Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Alion didn\'t even consider trying to help Jia. If anything, he wanted to leave her behind for now and continue ahead.

In the sky, Jia had already started fighting the stone statue which was somehow able to keep up with her.

Even the impact of their clashes was able to send waves down in the surrounding, occasionally even making the ground tremble.

The Stone Lion was very swift and even faster than Jia. It was able to avoid Jia\'s Sword as if it had intelligence of its own and knew what was dangerous.

The stone lion barely gave Jia an opportunity to get close to it.

"Isn\'t it just a stone statue? How is it able to keep up with a Demigod?"

Even though the stone statue was something that existed in this unknown City, but still it was just a statue while Jia was a real Demigod. To see the two on an equal footing was surprising even for Gabriel.

If just a stone statue was this strong, Gabriel couldn\'t help but wonder how strong the sculpture of this statue was.

"If you knew the creator of that stone statue, you wouldn\'t have asked that question. Even though that person wasn\'t a god, he was a Demigod who was closest to being a god. No matter how strong Jia is, she isn\'t in the same league as that guy." Alion observed the majestic stone statue in the sky.

"In that era, that guy was quite famous as well. The Stone Lion statue was probably something that he made when he was quite young. It doesn\'t even have a fraction of the strength of his other statues that I saw before."

"In that case, can that little girl actually hold the Stone Lion back? Won\'t we have to deal with it later when it attacks us if Jia fails?" Even though Gabriel didn\'t like the fact that they were pulled into a fight out of nowhere, but it was also true that they could only destroy that stone statue if they wanted to progress further.

Alion shrugged, as if he didn\'t even consider the possibility.

"Even though the stone statue is strong, it can\'t last long in a battle with someone like that crazy girl."

"Doesn\'t look like that." Gabriel could see that it didn\'t look like Jia had any advantage. She was completely defeated in speed which made it impossible for her heavy sword to even touch the stone lion.

"You might not know this, but there\'s a reason I don\'t fight that crazy girl." Alion had a lot of comprehension in his eyes as he looked at the battle. "That girl is a battle maniac. While other people exhaust their strength in a long fight, this girl gets stronger the longer she fights."

"That\'s why, it\'s better to avoid fighting this girl if one can\'t kill her immediately. Otherwise, she\'ll only keep getting stronger until she wins while others exhaust their strength."

Thanks to Alion, Gabriel finally managed to understand why he avoided the little girl so much instead of just fighting once. With an ability like that, the girl was really a headache for her enemies.

It was also just like Alion had explained. The longer this battle went on, the stronger Jia appeared. With time, her speed only increased more and more, until her speed finally surpassed the lion.

The speed that she showed now was comparable to her speed when she had tossed the Sword away last time. However, the surprising part was that she still held the sword this time. It only made Gabriel wonder just what her speed was going to be in this battle at this point if she tossed away that sword now.

Now that the gap in speed was covered, even the stone Lion couldn\'t keep up with the little girl who appeared right above it.

Jia thrust her sword down which passed straight through the Seven Clawed Lion. The Lion that was so fierce previously froze in place as its body was impaled with Jia\'s sword.

Cracks started developing around the body of the Stone Lion as soon as the little girl pulled out her heavy sword. Before long, its entire body was covered in cracks.

Right before everyone\'s eyes, the Stone Lion shattered into thousands of pieces.

"Too bad, I wanted to use my sculpting skills to make it look even better." The little girl stood mid-air watching the stone pieces fall to the ground. "Who would\'ve thought that it would be so ungrateful."

Even though all the stone statues had fallen to the ground, there was still a small speck of white light floating mid-air that seemingly came out of the stone lion\'s body.

Jia didn\'t care about the speck of light as if it wasn\'t even worth her attention.

Instead, it was Alion who paid more attention to that small speck of white light.

His figure flickered as he appeared mid-air, right before Jia. He reached out his hand, grabbing the speck of light before appearing back on the ground next to Gabriel.

Jia also landed on the ground, slightly curious as to why Alion would take that speck of light which had no use for them.

She soon received her answer as Alion reached out his hand, opening his fist before Gabriel, revealing the speck of light.

"Here, this is the small bit of comprehension that the sculptor of the Stone Lion left inside to make it work. It\'s useless for us, but it should bring you quite a few benefits."

Alion gave the small speck of light to Gabriel.

Gabriel also thought that this speck of light appeared somewhat special. This was something that belonged to a powerful demigod after all. If he could get even the slightest bit of understanding about how these statues were created from this speck of light, it was truly beneficial to him.

Not only could he have a better way to deal with such statues in the future, but he could also create something of his own. However, that was only his assumption for now. He still had no idea if it was going to work or not.

Gabriel reached out his hand, touching the small speck of light, which was absorbed directly inside his body.

Gabriel closed his eyes, feeling a strange sense of comprehension that had entered his mind. It was as if a strange knowledge was being comprehended by him on its own. For a moment, he even forgot about his surroundings, deeply immersed in the knowledge.
