Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Ezekiel was stabbed by the woman, his life and death unknown. Ezekiel's eyes remained closed, his hands tied by the mysterious shackles as his body floated in the air, restrained by the woman's powers.

Even as the woman faced Gabriel, she still didn't let Ezekiel fall. Her purpose wasn't to just kill Ezekiel but also to bring his body back.

She didn't take the battle against Gabriel seriously. With the immortality that she had, no matter the opponent, she didn't have to feel threatened.

Janus didn't interfere in the battle. He watched the scene from a distance, his eyes filled with intrigue about the identity of the woman. No matter how she was attacked, she remained completely unharmed. It was an immortality similar to what he had seen with Ezekiel. No, it was even stronger.

He was certain that Ezekiel had something to do with the woman. It wasn't a coincidence that the two had similar abilities. But if they were on the same side, why did she attack Ezekiel? There were many questions in his mind.

"Huh?" Gabriel had been fighting the woman for quite some time, but it was just now that he started feeling something strange.

His body had become lighter the more he fought. There was a strange synergy between his movements, to which he remained oblivious.

He didn't realize that the reason behind this was Karyk. Although the two had their connection cut, something was still linking them. At the moment, Karyk had also started fighting the woman, and strangely enough, both their movements were completely identical.

No matter how long Gabriel was taught by Ezekiel, the thousand years of memories couldn't be overwritten. The fighting style of Gabriel still remained very similar to Karyk.

When Karyk attacked with a horizontal slash with his Sword of Death, Gabriel attacked with his Sword of Darkness. His movements were precise. He didn't realize as some traces of death also merged with his attack.

Previously, his attacks were only able to wound the woman. The wounds had been healing right away. But now, something was different. Although her wounds were still healing, but unlike before, she was now starting to feel pain.

She had trained all her life to become immune to pain. She couldn't even recall how long it had been since she felt pain, but with every attack that even managed to graze her body, she felt a pain that made her feel like she was bitten by a thousand poisonous ants.

"How can you make me feel pain?" The woman facing Gabriel asked at the same time as the woman facing Karyk asked in another dimension.

The same question came from both women, yet neither Gabriel nor Karyk answered.

Karyk wasn't just satisfied with hurting the woman. Although he could see that the woman had good healing, but he didn't believe in their immortality. With thousands of lifetimes that he had gone through, he had come to learn one simple concept.

Life was a privilege, but death was the reality. Life couldn't overwhelm death as death was supreme. The woman before him signified true life of eternity, while he signified death.

Life couldn't overcome death. Even the Ancient Gods had fallen in this world, killed by others. So how could someone like her be above the Ancient Gods? He was certain that it wasn't the reality. He believed that there was a way to kill her.

Although the woman saw his attacks as random attacks, trying to hurt her, but every attack of Karyk held a meaning. All his attacks were filled with precision, probing the woman's abilities. Moreover, with each wound that he inflicted on the woman, he sent a trace of death inside her body.

Even if a body was immune to poison, but if a person was poisoned thousands of times in an instant, then they couldn't survive. He was destroying her body without destroying it.

If her ability of healing was overwhelming, then he just had to destroy her without destroying her at once.

As seconds passed, Karyk's attacks became shaper and more lethal. His each attack left a deep wound. He had also understood the ability of the woman's spear.

It was true that her spear had a life of its own and she was close to perfect when it came to handling that spear, but there was still a big flaw to it. The biggest advantage of the woman was that her speed was incredible, but thanks to the spear, her movement had slowed down a little.

At the same time, her strength was high but compared to him, it was a little lacking. With her strength, Karyk was clear that she couldn't defeat him unless his strength ran out. He could clearly see her purpose.

She also knew she couldn't win in a short time, so she was trying to delay him with this battle. It was just as Aliac had described.

Unfortunately for her, Karyk had no interest in falling for her plans. He had finished studying her.

"On the count of three..." he sent a mental transmission to Aliac. Since the woman was focused on Karyk, she didn't read Aliac's thoughts at the moment and didn't know that Karyk even sent him a message.

Aliac received the message, his expressions flickering. He mumbled under his breath, "Is that even possible?"

"All your effort is futile. I'm a true immortal! I'm undying! You are only wasting your time!" The woman exclaimed even as she was being pushed back by Karyk.

"Nothing is ever undying before overwhelming strength," Karyk answered, his voice cold. As the Lord of Death, he knew what death implied. Even the Undying Soldiers that worked for him weren't really undying.

Although they could live for an eternity, but that didn't mean they were undying. It was only a matter of someone destroying them with overwhelming strength!

At that moment, his aura flared suddenly. The barrier of this world around the forest had constantly been trying to absorb his aura from his Sword, but even it was overwhelmed. This was the moment that Karyk was waiting for.

As his aura flared, the barrier that had already been weakened to the extreme, finally shattered.

In another place, Gabriel also prepared to give it his all. In his left hand, another sword appeared. It was the sword of life that Ezekiel had stolen from Caen, only to later hand over to him.

Karyk raised his Sword of Death, the barrier around the forest shattering into millions of pieces as a terrifying aura of death shot out from his Sword, creating a pillar of death which could be seen even thousands of miles away.

Gabriel also raised the sword of life, using his life force. Another frightening tower of aura storm was created around earth that even started shattering the space itself.
