Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Karyk came to his senses and found himself in a dark place. There were books lying all around him on the floor, some books being completely torn.

He was back in the library where he found the book that revealed a portion of the Thief\'s past while also triggering his own memories in the process.

He still couldn\'t believe that what he saw was real. He didn\'t even know what he could call himself. Was he a human? Was he the Abyss? Or was he something else entirely?

"You are back."

A young man was sitting not far from him. He closed the book that he was reading and placed the book aside.

He stood up and patted his clothes. "You made me wait quite a lot. The others went to hunt and even returned after a successful hunt, but you took so long to return."

"Hunt?" Karyk raised his head and looked at the man who had warned him against opening the book.

When he opened the book, the man looked quite shocked and upset. At that moment, he wanted to kill Karyk, but now he appeared very calm.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I\'m sure you found the place where that bastard hid the second key in those memories? Tell me the location and if you make it believable, I might not have to open that skull of yours to see them myself."

"I\'m not certain which second key you are talking about, but currently I am in a very bad mood," Karyk said as he raised his sleeves upwards.

He used his nails and started carving a formation that he had learned from the Angels in the memories.

"I truly don\'t understand if you are brave or just a fool. You would rather have me kill you and devour your memories than tell me directly?" The man lazily asked.

"You know what\'s the worst thing about you?" Karyk asked in return after finishing the formation on his hand.

As soon as he completed the formation, he was able to feel the restriction on this world being lifted for him. Even after so many years, the restriction was still as effective as ever, but the formation freed him from the effects.

"The worst thing about me? Is it that I am too merciful?"

"It\'s that your arrogance reminds me of that bastard," Karyk answered, thinking about Aexin. It didn\'t help that he had just relieved his battle with Aexin.

That half angel was just as arrogant as this man. The only difference was that Aexin was more capable.

"Although I\'m not sure who you are talking about, it seems that you have already made your choice. I would have to..."

The man sighed, as if it was really a bother to even kill Karyk and having to read all the unnecessary information in his mind just to find the information relevant to him.

However, as he was about to end the sentence, he came to a sudden halt. He saw something appear in Karyk\'s hand.

"Huh?"

Until now, Karyk\'s hand had been completely empty. But as he was speaking, he saw a heart appear in his hand. And strangely enough, that heart looked like the heart of his species.

"Where did you..." He tried to ask Karyk where he received that heart from, especially since the blood still appeared to be fresh.

Before he could finish his sentence, he felt something. He suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood as he lowered his head and looked at his chest.

It was only now that he noticed that there was a hole in his chest. The heart in Karyk\'s hand belonged to him, and that fresh blood was also his.

"H-how....?"

He couldn\'t understand how it happened. He hadn\'t even seen Karyk move, so how did he attack and return to his position? How was he so fast that even the pain was slower.

He dropped to his knees, blood pooling around him as his vision started to blur. "This... This is the feeling I had been missing." Karyk crushed the heart and tossed the remnants aside.

He felt comfortable like never before. There was no haze around his mind anymore. There was no restriction on his memories that could overwhelm his experience in this life.

Instead, he felt more complete. He felt more free as his Essence of Death had evolved into the essence of an abyss that felt more familiar. It was as if this was a part of his own body.

Not only could he control the essence of the abyss, but he also felt connected to the abyss that was a part of him now.

The Abyss was vast. It was so huge that it was able to swallow multiple galaxies. But at the same time, the same abyss was able to reside in the depths of his heart, not appearing any wider than a particle of dust.

Karyk watched the body of the young man who had taken his last breath. The man waited here all this time to kill him, but even to the point of his death, he could not

believe it.

"Undead isn\'t good enough. Why didn\'t I realize it before? Instead of controlling the

undead, I would rather control death itself."

Karyk had seen quite a lot of flaws in his ways, especially after he saw his life from beginning to the end. He also had a better understanding about the essence of death, which felt like just a small part of the abyss.

What was death? Abyss was death itself. Everything in the abyss died as long as the abyss desired. What was life? Abyss was life itself as it had been born with death.

Karyk walked towards the young man who was lying in the puddle of blood.

"Arise, death!" He commanded.

All the books in the room started shaking following just two words from him. The man\'s body lit in flames. His corpse was burned to ashes and so did every book in this

library.

The flames spread through the entire building and burned everything in its path.

In the depths of the flames, a figure rose. However, that figure didn\'t have a body. It didn\'t have a soul or a bloodline either. It wasn\'t alive, but it wasn\'t dead.
