Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

A new entity rose from the depths of the flames, made purely from the essence of death. Even the flames that reached the dark figure\'s body started dying. The floor beneath its feet turned black.

Karyk observed his new creation... A new form of undead. He had created something that didn\'t exist or was supposed to exist.

"This is how it should have been from the beginning."

The figure had a humanoid shape but it didn\'t have any other characteristics of humans. He did not have eyes but he could see. He did not have ears but he could listen.

"Mas...ser...," said the unknown figure in a broken manner.

"Kill all the servants of Angels that are in the city," Karyk commanded the undead and left the hall without sparing a second glance.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He didn\'t bother killing the Children of Heaven himself. Instead, he wanted to check something else. He wanted to check the place where he was born and the sacrificial altar.

He left the Library. Using blink, he appeared right before the Royal Palace, which looked just as abandoned as every other place in the city if not more.

He entered the Palace and walked along the same halls that he had walked in the past. He could see how things around him had changed with the passage of time. These hallways used to be kept absolutely clean. There used to be lines of guards all around. But now, the halls were as empty as the endless void itself.

Karyk went to the Banquet Hall where he had attended the Prince\'s Wedding. Some of the tables were still there as the ones who were supposed to move them had disappeared.

He walked over to the throne and looked at a ring that was lying right next to the throne on the floor.

"She died as well..." Karyk muttered as he picked up the ring that belonged to the Prince\'s mother.

Even as the people were devoured by the abyss, some objects were still left behind. They were the last remnants and the proof that these people ever existed. Karyk had always been looking for his real parents. Every time he thought he found them, he realized that he was wrong. But now, he had an answer.

He did not have parents, but the Prince\'s parents were as close as it can get to his parents. The Prince was what the abyss based its life on.

"If you hadn\'t sacrificed your son, I might not be here. I don\'t know if I should thank you for bringing me into existence or blame you for killing your own son..."

The ring in Karyk\'s hand started decaying, until it turned into dust, slipping out of

his fist.

"I can\'t even wish for you to have a good afterlife."

He turned his back on the ring\'s remnants and left the hall.

He went downstairs, reaching the area where not even the guards were allowed to be stationed. Only the Emperor was allowed to come to this place. This was also the place where the Prince and his father last walked together.

He stopped in front of the door that led to the separate realm inside the Palace. The door was still open, appearing like a portal to another world.

Karyk passed through the door and took his first step into the deserted land of his birth that had been extensively explored by the Angels after the calamity.

As far as his eyes could see, there was only blank sand in sight. Some footsteps were imprinted on the sand which had remained still for an eternity.

These were the footsteps left behind by the thief when he was taking Karyk away from the altar. Even after the passage of time, nothing much had changed about this place. It still looked exactly the same as that day.

The red sun was visible in the sky, but it appeared to have been split in two halves. Karyk walked to the Altar where he remembered the King to have died. "Hmm?" As he reached the altar, he noticed that all the pieces of the broken altar were missing. Someone had taken the remnants of the destroyed altar with them. He didn\'t have to think much to guess who could have done that.

The blood under the altar was also missing. Only an empty well was in sight. To be cautious, someone had created a sealing formation atop the empty well.

However, he wasn\'t here for the altar. He wanted to see the blood that had devoured the Prince, but he didn\'t expect to find that here in the first place.

The reason he came here was something else entirely. He looked at the place where the King had died during the calamity.

He wanted his hand. A gust of wing moved the black sand from the location,

revealing a ring buried beneath.

The ring flew into his hand. This was the storage ring of the King and also something that he wanted the most.

He looked inside the storage ring.

"It is there. That\'s good."

He brought an item out of the storage ring. This was the same item given to the Prince by the Angel on his birthday.

It was said to be an object that could create a path to the Land of Angels. Karyk wasn\'t able to feel this object in the memories, but now that he was unsealed, he could clearly feel that this was an extraordinary object.

It was brimming with the essence of space.

The King didn\'t want the Prince to use it, so he had taken it and kept it with himself. Thanks to that, it managed to survive.

Karyk could only imagine what might have happened to it if this gift had fallen in the blood with the Prince.

"We should go hunting more often. That was truly fun."

"What else can we hunt? We already killed every living thing in the sea. There\'s nothing left! That\'s why I told you that we should let some live!"

A dark figure appeared outside the gathering place of the Children of Heaven. From outside the building, he was still able to hear their words, but these words were insignificant to him.

He pushed the door open and stepped inside, leaving a trail of death with every step.
