Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Unfortunately, barely anyone who entered the City ever came out alive. Even the ones who managed to survive and come out, died a few days later without speaking anything about what they saw on the other side.

Let alone finding any treasures, even keeping their lives was said to be hard. With time, the people who went to the city of Gods decreased and eventually, barely anyone knew about that place anymore.

There were only a few maps existing currently which helped someone locate the city and navigate inside and they were sold like precious treasures.

One such map was bought by the Holy Priestess of Water Elora.

To buy just one map, she had to pay many precious treasures to Lambard and even with the map, she had no certainty that she was going to be safe.

Elora stood at the entrance of the Abandoned City of Gods with an old map that was carved on a beast skin which had turned pale yellow.

Despite the passage of years, the map was still intact. It was unclear just which beast skin was used to create this map but Elora had never seen such a beast.

Elora didn\'t come with many people this time. In fact, there were only two Head Priestesses accompanying her this time who were trusted by her the most.

Other than the two Head Priestesses, there was one more person who was accompanying them. It was a young girl, who appeared to be barely twenty years old.

The girl wasn\'t strong. Even though she also had the Element of Water, she had only managed to advance to a High Tier Mage, and that also thanks to the help of the Holy Priestess of Water.

The young girl stood right next to Elora, holding a small compass in her hand.

The needle of the rusted compass was turning all around, seemingly very unstable. However, despite that Elora kept looking at the compass occasionally.

"Maya, keep an eye on the compass. Since you\'ve managed to bind that compass to your soul, only you can use it. So make sure to warn us if the compass points at any danger," the Holy Lord of Water told the young girl next to her.

Even though she could\'ve killed Maya and taken the compass if she wanted, but she didn\'t do so. The compass wasn\'t that precious outside the Abandoned City.

The only purpose of the compass was to point to the dangers so that they could potentially avoid them and have a safer journey inside the Abandoned City of Gods.

Together, with the map and the compass, Elora had faith that they really had a chance of finding the secret behind the City.

Everyone knew that no matter how much strength you possessed, your safety wasn\'t guaranteed inside. It was proven by the death of Holy Lords who were stronger than Elora inside the Abandoned City of Gods.

What really mattered inside the city of gods was the awareness of the surroundings as well as a trace of luck to avoid danger zones that weren\'t marked on the map.

This was also why Elora had gone to the Academy of Elements to borrow a treasure to help her. Unfortunately, just as she had reached the Academy of Elements, the Academy was robbed by Gabriel right before her eyes and she couldn\'t get anything.

It was also because of that, she had to delay her plans and use all she had to catch Gabriel so she could retrieve the item and aid her journey again.

Unfortunately, she didn\'t succeed even after all she tried. Let alone succeeding alone, even the other Holy Lords suffered losses after losses when trying to go against Gabriel, especially the Holy Lord of Flames.

In the end, she had already lost hope of ever retrieving the item that could help her. Fortunately, at around the same time, she heard the news about a girl finding the Compass of Fate and binding with it.

As soon as Elora received the information, she instantly went to the Academy of Elements.

Without the protection of Izen, the Academy of Elements was like a place of great talent and treasure which was without a guardian.

Elora promised to help the Academy of Elements with the protection from the Church of Water in exchange for Maya\'s help during her journey.

Not only did she bring Maya with her, but she also taught Maya some spells and trained her with spirit stones so she could get strong enough to not drag them behind.

At that time, Elora hadn\'t thought that even she was going to be surprised by Maya\'s learning skills. Maya\'s awareness and willpower was much stronger than people of her own age which helped her learn faster.

Even though her spiritual strength didn\'t grow at the fastest pace, it was still a decent enough speed and with the help of her spell mastery skills, she had good potential in Elora\'s eyes.

It was only thanks to that, Elora took Maya as her student, establishing a master-disciple relationship.

"Yes Master." Maya respectfully nodded. Her entire mind was focused on the compass.

With how the needle of the compass was turning randomly, anyone could\'ve thought that the compass was broken but only the ones who were truly knowledgeable knew that when the compass was unstable, it meant there was no danger nearby.

Only when there were dangers nearby was the Compass supposed to be stable.

As the ground of four was still outside the city, even the compass didn\'t sense anything.

Elora went through the map once again, location the safest location marked on the map for the entry.

There was one road that led inside the Abandoned City of Gods which was made to enter. However, according to the map, that path wasn\'t what they were supposed to take.

Elora and the others entered from within a random direction, entering through a hole in the wall which was covered by large bushes. As the four entered the City, the outside returned to the old silence.

The four didn\'t realize that they weren\'t the only ones who had come here this time.

Not long after Elora\'s group entered the Abandoned City of Gods through the hole in the wall, two powerful auras arrived.
