HOLY NECROMANCER: REBIRTH OF THE STRONGEST MAGE

191 Chapter 191



191 Chapter 191: The Final Battle: Cylix (I)

[Two days later]

Gabriel and Cylix stood in a field that was specially made for their battle. Today was the day of the battle since Gabriel had managed to master all the spells they had to teach him. Not only did he master them, but he did that with such perfection that even the two Founders couldn’t find any flaws.

“I’m asking you one last time. Do you want more time to train? You don’t have to hurry with this battle!” Even though Gabriel had learned all the spells, Cylix still wanted him to take more time to get some more practice.

Gabriel, on the other hand, refused the offer. He had learned the spells that he needed to. As for practicing the spells… He didn’t believe they were going to change much for him since he had already practiced enough, according to him.

“I am ready for the battle now.” Gabriel declared.

He was already given the Soul Healing Pills after Gabriel managed to win the bet. Cylix was happy that Gabriel was so impressive, but at the same time, he was quite upset that his spell was proven to be even easier to understand than Novius’ spell.

Cylix could still remember the laughter of Novius. For a mage, their spells were their child, especially the ones that they created from scratch.

The more complicated and harder to grasp a spell was, the better it was supposed to be according to them since it meant more complex elemental laws were used in their creation.

By learning his spell faster than Novius’ spell, Gabriel had proven which one of them was harder to grasp for him, which was a proud victory for Novius.

After that loss, Cylix was silent for quite some time before he regained his usual composure. After two days, he had almost forgotten that incident, even though not entirely. Now his entire focus was on the battle with Gabriel!

Today was the day that they had been waiting for over a century! It was the day when they might get the freedom they ever so craved. That all depended on Gabriel and his strength.

Even though they were hopeful that he might achieve it, they knew that the chances of their victory were more, and to stand by their morals, they couldn’t go easy on him.

In the entire field, only Gabriel and Cylix were standing. As for Novius, he was standing outside the battlefield, observing the battlefield.

His fists were tightly clenched. He also looked slightly nervous. He was feeling so many emotions at the same time. On one end, he was excited at the possibility of being free from this cursed tower. On the other end, he was scared of Gabriel’s failure. If Gabriel couldn’t win, it was going to bring all their hopes crashing down.

“Best of luck, young man. Make your masters proud!” he spoke in a barely audible voice that no one on the battlefield could hear.

A bright sun rested in the sky, covering the entire world in its sunlight, also making the temperature really hot. In this heat, two Mages decided to fight, both using the same elements.

“I’ll give you the first attack opportunity. Show me what you’re made of.” Cylix placed his hands behind his back and gave Gabriel the first opportunity to attack.

The battle had finally begun with his attack invitation. However, for some reason, Gabriel didn’t attack.

“I reject the invitation. I want you to attack first,” Gabriel responded, thinking of something. The distance between them was too much. To attack first, he had to take the first step, which was quite a risky step in this battle.

It was a battle in which both sides knew the moves of the other side. It was like the checkers where the two opponents could reach each others’ minds and wanted to prompt them to attack first. Unlike in games, there was no first move advantage in a battle against a senior.

Cylix received the same offer that he gave, which made him smile. He wondered if Gabriel realized what was going to happen if he had moved first.

“Alright. I will take the first step myself!” Cylix stretched his arms as he started walking to Gabriel. Surprisingly, he was walking so slowly that it looked like he was taking a walk in his personal garden.

Because Gabriel didn’t have a proper and powerful High Tier Staff of Light, Cylix had decided that none of them were going to use any Staff. It was a battle of the mages and not their equipment.

No one was allowed to use any Numens either, which was kind of a disadvantage that was placed on Gabriel since he had most Numens here.

Watching Cylix walk closer to him, Gabriel started casting some spells on himself.

“High Strength.”

“High Speed of Light.”

As he wanted to be able to react fast and have the strength to control his body beyond its capacity, he cast booster spells on his body, investing his physical strength, defense, speed, and other characteristics.

The spells that he cast weren’t the old weak booster versions. Instead, they were the same spells that Cylix taught him. Strangely enough, Cylix hadn’t cast these spells on himself.

“Vision of Eternity.” Gabriel cast another spell to further protect his vision against the illusions.

The light was one of the most versatile Elements, which had multiple uses like crowd control, illusion, healing, sabotage, and many more.

Amongst the spell that Gabriel was taught, the spell that concerned him the most was one of the Illusion Spells, which he believed could easily be used to make it impossible for him to see the real enemy. He made sure to stay one step away from this trick.

Cylix noticed every spell that Gabriel was casting, nodding in satisfaction. “You aren’t making any rookie mistakes. However, that much won’t be enough.”

Finally, after Cylix was within five meters range of Gabriel, he finally cast his first spell. “High Speed of Light…”

As soon as he cast the spell, his speed increased multiple folds. Within the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Gabriel, leaving barely half a meter of a gap between the two.

“Surprise.” Beautiful golden light surrounded his fist as if creating a Gauntlet.

With his entire strength behind it, Cylix punched. Even though he had the advantage, he didn’t want to hurt Gabriel seriously in the first attack itself, which made him resist using the strength booster.

He knew that Gabriel probably expected the bigger spells to be used, which left him open for the most basic of spells.

When one aimed too far, they often couldn’t see what was right next to them, and he believed Gabriel was making the same mistake.

“Huh? What?” Cylix expressions changed.
