Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 864 864: Nothing can stop us

Karyk stood silently, trying to think of a way to enter the city. He could enter by simply forcing his way inside. He could even use the same attack that he used to kill the Emperor's sister and destroy the barrier.

But in the end, he knew that both of these plans were troublesome. He didn't want to make his exploration of the Royal Graveyard more troublesome.

"It's time for your help." He waved his hand, a Spatial Portal opened around him.

The Spatial Portal was much larger than before, appearing like a doorway. From the portal, a man stepped out, dressed in a General's Attire.

Strangely enough, the man was no other than the General who had escaped the Celestial Dynasty, only to be killed by him.

His bloody clothes were changed. He was now wearing a completely identical attire that was much cleaner. These were the clothes that Karyk had his people make without telling them what these were for.

The General was standing tall, but his face appeared slightly pale and his eyes somewhat lifeless.

It took Karyk over three weeks to grasp the knowledge from the Celestial Dynasty and merge that with his knowledge successfully. After that, it took him a few months before he finally managed to bring the General back as an Undead that was only loyal to him.

The General still had his memories and knew how he died. He also had his intelligence. But still, he held absolute loyalty towards his master.

After bringing out the General, Karyk also pulled out a dark robe. He covered himself with the dark robe before hiding his face behind a mask. He also wore silver gloves in both his hands.

"Do I look like them now?" he asked the General next to him.

"You miss one thing..." The General answered.

Frowning, Karyk looked down. Only now he remembered.

"Ah, how could I forget." He brought out the Royal Emblem from his Spatial Storage, wearing that on his chest.

"Now you truly look like a Shadow Guard of His Majesty," the General explained, respectfully standing next to Karyk.

"Good." Karyk nodded. "In that case, it's time we go back to your home."

Karyk walked towards the Gate of the Royal City, accompanied by the General.

Although no one saw Karyk's face thanks to his mask, they saw his attire and the emblem on his chest. Seeing that, their faces went pale.

Shivering, they opened the door with great respect before moving aside.

They did manage to recognise the General as well. It had been a long time since they last saw him. They were surprised that he was still alive as they had thought he would've been dead since he didn't return until now. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Since the General was accompanying a Shadow Guard, they didn't ask questions. They believed it must be known by the Emperor anyway. A Shadow Guard only listened to the Emperor after all.

As he approached the city gates, Karyk was greeted by the sight of bustling streets filled with people from all walks of life.

Merchants displayed their wares, their voices blending into a lively symphony of trade. Citizens hurried to and fro, going about their daily routines, while the aroma of freshly baked bread and exotic spices wafted through the air.

For the most part, it appeared like an ordinary City, completely unlike the Royal City of a higher species.

Karyk navigated through the bustling crowd, his eyes carrying some curiosity. The architecture of the city was a sight to behold, with grand palaces and elegant buildings adorning the streets.

The sound of music and laughter echoed from the taverns and inns, inviting many to immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere.

....

Within the grand halls of the Royal Palace of Elziria resided a magnificent statue, a portrayal of a majestic archangel adorned with six awe-inspiring wings on each side.

The room itself was engulfed in an eerie darkness, with only the presence of the statue.

It had been over half a year since the status last made a movement. And it was at the moment when Karyk had first entered the land of Elziria.

As Karyk stepped foot into the Royal City, a remarkable change unfolded. The once motionless statue suddenly sprang to life, its eyes piercing through the darkness with an intense crimson glow.

"The Forgotten Prince..." A word came out from the statue as its lips moved.

This was the first time the statue had made a movement without getting a sacrifice from the Royal Emperor. Unfortunately, this time no one was here to listen to its words.

After a few seconds, the eyes of the statue closed on its own, the room returning to the darkness and the silence it previously possessed.

....

On one end, Karyk entered the Royal Capital of Elziria. On the other end, the Emperor of Elziria was standing before the window, looking at the beautiful city.

"I want to go out," he said.

However, a sharp response came from the other side. "Absolutely not!"

His sister stood behind him, glaring at him. "You have already sacrificed your immortality to get Gabriel on our side, only for him to betray us!"

"Now you aren't immortal. It's dangerous for you to take any risk. If you die, I will never be able to forgive myself!" the girl exclaimed.

The young man weakly laughed. "I have lived for close to two centuries. Even if I hadn't given away my immortality, I would've been dead in under a decade. Death is something that even we can't avoid, so why worry?"

"Moreover, since I've lost my immortality, I can't even approach the Archangel within the temple as I can't offer a sacrifice. We are without guidance. If I were to die, you would become the Ruler and you'll be able to approach it and ask for guidance..."

"I don't need guidance! I need you!" the girl exclaimed. "Moreover, why would we even need guidance now? Everything is going as per plan. Nothing can stop us now! We don't need any guidance. We only need our emperor! We only need you!"
