HOLY NECROMANCER: REBIRTH OF THE STRONGEST MAGE

….

“Finally we are out of that place!”

A relieved sigh of Jia came from behind. She finally saw the end of that barren crack-filled land.

She had been walking for a long time. In fact, she had already started to lose hope about ever being able to leave this place. It was as if there was no end to that barren land.

Fortunately, after hours of walking, she finally saw the terrain change in the distance.

The new terrain was still as lifeless as before, but it was much better than the barren land as she could see some houses spread around sparsely. The land also didn’t have cracks the size of fists like the barren land.

“Wear it.” Gabriel’s face was still as calm and composed as before. He brought out two sets of robes and tossed them to the two people behind him.

It was clear that he was signaling them to wear the robes to hide their identity.

“Now I have a general idea as to where we currently are. I’ll send a map to your mind. It’s time we separate and start working on the plan.”

After Alion and Jia wore the robes, Gabriel turned around. He placed his fingers on Alion’s forehead, giving him the knowledge about what routes to take from here.

Jia was already informed about the plan and knew that Gabriel wasn’t going to travel with them. He didn’t bring them here to use them like a shield either, unlike her earlier expectations. In fact, with time, she had only realized that they were too weak to even be a shield!

In reality, the shield was Gabriel himself! The reason he told them that they weren’t going to come across the Blood Clan or the Nether Beast Clan was because those two clans were going to be chasing after him!

“Are you sure about this plan? It might look feasible, but it’s really dangerous,” Alion frowned, not leaving yet.

“That’s right. You want to draw everyone’s attention to yourself, leaving the Soul Region unprotected. That might be good for us to sneak inside without any trouble and save the ones you want to save. However, it won’t be easy for you.” Jia agreed with Alion.

She knew that Gabriel was strong now that he had awakened all his past memories but after hearing about the forces of the Nether Realm that could even make her Lord of Upper Realm hesitate to enter this place, she wasn’t sure if even Gabriel could pull it off.

Unlike her and Alion, Gabriel looked completely unconcerned.

“Don’t worry about me. There are still other things I need to do. You can leave. And make sure to follow the plan. As soon as you save the two souls, leave this place. I’ll leave when I’m done. So don’t wait.”

Gabriel didn’t explain much. He calmly walked away with his hands behind his back.

No one could see what he was truly thinking. Alion and Jia also didn’t understand if he really wanted to risk his life to save two people!

They didn’t realize that saving Cylix and Novius might’ve been one of the reasons for Gabriel to come to this place, but that wasn’t all. There was another reason which no one knew about.

Before long, Gabriel disappeared into the distance. His speed was much faster than Alion and Jia. It was as if he was moving more than the wind which could go anywhere instantly.

Alion remained standing in silence. After a long time, he sighed. “He never tells me what he truly thinks. Whatever, I’ll trust you like always.”

“Let’s go.” He tapped Jia’s shoulders lightly. They were not as strong as Gabriel so they couldn’t afford to be as high profile as the God of Death.

In fact, they had to travel without letting others know that there were more outsiders than one. Otherwise, the distraction wasn’t going to work.

Fortunately, the robes provided by Gabriel helped a lot. Unless they were really close to beings of the Nether Realm, no one could realize that they were outsiders.

*****

Unlike Jia and Alion, Gabriel didn’t move in a low profile. Let alone using a cloak to hide himself, he traveled more openly, as if he was taking a walk in his garden. There was no intention for him to hide himself.

Along the way, many people from the Nether Realm saw him. Most of them didn’t recognise him since they hadn’t lived long enough. However, it was clear to them at first glance that Gabriel wasn’t from this place!

Many even decided to kill the outsider after finding him. However, there were some who did recognise Gabriel… And what they remembered made them tremble. Their faces went pale, as if they were looking at a grim reaper.

They were the ones who were here a thousand years ago when Gabriel last came here! In fact, they were also like the others who had attacked Gabriel right away. However, things didn’t progress as they would’ve imagined!

That was the time when they saw how cruel Gabriel could be! The entire area was painted red in blood. The ones who remembered the past could still feel the bone-chilling fear that originated straight from their soul!

This was a similar fear that they felt whenever they saw the higher ups of the Three Great Clans of the Nether Realm.

They were much weaker than the ones in the core region. That’s why they lived in the outer layer of the Nether Realm. They neither possessed the strength to resist Gabriel, nor the courage!

They knew they would only be seeking death if they even tried.

The ones who knew about Gabriel hastily stopped the others from attacking Gabriel out of fear of offending him. In fact, it was much better to secretly inform the three great clans about this, than to personally get involved!

The others were surprised to hear about Gabriel’s past. They didn’t even believe that the man who looked so young could’ve been so scary. However, they didn’t insist on attacking him anymore. They couldn’t take risks.

Finally, everyone in the outer layer dropped the idea of attacking Gabriel, letting him progress.

At the same time, they also sent one of their own secretly to inform the Three Great Clans about the arrival of an outsider from the past!

Gabriel was walking in the distance, seemingly in no hurry. He already knew what was happening in his surroundings but he paid no attention to them.

Instead, it looked more as if he was trying to find something in the outer layer…
