Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage-Novel

Chapter 886 886: The answer you need

Aliac paused for a moment, his eyes narrowing as he ssessed the man before him. The threat didn't seem to faze him. Instead, a small smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

"You wouldn't dare," Aliac retorted, his voice filled with confidence. "You may be powerful, but you know that I have something you want. Something that you need."

The man's expression remained impassive, but there was a flicker of curiosity in his eyes. "And what might that be?"

Aliac took a step closer, his voice dropping to a low, persuasive tone. "Knowledge. Secrets that even you don't possess. I can give you the answer that you've been searching for a long time."

"And what answer would that be?" The man asked, his voice turning colder.

"The whereabouts of Chaos." Aliac smiled. However, as soon as he finished, he felt a gust of wind fly past him.

In the next moment, a sword was aimed at the back of his neck. "I would advise you to be very careful with your next words."

"Ask away," Aliac replied, not moving in the slightest.

"How do you know I've been looking for him?" the man asked, the tip of his sword merely a few inches away from Aliac's neck.

"Although I didn't leave the Upper Realm, it didn't mean I didn't have the ability to gather information. You think I wouldn't know someone as significant as Chaos..."

"The revels from Heaven had entered the Upper Realm after losing to Chaos when they went into hiding. I cto know a lot of things thanks to them. Things about Chaos and... you."

"In that case, why did you pretend to not know me?" the man asked, removing the sword.

His Sword disappeared as he walked back to the chair in the distance.

"Because I didn't have to," Aliac answered. "I didn't want to remind you about your past. I thought we could simply focus on the future to save this universe. But since that deal fell apart, I can only make a deal with you."

"Even if I believe that you know about me, why would I believe that you know his whereabouts? Even Janus couldn't find the location of the sword in which the two of them were sealed after their fight." Read Web s Online Free - Fire Fire -

The man picked up the glass of wine from the table, waiting for the man's answer. "If you're thinking about using this bluff to makeside with you, the consequences might be even worse for you."

"I don't need to bluff. I know the location of that sword," Aliac said. "However, I can only tell you if you agree to help me."

The man's interest was piqued, but he still maintained his distance. "And what do you want in return?"

Aliac smiled, his eyes glinting with cunning. "Your help. I want you to help us win this war. Once that happens, both of us will get what we want."

The man considered Aliac's proposition for a moment before finally nodding.

Although he didn't want to join this mess, he had to find the location of the sword that was said to be lost in the Abyss.

Even after searching for years, Janus had failed to find any clues about that sword. It was as if the sword had simply disappeared in thin air.

.....

"This seems to be the place." Karyk stepped out of the portal, noticing the presence of a strange energy barrier in the distance.

The entire area was said to be owned by a single person. There were multiple grand mansions spread throughout the area, making it appear like an ordinary luxurious neighborhood. However, it was anything but ordinary.

Karyk could see that all the mansions were created strategically. Karyk hadn't even passed through the barrier yet he could already feel many eyes on him.

On the roof of the mansions, there were a few figures keeping an eye on them.

Just a few steps forward and it was impossible to use teleportation even for him. It was clearly a barrier that was on the slevel as the High Council of Gods.

"It might be dangerous from this point onwards since we don't know what kind of person Aliac is meeting," Gabriel stated, also noticing the presence around them. "I'll stay with the others. If things can go wrong, I can take them to safety."

"That would be for the best." Karyk nodded. "I'll go meet Aliac then."

He approached the barrier, keeping his guard up. As he got closer, he could feel the energy crackling in the air, indicating the power and strength of the barrier.

If a mortal was to pass through the barrier, he wasn't going to feel anything. But if someone like him with Divinity was to pass through, they were going to find it more painful.

The stronger a person was, the harder it was for them to pass through the barrier as long as they didn't have the bloodline of the owner that cast the barrier.

 With a deep breath, he stepped through the barrier and entered the wealthy part of the city.

Strangely enough, he was able to pass through the barrier without feeling the slightest bit of pain. It was something that should've been impossible as he was a stranger to the owner of the barrier.

He couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with the barrier.

Walking through the beautiful neighborhood, Karyk couldn't help but feel a sense of intrigue.

Each mansion exuded a strange aura that was different from the last. He followed his instincts, leading him to the grandest mansion in the area that was said to belong to the other of this place.

....

"Looks like a new guest has arrived."

Back in the mansion, Aliac was in the middle of finalizing their deal when Ryder frowned.

He waved his hand, creating a small portal before him. In the portal, he could see the image of the person that had passed through the barrier.

"It's... him?"
