Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage-Novel

Chapter 759 Chapter 759: No return

Annihilation... It was a complete Annihilation. The High Council Gods were killed, unable to put up a fight, especially since Gabriel healed and joined the battle.

Not a single god from the High Council was left alive. Not just them, but even the Children of the Gods were killed. No one came to help them. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ (F)ire

Gabriel didn't know about the fact that even the Children of Gods were killed. He didn't even know that the villagers were part of Ezekiel's team. Ezekiel had kept him in the dark.

Still, Gabriei didn't feel bad. After all, these people came to help him when he needed it the most. It was unclear what he was going to think if he were ever to find out that these people killed even the innocent small children, just to remove every remnant of the gods.

No matter how much Gabriei hated the Gods, he probably could never get himself to kill the Children. At best, he would've taken their Divinity so they couldn't pose any threat to him in the future.

After dealing with the High Council Gods, he looked towards the Southern World, which was still shrouded in darkness.

He felt quite disappointed that he hadn't managed to kill Caen, losing his opportunity, but he was certain that Ezekiel wasn't going to miss this opportunity.

Since he hadn't sensed any attack of similar magnitude, it was clear that Gabriel hadn't attacked again.

He flew toward the Southern World, passing through the dark barrier of the world to help Ezekiel if needed.

As he reached the Southern World, he noticed Ezekiel standing with Caen's sword in his hand.

Behind him, there was another person, who was dressed similarly to those Villagers that helped him. The man was old, but he certainly wasn't weak.

What caught Gabriel's attention the most was Caen, who was on his knees, not even moving. It was as if he had come to accept the fact that he was going to die.

Ezekiel raised the Sword, ready to decapitate Caen. He swung his sword, only to stop the blade merely a few inches away from Caen's throat.

He looked above at Gabriel. "You came at the right time."

He gestured for Gabriei to come down. "Since you're here on time, I'll give you the honor. Come and finish your enmity with your own hands."

Gabriei landed on the ground, getting a better look at Caen who appeared to be in a bad condition. His skin had turned pitch black, and the darkness was spreading all over his body.

It was as if he was poisoned by something. However, even Gabriei didn't know which kind of poison could cause this.

Ezekiel stepped back after lightly pushing Gabriei close to Caen.

Gabriei stopped before Caen. The man who had pulled out his heart, leaving him to die... The man who had killed his sister and took the lives of his friends... The man who destroyed everything that Gabriel was looking forward to returning to. It was this man who he hated the most.

He wanted to kill Caen. He couldn't even remember for how long he had been thinking of this moment. The only thing that disappointed him was that he hadn't won the battle on his own. But it didn't matter. He wasn't going to let Caen live just for that.

Gabriel raised his Sword. He was finally going to get rid of the man he hated the most.

With a fierce determination in his eyes, Gabriel swung his Sword down towards Caen, his grip tightening as he reveled in the power coursing through his veins. The weight of his vengeance propelled the strike, cutting through the air with a resounding whoosh.

Boom~

A loud explosion took place as a powerful aura descended, sending Gabriei flying back. The Village Head was sent back flying.

He raised the Sword of Life that he took from Caen. The sword came slicing the oncoming attack in two halves. He didn't stop there, as a look of craziness flashed in his eyes.

He rushed toward Caen, realizing where that attack came from. It wasn't Caen's attack. It was more powerful, that left only one person... Janus!

A Portal appeared behind Caen, but no one came out from the portal. Only a hand came out, which grabbed Caen by the Collar and pulled him inside the Portal!

"You're not going anywhere!" Ezekiel entered the portal before it could close, but as soon as he entered, the spatial tunnel exploded, sending Ezekiel flying out.

Even in the Spatial Tunnel, Ezekiel had placed a trap, already expecting something like this.

Janus knew that if he fought here, he was going to put Caen's life in danger. Caen was already hurt, and a battle was the worst thing that could happen. For him, saving Caen was a bigger priority than the battle.

Ezekiel landed on the ground. His aura spread out. Unfortunately, he couldn't trace Janus.

Janus was a god who was a master of Divine passages, which made it already hard enough to locate him. But it became even worse because the spatial Tunnel had exploded, creating thousands of fragmented traces.

Gabriel also frowned, looking at the broken traces of space. He hadn't even seen the person who helped Caen. As soon as the portal opened, he was attacked, which made him focus on his protection.

One thing was clear. Whoever helped Caen was clever. He didn't go for a battle, and instead swiftly retreated after taking what he was here for.

Gabriel touched one of the spatial fragments, observing it.

"Who was he?" he asked Ezekiel.

"That wasn't Chaos. If it was him, you wouldn't have been able to block his attack. You would've been dead. That leaves only one person..."

"Should we search for him?!" The Village Head asked Ezekiel.

"It doesn't matter though. Caen won't survive. Even Janus can't save him now. When that happens, Janus should come for revenge."

*****

In an unknown place, Janus stepped out of the portal, landing on the ground with Caen in his arms.

His face was filled with concern for his nephew, whose life was hanging by a thread. The poison had spread throughout his entire body.

Janus tried to heal Caen, but he couldn't. His healing powers don't work on Caen. They only made the condition worse for some reason.
