HOLY NECROMANCER: REBIRTH OF THE STRONGEST MAGE

146 Chapter 146



Even though Cylix and Novius were treating him well, for some reason Gabriel didn't like it. It made him feel weak... As if he was at the mercy of Novius and Cylix. However, he still wanted to have that fight and he wanted to be at his best for that.

If it took some rest for him to be better, that's what he was going to have.

"You said the Dark Mages outside were killed?"

Not long after Gabriel started eating, Novius asked.

"That's right. The Dark Mages are almost extinct," Gabriel answered as he continued eating. For some reason, he really felt hungry, even more than he ever felt before.

After using a High Tier Spell, he felt like he was starving. Moreover, the pill only made him even hungrier. It wasn't odd either since his body did need some strength.

"You said almost... That means some are still alive? So there are still dark mages?" Novius inquired.

"Of course there are. The element never died. Youngsters keep getting the Element of Darkness. But they are also killed right away. So I won't count them as being alive. There is only one Dark Mage who had managed to survive the initial phase of her Awakening and being hunted..."

"Who?" Novius asked. "You know that person?"

"We..." He didn't know how to describe Lira. She wasn't a friend, but she wasn't a stranger at this point either. He took a moment to find the right word. "We work together as we're both unorthodox mages by today's standards. Because of my element, I'm also not allowed to openly show myself without disguise..."

"If you're also hated like the Dark Mages, how did you get inside the Academy?" Cylix asked. "Isn't that supposed to be risky?"

Cylix and Novius were informed that the academy was siding with the Church of Light. If the Dark Mages and Gabriel were hated by the Church of Light, by association the Academy wouldn't have allowed him in either.

" I suppose that's what the ring is for..." He realized the truth after noticing the ring of Gabriel that he saw before.

Even though the ring of Disguise was useless before him, he understood that it could work outside. It could've helped Gabriel infiltrate the academy but still... Why would he take the risk?

"Did you sneak inside the Academy just to get inside the Tower?" he asked.

"That's right. I wanted to test myself inside the tower. Entering the academy was the only way for me to achieve that," Gabriel responded, swiftly lying. There was no way he was going to tell her that he entered the academy to rob it, and that the tower was only an afterthought.

"Hah, so only one person managed to get here after decades, and that person isn't even a student of our academy. The quality of academy students is really falling," Cylix let out a sigh. He hadn't seen a single student from the academy in all this time.

Moreover, the youngster who did manage to get here, he wasn't even a real student at the academy. Instead, he had bad blood with the Academy.

Gazing at Gabriel, Cylix couldn't help but worry about the future of the academy. The Academy was supposed to be neutral... It was supposed to be the light of guidance, which was to protect the weak and train the next generation.

However, instead of being neutral, the academy tilted in one direction, making new enemies. Cylix could see that Gabriel wasn't strong enough at the moment, but it was only a matter of time before he reached his true potential

He didn't know Gabriel's element. It was the first time he saw an element like this, and that's also why he wasn't able to gauge the full potential of this Element. However, he could feel that when Gabriel reached his true potential, he could become a terrifying storm that was impossible to stop. And everyone who stood against this nightmarish storm was going to be swallowed by it.

At the moment the Academy was standing against him.

'It I could leave this tower, I would've beaten the hell out of whoever is running the academy for all the wrong decisions. Unfortunately, I can't leave... I'm not even real but a figment of someone's consciousness. I can't change anything that happens outside.'

'However, it might actually be too late already... The academy had allowed it to happen for too long... It strayed too far from its path. Maybe it's the only way... They need a wakeup..."

While Cylix was lost in his own thoughts, Novius kept his focus on Gabriel. "If your friend has managed to survive, she must be a powerful mage of darkness as well."

He had thought that all the dark mages were extinct. He was quite relieved to know that it wasn't the case, and that there were still some who were alive, and fighting back. Moreover, now that they had the help of Gabriel, they could really have a chance.

Novius now wanted to help Gabriel even more since he liked him a lot. Gabriel was the only person who was siding with the Dark Mages. Moreover, if he was strong enough, he could really tilt the scales in the favour of Dark Mages so that their persecution could actually stop.

"She is the Holy Priestess of Darkness," Gabriel answered. "She holds the Grimoire of Darkness."

"Huh?" Novius was pleasantly surprised at the revelation. It was good that a dark mage was alive, but if that Dark Mage was the one who was selected by the Holy Grimoire of Darkness, that was even better! It meant there was really a decent chance for the Dark Mages to change the world outside.

"It won't be easy though," he commented, controlling his expectations. "On one side, there are eight Holy Priests and their churches with an army of mages and all the support. On the other side, there are two of you who have no one other than each other..."

"What is her name?" Novius inquired. "And how strong is she compared to you?"

"I'm afraid I can't tell you her strength," Gabriel kept Lira's strength level a secret for now, just to be safe.

However, he did tell her name. "As for her name; it's Lira Elisi."

As he spoke the name, he didn't forget to observe Qin's expressions since it was his last name.

"Elisi?" Qin raised his head, hearing the name. However, he soon lowered his head again. He was supposedly dead in the Academy. So there was no way he could be related to the girl. During his time, he was the last Member of the Elisi Family after all. He believed it was just someone with a similar name.
