Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage-Novel

Yoan had trapped Gabriel in his Flaming Prison, but imprisonment wasn't his main goal. His main goal was to crush Gabriel, sending him straight to the depths of hell. He couldn't afford to let a Dark Mage insult him like that!

Gabriel was inside the flaming box, shaking his head. After what happened on the hundredth floor, he wasn't looking for a battle so soon, but it seemed that these people weren't going to let him leave without a battle. 

"If that's the case," he muttered, calling out the Ancestral Staff of Darkness. 

"Paradise of Darkness." 

****

The entire space inside the Flaming Prison was filled with burning flames. Not even a mage with the strongest of defense could survive being burned to ashes inside the Flaming Prison. 

"See? It was easy. You were all worried for no reason. The Holy Priest, my foot," Yoan scoffed. "He was no less than an insect destined to be crushed under my foot!" 

"Something doesn't feel right." 

Unlike Yoan, Rem appeared even more concerned now as he felt a strange feeling. It was unclear what it was, but he was still able to sense Darkness. The only difference was that it wasn't coming from one direction. He could feel Darkness all around him as if it was everywhere.

The Spatial Entrapment Formation that the Academy used was a precious formation that cost a lot of effort and money to be made. The best Mages and Artificers were used to create this formation. 

Even running this formation was a costly affair as each minute it was active, the Academy had to use Hundreds of Spiritual Crystal. The formation worked by sealing the space inside the Academy so that no one could use Teleportation inside the Academy, but even the Formation wasn't without its flaws. 

The major flaw of this Formation was that it didn't work inside the Domains. In other words, the effect of this Formation was non-existent inside a person's Domain Spell range. 

Even though most people didn't know of this flaw or didn't have the Domain Spells, Gabriel wasn't in that league. 

As soon as he was trapped inside the flaming prison, the first thing he did was cast the Paradise of Darkness which wasn't an ordinary Domain Spell. It was the most precious spell of the Founder of the Academy himself. 

Inside the Domain Range, the Entrapment Formation was completely ineffective, which allowed Gabriel to leave the Flaming Prison without having to pass through the flames. 

Just as Yoan was celebrating his achievement, he heard a cold voice coming from behind him. 

"I'm afraid I spoke too soon last time... It seems not all of you will be there to see it when the time comes."

The Dark Mist covered most of the Academy, alerting even the students who were currently in their Dorms. 

"You?!" Yoan turned around, stunned to see Gabriel behind him. 

"Fireball!" He cast a spell right away in Gabriel's direction. Unfortunately, before his fireball could even hit Gabriel, the young man disappeared into the darkness like a ghost. 

"I'll make it quick," Gabriel stated. Strangely enough, it was unclear where his voice was coming from. It was as if he kept changing spots. One moment, he was on their next. Next moment he was right. He was everywhere!

"Whirlwind!" Lishen cast the spell of Wind to clear the mist. He couldn't stay out of the battle anymore. It was clear that Gabriel was a threat that they needed to stop! No matter how impulsive Yoan was, they had to support him. 

Heavy winds blew away the dark mist that was surrounding all the Head Council Members, only to reveal a ghastly sight that almost made Rin vomit. 

A pitch black spear could be seen coming out of the ground. Even though the spear was also made of the mist, it was solidified, unaffected by the winds of Lishen. 

What was more shocking was what was on top of the Spear! On top, there was Yoan's lifeless body, bleeding from his chest, which was impaled by the Dark Spear. 

Generally, the Dark Mist would've returned to cover the entire place once again, but not this time since Gabriel canceled the Dark Paradise. 

Eliana's face was already pale. She wasn't standing too far from Yoan, but even she didn't know how and when Yoan died. She didn't even hear a scream. It was as if right before Yoan was impaled by the spear, something had closed his mouth. 

The Paradise of Darkness was Gabriel's Domain, in which the dark mist was his soldier. It was a spell that even threw the Head Council into commotion. 

Eliana rushed to Yoan, destroying the dark Spear to bring his body down before casting a High Heal Spell. 

"It's not working!" She exclaimed, seeing the spell not working. It was too late already. Yoan was already dead, and even she couldn't bring the dead back to life... Death was permanent that even gods couldn't reverse... At least, that's what she believed. 

Yoan was dead.

"I can't sense his presence," Rem called out, unable to find Gabriel.

"I can't either. Did he run away?" Lishen asked. The Dark Mist wasn't returning, and the dark presence was also gone. None of them could feel the presence anymore. 

"The exit! He's probably trying to leave this academy!" Qin exclaimed as he ran toward the exit of the Academy. Since none could Teleport out of the Academy, that left only one path to escape. 

"Qin, wait! He's too powerful. Don't go alone!" Rem called Qin, but it was too late. That man was lightning fast and had already disappeared. 

"I'll go after him!" Xinci chimed in. "I'm sure Qin is right! That boy is trying to leave! We can't let him!"

Xinci raised her Staff, casting a summoning spell. "Come to me, Nature Wolf!"

As soon as she finished her spell, a dark red formation appeared before bed. From the formation, it was as if a door to another world was open, from where a twenty-foot-tall beast jumped out. 

The beast, which looked like a fierce wolf, had beautiful green fur. It was also known for its strong battle prowess and its great sense of smell which could help him find anyone as long as that person left behind some significant aura. 

And that Dark Aura was already in the air everywhere now. 

The Nature Wolf also ran toward the exit, carrying Xinci on his back. 

"I'm coming after you too!"

Only the Head Council Teachers went to the exit, while the rest of the teachers were told to protect the Dorms to make sure that no student was hurt. 

****

Against everyone's expectations, Gabriel wasn't really going to the exit. Instead, he went somewhere else entirely...

"Found you," Gabriel's voice broke the silence.
