all around the world. 

It was as if a massacre had taken place in the world a long long time ago. 

The Barren World had been completely desolate with not a single person living there. However, finally after what seemed like an eternity, there was some movement.

A portal opened in the middle of the desolate world and a Demonic Figure stepped out of the portal. 

His long dark robe remained still as there was not the slightest trace of any wind. Even after so long, the stench of blood was still so eminent.
