Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Novius was surrounded by dark spikes that appeared to be coming out of the ground, stopping right before they could actually touch him.

Gabriel walked closer to Novius this time. It was as if he was doing everything that Novius had done before. All the mist between them moved aside, clearing Gabriel's path.

There was only one difference this time compared to when Novius cast the spell. When Novius cast the spell, he used flying spears that were made using the Mist to surround Gabriel as well to show him how versatile this darkness was.

Gabriel didn't use the spears to surround him, leaving only the spikes on the ground to hold him in place.

He had also made some spears, but the spears weren't surrounding Novius. Instead, all the flying spears remained behind Gabriel as if waiting for a single command before shooting straight to Novius and Cylix.

"Hahaha..."

The entire field was surrounded in darkness when a laughter echoed. The laughter was filled with pride and some amusement.

It was none other than Cylix who had burst out laughing, not only impressed that Gabriel had succeeded in making this spell more stable but also due to the fact that Gabriel was using the same trick that Novius used to show off.

"Good! Very good! That's how it's supposed to be done!" He exclaimed, pleased. With this kind of skill, he believed that there was certainly a good chance that Gabriel could defeat them.

Gabriel's spell was executed perfectly, but his own strength wasn't quite on the level where he could keep that up for long. He was only a Mid Tier Mage when it came to the spiritual strength, which was what held him back from truly being able to keep this spell up for long.

For a Mid Tier Mage, a High Grade Spell was already too much, so keeping it up for a few minutes was already a big deal.

Moreover, despite using the spell with such control, Gabriel still seemed as if he could go on for a little longer.

The spears that were floating behind him disappeared along with all the mist, and the darkness as the World soon returned to normal. Despite having the ability, Gabriel canceled the spell on time.

He knew the longer he kept the spell going, the more burden it was going to place on his soul, taking longer to heal it.

As Gabriel canceled the spell, the cloak behind him disappeared as well. He finally came out of the zone of darkness, sitting on the ground.

When he was under the effect of the spell, he seemed perfectly fine and at ease, but it was only when he canceled the spell that he felt the true pain. His breathing was heavy, and his stomach was aching really bad.

The shaking of hands was once again back, albeit not as intense as the time he had used Wrath of the Dead.

Gabriel raised his shaking hand toward Cylix as if asking for something. He didn't even need to speak anything for Cylix to understand what he was asking for.

Cylix brought another Soul Healing Pill and placed it on Gabriel's hands. Gabriel swallowed the pill right away before falling to the ground, letting the pill take effect.

He had used the High Grade Spell twice in the last few hours, so even with the pill, things weren't as swift as before when it came to his healing.

"That spell was really good." Gabriel covered his eyes since the bright sun in the sky was making him feel uncomfortable when he rested. However, he still didn't forget to compliment the spell.

"It gave me the feeling of strength... A feeling of control...." he explained.

He had used the Spell of Necromancy like the Wrath of the Dead before. The spell was undoubtedly more powerful than the Paradise of Darkness by a huge margin even though both are considered High Tier Spells.

The Wrath of Undead spell was also very chaotic from what Gabriel had experienced before. When he used that spell, it was like he was tapping into a chaotic energy that wanted to destroy every obstruction in his path.

On the contrary, the Paradise of Darkness was different. It was like a very composed energy that didn't destroy anything. Instead, the Paradise of Darkness gave him the control of everything, as if showing him that it was just there for support.

With Wrath of Undead, Gabriel felt like it was a weapon of gods that could only be used to destroy things. However, with Paradise of Darkness, he felt more like it was something way more versatile.

It wasn't as destructive and powerful as Wrath of the Dead, but it gave him a Crowd Control ability, making him capable of not only attacking others but also to protect himself.

Since Gabriel had just embraced the Darkness and strengthened his Element of Darkness, it wasn't odd that he was uncomfortable in the light, at least for a short period of time.

To make things more comfortable for him, Novius changed the day into the night.

As Gabriel felt his surroundings turn dark, he opened his eyes again, feeling much better.

"Don't worry. It's just your body adjusting to what you went through. In a few hours, you should be perfectly fine." Cylix and Novius sat beside Gabriel, making sure he understood what he was going through.

For the next twenty-four hours, Gabriel rested and trained the same spell, practicing it again and again to improve himself. Under the tutelage of Novius, his improvement was good as well.

Even though Gabriel had perfected the spell for the most part, there were still a few things that could've been improved, and that's what Novius made him work on.

It was only after there were no flaws left in any of the spells that Gabriel learned from Novius that he was allowed to train next with Cylix to learn the High Tier Spell of Light as well.

It had been such a long time since Gabriel arrived on this floor that he had already lost the count for now. He didn't even know what was happening in the outside world, but that was the last thing he would've cared about as he stood before Cylix to learn his third High Tier Spell... The Spell of Light.

Once again, Cylix was accompanied by Novius who stood in the back this time, giving Cylix the space to teach.

Cylix opened his lips to speak, but before any word could even come out of his lips, a shout came from the back.

"Gabriel, if you can master his spell faster than you mastered mine, I'll give you a nice gift!"
