Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

 "Maybe time is the only thing that knows the answer," he added as he stopped thinking about the future for now.

Instead, he changed the topic. "I came to tell you that I am close to finding the sword."

Janus raised his head, hearing Ryder\'s statement.

....

It was early morning. Throughout the night, Karyk, Gabriel and Aliac had remained awake, while sending everyone else to sleep.

All three of them knew that they didn\'t have much time. They had to take back the Central World to establish a connection with Elzeira.

After discussing throughout the night, they finally had a rough idea on what they had to do. According to the plan, Karyk and Gabriel were going to enter the Central World.

The two of them were going to kill the men of Sea King who were protecting the Portal. It was only after they regained control of the Central World could the plan move forward.

Aliac wanted to go with Karyk and Gabriel as well, however in the end, he was rejected.

Karyk told him that he had to stay behind to keep an eye on Zena and the others. Moreover, there was another reason he didn\'t want Aliac to come.

He was taking Gabriel with him to test if the sword he created could actually kill Elzeirans.

He hadn\'t even told Aliac that he could create such weapons. It wasn\'t because he didn\'t trust Aliac with this information. However, the less people know, the better.

He also knew that Gabriel needed to get accustomed to using this weapon. In the war that was to come, both of them had to become stronger so at least one of them could survive even in the worst case.

"Fine. I won\'t accompany you. But what about Ryder? He might be of help to you. If you take him with you, you won\'t have to worry about the safety of Zena and others either," Aliac suggested.

In response, Karyk shook his head. Although he didn\'t trust Ryder, he also didn\'t want to take him with him. There were a few things about that man that he found suspicious.

He knew that Ryder wasn\'t going to harm Zena and others before their deal was finished. However, just in case, Karyk had taken precautions.

He had placed some Royal Elzeiran Undeads in Zena\'s shadows. This time, not even gods could stop her from leaving if her life was in danger.

"It won\'t be needed. We will handle the rest," Karyk exclaimed. "You just need to keep an eye on them."

"If you say so." Aliac, although confused, nodded.

He wasn\'t sure if just the two of them could take care of the Central World which was filled with the underlings of the Sea King. However, compared to what was to come in the future, this was indeed a small test.

"When he comes downstairs, you can tell him that we have gone to the Upper World to regain control over a portal. You can go through the remaining plan that we discussed with him."

Karyk stood up after explaining all the minor details to Aliac.

He walked towards Zena\'s room. He opened the door carefully, noticing Zena who was sleeping peacefully. There was another barrier around her that had been cast by Gabriel.

Both of them had been protecting her in their own ways.

"While we\'re busy in the Central World, you can take his help to train the people you have gathered," Karyk said as he created a Spatial Portal before him.

Aliac nodded. He didn\'t know why, but he found it somewhat strange. For centuries, he had been known as the strongest being in this universe, but within just a few months, he had met so many people that became stronger than him.

Just in this group alone, he felt that Ryder and Karyk were somewhat stronger than him. As for Gabriel, he couldn\'t even see through the young man to judge his strength as Gabriel hadn\'t revealed his complete strength yet.

It was clear that the four of them were the team that formed the resistance to Elzeirans. At first, he thought he was the leader of his team. But as more time passed, he realized that there was actually no leader in his team. Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

All four of them tried their best to protect their home in their own ways. All four of them did what they preferred or what they thought was right.

In the end, even he wasn\'t sure what the future held for them. Was the leader going to emerge during the war? He wasn\'t certain.

All the powerful beings in Elzeira were invited to the Royal City. For that reason, the security of the Royal City was also strengthened even further.

A Royal Knight could often be seen inside the city. Not only did the Knights protect the place, but they even guided the guests.

Almost all the guests had the same question that they asked the knights.

"Why were we called here?"

Unfortunately, they didn\'t receive the answers from the Knights who simply told them that they will find their answers later.

Instead, they simply guided the City Lords towards the Royal Palace.

The City Lords were amazed by the grandeur of the Royal Palace and the intricate details of its architecture. Most of them had never been to the Royal City after all.

They had only heard about this place, but it surpassed even their wildest expectations.

As they entered the palace, they were greeted by the Generals who brought them to the throne room.

The city was huge. Even as hundreds of thousands of guests arrived in the city, it never felt crowded.

However, soon everyone\'s attention was attracted by a screeching sound that was coming from the distant sky.
