Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

888 Chapter 888: A friend of mine

"May I ask what you're trying to do?" Karyk asked, releasing his dark aura.

The shackles around him slowly turned dark, cracks appeared on their surface before they ultimately shattered under Karyk's aura.

"How did you come here?" Aliac asked, surprised to find him here when he was supposed to be in Elzeira.

Seeing Ryder's reaction, he had thought that some intruder had arrived. That's why he didn't stop him from using the shackles. However, he didn't expect the intruder to be Karyk who had returned.

"Wait, how did you even find me here?" he further asked, realizing that it should've been impossible for Karyk since he was inside the barrier.

"Is he the person you were looking for?" Karyk asked, ignoring Aliac's questions completely.

He glanced at the man who stood behind him, dressed in a modern attire of earth with ordinary jeans and a white shirt. Even though the man was dressed ordinarily, his divinity couldn't be hidden.

Looking at the man, Karyk was still somewhat fascinated. Although he had seen the man in the memories of the person who helped him find this place, looking with his own eyes, he was still surprised.

What surprised him wasn't his strength but the person's face.

Most ordinary gods couldn't see the face of this man as there was an illusory mist around him. But someone like him was able to see through the mist. And this face... It was the same.

"How could you have the same face?" Karyk repeated, his gaze resting on the man.

When he awakened his divinity in the ancient temple, he had lived the life of many beings. Many of those Divine Beings were from the Realm of Gods where a deity named Chaos lived.

Although he didn't experience the life of Chaos, but he did see some of his journey through other people.

It was Chaos who had stopped Ezekiel the last time he attacked the realm of gods. It was also Chaos who had sealed Ezekiel inside the Abyss from where Gabriel freed him.

However, more importantly, it was Chaos who brought him out of the Abyss when he was just a child. It was Chaos who gave him some of his life essence, allowing his body to become accustomed to this strange world like he was a native.

If it wasn't for Chaos, he might have never been freed from the Abyss. He might have grown up inside the Abyss and maybe even died there, never seeing the light of day.

Not only did Chaos bring him out of the Abyss, he also gave him to a wealthy mortal family so he could experience a normal childhood without being caught amidst the struggle of gods.

If it wasn't for the destruction of his world, he never could've awakened his innate divinity. He would've forever lived an ordinary life of a mortal, being the Prince of the Dynasty and then becoming a king.

He had always thought that the mortal family was his blood family. But only after going through the awakening at the ancient temple, he realized that it was far from the truth.

He didn't know who his parents were. However, if there was one person in this world who could truly be called his father, it was Chaos. And strangely enough, the person before him looked just like him.

Ryder was also looking at Karyk. He had seen Karyk when he had killed the God of Lightning in his world. It was before he became a bigger threat to the Upper Realm.

At that time, he had come to learn that Karyk carried the essence of Chaos. He had even thought that the boy might be the son of Chaos. He soon dismissed that thought and let Janus handle the matters of his family.

It wasn't until he came to learn that there were four people in this era who were going to shape the destiny of this universe. And amongst the four, only one could live.

The remaining three had to die if one wanted to survive! One of those four people was the Son of Ryder, Nyx. The second was the son of Chaos, Caen. And the remaining two were Karyk and Gabriel... Both of them come from the same source.

When he saw Karyk here, he was surprised. For a moment, he even thought about killing him right away. Although he didn't want to take anyone's life, he had to save his son.

In the end, he deferred the thought with the excuse that he first had to see what this boy was truly capable of.

The moment Karyk entered his house, he used the most basic spell of entrapment, trying to see how fast the boy could break it.

Even if it was Aliac, he would've taken a few seconds to break something out this caliber. However, Karyk broke that in an instant as if the shackles were made from dry sand.

He also noticed something strange. He could see that Karyk possessed the divinity of Chaos, but there was something else as well.

Even he couldn't decipher what that something else was. It was a strange feeling for him. It was something completely foreign. It wasn't divine, but it wasn't demonic either.

Sometimes it was there, other times it wasn't there.Sometimes it felt real, other times it felt just like his misconception.

It was the first time that Ryder was at a loss. He was certain that the boy truly had a strange fate.

"If you two have finished observing each other, let me introduce you two." Aliac broke the long period of silence, realizing that they were interested in each other.

"This is Karyk, a friend of mine," Aliac first introduced Karyk. "He is an important part of the war that is to come. He is also the most important key to winning this war. As long as he lives, we have a chance to win."

"And why is that?" Ryder asked.

"Because he's the only person I know that can kill the Elzeirans!" Aliac exclaimed, surprising even Ryder.
