Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage



Lestia looked in the distance, feeling a unique presence that intrigued her as well.

"Is this the person you've been looking for? The one who managed to defeat you even when you carried that thing with you?" she asked Ezekiel, an intrigued smile spreading across her lips.

Ezekiel also looked in the same direction, carrying a frown. That wasn't it. Although he also sensed that presence just now, it definitely wasn't Chaos.

"It's his little brother... He's finally showing himself." Ezekiel was certain that this was the aura of Janus. That man was finally here.

He looked back at Lestia. "Ten minutes... That's all I want. After ten minutes, I'll willingly give myself up. These ten minutes of my life are all I ask of you..."

He was certain that he couldn't face Lestia. He could only win if he used all his hidden cards, but in that case, he couldn't face Janus. A battle with Lestia was enough to exhaust the last embers of his life, which he had been saving for this moment.

Lestia cast a curious gaze in Ezekiel's direction. Despite being here on a mission, she couldn't help but contemplate the possibility of bending the rules ever so slightly. The choice rested solely in her hands.

"If a dying man requests me like that, no matter how evil I am, I can't help but agree to your request," the woman spoke, sighing.

However, just as she finished her sentence, she burst into laughter. "Hahaha, Did you really think I'll say that? Do you really think I don't know you'll die even if you win? Ten minutes of your life? Why should I even give you one minute? Every second of your life belongs to us now! You've failed!"

A shackle appeared in the woman's hands. "Since I'm here, I can only finish my task."

Lestia hurled the Shackles with the speed of a striking snake towards Ezekiel, aiming to immobilize him and render him helpless.

"You!" Ezekiel clenched his teeth. His aura flared as well. Although he didn't want to waste his life essence here, but he had no choice. With this stubborn woman, he couldn't leave unless he dealt with her. Unfortunately, this was the last thing he wanted.

He called out the Sword of Life that he had taken from Caen.

Seeing the sword, the woman's eyes revealed a surprise as she recognized the gems embedded on the sword. But instead of being concerned, she appeared even more excited.

"To think that this was here." Her words contained a hidden meaning.

Ezekiel prepared to block the attack while telling Gabriel to leave. Gabriel wasn't weaker than him. Although Gabriel couldn't become immortal by exhausting his life essence, his strength wasn't much weaker. Ezekiel had taught Gabriel everything he could.

Despite that, he didn't tell Gabriel to find and kill Janus. It wasn't that he didn't trust his strength, but he didn't want Gabriel to put his life on the line for his grudge.

However, a look of astonishment crossed his face as he witnessed Gabriel materialize right before his eyes. What shocked him even more was that Gabriel didn't flinch, but instead positioned himself directly in front of him, shielding him from the attack.

"What are you doing?" Ezekiel asked Gabriel, stunned. He didn't expect the young man to fight for him. Did he really not know what kind of existence he was against? Did he not read the letter?

"Finish what you're here for," Gabriel told Ezekiel, a smile appearing on his lips. His entire body was in pain as the attack was more powerful than he expected, but he didn't show it.

He was here to save Ezekiel's life, but it was certain that there was no way. Even if Ezekiel didn't fight today, the woman wasn't going to let him go. Ezekiel was truly standing at the edge of a cliff. lightsnovel

Since he couldn't save Ezekiel's life, there was only one way he could repay Ezekiel for everything he did for him. Not only was Ezekiel like a master to him, but he was also family.

Gabriel didn't want Ezekiel to die, unable to fulfill the goal that kept him going even after he lost everything. Giving him this opportunity of revenge was the last thing he could do for the fatherly figure.

Ezekiel was stunned. On one end was his lifelong desire. On the other end was Gabriel who was putting his life on the line for him. In the end, he could only choose one.

Ezekiel stood there, torn between his desire for revenge and the loyalty and sacrifice of the young man who had become like a family member to him. The Shackles were closing in, and he had to make a decision. The seconds felt like an eternity as he contemplated his choice.

The young man had no blood relation with him, yet he didn't hesitate to block an incoming attack for him.

With resolve in his eyes, Ezekiel came to a realization. Even if he were to finish his revenge, but if he were to sacrifice Gabriel in the process, then it wasn't worth it. Even in death, he couldn't forgive himself.

Ezekiel, at least in this moment, didn't think about revenge. Even if he had to waste all his hidden cards and lose all hope for revenge, he was willing.

The ring in his right hand started shining.

"How can I run and leave you behind? Am I that cowardly?" Ezekiel sighed. It was he who brought this trouble here after all.

Lestia, surprised by Gabriel's decision, burst into laughter. She doesn't attack again. She simply watched with great interest, as if something amusing was taking place.

"It's no use for you to stay and fight. I have a method to escape when the time comes, so don't worry about me." Gabriel tried to convince Ezekiel. All he had to do was delay this woman after all.

Ezekiel hesitated for a moment, contemplating Gabriel's words. It was true that they both could fight the woman and still hardly win. Escaping was a better option, at least for Gabriel. But could he really delay that woman without getting hurt?

Before he could speak further, Gabriel took the lead and attacked the woman, roaring "Don't waste this opportunity! Are you going to get cold feet after coming this far? Is this battle worth a thousand years of vengeance?"

Ezekiel had come to a decision, but with Gabriel's words, his mind wavered again. It was really easier to deal with Janus than it was to deal with this woman. If Gabriel could delay her for a few minutes, he could kill Janus and return.

In the end, Ezekiel thought of something. He placed a Talisman on Gabriel's back. In case Gabriel's life was in danger, the Talisman could switch their places, basically trading their lives! On the other hand, if his life was in danger, the Talisman wasn't going to activate.

Only after making sure that Gabriel was safe, he decided to leave.

Gabriel attacked the woman while Ezekiel flew away in the direction of Janus who was watching from a distance.

"I really can't hurt this little friend. Do we really need to fight? I mean, isn't your friend already dead? Who are you fighting for?" The Woman disappeared as Gabriel's attack passed through her body.

Surprisingly, she appeared hundreds of meters away, right in front of Ezekiel who was flying towards Janus. Her hand transformed into a claw, being stabbed in Ezekiel's chest.
