Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

160 Chapter 160



****

Pain… Terrifying pain… The pain of having their arm being sliced off when a person was in their spiritual form was something that could break anyone in the world as it was like an important part of their soul was cut.

This was the pain that even Gabriel had never felt before. He had been hurt many times in his life, including his soul being hurt in the dark realm, but this pain was just too much, even for him.

His mind couldn’t take it anymore as the pain overwhelmed his mind, bringing him to the edge of breaking apart. It was as if the pain Lira inflicted wasn’t enough; she tried to slice his other hand as well to teach him a lesson.

That was it… That was the moment when Gabriel found himself helpless. It was similar to what happened to him when Hawrin killed him. He was similarly tied and killed. His thoughts were too clouded, thanks to the pain that was almost on the verge of breaking apart his consciousness.

Even though the pain now was a million times worse than that, it was still like the history was repeating itself, completing a cycle. He was back where he started, trapped and unable to use any spells as a mage was close to killing him.

This time, the pain and the overlapping of memories were too much for him. Gabriel didn’t realize when it happened, but it was as if his mind shut down on its own to safeguard his consciousness from the pain.

It was as if his consciousness knew just what could happen if another similar attack was inflicted on him. His mind was going to break…

To protect him, it was like a safety mechanism was activated, which protected his consciousness by making him go to sleep. A strangely familiar yet different mark appeared on the forehead of Gabriel’s soul as his consciousness went to the safety of sleep. At the same time, his subconscious took over…

The World was vast, encompassing millions of unknowns. There were so many secrets in the world that no one had any idea about them. There were many incredulous myths and lores in the world that could neither be confirmed nor denied.

However, if there was one thing that everyone in the world could agree on, it was that a soul never bled!

It was something that was supposed to be an undeniable fact that even Lira believed until recently. However, all her beliefs were tossed aside as she saw Gabriel’s soul bleed.

What was even more surprising was that the blood wasn’t coming from any of the wounds that she had dealt to him. Instead, the blood was coming from his eyes as if they were tears of Blood.

As if a soul bleeding wasn’t shocking enough on its own, what made Lira even more taken aback was that her dark shackles that were keeping Gabriel hostage retreated on their own, as if even her darkness didn’t dare to get close to him.

The surrounding of Gabriel was still dark; however, for some reason, it wasn’t her darkness that was surrounding him. It was something else… Something much darker… Something much worse.

The tear of blood kept trickling down his expressionless face as Gabriel looked at Lira with lifeless eyes.

The tear of blood kept trickling down until it finally fell to the ground.

In the realm, which was only filled with darkness, a red droplet fell on the floor. However, as soon as that droplet touched the ground, everything changed.

A mighty aura spread out as if an explosion of Gabriel’s true aura was released… Even if it was just a fraction of it. The aura was so powerful that even though it was Lira’s realm of darkness, the wave of aura sent her flying back like a doll.

Even though it was just Gabriel’s aura, Lira was horrified for a moment. He hadn’t even touched her, and it was just her aura, yet her soul was damaged so badly just by coming in contact with his aura.

It was her Domain! She should’ve been invincible here, then how was Gabriel able to do it? Just what was happening to him?

As soon as the aura spread out, it wasn’t just Lira who was hurt. All the darkness that was spread throughout the realm of darkness turned blood red as if a blood red mist was surrounding them all.

Through her darkness, Lira could see everything, but this dark red mist made it impossible for her to see anything. She also couldn’t use the darkness of the realm for some reason. It was as if her Realm of Darkness was taken over by someone!

The aura from a single droplet of blood wasn’t something that was felt in the Realm of Darkness either.

It was an aura that was somehow felt through the entire World.

Novius and Cylix were really worried for Gabriel. They still couldn’t understand what had happened to him, but his condition was definitely not good.

There was also a moment when his condition was so bad that they thought he could die within seconds. However, fortunately, after that movement, his condition started recovering.

Just as they sighed in relief, a wave of terrifying energy came from Gabriel’s body as the same Mark appeared on his forehead, which was on his soul.

The connection between his soul and his body was once again established, and the Grimoire of Necromancy could finally sense Gabriel again, reaching him!

Even though the Forbidden Book of Necromancy was happy sensing this aura, there were others who were hurt.

Both Novius and Cylix were sent flying by the powerful aura. Both of them crashed on the wall in the back. The other youngsters in the hall weren’t safe either, as the aura also attacked them.

Even the Infernal King was sent flying by the aura explosion. He was also the only one who had a real body, which was why he was also hurt the worst as he started bleeding.

Unlike the dark aura from before, this aura didn’t seem to be affected by the difference in space. It didn’t weaken as it passed through one realm of the tower to another.

As the aura left the tower, it still had the same old intensity as it had when it hit Lira in the realm of Darkness.

All the Head Council Members were still guarding the tower from outside, so no one could leave their tower without them knowing. They had activated all the defense mechanisms in wait for Gabriel, but even they didn’t see that aura coming toward them.
