Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 848 848: Making it my own

They had really underestimated Karyk. If he was someone that could kill a pureblood Elzerian, that meant things weren\'t as simple as they thought.

Just like Karyk, he could also directly contact the woman in the Celestial Dynasty. When the woman heard this news, she was also quite surprised.

"You are saying that he knew he could kill them?" she asked, hearing the complete description of how the events unfolded.

"That\'s what I believe. He already knew he could kill them," The Puppet Master stated.

The woman went silent for quite some time. If Karyk could actually kill them, that made her wonder about his intentions even more. If he could kill them, why did he need their help?

"Unless... In their world, he\'s the only one that can kill them?" she pondered, coming to a conclusion.

At the end of the day, if Karyk was alone, then even if he could kill a few of them, that still didn\'t make it an equal fight for him. The numbers were still against him.

She was able to understand a lot more about why he wanted more information about Elzerians and had the confidence that he could win as long as he knew everything.

"Keep an eye on him and inform me about his every move!" She told the hooded man, before the conversation stopped.

The hooded man nodded. He also didn\'t want to disappoint her. He had made up his mind that he was going to pay even more attention to his actions.

He didn\'t rest in his room. He stepped out to find Karyk. He wanted to see why Karyk took that General\'s body. At this moment, he wasn\'t naive enough to think that it was without reason.

....

In her palace, the woman was talking to herself. Her mind couldn\'t help but think about the implications.

"If he knew he could kill them, that means he\'s already killed quite a few of them."

She believed that there was no way that the Elzerian King didn\'t know about this guy\'s existence.

She even wondered if the reason the Elzerian King was finally preparing for another conquest was related to Karyk\'s existence. However after thinking about it, she dropped the thought.

For them to come across Karyk, they had to have sent someone to his world. And if they already did that, that meant they were already planning on it.

She wondered what was so special about Karyk\'s universe that the Elzerians were so eager to go there. Just what did they want there?

"No matter what they want there, I can\'t allow them to gain it. If they become even stronger, it might be the end of the Celestial Dynasty entirely. For now, Karyk is the only key I have."

Although she still had suspicions about Karyk\'s identity, she knew she had no other choice but to work with him.

....

The Puppet Master searched for Karyk. He went through many parts of the palace. However, there was one particular portion of the palace where he had no choice but to stop.

He could feel a barrier in front of him, that was blocking the path. He could break the barrier, but he believed that if he did that, Karyk was going to be alerted.

If Karyk was alerted, he could just stop what he was doing. Forcing his way there wasn\'t an option. It could only create more troubles for their cooperation that was already standing on a shaky foundation.

He gave up on his plans to spy on Karyk, at least in this moment. He could only return to his room, believing that he had a lot of time to uncover all of Karyk\'s secrets.

....

While the Puppet Master was returning, Karyk was sitting in his room. He had covered the entire area with his barrier as he didn\'t want any distractions.

Not far from him, there was the body of the General, a Pureblood Elzerian.

This was the only test subject he had at the moment. It was also the best test subject he could ask for.

However, before trying, he wanted to grasp the knowledge he had taken from the woman\'s memories. Although it was knowledge of great significance, but it wasn\'t something that was taught to him.

Instead, he had heard the teachings given to that woman. What she was taught was specialized for her own bloodline. He was different from her at the core.

He couldn\'t use the teaching as she did. He had to turn it into something that was more compatible with his own Law of Death that he had been using all his life.

Instead of completely erasing his own Law of Death to accept someone else\'s, he wanted to strengthen his own to encompass this world as well.

Accepting her knowledge while forgetting his own was easy. But modifying his own concept of death was much harder. Still, he had made up his mind.

He didn\'t want to be incomplete. Death was his eternal partner. It had been with him for as long as he could remember.

So, instead of severing ties with his familiar companion, he decided to embark on a journey to enhance his understanding of death and help his friend grow.

For the rest of the night, Karyk remained still. He deciphered every word of this world\'s knowledge that he had stolen. With that, he tried to find similarities between what he knew and what that woman\'s father had known.

Throughout the night, Karyk hadn\'t moved from his place. However the aura of death around him only became stronger. Some of that aura was even absorbed by the lifeless body on the ground.
