HOLY NECROMANCER: REBIRTH OF THE STRONGEST MAGE

Chapter 343 343: Avilia's Strength!



After Eliana entered the Church, Avilia turned around and started leaving. Everything else was now on Gabriel’s shoulder. She understood that if she stayed there for longer, sooner or later Izen was going to realize that she was waiting for someone.

Another problem was that she believed that as long as she didn’t leave, Izen wasn’t going to leave either. Just like her, that man was going to keep an eye on the Church and if Gabriel happened to come out, he was going to be recognised.

She left a small shadow behind to keep an eye on the Church and left.

With a Holy Priestess roaming around in the city, Izen couldn’t rest easy. The woman had enough strength to cause a large-scale destruction after all.

He had to accompany her to make sure she didn’t create any problems in the city. He followed behind the young lady as if he was a cop who was following a thief to make sure that the thief couldn’t steal.

“How long are you going to follow me?” Avilia asked after walking for a few kilometres. Even though her initial intentions were to make Izen follow her subconsciously to drag him away, she still had to show some unwillingness to make Izen feel as if she didn’t want him to follow her.

“How long are you going to stay in this city?” Izen asked in return. The answer to Avilia’s question was clearly hidden in his question.

“Am I not allowed to walk in the city without supervision?” Avilia coldly asked.

“Don’t take it the wrong way.” Izen shrugged. “With your strength and your notoriety, it’s only fair that I keep an eye on you to avoid any future troubles. If you want to roam freely, you are welcome to go to other cities and I promise I won’t follow.”

The Academy had already suffered heavy damages in recent weeks. They couldn’t afford any more damages, especially related to Avilia. If Avilia caused any large-scale destruction in the city, the Royal Family was going to be hard pressed to deal with that.

With the expenses of repair that were going to pile on, there was no way the Royal Family could afford to help the Academy with Spirit Crystals. In essence, the reason Izen was keeping an eye on Avilia was less because he wanted to protect the City and more because he wanted to protect his own interests.

The Holy Priestess of Summoning stopped in her tracks and turned around, looking straight into the eyes of Izen. A mysterious energy covered her entire body as a two kilometre wide Summoning circle appeared above her head in the sky.

“Also, what gives you the impression you would be able to stop me if I want to try something?”

Avilia’s voice was cold and emotionless. However, it was also filled with authority as if she really was a deity looking down on all mortals.

“Izen, you might be strong, especially with that Robe of Nullification, but it would do you good if you don’t overestimate yourself. Your robe is nothing before me since my Summons can’t be affected by your robe,” she reminded the man in front of her. “If I want, I can crush you under my feet in the next three minutes. So you better stay out of my way and not give me a reason…”

A terrifying aura spread in the surroundings. For a moment, time seemed to have stopped as silence spread…

Gabriel had entered the Church of Light and he was being escorted by the old Head Priest. However, the Head Priest stopped mid-way, turning around, gazing at Eliana who had also entered the Church.

“I didn’t expect her to be interested in the position as well.” He walked back to the young lady after telling Gabriel to wait for a few seconds.

Gabriel also stopped and looked back. He was immediately surprised to see Eliana in the distance. The woman looked like a young girl who wasn’t even a proper adult yet. However, underestimating her was the biggest mistake anyone could make.

When he was at the Academy, he often interacted with her and knew that she wasn’t an outright bad person. However, she wasn’t flexible either.

Gabriel watched the old man discuss something with the young lady before he brought her with him as well. Amongst all the Light Mages that came inside the Church, most of them were accompanied by Holy Priests who were only there to maintain order. Only Gabriel and Eliana were accompanied by a Head Priest personally.

The old man brought Eliana to Gabriel. He didn’t bother introducing both of them as he himself didn’t know Gabriel’s name at the moment. He just told the two of them to follow him and not to get lost.

Eliana followed the old man deeper inside the Church of Light, walking next to Gabriel. She didn’t know why, but she felt a familiar feeling from Gabriel. She just didn’t know what it was.

“Have we met before?” she asked, trying to remember if she ever saw the young man before. Even though she couldn’t remember seeing that face before, but as time passed, that strange feeling of familiarity was getting stronger.

“I don’t think so,” Gabriel answered, not even looking at the lady next to him. “It’s my first time in Lumen.”

“Where are you from then?” Elina inquired. Usually, she wasn’t the one to talk much. She couldn’t care less about the people around her. However, she really wanted to know why she felt so familiar.

“Yann.” At this point, Gabriel had been too lazy. He didn’t even make a full sentence. From that point on, no matter what the young lady asked, his answers ended in only one sentence.

If others were to see their conversation, they would’ve genuinely believed that Gabriel was an arrogant man. However, Eliana didn’t notice it.

In the end, Eliana could only stop asking questions. Even though Gabriel answered all her questions, she still had no idea why she felt familiar to him. According to his answers, they couldn’t have met before.

‘Was I really wrong? But he really feels familiar. It’s as if we really met before. However, his face… I can’t recall. Wait… Could it be that he’s using an illusion? Is that why I feel familiar but can’t recognise his face?’π—‡π—ˆπ’±π‘’π₯π‘›π–Šxt.π’Έπ‘œπ“‚

Eliana immediately looked at the hands of Gabriel, trying to see if he had the ring of illusion. Fortunately, in Gabriel’s illusion, he made sure that no ring or gloves could be seen.

Eliana couldn’t find anything strange in his hands either. However, her suspicions still didn’t end. She understood that it was possible that the illusion could’ve erased the ring from being seen.

‘I have to hold his hands to know! No matter what illusion, before touch, all illusions fail!’

She didn’t know why, but she couldn’t let it go. If the young man was actually using an illusion, it reminded her too much of Gabriel who had robbed the Academy clean! And if he was the same man, she had to test herself!
