Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage-Novel

The entire Museum of Elements blew up. The surroundings were covered in dark blue flames. A smoke cloud could be seen in the sky

"This guy!" Gabriel exclaimed, hastily canceling his spell. He was slightly amazed at how much strength the Infernal Sorcerer possessed, but more than that, he was considerate about what this might lead to.

The Infernal King stood in blazing flames. There was not even a single burn on his clothes.

Surprisingly, he wasn't the only one who was still standing, as it was the same for the Head Council Members. They were also completely fine from what could be seen, but mostly thanks to Elora.

As soon as the Infernal Sorcerer attacked in anger, Elora called out her Ancestral Staff of Element of Water, sending just how dangerous these flames were. She didn't take any risks at the moment.

Right in the midst of the Flames, there was a barrier made from holy water, which was protecting the group from these flames. The spell was one of the Advanced Tier spells of Elora, who didn't hesitate even for a single second before casting the spell.

The Infernal King also noticed that they were still fine. He also felt a disgusting feeling from that water, not only because it was the element that was opposite to flames, but because it was Holy Water which was filled with the energy of life.

The Infernal King prepared to attack again, but before he could, a formation circle appeared under him. The Summoning Spell was canceled by Gabriel. A black light surrounded the body of the Infernal King.

"Rain of the Goddess!" In another place, Elora raised her Ancestral Staff, casting another spell to extinguish the flames.

By the time she cast her spell, the Infernal King had already disappeared, returning to the realm of Undead as he initially wanted.

The rain started lashing out, fighting against the flames. Fortunately, since the Infernal King was sent back, the fire lost its source and grew even weaker. Thanks to that, the rain was able to stop the flames quite quickly.

At the same time, Elora also removed the Barrier. "It seems he disappeared. Some kind of Teleportation."

Even through the wall of water, she had managed to see a spell formation appearing under the Infernal King and his figure disappearing before the rain came.

She wondered if he had run away, but at the same time, she had a feeling that it was something more.

From the way he attacked them, it didn't look like he was scared of them. Even though she couldn't see that person's face, just his actions alone gave her the feeling that he wanted to fight.

"We can't let him escape! Our Artifacts!" Qin exclaimed. "We need to find him! I'm going to have the city sealed! No one shall be allowed to leave!"

He flew away. This was a serious matter! The Academy was basically attacked! They couldn't sit idle! He left the Academy to get the entire city sealed, so no one could enter or leave without permission.

Hearing the explosion, the other Head Priestesses also rushed to the spot. Seeing Elora was fine, they calmed down. "What happened? Who attacked you?"

They were prepared for battle, wondering if the Mage of Fire from the Head Council had attacked Elora.

"No one attacked me. Someone attacked the academy." Elora answered. "All the Artifacts are stolen."

She turned to Eliana. "I think you should inform the Church of Light as well since this can't be kept hidden. Moreover, it's important that they know. I'll send a message to other Churches as well. This matter is bigger than you might expect."

"Did you sense it too?" Eliana asked. "It was a Mage of Darkness...."

"Yeah. Even though his aura was hidden in light, from this closeness, there was no mistake about it. At the core of his spell, I could only feel darkness," Elora agreed.

"A mage that has Darkness, uses fire, and emits an aura of light?" Xinci frowned. "Just what are we dealing with here?"

"I'm not sure, but it might be related to the sudden appearances of the Mages of Darkness throughout," Eliana answered. "It seems the Church of Darkness is really trying to make a return. First, killing a Priest of Light, then killing a Head Priestess of Water. It was like them sending a message before... A message about their return."

"As for the specific targeting of your Museum, the target was most probably the Ancestral Staff of Darkness. And now they have it, which is quite troublesome if true... If they need an Ancestral Staff, that would mean the Grimoire of Darkness has selected an heir long ago... And that heir is ready now... Ready to make a proper appearance before the world..."

As Eliana talked about what it could mean, everyone had grim expressions on their faces.

"I feel like the person we faced... He might be the new Heir selected by the Grimoire of Darkness, who came here personally to take his staff." Elora also tossed out an assumption, gazing at the dark clouds in the sky.

"What makes you think that?" Yann asked. "Also, I still don't get why you're all so sure that he was a Mage of Darkness! He literally used flames! There is no way a mage can have dual elements. He couldn't have had flames and darkness!"

"And how are you so sure that the owner of Grimoire of Darkness can't use Flames? They weren't ordinary flames. As I said before... I could feel them getting weak against my holy water, more than they should've. They aren't the flames that the Church of Fire uses." Elora shook her head in response.

"Also, who is to say that a dark mage can't use dark flames? A Grimoire is more powerful than you can imagine. And at times, it can give spells that it didn't to the old masters. Even I have a few spells that our Church Head didn't have before."

"Just because the old Ruler of Darkness didn't use dark flames in any battle doesn't mean others can't either." she further stated.

Eliana agreed with Elora. "Xinci, inform the Church of Light about what happened here. Have them come here as soon as they can. Meanwhile, I'll find a way to contact Lord Izen. The rest of you…."
