Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Karyk helped Gabriel escape Elzeira. He had already started fighting Aexin, but he could see that it was hard to win this battle.

The only way to stop Aexin was to destroy this entire realm with overwhelming strength. However, he wasn't sure if Gabriel had managed to seal the portals or not. He tried to save this world for as long as possible, which brought him to even more of a disadvantage.

One after another, cracks were appearing around the reality of Elzeira. At the same rate, wounds were appearing on Karyk's body, which were not healing.

There was something about Aexin's attack which made it hard for Karyk's healing to take effect. He also noticed that something else had gone wrong.

His healing became even worse the moment Gabriel had finished the seal, detaching Elzeira from their reality.

As soon as Karyk felt that the portal had been closed, he decided to let go and stop holding back. He was prepared to destroy Aexin and this world, along with himself. "This world isn't half bad to be your graveyard!" Karyk raised his hand, releasing every bit of essence he had gathered in his body.

The destruction of the world became faster. The cracks that were covering the entire world widened into a chasm, devouring everything in this world.

""You want to die together?" Aexin asked, laughing for the first time. "For a Prince of that civilization, you are very naive. Then again, you didn't get any teachings, so it makes sense for you to not know."

"The only person who will die here will be you!" Karyk retorted.

"We shall see about that."

Karyk was different this time. His essence had grown, now appearing comparable to Aexin's. Even if it couldn't defeat him, it could still keep him confined as the world crumbled around them.

"Before this world is gone, I will beat you to my heart's content!" Karyk declared, charging forward with his hand outstretched.

Aexin also advanced, his body splitting into multiple forms. It was impossible to discern which were illusions and which, if any, were real.

Karyk attacked all the bodies simultaneously, obliterating everything in his path. The world around him turned pitch black as reality itself disintegrated.

"As long as you don't remember your roots, you are nothing."

A voice whispered in Karyk's ear just as Aexin appeared behind him, his claws about to strike.

Karyk swiftly turned around, grabbing Aexin's wrist. But instead of feeling happy, he sensed imminent danger.

"I told you..."

The voice echoed from behind once more, while Aexin still stood in front of him. Another Aexin had appeared behind him and both were real.

Karyk tried to dodge, but Aexin's claws managed to rip a good chunk of flesh from his side.

Karyk jumped back, his blood dripping to the ground as he assessed the situation. He could see two Aexin and he had just experienced that both of them were real.

He also didn't understand what was happening with him. Ever since this battle began, he had been feeling a haze around his memories.

It was as if some unknown memories were trying to make their way into his mind, while the memories he knew became more muddled.

He was certain that he had forgotten a lot of things during this battle. Even if it wasn't permanent, he could feel the effect.

His strength had increased, but his control and abilities had weakened. Or rather, he even forgot which abilities he had in the first place.

Whenever he tried to remember them, he only saw scenes of a puddle of blood in an unknown Desert which blocked his vision.

"In a battle between past and present, both lose," Aexin said, appearing as if he knew what was happening with Karyk. "I will free you of these shackles. With death, neither your past nor your present will matter."

"As I don't have more time left, I will have to give you a quick death," he added, noticing that a majority of the world was gone already. It was only a matter of minutes before what was left was going to implode on itself.

Karyk stood his ground. He wasn't scared of death. If anything, he only wanted to drag this man with him to the afterlife.

"Even if I don't win this battle, I can still drag you to hell with me..." Karyk smiled, even as his face was completely pale and clothes stained in blood.

If he was scared of death, he wouldn't have stayed behind in the first place. The only regret was that he had failed to find his past.

He didn't realize that someone was watching him from the future. And that person was none other than him, who was reliving this moment.

Karyk in the future knew that he had survived in the past. But how did that happen, he didn't know until now.

He received an answer when he saw a portal open behind Karyk. A man stepped out of the portal, having a pendant around his neck.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He recognised that pendant. It was what helped them escape from the Angels after

their descent.

As for the person, the past didn't recognise him. But in the future he knew that this man was the person who had saved him in the past.

It was the thief who brought him to the world of Elzeira when he was a baby. Even if the man looked much older, it was impossible to not recognise him. However, one thing was strange about that man.

All over his face, there was a black pattern that looked like a tattoo. But that tattoo was alive and it was moving around his face like it had a life of its own.

"It's good to see you again, little prince," the old man looked back at Karyk, who was confused about this man who came from nowhere.

Before he could ask anything, the thief placed his finger on Karyk's forehead, immediately putting him to sleep.

"If only we had more time to talk about it... But I'm sure you can find the answer yourself..." A portal opened behind Karyk and the man pushed him in the portal.

"Where do you think you are taking my target?" Aexin rushed forward to stop Karyk, but the thief appeared in his path.

His finger touched Aexin's forehead, sending him flying back thousands of kilometers.

"The cause and effect are truly..." The man sighed as he closed the portal where Karyk was sent.

He tapped his foot on the ground, destroying what was left of this reality.
