Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage-Novel

Chapter 922: Inform Her

"Don't look atlike that. I didn't kill him," Karyk replied calmly. "I don't even remember coming across him."

"The ones I saw when I was leaving the Royal City were his Guards and his sister. And I didn't even kill them since I had no strength left after creating my Undead,"  he further added. "I'm certain that guy was alive when I left."

Karyk knew that there was no possibility that he had killed the Elzeiran Emperor. As far as he remembered, the Emperor was still alive when he left this world. That only meant that the Emperor had died between the the left and now. "Are you certain that he is dead?" he asked the Undead Sea King. "I saw the coronation of the Empress myself. It can't happen unless the Emperor is dead."

"Did they say that I killed him?"

"That..." The Sea King went silent. He realized that he was never told how the Emperor died. He had only assumed that he died during the attack on the Royal City. But no one had told him the same. "I just guessed that it might be you. But if it wasn't you, then who? No one can kill a pureblood except you."

"Unless he gave up his immortality. Then anyone could have killed him," Karyk chimed in. "Giving up his immortality? Why would he do something so absurd?" A pureblood never gave up his immortality, especially someone who had been training since birth to resist pain, no matter what. Only weak Purebloods who hadn't been trained and were scared of pain could do something so absurd, but the Emperor wasn't one of them. Karyk glanced at Gabriel. The Emperor had already given up his immortality to make Gabriel believe him. Although he had later betrayed him, that immortality was still gone forever. Without his immortality, it was possible for the Emperor to die. But even then, he had a lot of security around him. The Emperor had Shadow Guards protecting him all the time.

It would've been impossible for him to be killed, unless it was done by someone who was close to him. The only person who matched the description was his sister, the New Empress of Elzeira. "He had already given up his Immortality a long tago. So it isn't that shocking," Karyk informed the Sea King. "What do you think? Could his sister have killed him?"

"That's also impossible. If she killed him, the Shadow Guards would never let her ascend the throne, even if she was the last Pureblood."

The Sea King refuted the possibility sternly. He didn't even consider it. "Moreover, that girl had been obsessed with her brother. So it's impossible for her to do it."

Amongst the three, none knew how the Elzeiran Emperor died exactly. "Even though I don't know how the Emperor died, it doesn't change the fact. The Empire is still unstable because of his death. It is the best tto take control of the world."

The Sea King stated, acknowledging the opportunity presented by the current situation. As long as the Elzeiran Empire was defeated, he could regain his freedom, so he was more eager to finish it faster. Karyk could also see that there was merit in this suggestion. It was the best tto take action. With this, they could stop the war before it could spill to their world. "In that case, I want you to do one thing for me. Send a message to the Elzeiran Empress that you foundin the border city," he suggested to the Sea King. "What? You want to inform her?"

"Why else? It's to bring her where I want her to be."

"But... Why do you want to inform her? If you do that, you would lose the surprise factor. She will cprepared!"

The Sea King didn't understand what was going on in Karyk's mind. Why did he want to take the harder route by informing her instead of doing a surprise attack?

"Don't stress your head." Karyk placed his head on the Sea King's shoulder. "Do as I told you."

As he finished speaking, he walked past the Sea King, taking Gabriel who was still distracted. One of his targets of revenge was already dead. He felt like he was at a loss. "So what if the Elzeiran King is dead? Isn't it the girl who killed Ezekiel? She is still alive. So snap out of it," Karyk told Gabriel, taking him with him. There were still a lot of things for them to prepare for the incoming war. They didn't have much tleft. "That is true..." Gabriel cto his senses, not understanding why he felt so bad. Was it just because of revenge? It was true that the Empress was the bigger enemy for him after all. So why was he feeling like this over the death of the Emperor?

Although he hated the Emperor, it shouldn't have been enough to affect him this much? He couldn't help but look at his hands, wondering what was going on with him. "One of us needs to go inform Aliac and the others on earth. The more people we have here, the better."

Karyk stepped out of the Pirate's Mansion, looking at the beautiful sky. "If you go there, they might ask a lot of questions about your sudden changes. So, should I be the one going there?"

Gabriel glanced at Karyk, surprised that he wasn't sending him. Most of the time, Karyk was the one to stay behind while leaving minor things to him. Was he finally starting to give him the slevel of importance? He couldn't help but smile. They were truly becoming more like a family. "I will handle the rest here." Gabriel nodded as his wings spread. "I will start preparing straps around the Border City."

He soon disappeared into the sky, leaving Karyk behind. Twas of the importance and the tfor their final resistance was drawing closer. He wanted to have everything prepared before that tso they could be ready to greet the Empress.
