Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Even though Gabriel had learned darkness quite a lot thanks to the usual spells, but even that didn\'t change the fact that he had just awakened the Element of Darkness and not like his natural elements.

Darkness was his forced element, so his comprehension related to darkness should\'ve been weaker as well.

He wanted to ask Gabriel if the young man had actually learned the spell, but before he could, he felt someone\'s hand on his shoulders.

Cylix was right beside him again, telling him not to interfere. "I know what you want to ask, but let him complete the spell. We will get our answers soon enough."

Even Cylix was intrigued if Gabriel actually learned the spell so fast.

A mysterious darkness started surrounding Gabriel as he cast the spell. The sky above started changing, turning slightly darker as if a layer of darkness was covering the star.

This world was under the two Founders\' control, but even without their permission, the world turned darker, thanks to the spell of Gabriel, which was just starting.

"He did get the essence right," Novius muttered, sensing Gabriel bringing out the darkness from the nature.

​ Gabriel gracefully raised his left hand after he reached the end of the spell without missing even a single word.

"Paradise of Darkness!"

As soon as he finished the spell, the darkness increased multiple folds. Up to a thousand meters of area around Gabriel was covered in black mist that made it impossible for anyone to see anything there except the Caster.

Paradise of Darkness was a Domain spell that changed the surroundings of a Dark Mage to something that was advantageous to him.

The dark mist around Gabriel wasn\'t just there to block the vision of the enemies. Instead, it was also working to weaken the enemy by corrupting their energy sources, stealing their energy.

It was said that the Paradise of Darkness was one of the best Domain Spells of its time, as it served multiple purposes. Not only did it reduce the mobility of the enemies, but it also weakened them by quite a lot.

"The spell that can weaken the enemies by up to twenty percent while increasing the strength of the caster by that much as long as the spell is in effect." Cylix seemed impressed at Gabriel\'s ability to actually cast this spell.

Since Cylix had seen Novius create this spell and use it multiple times, he knew almost as much as Novius about this spell, which also helped him see the flaws in Gabriel\'s spell.

He had seen what a perfect Paradise of Darkness was supposed to be like, and this wasn\'t it... At least not entirely.

"It\'s pretty good for a first attempt. The Domain is quite unstable though. He really needs to work on that. At this rate, he can\'t even keep the Domain up for-"

He couldn\'t even finish his sentence before the Domain broke apart and the world returned to normal.

Gabriel sat on the ground, tired as the spell broke apart. The Spell was definitely taking a heavy toll on his soul.

"No wonder it\'s a High Tier spell. I hadn\'t even reached the second stage of this spell..."

"Good attempt for sure... Even surprised us all. If that\'s your starting point, I have a feeling you really will be able to master this spell very soon." Novius reached out his hand, giving another Soul Healing pill to Gabriel so he could be ready for training again.

Gabriel at the pill, replenishing his soul once again before he stood up.

"Firstly, you don\'t need to be that tense when casting that spell." After Gabriel was ready for the lesson, Novius started teaching him all the mistakes that he was committing.

"I know that Darkness isn\'t your natural spell, but it\'s also not your enemy anymore," he stated, creating a few specks of darkness around them that looked like small planets that were encircling around them.

"If you want Darkness to protect you, you need to think of it as your friend and not just a tool. Darkness is a part of you now. You can\'t be hesitant when using it. That\'s where you\'re making the biggest mistake. If you\'re hesitating in fully embracing the darkness, that create a resistance inside you."

"And because of that resistance, it not only takes more spiritual energy to use that spell, but it also makes the outcome very unstable for use in any real situation. Once you remove that resistance and fear from inside you, you will know the true capabilities of Darkness!"

Novius stepped back, spreading his arms.

"Paradise of Darkness!" He cast the same spell to show Gabriel how it was done!

Similar to before, the sky was once again covered in darkness, but the range this time was much longer. The Dark Mist, this time, was even denser and covered twenty times more area than Gabriel had managed to cover.

The man walked through the mist, which moved aside to clear his path. "The Darkness isn\'t your enemy! It\'s not going to betray you! It\'s the friend that is always going to support you!"

As Gabriel saw the dark mist move aside for Novius, he couldn\'t help but remember the scene where flames were moving aside for the Infernal King, clearing his path. What fire was for the Infernal King was Darkness for Novius!

Both of them placed their entire faith in their element!

Gabriel had that same kind of trust for his Necromancy, but even he couldn\'t get that level of ease with darkness.

He was really hurt in the Prison of Darkness last time. He could still feel some of that pain which made him hesitate a bit since the Domain Spell reminded him a lot of the Prison of Darkness.

The subconscious hesitation wasn\'t so clear when he used some lower-tier spells, but when it came to high tier spells, it was noticed instantly.

"I know it\'s not easy to fully embrace another element right away, but when you do, you\'ll realize that this makes a lot of difference!"

"This Darkness is everywhere. No matter where you go, you\'ll find this Darkness there! If you can truly control it..."

The dark mist condensed behind Novius, taking a solid shape of a black cloak that wrapped around his shoulders.

Two Dark Gauntlets also appeared around his hands, formed from the same Darkness.

"This is the Paradise!" Novius declared proudly. "The Paradise of Darkness where I\'m the God! In this Paradise, I make the rules, and only I can break them!"
