Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 815 815: Tremors of Archangel

"After such a long time, our dream will soon come true."

In a secret chamber, the Lord of Elzerians sat on his knees, praying to the Statue before him.

"I haven't forgotten the problem that you mentioned. That man... He must die! Unfortunately, now doesn't seem to be the time for that."

He remembered the Archangel Statue's warning regarding Karyk's presence, addressing him as the Forgotten Prince. Although he still didn't understand what the prophecy by the Statue meant, but he knew that it showed what kind of threat Karyk was towards them.

Out of millions of otherworldly beings, only Karyk had been able to kill them, which was a huge threat in itself. That's also why he had sent Gabriel with his sister.

The Initial Plan was for Gabriel to use his familiarity with Karyk to kill him while his sister released the seal on their world. Although his sister had succeeded, Gabriel had betrayed them at the last moment.

With this betrayal, things had become complicated since Karyk now knew that Elzeria wanted to kill them.

Realizing the possibility, the King was certain that killing Karyk became even harder at this moment. After realizing that they were after his life, he was certain Karyk wasn't going to step foot in Elzeria.

Moreover, as long as the other world didn't become useful with them after being covered in their element, it was risky for them to go there.

"It's only a matter of time before that place becomes compatible for us. When that moment comes, I will make sure that the boy doesn't get to live long!"

The Emperor bowed before the Statue once more before leaving. His fresh blood was still on the foot of the statue. Unfortunately, this time he didn't receive any guidance as its previous guidance wasn't completed.

As the Emperor walked away, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The failed guidance from the Statue meant that he would have to rely solely on his own decision-making about the uncertain future.

From this moment on, it all depended on his own actions. However, he was confident in his abilities. Most things had gone according to his plan. It was only a matter of time before they left this place. At that time, no one was going to be able to stop them.

The Emperor hadn't expected Karyk to enter their universe, despite realizing his intentions. At least not this soon.

Unfortunately, against all his expectations, the person he was the most concerned about entered the universe of Elzeria.

With the seal broken, Karyk wasn't restricted to just the forest in Elzeria. All the space tunnels had shifted with the opening of new ones.

With the Spatial Changes, Karyk landed in a completely unfamiliar place which was far too different from the forest.

Unlike the lush green forest, he appeared on a small island in the middle of a vast sea. There was no life around him.

The air was heavy and filled with a sense of desolation. Karyk looked around, his eyes narrowing as he took in his surroundings. The island was barren, with jagged rocks jutting out from the ground and a dark, foreboding aura lingering in the air. It was a stark contrast to the forest from the past.

The only good thing about this place was the elements. Although they weren't completely non-existent like inside the forest, they were still very weak, barely noticeable.

As he stood there, trying to make sense of his new surroundings, a feeling of unease washed over him. He couldn't shake the sense that he was being watched, that there was something lurking in the shadows. Instinctively, he reached for his sword, ready to defend himself if need be.

But as he scanned the empty island, he couldn't see any immediate threat. The only thing he noticed was a peculiar structure in the distance. It appeared to be a ruined temple, its crumbling walls barely standing against the tests of time. Curiosity piqued, Karyk decided to investigate, hoping to find some answers in this mysterious place.

As he made his way towards the temple, Karyk couldn't help but feel a strange sensation wash over his spine. The closer he got, the more the sense of unease intensified. It was as if the very air around him was whispering secrets, secrets that he was not yet meant to know.

Pushing aside his apprehension, Karyk stepped into the temple, his footsteps echoing through the empty halls. The interior was just as dilapidated as the exterior, with broken pillars and fallen debris littering the floor. But amidst the ruins, something caught his eye.

There, in the center of the temple, stood a statue. It was different from the other statue in the Emperor's Palace as it was much smaller in size. However, other than that, it looked quite identical.

This one was of a figure shrouded in darkness, with an ethereal glow emanating from its eyes. Karyk felt an inexplicable connection to the statue, as if it held the key to his purpose in this world.

"Are you the God of this Universe?" Karyk asked, reaching out his hand towards the status. He didn't know why, but from the strange statue, he felt an otherworldly energy emanating.

The statue depicted a being that looked like an Archangel, sharp wings behind its back. However, it looked completely unlike any species he had ever seen before.

As Karyk's fingers were about to touch the statue, the ground itself started shaking.

The tremors grew stronger with each passing second, causing Karyk to hesitate in his attempt to touch the statue.

Right before his eyes, the earthquake tremors intensified, hurting the already forgotten temple. Cracks developed in the statue which came crumbling down right before Karyk's eyes.

It was as if the statue had chosen to be destroyed, rather than letting Karyk touch it.

Not just the statue, but even the entire Temple started falling apart, piece by piece. Karyk gazed at the ruins of the statue as he frowned, slowly retreating from the breaking temple, his thoughts in a mess.
