Chapter 365 365: Who Are You?
For the next twenty four hours, Gabriel stayed inside the room, mastering all the new spells that he had received.
Even though he had already mastered an Origin Tier Spell before, it was different this time. With Necromancy, he felt as if it was a part of his body. Not only were learning Necromancy spells easier, but they were also easier to execute without any previous practice at all.
However it was different from the Element of Light. Even though he had the Holy Mark of Light, it still felt different, as if the Light wasn’t entirely a part of his body but an external help. Just learning the spell wasn’t enough and he needed to practise the spell as well.
He understood that it was time to leave this place. He also knew the best place to practise these spells. That place was also his real destination when he came here! He still hadn’t forgotten his original objective.
Before leaving the room, he still practised one spell which didn’t need a large space to practise. The spell was none other than the [Rebirth of Light]
After six more hours, he finally left the room, casting the Rebirth of Light around him.
The Rebirth of Light was an Origin Tier Spell. Because of that, it also consumed a lot of his spiritual strength every second. Fortunately, he had a lot of spiritual reserves to last for quite some time even while keeping the spell active.
Gabriel stepped out of the room. Just to be safe, he still hadn’t taken off his mask. He was quite curious to see the reaction of the Head Priests.
“W-what?” As soon as the Head Priests saw Gabriel step out of the room, they were shocked.
They couldn’t see Gabriel properly. Let alone see him, they had to struggle to even keep their eyes open. Gabriel was like the reincarnation of Light itself! His body was made purely of light! They didn’t realise that it was all thanks to the shield of aura that was around him now.
Not only did the Rebirth of Light spell give Gabriel a powerful shroud which hid him and his aura entirely, but that wasn’t all! If anything, that was just an additional advantage of this spell. The main advantage of this spell was that it gave Gabriel an even higher degree of control over the element of Light!
As long as he was using the Rebirth of Light, whatever spell of Light he used had twice the usual strength! His spells were more powerful and they were more in sync with nature.
There was one more advantage of the Rebirth of Light! In this form, Gabriel was able to ignore all the barriers. No matter how powerful a barrier was, he was able to pass through it easily, as if he was a ghost!
This spell was quite bizarre. It wasn’t an offensive spell or a defensive spell. If anything, it was an auxiliary spell which boosted his other skills. However, despite that, this was the spell that Gabriel liked the most!
Seeing the Head Priests’ stunned expression, Gabriel was quite pleased. It was clear that the spell was working.
“Where is the Ancestral Staff of Light?” he asked the Head Priests.
The Head Priests initially couldn’t even confirm that the person before them was Gabriel since all they saw was a person made purely of light. However, Gabriel’s voice convinced them that he was the same person.
“My Lord, this form… It’s…?” Qian curiously asked.
“I’m just testing a new spell. Don’t think too much about it. Just take me to the Ancestral Staff,” Gabriel responded as he told them to hurry up. He didn’t want to waste the duration of this spell since it consumed a lot! He still had to reach his destination while keeping this spell active!

A short time later, Gabriel finally stepped out of the Holy Church of Light.
As he left, he didn’t expect the huge commotion he was going to cause. When the people on the street saw him, under his mighty aura, they immediately dropped to their knees.
The spell that Gabriel was using for a basic disguise was so powerful that just the aura in this form alone could push an ordinary person to their knees subconsciously.
Two beautiful wings appeared behind Gabriel as he flew straight into the air. He had already informed the Church of Light that he was leaving for a short time to practise outside.
The Church tried to convince him to stay behind, saying that they could help him train but Gabriel didn’t listen.
The Church didn’t even know where Gabriel was going. They didn’t dare follow him for the time being and just waited for him to return. In any case, they weren’t worried that he was going to just run away! Who could dare abandon such a precious position after all!

On the other side of the City, Gabriel landed at the entrance of the Academy of Elements, gazing inside. It was his second time being here.
The two guards who stood at the entrance, guarding it were covered in sweat as soon as they saw Gabriel. They didn’t know who the person was! They couldn’t even see through the bright aura of that person at all! However, they knew that the person was certainly strong!
“M-may I know what brought Senior here?” One of the guards respectfully asked, lowering his head slightly. None of the guards dared to point their weapons at Gabriel.
“You don’t need to know. Someone will be here soon enough.” Gabriel stood in silence. He could easily enter the place, but he didn’t need to. Now that Izen couldn’t recognise him, he believed he was in a much better situation.
Not long after Gabriel finished, the two guards saw more bright beams of light in the sky. A few seconds later, Izen landed on the ground before them, facing Gabriel
The other Head Teachers also arrived next to him, all looking at him with hostility. It wasn’t often a powerful stranger came to their doors after all. Fortunately, they could sense that he was a Mage of Light, thanks to the bright aura that was surrounding Gabriel.
Strangely enough, even they couldn’t see through that aura!
Izen tried to use his special skull to peek through that shield of bright aura to see the real face of Gabriel.
In the end, he closed his eyes, feeling pain in his eyes. No matter what, he couldn’t see through Gabriel’s aura shield. He knew that if he tried to force his way, he had a small chance of being able to see through. However, that also meant that he was going to suffer a heavy backlash and injure himself.
“Who are you?” he asked, frowning.
